Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 156: You Misunderstood Me for So Long—It’s Time for Punishment
From seeing the way Silas Prescott treated the kitten to his words just now, Sienna Paxton had basically concluded that Silas had suffered emotional trauma in his childhood.
Could it be that his personality became so obsessive because of this trauma?
But why hadn’t she heard about this during all those years she stayed with the Prescott Family?
With this guess in mind, Sienna gently pushed his shoulder.
"Silas, why do you hate kittens so much?"
Silas leaned on her shoulder, his voice carrying an unhideable pain.
"Because it took away my mother’s love."
He could never forget that every time he wanted to find his mom, she was always holding a kitten.
She bought all sorts of treats and various clothes for the kitten, and at night, she held it while sleeping.
But ever since he could remember, his mother never did the same for him.
Even her gaze was cold when she looked at him.
As a child, he envied the kitten so much, wishing to become it so he could receive his mother’s love.
So, while his mother was not around, he secretly took the kitten and left it on the street.
Without the kitten, his mother would give all her love to him.
What he didn’t expect was that the kitten was killed by someone, and when his mother heard it was him who took the kitten away, she didn’t listen to any explanation and beat and scolded him.
She locked him in the basement without giving him food so he could reflect.
His father was never home, and his grandfather was away on business trips, so there was no one to save him.
Silas spent two days and nights alone in that basement.
He was only five years old then, unable to understand adult minds.
But it was then he understood a truth: even without the kitten, his mother would not love him.
Instead of being the crystallization of his parents’ love, he was a seed of hatred.
From that moment on, all his expectations of his parents vanished completely.
What he felt was not warmth, but a cold and dark world.
Since then, he became increasingly indifferent towards his parents.
He willingly accepted all kinds of courses his grandfather arranged for him.
He felt that only by becoming strong could he control everything around him.
By then, he could seize whatever he wanted.
Recalling this, Silas smiled bitterly.
He had walked in the dark for so long, and finally, he encountered a ray of sunlight, feeling like his world had finally brightened.
He tried everything to grasp that ray of sunlight, but it still slipped away through his fingers.
Silas felt a throbbing pain in his heart, a sadness for his childhood self, and the hurt for losing Sienna over these five years.
With a hoarse voice, he said, "Sienna, please don’t be like that woman and abandon me for a kitten, alright?"
His voice carried rare pleading, making Sienna’s heart ache.
She didn’t know much about Silas’s parents, only that they divorced and seemed indifferent towards him.
She didn’t know anything else.
Possibly because she too had experienced being ignored and then abandoned by those closest to her, Sienna could feel the bitterness in Silas’s heart.
She gently patted his back, "Silas, you’ve gotten scratched by the kitten, let me take you for a shot."
Silas held onto her tightly, "I’m not going. I’m afraid you’ll run again, and I won’t be able to find you anymore. Sienna, without you, I really can’t live. Can you please not leave?"
His voice carried the taste of supplication, gradually making Sienna’s heart ache.
She couldn’t be so hard-hearted towards Silas.
It was obvious that he had some illness in his heart, which made him so obsessive.
If she could help him heal the illness, might he change for the better?
Sienna took a deep breath.
Because she didn’t know what the future held, she was also gambling, gambling that Silas could change for the better.
She said, "I can stay, but you must listen to me."
Silas slowly stood up, staring at her intently, "Do you want to control my love for you? Sienna, you can’t be so cruel. Do you know how I lived these five years? I constantly thought about you, wanted to kiss you, wanted to be entangled with you. I finally found you, and you can’t limit me."
Sienna knew she could no longer escape from Silas.
She had parents who cared for her and couldn’t leave like before, alone.
Instead of opposing Silas, it might be better to stay patient and find out the root of his obsession.
She lowered her eyes and said, "Then you can’t force me like before."
Upon hearing this, Silas smiled and nibbled on Sienna’s lips, "Sienna, this little mouth of yours only knows how to falsely accuse good people. Wasn’t it always you who clung to me and begged me to give it to you?"
"That’s because you made me drink some filthy stuff."
Sienna got angry just thinking about that scene.
Silas liked it when she clung to him and begged him to do that with her.
He would even righteously say to her, "Sienna, you’re the one who seduced me first. Don’t regret it."
Sienna glared at him angrily, "Silas, if you dare to give me those messy things again, I’ll bite you to death."
Silas leaned down, whispered in her ear, "Sienna, do you like biting up or down? I’ll make sure to wash well and wait for you."
"You’re perverted!"
Sienna angrily kicked him and then turned to leave.
She found the kitten in the seam of the sofa, gently stroking its head, "Flora, I’m sorry, I can’t keep you anymore. I’ll send you to a pet hospital. Otherwise, you’ll be killed by him." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
The kitten seemed to understand her words, shrinking its neck in fear and meowing.
Sienna knew Silas had a stress response to kittens, so keeping the kitten at home was like a ticking time bomb for him.
Someone’s stress response could trigger all sorts of bad emotions.
She feared that Silas would become more insane, just like five years ago, killing the kitten.
To prevent this from happening again, she had no choice but to send the kitten away.
Silas stood at the door, listening to her conversation with the kitten, and frowned, "As long as it doesn’t fight me for you, I won’t touch it."
Sienna gave him a sidelong glance, "I don’t believe you. I won’t let this kitten end up like the one five years ago, dying at your hands."
Upon hearing this, Silas frowned at her, "Do you think I killed that kitten?"
"You still won’t admit it. My classmate even captured it on camera. You passed by right when the kitten died. If it wasn’t you, then who?"
Silas walked over to Sienna, grabbed her chin.
"Sienna, who made you think so badly of your brother?"
Sienna looked at him incredulously, "If it wasn’t you, why did your shirt have blood on it?"
"It was someone on a motorcycle who hit and killed the kitten. I saw it was the one you often fed, and I wanted to take it to the hospital, but it was already dead. So I had someone take it away for burial."
Sienna never expected things to turn out like this.
The kitten wasn’t killed by Silas.
Back then, because of this, she was so scared she cried for a long time.
Whenever she thought about that image of Silas slaughtering the kitten, she would tremble all over.
She thought someday in the future, Silas would treat her the same way.
So, that was also a reason that compelled her to leave Silas hurriedly.
Now, hearing Silas say this, the fear that she had suppressed in her heart for years was gradually dissipating.
Perhaps she hadn’t understood Silas thoroughly enough.
For instance, she didn’t know what harm his parents had done to him, or how his twisted mind related to his childhood.
Seeing her blink somewhat guiltily, Silas’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
That handsome face of his gradually enlarged in Sienna’s pupils.
"Sienna, after misunderstanding me for so many years, shouldn’t you be punished?"
He didn’t wait for Sienna to react, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
