Hellbound With You novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Nowhere near over

This man came back? What was he doing? Didn't he say he wouldn't intervene?

Abi glanced at Alex. He was still emotionless. He didn't react despite seeing Zeke holding her hand. He used to blaze like an inferno whenever something like this would happen. His lack of reaction was even more painful. This was not good. Her will didn't waver but the pain caught her off guard.

"Come, Miss," Zeke spoke again. Abi looked up at him and before she knew it, she stood up and let Zeke guide her towards the dance floor, leaving Alex behind. She needed to calm down and think properly so she accepted Zeke's offer. She should have thought of a plan before just going up to him but her emotions got the better of her.

Zeke put his hand on her waist and they started to dance, drawing everyone's eyes to them as they twirled around gracefully, as everybody wondered who this woman in black was who was bold enough to ask Alex to dance and was now twirling around in the Prince's arms. However, the pair didn't even notice. They were too focused on the situation at hand to care.

"You said you weren't going to intervene," she whispered, taking silent deep breaths. Her eyes sparkled from the water pooling in them that were threatening to fall. She sighed once again, holding her ground.

"What? You haven't even done anything and you're already struggling?" he sounded almost mocking but Abi knew that this man was just painfully straightforward. He wasn't polite to her at all, unlike Kai. Well, it wasn't like she wanted him to be polite. Somehow, she didn't mind that this guy didn't sugarcoat his words even a little, as long as he was telling the truth. As long as he wanted to help her.

"I'm fine. I just need to make a plan and prepare myself mentally. Now that I know what's going on, I can better prepare myself for the things that might come or the things that might not," she answered as she took another deep breath and finally looked him in the eyes. "So, what is on your mind? I believe you didn't come back just to dance with me, Mr. Q –"

"You can call me Zeke when no one's around. Of course, you should call me that around Alex."

Abi's brows slightly creased at his last sentence but she shrugged it off. "And when others are around?"

"Your highness."

Abi fell silent. 'So this guy is a prince.'"You're the prince of the vampires?" _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

"Crown prince," he corrected.

"What about Alex? What is his position now in this country?"

"His status is above that of the King."

"What should I call him then? When others are around…"

"Alexander. No need to address him with a formal title."

"Why?"

"He didn't like it so now everyone has gotten used to calling him by his name."

"I see." She nodded. Somehow, she finally relaxed a little. "So? What is it that you wanted to tell me?"

"I am going to detain you here. The story I will tell your friends is that you were caught being here illegally. The story for the people will be that I am hiring you to do a job here in the palace."

Abi looked at him and thought about it for a second. His plan sounded like it would work, but she would need to tell Kelly not to kick up a fuss about it. She would have to let her best friend know that she would sort it out herself.

"Alex lives here now?"

"Yes. He doesn't want to return to that small house of his so you don't need to go back there again."

"Because he also forgot that he has a house?"

"No. His home was originally this castle. But the main point is I can't let him out of my sight. He has to stay where I can keep an eye on him."
