“Well I was on my way to Emil’s room to dress his injury but since I met you, please see to it that his wound is clean… I would have done it, but Vince needs me in the study”Carmen said innocently which sounded like manipulation to Sia who couldn’t refuse even if she wanted and after saying yes, she made her way to Emiliano’s room with a heavy heart and most importantly why he was suddenly hurt.
“So help me I’ll kill him”she muttered and pushed the door open and unlike what she expected, she found the man sleeping on his belly with his right hand suspended to the sides and once Sia got close, she muffled her mouth with her hand. He was badly hurt as if someone had been using glass pieces to cut his skin off.
“Trouble”she mumbled with a friend and crawled onto his bed, so she could clean his wound properly, blood was all dried up which meant he had been hurt for a long time but why. She quickly made sure to he was alright applied ointment at some point had the urge to use something which burned like hell but felt pity the man was horrible, but she promised Carmen to do a good job.
“Done”Sia said and stretched her hand to put the box on the stand and once she did, she started making plans to get the man off her laps, for this she was going to taunt him for life.
“Get off your Casanova”she murmured as she tried to get him off, but he was too heavy to lift, and she feared she might hurt his well bandaged arm and feeling helpless Sia leaned back and tried again to slide off her, but Emiliano mumbled something and snuggled more on her belly leaving no room for her to move. Sia frowned has she had the urge to push him off the bed, but something clicked in her head, the way he curled in a ball like a harmless little child and his head resting on her belly brought so much to her mind that she didn’t want to stay any longer, every tiny action from him sent her to the past and made her relive so many memories she wanted to bury with all her might, but she couldn’t, those memories were embedded in her head for eternity. Every action brought everything to the surface that left her vulnerable and wanted some badly to be freed even though she knew it wasn’t anybody’s fault but she still blamed him for whatever happened.
“I hate you with every drop off blood in my body Emiliano”she mumbled and wiped her tears, her eyes were drowsy, and her body was too tired to be moved and as she tilted her head to her left she saw a body of sleeping pills open and a glass of water on the nightstand and knew he had taken them for him to sleep without noticing her presence. Sia automatically closed her eyes and her hand fell in his thick soft hair and without knowing started running her fingers in there, and before she knew she lost all contact with reality and was trapped in her dream world.
“No… no, please open the door… please he’s going to die”sia pounded on the door desperately as she glanced back at the man failing to breathe crawling on the floor, he was crouching his chest as if his heart wanted to rip out and with all her night Sia cried out for her
“P… please he’s hurting… open up!”she shouted as loud as she could but the people who pushed her inside the strange room with a man drugged with something she didn’t know and whatever it was meant trouble.
“Open this door please I’m begging… sobs… sobs… please don’t do this”she cried even more than her voice cracked and went hoarse from all the screaming and the people outside laughed even more as they mocked her and cheered for her life would be ruined in a night, Sia looked back at the man and her legs gave out because she was doomed for life, the fire and lust she saw in his eyes was not normal.
“N… no no”she stepped back nervously, but it was too late.
“NO!”she screamed out loud and woke up panting and catching her breath as her heart pounded loudly feeling suffocated as Sia coughs to catch her breath, her body broke into cold sweat as she wiped sweat from her face feeling confused and looked around her surroundings, and it was morning. Sia swallowed nervous as she prayed and hoped she wasn’t where she thought she was and after calming herself down she inhaled and exhaled deeply until her rising and falling chest was stable.
“No”she muttered still scared of her dream and just then something clicked in her head as she with alertness sat up on the strange bed which wasn’t hers but Emiliano’s and when she looked around she found the room empty and Emiliano who was in her arms the previous night was nowhere to be seen and once she glanced at herself, she was all covered up.
“No no”she murmured and jumped off the bed and nearly flew to the door hating every moment she had fallen asleep in her enemy’s room, and immediately she opened the door she met with Carmen and Sia froze as her heart pounded violently again.
“Hey dear, I can see you had a good sleep huh”Carmen said with a smile that Sia knew was insinuating something else which of course was not what it seemed
“I… I… hello aunt”she stammered and Carmen feeling all happy laughed and took her by the arm.
“Aww don’t worry, it’s normal for you to sneak into his room at night… as it is you two will be getting married in a few days”Carmen went on and on saying all sorts of things Sia didn’t understand as she dragged her downstairs to the living room. Sia was lost as she tried to say something to make Carmen understand that she misunderstood her but couldn’t, Carmen was already celebrating and giggling like a teen thinking about the romantic position she found Emiliano and Sia sleeping in the previous night she came to check whether sia had done what she asked her to do. It was too good to be true, but she saw, Sia was holding Emiliano in her arms while he rested his head on her belly and both were sleeping peacefully.
“And here she is”Carmen said with smiles, and they finally reached the living room where they were many people and one of them was.
“Jean”Sia muttered as she set her eyes on Jean, they were known fashion designer and her dearest little partner in crime standing there with a smile on her face.
“Wow Carmen, such a beautiful girl you found for our poor Emil”Jean commented as she walked to Sia who was doing everything she could to communicate with jean now to blurt out the truth about her.
“Hi sweetie nice to meet you”Jean said and pulled Sia in a hug and whispered for only her to hear.
“Once we are done here, I need an explanation from you young lady”she said with a smile and moved back and pretended as if nothing had happened and Sia thanked her stars.
“So Jean, can you make something beautiful for her… something different”Carmen said and sat down while jean nodded in satisfaction.
“Rest assured Mrs Alvaro, I have a unique wedding dress just for her, she’s beautiful.”
“Good, Sia dear come take a sit and go through this magazine and see if you can find something you like”Carmen said and Sia nodded nervously and went to sit so did jean who took out her tablet and started showing her the wedding dresses, Sia deep down knew Jean was going to bombard her with questions including why two grooms.
