A Love So Dark

Chapter Nine

Kaius POV

So what is going to be our next move Leonardo asked as I combed my hair Infront of the mirror,I was in my room getting ready for my date with Marcella even though I wouldn't exactly call it a date and Leonardo was with me,Leo has been my childhood companion and I remember there was a time we used to be really close friends but after my parents death,his mum who witnessed the gruesome scene fell ill and is currently undergoing treatment in a psychiatric hospital and we separated only to meet 6years back,we both took over my family syndicate and he is my must trusted man and due to the fact that I had lost the warmth and friendliness I used to have as a kid we both grew apart but he still is the same after everything,the same funny and corny Leo from my childhood he is also one person that isn't very scared of me and will give me advice from time to time

I plan to make my engagement with Marcella public I replied

So that's what this is all about He asked in an amused voice

What do you mean I asked as I add more Jel to my hair

Don't you think you are trying a bit hard to look good tonight I was starting to wonder who you were going to meet He said

I don't need to try hard Leo I replied firmly trying to cover the cockiness that filled my voice

Someone's being cocky He said in a muffled voice

Make sure you send some men to watch over Mr Wallace I Said changing the topic

You don't trust him He asked

That man has nothing to hide and can also do nothing against me,he also has enemies who are willing to take him down and am sure if people get to learn that he also has a family they will surely use that against him I replied

And you also know the person we are fighting against work in the shadows hiding behind people to make his move,he always does the unexpected no one has ever seen his face and no one knows his origin not even his family,so we have to be careful Incase we trigger his attention and then he gets cautious I added

You are so smart bro He says with a thumbs up

But don't you think you are going to get his attention after all indie's father is known for his deep connection with the Scorpio's He said

That's why am not going to reveal her identity or expose her to the public,I just want people to know that am engaged I explained and he tsked

You truly are a genius He said and I dropped the comb,examining my look on the mirror.I was wearing a black tweed overcoat with a herringbone pattern,A black blazer underneath the overcoat A white dress shirt paired with a black tie and a black trouser that match the blazer.My long hair was tied in a sleek man bun with loose, textured strands framing the face.A sleek black Wristwatch and a simple silver ring completed with a polished black oxford shoe

You look dashing Leo Complimented

I know that I replied

You should at least be humble He said in a whiny voice

I don't need that,I just want to get the night over with I replied in a monotonous voice

You are so boring,You really need someone like indie in your life He said

She is someone I need to completes a mission nothing else I replied and he snorted

You are going to stay at home with Pearl,make sure you keep an eye on her I say and he sighed

Why do I always have to be the one watching over her,she is your sister not mine He say in a whiny voice and I glanced at him suddenly feeling angered

Fine,am leaving He said and dashed out

I checked the time on my phone and it was already 8pm,I checked my look again and feeling satisfied with it I went out.I opened the door to her room since I am not quite used to knocking but the room was empty and I decided that she was downstairs,as I approached the stairs,I heard laughters and chatters coming from the living room.

The first person I saw was indie,she kind of stood out and looked different,her hair which was quite long was parted to one side in voluminous waves and the dress she wore made my heart act in a way that was strange and new to me,the dress accentuated her curves and I couldn't take my eyes off her body,I had a sudden urge to pull her into my arms and do to her the wildest of things,I felt excited and I could feel it down in my crotch.Whenever I had s*x,it was just to release my frustrations and for distractions but right now I felt something different as my eyes roved around her body like a hungry hawk.

Leonardo's teasing cough pulled me out of my trance and that was when I realized that I was staring too much.The amused look on Pearl's and Leo's face plus the cocky smirk on Marcella's face irked me

Let's go I say in a monotonous voice

Have fun sis and bro be sure to keep your hands to yourself Pearl say with a teasing smile which caused me to glare at her

She start to walk towards the door taking slow and seductive steps and I had that same urge again ,I forced my self to look away and that was when I noticed Leonardo also staring at her and for some unknown reason it angered me,I glared at him and he just shrugged.

We soon arrived outside where a black SUV limousine was already waiting

Where are we going she asked after a while we had entered the car

What are we doing She asked again when I still didn't reply

Am making our engagement public I replied and her head snapped towards mine in surprise

You can't do that,my father's going to find out She said with her eyes wide making it even more hard to look at her,why does she have to be so f*****g hot

What if he does,it's not like he can do anything about it I replied as i adjusted in my seat

But--He--we never talked about making anything public She said

I make decisions and you only have to accept it I replied

Jerk She called and I turned to look at her,her brows were furrowed and her lips were pouted,my breath got stuck in my throat seeing her like that

I suddenly lean towards her,causing her to shift back abruptly

I have warned you against disrespecting me a lot of times Marcella I started and wrapped my hands around her neck softly bringing her face closer to mine,she shivered at my touch and seems to cower,her eyes holding something that looked like fear as she struggled to get away from me but I held her in place with my hands

You constant disrespect and witty remarks can cause you a lot and bring punishments to you,one you may not like I continued.She was breathing fast and I'd never thought I'd see fear in her eyes but right now she looked really scared,the strong look was still there but there were hints of fear in them and she looked really uncomfortable something I have always noticed whenever I have close contact with her.She was trying hard to get away from me,like she was scared of having contact with me.Noticing her change in demeanor,I released her and she immediately scooted away from me,curling into the farthest space in the seat.I went back to my seat feeling confused

What just happened
