Hellbound With You novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649 Go back

Before Alicia could touch him, Zeres caught her slim wrist. He shot a sharp gaze at her and then shut his eyes in exasperation. His muscles seemed to be turning to steel as he began to pant, furious with her and at a loss in how to deal with her.

After staring at her for a long while, a soft, humorless laugh that sounded totally unlike him escaped his lips. "I don’t care what you think of me now, Alicia. You can go ahead and think of me as the freaking angel you think I am all you want." He said, his voice dropping deeper, darker and colder.

"Yes. Because that’s what you really are." Alicia retorted, not backing off. "You are not –"

"Shut up!" He hissed, a disturbing hint of cruelty was dancing in his expression. "Shut up..." he gritted his teeth, his nostrils flared from the force of his breathing as he pinned her down a little harder using just his weight.

Then his expression changed – an expression that hinted to her of the things he was capable of doing but those that she thought the Zeres she knew could and would never do.

She stared up into the fiery threat that were his eyes. And it amazed her how she could hold herself perfectly still. Alarms had definitely started ringing in her head and yet she wondered how she still could not make herself feel the fear necessary for her to give in and give up on him. Was it because she could just tell that he was expecting her to struggle and fight against him at this very moment? Or could it be due to the fact that he looked even angrier when she went fully passive in his hold instead?

Suddenly, he let his head fall heavily on her shoulder. His breathing was rough as it fanned hotly against the skin of her neck as he seemed to struggle for control.

Then a voice filled with sorrow echoed in Alicia’s ear. "Please... leave me alone, Alicia. I don’t want to hurt you... don’t make me hurt you..."

The agony in his voice made Alicia’s heart contract painfully. "Go back to them and... just let me do what I want... please..."

For at least a minute, there was no other sound or movement from either of them. Alicia could not help but smile miserably. He wanted her to just let him do what he wanted? He wanted her to just let him become the villain he never wanted to become and then die in the hands of his own friends?

"I can’t, Zeres." she answered as her hand landed gently on the back of his head. "I’m not going to let you do what you’re planning to do. I’m not going anywhere without you... so please, stop this and come back with me. Don’t do this Zeres. Come with me. Let’s go back -"

Alicia broke off as he jerked her hand off from his head and he suddenly flung himself away from her.

She immediately rose and looked at him and saw him already at the opposite side of the room. His hands were against the wall as he hung his head, shivering like a drenched dog, shaking his head.

The sight of him made Alicia feel a little more hopeful. Perhaps it was not too late yet. She could still change his mind. ’He is obviously wavering now. A little bit more.’ Alicia whispered to herself as she approached him cautiously.

"Stay back." He growled with such a force before he turned, resting his back against the wall.
