Sinfully Yours by Mirah Selim (sites to read books for free TXT) 📖

"I-I just wanted to come." Cyrus raised his eyebrows before a small mischievous smirk appeared over his lips. He walked extremely near her leaning his head down to her face level.

"Did you miss me?" Hazel unconsciously scoffed.

"Why would I? " Cyrus's smirk widened hearing her bold words. He has to admit she behaves more naturally when acting like a wife.

She gasped out in surprise when he grabbed her waist and pulled her near him. She held his biceps looking up at him. His mischievous smirk was nowhere to be seen anymore instead there was a small smile on his lips. He held his hand to her cheek softly caressing it.

"But I missed you." He whispered giving a soft smooch over her left eye.

She looked at him with one eye closed as he leaned back smiling at her. Soon their small moment got interrupted by the knock over the door. Cyrus took a frustrated breath.

"WHO THE FUCK IS IT?" She flinched in his arms at his sudden roar.

"S-Sir I am sorry but Mr. Fredrick wants to m-meet you before leaving." He heard his secretary's shaky voice and was ready to burst out on him for disturbing him when Hazel squeezed his bicep.

"Hey, it's ok. It's not his fault he's just doing his work." Cyrus rolled his eyes.

"But he fucking disturbed us!" She gulped.

"He has no fault. If he wouldn't have informed you, I am sure you would have been angry at him for not informing you. And now he did you're still angry. It's not his fault he's just doing his job." Cyrus looked at her before sighing.

Stepping away from her he looked at the door with a hard gaze. "Come in!" His slightly trembling secretary entered the office looking at the floor. Cyrus glared at him.

"Send him in." His secretary blinked in surprise when the beast didn't kill him off. He instantly ran out to call Mr. Fredrick. In a minute the old man appeared looking anxious as well.

"I am deeply sorry Mr. Sylvester but I forgot to give you an invitation to the project party this Sunday. Please do come." Cyrus's gaze didn't change but getting a pleading look from Hazel he sighed out.

"Next time you better wrap up everything in the meeting." The man bowed nodding his head.

" Yes yes, I am really sorry Mr. Sylvester." Cyrus took a deep breath.

"Now, get out." The old man didn't have to be told twice before running out. While Hazel smiled secretly. Not much progress but at least a little.

She could see how hard it was for him to not beat the shit out of his secretary and the old man but for her, he did try to control himself and that meant a lot. She grabbed the lunch box and walked near him.

"Here I made the sandwiches you liked." Cyrus's anger faded right away after hearing her words. He hummed grabbing the box.

Hazel stared at him as he started eating the sandwiches while reading something on the computer. She bit her lower lip feeling anxious. She didn't want to anger him more but she knew he needed to know this.

"Creed told me we have to go to meet the---"

"Psychiatrist at 6 pm. I know." She sighed out in relief when he didn't burst out on her instead he already had an idea about it. She was surprised to see how calm he looked about this matter.

"You want to ask me something?" He said as he felt her gaze over him for the longest time. It was obvious she was fighting within herself.

"N-No." He gulped the last piece down before averting his eyes away from the computer screen and looking at her with a calculative gaze.

"What is it, sweetheart?" His voice wasn't soft or sweet anymore. It was firm and hard asking her to try and deny it.

"Uhmm M-My mother. I know you said she's alright but I just missed her and wanted to meet her. It's been nearly a year since I didn't see her I am just worried for her." She said everything in one breath dropping her eyes on the table when Cyrus stared at her with a blank gaze.

She fiddled with her fingers in nervousness when he didn't say anything just kept his intense gaze over her. She knew she shouldn't have asked this after all he had told her that when her mother will wake up he will take her to meet her but still she was missing her mother too much.

"She's alright." His deep voice finally echoed in the room making her look at him.

"She's doing great don't worry." Sadness filled her veins as she knew indirectly he refused her request for meeting her mother and there must be a reason behind it.

Cyrus stared at her for some time before sighing out and standing up from the seat. He walked near her. "Come." She looked up at him finding him holding his hand out for her to grab.

"Come I have to show you something." She gulped slowly placing her tiny hand in his large one. He clutched her hand and made her stand up from the seat.

She flinched in surprise when he walked near the book cupboard in his office and removed one book from the highest shelf. Only a person as tall as him could reach that book. Her eyes widened when the cupboard opened revealing the dark cold room.

Hazel leaned closer to him in fear. She clutched his coat making him chuckle. He almost dragged the scared kitten behind him as she wasn't really moving ahead because of fear. Soon she shut her eyes off when the lights of the room got switched on.

The whole room got lighten up with bright lights. She slowly opened her eyes and found a large screen in front of her. Cyrus forcefully removed her hands from his coat as she was clawing at him in dread.

He grabbed the remote from the table and switched on the screen. Her eyes turned teary when she saw the video playing on it.

Her mother.
