Elia lay in bed, staring blankly at the pale purple ceiling. Samuel and Eros had left the villa, and she was the only one in the house.
Maybe it was that silence and aloneness that brought many thoughts into her mind. The first one was a doubt. 'Will I be really able to survive here?'
This place filled her with nothing but fear and uncertainty. The semblance of normal conversation turned into chaotic madness in the blink of an eye. Eros...just remembering that guy made her shudder.
She must stay away from him from now on. A clear boundary should be drawn by her. No small talk, no polite smiles, or even a greeting. Elia would do nothing in front of Eros from now on. She just wished he would soon find his chosen mate and leave her alone.
The other two were not a problem. Samuel was professional; she could see that he was trying his best to abide by the contract. And as for Asheron? That guy didn't even talk or look at her. Good. It should be like this from now on.
