"You need to look into my eyes deeply, as she was looking into my eyes that's when my red orbs dilated and I compelled the girl standing in front of me, I loved her and now I am erasing a part of her memory.
I am not being honest to this person for some reason, and the reason is maybe because I'm afraid of loosing her and how she will react after knowing what I am, I know I am being selfish but I don't want to lose her and I didn't want her to know the truth like this when I am in my most horrible state, I will tell her the truth but not now " you need to stay ignorant about my true self, my love"
Kaya didn't react anything and a few seconds of staying silent she further said
"Let's go"
Everybody has their own definition of love, some say love is all about sacrifices, or some say love is about making compromises for each other, people's definition for love will be different as everybody has their own perspective but love is about being selfish for the other person, you can do anything for the other person to make you stay with you no matter what, you want to be selfish about everything regarding them, you want to be their everything.
Darius had the definition for love was being selfish in love, no matter what he never wanted to let her go.
As she didn't mention anything about what happened a moment earlier, Darius was relaxed thinking that she forgot everything.
"Lucas, you can go, I have some things to do"
"Let's go together "
"No, I'll be back you can go "
Kaya went to the cemetery for the first time where her mother was lying, Mother Jane asked her to visit before but she didn't had the strength to go,
Kaya bought some white orchids and placed on the tomb, the tomb had the name "A Mother"
Kaya broke down into tears, seeing the name on the tomb, but she didn't think that she will ever cry, because according to her, she never even saw her mother so she won't feel anything visiting the tomb because she had nothing to do with her mother, but deep down she knew that when someday she'll visit the tomb she'll start longing for her mother and that will make her miserable.
Kaya couldn't stop her tears
"Mother, why should I cry when I don't even know you when I never even saw you "
Kaya started questioning while she was weeping, she couldn't resist the fact that without her mother but still looking at her mother's tomb made her cry.
Kaya placed the flowers on the tomb and went away, where she saw Lucas standing by the entrance of the cemetery
"I made myself clear that you should go home"
"We came together, how does it make sense if I leave you here"
"Looks like you miss your mother"
"No, I don't even know her"
"What? why are you crying then"
"None of your business"
Kaya and Lucas came back home where they saw Miss Sylvia sitting and talking to Miss Madison,
"Oh! I've been waiting for you"
"Oh! yes Miss Sylvia your work is done, you can be relaxed now the spirit is gone"
"Why was that spirit there, does it have anything to do with me"
"Nothing to worry about, Its just that the house was vacant for too long, it was just a traveller, they don't have an exact place that is why the spirit got an empty place and eventually habituated there, nothing to worry about, you can be there now"
"Thankyou very much, actually I'm new here so I was thinking about throwing a party inorder to get to know the people's around me, you should join too"
"I'm sorry but I don't really go to the parties "
"Its a request Miss Kaya, I would be honored if you can be there with Mr Lucas today evening"
Before Kaya could say anything Miss Madison Interrupted
"Do not worry Miss Sylvia, she'll be there "
Kaya was dumbfounded to listen to what Miss Madison said but now she had to go as she respected her very much and can't turn her down
Kaya was going upstairs when Davina called her and followed her to her room
"Kaya I think that boy likes you"
"I'm not in a mood for any nonsense, spare me"
"No really, you have understood too"
"No I haven't, and what makes you think that he likes me"
"My instinct says and also I have seen him many times looking at you, the look in his eyes when he stares at you is quite fiery, it's like he can make you beg him for love"
"Enough, please I want to be alone"
"Fine "
Davina went out disheartened from the room as Kaya lashed out on her, while a thought crossed her mind, she went to the west side to meet Mother Jane
"Mother Jane, I have something to ask to you"
"Go ahead"
"How did my mother look"
"What?"
Mother Jane was shocked to hear what Kaya asked because all these 18 years she never once mentioned her mother, nor did she ask about her anything
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing I just want to know my mother, how she was "
"You never asked this before, suddenly why"
"I want to know now, please tell me"
"I don't know who your mother was but I can say in which condition she came to me "
"It was a chilly morning and I was there at the cemetery lighting the candles when your mother appeared from nowhere, but I am sure she came through the woods because at that time there was no places nearby where humans live, she was in a very bad condition, she was panting, as if maybe she came here running her dress was all covered in blood, she was in pain because you were born at that time, she eventually lost her life right after your birth"
"What do you think, Mother Jane, why was my mother in such awful condition"
"Oh Dear, I truly couldn't ask her anything before she left this world, but I think she was in danger"
Kaya came downstairs and headed towards her chambers, she undressed herself as she let the warm water touch her bare skin, feeling relaxed and in peace, Kaya rubbed her hands towards her belly when she saw blood, she remembered that when the spirit threw her in the air she banged herself to the wall and hurt herself.
She didn't care and just left it bare while she was standing there under the shower feeling the water going through each and every corner of her body making her relaxed.
On the other hand, Darius was getting ready for the eve, like a prince.
"Tonight I must tell her the truth and say about my feelings"
Kaya came down wearing a deep cut straight gown making her cleavage visible and flaunting her curves.
"Let's go, "
"Sure"
Kaya went into the garage and bought a car where both of them settled and drove to Sylvia Mansion.
The mansion was blazingly beautiful all set up with lights flowers and gorgeous people, music everything was very new to Kaya, she didn't expect these things could be so beautiful, she was awestruck at the sight of the mansion.
"May I"
Darius came out of the car and offered his hands towards her, to which she accepted and held his hand by his arms, both of them went inside and Miss Sylvia was at the front waiting to greet them,
"Thank you very much Miss Kaya, for being here, Welcome Mr Lucas"
"Its a pleasure being here, thank you"
Kaya responded to which Sylvia asked them to settle and help themselves while she went to greet other guests.
"You're looking very beautiful" Darius said
"Thank you" Kaya responded coldly
Kaya was sitting somewhere at the corner enjoying her drink probably out of boredom while Darius was busy dancing at the ball, to which Darius gazed at Kaya seeing her all alone there, he went forward and said
"Can I have a dance with you"
Kaya hesitated at first but then Darius convinced her and they went onto the dance floor.
Kaya placed her hands on Darius's shoulder and he held her by her waist while holding her to support each other, they started dancing with a slow pace.
"I thought you can't dance"
"Yeah, I'm not much fond of dancing" Kaya replied.
After some time of dancing, Kaya came out and Darius followed her.
"Anything wrong"
"No just didn't fell like dancing"
"You know what, I can teach you how to dance"
Darius slowly took her hands and held her by her waist getting while moving his body along with Kaya's, soon after the distance was reduced and they held each other closely embracing each other's warmth on the winter evening staring at her with silence embracing her smile her beauty.
Kaya rested her head on Darius's chest feeling relaxed and moving along the breeze.
Kaya looked up when she saw Darius staring at her, there was an awkward silent for about two minutes.
Darius slowly took his lips forward and touched hers, to which Kaya didn't reject but accepted his kiss, they kissed each other.
The cool breeze made her cheeks icy cold, Darius held her cheeks and continued kissing her as if they were only for each other.
After a few moments, Kaya ended the kiss and directly looked into his eyes, to which she saw Darius's eyes were red and his orbs were dilating,
"I was right"
Darius was staring at her, this time he didn't hide his eyes instead stood there as he was all prepared to tell her the truth.
"Who are you, an evil spirit"
To which Darius replied
"More worse,.....the devil"
