"I'll Break Your Legs"

She breathed deeply as he left the room.

"Oh, that was close! She looked at her hands, which were shivering under the blanket.

Then she got up and rushed to the washroom to do her morning routine.

After washing up she came out of the washroom.

Now the next round was courage taking. She relaxed herself down as she inhaled and exhaled deeply for five minutes.

"Okay, Emilia! You've gotta do this! She said to herself as she stood holding the handle of a double frosted glass door.

Then determining her mind she pulled open the door.

Her eyes widened to its limit looking at the scenery. Who knew that she was sleeping inside a grand house- no(a grand Mansion would be more suitable to say) this whole time.

The sight was unbelievable. She could see multiple enormous chandeliers dangled with high ceilings at a safe distance as she was standing on the second floor.

A middle aged man in a butler suit stood before her with a smile. He had been told by the owner of this house to escort her down to the dining area when she came out of her room.

"Young miss, this way please" butler escorted politely and she followed him without a word, with her mind still examining the breathtaking surroundings.

The white marble steps, the bronze handrails on the either side as it swept grandly downwards, made her gape.

In the way there was also a gigantic fireplace on the side with exquisite marble mantles and mirrored panels.

She noticed two human size statues placed at the end of the staircase. At first sight it'd seem as if they're alive humans.

Large frames of the paintings, which looked expensive, were hung all the way at the giant walls.

Indeed, the owner of the house was tasteful.

The marble floor beneath her feet that seemed to stretch out for miles, was nothing to ignore. She could see her face reflecting in it as it was damn clean like a mirror.

Every single thing present there was screaming money.

She couldn't get her eyes off the interior as it was just enormous.

Emilia never had seen extravagance like this! So, she was simply astonished and impressed.

Then finally, following the butler she reached the dining area. It was as extravagant as the remaining mansion was. But she was tired of describing the details of every single thing to herself in her mind. So, this time she decided not to pay much attention to the surroundings.

Emilia's heart raced wildly when her gaze found him sitting on the king size chair, in the middle.

"Come here, little one! Sit with me... He gestured her with his hand towards the closest seat to him.

She silently obeyed and sat next to him.

She looked around at the large space and noticed it was very quiet.

"You...live alone? She asked, trying to build up a conversation, meanwhile the butler with the maids started to arrange food at the table.

"Yes, little one. I live alone but not anymore. He smiled wryly and she didn't know how to react.

"By the way Emilia, you agreed to keep you with me...it's a little difficult to digest!!! He stared at her as trying to read all the hidden stories inside her.

Emilia pressed her lips tightly causing Rayven's lips to curve up.

She realized that this man was not only dangerous because of his physical capabilities, but because he seemed to see through her like a glass window too!

"What are you thinking? Rayven asked when he noticed her silence.

"N- nothing! I'm just...- her stomach growled while she was talking.

Her blood rushed to her face instantly as a gesture of embarrassment.

He formed his lips into a thin line to avoid his upcoming laughter.

To him she looked like an adorable commodity when she blushed.

"Let's eat, Emilia," he murmured.

She started to eat quietly as he said.

But "how come a man's voice can be this deep, attractive and seductive at the same time when he's just uttering her simple freaking name!" Her mind was stuck to this point.

No doubt, the food was Marvelous.

They ate their breakfast in silence. But Emilia's heartbeat was going wild again and again, every time she felt that she was in the orbit of someone's gaze.

"Emilia, I wanna talk to you about something!!!" Rayven's words drew her attention after they were finished eating.

"Yes, what is it? Emilia assured her ears by turning her face towards him. It was difficult to look into his ocean like deep dark blue eyes, so she kept her gaze at his shoulder.

The crooked and playful smile, that he had shown her many times since they had first met, was now carved on his face.

"Look" he started.

"You are the first girl I've fallen in love" with! And I would make it last too. You are my "love" now!

"I had never expected that I'd be able to fall in love with someone...but it happened!!

So, please don't ever break my trust! Otherwise, I'll break your legs" she stated without showing any sign of mercy in his eyes.

She felt her soul shivering as she heard what he said.

"Ph- hahaha" he burst into laughter when he noticed her soul leaving her body.

"I was just kidding" he managed to say between laughing.

Then he stopped laughing all of a sudden as if he never laughed just now.

"And you...he paused to make sure that she was all ears and than he continued-

"You won't be able to handle my "wrath"! If you won't obey me! In simple words for you. He said.

She pushed her gaze to his dashing face to find any sign of joking but there was none.

"A- are you still...joking?! She asked slowly.

"What do you think?! He asked instead of answering.

Emilia felt that this man was difficult to read.

"I'm not...joking this time, little one" he said in a deep and somber voice.

A chill ran down to her spine while she listened to his words.

She could tell that he wasn't just playing around with words.

She gathered courage to look into his eyes. She felt arrows made of fire hiding behind his dark blue orbs tempted to come out. As if she'd take one wrong step and they'll come at her ripping his orbs.

She got scared internally. She didn't know how to react to his words.

"And one more thing... His deep voice echoed in her ears again and she gulped down subconsciously.
