Emperor of Destruction [EDITING]

Smut incoming.

It's Sunday.

After Silas finished playing with my emotions, leaving me to clean up our mess we left in Stepphan's washroom, I went to change and fix myself up. I almost shrieked when I looked at my messy appearance in the mirror.

Apart from putting on a show for Stephan and Evelyn, Silas barely spoke to him. Hell, he barely looked in my direction. I caught him looking around a few times on my way back to my room.

I didn't know what it was that he wanted. Maybe my heart so he could break it? Maybe he could laugh at my stupidity with his friends. I'm sure they'd enjoy my downfall more than anyone.

Dinner last night was a mess. At least it was for me. I couldn't eat or keep a conversation going because his leg would brush against mine occasionally. I swear he's hot and cold. One minute he's leaving me on the washroom floor with cum and tears, the next he's trying to seduce me underneath the table.

I don't understand him. I don't think I ever will.

After retiring to my room, my phone kept going off with text messages from him. I knew Mom found it weird that Silas and I were sleeping in separate rooms. I had to come up with some bogus excuse that she seemed to believe.

Today was no different than yesterday. Silas played the role of a perfect boyfriend in their eyes, while I remained in the background until my name was called. Stephan took Silas to his office for business talk, even though he doesn't own a business, yet.

His father runs a very successful business tycoon Silas will one day take over. When you can't get the real deal, you aim for the closest thing. In this case, Stephan chose Silas.

Mom kept pestering me to get my nails done by her personal nail technician. At first I protested, but when I realised she wouldn't stop bugging me, I agreed.

I went for short blue nails. It was my first time ever getting my nails done, I knew short nails would look better on me. Plus, I wouldn't know how to properly function with long nails without breaking a few in the process.

Evelyn took me shopping for clothes and makeup. Her comments about my face and figure made me hate myself even more. I decided to call our little shopping spree off and go home. She called me a crybaby, not realising how much a Mother's words could affect her daughter.

For the rest of the day, I stayed locked up in my room. I overheard Stephan asking Silas if I were okay, and him coming up with some lie that Stephan believed, letting go of the topic.

After finishing my night routine, I sprawled out on my bed and took out my phone, texting in the groupchat.

Autumn: Bored. Entertain me.

Cameron: Are we a circus to you?!

Autumn: Yup.

Autumn: Also, when did a farm have wifi?
