*SILIA*“I feel like you only keep me around to use me,” Nick huffed as we drove to Lisa’s house.Gasping dramatically at his words, I widened my eyes, placed a hand on my heart and asked, “Whatever made you think of that?”“Maybe because you never call me for a simple cup of coffee or to hang out like how normal people do? Why is it always lining up on the edge with you?” He asked, beeping at a slow driver in front of us.“That’s not why you are angry. You would never skip work and stop for a brunch even if that’s the last thing I ask you to do for me,” I said with an accusation clear in my voice, “Besides I gave up after I called you a few times before and you always said you were too busy for that.”“Move it you motherfucker!” he shouted at the man ahead of us honking at him again as he took his time answering my question.“Well what is it?” I asked not giving up yet when I didn’t receive an answer from him.“For one I know that you are doing something dangerous again-”“No, I am n
*SILIA*“I should have known I wouldn’t be able to win from you,” I sheepishly smiled approaching Draven from behind Nick who for once didn’t look as scared as he usually was in front of him. When Draven’s expression only narrowed further at my words I shielded myself further behind Nick and said, “But you should know that what you did was wrong!”“That’s only because I didn’t want you to get hurt,” he said making me feel guilty and then all of a sudden he looked away and then mumbled, “Also I wanted to see if you could get yourself out of there on your own. I wouldn’t have actually kept you locked there for more than half an hour.”There was a smile on his face and it was making me confused looking up at Nick who was staring at me with same surprise I tentatively asked, “So you aren’t mad?”“Not yet but if you don’t stop hugging another man before me then I just might,” he said and at once I let go of Nick and ran into Draven’s arms that opened to catch me immediately.“So I did the
*SILIA*“Are you sure we should be here now of all times?” I asked, looking at the quiet unfamiliar diner that Draven and I were sitting in. “I mean shouldn’t we go back and plan something to somehow take down Lisa or at least try to track her?”I was worried especially after that note. It really made me question if it was a good idea for us to do what we did. Draven said it was better if they made movements than to stay still as it would be easier to catch them than when they would be comfortably hidden somewhere.“Hey relax a little, we aren’t going out of our way to waste time, we have just stepped outside for some dinner. It’s perfectly alright to take breaks in between,” he said, taking hold of my hand and bringing it up to his lips.Suddenly realizing something I asked, “Did you bring us out here because you knew I was hyperventilating before in the conference room where we showed the note to the others?”The guilty smile immediately came on his face making me realize that it ha
*SILIA*“Can’t get enough of your boyfriend, huh?” A hand tapped me on the shoulder making me turn around to greet Nick.“Try soon to be fiancé,” I said, showing him the bracelet I had on.“Congratulations,” he said, identifying the intricate design of my previous engagement ring. “But I think we should get out of here first.”Taking me by my arm he huddled me closer to him and shielding me from the people ahead he pushed through the oncoming crowd of people to go to the café.“What are you doing here anyway? I thought you would be waiting for me in the café,” I said looking at him as I pulled us closer to the side of the pavement towards the building and away from the thickly forming mob.“That was the plan but when I saw that the scene outside wasn’t looking good in your favor I instead came out to look for you,” he said pulling me closer when a woman rushed past me almost knocking me over in the process as she shrieked to her friends to go see Draven. “Who knows who lurks in this c
*SILIA*Lisa charged at me without a second’s pause and bracing myself I waited for her attack to either dodge or counter. Since I had a tracker fit into my phone I didn’t worry much about Alfeo coming here soon to find me but till then either I had to escape or stall.“Nick move to the side I’ll take care of this,” I said giving him a slight push to move aside but he didn’t move and I watched as he moved one of his leg back brought out one of his hand in a Kung Fu stance.“So you think you can fight me?” Lisa laughed and aiming or him instead of me she was ready to swipe her dagger at him. I tried pushing Nick to the side but he didn’t budge and just when Lisa was about to strike him he moved me away with a powerful shove making me stagger to the side as he blocked her attack with hand caught hold of her arm in the swiftness twisted it to make her lose her weapon and then punched her face making her stumble back in surprise.“Fuck!” she shouted holding onto her nose as she looked at
*SILIA*My eyes slowly started adjusting to the dim lighting of the room that I was in.The scene was almost ironic as now I was the one in bounds like the members of the Fedelta had been just a few hours ago. I had been dreading being in the position that they had been and it was almost like I had jinxed myself there by even thinking about it.A few people sat to the side of the room where they were talking and drinking among themselves not yet realizing that I was awake. My hands were tied to the chair I was sitting on and I could barely feel my lower body yet most probably still induced under the drug that the kidnappers used.I still can’t fucking believe that I have been kidnapped.Keeping my eyes shut still I reckoned that if they hadn’t killed me yet then they needed me alive and the longer I stayed unconscious the longer I would be safe. Plus this way I could collect some information on what all this was all about.Straining to hear what the people were talking about I tried s
*SILIA*When I listened to this man’s voice I could at once recognize him as my captor from the strange words he had spoken in my ears moments before I had blacked out.From the way he had spoken to me then it looked like he knew me but I couldn’t for the life of me remember him.I had never once seen this face before…Green eyes angry and burning under the dim light over the door looked lethal. It was as if merely from those darkened and narrowed jewels one could determine the unsaid wrath that he was going to bring them. The aura shrouding him was of no ordinary man and for a second I wondered if I had been in a worse situation than I had thought.Greg, who had been ready to hit me, had cowered at the thunder of his voice and was hiding behind the blonde man who barely lifted his gaze to stare at the new predator.“I asked a question or do you fucking want to die,” the mystery man spoke again this time calmer in his tone but still very angry.The bald man who had been the last one h
*SILIA*The right hand man of Ravens?It didn’t take a genius to know that he had kidnapped me for information on Draven or about Romani. This wasn’t even the worst; he could use me to get Draven to pull out of the game.“So you know why I have you here?” he asked, his eyes brighter than before now that I had recognized him.“Yes I know and you are not getting anything out of me no matter what you do,” I said and although I tried to act tough I didn’t exactly feel that brave. I dreaded the kind of torture that he might put me through.His eyebrows creased at my words and his confusion was clear on his face. “I think you have got it wrong.”This time it was my turn to feel that confusion but I decided to stay silent instead of arguing with him. Who knows what kind of trick he was playing on me to get out the information that he needed. I wasn’t going to make it easy for him to use me even though he had successfully kidnapped me.“I think you have already thought the worst of me,” he s
