Hellbound With You novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716 - Intricate Puzzle

Clenching her fists tight, Alicia bit down on the insides of her lower lip. Before she came here, she had already formulated a plan. She was going to watch and follow after Ezekiel from here on, 24/7, until these two months were over, and the seven hundred years deadline was up. And if while tailing him, she sees even a hint of him trying to break the curse or starting to remember any of his suppressed memories, there was only one thing left for Alicia to do... and that was...

She closed her eyes in concentration and stepped back. In the past several months, Alicia had been spending all her time researching on everything that she could find out about Ezekiel. There was not much that she could dig out but there were some, though on their own, they do not make much sense alone. However, she had tried her best to connect all the dots on the information that she had found about him and also from the information by the previous queen’s memories in the hopes of discovering on how to stop him in the case where that dreadful day would come.

Being in spirit form now, helped Alicia move ahead tremendously with her mission a lot. She had learned quite a lot of important things that would have been just impossible for anyone who was alive to find out. Because of her special circumstance, she was able to uncover some secrets about Ezekiel and what that could possibly be something that would be able to take him down.

Alicia grumbled within herself that this man was annoyingly flawless in everything. One could not even imagine in the first place on how anyone could even take him down. If she had not died and become a spirit, she knew she would never have been able to ever find out that this man actually had an Achilles heel as well. The fact that he even had one was so surprising! This is his one and only possible vulnerability. She was so shocked that she took quite a long while to process her findings about Ezekiel’s secret.

It was something she had never ever expected to have been able to discover no matter how optimistic she was. And to think that she still had a lot she did not know about him.

He was an intricate puzzle she might never be able to fully uncover and comprehend, even if she spent all her remaining time in trying to figure him inside out. She had accepted that fact since the very beginning and that was the reason why she had chosen to focus on one aspect about him for the past several months. She had told herself that she should concentrate on just one thing, the most important thing, she wanted to know about him and get to know about it as best as possible, rather than to scurry about searching for many things and ending up with nothing at all.

And who knew it, but her decision was right! For the many months of searching, she was able to only find out two things that were certain about him. First, was his weakness, and the second thing was the exact date of the end of that 700-years mark curse on him.

Alicia had not told anyone about these findings of hers yet, not even to Zeres. The information came in too suddenly that she still was reeling from the impact of that knowledge. She then came to Zeres’ apartment to tell and update him about the secret on these crucial two months before the time limit of the seven hundred years. But somehow, looking as how it did not go off too well when she interacted with him, in the end she just could not bring herself to say anything regarding that matter to Zeres at all.
