Mated

"Please, I beg you, don’t take my life. I can offer you money, anything you want. Just please don’t kill me, I’m begging you!" His voice was weak and trembling, laced with desperation and despair.

As he looked up at his captor, terror filled his wide eyes, reflecting a soul hanging by a thread. He knew that each passing moment was crucial, and with a shaky breath, he continued to plead, his desperate voice echoing in the dimly lit room. "I don’t want to die! Just let me go, and I swear I will do whatever you ask. I can pay you handsomely. Please, I promise.

 .......The place he was seemed like a prison. With the non-stop squeaking of rats, the scattered skeletons that seemed like human body parts, the awful smell, the rough floor, the concrete wall and ceiling made of hard brick, the thick rod gate planted in the entrance of the prison, and all the other empty prisons. The place would be best described as an underground prison.

 After hours of non-stop touring, screaming, and pleading, the entrance to the prison opened, revealing two Gigantic men in black suits. They both have this Aura that screams danger, especially the one in front. Seeing this men the bruised man who was beaten to the pulp and unable to speak began trembling in horror

 "M.......y  lord." The bruised man stammered in a weak tone, "Please.. show mercy, My lord please just this once spare me".

   Both men just stood there like statues, staring at the scene without uttering a word. After long minutes of silence from both men, the one in front finally spoke.

"Kill him and his entire family no one should be spared," he said in a cold  nonchalant tone, while he left,  adjusting his suit tie,  and the other man followed from behind.

      It was 7:00 on  Tuesday morning silver tiredly got up from bed, and headed to the bathroom for a long hot, steaming, bath, After washing up she got dressed, made her way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Silver was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, when she heard footsteps from the sitting room approaching the entrance of the kitchen which was clearly Simon

"Hey silv, Good morning" Simon greeted smiling brightly because of the amazing aroma he perceived.

"Simon, how many times do you have to be reminded to use the doorbell?" Silver scolded.

"Silv don't stress yourself, you literally know I'm never going to use the doorbell not when I know the passcode in."

Silver sighs in frustration she blamed herself for not changing the passcode

"Silver just look at this place it's amazing from the colors to the house decor it looks really nice I must say," Simon commented obviously surprised

"Maybe, I should just move in with you" Simon teased

"Please don't. If you still love me, and you don't want Tessa to kill me, and have my head for breakfast." Silver joked making  Simon chuckle.

"Anyway what's a soon-to-be-married man doing in my house at 7:30 in the morning" Silver asked with curiosity in her tone

"I came to see what you've done with your new place and also pay you a surprise visit"

Simon lied knowing fully well that silver could detect whenever he lied

  "Ah, I see! Well, I must say, I absolutely adore surprises," Silver exclaimed, his voice dripping with a vivid hint of sarcasm. "So, I take it that skipping the use of the doorbell is yet another clever decision, huh?" The playful tone in her words contrasted sharply with the frown that quickly spread across Simon’s face. It was evident that Silver’s teasing nature wasn't sitting well with Simon.

"Dude, come on! Seriously, if you really don’t want me to come over, you could just be honest and let me know instead of leaving me in the dark," Simon remarked, his tone tinged with a note of frustration. He attempted to adopt a victimized posture.

Silver released a loud sigh of defeat"Okay I'm sorry,  these no need for the emotional blackmail."

"But seriously, do you always have to be a pain in the ass?" Silver asked.

"To you, yes." Simon joked smiling making silver roll her eyes at him

"With the amazing aroma coming out of this food, it looks like someone slept wonderfully."

"I wIsHHH..." Silver said yawning. "honestly I can't remember the last time I had a good night's sleep."

"Silv  I've told you quite that job of yours, become a model." Simon simply said trying to convince Silver for the tenth time. 

Simon is a tall slender handsome guy, ocean blue eyes, heart-shaped lips, just name it. He used to be a well-known male model. Through the influence of Tessa's father, his now one of the youngest CEOs of one of the biggest modeling agencies in the country.

"Simon no thanks. I love my job and  I'm very good at what I do." Silver stated feeling proud of her job

"If you say so, at least I tried my best to convince you."

"I really do appreciate you looking out for me, but I love my job. It's that June and her accomplices are in on frustrating me." Saying their names alone made Silver annoyed and angry

"You know Simon, if I didn't know better I would say they are jealous of me."

Simon scoffed "Sist with those, big black eye balls, milky black skin, curly blond hair, pretty face, and an amazing body shape of yours why won't they be?"

"Simon. When I talked about jealousy, what I meant was my promotion not whose more prettier. Besides you can't possibly expect them to be jealous of me."

"firstly you're more talented than them bitches, secondly you're way prettier, so they have every right to be jealous of you.

Silver am telling you if you quit your job and become a model to you're gonna go big." Simon said the last word snapping his finger in the air.

Silver points at the cardboard for Simon to get a plate and spone "Simon has told you, modeling is not for me. Besides I have pride too you know, accepting your offer when I know Tessa hates it when you do stuff for me, and I know for sure she's gonna go crazy, when she finds out you paid the rent to my new apartment."

Simon and his psycho of a mate Tessa are engaged and are getting married a month from now.

"Silv why can't you and Tessa learn to get along, you know you're the only family you've got, "Simon spoke softly

Silver made her way to the small dining table in the corner, a small space in the kitchen entrance with three chairs and a medium-sized table

"Simon, you know I don't have a problem getting along with Tessa, she just doesn't like me around you."

Simon dropped both food on each person's side of the table.

"I understand you're both wolves and you're supposed to be protective of each other, but that doesn't mean she needs to behave like  I'm going to snatch you away." Silver stated   feeling a bit annoyed because she was really getting tired of Tessa's attitude

"Tessa is a loveable person. I promise that if you get to know her you will fall in love with her." Simon said putting a spoonful of food in his mouth

"Silver...." Simon called with seriousness in his tone..

"Hmmmm." She swallowed and answered.

"There is something I need to discuss with you ???." He said leaning back slightly his face buried in his food.

"Okay..." Silver answered filling her mouth with food.

"This Friday Tessa would be picking a dish  for our wedding," Simon glanced at Silver's face, to see her expression before he continues "so I was thinking if you could

If you could  help out since you are a good cook ."

"Silver immediately burst out laughing the minute she heard Simon's last words."

"Simon you know you're supposed to be a,  you're very good at making silly jokes." She said laughing her head off

Silver stopped laughing when she saw the serious expression on his face which meant Simon was dead serious

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Silv please ."

Silver sips from her class of water "For Christ sakes what gives you the idea that Tessa would want me helping her?"

"We already spoke about it she is willing to let you help without giving you a hard time ."

"I'm sorry but I just can't. Tessa literally hates  me and I also hate her guts."

Simon knows Silver to be a very difficult person to convince, luckily for him, he knows just the right word to get agree.

"Silver think of this as an opportunity, for you and Tessa to get to know each other more. I really want you and her to get along."

Simon says sincerely, praying and hoping in his mind that Silver will agree.

His words got Silver thinking, after hours of preaching, Silver agreed, making Simon beam with excitement.
