253 How powerful is Darius?

Still nothing.

My eyes thinned when I turned to the person and as soon as a familiar set of purple eyes stared back at me, I stilled. My heartbeat picked up speed.

The line behind me was growing longer too with each passing second, but not just that, they were also becoming very agitated.

A blush spread across my checks at this realization and as my heart pounded in my chest, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d been robbed. If this was some voodoo shit. Hell, a million and one thoughts crossed my mind as I continued to slap on the pockets of

my coat.

But it was already hurting! How the hell does he not know that?

“You… me.” He drawled, and with a lower voice, added; “us.”

I folded my arms across my chest and began to walk towards the entrance but just as I tried to open the door, it wouldn’t budge. It slammed shut and held, making it

impossible for me to open.

And that should be fine, right?

He smiled, “nice to meet you, cupcake!”

He pulled me carefully behind his back and leaned forward to pay for the snacks even though I’d told him not to, then he tipped the girl so much, her frown disappeared instantly and was replaced with the brightest smile I’ve seen today.

I pinched my eyes together in embarrassment and took in a deep breath, and now, after telling myself that there were no other ways around this and that it was best I leave before I embarrassed myself even further, I returned my purse to my side and sighed.

Leilani.

My eyes darted around just then to notice that a few people were watching, and they were looking at me like I was some dummy. Then I turned to Darius, knowing that this was all him, and hissed coldly; “I need to leave.”

The girl didn’t respond to me right away, but her gaze said everything her lips couldn’t. She snorted, whispered something about how typical this whole scenario was, but just as I was about to thank her despite her coldness and leave, a familiar warmth crept in

from my side and a voice I knew I wasn’t expecting to hear- especially now- said from beside me;

When our eyes met this time, there was no hiding the anger and disdain in hers, and that made me acutely embarrassed. I hissed; “Well, you can take these pastries and shove them up your tiny bitchy ass! And while you’re at it, you can wipe off that ugly green eyeshadow that makes you look so hideous!”

His words for some reason filled me with more annoyance than gratitude so I shook my head again. “No.”

But I was no cupcake. Heck, it didn’t feel nice to meet him either!

I shouldn’t bother with him now that he’s going away, right? RIGHT?

I frowned. “What do you want to talk about?”

The

way he said that word; ‘us’ rubbed off on me the wrong way and I frowned in disgust, hating myself for even giving him audience in the first place as I spat;

Their unfiltered words were beginning to get into my ears and even their scornful laughters were clawing at that dark entity inside of me which has been waiting for the perfect moment to snap.

However, deciding to keep that thought to myself, I turned away and shook my head, my voice cold as I quickly said; “No need to pay for me. I was just leaving.”

Why?

He said softly; “Nothing that should hurt you. but don’t fight it. It’ll hurt when you do!”

Because for some odd reason, there was no cash in there and I could swear that I’d seen some twenty and hundred dollar notes in my purse before I left the office building.

But then a minute turned into two minutes… then more minutes passed and I still couldn’t find my money yet. Goddess, even my cards were gone!

The fact that Darius only chuckled.

“Madam, in case you haven’t noticed, there’s a long queue standing behind you, so you either agree to allow this gentleman to pay for you or you leave.” The cashier hissed and this time, I swear I couldn’t help the shocked gasp that slipped past my lips. 1

“I’ll pay for the damsel.”

“I am sorry I cannot get them anymore. I can’t find my money.”

But I’d rather eat the cashier’s obviously unwashed hair than follow him anywhere! I spat; “Darius.”

“I still want them.” I said, “give me a minute!”

“And baby, I have been watching you for the past five… or is it ten minutes? I know you want those pastries so badly so stop trying to be unreasonably difficult.”

And do you know what was more infuriating?

“And I need to talk to you.” He hissed back coldly, causing the hairs at the back of my neck to stand on end.

She gasped.

I tried to speak but it felt like my tongue was glued to the roof of my mouth and tears leaked out from the corners of my eyes when I tried to fight against this strange hold only to be met with an excruciating pain tearing at the back of my skull.

I thought I couldn’t be compelled so what the hell is he doing to me? Goddesss, what the fuck is happening to me now?

My fingers shook with panic as I fumbled with my purse like a mad woman. And even though this matter wasn’t one worth crying for, I couldn’t help the continuous sting by the corners of my eyes or the way my heart raced with apprehension and embarrassment.

So

y the fuck I began to follow him like a puppet? Tell me why it felt as as being compelled as my feet dragged one after the other behind him?

not a request, Lani. It’s an order.” He hissed quietly and with that, began to walk

away.

I didn’t know why she was being this hostile to me but it was getting at me. Real bad.

What are you doing to me? I thought to myself. And to my utmost horror, Darius turned to look at me then. He didn’t open his mouth but I could hear his voice- in my
