Mated to Four Alphas Chapter 70: Home alone - 1

Silas’s POV

"So, what happened with that Ciel?" Damon asked.

"You already know, so why are you asking ?"

Obviously, if he knows about giving up the audition, he must know about this as well.

"No, I don’t know anything."

"Mr. Damon, you can’t lie, right? There’s a smile on your face right now."

Damon looked ahead with a proud expression, and I was like—what is happening, dude?

"Silas, do you rember a photographer taking your pictures while you were shooting the drama? Those photos have co out now."

"For so reason, there was a delay, but now that they’re out, you look incredibly gorgeous. That photographer even uploaded them on his Stargram account and tagged you too."

I was happy. I quickly took out my phone and checked—I had a tagging notification. When I clicked on it, the photographer’s account opened, and there it was.

The post.

In the pictures, I really looked hot, wearing designer clothes.

I knew I was beautiful, but I never imagined I was this beautiful.

After that, ti passed without even realizing it, and soon, evening arrived.

"Okay then, Mr. Damon, I’ll take my leave now," I said as Damon was on a call with his brother. He nodded while talking and waved at to say goodbye.

I also waved and walked out of the office, but Atlas wasn’t there.

I called him while stepping into the elevator, but he didn’t pick up and sent a ssage instead.

[Atlas: I was bored sitting there, so I went out to get so fresh air. I’m in the car now.]

So he was in the car. I stepped out of the building and got into the backseat. Atlas started driving.

"You look tired, Silas."

"Do I?"

I didn’t even do much today, yet I still felt tired. Funny. My body really felt heavy, though.

Just then, I rembered—Atlas usually goes ho around this ti because his younger brother waits for him.

"Is it just you and your younger brother in your family?" I asked.

Atlas went silent for a mont before answering.

"Yeah, it’s just and my younger brother now... The rest of my family was killed by soone."

"I’m sorry to hear that," I said sincerely.

"It’s alright. That’s the reason I beca a bodyguard—to find the killer. He was an actor. I still rember... that’s what he said before killing my whole family. I survived by luck, and my younger brother was at a friend’s house that night, so he was safe too."

"So, Atlas... do you know who he is?"

"No, I don’t rember his face or know his na. But I rember his voice. I’ll track him down through that."

"All the best."

What else could I say? It’s not like I could give him tips on how to catch a murderer. All I could do was wish him luck.

"Thank you, Silas."

He focused on driving, and I didn’t say anything after that. I just gazed out at the road, watching the night view.

Soon, we arrived at my apartnt. A few bodyguards were still standing outside my building, and even in the lobby.

As we stepped inside, Atlas asked, "Silas, are you hungry? Should I make sothing for you or order takeout?"

"Nope, I’m not hungry. I already ate cake, so my stomach is full."

Eating too many sweets isn’t good for health, but once in a while is okay.

And today’s dessert was from Damon—I didn’t buy it myself. That ans I can buy one tomorrow with my money, and it won’t count, hehe.

I glanced at Atlas, who was switching on the lights in the apartnt.

"Don’t turn them all on. I can’t sleep when there are too many lights."

Atlas quickly turned them off. The light from the balcony was coming in, but it was still too dark, so I turned on the living room lights.

"Atlas, you can go ho now. Your brother must be waiting for you."

"Okay then... but will you be fine by yourself? Won’t you feel lonely in this big apartnt?"

I smiled. "Nope, I won’t. So go quickly—don’t make your brother wait."

"Sure. But if you need anything, just call . There are bodyguards in the lobby, so don’t be scared. Get so rest."

Atlas bowed slightly before leaving. Once he was gone, I locked the door from inside.

When I turned around, I realized—

I was alone.

In this whole house.

But I shouldn’t be scared anymore. I’m all grown up now. How can I still be afraid of ghosts?

My gaze flickered toward the kitchen. The lights were off.

I quickly ran to the kitchen and switched them on.

Standing in the living room, I looked around at the silent house.

I was the only one here.

And because of that, I could hear everything.

Every tiny sound.

Each one making flinch in the worst way possible.

And then—

I don’t know why, but I felt like soone was watching .

My heartbeat picked up.

So many scary thoughts started flooding my mind—like they were throwing a party in there.

I glanced around and noticed—Nekol’s room door was open.

The lights were off.

But I didn’t have the courage to go in and turn them on.

So I rushed into my room instead—

And locked the door.

Even after locking the door, my heart was still beating fast. My mind kept imagining that soone would knock on my room’s door from outside at any mont.

But that was just my imagination.

Nothing like that happened.

But even just thinking about those thoughts made shiver. I felt like I should call Damon and tell him that I was scared being ho alone.

But I didn’t do that. Instead, I opened my wardrobe, took out my clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

However, while I was in the shower, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that soone was out there.

I was so scared that I finished my shower in just five minutes, quickly put on my clothes, and rushed out of the bathroom.
