Esther's POV

"Hey Sweet cheeks." Silas chirpped and jumped to sit on the counter while I wiped the sink.

"Sup dude." I replied before I went over to him for a fist pump.

"Just here for some milk." He shrugged.

"I'm gonna get you some." I smiled and went to open the fridge and brought out a carton of milk and two glasses.

"So if I hadn't asked for milk, would you have taken some?" He chuckled when I was pouring out the milk.

"Well initially, I planned to drink the milk alone." I informed reluctantly giving him a glass and he shook his head still chuckling as he took the glass.

"So, Silas." I said sipping my milk.

"Tell me about yourself." He tensed up a bit nevertheless he spoke.

"I live with my parents, I used to live with my elder brother as well but.." before he could finish, I tapped his arm and gave him an assuring look.

"It's ok if you don't want to talk about it." I informed.

"No, it's time I do."

"Silas, I mean it, seriously." I said even though I wanted to know, so badly.

"No, I need to let it out." Silas said and sighed. "My brother because a psychopath." He paused and looked into his milk.

"What did he do?" I asked softly.

"He..He killed my little sister." He bit his lip and I gasped.

"B..But why?" I asked.

"I don't really know, he said she knew something about him that's why he killed her but Lula was such a calm humble girl." When he said this, there was silence for a while and I broke it.

You know me and my big mouth.

"Where is he now?" I asked.

"Around the country, don't know where though." He replied and silence came again.

"What about you?" He asked.

"I live with my mom..my dad..well he abandoned me." I sucked my breath trying not to remember what happened.

"Sorry about that." He said sympathetically. "Any siblings?" He asked and I shook my head. I couldn't tell him about my dark past because I still felt I couldn't trust anyone.

My mom had no idea as well and I didn't know how to let anyone else know.

"Life is hard." I whined when he got down from the counter.

"Really hard." He agreed. "Even Terrance too had to experience that." He said.

"What about him?" I asked curiously.

"I don't think I'm supposed to tell." He said and I sighed.

"OK but how did you all meet? " I asked.

"High school." He said.

"Cool." I replied and finished my milk.

"Hey so are you guys staying here tonight?" I asked.

"Yup." And with that, we walked out of the kitchen and I felt an amount of weight lift off me when I talked to Silas.

"Oh, I need to do something from the kitchen." I remembered and he nodded and walked away.

Immediately I entered the kitchen, someone grabbed me and slammed me to the wall.

"Lord! Lord! Please save me! I promise I'll fast! I'll stop eating! Don't let me die now! I haven't eaten my future breakfast!" I blurted.

"Shut up." Terrance's gritted in his low deep voice.

"Terrance, what the hell?" I asked ignoring my rapid heartbeat due to our proquinity.

"What were the two of you talking about?" He demanded.

"Me and who?" I asked sheepishly.

"You and Silas. " He gritted and I tried to keep my breathing in check when he leaned in.

"Oh that." I chuckled. "I was discussing with him about your size just in case we want to buy you a coffin." I explained and he glared at me. His expressionless face quickly changed into a sly sexy smirk.

Has he gone mad?

"What's s..so...f..funny?" I stuttered.

"Do I make you nervous?" He asked.

Yes bitch yes.

"N..no you don't." I lied.

"Then,.." He began gently stroking my arm with his fingers, making me shiver. "Why do you have goose flesh?" He asked and I bit my trembling lip feeling too fuzzy. He looked at my trembling lips and brought his hands to frame my face.

"Why are you blushing?" He asked in a gruff voice stroking my red cheeks.

"Um..you have no..ef..effect on me." I kinda..lied?

"Is that so?" He inquired and the next think I knew, his face dropped into my neck.

"Why can't you push me away?" He questioned when his lips were dangerously close to my earlobe.

I couldn't do anything, I felt weak.

"Esther talk." He huskily whispered and goose flesh swam in me.

"I..um..I." I am loving this.

Wtf.

I tried moving my hand to push him away but they became weak when he leaned himself more to me making them land on his chest.

With his face still in my neck, he held my hands and pinned them above my head and my stomach flipped when he smirked against my skin. He removed his head looked at me. He tossed my arms onto his shoulders and firmed his arm around my waist. I quivered as my hands brushed on his muscular upper arm and rested on them. His face came back to my neck and his breath fanned it.

"Say something." He whispered. My breaths caught midway in my throat and his hand slid on my back and rested on my right butt and he grazed his hand on it making my eyes widen and my heart thump. I could feel my butt burn. Literally.

Can mute people talk?

"Jerk." I said in my mind as he let go and backed away.

When he went back, the organs in my body started working properly again so I inhaled deeply but the smirk had still not wiped off from his face.

"I guess that whole time you were always nervous around me." He said.

"Fuck off." I muttered under tone.

Why am I even talking undertone?

***

"How has work been going?" Jordan asked me when it was dinner time.

"It's been good." I replied and my mum smiled at me being polite. Jordan had been really good to me.

He had finally understood that I'd love to be independent not because I didn't want to be dependent on him but because I want to be responsible.

It's been three weeks since Mom got married to Jordan, three awesome weeks since my mom had become cheerful.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I took it to see the message. My eyes widened as I read the message from the unknown number.

Sweetheart, I'm back. Do you miss me? Guess what? I'm not dead. I'm alive and I'm coming back for revenge. Don't ask me how I got your number, I have my ways. I also know where you live, work, everything. Just know that I'll always love you but since you betrayed my love,you gotta pay the price. xoxo

"Esther, are you okay?" Mom asked when my face drained of color.

"Yes mom." I lied, looked at the message again and typed my reply.

Did you waste all your time typing this? Because my name isn't sweetheart and you've got the wrong number so I suggest you chew your phone chip and fuck the pissing fuck off.

That was the best reply and he also replied.

Oh, my same old sweetheart, Too bad if you see me, you'll never see the light of another day.

I refused to reply the message because I was too scared to type. I turned my attention to my food, totally ignoring Mom and Jordan's gaze.
