ELVIRA"Hendrix I can see you have nothing reasonable to say," I say as I try to keep my tone flat and stern. "Bye, I'm ending the call now.""Hey…hey, sister in-law!" Hendrix calls. "Alright, I am sorry, don't end the call!"I sigh, Hendrix is such a pain in the ass! "What is it?" I ask with an eye roll."Umm…umm..if..if you need my help just call me, okay?" He asks."Alright sir," I reply, chuckling. Hendrix is a good person, already willing to help."Alright, bye now," he chuckles. "You can end the call.""Bye, I hope to see you when you return and have fun there!" I say."Oh..I will," he replies before I end the call."Hendrix," I mutter, shaking my head with amusement, he is easy goofy and jovial.I then shift my attention back to why I walked into my closet in the first place. I stare at my clothes in my closet. I have nice clothes, no doubt, but they just look too serious or too cute and none give off that seduction aura.I sigh tiredly as I start bringing out my clothes one af
ELVIRA"Make sure Darko accompanies you to the mall," he finally says.My eyes widen with surprise. I can't believe my ears! Demetrius has agreed for me to go to the mall!I squeal with excitement, “Thank you so much, sir!” I say happily, grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat.“Alright,” he says casually.“Bye, sir!” With that, I end the call and release the breath I didn't realize I was holding.“Now, I just need someone to accompany me to the mall. But who would that be?” I think out loud as I stroke my chin. Hendrix, my partner in crime, has traveled, so I need to find another person.I don't like going shopping at the mall alone. I used to go to the mall with my mother and we always had a lot of fun.Just then, I have an idea. I could call my best friend, Cassie! Without any delay, I dial Cassie's number. I know she would pick up immediately and just as I had predicted, she picks up the call in less than a second of ringing.“Hello, baby!” She says at the other end of the c
ELVIRA“ Cassie!” I call, unable to believe her crazy words. “ Stop being so ridiculous!” “ i was just saying how I feel, duh?” She says as she rolls her eyes. She then brings out a pack of gum, tears one open and starts munching on it. “ Here, have this,” she says as she outstretches her hand, giving me one of her gums. “ Did I say I want to masticate like an animal like you?” I ask teasing but Cassie is not having it. “ Here, take this now!” She sneers an order and I sigh, taking it from her hand. Cassie is a hard piece of nut to crack. “ Thanks,” I say as I tear open the gum and start masticating on it like her. “ How bestie, I hope you are with hubby's wallet?” She asks as she brings out thick, black glasses from her purse. “ Why?” I ask as I hold back the laughter that is threatening to escape my throat. She glances at me for a moment before shifting her gaze back to her glasses. “ Because…” she purrs, picking her words as though she is a slay queen. “ Because…we are gonna
ELVIRAMy eyes widen with shock and fear, how the hell does he know my name?!"Who…who are you a..nd h..how the hell do..do you know my name?" I manage to ask as I try to steady my shaky voice so that I would not sound scared but, it's a futile attempt because anyone could tell I was scared. This is a store meant for women alone, I cannot understand what he is doing here.The smirk on his face is replaced with a full smile, he dips his hands in his pocket as he takes down strides towards me."Stay away," I say as I step backwards.He meets my gaze and stops on his tracks."Let's say, I am your husband's Ally," he speaks up. "I attended your wedding and I came to say hi. I didn't mean to make you scared."I swallow hard, his lips are saying one thing and his aura and face are saying another. He has this creepy aura that makes me uncomfortable although he has just said he attended my wedding but it is still so hard to believe him.Much to my horror, he starts taking slow strides towards
ELVIRA"Oh my God!" I gasp as my eyes dart around the bathroom. Was I just hallucinating?Feeling dread overwhelm me, I stand up from the bathtub and walk out, drying my body immediately with a towel.I don't hesitate to rush out of the bathroom once I'm done; that mysterious man I had seen back at the mall had made me really scared."Who the hell is that man?" I ask myself as I rummage through my wardrobe, looking for something better to put on. I can feel a knot forming in the pit of my stomach as my hand trembles with nervousness.Fortunately, I find a suitable cloth and immediately put it on before combing my hair and rushing out of my room.Whenever I'm afraid of something, I don't like staying alone in the room because it feels like I'm being watched.I head to the main garden because it's the only place that can make me feel at peace.*SEVEN O'CLOCK**Hours pass, and I don't even realize the time for Demetrius to be back is almost reaching.I check my phone and see it's a few m
ELVIRAI widen my eyes with surprise and shock. Instantly, I feel panic rising up within me as I get up on my feet and run around my room, unsure of what to do.I feel so nervous that I literally forget everything I had planned.“Uh.. uhmm…hold on for a minute please,” I say, my voice cracking."Get yourself in order, Elvira!" I scold myself as I finally stand at a place.I take a deep breath and steady myself, letting the calm wash over me. I close my eyes and slowly recall everything I had memorized. My heart is still racing, but I am starting to feel more like myself again.With a sly grin on my face, I stand up straight and turn my back to the door, striking a seductive pose.“Let the fun begin," I mutter to myself.I clear my throat and speak in a low, sultry voice. "Come in," I say. My pulse quickens as I hear the door open.I hear the door open behind me.I wait for some seconds to let him get a nice view before I slowly turn around to see Demetrius standing there, looking more
ELVIRA"Yes, undress," I say, flashing him a smile. "Or...don't you want to?" I ask teasingly as I trace my fingers along his well-sculpted chin."And why should I?" He asks as he snakes his arms around my waist and draws me in, my breasts colliding with his rock-hard chest. Even through the fabric of his chest, I can still feel how hard and sexy they are."You have to," I mutter, trying to ignore the feeling that runs over my body. His hot breath fans across my face and my breath hitches, I can feel my body grow hot and tense from the impact of his alluring facial features and all. I could feel a jolt of excitement. I try to ignore the goosebumps spreading over my skin as his breath tickles my cheek. It's hard to think straight with him so close to me. He's too skilled at seduction, and I'm losing control but I fight hard as I hold onto the last string of my sanity.I take a deep breath, trying to regain my composure. "Let's try that again," I say with a laugh. "This time, I'll keep
ELVIRADemetrius stops me from unbuckling his belt, what could be the matter?! Did I do something wrong?!I knot my brows with confusion. "De…Demetrius, is there any problem?" I ask.“Don't go down there," he says again, picking his words with a sneer.“But..but Demetrius…” I say as I try to unbuckle it again but he holds my hands again, his grip tightening."Ouch,” I moan with pain as I struggle to free my hands but he doesn't release his strong grip."Stop…stop hurting me, Demetrius," I cry as I struggle to break free from his grip.His expression remains dark and unchanging. He looks different and scary from the Demetrius that just walked into my room some minutes ago.Suddenly, he flickers his eyes and blinks multiple times. He seems to have regained himself.“I.. I'm sorry," he stutters for the first time ever! What the hell is going on with Demetrius?! I cannot understand anything. He looks confused and surprised.“Fuck!" I can hear him curse under his breath through gritted tee
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
