CHAPTER 38

"Let me go, Helios!"

No matter how much I screamed in the room we had entered, no one outside could hear me because it was a bit far from the hall where the party was happening. He didn't listen to me and walked toward the soft bed. I gasped loudly when I felt his hand on my butt.

He slapped it hard. I squeezed my eyes shut from the sting of the slap, but there was something strange I felt in my body when he did that. I was annoyed, but why was there a hint of an unfamiliar sensation coursing through me when he slapped me?

"You stay here," he said coldly as he suddenly dropped me onto the soft bed.

I glared at him sharply, my hands pressed against the bed to keep myself from lying down completely. My chest rose and fell, and I kept my eyes on him.

Why aren't weapons allowed here?

"You have no right to order me around, Helios. You don't own me," I snapped at him angrily, pointing a finger at him.

I stood up completely and ignored him. I walked toward the closed door to leave. I heard the sound of his footsteps coming toward me, but I ignored it. Just as I was about to grab the doorknob, I felt Helios's hand stopping mine from opening the door.

"You sure?" he whispered softly, his warm breath brushing against my ear. "Are you sure that I didn't own you, Hexia?" he repeated.

I frowned at what he said. I kept my eyes on his right hand now resting on mine, which was gripping the doorknob. The silver ring on his pinky was noticeable, and I could feel it pressing against my skin. The warmth of his palm on mine was impossible to ignore.

My heart started to beat faster as his words echoed repeatedly in my mind. I felt him undo the tie of my mask at the back, causing it to fall to the floor.

"I made you moan my name. I made you come with my mouth and my finger. Isn't that enough proof that I own you?" His voice was rough, as if trying to seduce me.

I clenched my left fist and shut my eyes tightly. The memory of what happened between us at Hyperion's house and on Isla de Brawl quickly flashed in my mind. I was breathing rapidly, and no matter how hard I tried to forget it, I couldn't. He wouldn't leave my thoughts, and that infuriated me.

"Are you joking?" I laughed sarcastically at him. "It was just a mistake. All of that was a mistake, and you know it yourself, Helios. We were just carried away by our bodies."

I quickly turned around and pushed him hard. He stumbled back because of what I did. Now I could clearly see his face, no longer hidden by a black mask. His hair was disheveled, and a few buttons of his white polo shirt under his black vest were undone. Even though he looked a bit disheveled, he still appeared clean in my eyes. When I looked up, our eyes met.
His ashen eyes were hazy, and I couldn't tell what other emotions were playing in his gaze.

"Do you think I'm joking?" he asked me
sarcastically. "And no, Hexia. Not everything we did was a mistake."

"What's your problem? Why did you bring me here?" I demanded.

I took a step back when I saw him approaching me. His face was devoid of emotion until we were only a foot apart. I could almost hide behind his body; it was so broad, and I could almost use his chest as a pillow. I was looking up at him now because he was taller than me even though I was wearing a heels now.

His eyes seemed to hypnotize me again when our gaze met closely. His eyes darted around as if he were memorizing my face.

"I need you to answer this. What is your husband's name, Hexia?" he asked me firmly.
