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
ELVIRAAfter I tell Demetrius what I feel he needs to hear, I spin my heels and am about to leave his room when suddenly, his cold voice rings out, stopping me in my tracks." Hold on."Slowly, I turn and meet his gaze as I furrow my brows with confusion.“ Sir?" I reply questioningly“ Come over here," he orders, signaling for me to come with his index finger.Subconsciously, I look around to make sure he is really talking to me before I drag my feet and slowly approach him.“ Little wife," he purrs as he holds my waist and pulls me in close to him, my exposed breast colliding with his naked, rock hard sexy biceps.“ You cry a lot, just like a little baby," he says, his voice deep and seductive as he raises his hands and wipes a tear stain on my cheeks with his finger.He looks at me for what feels like an eternity, his eyes searching my face. I can feel goosebumps on my skin as my hairs rise, all responding to Demetrius's gaze.“ You are stressed, I know what would calm you down," h
ELVIRADemetrius is saying strange things that I cannot understand why he is saying those.I knot my brows as I speak up. “Demetrius,” I call, my voice barely above a whisper but I know he can hear me.“Why are you saying all these things?” I ask with a confused expression but I still lay on his chest.“Elvira…” he calls, his voice low and gruff. “Don't think I'm so heartless,” he adds, making me furrow my brows with confusion.“What?” I stutter as I try to lift my head and watch him but he holds me down, not allowing me to lift my head and stare into his face.“Demetrius,” I stutter as I try resisting but his grip on my head is strong that I have no other choice but to give in and helplessly lay back on his chest.“Why do you say such words, Demetrius?” I ask, nearly crying as his words ring in my ears.“I don't know,” he replies. “But what I know is this, I want you to close your eyes and let nature take its place.”I understand what he means but, how the hell am I supposed to drift
ELVIRALast night, Demetrius really said weird things but surprisingly, I loved every bit of words that came out of his mouth, it made me feel wanted, a sense of belonging.After I am done taking my bath, I get up from the bathtub and walk out before drying my body with a towel and tying it around my body. After that, I proceed to walk into my walk-in closet and start rummaging through my wardrobe to look for a suitable cloth for the day.In less than thirty minutes, I am done and ready for the day. A huge smile spreads across my face as I stare at my reflection in the mirror. Just then, my mind drifts off to yesterday, the Elvira standing in the mirror now and the Elvira last night were totally different. Last night's Elvira looked fiery and screamed with seduction but this Elvira looks gentle and cute.I flash another smile and suddenly, I hear a low grumble coming from my stomach.“Oops," I giggle, clutching my tummy. “Someone must be hungry."Sighing, I spin my heels and exit my r
ELVIRAWas I falling for Demetrius? “No, no," I shake my head, it cannot be. Our deal was not to fall in love and falling in love with Demetrius is a risky game because it will be one-sided.I shake my head, tryings to get rid of the ridiculous thought as I try to focus on the ladies in my room."Let's get started on your hair and makeup," the stylist says, her excitement obvious in her voice. "We'll keep it simple and beautiful, just like you."I sit still as the stylist works her magic, applying light makeup that enhances my natural beauty. My hair is styled in a sleek, elegant bun, decorated with pearls and other jewels. I feel beautiful, like a queen."Now for the dress," the stylist says, leading me to a rack of beautiful gowns. "I promise you, once you're dressed, Master Demetrius won't be able to take his eyes off you.”I flash her a satisfied smile. I am under really beautiful and I can't help but imagine the kind of dress I would wear.The stylist pulls out a beautiful satin
ELVIRA"Um...are...are you perhaps in the mafia?" I ask, with curiosity filling my tone. But he doesn't answer. Demetrius only huffs and turns his eyes back to the steering wheel. His shoulders fold tensely as his jaws clench, and his fingers tighten on the round frame. He looks disturbed and slightly uneasy and it frightens me because I have hardly ever seen him that way.Demetrius never shows any emotion, and uneasiness and fear are no exceptions. Yet somehow he now breaks his own rules. As his head turns sideways at intervals looking out the window on his side for no particular reason. His eyes roll over the trees that line the streets and the old buildings across the alleyways painted with graffiti. All sights and landmarks he usually never pays any attention to?...I look at him with my face expressing my worry. My palms sweaty and my heartbeat erratic. I never knew seeing him afraid could make me this afraid too. My eyes see his worry making me worried. It feels like our feeling
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
