Hellbound With You novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728 - Reflection

"Tell me, where did you get this idea from?" Zeres asked. His expression was even more intense now, making Iryz feel more nervous. She could not help it. Even though she honestly could not believe that he was really a bad witch as he had claimed, his intensity was just a bit too much, he looked like he was dying to know the answer to that weird question of his.

"Uhm... I think the idea had just popped in my head one day..." she answered a little hesitantly, afraid that he would not like the answer. And true enough, his expression darkened, obviously not pleased at the answer she gave him. "It’s true! I’m an artist and a writer as well. So that just happens sometimes. Sometimes... the ideas just pop out of nowhere..." she defended herself rather weakly, shrinking her shoulders a little.

He stilled and for a brief moment, Iryz suddenly felt danger emanating powerfully from him. Her answer had made him incredibly angry and now he looked like he was doing his best to calm himself. He had felt that the reason that she had given was so frivolous that it might as well not even be counted as one. His jaws and facial muscles were clenching as he shut his eyes tightly and took a step back from her. If he was too close to her, he could not be sure that his hand would not shoot out and clutch onto her neck and strangle it. So to avoid that accident, it was better that he stay just out of arms reach of her.

She could see his fists clenching so tight as if he could barely contain himself. Then he suddenly slammed his fist against the wall, creating a deep hole in it. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

Zeres stared at the hole in the wall and his fist that was still sitting in it. He squeezed his eyes closed again and took a couple of deep breaths before he turned to look at the girl again.

But the moment he met her gaze, the fear in those gullible green eyes made him feel like something had hit him hard. And the realization that he had just scared the poor girl made him averted his gaze away. He ran his fingers through his hair and then tugged hard on it – the sharp pain in his scalp helping to knock some sense back into himself, before taking another deep breath to calm himself down.

He truly was running out of patience now and his anger issues was worsening as well as time went by. As he stood there, he saw his own reflection on the girl’s mirror and a small bitter smirk formed on his face for one brief moment. Somehow, he could not even recognize himself anymore... he was turning into someone that he did not know at all... or could it be that... he was just slowly turning into who he really was?

They say people do not actually change. They just gradually become who they truly are. Did this mean that he was this kind of man all along? And it had taken him all these long years to ’grow’ into himself?

"Are you... alright?" her voice pulled at his attention and when he looked at her, she no longer had that fearful and shaky look in her eyes now. He followed her line of sight and saw that she was staring at the drops of blood which were dripping from his fist.
