After crying my heart out, I walked out and saw Christian sitting on the bed rubbing his temples. At this time, I felt immense loathe and abhor for him.
“Christian.”
I stood in front of him and gave him a detestable look. My heart skipped a beat just thinking about the consequences of my words.
“Sophie, I am sorry.”
Mentally preparing myself for the worst, I said with venom.
"Do you remember, the day Eugene woke up, I said I wanted to talk to you?" He looked up at me as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"You know what I wanted to say?" I said as a tear fell from my eye.
He kept looking at me with his distress eyes as I said that staring deep into his murk eyes with resentment,
"I want liberation. An eternal reprieve from this hell." I snarled as it took him some seconds to register what I was saying.
Once, he comprehends my words, his eyes widened as he stood up and it felt like the intimidation which was hidden for the past weeks burst out with much force.
“What?”
My heart feels like it's gonna leap out of my chest as I look at his eyes that are beyond angry now.
"You know what you are saying?" He said calmly but his voice was saying, 'take back what you said or else...'
I stood still despite the fact that my life is giving up on me. He took a step closer as he put his hands in his pocket and looked at me with his dire gaze,
"You truly want me to break my promise, don't you?" He hissed.
"That promise doesn't have any meaning to you in the first place." I hissed back which is a very bad choice- like my life.
"Okay... then let me help you recall what I said when we first met." He said with his piercing gaze that made me deprived of energy.
“Since you have swore to drag me from where I escaped.”
He took a step closer as my feet glued to the floor and no matter how much I wanted to run away, I couldn't.
Lost in the overwhelming presence before me I remained motionless.
"Once this started, you are stuck." he quoted his exact words that made me submerge in frights.
“Enough with this.”
I began to pant in terror as his hands were clenching and unclenching and I see he was trying to refrain himself.
I don't know what took over me as I fueled his anger more.
"I don't want to live with a guy like you! I hate you!" I shouted as he stopped.
My breath, his wrath, everything. This alarms me that what I have done is to take his rage to a whole new level.
“I don’t!” My body began to quiver as the terror in my eyes became visible.
He looked away for a second but the other second I was pinned harshly to the wall as I squeaked in pain.
“You can’t leave me.” He held my arm tightly.
“I won’t let you.” He growled.
“Leave me, Christian.” I whimpered.
"You know I can easily draw out those terrors that are running through your veins." He whispered vehemently.
I lost myself in apprehensions as I realized that I am stuck and he won't free me that easily.
“I can.” Upon seeing my tears his grip tightens as I let out another shriek in pain.
"If something like this ever came upon your lips..." He whispered on my neck as a shiver went down my spine in terror.
“Please…” I let out a convulsed gasp to calm my horror-struck form but to no avail because I am lost in his apparitions.
He put my hands over my head as he held it with one hand while his other hand gripped my jaws forcefully as he made me look at him. I continued to let out a loud gasp of fright when he moved closer and whispered on my lips, completing his sentence.
"I'll make sure that nothing but my name echoes through these halls... " I shut my eyes as his grip tightened causing me to whimper more.
"It hurts!" I screeched which caused him to come back to his senses as he immediately took a step back. I fall on the ground holding my wrists as they hurt a lot.
He ran his hand through his raven locks.
"DAMN IT SOPHIE!" He yelled as he kicked the table causing the vase to fall on the ground terrifying me as I almost screamed in dread.
“Why do you do this to me!?” He began to pace around the room as I sat in the corner crying. He walked towards my crying mess form as I curled like a ball,
"Stop crying." He breathes out but my petrified form didn't comply to him which cause him to growl,
"I SAID STOP CRYING!" He shouted. I was startled, this is the first time he shouted at me like this.
I put my hand over my mouth to muffle my cries as he continued to look at me with that intense furious look.
“Sophie…” He took a deep breath as he bent to my level. Tears were falling but the sound was muffled by my hand.
"You. Can't. leave. Me."He ordered as my powerless form gave him a nod. He moved his hand to my mouth and removed my hand as my breath hitched.
“You just can’t.” He continued to look at me with his unfathomable gaze but the remorse and hurt were clear in his eyes.
“I-I didn’t mean to startle.. You.. but.. Don’t..” He exhaled his anger and looked at me with dejection. His eyes scanned my horrified form and he knew he broke his promise.
“Please.” Eventually, his anger disappeared thin into the air and penitence took over,
"I am sorry... Just don't leave me ... I don't want to be alone again." He spoke hoarsely, looking away as he stood up and began to move back.
The shards of glass pricked his foot but he didn't flinch as he paced around the room with his bloodied foot for about a minute and then left without saying another word.
Leaving me alone in the room with the traces of blood and a heavy heart. He was so distressed, he was refraining himself to hurt me.
I hid my face in my knees as I began to sob again.
‘Just what is our relation?’
“When there's no love why are you refraining yourself?” I whispered when he left, lowering my gaze.
When our relationship is based upon lust, then why aren't we sharing any intercourse?
When I don't love you then why do I feel hurt by looking at you like this?
Why do you feel hurt by me being hurt?
As these thoughts filled my mind, mother's words echoed in my mind,
‘He needs you’
I grit my teeth in frustration. Just what turns my life has taken?...
