4: Spice

Mila was sitting on the chair reading newspapers about her and Zandro causing her to smile. She was living in Caleb's mansion but soon she'll leave here to continue living at Zandro's mansion to pretend again to be his loving and innocent wife.

"If it weren't for my sister, I really don't want that guy to touch me. He'd have already died now, well, I could but it will not be fun anymore if he won't feel suffering like the way he did to my sister." She was talking about Zandro as she looked at his handsome face. Her hands touch the picture of Zandro at the newspaper then tear it apart and throw it away from her. "Boys."

A knock from the door caused Mila to move her eyes to look at the door. "Ma'am Mila, a human-size bouquet came from Sir Zandro Prosch and was delivered here. What should we do to it?" the maid asks listening behind the door for Mila's response.

"Bring it here in my room." The maid immediately follows her order and dashes to the main gate to tell them that they can bring it inside. "So that leech was now taking his move?" she spoke and drew a grin on her face.

Moments later, a human-sized bouquet was put in Mila's room causing her eyes to widen as she couldn't believe that it was really a size of a human. The flowers are full of pink roses as her sister loves pink roses but it is not to her taste. Mila wanted a dark red rose that is close to the color of blood but it doesn't matter anymore. She will just throw away the pink roses right away. She doesn't want to have anything to keep that come from Zandro.

Mila walks closer when she notices something in the bouquet. It was a letter, handwritten by Zandro. She opened the card and read what was in it. Her eyes thinned after reading it, Zandro was inviting her for dinner tomorrow evening and that he would wait for her response tonight. "Bold of him to say that. He wanted me to answer right away. What if I reject it?" she speaks and closes the card when she senses that Caleb will be heading into her room.

He knocks at the door first before entering. All of the maids and other staff were leaving right after Caleb entered the room. "From Zandro?" Caleb asks pointing at the bouquet and wandering his eyes around it.

"Yes, I didn't think he'd do it right away," Mila said and gave the card to Caleb. He read it and and gave it back to Mila immediately with a serious face causing Mila to laugh and gently put the card on the table. "You feel jealous?"

Caleb looks away and just takes one of the pink roses, smelling it before speaking. "No. Why would I?" he replied. Caleb stared at the pink roses thinking. He knows that even though both of them have already done something that a best friend should not do, he can't tell that he is jealous of Zandro as he and Mila don't have any relationship but are just best friends with benefits.

"I will accept the invitation so I will be having dinner with you tomorrow night. Luckily I won't be busy tomorrow, what happened to the company anyway? I want to take it back from Draco's family right away and will be the one to manage it," she said as she sat on her bed looking at Caleb's muscular body.

Caleb turned to face her and cut the rose stem into half and walked closer to Mila. Putting the rose in her ear before speaking. "You will be getting it after a week. I am also already preparing the papers to make it yours. Don't worry, I will also try my best to do it as fast as I can." He then sits beside Mila looking at the human-sized bouquet.

"Thank you, Caleb," Mila speaks and smiles at him. She touches Caleb's hands causing him to look at her and smiles as well.

"My pleasure. I want to help and to exchange what did Mr. and Mrs. Nevaille for me. It wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to climb high like this," he said with a serious face.

"Why a serious face, Caleb? You are not like that," Mila speaks and giggles as she plays Caleb's fingers. "Remembering I always did this to you when we were children? Together with Alexia and Mila. I miss those days," she said as she continued to play his fingers.

"We were too innocent at that time. No knowledge about reality, huh? I too didn't think you would become an assassin, Kira. You're too silent but intelligent. I thought you wanted to become a teacher?" Caleb asks causing Mila to laugh.

"Being an assassin is a much more adventurous and thrilling job than doing papers, Caleb. That is what I want," she replied as she intertwined her fingers with his and looked at Caleb's face. "But I kind of regret it as well. Because of my job, I wasn't able to check my sister regularly. I didn't think her life was miserable with Zandro. I keep on sending her messages of how is her relationship with Zandro but she just keeps on giving me fake responses. I am dumb," she added.

Caleb put his other hand on Mila's face and touched her cheeks gently. "Don't say that yourself. It was not your fault at all. It was Zandro's fault, he is the reason why your sister died. Not you," he speaks trying to calm Mila. She smiles and touches Caleb's hand on her cheeks and whispers thank you.

Caleb blushed and smiled at her as both of them moved their faces closer. When their lips now touch, they slowly move their lips to kiss each other as their tongues are fighting inside. Their other hands are still intertwined as they keep on kissing. Caleb slowly pushes Mila in order to be laid on the bed as they have finally felt the heat because of their kisses. He immediately removes his shirt and continues what they were doing earlier, touching each other's body while kissing.

"Such a good girl," Caleb speaks with a smile looking at Mila's blushing face.
