The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter

33

It's been days since Phillip had tortured me and I had remained in my room.

Alisa had come to check up on me, crying the moment she saw me.

That day has brought us closer than ever and to be honest, I didn't mind the friend.

I heard from Alisa that Silas had punished Phillip for the way he had treated me.

And I didn't feel bad for him one bit.

Silas forbade me from working as a maid anymore so I was back to my days of staying in and doing nothing.

But this time it was better than the previous days. This time I was inside, but not locked as a prisoner.

I was lying on the bed, reading a magazine that Alisa had given me earlier when the door pushed open.

I looked at the door to find Silas closing the door behind him ashe entered.

His presence filled the room instantly, and I pushed up from where I lay, sitting on the bed.

Why was he here suddenly?

He rarely ever came to see me.

Ever since that day, Silas still acted cold towards me but I could tell he didn't hate me as much.

"We need to talk," he said, leaning against the table close to the wall.

"What's up?" My reply was immediate as I wondered what he could want to talk about.

I tried to keep my tone steady, my heart racing in my chest.

I was already feeling nervous even though I didn't know what he wanted to say.

There's a ball tomorrow night," he stated, his eyes scanning the room as if he didn't want to look directly at me.

What? Why was he telling me this? It's not like he needed my permission to go and I was most not interested in all these things. "A mafia gathering. You'll be attending with me."

I blinked, caught off guard.

What does he mean that I'd be going with him? When did I agree to such!

"I'm not going." I replied without thinking, my voice sharper than intended.

Silas' eyes narrowed, but there was no anger in his expression. He seemed as though he were keeping himself in check. "You don't have a choice, Katrina."

I crossed r

I my arms, trying to maintain some type of control in a situation where I had none.

"I won't be able to walk properly. I've never been to one of these. I don't know how to behave. I can't-

A lot of excuses came mind and they all rushed out of my mouth.

"My father doesn't care about me. Silas. I've said that before, how many times do I need to say it for you to believe me? If he cares don't you think he would have come here with all of his men demanding you release me?" My brow came up as I asked, and Silas stared at me silently.
