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

Night fell and Hazel stared out of the window with anticipated eyes. She leaned her face closer to the glass window measuring the height. She knew if she jumped out of it she will break her bones. This place can't be used for her escape she needs to find some other place.

She flinched coming out of her daze hearing a knock on the door. She gulped closing her eyes. If she's this much scared at the lightest noise then how will she face that barbarian if she got caught.

She vigorously shook her head pushing the negative thoughts out of her head. She walked towards the door opening it. Her eyes met with the familiar man who came to give her Cyrus's black card once.

"Mam." He extended his hand keeping his eyes away from her. He was smarter than to even look at the woman who has become something more to his boss.

And all of his men knew when Cyrus becomes obsessed with something he never lets anyone even eye it till he himself threw it away. And this time it wasn't something. It was a woman. An innocent yet oblivious woman who can't see what she's doing to their boss.

She grabbed the phone remembering his words and the man leaned beside the door letting her close the door. She knew he must be waiting for her to end the call and give him the phone back.

"Hello." She hesitantly put the phone on her ear mumbling softly earning a huge exhale of breath from another side.

Cyrus leaned his back on the chair staring at the vast window of his office. He had been working all day having not even a second for himself. But even after being hectically busy, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about her.

"How are you darling?" He asked signing out wanting to cuddle her small figure against his.

"I am good." He hummed waiting for her to ask him but who he was kidding! She will never ask him how he is?

"What were you doing?" He questioned moving his chair in rounds.

"Nothing." She replied in her soft voice which never failed to take his breath away at how sweet it sounded.

"I had a busy day but I missed you." Hazel's eyes widened at his words. Her body went numb for a second before she came back to reality hearing his next words.

"Did you miss me?" Hazel blinked a few times pulling the phone away from her ear. She stared at the screen for a few seconds before again putting it on her ear.

"Are you drunk?" Suddenly her ear got filled with his laugh.

Cyrus knew why she asked him such a question but it still felt so funny to him for no reason. He laughed a little before looking at the window with smiley glowing eyes.

"I am perfectly sober, sweetheart. And can't I miss my woman." He said making her gulp down but she still said nothing.

His smiley eyes suddenly met with the mirrored wall letting him have a sight of his face. His smile faded away and a glow got replaced with painful darkness in a second. His face turned utterly blank as he stared at his reflection still holding the phone in his ear.

"Sleep. It's late. Good night." He mumbled making her frown at his sudden change of voice. He hung up the call still not moving his eyes away from his sight.

He stood up from the chair placing the phone on the table before walking towards the mirrored wall. His whole body came to view but his eyes didn't change. He stared at himself in pure grief.

His hand went up as he softly touched the small scar on his forehead extremely near his hairline. It is really difficult to see that cut scar, only if a person focuses on his face then it could come to sight. But Cyrus didn't need to focus it was always there. In his memory.

"What a pity!" He whispered narrowing his eyes at his reflection.

"I can't rid of you." He murmured turning his face away from the wall before shutting his eyes.

"No! You are perfect Cyrus. Yes, you are." He said to himself shaking his head before walking back to his chair and this time he push a button under the table letting dark curtains cover the mirrored wall.

On the other hand, Hazel handed the phone back to the man and started working on her plan. She grabbed her bag and surprisingly Ana was there.

Ana told her about a secret door behind the mansion. Yes, the guards were there too but there were no cameras as that exit is mostly used by only Cyrus's bad deeds. Ana helped her to reach it and even stole the key from Sophia to get Hazel out.

After that, it was in Hazel's hands how she will make it out of the abandoned garden and this city. She exited the back door and hid behind a large tree when one guard turned around.

She stayed behind it for a few minutes before grabbing a huge stone and throwing it across the place diverting the guard's attention. To her luck, only two guards were present there.

One went to see the place where she threw the stone and the other's back was facing her. She grabbed a huge fat stick of wood walking behind him. She glanced at the guard who got disappeared to the place from where the noise came.

The guard sensed her presence turning around and taking a chance she slammed the wood where the sun doesn't shine making him groan loudly falling on his knees.

She didn't waste a second and ran out of the gate. The guard started yelling for the others and she knew many men of Cyrus started following her. She hardly made out of the abandoned garden running towards the alley hiding behind the huge trashcan.

She covered her lips breathing heavily hearing the rapid footsteps of the men. They luckily walked past the trashcan and suddenly she saw Creed talking on the phone.

To her surprise, he motioned his men to stop looking and get back. She frowned in confusion when Creed also left the place but what she didn't notice was him glancing at the trash can before he disappeared from there.

She stayed on the same spot for an hour to make sure they wouldn't come back. A wide smile appeared on her face when she realized she succeeded.
