ELVIRA

"Okay..okay!” I said, panicking. "Let's go, I'm sorry for bringing you here in the first place!”

With that, I spin my heels and started walking out of the hall with Demetrius following behind me.

Deep down, I am broken, how could Demetrius just act like that?! I thought he was free with me a while ago, then what brought about the sudden change of mood?!

Quietly, the both of us headed back to the car, I didn't say anything to him and he didn't say anything to me either.

Demetrius is just a very difficult man! He is so hard to read and understand!

Ugh! I feel like dragging my hair out of frustration!

As we approached the car, he pressed his key and it automatically opened the car.

“Enter," Demetrius ordered and almost immediately, I obeyed just like a loyal dog.

The drive back to the mansion is very quiet and the air in the car is suffocating.

My heart is broken and heavy, I couldn't even say anything and also, I am scared of Demetrius reacting rashly if I did anything. Why does

    ELVIRAThe room is really dark and scary, but my inquisitive mind doesn't mind. Slowly, I walk into the room fully and carefully shut the door behind me.“ Oh my God," I mutter, the room is so dark and scary! It even seems as though I can hear some movements and growls coming from inside.“ Is Demetrius perhaps harboring ghosts or demons?" I ask myself.For what feels like an eternity, I stand near the door, not making any movements. I am at the same time, scared and cautious.After I make sure the room is clear, I slowly reach out and turn on the flashlight on my phone.With the help of my flash light, I am able to see some things.Slowly, I walk up to the place where the candles are kept, pick up the lighter and am about to turn on the candle but just then, I stop my tracks.Demetrius is a sly and intelligent man, if I turn on the candle he will know someone is snooping around in his room and I will definitely get punished. So, I immediately drop back the lighter and start looking a

    ELVIRA"Hendrix!" I yell almost immediately he picks the call up. "You..you are not going to believe what I saw just now!""Sister-in-law, what is it?" Hendrix asks over the phone."Just..just come to the mansion immediately, okay?" I say."Alright," Hendrix says before I end the call.After I end the call, I immediately sprint back to my room, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I cannot believe what I just saw!Who the hell is Katherine Diaz and what is her connection with Demetrius?“Could she be Demetrius's…”I think. I pause, thinking of the possibilities. Demetrius doesn't seem like one to fall in love or engage in romantic activities but also, he might have developed a phobia for women after his last romantic experience. “No, no," I say, shaking my head. It cannot be, maybe I am just overthinking the whole issue.“Elvira calm down" I mutter to myself as I continue to pace around the room, what I have just discovered is a huge shock to me, I can hardly believe it!At this momen

    ELVIRA"Well... Demetrius did used to say that," he finally replies, making me widen my eyes in shock." I knew it!” I exclaim, snapping my fingers in deep thoughts. That means the ring is connected or rather, belongs to Demetrius, it is not just a coincidence! " But I just felt like saying that at the moment,” Hendrix chips in with a casual shrug but I am deep in thoughts to reply. “ Sister in-law," he calls but gets no response from me. “ Sister in-law! Elvira!" He calls loudly this time around as he taps me. His voice is able to bring me back to reality as I look up at him and ask. “ What is the problem?"" You have been acting strangely ever since I arrived, what is the matter?” He asks, looking at me curiously. " Matter?” I repeat with a raised brow. " Nothing…nothing, it's just that..you know.." Hendrix purses his lips as he looks at me suspiciously. " When you first called me you said you wanted to show me something. And, I know something is bothering you, sister-in-law, s

    ELVIRA“ Elvira," Hendrix calls as he stares at me with confusion and seriousness."What's the matter?" I ask as I try to turn off the phone, but he grabs my hand immediately and holds onto the phone."Where did you get this picture from?" He asks, his tone dripping with seriousness."I thought I already told you," I say with a slight pout as I avoid eye contact with him and fumble with the hem of my cloth. "I went into Demetrius's room and I snooped around, that's how I came across this.""You went snooping in Demetrius's room?" Hendrix repeats, sounding annoyed.I look up to meet his gaze, starting to be overwhelmed by guilt. "Yes, that's what I said," I reply.I pause, waiting for him to say something, but he just keeps mute and stares at the picture of the ring and letter with a faraway look on his face."Hendrix," I call, tugging on his sleeve. "Brother-in-law," but Hendrix doesn't reply, he is so lost in thoughts which makes me really suspicious; I have this feeling that Hendrix

    ELVIRA"Are you being serious right now?" I ask, growing excited as I happily tug on his sleeves. "Please Hendrix, you have to tell me everything you need to know about her!" I am really grateful that Hendrix knows something about this Katherine Diaz; I know that she has something to do with Demetrius, I am so sure about it."Hold on... hold on," he says as he signals for me to keep quiet. "But... but I can't quite place it," I can see the wheels turning in his head as he tries to remember where he had heard the name before."Sister in-law, hold on," Hendrix says. "Katherine Diaz," he hums her name again. "Katherine... Katherine..."I look at him with expectation and curiosity. I just pray that he tells me what I really want to hear.But, much to my disappointment, more than ten minutes pass and Hendrix is still deep in thought as he still tries to remember who 'Katherine Diaz' is. A frown forms on my forehead, I cannot help but feel that Hendrix is trying to hide or distract me by sa

    ELVIRA“Hendrix, answer me, is that too much to ask?!" I yell again as tears flow down my cheeks. “Answer me!""Sister in-law.." he calls again. "No, no.. it's not too much to ask. You deserve to know the truth.”"Then tell me the truth, what are you waiting for?!” I yell again as I hit him all over his body, but although I am angry, I am sure to be gentle. "Why are you hesitating?!”"I.. I already told you I was going to tell you a thing or two about Katherine Diaz and the ring!” Hendrix groans as he tries avoiding my endless blows. “Oh… sister in-law.”I pause as he says those words and just like magic, my mood instantly lightens up, a huge smile forming on my lips. “If that's the case… then I'm all ears, brother in-law," I say with a sly grin as I make myself comfortable in the chair, ready to hear what he has to say.“Come on, start talking, brother in-law," I laugh, signaling for him to start talking.Hendrix stares at me with an amused expression; he looks like he is about to bu

    ELVIRA"Even if I'm inquisitive, that doesn't mean I would go around telling the world that Hendrix told me something about Katherine Diaz and the mysterious ring," I ask with a slight frown on my face. "No, no, I'm sorry, sister in-law," Hendrix apologizes with a sincere tone. "I know you are not someone to go around spilling information you are not meant to. It's just…Demetrius," he pauses as he takes a deep breath."What about Demetrius?" I ask as I gently touch him on the arm."Demetrius does not like it when people snoop around in his room," Hendrix says again as he shakes his head."I know, and I'm even sorry for snooping around," I apologize. "I promise not to snoop around in his room when he is not around anymore, but please just answer my questions, please."Hendrix glances at me before diverting his gaze. "Alright, what is your question?" he asks.I look at Hendrix, studying his expression. He looks as though he doesn't want to say anything, and the little he is saying is b

    ELVIRA"Goodness," I finally speak up. "Demetrius is going to find out I went snooping in his room, Hendrix, I'm finished!""Sister-in-law, don't be so negative, don't say such a thing," Hendrix says, trying to calm me down, but I am not going to fall for his words. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that in a few hours' time, I'm going to die at the hands of my darling husband, Demetrius."Yeah... you don't have to tell me that though," I say with an eye roll as I stand up, pacing back and forth. I can feel my heart racing uncontrollably as I begin to fidget with my already sweaty palm. "Oh God, I am dead. I'm dead!""Sister-in-law, don't talk like that," Hendrix says with a groan as he stands up and approaches me. "Don't worry, I will try my best to distract Demetrius, and even if he finds out, I will speak to him to pardon you that it was all a misunderstanding.""And... Do you think he would believe that?" I ask, anxiously chewing on my fingernails."I... I don't know," he repli

    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

"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

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
