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
ELVIRAAfter what feels like an eternity, he finally breaks from the kiss and stares down at me with a sly smirk dancing on his lips.“I enjoyed it too," he says with a sly wink.My cheeks blush terribly at his words. I want to smack my head with embarrassment. Why the hell is my body reacting to him in this manner?! Why am I acting as though I am a sixteen-year-old who just got her first kiss?!I roll my eyes and avert my gaze. “Please leave me alone," I say with a pout as I try to walk out of the door, but he holds me back and yanks me close to him, my face almost colliding with his hard chest.“Don't feel embarrassed, little wife, I know you enjoyed it too," he winks at me. “You are my wife, and you don't have to react in this manner."I roll my eyes and scoff at his words. “Your wife, huh?" I furrow my brows. “You always remind me that I'm your contracted bride and I am not worthy of your love, so why the sudden change?" I ask with a low sneer. “I would like to know, dear Demetriu
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
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
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
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“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"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
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.
