บท 20: Secrets
"He was a client and did it as payment" - King
"Something doesn't feel right... What about news spreading?" - Queenie
"I erased all the evidence" - King
'And made sure no one will or can utter any word about you' Cain left unsaid.
"But, some people will still know. I pictured him differently." - Queenie
"How exactly?" - King
Cain knew that what he did that day was out of his character. But seeing her surrounded by lewd men he lost all his control. As usual...
"That's a secret!" - Queenie
"I don't like secrets" - King
"Neither do I" - Queenie
"Then tell me" - King
"I will, if you tell me your name" - Queenie
"Siana, you know, I can't. Give me a bit more time" - King
"That's totally fine. It's just that I also can't tell you about Cain Greydale. You know how I like keeping my fantasies to myself.
More importantly, don't forget that you can't call my name until you have told me yours.
Anyways, I need to go now. I have been in the room for too long. Talk to you later"- Queenie

Cain stared at the long message and only now did he realise that he had used the most enchanting word in the world but also the one that was a taboo: her name. He could feel her anger even though others might not be able to. He wanted to find words to placate her. But he couldn't. She had all the rights to be angry. After all, she had always trusted him but he didn't even trust her with his name.
They both knew that this wasn't a case of trusting her with a name: it was much more than that.
He knew, that if he gave her the slightest hint about his identity or tell her only his name with no surname whatsoever, she would find out about his identity straight away. And if she did, she wouldn't sit put if she knew he was in danger. She was a true doctor in heart: she wouldn't even hesitate to save a monster if it needed help.
She knew that he had his reasons for not telling his name or not getting in contact with her directly. And knowing him for the past 5 years she could tell that he was doing it for her. However, she couldn't help but feel angered about his overprotectiveness.
She was quite good at reading people, but he was the only person she could not read or predict at all. Over years she tried different tactics to push him closer to her. But alas...
The one time he called her was when she stopped talking to him for a month telling him she was scared he was a creepy old man, a psychopath or even a serial killer. He let her hack him so that she knew that he didn't use a voice changer.
That day she replayed their conversation in her head the whole night not to forget his husky and hypnotisingly appealing voice. The only thing was that, during the call, he made her promise that she wouldn't do that again so she couldn't use the tactic anymore.
But after that he didn't call her again. Even when she threw tantrums he didn't budge.
His second and last call came recently... He talked to her for the whole night and gave her comfort and strength when she was at her weakest.
Even if it hurt not knowing much about his identity, she got used to living with it. But that didn't mean her curiosity died down. At least the guy had the decency to tell her some of his likes and dislikes to feed her curiosity. For example, he hated drama movies, so whenever he pissed her off she would make him watch a drama movie as a retribution.

With many unsaid thoughts in his mind, Cain sighed and texted,
"Okay Queenie. I know I can't force you to tell me something when you are in your stubborn mode. Now go have fun but make sure to stay away from other men" - King
Sia read the message quickly and started preparing. She was in the middle of changing when a barrage of message notifications started popping up on her screen.
"And don't let anyone touch you" - King
"Text me whenever you are alone with a man" - King
"That Ren is a flirt and the Will guy is an iceberg, they are no good and they aren't cute at all" - King
"Don't be too kind to them for their own good" - King
"Also don't smile at them" - King
"Most importantly, don't forget to think about me" - King
Irritated, Sia picked up her phone but after seeing the messages her eyes shone with an idea and she wrote back;
"As you wish your majesty. Now stop texting and let me put my clothes on. I am literally stark naked here" - Queenie
Seeing her message Cain subconsciously started picturing the scene but cursed when he realised the game the girl was playing,
'Damn! This was a low hit! Can't she be a bit considerate of me? Why does she enjoy torturing me so!?'
Cain took deep breaths to cool down his body heat. But the next moment he felt horrified:
'What if she talks so provocatively to other men? How do I stop her? ... Can I even stop her? ... No... I guess killing the guy is the only solution.'
The girl was so much trouble!
"As long as you make sure to show this side of yours ONLY to me, I will abide by my Queen's desires." - King
Sia smiled at her little victory and without sending any reply quickly put on her clothes and ran downstairs.

Will was getting impatient. 'What if something happened to her? Does she always take so long to change? Shall I go check on her?'
He was about to go upstairs when he caught sight of a figure in dark blue leggings and a loose light-grey hoodie.
"Sorry, I couldn't decide what to wear. Shall we go now?" Sia smiled at him but deep down she was cursing at someone:
'King, I am gonna kill you if the park is warm and I become all sweaty!'
Will readily nodded at her and soon they were already on the road to the Mountain park.
