Vision Of Blood

Chapter 10

-ROCCO POV-

"Silas, please." I say for the hundredth time.

Silas leans back in her chair sighing. "Rocco, I don't know if I'll have enough time to do it." She says.

I frown.

She's supposed to be designing Elaine's wedding dress but she's been getting caught up with work again, and not to mention her going through a lot right now.

I mentally scold myself for being selfish and not thinking that she's having a rough time. "Never mind."  I tell her.

Silas looks at me, her eyes burning into mine. "Fratello, I can tell how much this means to you and Elaine....." she stays quiet for a moment. "I'll do it and get it done as quick as I can."

I shake my head. "No. You have a lot on your plate right now I couldn't add more stress for you." I say standing up.

Silas rolls her eyes. "I'm doing it. End of discussion." She says.

I give her a look, knowing I won't be able to get my way when arguing with silas.

"Okay." I say quietly.

She grins. "Alright. Now.. get the hell outta here." She says jokingly.

I look at her confused. "Silas, are you okay?" I ask her.

Her grin falters. "What? I be nice to you for a few seconds and suddenly you think something is wrong with me?" She questions.

I shake my head. Thats not it at all, she's been acting off lately.

"Silas—" I start.

"You should get going, Elaine is waiting for you at home." Silas says, grabbing a stack of papers from her desk. "Have Elaine stop by so we can start this dress." She says.

I'm taken aback by the sudden kick out, she's clearly trying to get me out of here.

"Listen. Call me if you need anything or to talk about something." I tell her.

She nods, not looking up from her papers.

I sigh. "Love you." I tell her, turning around to walk away.

"Fuck you." She replies.

My lips tilt as I open the door to her office but my smile immediately falls when I step out of it.

I'm worried about her.
