Hellbound With You novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545 Babysitter

The black sky finally began to be painted over with the color of dawn. But the two figures standing before Riev’s grave had yet to move or say a single word.

Alicia had kept her head down, finally whispering her prayer, her last goodbye to Riev in silence. The sadness that had weighed heavily in her heart hadn’t subside one bit but when she opened her eyes, she lifted her head and looked at the horizon.

It was already dawn. A slight and emotional smile curved on her face as Riev’s grinning face appeared in her imagination, waving goodbye, slowly disappearing, as the rising sunshine swallowed him.

’Goodbye, Riev,’ she whispered within her and then, she turned to leave.

Ezekiel walked past her in silence and Alicia followed him. She stared at the man’s broad back that spoke of so much authority and mystery. He was only a few steps away from her but in Alicia’s eyes, the man was way out of reach. He’s been that way ever since the first time she met him, cold, calculating and... distant.

They descended the hill in silence but once they were out of the burial ground, Zeke slowed until Alicia caught up to him and walked beside him. She didn’t turn to look at him.

"My job is finally over," Zeke suddenly started, his deep voice echoed like cold breeze in the morning. "It’s your turn now, Alicia."

His words made her halt and she finally looked at him.

Zeke also halted and his blank stare turned to her. Alicia studied him in return with a slightly narrowed eyes, seeking for an explanation about what he just said.

The man cocked his head to the side and a playful smirk curved on his face. "I mean... it’s your turn now to babysit a dragon."

Alicia blinked, creasing her brows even harder. "Babysit?" was all she could say.
