39 A swap to the better (1/2)

”And now...” Iven grunted,”...he has returned again. I'm pretty sure it's because of what happened last time, but we are unknown to his intentions. We had been informed before that Iason was recreating his gang. They even got indulged in smuggling, robbery and murders. And to make matters worse, he has seen you. We tried to keep you away, but it was already too late. The day you saved Noah.....those were his men. Heeld, you remember him....is his right hand man...”

”But I have no connection to them”, Seb protested,”They barely know me. I'm like a nobody”.

”You are not!”, Iven turned his face at her sharply,”You are one of my people, that's enough for a reason to them. I can bet that they have been keeping an eye on you since that day. That's why Iason was here today. He knows it all!”.

”What does he want from me? Is he mad because I beat up his boys?”,Seb asked.

”He couldn't care less about that”, Iven spat,”That heartless bastard only cares about himself! And he has a nasty habit what's mine. If he can't own them....he'll just destroy them!!!”.

The last line gave Seb the shivers. But another thing struck her

”Hey!”, she said suddenly,”How am I your person?”.

Iven stared at her eyes for a while. That's what gained her attention right now??? It's really unbelievable! She's always so distracted and fickle minded that she gets swayed from the real topic. She wasn't worried if Iason would try to harm her, but she rebelled on the fact that Iven called her his person. But again, thats what always lightens the environment each time. One naive but earn comment from her lifts the intensity!

Iven lifted and dropped his shoulders showing his disappointment. She can be a nuisance sometimes. He rolled his eyes and sighed briefly.

Then all of a sudden he grabbed pace and brought his face right in front of Seb's, leaving only a few centimeters between them. His gaze was so intense and they were so direct with Seb's eyes, that it made her fluster. She gasped but couldn't break the contact. As if they were magnetized. They faced each other for quite a while.

Iven's lips puckered into a smirk,”Is that wrong?”, his voice suddenly turned so deep and seducing.

Seb had her voice gone. She managed to whisper,” Well...you see...I don't belong among your brothers right?...I'm just an a....acquaintance.....”.

Iven narrowed his eyes more and his lips smirked more. Seb looked away immediately and looked down. Iven chuckled at her reaction.

”How long you are going to deny me as well as yourself?”, Iven spoke.

Seb looked up with blank eyes.

”You still don't understand your situation you have brought yourself in to?”, he said again in a devilish tone,” If I don't exaggerate, I say, I am the the ruler of my empire which I created. I've got my brothers who work on the snap of my fingers, and you...being the only women in my life! Who do you think you are??? Don't you read books? Don't you realize it yet???”.
