Stringed by Hate

Scarlett

A fine sculpted man stood behind me. I turned to see him.
"Hello. Sister-in-law."
I wrapped my arms around Silas. He was Sebastian's younger brother. We just met on the wedding and the next day and he just made me feel like a young child around him. Like I was a little sister.
"Hi Silas. What are you doing here?"
I said as I unwrapped myself.
"Ofcourse my family is invited here stupid. I am mandated to be here. Else you will be so bored without me. Isn't that right?"
We both burst into laughter.
"Oh My God. Hi Silas, how was you trip to LA?" Mr. Mikaelson asked him.
"Oh! It was lovely!" Silas raised his glass to tell.
"Hello brother."
Silas greeted Sebastian. He pulled him into a hug. And after so many days I saw a smile on Sebastian's face. His smile was the silver lining to my sky. It was beautiful. His perfectly aligned teeth brought spark to my eyes.

He. Was. Gorgeous.

As the event passed on everything seemed so strange. There were lights all around but I felt the darkness in my head.

"Hey Aphrodite." I knew this voice.
"Hi Sebastian"
"What happened? You seem lost?" He said while his hands slid to the small of my back. His touch runs like fire through my veins.
"I don't know Sebastian. I feel LOST. Seeming is a lot more different thing."
Tears rolled down my eyes.
He cupped my chin in his hand. I saw concern in his eyes. He was known to be ruthless but he.. was really something else. Something the world doesn't need to know.
"Hey, Who the fuck brought tears to your eyes?"
"No one Sebastian. I just can't imagine that I am out of that house and I don't have to listen to my parents anymore. I am happy about this but.."

"But what Aphrodite?"
" But I am also terrified to be with you."
His expressions changed from a cold hearted tone to a heart melting concern. He was about to say something when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey Scarlett!"
