Burning Passion(ONGOING)

20. SPLEEN

So for the next few weeks Sienna didn't step out of the room even once. She woke up, ate, had a movie marathon everyday, ogled at her boss more than the hot Netflix characters discreetly, ate again and sleep and the cycle repeats.

Tristan would stay with her the entire day and work while ignoring her stares. He secretly liked the fact that she stared at him secretly as she thought she did instead of throwing herself on him. Of course he never admitted it. He kept saying himself that she was just like them but they only entered his brain and not his heart. He tried to stay away from her as much as he could. But he couldn't help his eyes when they stared at her face as she slept while watching movies, when she moaned on eating tasty food which Luca brought for her hiding it from everyone. He waited and watched her from outside the door till she slept. And sometimes he slept on the couch and left the room before she woke up. She was safe but he knew that he had to take her to some other place.

"Ms. Davis we'll be going tomorrow. So pack your things."

"Where are we going?"

"Boston."

"What? When?"

"Day after tomorrow. So go and pack everything you want. We have to be hidden."

"Who is behind the attacks? Who wants to kill us? And why don't  we need security?"

"You don't have to concern yourself for these things. I'll handle it."

"You can handle it. But I don't want to stay in the dark. I want to know what the problem is. I deserve to know and help. "

"Fine. I'll say you everything tomorrow." She sighed in relief that finally she won't be treated like a small child.

Tomorrow came fast and Tristan kept her close all the time. He even sat on the back seat of the car and pulled Sienna close to him, closer than necessary. But, he being he, convinced himself that it was all for her safety . Only when they reached his house that he allowed the girl to be three steps away from him. Sienna relished in the care shown to her. She liked to stay close to him and the fact that he was pulling her close to him was more special for her. She smiled and went dancing towards her room when she halted and made a turn towards the kitchen.

"I can have them after I shower." She grinned to herself thinking this as she grabbed some chips from the counter. She walked silently towards her room in hopes of a peaceful evening but it all went down the drain when she opened the door to her room. The chips fell from her hand as she saw a paper covered in blood kept upon something. She screamed for her boss as she inched towards whatever it was.

In a few seconds Tristan entered the room his shirt unbuttoned as he ran a hand through his hair. Before he could ask anything, the look of fear and disgust on her face made him follow her line of sight. His eyebrows furrowed as he noticed the bloody mess on the drawer and the metallic smell of blood circulating in the room. He gave a reassuring nod to Sienna and picked up the paper.

The moment she saw what was there, her heart skipped a beat in shock and the next moment she ran towards the bathroom puking her guts out. Once after she somewhat convinced herself that she was strong enough to face everything did she run out of the room to the hall where Tristan stood waiting accompanied by Luca.

"What happened?" Luca asked. The look on their faces indicated that something was terribly wrong.

"There was a paper covering something on her dresser."

"What was it?" The tension was so thick in the room that one could cut it with a knife.

"Spleen, tore out of a body." Luca inhaled sharply. Horror and fear crossed his eyes for a moment before they turned cold mirroring his brother's.
