2020-09-13 03:12:03AUTHOR'S POV
She was really staring at him looking like a statue, frozen in time. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked up at him after shaking her head."I was not staring at you.... I was just lost in my own thoughts". Sia looked away not wanting to look at him anymore. But Hardin's eyes were fixed on her while slowly drinking his wine, taking in her nervous posture. The way her breath was shaky. The way she didn't know where to keep her hands. He smirked taking another sip. It was amusing to him.Sia was nervous, feeling Hardin's unwavering gaze on her. He was the only man capable of making her nervous but she didn't know why she felt like this around him. Maybe because he was the only person who was able to look right through her, maybe because he was the person who knew her the best or maybe because she knew what he was truly capable of....destruction".Sia refused to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of her. She forced herself to look in his eyes again, "Look now who is staring at who" She pursed her lips, folding her arms on her chest, "And by the way I have asked you many times to not call me your wife"He had that same iciness in his eyes that always made Sia nervous, "I have all rights to stare at you and YOU ARE MY WIFE" His cold eyes not leaving Sia's dull for even a second, " The sooner you accept the reality the better it will be for everyone" Another sip.Bringing up this topic always made her furious, "Our so called marriage is just a contract Hardin, you should also remember that". Not even a hint of expressions betraying her emotions.Hardin felt the familiar chill running down his back that he felt when she called his name. His name sounded so sweet coming from her mouth. Hardin smirked, his lips turning up in that same devilish curve that Sia hated, " Yeah!!!... A contract, in which you signed your whole life to me". Hardin finally managed to hit the soft spot he thought. He loved teasing her.Sia understood what he was trying to do, "Yeah!!! A contract in which I signed my whole life to you.... I often regret it but I can't do anything about it now, can I?".That was checkmate. It was Sia's turn to smirk.An unrecognizable emotion flashed in Hardin's eyes that confused Sia, but before she could comprehend what it was, his face went back to the usual blank mask, "This conversation is going to go nowhere, so it's better if we drop it".Sia knew it was useless so she decided to drop it as well. There is no use digging out old graves,"Why--". Sia started but Hardin replied even before she could ask the question. "Why did I wanted to meet right? I called you here because, you will accompany me to a party tonight".Sia looked at him with a poker refusing face without moving from her spot, "You know you gave me a year. You can't ask me to accompany you anywhere. People don't know we are married.... They might take me as some of your whores". Sia refused him straight away as people didn't know about their marriage except for some like Louis.She paused remembering something else as well, "And besides you promised me something! The day you will fulfill your promise will be the day when I will be yours forever as you always indirectly call it".Hardin stared at her, "I didn't ask if you wanted to come or not. I said you WILL accompany me to a party tonight...." Hardin stepped forward with the glass in his left hand, but he was still an arms length away from her, "Now baby, You are going to go to the guest room in the east wing, where your dress and makeup artist is waiting for you and then you are going to get ready and come with me". He ordered her not giving in to her protests at all.Him calling her BABY always made her feel weird. Her heart was beating faster than usual but she was Sia. She was stubborn and a rebel, " I won't do everything you ask me to do...I am not your doll" A frown was adorning her flawless forehead, defying him confidently.Hardin took a few more steps towards her until he was just a breath away. She could raise her hand and touch him, but she knew she would never do it again.He raised his hand to take a string of hair from her face and placed it behind her ear. The closeness was making her heart beat faster, her mind reliving the old memories. Looking in her eyes, his eyes softened. His voice dropped down a few octaves, turning into sweet whisper that made her breath hitch, "You are going to do everyting I ask of you..... You don't have a choice. You have already sold your soul to a devil like me. It's no use fighting me anymore".Poisonous words wrapped into sweet tone, that was what it was for Sia. For a moment, she was stunned by the same soft look in his eyes. The same look that always made her feel warm, "I...I" She stuttered because he was too close and she couldn't focus on anything but his eyes. That's why she didn't want to look in them.
Hardin was successful in getting the desired reaction out of her. He knew her weakness well. He slowly caressed her face, his fingers going from her forheard to her red cheeks finally finding their destination at her lips. He caressed her lower lip, "Get ready.... I will be waiting for you!" His tone was soft as his eyes. He retracted his hand and shook his head stepping away from her and then leaving.Sia was frozen on her spot finally realizing that she has been holding her breath. She breathed heavily and turned around. But he was not there anymore.Sia knew he was successful in manipulating her again. He knew well how to use her weakness against her. She shook her thoughts and went towards the room knowning she doesn't have a choice but to do what he wanted for now. She was also thinking about the rumours that were going to spark after they will be spotted together tonight....

LIFE OF LIES DEMAND...
SIA'S POVI was walking towards the elevator, while everyone was greeting me. I was ignoring all of them and just heading straight, the same stoic expressions present on my face. I was supposed to go to the meeting room where all the directors, shareholders and investors were waiting for me patiently.What am I doing here when I took 3 days off, you all must be thinking.After that little moment with Mrs. De'souza, I went to my room to lock myself up like I always did, when I wanted to hide from the world. My right hand instantly went to the only thing that could comfort me me at a like this, to the place where my heart pendant was supposed to be. But there was no pendant around my neck. I again remembered painfully, that I lost my precious heart pendant. That was the only thing I had on me, when I was left at the orphanage. I guess I was bound to lose everything. I sighed,
LIFE OF LIES MOTHERLY AFFECTION...
SIA'S POVSunlight was peeking in from the door length windows in my room, giving the signal that it's morning already. I was still sitting with my back against the side of my queen size bed, looking blankly at the wall in front of me. My eyes were swollen but void of any kind of emotion now. People failed to undertand me.They thought my eyes were cold, but that was not true. My eyes were dead, just like my dead heart. I often had to place my hand on my heart to assure myself, that it was still beating and I was still alive. But knowing that I was still alive, was more painful. I had to endure everything and still stay alive. It my cruel fate.I looked down at my hands. People said that the lines on your hands can describe, what is in your fate, but the lines on my hand have always been so dull. I guess it's true then. I smirked sadly.I heard a knock at my door and glanced towards it, sighing. It was time to go back to my usual s
LIFE OF LIES HOUSE OR HOME...
I was roaming around in the garden with slow steps looking at the sky, while closing my eyes from time to time inhaling the fresh air. My heels were hanging in my right hand. After getting my nerves under control, I thought everything through. I know whats going to happen now, I must be prepared.I took a last long breath and finally decided to go find Hardin. I wanted him to send me to my house.I didn't know that someone was watching me the whole time. Just as I turned around, I almost bumped into someone with a familiar scent. God knows how long he has been here. He sometimes scares the hell out of me. My hand was placed at my heart trying to calm it down.I lazily looked up at him with startled eyes but, covered it up immediately with a cough, "I want to go home" I directly got to the point avoiding eye contact with him. I didn't want to confront him about what he did today because, I knew it was going to be in vain.
LIFE OF LIES SHOCKED...
SIA'S POVIts been an hour we have been to this party. People were everywhere, giving me side looks being cautious of me. Hardin after causing the little drama left me standing there all alone making me feel more horrible. Only God knows where he went, I spent an hour looking for him but still couldn't find him. I didn't saw George either which was good, but suspicious as well because he was the host of the party. He was supposed to be the most noticeable here, but he was not even present. His wife was greeting everyone and was apologizing on his behalf. She seemed like a good woman. After finally giving up on finding Hardin and worrying about what he is going to do, I decided to relax and let the events unfold.I went to the bar that was in the corner of the hall and sat down on the stool. My back was facing the crowd now.I grabbed an already opened wine bottle and poured
LIFE OF LIES PARTY...
My heart beat was fast drumming in my ears.Dear heart what's wrong with you Don't act like this please. I looked down where my heart is and then looked up making weird faces not knowing that Hardin was trying to stop himself from laughing at my overdramatic acts.It was an hour ride. We finally landed at some mansion's helicopter hangar. Hardin stepped out and turned towards me raising his hand for me to take. I looked at his hand and then his waiting face. So much for being a gentleman, I thought and rolled my eyes stepping down on my own. I always embarass myself like this, when I stepped down I tripped again. This time Hardin pulling me up by my arms. I wanted the Earth to split up and swallow me whole. I embarassingly looked up at him who was smirking at me. I looked down and sighed, not again!" Do you like being in my arms that much, that you keep falling?!" Here he goes again. I hate him. I retracted
LIFE OF LIES BEAUTIFUL...
SIA'S POV:Awestruck would be an uderstatemnet if I say that's what I felt after seeing the dress. To say that it was the most beautiful and elegant black dress I have ever seen in my life would be least of the praise. I also took notice that black was my only favourite colour. After trying my hardest to look away from the dress, I noticed the makeup artist standing by front of the dressing mirror. I looked at her and she greeted me quite enthusiastically, " Miss Sia! It's so nice to see you in person.... I am Natalia your makeup artist for today. If you hurry up and wear the dress I will get your makeup and hair finished within time" She was talking like a robot and smiling at me.Ugh! She is too cheesy! I thought, grabbed the dress and went towards the dressing room ignoring her all the way. When I turned around to close the dressing room's door behind me, I saw her coming inside as well. She was so annoying. I almost wanted to ask her
