Chapter 0239
She's serious.
She wants to leave.
If I let her go, she’ll walk out of that door and out of this castle without looking back!
Fuck!
“I can't let that happen.”
“Yes, you can!” She tries to yank her wrist out of my hold to no avail. My hand is wrapped around it firmly and I'm not going to let go anytime soon. “Let me go!” She shouts out loud, using more force, but my grip is not something she can ever get out of forcefully.
“I said no.” Her eyes water. The speed and strength with which she tries to free her hand increases, but I'm barely shaking on my spot as I try to make her stay still, when she's tired, she looks at me with tears streaming down her cheeks. “Please.” Her voice is a broken whisper. My heart is a bleeding gunshot wound.
“Come with me.” I say dryly and pull her behind me as I exit the bedroom. I take her to the last floor of the building where my condo which I hardly visit is located. I take her into the luxurious living and the look on her face shows she awed by the sight of the place, but she’s too angry to be impressed with anything she's seeing. Instead, she faces me, still frowning.
“What is this place?”
“Your home from now on.” I say, letting go of her hand. Even if she tries to run out, she won't go far because the door is locked already and she doesn't know the code.
“What do you mean my home from now.”
I tuck both hands in my trouser pockets and train my eyes on her.
She's going to hate me for this.
Heck, I hate myself for doing this to her, but I have to. She has refused to see reason with me, so I'm going to force her to do so and I'm not going to be able to do that if she escapes, which will be the case if I let her keep living freely. I'm not ready to lose her.
So, from now until everything is cleared and she understands that our relationship is not doomed to fail, she'll stay locked up in here.
“I have seen that you are very serious about wanting to leave.”
“Yes, I am.”
“I cannot let that happen.”
She's agitating, but I keep my calm. One of us has to be calm for this conversation to make sense.
“You're not the one to decide that.”
“ I am and I say you're going nowhere, that's why you'll stay confined in this condo from now until everything is settled.”
“No!” She firmly protests. “No. I don't want to be here. No!”
“Yes.” I take a bold step towards her even though she looks like she's about to pounce on me with her claws. It's a good thing I have have impeccable healing abilities. “Too many things are going on. Apart from the fact that I don't want you to leave me, it's not safe for you out there. I don't know what my enemies are planning for you. So you'll stay in here. Don't even think about trying to escape because you won't succeed. There are guards stationed at every corner of this castle and
cameras watching your every move.” Another daring step forward. We are barely inches from each other and my eyes are staring right at her lips.
They are angry.
And cute.
And she keeps pouting them every now and then.
I want to kiss them. I want to kiss every part of her face. From her forehead down to her eyebrows, then the tip of her nose, both her cheeks, her lips and her chin. I want to plant feathery kisses all over and tell her everything is going to be okay, but the moment I lean forward, I'm greeted by a heavy smack on my left cheek that shuts my eyes and sends my head swaying to the right. I lift my up straight and nod at her.
“Right. Message received. I'll leave now.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
I take a step back.
“I don't want to be here!” She screams after me as I walk to the door, but I don't stop. I pretend to be deaf when she keeps screaming the words as I walk out of the condo.
She needs to stay there so I can have the time and space to deal with this problem accordingly.
And the first thing I have to do is talk with Alina.
That whinging daughter of a cockroach!
