2024-10-29 19:42:56The rich caramel melted in my mouth, the alluring aroma of pancakes captivated me to have another bite. Despite knowing that I was being continuously watched, I suddenly felt more cautious and uneased. My fingers were carefully confined around the porcelain cup, till now I didn't know how badly I was shaking.
Ignoring his entire existence, I took another bite of sweet pancakes and swallowed the delicacy with a full sip of coffee. What could be more specific than caramel-melted pancakes and a dark cream-covered cup of coffee?
I take my words back.
I had been less aware of the fact that Silas was internationally making me nervous. His divinely beautiful face and handsome features weren't helping either. Through the corner of my eyes, I could see him leaning back against the chair with his muscled arms folded across his chest. He had his head tilted towards the right as he watched me with his hawk-like eyes, shamelessly not hiding the fact that I know he was gazing

Severin Anderson looked dreadfully malicious. The long leather trench coat added crisp to his already terrifyingly aura. Unlike days ago, he had a sly smirk plastered over his face. With a victorious smile, Silvio very well knew what did it meant."I'm glad you came...." Silvio's Italian accent was thicker than ever."I said I would..." Severin's eyes lingered on his rival's face for a moment.Dante watched from the entrance of the terrace of Silvio's office, a glass wall separating them apart. Dante couldn't hear their conversation, but he could read the situation. Silvio had exclusively ordered him to stay outside, knowing how badly the situation he was in. On the other hand, Micah was in the basement, ready for Silvio's call, to pursue their plan further.It was dangerous but effective."Let's skip to the important business now.""Speak," Silvio said looking over him as he leaned forward whilst his elbows rested on the table differentiati

After the unexpectedly calm meeting with Severin, and Micah's failed attempt to hack into his phone, I called Andrew, the arms dealer.I didn't knew if it's just wishful thinking, but I couldn't trust Severin. Though I was aware that the man was doing nothing but walking in his father's shoe, but I couldn't afford to let my revenge cost Sadie's life. In any case, I wasn't a moron to think that Severin could be trusted despite the fact that he came in my mansion without letting his father or Silas know. At this point, I had already started to assume the relation between Andersons, this was a good strike, until Sadie's situation is resolved.Anderson wouldn't hurt her.If they did, they knew the consequences.They maybe bold enough to play with her mind, help her escape but they knew better. If I wanted, I would have already had her beside me. But for that, I had to put the life my men on stake, which also was a big deal. Dante was injured, Micah was lost b

The wind was chilled, the blazing rays of the sun were failing to provide warmth, despite this, I was still not ready to go inside, though Randy had come to take me three times. According to him, Silas wanted to see me. Deep inside I knew he had nothing to say to me, but he might be worried if I would try to escape. Well, his worries were valid.Not only did I want to escape, but I also sought some answers. Not to forget how I was getting more paranoid bypassing second. The situation no longer was in my hands, I had already lost the privilege. Which however made me wonder if Silvio knew where I was.I admit I had only spent countable months with the devil himself, but the fragments I had of him were enough to make me understand how vast his connections were. Not only does he own more than enough properties in New York, but I had also once overheard Micah saying how many more investments he had made.Also, he was a mafia leader. As much as I know, leaders p

My stomach growled again.It was not easy to starve myself.Heaving a defeated sigh, I groaned in desperation. My eyes closed shut as I rubbed my belly.It wouldn't be wrong to sneak some food from kitchen. Atleast that wouldn't be drugged. And asking Silas for food, I couldn't afford to getting drugged again.Opening the door of the room, I looked from left to right. The hallway was clear. It was my chance. Licking my dry lips, I walked towards the stairs. The building was quiet, bodyguards were on patrol maybe. Whatever the reason was, I was happy that no one was in sight. Finding the kitchen wasn't difficult for me.Just on the right of the main door, there was a modern sized open kitchen. A small long refrigerator on left corner, groceries on kitchen counter, pots assembled accordingly over racks. Minimalist yet sophisticated.Anyways.

I could argue that he didn't need to, but I kept my mouth shut and followed him. I didn't wante dto run into Edward again, and probably this was enough to make me seek comfort in his mere presence. I knew it wasn't my fault, but knowing Edward over years, I knew that idiot would probably blame me. He still doubts me, not that I minded, but he still thinks that my nature was to stay loyal to him. Always.He walked slightly in front of me. We didn't talk, choose to make the journey in silence. The silence, however was chaotic. Not only Silas had saved me, he had partially seen me half-naked. The shivering thought made me tighten my hold onto the fabric of his coat.I eyed his back. His off-white shirt clung indecently to his torso, the material looked shiny. Probably silk. Moreover, I wasn't delusional to think that Silas wasn't a foe. Him saving me didn't meant that we were pals, and we would talk about our pasts but I was hopeful that

There were only several moments in life when silence make no sense. The eerie feeling could remind us one of being alive. Of hearing emotions through the tranquility, the serenity that weighs the words down, suppressing our sentiments.I could hear the silence now, could feel the waves of memories and melodies of the way his breath seized now and then whilst he pondered something.Nothing. Everything. All at once, I could feel his emotions yet I was failing to reach him."Sadie."His soft voice warmed me, filled me with the noise. No problem was that big, but our mind makes it otherwise.

He didn't know what he was supposed to do. That had been apparent from the beginning. That was what made the choice so difficult. What he was supposed to do and what he would do were not the same. His motive was to use her against his rival, to bring down his enemy, have a grave victory. But his desire was distinct, molded, and morphed into a harmonious composition of sentiments.This would have been fine if he were willing to face the inevitable, he had no ways to recover. He once was calculated, but now all he was left with was that small eerie feeling, small yet heavy. Just like the ocean, he was calm and tranquil, but just like the ocean, he had internal waves deep inside his heart which were howling loud.He had regularly exhibited signs of emotional dependency on their relationship, with her he felt at ease, including possessiveness when he witnessed Edward forcing her, jealousy when he saw Silvio with her, fear of rejectio

A fiery storm brewed within Silvio's gaze, his eyes ablaze with a tempest of fury. Silas clasped onto my arms, his grip growing ever tighter, as Silvio's searching gaze followed the path of Silas's touch. I could sense the grinding of his teeth, and witnessed a deep well of loathing fill his eyes, like a piercing flame.“Guards!” Silas shouted loudly, causing me to startle at the sound of his voice. I kept my gaze fixed on Silvio's face while he simmered with anger and a group of men closed in around us. I felt a lump form in my throat as I assessed the predicament we were in. Silvio was at a clear disadvantage, and Alejandro approached Silas with a manic grin on his face.“Give me the girl,” he said and Silas shook his head. His eyes were on Silvio as he said. “She’s coming with me.” With his words, he jerked me to him as his arm slid from my bicep to my waist and he squeezed as Silvio roared. “Don’t fucking touch her.” He said calmly, too calmly. And my eyes shed tears as Silas sm

Fear was just malice, a feeling of failure, a sweet tangerine taste that had been ripped away with lies wrapped around dressed like beautiful truth I never knew I needed to survive. I just stood there, watching in pure startlement, as Dante rolled over in pain, his hands already wrapped around his head as he groaned in agonizing pain. The hit was fatal, the nerve Silas had hit was just above the nape, inflicting certain severe damage. My legs moved on their own as Silas motioned me towards him. My breathing was no more normal but a shattered breath leaving now and then. My brain was far too gone to respond or to give any commands or say anything. My eyes are still on Dante. Watching him as he suffered. "Come here. Now." Words were just an echo of sound that's an echo of air that's an echo of fear. Wobbling on my shaky steps, I somehow managed to reach him. It was just a push of air when his free hand was wrapped around my arm and with a hard tug, he jerked me forward. My breath c

"So...I am gonna ask you this for the last time...where the hell is she?" Silvio quipped as he kick Severin harshly over the curve of his abdomen, just over the wound he had inflicted on him a few minutes ago. Severin groaned as he rolled over in pain, his eyes closed shut while he pressed the area where Silvio had shot him. The blood had started to pool around him and he could find himself already on verge of losing consciousness."You...will pay for this....for betraying me...." Severin moaned out in agony as Silvio pressed his foot against his wounded side more firmly.He looked down at him with coldness marring his eyes."I assure you," he said calmly. "If any harm is to come to her, this visit will not end well....for you and your family." Despite being injured, Severin still managed to look heatedly at him."You bastard, you knew she was here....yet you deceive me." Severin looked a

Silas was taking a shower when the door of his bedroom was knocked harshly. His hazel eyes narrowed into slits as he glared at the door. For god's sake! He groaned. His tensed muscles were still stiff as he walked towards the door while wrapping the towel around his waist as he held back the urge to kill the person who disturbed him at this hour.He was already tired. Last night was still playing with his mind and this led him to spend the whole night with his mother, crying and talking like a mentally retarded person. The fact that he was drunk, added gruesome to his dignity. He had never visited his mother drunk.But the memories were still sober.Sighing, he opened the door."G-Good morning, Master Anderson."The made bowed her head down, her hands clasped in front, and Silas noted the shiver of her fingers as she tried not to look at him.He raised his brows."What?"

She felt a immediate rush of pain attacking her as she stirred to her left. It took her a whole minute to sit up as she struggled to keep her eyes open. Groaning, she managed to found herself in sitting position."Miss Quintin." A faint voice again called to her with softness drawing her out of her peaceful slumber as she promptly awaken to the soothing sound of the female.Frowning with perplexity that bounded her to take in her surroundings. She was in same room she had been residing in past few days, but she was not in same place she achingly slept last night by the cold material of couch rather she was nestled upon the soft mattresses, embraced warmly beneath the velvet blanket and warm quilt.
