ELVIRAI let out a deep sigh and spun my heels, walking back to my bed.Deep down, I am broken, shattered, and confused.Just then, I hear footsteps approaching me and look up to meet Demetrius's gaze. He has an unfathomable expression that makes me furrow my brows with confusion.“Little wife..." he snarls as he leans in to meet my height while I sit on the bed. “Sometimes, don't just jump into conclusions," he snarls and I roll my eyes.I feel the urge to push him away, but I try so hard not to, fighting off my subconscious mind.“So I'm jumping to conclusions?” I ask, scoffing. "You are saying that I'm jumping to conclusions when the truth is right in front of my eyes, what do you think, Demetrius? Am I a fool?”"Your words, dear, not mine because I didn't say that,” he replies as he straightens up, deepening his hands in his pocket.I roll my eyes, averting my gaze from him.“Please just go away," I say, my voice barely above a whisper."Alright then,” he sighs before he spins his
ELVIRAAfter the call has ended, I clutch onto my phone tightly once again, my breathing is loud and raspy.I am very terrified, my whole body is shaking, my heart is beating rapidly in my chest, and I hold my breath; I do not know what is going to happen next.“Oh God, please save me," I mumble a prayer under my breath as my eyes scan around my room. I am shaken to the core with fear of the unknown. I am rooted to the bed, not even daring to move an inch.I just wish Demetrius would appear in my room within a twinkle of an eye. Suddenly, I hear that same sound again, and this time around, I cannot hold in my fear anymore and let out a very loud, ear-splitting scream.I am not going to sit there and do nothing, so I stand up from the bed and sprint towards the door. At this point, I do not care about anything but only my safety.Just as my hands land on the doorknob, the door opens and Demetrius walks in. The both of us collide into each other, and the impact causes me to lose my bala
ELVIRAHe furrows his brows, a hint of confusion and amusement in his eyes.I study his expression, he seems a little displeased.“Uh..uhmm..if..if..if you don't agree, I don't mind staying back in my room, I don't want to force you to do what you don't want to," I explain.“I don't want to, you would stay in your room," Demetrius says, a sly smirk dancing on his thin lips.I widen my eyes with shock and surprise; I did not expect him to talk in this manner! But the truth is that I cannot stay alone in my room tonight!“No! No, please, I'm not going to stay in my room tonight!" I protest, burying my head in his chest as my grip on his shirt tightens. “Don't do this to me, please! I beg of you!!"I can hear Demetrius let out a deep, sexy, throaty chuckle and look up to meet his gaze. I knot my brows; is he laughing at me?“You don't have to make fun of me if you don't want to agree, you know?” I say, annoyance dripping in my voice.After laughing to his satisfaction, he finally speaks
ELVIRA“What's wrong?" He asks, a sly smirk dancing on his thin lips. “Aren't you mine?”I gulp down saliva and avert my gaze from his; I can feel a strange sensation spread across my body.“Right?" He asks again as he leans in close to me, nibbling on my ear. The feeling of his lips on my skin sends shivers down my spine.I roll my eyes and avoid answering his question; suddenly, he lifts up my chin with his hands, making me stare into his eyes.“I already know the answer, little wife, no need to answer," he winks, and much to my surprise, his lips crash onto mine, kissing me briefly. I can feel my whole being on fire as a wave of pleasure washes over me.I close my eyes, enjoying every moment of the kiss when suddenly, Hendrix's voice interrupts.“Aww...true love, I'm so jealous!" Hendrix says with a goofy smile as he stares at me and Demetrius.I break away from the kiss, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. Why is Demetrius suddenly behaving all lovey-dovey with me? Could he…no,
"I.. I'm not delusional, Hendrix," I say again, shaking my head."I know you are not delusional, sister-in-law,” Hendrix says, nodding slightly. "I'm glad you are okay.”"Thanks,” I nod."Umm..sister-in-law,” Hendrix calls with a pout. "Are you still mad at me?”I roll my eyes and purse my lips. I am not the type to stay angry at someone for a long time, so my anger towards him has subsided."Of course,” I reply. It is a lie, but I just want to tease him a little. "Don't think I would forgive you that easily, Hendrix."“But..but sister-in-law, I've already apologized countless times. I am truly sorry!" He says again, his voice cracking as though he wants to cry. Hendrix is a talented drama king, so trust him to do such a thing. I am not falling for his trick this time.“I am not going to forgive you that fast, Hendrix," I snicker. “You insulted me, remember? You told me things I never expected could come out of your mouth."“I didn't mean to say those words, sister-in-law," he pouts.
ELVIRA"I don't know if I'm right but I can't help but feel that Alejandro is stalking me,” I reply."Stalking you?” Demetrius repeats, his brows creased into a frown. "Not on my watch, he can never!”My lips curve into a smile the moment those words leave his lips; it means so much to me knowing that Demetrius cares about me."Thank you so much," I smile, biting down on my lips to suppress the blush that threatens to redden my cheeks.“Mhmm..." he nods before spinning his heels as he walks towards the bathroom door.“Just stay in the room; I will join you very soon," he says as he starts walking towards the door.I nod, gulping down saliva really hard as my eyes scan the room, giving off a creepy vibe that sends chills down my spine.With each passing moment, it feels as though I can feel piercing eyes on me; I don't know how long I can stay all alone in this room.Although Demetrius is in the bathroom, it feels as though I am all alone.I look to the right side of the room, just bes
ELVIRA"You like what you see, huh?" Demetrius snarls, the corners of his lips curving into a mischievous smirk. I immediately lower my gaze, burying my face in my palm. My cheeks are flushed terribly, I had been staring so hard at his... his crotch! Suddenly, I feel his hot breath on my skin as he lifts his hand and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ears. "Right?" I hear him ask again, his lips just close to my ears as he whispers softly, his voice dripping with mock seduction. "No!" I reply, still burying my head in my palm, I am too ashamed to look at him. "Come on little wife, you can't deny the fact that you liked what you saw, can you?" He asks again, his voice low and dangerously seductive. I shake my head with disapproval once again, "No!" I reply, adamant to accept that I actually liked what I had seen. Liking it was a strong word, I was just surprised and confused at the same time! He is so huge down there and there is no way he could claim he has a phobia for women
ELVIRA"Do you realize it is impossible to break into my room?" He suddenly asks.My eyes widen with confusion at this realization. There is only one explanation to this, I am delusional."Oh my God," I groan as I crouch down on the ground, my back leaning against the door as I pinch the skin between my brows.I am now seeing unreal things and imagining crazy scenarios which feel so real! It is official, I am crazy.I let out a deep sigh as I place my hands on my knees and bury my face in my palms.“Hey, come on," Demetrius's deep voice suddenly rings out, breaking the silence that envelops the room.“Don't blame yourself or push yourself too hard, Elvira," he says. "You have been through a lot and you need to give yourself a break, okay?”I look up to meet his gaze, pursing my lips into a sad pout."No, you don't understand," I cry. "I…I'm going mad! I'm delusional!"He lets out a deep chuckle, shaking his head with amusement.“I didn't know my stubborn little wife can be intimidated
ELVIRAThe notification that popped up on my phone made me feel broken and helpless.“Oh my God," I cry as I bury my face in my palm and literally cry my eyes out. I was not expecting this kind of news when I was in a happy mood with Demetrius.“What happened, Elvira?" Demetrius asks, but gets no response from me. I am too broken to reply to anyone.“I said, what happened?!" He asks again, this time his tone heightened above normal.He then stands up from where he was seated and crouches down to my height.“What is wrong?" He asks, his tone surprisingly soft.I look up to meet his gentle gaze with my teary eyes; I try to say something, but only more wails and sniffles come out of my mouth.I look down at my phone and then at Demetrius, and almost immediately, he grabs my phone and looks at the content that had upset me earlier.“What?" He mutters as he furrows his brows in confusion. "A birthday invitation?" He asks.I look up at him with tear-filled eyes and shake my head. It is not
ELVIRA"Oh my God," I mutter as I sit down. My mind is racing with endless thoughts that are not the answer to my question.I take a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. "Calm down, Elvira, calm down," I close my eyes and mutter to myself and after some seconds, I begin to calm down.But suddenly, just as I calm down, I suddenly hear footsteps in the office and immediately, my eyes fly open with shock and fear.Standing in front of me is the almighty Demetrius, he looks at me with a slight frown on his face.I swallow hard and wriggle my butt on the chair with nervousness, is he mad to see me?!"What are you doing here?" His cold, deep voice suddenly rings out as he walks towards his seat."I..I..he.." I stutter, not knowing how to answer his question. At this point, I have lost my voice and I don't know what to say. I am not thinking straight right now, I am too scared to speak."Calm down now, Elvira," he says as he starts without sparing me a glance as he starts operating
ELVIRA"Bake him a pie and he is all mine?!" I replay in my head. "Hendrix, are you serious right now?" I ask."Trust me, sister-in-law," he says with a serious tone. "I'm not trying to pull your leg right now; I want to help you, so I'm being very serious.""Jesus!" I exclaim, much to my surprise, knowing his knees is like a huge relief to me. At least I know now Demetrius is a human being."Now, let's get baking, shall we?" Hendrix squeals, and I nod, excited to get this done.We then get baking seriously, our hands moving faster than our brains."We need to hurry, put in your best, sister-in-law," Hendrix says. "Bake it with love, okay?"I sneer; Hendrix is a clown. "I know," I laugh."Bake it with your heart! Your blood, your sweat! Your tears!" He says again with a dramatic tone."Yeah, I know…" I laugh. "I'm also going to add my period blood to the pie too, right?""That sounds like a brilliant idea, sister-in-law," he exclaims. "Now you are a genius!""I know," I smile.After a
ELVIRA"Tell me, Hendrix, what did she do to him?!” I ask.“She… she..." Hendrix tries to say, but he pauses and shakes his head as he averts his gaze.“She did what?!" I ask as I shake him on the arm, my inquisitive side starting to kick in.“It's… it's a long story, sister-in-law,” Hendrix sighs. "But trust me when I say this, very soon you will find out about everything, and you won't be kept in the dark again.”I purse my lips into a sad pout, although I am not satisfied with Hendrix's answer, it gives me a little hope of finding out the truth someday, even if it is not now."Alright,” I nod. "But, what are we going to do about my giant crush on Demetrius?!” I ask, my frustration piquing.Hendrix winks at me with a teasing smile. "Tell me, sister-in-law, is it a giant crush, or do you really love him?” He asks. “Which is it?"“I...I... it..." I stutter, feeling shy and embarrassed. I can feel butterflies flutter in my stomach as I think about Demetrius, which makes me kind of exci
ELVIRA“It's… it's about Demetrius,” I finally reply, and this time as I exhale deeply, I want to calm down my racing heart before saying anything.“About Demetrius?” Hendrix repeats as he furrows his brows with confusion. He suddenly becomes interested in what I am saying and shifts close to me, raising a concerned brow.“What about him, sister-in-law?" He asks with interest and worry. “What did that bastard do this time around?" he asks, gritting his teeth in anger as his fists form into a ball, as though he is out to knock all of Demetrius's teeth out.His actions are funny, and I let out a chuckle, shaking my head with amusement. Although I know he is trying to help, he is being funny.“Hey… hey…” I laugh, shaking my head with amusement. "Hold on, big tiger, Demetrius didn't hurt me," I explain.“He didn't?" He asks as his face flushes with embarrassment. “Oh..." he mutters as he bursts out laughing. “I thought he did something bad to you. I was literally ready to burst open his t
ELVIRA“Tsk…” I click my tongue as the urge to smack him on the head grows within me, but I hold back."Don't let me smack your damn sense out, Hendrix!” I warn."Hey... hey..." he laughs, shaking his head with amusement.“Sister-in-law, don't you think I deserve to know, even if it's just a little bit?" He asks."I've been a good boy lately, sorry you think?” He asks with a wink.I shake my head disapprovingly. "No, you haven't,” I reply. "You are an annoying leech who won't let me be! Ugh!”"I love you too, sister-in-law,” he pouts, and I smack him on his head.“Stop being goofy,” I roll my eyes."Tell me, please," he purses his lips into a pout. “Did you and Demetrius… you know… yesterday night?” he winks.I understand what he meant; Demetrius was so crazy!“Of course not!” I roll my eyes. "Nothing happened between Demetrius and me yesterday. Trust me,” I huff, folding my arms across my chest.“Oh…” he says with a sad pout. "That's so sad.”"Yeah, so leave me alone!" I warn.“Nah…
ELVIRA“I am glad you are okay," Hendrix says as he gives out a light smile. I furrow my brows with confusion. Why is he sounding so cocky?“Okay…” I reply. "Me too.” "I am very happy you are getting along with Damien; I can see some changes in him, ones I haven't seen for a long time now," he says again, and I smile. “How do you mean?” I ask. "Well… I can see some changes in him. He is starting to loosen up to you, and he is no longer that grumpy and bitter all the time," he explains as both of us walk towards the chair and sit down. "Wow…" I mutter. “That... that is a lot." “No, no," he shakes his head. “I'm being very honest here, sister-in-law," Hendrix says. “I'm being very serious. You are doing a good job, and whatever you are doing, I advise you to keep it up." My cheeks flush at his words as a blush creeps up on my face; Hendrix sure knows how to say nice things. "Thank you,” I reply with a genuine smile. “But honestly, I'm not really doing much." “You are, sister-in
ELVIRAI remain in that position for what feels like an eternity, thinking about literally everything after I have composed my emotions. I drag myself up, although I am reluctant to start my day's activity.I sigh deeply as I walk towards the bathroom to have my bath and probably wash away my sorrows. After about thirty minutes, I finish taking my bath and preparing myself for the day.I then drag myself down to the dining hall to have my breakfast because my stomach is already grumbling with hunger.I walk down the hallway straight to the dining room, and once my feet step inside, I am met with two men's faces; one has his usual poker face on, and one has a jovial smile plastered on his face.“Sister-in-law!" Hendrix calls with a jovial smile as he signals for me to come over.“Good morning," I greet as I flash a brief smile before taking my seat near Demetrius. I tilt my head to meet Demetrius's gaze. “Good morning," I greet, and he nods slightly before shifting his gaze back to his
ELVIRAI flutter my eyes open, hoping to see the bright rays of the sun, but instead, I am greeted with darkness.I yawn and try to get up, but suddenly, I feel something heavy on me. Instantly, I become alarmed and want to scream out with fear – where am I and what the hell is on top of me?Slowly, I peek down to meet a sleepy Demetrius; his hand is snaked around my waist, making it impossible for me to break free from his grip.I widen my eyes with surprise as I feel my heart flutter. This is the first time I have ever seen Demetrius sleep! And he looks so cute! I just feel like snuggling him and planting kisses on his face!A subconscious smile spreads across my face, my gaze not leaving his sleeping face. His eyelashes are so cute as they are closed, and his slightly opened mouth as he sleeps just seems to enhance his cuteness! He looks so cute while asleep, and it is impossible to believe that this is the same ruthless man when awake. This man is just so perfect in whatever he is
