NovelOnlineChapter 0345 There was nothing but sincerity in his gaze, and as much as I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself and never put his hands onagain, part ofcouldn't help but want to give him that chance to explain and fix things. "How do you expect to fix what has already happened, Silas? What else is there that we need to discuss? You made it very clear the guys here, and probably a lot of the girls, are assuming I'm somebody I'm not." I had never claimed to be this badass girl people thought I was. I was 18 years old, trying to figure out my life and where I wanted to go.
Did I have a rebellious nature? Absolutely.

I had pushed the thoughts of losing her to the back of my mind, not trying to dwell on it what had happened because it was a situation I couldn't fix. However, this place turned out not to be the solace I was looking for, and instead, had becjust as much a nightmare as where I had lived before.
I took a moment to think about what I had asked him, and he opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something but wasn't sure. "Will you please just have dinner with me? I can explain everything then." I'd be a fool to agree to have dinner with him, but I was curious to know exactly what it was he was going to do to fix things. Taking him up on this offer was not going to make anything better between Lucas and me. But honestly, after the way Lucas had treatedtoday, regardless of what he assumed to be true... I had no reason to say no.
Nodding my head slowly, I shrugged my shoulders, gesturing with my hand that yes, I would. A bright white smile crept across Silas's face at my acknowledgment to go to dinner with him. He was pleased, and honestly, I wasn't surprised he was.
He was a very strange man in a way. There was something dark and mysterious about him that pulledin, but I couldn't help but feel he didn't just look atlike a person but as a prized possession to own, which was a little unsettling.
He hadn't actually done anything to makefeel that way. It was simply the gaze he gavewas as if I was a piece of gold littered with jewels he wanted to have.

"Great. I'll cby and pick you up at 7. I promise you won't regret this." He quickly turned, not givinga moment to decline or say anything else, and disappeared from my sight. And once again, I was left alone to ponder my thoughts.
I, of course, instantly regretted I had agreed to go to dinner with him because it would only add fuel to an already blazing fire. I sagged my shoulders and continued walking down the path in the direction I was headed. The only thing I wanted to do was curl up in my bed and take a nap. The day had been long and draining. I was still slightly hungover, and with everything that had taken place, I didn't know what to do with myself.
It was the first tin a very long tI had wished my mother was present. That I could go to her for advice, have her bringa hot cup of tea, and sit on the bed and talk to me.
My mother and I hadn't been close in years, and once upon time, we had been. When I was little, I was everything to her, just as Pollux was, and she was everything to me. But then, of course, as I grew, we grew apart, and it becmore complicated than we would have liked.
