The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter 81 Katrina's POV The halls were quieter now, most of i ast of the student students having already gone to other classes.

I clinched my books tightly, my mind racing with everything that had happened.

I couldn't focus. It was hand to do so at this point.

Silas' words, the look in his eyes when he had said I'd learn. It had sent thrills down my spine.

I just wanted to get through this day, but of course, that wasn't going to happen.

I could hear footsteps coming behindand I could tell someone was walking to catch up to"Katrina" 1 froze at the sound of my nand turned around to see Aiden walking toward me.

What does he want now? It seemed as if he didn't want to talk toearlier, so what was this now? And I didn't see the blondie with him, the one that stuck to him like glue.

I wasn't certain if I was still supposed to take him out, so I let it go.

His lips were pulled into a smile as he closed the distance between us, but it didn't ease the sudden tension in my chest.

1 "You wanted to talk toearlier?" he asked, tilting his head slightly as he stopped in front of me.

My throat went dry as I stared at him.

I had no idea what to say: Why had I even thought this was a good idea? Talking to him on the very first day, Uh, yeah... I did." He waited, his green eyes expectant as I scrambled for something to say.

I just.." I stuttered, feeling my cheeks heat up. "I, um.... I wanted to ask about the notes for the Last class.

The words tumbled out of my mouth, and I immediately regretted them. Notes? Really? ut at this point, I couldn't think of a better thing to say.

iden's lips curved into a small smile. "That's it? fell no. I wanted to lead you outside so my uncle, who is also my husband, could kidnap you.

ut that was too fucked up to say, and so I nodded quickly, trying to look anywhere but at him.

eah. That's it. And luckily for me, he bought the lie.

schuckled softly, shaking his head. "You're cute, you know that?" hatt 12:01 Thu, Nov 21 E E Chapter 81 My heart skipped at his words, but before I could respond, he gavea small wave. Tll see you around, Katrina." And just like that, he walked away, leavingstanding there, still chitching my books, confused as hell. Cute? He thought I was cute! But I didn't have tto dwell on that because I could feel the heavy gaze boring intofrom somewhere nearby. It just had to be him.

I tried to steady my breathing as I walked to the library, pretending not to notice Silas following me.

His footsteps were slow as he walked behindand far too close for comfort.

When I reached the empty corner of the Library, I spun around to face him, my heart pounding. "What do you want?" I asked, my voice barely steady.

He had followedall the way here, clearly he needed something.

Silas stepped closer, his eyes unreadable. "You know what I want, Katrina 66% My heart racing in my chest toldthat I did, but I just didn't want to think about it.

I swallowed hard, taking a step back, but he followed until my back hit the bookshelf.

"You Let him touch you earlier," he said, his voice low. It sent a shiver down my spine, remindingof all the dangerous things he does.

But why was he blamingfor that Aiden didn't even touchand I only talked to him because he askedto "That wasn't my fault," I shot back, anger mixing with my nerves.

"And I didn't let him." It just happened, I can't be blamed for someone spontaneously reaching out and touching me.

It's not like they would ask 'Can I touch you?' and my reply would be a no.

"You talked to him. His tone cut through my words and I resisted the urge to bash his head with a book.

"I talked to him because you toldto!" I groaned loudly, starting to find this annoying.

What kind of person was this and where did I find him? "He smiled at you You Let him call you cute." I froze. Of course, he'd seen that. Of course, he was watching.

Stalker.

Thinking about that. I didn't know what to feel at this point.

Silas's hand moved to my chin, tilting my face up to meet his eyes. "Do you know how that makesfeel, Katrina?" Chapter 81 Nov How did another man callingcute make him feel? I had an idea, but I didn't want to entertain his nonsense "I don't care," I whispered, though my voice betrayed me.

His Lips twitched into a smirk. "You should." 66 Before I could respond. Silas's hands gripped my waist, pullingcloser. My heart raced as he liftedslightly, settingon the small table behind me.

"Silas, what are you doing?" I whispered, glancing around nervously.

What if we get caught? I didn't want to get caught with a professor on my very first day.

That could be scandalous.

A girl calong, gasping lightly as she stopped close to ats, staring, Silas immediately pulledinto his chest, his hands placed at the back of my head as he heldin place. Being in this position, for sreason, madesmile. I was excited, and I didn't even know why. After a while, Silas pulledaway from his chest and I turned to the direction she was standing.

"No one's here." he murmured, his lips brushing against my ear. And even if they were, I wouldn't care." My breath hitched as his hands slid down my thighs, parting the effortlessly. His eyes locked onto mine, dark and full of hunger.

"Do you think I'll let you get away with this?" he asked, growling softly.
