Antagonist or protagonist

Crystal strides straight to the shower, her head high. Her heart repeating the words again and again,'You did nothing, this is all part of the plan. Don't think too much, Crystal!'

Crystal looked at the mirror, her neck area covered with hickey. Her fingers itself touched them, a disgusted frown appeared on her face.

She withdrew her hand and bolted today the shower, and turned on the hot water. Her pale skin soon turned red under the scalding hot water.

The cramp in that area was a constant reminder to her. She felt dirty, disgusted with her body. In hope the feeling disappears, she took the scrub and rubbed her body ruthlessly.

The blistering water mix with her violent scraping, caused her skin to turn red and swollen as if it will bleed soon. Seeing the marks still there on her body, she gave up and threw the scrub away squatting down on the floor with water running over her, resting her forehead on her knees.

After a long time, she sighed and let it go. Turning off the shower and she got up slowly. The mirror was covered with fog. With her weak hand she rubbed off the mist and looked at herself.

Swollen red eyes, with red skin. Her skin was always as white as milk and a small mark could be clearly seen. Afraid Silas would see through it, she immediately turned the water to ice cold and sat down underneath it.

By the time Silas was awake, she was in the bath for an hour long, her body soaked in icy water. The redness left, her scars were not much with most of her hickeys it was impossible for him to notice.

Finishing her bath with the rose scented body gel, she thoughtfully wrapped herself only in a towel and walked out. As expected he was awake when she came out. Acting like nothing happened, she smiled and walked across to her dressing room.

Crystal pulled off the towel wrapped over her hairs, sitting in front on the vanity table. Just as she thought, he followed her to the room. Still in his white bathrobe, he walked Straight to her, wrapping his arms around her abdomen. His face snuggling into the crook of her neck.

"You smell like this early morning. Are you planning to seduce me to death?" Silas teased placing kisses there.

Crystal smiled hearing him," That's the plan." She mumbled under her breath, running her fingers through his dark hairs.

" Hmm?" Silas was not busy kissing her to hear her words clearly. He only looked up at her once he left one more mark around her neck.

Crystal kept her smile,"Nothing" She shook her head.

She got up from her seat, and turned around facing him,"Go get ready." She ordered, patting his chest.

Silas pulled her closer in an effort to kiss her but she instinctively pulled herself back. Putting her hands at his lips.

"You have not brushed your teeth yet." Crystal joked, placing a kiss on his lips with her hand in between.

Silas sighed, she was the boss after all. Silas rested his head at the crook of her neck. The place was better than any pillow in this world.

Finally his dream came true today. He can't count how many times he dreamt of making her his wife. The first time when she turned and came to her on that school ground he was clear she was the one.

Silas wraps his limbs around her waist and pulls her closer. A smile appeared remembering the last night. She initiated touching him, even seducing him.

Doesn't matter what the reason was, if it means him dying from her hands. He happily agrees but not before they are married.

Sighing he pulled himself away. "I will go get ready." He placed a kiss on her cheeks as goodbye and walked out.

The sweet smile on her face instantly dropped, she crossed her arms, her gaze remaining fixated on the door.

"I will make sure to make preparations for your death." The smirk on her face came back as she said those words.

Crystal already prepared her dress yesterday. An off-shoulder dress made from lacey garments. There were two parts, the part underneath was made from silk, plain and simple white with a plunging neckline and bottom. On top of the white silk, the lace garments were stitched to it. The plunging neckline could be still seen and that's what she needed.

With a flowy bottom of the gown with a slit cut open revealing her long legs. A perfect combo of sexy and innocent. The dress looked like something from a fairytale which gave the innocent look and that plunging neckline and slit makes it sexy.

Crystal put on the dress and sat down in front of the vanity mirror to put makeup on when Silas entered the room again. His eyes immediately went to the dress she was wearing. Crystal saw it and got up from her place to give him a better look.

"How do I look?" She asked.

Instead of replying his face turned serious, and walked straight up to her. She kept her facade calm while inside she was having a turmoil.

'He will kill you now. This is too revealing. F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!...."

"You really plan to get me killed, huh?" His words brought her thoughts to a stop and with widened eyes she looked at him.

His face with a bright smile,"If others see such a beauty I got as wife, they would get real jealous and plan to murder me." He joked and pulled her close by waist.

Crystal let out a nervous laughter hearing it and nodded. She sighed in relief in her mind that he was not at all angry for her wearing that kind of dress. Shouldn't he get angry and force her to change? Why was he acting like a male lead? Wasn't he antagonist in her story?
