Hellbound With You novel Chapter 818

In fact, sleeping was a kind of a hell for him. Whenever he sleeps, his past haunts him to no end. And for the last hundreds of years, nothing had ever chased those nightmares away. Nothing could. But the presence of this woman miraculously did. She chased his nightmares away just by hugging him while sleeping. For the first time after so long, he had finally experienced what peace felt like again. What it was like to sleep without nightmares.

It was maddening to him at how all these things just happened to him now of all times. It was like everything was coming at him from all sides, trying to defeat him and drive him to his knees. Now he knew. Now he knew what it was like…

He dozed off while sitting there staring at her. The nightmares came but this time it was a little different from the usual repetitive nightmares he had been having for the last hundreds of years. He saw his father smiling at him, no, the b**tard was smirking at him. 'So? How was it my son?' he asked in taunting voice.

And Ezekiel could only look at him helplessly with rage and hatred coursing through his veins. 'Just give in. You can't fight it, Ezekiel. It is impossible. You will lose in the end. So why bother fighting it?'

'Shut your mouth up!' he growled out, and his father barked out in laughter.

'Save yourself from all the futile fighting and resisting, Ezekiel. It's time for you to breathe and give in to what you desire. Follow your heart for once. Choose what you truly want and throw your brother away. It can't be helped if he suffers and rot in that dungeon forever.'

'I said shut your f*cking mouth!!!' he attacked that man he once called his father, but he could not touch him at all. 'I won't be like you! I won't throw away anyone important like what you did! I will keep my promise no matter what!'

'Then what about her? The woman that you desire so terribly? Are you not throwing her away by not choosing her? Poor her, poor poor Alicia.' His father tsked and shook his head at Ezekiel.

'I'll kill you!!! Don't f*cking mention her name with that filthy mouth of yours! I'm gonna kill you many times over!!!' he roared out.

Then he woke up, gasping, sweating and…

"Al… Alicia? How… how come you're awake?" he asked, giving everything he had to gather his composure as he looked over at her, who was already kneeling before him and cupping his face.

"I… I don't know I just…" her lips began to tremble. Her fingers on his face were also trembling. "I just…"

"You saw it… my nightmare." He said flatly after seeing her wide eyes. And at the mention of that, her tears fell, and her trembling worsened.
