It's Was Her.

Aslan had frozen, Elianna smiled gazing back at him.

"Don't mind me, go on " she muttered.

He breathed blinking away his trace the moment he saw her smile.

"You feel better?" he asked.

She breathed breaking away from his gaze for a moment and then looking back.

"Am sorry about earlier... I...lost control and hurt you" she said.

He chuckled.

"I deserved it " he touched the side of his face she had slapped.

"Does it still hurt?" she asked.

With the worry in her voice, Aslan felt all the fear of losing her from earlier disappear.

"A little..but am okay. I was more worried about you". he said.

He froze when she suddenly leaned forward touching his face...on the spot of his cheek she had slapped.

"It's still a little red...am sorry " she voiced.

He blinked gazing at her up close. Elianna realised she was too close and backed away instantly.

He smiled.

"Thanks don't worry it will heal," he said.

"Mmm," she leaned back.

"Am sorry too about what I said...if it triggered anything painful " he said.

She nodded. "Thanks".

He smiled.

Elianna smiled back.

"So about what you were saying earlier...can I hear more?" she said.

"I only said all that 'cause I thought you were asleep...but now you're staring at me and I can't say anything now ". He muttered.

Elianna laughed, Aslan smiled watching her beam. He was glad she was feeling better.

"Come on mister stalker...I want to hear more " she said.

"Just forget about it..and I am not a stalker. I barely followed you around. It's not my fault you didn't notice me " he said.

"Huh...so now it's my fault that you stalker," she said.

"Maybe...but I wasn't stalking you ".

"Mmm, then what do you think you were doing?"

"I was..." he broke meeting her gaze.

Elianna's eyes fluttered.

"Something wrong?" she asked.

"Marry me please?!" he yelled.

Elianna gasped, he was still serious about that.

"Yes, I know you don't know me and I sound like am joking. But am not...a very serious about it " he said.

Elianna yawned and leaned back into bed.

"Am feeling sleepy now... let's talk more tomorrow " she muttered.

He was left there in silence. She didn't seem to believe him at all. How was he going to convince her that he was?

Sofia was never his target...it was her. From day one..it was her he wanted not anyone else but her.

.....

"Honey...where have you been " Sofia ran to Aslan the moment he walked in.

He flinched moving back...after what she had done to Elianna. He didn't have the urge to even get close to her.

"Please refrain from touching me " he let out.

"Huh?" Sofia blinked.

Aslan walked past her and into the living rooms where her parents were.

"I didn't want to see either of your faces but I had to do this in person," he said placing an envelope on the table.

"Why are you saying, honey " Sofia walked to where he was trying to sit next to him.

But he turned glaring up at her. Sofia felt her body tense up freezing in place. Something about the look in his eyes scared her...she had never seen him like that.

"She trusted you and in return got cheated by her own family. I know what you did to her and am here to claim back everything you filthy thieves took from her " he said.

Elianna's father scoffed and got up to leave.

"Take another step and trust me the rest of your years will be behind bars..so unless you want your secrets to be revealed, take your seat ". He let out.

Sofia and her mother watched as the head of the family sat back down.

Aslan smirked gazing at them.

"Well, then where did I stop?" he muttered.
