Hellbound With You novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Hellish to heavenly

In Alex's room.

Abi finally opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a man sitting there by the window with his long legs crossed, looking like an olden day emperor. No, a handsome deity?

"You're awake," his deep voice echoed in her ears and she watched him walk gracefully towards her. He bent down and his perfect face hovered over her.

The events in the dungeon slowly returned to her as her brain started to make sense of what had happened - that someone else was there with her, that she felt like something was strangling her, that she had tried to call for help but couldn't and then she lost consciousness.

Abi shut her eyes again to stop herself from reaching out and calling his name. But then, she felt his cool fingers touch her cheek.

"Are you alright?" she heard him ask. "Shall I call the doctors to come?" _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Abi could only open her eyes and she shook her head. She felt fine. She didn't feel anything wrong with her body. She just felt a little sluggish but his touch and voice were enough to jolt her fully awake.

She pushed herself to sit up and she stared at him, wondering. She knew that he was the one who jumped down and rescued her from that abyss. Did he remember anything?

He bent forward and gently pinched her chin. "Don't worry, little lamb, that will not happen again. I will kill anyone who dares to harm you," he told her, eyes dangerous and a serious warning in his voice. It seemed he still didn't remember anything, because if he did, he would be calling her by her name right then.

She looked away and stared at the open window. This was really, really hard. She just wanted him to hug her, to console her and soothe her battered heart, the way he used to. She just wanted to lay her head on his chest, hear his soothing heartbeat, and feel the warmth of his body settle into hers.

"I don't know why you are saying that when you're the reason why I was punished in the first place. You're the reason why I experienced all of that," she uttered, sullenly, not looking directly at him to stop herself from wrapping her arms around his neck, and to try to dredge up a different emotion to help relieve the pain.

"You're the one who kicked me away," he replied and Abi glared at him, her eyes sharper than ever. This was good. Anger was good and this ice cold creature was doing a fabulous job of driving her to the edge and now, all she really, really wanted to do was to beat him up.

"Yes, that's right... it's my fault. Are you happy now? Did it make you happy to watch me suffer? Did you have fun?" Her anger rose to the surface, but in the next second, her eyes started to well with tears. "Were you thinking it was too bad I didn't die –"

"SHUT UP!"

Abi was suddenly pinned by him on the bed. His eyes were blazing infernos as he looked down at her.

"Why are you always... always riling me up like this? Do you like making me angry? You must really hate me so much! Why?"His eyes narrowed. He was so angry that he was clenching the bedsheets like he was going to crumble them into dust.

He was losing it again. This woman was messing him up. And the thought that she hated him was something that was unacceptable for him to accept. Why did she matter so much? So what if she hated him? Everyone hated him anyway so what was the difference if this woman hated him as well from the bottom of her heart?

F*ck. His anger was starting to eat at him. He needed to leave or else he might end up hurting her with his own hands. It seemed that he couldn't accept her hate for him. It seemed that this was something his demons would never accept. And he would rather...

His jaws clenched and he pulled away, ready to disappear from the room again and leave her when out of the blue, he felt something warm touch his hand.

He froze. His eyes fell on her fragile hand holding his wrist. And just like that, everything, even his uncontainable rage, stood still.
