Chapter 38 WORK PLACE
ARYA/SILVIA POV
It has been a month since I got married to Reyes and I must say I love his children, they are wonderful kids, makes me happy, I wonder how Isa would look like every time I stare at Aubrey and the twins reminds me of my little boy, they were so cute pranked Aubrey a lot, they would definitely get along with Angelo. Ever since my first night with Reyes, I noticed he never stays at home for long, it like my life was in repeat all over again, Reyes is a workaholic just like Lucas, put those two in the same room and you’ll think they are brothers. I only know for a fact that Reyes is an abusive and possesive person, although he tries to hide his anger but I have always had a kin eye to see beyond and I know there is more to Reyes that nobody is saying.
“Alright, enough with the movie, time to sleep,” I said and asked Aubrey to the television causing them to groan and pout a little, I kissed their forehead, “goodnight mama,” they whispered as they went upstairs, “goodnight dear,” I said. I turned off all the light, with quiet steps, I made my way to the kitchen to make coffee, I was exhausted. I made two cups of coffee and made my way to his room knowing he will be awake and working on his computer. When I opened the door, I found him lying on the bed, he looked exhausted. “I made you coffee,” I passed him the cup, I noticed his hair was ruffled and there were dark circles around his eyes. He took the coffee from me and stood to leave, it has been like this since we had sex, we haven’t been in a room together for two minutes, he sleeps in another room, it was awkward and we haven’t spoken about the night. He picked his pillow and blanket.
“Reyes,” I whispered, he raised his head.
“You can sleep on the bed with me.” he sighed, contemplating on what to do, I rolled my eyes and get on the bed. After a few minutes, he stood up and climb onto the bed.
“How was work?” I asked in a stupid attempt to break the awkward tension between us. “Exhausting,” he said, as it was clear from his tired face and voice. “How was your day?” he asked.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Fun,” I said. His eyes travelled on my body, I pulled the blanket closer knowing I was only wearing a sweatshirt and nothing under it.
“Can I ask you something?” he asked. “Sure,” I said and sit up. “Do you regret what happened between us?” he asked and my eyes widened. My gaze immediately darted to him and he was staring at me waiting for an answer. “Maybe,” I replied not sure on what to tell him, I mean it was not something that we wanted to happen but when it did, I liked it, so I don’t know if I regret having sex with him.
“Okay,” he shrugged and looked down, “do you have a boyfriend?”
“No,” I said. I had no time for dating and why does he want to know, I thought he already knows everything about me.
“Are you saying you’ve never been in a serious relationship?” he asked, sounding surprised.
“Well, it wasn’t that serious.” I muttered in a weak voice. What happened between I and Lucas shouldn’t be considered serious right?
His eyes fully focused on my face, I looked away. “Tell me Silvia, am I your first?” I scoff his he stupid or something, just because I wasn’t getting some actions for years doesn’t mean am a virgin. “No, I have had sex” my answer amused him.
“That would explain a lot,” he muttered and a corner of his lips lifted upwards.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked. “you’ve only had sex with one person and if am right that was a long time ago,” he said while smirking. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him knowing he was right, I felt embarrassed, “so what?” I huffed angrily and lay down on the bed, covering the blanket over my head. I hear him chuckle.
The next day, he went back to avoiding me, he left early without having breakfast, the driver dropped the twins at school and Aubrey suggested I made something for her father saying he won’t eat anything, all he thinks about his work. “Aubrey” I yelled out calling for her to come down, I went back to the kitchen and packed his food into the lunch box, I went to her and extended the box for her to take, “please take this to your father,” she took it from my hand and dragged me by her other hand, “why don’t we take it to him.”
“I don’t think it a good idea, you go alone,” I said worrying of his reaction since I wasn’t supposed to leave his mansion. He would definitely not like me leaving the house and worst, coming to his office. I pulled my hand away from her, she held me back, “come on, are you scared of my dad, she teased me. I scoff “as if” I mumble out. “Are you not tired of staying inside?”
True, this way I can find out what is going on and how to get back to my family. I look at her wanting to refuse the offer, “please,” she pouted. “Alright,” I agreed.
Have never been to Reyes office before, I wonder what it looks like, what does he even do? Maybe he sells humans but that would be an underground business. We got in and everyone was staring at me wondering who I was some greeted Aubrey, since they knew her as the boss’s daughter, whatever he does here looks genuine and legal, I wonder what his reaction would be.
“Come,” she led me to this private elevator that says “for boss only,” but Aubrey entered and no one tried to stop her. We got to the Reyes part of the building and everyone was giving me curious looks and I had no idea why, “Ma’am, boss said not to disturb-”
“Am his daughter, and your future boss. Now go away” she glared at the young girl who looked like she was going to cry any minute now. “Please don’t go inside,” she warned us but Aubrey wasn’t having it, “didn’t you hear?” she scolded and she immediately moved back.
She held my wrist and led me inside Reyes office, who was busy doing something I would never expect. “Dad!” Aubrey yelled out.
