Hellbound With You novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Awake

In no time, Alexander arrived at the foot of the hill.

The place was forested and steep, but Alex found the exact spot written on the note in no time at all, as if he didn't need to even have to search for it.

The moment he stood there, Alex's blazing eyes fell towards the man who was nonchalantly playing the flute as he sat on the grass with his left knee folded, while he leaned against a wall right next to an old wooden door that was already decaying.

"Zeke." Alex squinted his eyes as he glared down at him. However, Zeke simply looked up at him, unfazed, as he continued playing the flute, as coolly as ever.

Alex was about to approach the man when suddenly, his eyes were drawn towards the old door beside him.

With just that, Alex finally realized the reason why Zeke was here and why he was playing. He remembered that the last time he heard Zeke play a flute was back when he was a teenager when they were playing in the castle and had gotten lost. So seeing him playing now was strange and could only mean one thing – that there was a secret passage inside that dungeon that led to this exit that only Ezekiel knew about.

Alex rushed towards the door when suddenly, the door moved as he heard a sound coming from the inside.

However, before Alex could reach it, the door fell forward, halting him in his tracks, barely missing him.

His gaze flew towards the entrance and his eyes widened as he saw someone holding onto the door frame.

"A-abigail…" he uttered as the music stopped.

Abigail was blinded by the light so her head was turned towards her right as if to hide from the bright light. She was trembling. Her mind was no longer working. She didn't know if the brightness that flooded her eyes meant that she finally got outside or if she had actually died and had gone to heaven.

She noticed that the music had stopped. What did that mean? Was it over? She forced her eyes to open but then darkness slowly swallowed her whole before she could even lift her eyelids open.

"Abigail!" Alex called out as he caught her in his arms. He immediately looked for a pulse and he was utterly relieved when he felt her heart still beating and that she was still breathing. Alex felt like the spirit of life that had left his body entirely when he saw her collapse, had now returned.

At that moment, he didn't even realize that he was hugging her so tightly.

"Easy, Alex… or you'll end up squeezing her to death," Zeke said, nonchalantly, as he stood up, causing Alex to finally realize what he was doing.

"It looks like your little lamb is not as fragile as you think, Alex," Zeke added before he moved towards him and patted his shoulder.

Because Alex was holding Abi in his arms, Zeke swiftly managed to take the dungeon's key from him.

"I'll let Mira go. You can punish her all you want, but I can't just allow you to claim her life."
