[WARNING: A slight snu snu scene at the end that will make you curse the author for hanging your hormonal feels.]
Silence enveloped the room, no one dared to utter a single word. Only the heavy breathing of each one of them can be heard.
Both Andrew and Aisha are staring at each other for quite awhile now, before Aisha sighs and said, "Leave now, I'll have to talk to your Boss."
Andrew frowns and was about to say something when Aisha cut him off, "If you want to know all the details, starting from how we met and how she betrayed me, ask someone you knew to hack my computers in my manor and gathered all the information you want to know."
"Uh," Noel scratch his head. "Can't you just tell us?" He asked in a soft voice, careful not to agitate Aisha.
"Too lazy." Aisha rolled her eyes at him before waving her hand at them. "Now, scram."
Andrew bit the inside of his cheek before turning to his Boss. Lucian looks at Aisha and then to Andrew, he too was a little helpless in this situation.
Lucian sighs as he rubbed his temples. "Dismissed." He only said one word, but all four of them get what he means.
Andrew clenched his fists before turning around to leave, same as the other three. Antonette was the last one to leave, but before that, she look back and stared at Aisha with contempt. Aisha stared back at her, not backing down to the silent staring war between them. In the end, Antonette was the one to break off their staring after a couple of seconds. Antonette was about to open the door when Antonette felt a sharp wind passed through her face. She trembles as she shakily look at the bandaged arm along with a dagger in her hand, half of the dagger was struck into the door as Antonette felt cold, especially in her back where she could feel the cold body of Aisha pressed in her back.
"If you dare to stare at me like that ever again," Aisha whispered coldly into her ear which made all her hairs in her body stood up. "Whether or not you're one of Lucian's elites, I won't hesitate to stab your eyes with your spear. Get it?"
Antonette gulps before nodding shakily. "Good." Aisha smiles wickedly as she pulled the dagger out of the door and let Antonette stumbled out of the room.
She's scary... Antonette trembles. Ever since the day she had been rescued by Lucian when they were still kids, Antonette never feels this kind of fear again. And now, just with a mere threat from her, it feels like half of Antonette's life has been cut off from her.
Noel noticed her subtle trembling, he went to her side and put a hand on her shoulder. Antonette jolted from his touch and Noel frowned seeing this. "You okay?" Noel asked worriedly.
"Yes." Antonette let out a sigh through gritted teeth and composed herself. She look at Andrew and said, "Don't worry, Boss knew how important your sister to you. He won't forsaken us just because of her."
"I know." Andrew said seriously. Although Aisha seems to be an important person to Lucian, he trust Andrew that Lucian won't betray them over some woman. "Call Amber, tell her to hack through Aisha's computer."
"I already messaged her." Reid said gloomily from the side.
"What does she said?"
Reid didn't answer but just held his phone for them to see her message. In the message box was said, "Fvck you all! My system has been destroyed by Aisha's system!"
Antonette, Noel, and Andrew: "..."
Back in the study.
"What? You want me to spare that bïtch's life?" Aisha carelessly throws herself into the couch. Both of her arms are spread in the sofa's backrest, while her legs are crossed.
Lucian smirks at her before he leans on his desk table. "I know how much pain a betrayal can brought to a person. And I also know how much pain losing someone you love will brought to a person."
"And what's your point by that?" Aisha raised her brow at him. "You want to stand between Andrew and I?"
"Did I say something like that?" Lucian shrugs. "Andrew is my friend and subordinate, while you are my lover. Both of you are important to me but the two of you oppose to each other. One wants to kill his sister and one wants to save her."
"So what will you do now?" Aisha scoffed. "I don't care what's that guy's relationship to her but I'll..." Aisha trailed off when she realize that something isn't right.
"Wait..." Aisha paused for a moment, recalling their conversation just now and that's how she realized Lucian refers her as his lover. "I am not your lover!" She shouted angrily, her face red from embarrassment.
Lucian couldn't help but to chuckle at her cute behavior. He was sure that if Reid and the others saw her like this, they will have to think if the person who made them feel death is just right beside them and the blushing lady in front of him is the same.
"Are you not?" Lucian feigned a look of being wronged. "I see, so the things that happened to us didn't matter to you? The kisses, the touches, those intimate moments we shared..." As Lucian was speaking, he was walking towards Aisha with slow strides. "All of it, was it just nothing to you? But then, that time, your loud moans and sexy responses to my touches tells me otherwise."
Lucian bent a little to grip one of Aisha's ankles, and pulls it so that she was lying on the sofa. Lucian followed afterwards with his big frame overshadowing hers, and one hand was gripping Aisha's wrists above her head. Aisha's face are burning by now, her breathing turned ragged as she feels vulnerable under Lucian's predatory gaze. "You... shameless!"
"Am I?" Lucian smirks, his head dipped down to nipped at Aisha's exposed collar bone.
"You're so unfair!" Aisha complained through gritted teeth, fighting the urge to moan at the sudden pleasurable feeling of his kisses. "You.. you're dodging the bullets here. We're... we are not done ta-talking." She stuttered and then gasped loudly as Lucian's hot, wet tongue touch the valley of her breasts.
"So, we can just talk like this." Lucian trailed his soft lips up towards Aisha's neck.
"Aeron!" Aisha exclaimed angrily. Her teeth biting her lower lip as Lucian bit her neck hard before lathing it with his tongue to ease the pain.
"I thought it was Lucian, Ciana." Lucian paused and then smiled. "My dear Ciana."
"Lu-Lucian..." Aisha called his name in a soft tone, but to Lucian, it sounded so sexy that it only ignite his burning desire to claim her.
"Hmm, that's it." Lucian nibbled her ear.
"Lucian," Aisha called again. "Are you... siding with him?"
"No, I'm not siding with anyone." He chuckles lowly in her ear before biting it softly. "Because I know that you won't kill her."
Aisha froze beneath him.
"Aren't I right?" Lucian continues, he lifted his head to look at her shocked face. "From the very start, you don't plan to kill her."
