His demons soothed having her in his arms.

🦋

Checking all the documents, I find no clue nothing seems suspicious of my parents' death, even Nichole doesn't agree with me but maybe If I show her the letter I found, she will understand that I was right.

Whenever I talk to her, she somehow always sidetrack the conversation, maybe I should just meet her.

Taking out my phone, I type Where are you ? I miss you.

Her reply came almost instantly, What a coincidence I was thinking about you, I am near your home ,rose. Should we meet at the usual place?

Sure, I will be there in 5 mins. I replied, taking my jacket and keys I locked the door to reach the cafe at walking distance.

"I think you forget your big sis," Entering the cafe, her arms wrapped around me, instinctively my eyes closed in relief.

"It' s not like that, it's just college has been stressful lately, you know it's been three years since my accident I still don't remember anything," we sat ordering black coffee.

"Doctors said they don't know if you will be able to get your memory back or not there is no guarantee. "her hands reached out to mine, "You are taking your meds right it might help, "her eyes turned to worry as her hand squeezed mine.

"Yea how can I forget your late night texts always reminds me. "I pulled her cheeks knowing how much she dislikes it, yet it feels nice to annoy her.

"Rose, I care about you, you don't need to take any unnecessary stress." she says out of the blue, maybe she saw it in my eyes, I could never hide anything from her, she would read me like a book, and the emotions, I hide.

"I know, Nichole you are my only family. " As we drink the coffee, I thought about telling her about the letter, "I found a letter when I went to the home we used to live before."

She stopped sipping her coffee, her expression turned serious "Rose how many times..."I cut her off "Listen to me first Nichole the letter confirmed my doubts it said someone schemed our parents to die, " I said trying to convince her.

"Who was it from?" she questioned, "I don't know there was no name on it."

"So, what are you going to do about it rose, "her voice turned harsh and loud rendering me speechless and confused, "I mean it's not like we can get them back," her voice lowered realizing that she grabbed the attention of almost everyone in the cafe.

"But the killer is still out there, "I whispered grabbing her hand.

"Look, rose we will talk about this later. We don't even know if the person who wrote this letter is saying the truth."

"Why do you never trust me? "I said annoyed as tears glistened in my eyes "Because I still have my memories, Rose it was In front of my eyes the house set on fire and, I couldn't do anything about it, I saw them die with my own eyes." Tears leak out of her eyes as if it pained her physically to even think about that day.

"Why do people blame me that I killed my parents? remember after the accident when we went to the back home, the neighbors accused me for their death." My voice came out barely as a whisper, it ached to see tears spill out of her eyes.

"Cause they can't stand our family and they hated you." She stood up leaving some bills from her purse on the table and walked away, Why is she being so rude?

What's the matter with her, every time when it comes to our family, she always react like this?

Are you hiding something from me, Nichole?

I stood up from the chair but then realizing, I stepped on something, I crouched low to grab the polaroid.

Ocean blue eyes, he is wearing a blue denim with white shirt, I gasped seeing a polaroid of Dante.

Why does she have Dante's photo in her purse?

Reaching home, needing to calm my nerves I take a cold shower, looking at myself in the mirror my wet hair gave a sharp edge to my face, thoughts overtake my mind.

How is my sister related to him?

What are you hiding from me, Nichole? My mind spinning overthinking so much about the possibilities.

"Nothing makes sense ."Taking the towel, I wrap it around me to cover my naked body, my muscles ache, with my mind exhausted, all I want is to drown myself in the darkness where everything fades even if it just for a few hours.



Suddenly, a scream leaves my lips seeing a man's standing in front of my room, a familiar scent invading my nostrils, in a flash, I turned on the switch, so the room could be lighten up.

"Dante." Wearing a white shirt with his top buttons open exposing his chest, he eyes me, his gaze travelled from my toe to the head before resting on my lips.

A wicked smile on his face, his gaze lingering on my breast, my hands tightened around the towel hiding my naked body, I took a step back while he took one towards me.

"What are you doing get out of here," I yelled, but it fell deaf to his ears, he stalked towards me, putting both his hand on the either side of the wall he caged me. "If you touch me, I will scream the neighbors will notice" I warned seeing lust filled in his eyes, he didn't say anything just staring at me with a gaze I couldn't decipher.

He looked stressed he didn't have the usual amusing smirk on his face as he used to nor did I hear any dirty remarks?

Well, at least ,not until now.

"Take off the towel sweetheart," his husky voice spread tingles over my skin.

"No, I-." I mentally faced palmed myself for stuttering, "Get out, " I yelled at him, my eyes widened at the audacity of this man to enter my home.

His eyes narrowed at me, as if I am a petulant child throwing tantrums, slowly his hands reached out to unbutton his shirt, his piercing gaze not leaving mine even for a second.

As he removed his pants, My mind screamed to run but before I could reach it arms encircled around my waist ,his hand covering my mouth muffling my scream "Don't you dare to scream." he said harshly in my ears.

I nodded scared of what he can do to me, but he gently lifted me and threw me on the bed my towel unwrapping around my body, my hands reached out to cover myself but he took my hand in his pinning me to bed. "You are beautiful." he leaned close, his hand on my waist gently caressing my skin as if to make me relax in his hold.

As if seeing the fear in my eyes, he spoke "Just sleep okay ,nothing else."

Slowly, he stood up and I covered my body with a blanket, shifting myself towards the edge, I tried to put more distance between us.

"Sweetheart, you can come closer I won't bite. "

Not yet.

Suddenly two arms surrounded me, tugging me towards him, my back colliding with his warm chest. I can feel the heat from his body, his face nuzzling my neck, his hands on my waist keeping me closer to him, not allowing any space between us.

I tried to wiggle away from his touch but instead his legs entangled mine "Sweetheart, you should sleep before I put you to sleep in my way."

"I am sure, you don't want my way, do you?" he whispered nipping on my ear, my hairs stand on my neck as I tried to breathe evenly.

"You shouldn't be here "I whispered, his rough skin of the palm caressed my stomach in a way that seem to be intimate, as if we are some long lost lovers.

"But you are right here where you belong, in my arms." he buries his nose in my hair, a sigh leaves his lips, he is different today, almost like he has let his guards down, as if he is too tired.

"Close to my heart." he said humming, "You won't do anything will you?" Fear grew in me, as I spoke.

"No sweetheart I won't do anything." he chuckled.

"But if you want me to-

Now that's a different story."
