What?

Draven was following me himself now?

What the fuck did I do this time?

Could it be true that he is coming to ‘mess me up’ like Nicholas had claimed to?

The thoughts were running wild in my head and were only pressing down on me more and more as I saw his car nearing us by every second.

“Fuck!” Nicholas’s cursing brought my attention to him, “Why do we have to get stuck in a traffic jam right now?”

What was wrong with my luck? Why now of all time?

Draven’s car stopped just behind us and turning to look back at him I tried to search for him but the windows had been tinted so dark that nothing was visible of the inside of the car’s passengers.

“Do you think he would try to do something here? Among all these people?” Nicholas asked agitatedly tapping his fingers against the steering wheel while honking at the car in front of us with his other hand. I tried to think but before I could come to a conclusion he shook his head and continued, “Who am I kidding? Last month I saw him shoot a person as soon as he came out of his building. The gun had a silencer so it didn’t make any sound and his men were quick to take care of the body but it just shows that he doesn’t care about the place or the public at all. He has money and power to save his ass every time.”

I knew that Draven was supposed to be a Don of the Mafia but listening to this side of him made him seem unrealistic. The difference between my visions and reality was so drastic that it made me frown. I didn’t like it and yet I knew it was the truth, I had been witness of it all. His coldness and his hatred, this was all going to change only in the future. The present him was just as ruthless as the media and news showed him to be.

The realization of the truth and that I could be greeted with another one of his humiliations or hate was frightening and nerve wracking. My blood was trembling in my veins with every passing second that only hypes my anxiety through my body. I could tell that the presence of the big bad boss himself behind us had thrown Nicholas off the edge as well.

This wasn’t fair to him.

Why should he get dragged in my fight?

Therefore taking some deep breaths I unclasped my seatbelt and turning to Nicholas I said, “Thank you for helping me and being there for me. You were a true friend Nick but now I gotta clean the mess I made all on my own.”

Realizing that I was probably going to try something foolish Nicholas quickly turned to look at me and placing a hand on my arm he stopped me from making any movements as he said, “Don’t do anything stupid and just sit here.”

It looked like he was more worried about me than he let on and that actually made me feel guiltier and therefore shaking my head I said, “I swore to face Draven on my own and I am going to stick to my words.”

It felt kind of good to say that and moving to get out of the car I pull open the lock when suddenly I am yanked back by great force that made me stumble right into Nick’s arms. There he holds me tight to himself and in a serious tone he scolds me, “Don’t go finding ways to kill yourself on my expense! Just sit here quietly and we will figure this out, if something happens, together.”

The surprise of this sudden hug had made me numb for a few seconds, unable to react properly but pushing him away at once I looked at him and defiantly said, “I was the one who got you involved and I am sorry about it but believe me Nick. I will be fine. Let me deal with this and I will call you when I get back home, okay?”

He was polite and kind to me since the first time we met and even now I could see the fear he held in his eyes for me. It was unusual but I was thankful for it all and leaving him hanging with a hopeless expression I got out and stood among the honking cars for a few seconds.

Fuck!

I had been acting all brave in front of Nicholas but honesty I am scared to face Draven!

His glaring eyes are enough to make me pout and hide in a corner.

Steeling my nerves again but I took stiff steps towards his car all the while glaring at the heavily tinted windows to hopefully let him know that I was just as pissed as him.

How were we going to fall in love in the future if this continued?

Realizing that the driver seat was occupied by one of his bodyguards I moved to the window behind it and knocking on its glass I waited for him to lower it.

Ten seconds.

Thirty seconds.

There was no response.

What is wrong with him? Wasn’t he chasing after me? Then why is he not doing anything now?

Feeling agitated at the game he was playing with me I yanked open the door and to my surprise it was unlocked!

There sitting before me Draven Calix himself, looking sharp in a crimson suit. His handsome features were focused on a tab in his hand which he didn’t bother to take his eyes off even though I had been standing beside him.

What is the meaning of this?

“I knew you were money crazy but maybe I was wrong, it looks like you are simply a crazy person that’s all,” he muttered still not taking his jewel like eyes of the screen on which he was reading something.

Why was the whole world pegging me as a mental person?

“What the fuck do you want from me?” I asked embarrassed at the lack of attention he was showing me when I had in fact been thinking of the opposite, “Why did you send your people after me and why were you chasing me with your ve-”

Before I could complete that question I suddenly feel a large warm hand grip my wrist that I had been wringing in front of my body in anticipation and stress. The hand then yanked me inside the car closing the door behind me and the next thing I know I am straddling Draven’s lap.

Both of my hands are caged in his hold leaving me with no way to defend myself, yet I tried to get away from him when one of his hands came down to grip my thigh. The sensation making me still at once as I gasped and faced him properly.

The darkness swirling in his eyes were scary as he commanded, “Don’t move.”

It was two words and yet they worked like magic in binding me to my place. His hands snaked from my thigh to my waist where he pulled me closer to him and letting go of my hands he brought his to the back of my neck and in an instant he pulled me close enough to his body that if it weren’t for my hands I would have been stuck to his chest like glue.

His cologne was sensual and comforting. It filled my senses making me lose my mind for a few seconds when I felt his hot breathe fan my exposed neck and suddenly his grip tightened on my body.

“Which bloody bastard touched you?”

    “W-What?” I asked any more words refusing to leave my mouth as I tried to grab my senses. He looked angry for some reason as he beheld me in his stormy gaze. The grey in his eyes only seemed to dig more harshly into my soul at the response that I had shed on him.Grasping my hands again with one hand he brought the other one to my face and roughly took hold of my chin. I didn’t know why but for some reason it seemed as if he had been pissed at me, like I had made a grave mistake. He surveyed my face with a quarrying gaze and the anger made me gulp in anxiety as his searching scrutiny scorched my skin.A button pressing sound could be heard and looking out from the corner of my eye I could see that the divider between the driver and back seat had been raised to give him some privacy. From my position I could see that we had moved out of the jam and I wondered where he was taking me.“You have no sense of danger do you? You never learn,” he said, his words coming out quipped and heated.

    “I swear if you try something like that again I am going to strangle your neck with my own bloody hands!” Nicholas shouted through the other side of the phone making me wince and pull it away from my ear. I had been ignoring taking his calls since yesterday and I guess I had blown his whistle with the pent up frustration.But I just couldn’t bring myself to tell him about what happened yesterday. It was so embarrassing!“You know you sound more like a member of the Mafia than the Don himself,” I chuckled somehow feeling better to be talking about it even though I had feared doing so yesterday. I even worried Lisa with my behavior again.“Haha so funny,” he snarked at my words and chuckling at that I heard him sigh and then continue, “I know that you don’t want to tell me about yesterday so I am not going to ask but I find it really weird that you are still alive.”“Way to tell me that you wish me dead,” I snickered at his words knowing that he didn’t mean it but in reality I was just

    “A job as a florist? That’s doesn’t sound too bad.”No, you are wrong!“Yeah, I guess,” I mumbled trying to sound convincing to Lisa.“I will drop by later-” she had only started to say when I stopped her with a sudden cry that broke through me, “No!”“Oh wow, that was surprising but why?” She asked sounding suspicious and I cursed myself to have raised her concern. I couldn’t really show her this dress that had been barely reaching my mid-thigh and was paired with thigh high socks and a sexy garter belt combination. Lisa would probably blow her top!“That’s because I am not really good at arranging flowers yet and I want you to come visit me when I am perfect at it, then I will gift you a bouquet with all the flowers that you choose.” The lie slipped out of my mouth laced with sweetness and flattery. It shamed me to think that I had been resigning to this but I really had no other option.I was considering taking this job because its pay was better than any other that I had ever appl

    “You are a bad waitress.”Alfeo’s annoying voice snapped me out of my glare that I had been directing at Draven’s head. Looking back at Alfeo I said, “I didn’t even know that I would have to be one.”“As your instructor you are making me look bad, smile for the guests my belle,” he said taking hold of my hand that had been limply falling beside me. Jerking at his touch, not liking it even a single bit I glared at him to subtly tell him to let me go.The place had been too quaint and sophisticated to make a scene.“See that is not the expression that I want, smile for me,” he again adamantly said making me almost want to hit off that smile off his face, “Please.”As if that made things any better…But realizing that my only option was to give in I smiled and then repeated my question again, “What would you like to order, sir?”“See, I knew you could do it!” he cheered pulling me down by my hand as he kissed me cheek making me gasp and almost hit him when he pushed me back into my stan

    Looking around once more I noticed that Alfeo had been flirting with another server and therefore wasn’t looking at me. I had hoped to borrow his power to get out of this situation without making a scene but even if it meant that I have to I would do that.I wasn’t a person who would keep quiet with someone else doing any kind of injustice to me.Glaring at the man in front of me I grabbed his hand and before i could realize what I had been doing as if it had been muscle memory or more an act of defense but a small crack could be heard as I unconsciously twisted the politician’s hand to the side.I didn’t even know I had this much power to actually be able to do so.His hold at once became loose on my hand and letting him go I watched as he silently tried to tend to his wound that he couldn’t shout out about in fear of making himself look pathetic and less manly.“You are going to regret this,” he bit out his words, face still slightly red from the pain that he tried to bear the pain

    “Good job today too,” Diana’s voice bubbled in my ears as she came towards me. A smile blossomed on her face making me feel a little guilty.How could I possibly hate her when she was so nice to me?“Thank you, I have a lot of experience waitressing so this isn’t as hard, the only thing bothers me is that these people are all that I see behind a screen, facing them in reality leaves me a little star struck every time,” I said glancing at the last table that I had served of a famous actress.“Give it some time,” she said chuckling at my words but then taking on a bit of a serene expression she looked over at me and in earnest she spoke, “But I am glad you didn’t decide to quit that day. I was honestly worried; also I am sorry for not paying attention to you. It rarely happens that a customer misbehaves so I had been relaxed and Alfeo said he would take care of you, I shouldn’t have trusted him.”“At least we agree on that last point,” I jested trying to make her feel better about the s

    I had been quick enough to support my body with my hands before I crashed directly down into the ground. My arms ached but at least I had saved myself from banging my chin and cutting it up.Turning around with one of my feet still in his hold I kicked his face with the other making him lose his grip and groan at once. He had pissed me with this move that he had done and rounding his body I picked him up by his foot and dragging his body back a little I then sent him crashing into the giant metallic bin placed against the wall.The asphalt and dust grazed against his skin and left scratches along his unprotected membrane making him bleed through it while the cussing that elicited out of him told me that the crash had made his body hurt. At least the rattling sound had been loud enough to signify that.“Silia?”A voice calling my name snapped me out of my murderous daze. The relief I felt on seeing Diana’s worried gaze fall on me made me stagger back and sit down. I didn’t care that th

    “You have become really good at this,” Diana praised me as I presented the final bouquet I had made to her.I couldn’t help but beam at her compliments, feeling a sense of admiration at my own work, “Well, I had a good teacher.”My statement made Diana chuckle as she shook her head in denial but insisting at it I pressed, “No, you are really good; I didn’t know that you could do this. What you make,” I said pointing to the bouquet that was placed on top of the counter, “-is so beautiful that its making mine look shabby.”“Well this is a florist shop after all,” she said spreading her hands around to signify the presence of an array of beautiful flowers and plants that I had slowly been learning about for the past month. Taking away her twinkling eyes then she took hold of my hands, placing my bouquet aside and cloudiness fogged over the sweet excitement from before in her orbs.Caressing my band aid covered hand, a result to dealing with thorns from the flowers, she gently touched the

It's time!” Diana said hastily coming to me when she found me in the washroom of my suite.Her words only made me panic more and shaking my head I said, “No, Diana I don’t think I can do this. I don’t think I can go out there like this.”My words must have not sat well with her because she donned a softer expression and with a hand patting my back gently for me she pulled me into a hug.“Come on, tell me what is it? What is troubling you and I swear that I will make it alright,” she said and although her hug made me feel good it also reminded me of why I wanted to run away from my own wedding.“This! See this is the problem! I can’t even hug you properly without this belly getting in my way,” I said pointing at the small bump that kept us apart from hugging properly.She seemed to realize what I had been going through and smiling at me she asked, “What are you afraid o

    *SILIA*“I don’t think that Romani would actually set this grand of an event,” Diana muttered from beside me. It has been a week since we came back home and the cold mafia woman who we thought was injured was stronger than anyone we knew and had been completely fine even after that blast. Apparently she became unconscious because of exhaustion and nothing else.“According to him he is creating history and he wants the whole world to remember him and this day properly for centuries to come,” I murmured, spotting him introducing Draven to everyone around while laughing heartily. No one would say that he was sick seeing how well and about he was moving around.“He certainly chose a very strange reason to be remembered in history, ‘The man who gave away his business empire to a Mafia Don’,” Alfeo laughed, chiming in on our conversation.“Do you even know how terrified the public and media is over this? I heard the president is on his toes with this change,” Nick said, sipping a glass of c

    *SILIA*“Yes! Fuck we did it!” Alfeo shouted enveloping Draven in a hug which I joined along with the others.We were probably making a lot of ruckus pulling, pushing and rejoicing, unable to believe what had happened.We won!We actually won!A clearing of a throat grabbed our attention as Samantha said, “Mr. Romani is waiting for you.”Calming down at her words Draven pulled away from us, smiling at the hoots and laughter. Looking at me he kissed me once and said, “Thank you, this wouldn’t have been possible without you.”I simply smiled at him and then turned back to the rest as he said, “Make sure that all the injured get treated and rested well. We are flying back today itself and celebrating this victory!”“Alright we’ll arrange everything you just go and meet him,” Gavin said and nodding along as I turned to leave with the others when suddenly I was stopped.“Miss Morgan, Mr. Romani wants to meet you too,” Samantha said, making everyone stop in their movements as they all looke

    *SILIA*I couldn’t grasp the sense of reality. I had killed the one person that had previously meant the world to me. I had thought that I hated her a lot but even now when she had said that she hated me I couldn’t help but feel hurt. I didn’t want her to hate me. I had wanted things to have never gone the way that they had.I never wanted to lose her.“Shh, it’s alright you did what you had to,” Draven said and slowly walked towards me. I could see the pity in his eyes and I am sure I looked like a mess but his eyes didn’t stray to anywhere else but my eyes. His gray ones pierced straight into mine, reminding me of the peaceful shine of a breezy moonlit night.Reaching me he first gripped my hand over the fork and prying away my hand carefully from the weapon of murder he took hold of my violently shaking hands that couldn’t control the tension now that they weren’t holding onto the wood for dear life. Throwing away the fork to a safe distance away he immediately pulled me into a hu

    *SILIA*“You might have reached till here but I cannot let you go any further than this,” Lisa said, it felt as if it had been days since I had seen her and I wouldn’t have minded it being a little longer or until I died for me to face her again.I still can’t believe she had left me alone there with Luca to suffer, it was worse than simply killing me. She wanted me to ‘suffer’, to prolong my misery.“You really think you can stop us?” I asked, challenging her, feeling my insides burn with hatred.She ignored me and looking at Draven she said, “If you still care about your people’s life then you would back away while I am giving you the chance to. You will lose the game but will return back alive.”Wasn’t she being a little too cocky?If Nick had been enough to take her down alone then the twelve people we had brought with us were definitely a lot stronger.“And lose the opportunity to kill the person who has been the sole reason for all our sufferings? No, thank you,” Draven said wit

    *SILIA*“Hey! Hey who are you people! Get off my farm!”A man came shouting at us like a lunatic when we stopped our cars in front of his house.Getting out of the car Alfeo approached the man and introducing himself he said, “We just need a little assistance from you. We need to check something in your barn. Can we please do that?”“No absolutely not!” The old and hot headed man shouted at us, “You think I'll just let you jackasses get into my property just like that. Absolutely not mister.”“We will be happy to pay you a good amount of money for that. If you would just let us in then this briefcase full of money will be yours,” He said, showing him a briefcase that had been brimming full with money. By the way this farm and house looked, he really needed that for repair works and maybe to even live life in general.He stopped and hesitated for a minute when suddenly the door to his house opened and through it came an old lady, probably his wife.“Al? Who are these people?” she aske

    *SILIA*“Yes! She was right about it,” Gavin shouted barging in through the door with Nick trailing behind him. The two of them looked really spent and when I was about to ask Nick what happened but he put up a hand before me to stop me from speaking.“My eyes have been fried from staring at a screen for around thirty six hours now and I fear that if I even blink it shut it isn’t going to open anymore,” he said and then mumbled under his breath, “That's why I hate Mafias.”“So what did you find?” Draven asked and the rest of us huddled closer to his laptop that he had brought with him.“So far we have learnt about a small vineyard that is very exclusive and is situated on the island called Martha’s Vineyard. It is registered under another woman’s name so it was hard for us to track it down but we finally did. The label vine that it makes there is called, ‘Dives Uvae’ which also means rich grapes in Latin.”“A silly name if you ask me,” Alfeo muttered in between to which Diana laughed

    *SILIA*“Only ten days are left,” Gavin said, making all of us sigh in frustration.“That's too little time and we still don’t have any clue about where Romani might be,” Nick mumbled, having joined the Mafia unable to stay away from this life after getting so deep into it once again.“No we don’t give up hope here, we can still turn the situation around, we just need to think from another perspective,” Diana said, making me nod along but if truth be said even I was losing confidence with how little time we had left.“If it makes anyone feel good then at least the Ravens aren’t in any position to even care about this game when they are already so deep in their own troubles,” Alfeo said, making me nod along.“Not to forget that the Phantoms don’t seem to have any clue about Romani too, although they have become more frantic in their searches,” I said, frowning near the end.No matter what anybody said or did it was clear that we were all on the edge with how close we were to winning an

    *SILIA*“What was that just now?” Draven asked, looking slightly dazed as we took the elevator up to his office.“Just a little mental torture,” I said smiling at him. “He hadn’t hurt me physically as much as he did mentally every time that he touched me or tried to brainwash me into loving him.”I didn’t realize but a frown had taken over on its own and seeing that Draven said, “Let me overwrite that memory.”Pushing me against the cold walls of the elevator he kissed me. I fought for control, my body turning hot at his touch. After staying away from him for so long it was as if every time that he touched me he was quenching a thirst in my body.Our tongues slid against each other, gently caressing, massaging and sucking. I wanted to take control again like how I did before but as soon as he realized what I was doing he brought his hand down to my thigh and gripped it, making me gasp at how close he was to my crotch. He then pushed a knee gently against my excited entrance, leaving i
