Hellbound With You novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712 - Book

Alicia could only stand there, her fists clenched into tight balls as she stared at the buttons of Zeres’ shirt that fell next to her feet.

"You might be right," she grudgingly forced the words a little angrily through her teeth as if to her, the buttons now had become Zeres himself. "This might really look a little like obsession to you. But it’s not the kind of obsession you’re thinking about, you, idiot. You think I enjoy thinking about that cold hearted vampire prince?! He’s literally an ice block! You think trying to figure him out is fun?! I have no choice but to think about him because this is my duty now. Why can’t you understand that and just listen to me and help me out?"

Frustration filled Alicia’s eyes and she felt like she wanted to pull chunks of her hair out. Why must Zeres be behaving this way?! She was trying to understand Zeres but lately, her patience was running out. He had purposely avoided her for months on end and when they finally met, he was getting mad at her for doing what she was supposed to do. He was the only one who knew the very reason why she was doing this, but now he was acting as though he did not understand why she was doing all this at all! The way he was behaving really was driving her nuts!

"Fine!" she said, "if you don’t want to cooperate, I’m not going to force you anymore. I’ll just have to do this on my own!" Alicia snapped out and gave up on trying to be patient with him.

And she left, still feeling a bit mad at Zeres’ attitude towards her. She even thought that he had acted like that with her because he was angry that she had interrupted his fun time and she could only flare up even more at that thought as she left Zeres’ apartment.

...

When Zeres stepped out of the bathroom, he immediately sensed that she was gone. He leaned against the wall and let his eyes fall close.

A soft sigh escaped his lips as he ruffled his wet hair. He then violently snatched up his coat and left as well. He knew that he would not be able to sleep at all anyway, so he decided to just go out and continue on his search again, or else, he would probably go mad.

"You just said yesterday that we’ll be taking a couple of day off, Zeres. What happened to that?" Jude, the rogue witch Zeres had caught months ago and who was now his search assistant, said with a tired sigh. He was truly looking forward to having a break but he guessed that that is going to be another faraway dream of his now.

"Let’s go," was all Zeres said, causing the man to roll his eyes in exasperation as he stomped his feet and followed after Zeres.

"Oh, and by the way, I just received a call from that pretty witch... what’s her name again? That famous movie star?" Jude remembered to report this to his boss.
