355–That Night With Silas!
Nora:
Nash took things too far when he asked me to move back with them. In fact, he even made a statement that he thought my life still revolved around him and that is why I was with Brody? huh! and his apology! Just one sentence, and he thought I would forget all about their actions?
I felt anger simmer for as long as I sat in front of him. But I didn’t lose my composure and kept a smile on my lips, determined not to give him the satisfaction of seeing me suffer because of them any longer.
I had to step away and went straight to the kitchen where Mrs. Fisher and the other maids were working. The minute they saw me, they gasped but then began eyeing me with disdain.

“Look at her, she didn’t miss the chance to dress up,” a maid whispered from the side. I turned to face her, and her expression darkened as she met my glare.
“When have I ever come out naked?” I raised my brown, sarcastically giving her a closed lip smile.
“Say it to my face,” I insisted, my eyes flashing with threat.
As expected, she looked down and fidgeted nervously with her fingers. She wouldn’t dare confront me, not after seeing me take down a mutant monster from the woods.

I knew I had to turn around, so I did and watched as Silas observed the maids leaving. Once they were gone, he turned to me, and I straightened my back and gave him a confident smile.
“Nora!” His voice softened, reminding me of the night we were together before he fled the pack like a coward.
“Hi, wow! You’ve let your hair grow so much?” I acted nonchalant, causing him to momentarily lose his composure. He touched his hair and smiled before he quickly gulped to drag himself back to reality.
“Huh?” He shook his head, then gulped. “I need to talk to you.”
“Sure, we’re talking,” I giggled at his awkwardness, tilting my head and maintaining eye contact.
I’ve learned how to mask my true feelings. I could be smiling on the surface, but deep down, I was filled with anger and hatred for the person in front of me.
“That night when we felt the mate bond-” Before he could delve into that topic, I knew I had to cut him off. He had no right to come back and bring up that subject after being told I was happily married now.
