"Are You That Scared Of Me?"

"Nothing! I just wanted to ask why my little one is talking fishy early in the morning! He asked, bending at her level with a mischievous smirk.
"Why the heck he's so quick-witted! Emilia felt an instant urge to strangle his neck but she controlled herself and tried to smile.
Was she plotting something or was she a professional dumb! Rayven gave her a confused look.
"Anyway little one wash up and come down for breakfast" I'm waiting downstairs! Rayven pinched her cheek as he said.
And as usual she flinched, which was a turn off for Rayven's mood.
His sullen expression was now replaced by a serious one.
"Tell me why you do this!" He asked with a hostile glare.
"W- what did I do! Emilia's throat became dry.
"Why do you flinch every time I try to be close with you! Are you that scared of me?! He chewed onto his words as if trying hard not to burst out.
"N -no" Emilia instantly told a white lie, even though "I am freaking scared of you" was written all over her face in capital letters.
"I don't think so that's the case" his mystic eyes wearing the dark of blue gazed into her emerald one.
"I- I am serious" she said with a determined expression to make him believe.
"I believe you this time, Emilia," he said seriously.
"I'm waiting downstairs!" He commanded and walked out of the room.
Emilia finally left the breath she was holding from some past moment.
"Am I a mirror, he tries to stare deep inside! She huffed in anger.
"Let's get ready, Emilia" she told herself and rushed into the bathroom.
After washing up she walked to the dressing room, straight and changed into jeans and a scoop neck tee.
Now the real step was to go out and face Rayven.
"You have to do it, Emilia. You are just a little away from your freedom. Face him fearlessly, because he claims to love you. So he will not do anything to you...Probably, "Emilia comforted herself, plucking up her courage.
Then she walked down the stairs and went straight to the dining room. This was the only route she had remembered yet.
"Hi Ray- As soon as Emilia's eyes met his deep colored eyes, her steed disappeared. Her confidence vanished from where it had come from! And her entire speech was slurred.
"Hey Rayven babe" what's up! She again tried, putting all her hesitation aside this time.
Difficulty he held the coffee inside his mouth upon hearing it. He immediately turned his head and looked at her with wide eyes as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"What you said? He stood up from his seat and walked towards her, asking.
"Hey Rayven-
"After that!
"'What's up!!!
"Between Hi Rayven and what's up! He asked impatiently.
"Babe" she repeated.
"Oh My God! Has the sun risen from the west today? Rayven was unable to hide his excitement.
When Emilia noticed the hot iron, she decided to strike it.
" Rayven, I- I wanna request to you tha-
"Anything! Just say it! He cupped her small face in his big hands and started saying lovingly.
All the working staff around were about to faint after seeing him like this. Because they had never seen this form of Rayven before today. Whenever they had seen him, they found rage following around him.
``What went so well today that he was behaving this way". Everyone's thinking was stuck to this point.
When Emilia was sure that he would agree to her, she began to speak.
"Rayven, I want to visit somewhere out today!
She thought she was caught when Rayven gave her a warning look in response. As if he had doubted Emilia.
Thinking upon these concerns she felt her throat becoming dry.
"You're not plotting something right?! Rayven confirmed.
"Come Rayven! W- Why would I? She laughed nervously.
"Okay then let me think about it" he replied, giving her an assuring smile.
"Please don't say no!! I feel so bore here in this huge Mansion all the time! Emilia pouted, causing him to flash his heavenly smile again.
"Okay, so, where will my little one would like to go? Amusement park?! He teased her.
"Yah! I'm not a kid! She protested.
"I would prefer a mature place to go" she cunningly suggested to him to choose a crowded place.
"Mature you say! So, how about aclub??? He asked and she got confused again because she had never been there.
"I never went there before! She told him.
"It's alright Emilia! I will be with you! Don't worry! Yeah, but there's one condition! He demanded
"What is it? He asked as curiosity rise up in her.
"Don't you dare to drink there!! I'm warning you first hand because if you do, the damage will be all yours! He smirked, giving her a meaningful look.
She cleared her throat and spoke.
"Don't worry about that, Rayven! Because I've never had a drink before! She declared, making him astonished once again.
"Ah really!" He sounded amused.
"Okay done then! "We are going to a club tonight. Be ready okay! He declared which was enough to make her jump in happiness.
"Okay" her eyes glimmered with strange excitement.
"Oh wow! This was a piece of cake! You're brilliant, Emilia! It's the perfect chance to escape. Make sure not to ruin it in any way.
Emilia began to rejoice at the thought.
Rayven was not an infant so he couldn't understand that she was plotting something. So, he decided to play along as he decided to test her loyalty as well.
He had decided that if she'll betray him this time he will definitely teach her a good lesson.
If she was his with love, fine and good! Otherwise he would forcefully make her his own, Rayven had decided.
