The light in my darkness ✅

🌕CHAPTER 25🌑

"My room and you are staying with me."

I stood so close to him, his sent is so powerful. I need to know the name of that rose perfume. Is this how other people feel when they smell him?

For a moment I forgot his fingers were still holding the rag to my forehead. One of my sense must have stop working, because I couldn't feel the coldness from the rag.

Staying with him? No, no-

"No, it's alright, I will sleep in my sister room, it's her first time staying here anyways I wouldn't want her to feel scared. "

"I will ask her myself, you know what I won't ask her anything.  The problem is you and your thoughts.  I won't lay a finger on you Caroline, unless I know I can. I won't hurt you, look am standing so close to you, we are in a close room and am not harming you, try and trust me a bit, one percent is all I need.  All you will do is sleep."

Lay a finger? He had lay all ten fingers more than five times, ten, since I met him

He remove his fingers from forehead and walk towards the closet again.

"Talat? Hum, aren't you going to tell me what's the reason for keeping me here? Matilda wants to see dad and you are telling me that I can't leave the house, I can't use a phone.  That's completely bullshit, do you know that? I learned that my brother was the one who rescued me, I have still yet to properly meet him, I don't know where he is. I'm been kept here against my will, you have Pauline somewhere, mean while my dad is going in for questioning-"

"Breathe."

I yelp. His voice was right next to my ears. He had on a blue t shirt instead of his office one. His business shoes was off and his business pants was replaced with a loose black short. When did he get so close?

"I can't breathe!"

I shout at him, removing the rag from my forehead. How can I breath when he is slow close to me and near panicking at the same time?

"Everything will be fine. I have found your brother,  I came at the hotel to tell you but you flip on me and I'm sorry about that. He is willing to meet you but not yet, he wants everything to be calm first,  he doesn't like drama, based on what I've learned he is dangerous.  I think you've figured that when he bombed the place. He cares about you even though you haven't met him. Knowing that you are is sister and you aren't a bad person is the reason for that," He led me a sofa, light blue, the only sofa in the room.

"Maybe you won't get too close to him because he is not friendly. "

Why does is characteristic a sound like that?

" He is a man that respect the fact that you are family but keeps his distant, maybe because you don't share the same mother, I'm not sure. That's just how he is."

Something else is missing,  what else is he not telling me?

"What else are you keeping from me?"

"I don't think you are ready to hear this."

"Are you doubting me, Talat? What else can surprise me?"

"He is a mafia leader. "

Oh

"Oh, that's why he sounds like that? His characteristic were sounding so dangerously off record."

"What do you think about mine?"

You are too dominant, and am still seeing sides to you, you somehow makes me feel as if am feisty, which am not, or wasn't, I don't even know for sure
