Hellbound With You novel Chapter 823

823 /933

The wall that had initially been like any other wall – solid and real – somehow seem to suddenly dissolve right before her eyes. And in the blink of an eye, Iryz was swallowed by it. Zeres had been holding her arm the whole time to support her as he still thought she was not fully recovered. Therefore, the both of them ended up getting swallowed by the wall.

The next thing they knew, they were already inside another room. It was so dark that Iryz could not see anything around her. Then that cursed room where she got tortured in flashed in her mind out of nowhere. That had caused her to start panting and trembling as she felt herself fall into the beginnings of a panic attack.

"Iryz," she suddenly heard someone's voice calling out to her. Zeres? She was not alone!

Suddenly, there was light. Beside her, she could see Zeres who was still holding onto her arm and looking at her with worry in his eyes. "I'm here. It's okay, it's okay…" he added in a soothing voice. "Look… this room safe and I'm right here with you."

The gentle look in his eyes seemed to work like magic, erasing all the haunting images in her mind and reducing the crazy beat of her heart. Iryz took a number of deep breaths until her breathing finally stabilized.

"Thank you. I'm… fine now. Where… are we?" she forced herself to quickly focus on something else because she was about to jump on him just now and bury herself in his embrace. He had no idea that his presence and touch on her had such a magnetic draw and almost caused her to embarrass them both.

She tore her gaze from Zeres and quickly looked around. There were old candelabras that were now lit up all around the room. As her eyes swept the space, she noticed that it was not that small. The long shelf in the middle that divided the room looked very old and everything inside was even older than everything in her old house. If she did not know better, she would have thought that they were visiting an antique museum.

"Did you just magic in the candle lights?" Iryz asked, blinking, as she still could not quite believe that there was a secret room like this in her house. But… was this place even a part of her house? She knew the exact size of her house and she knew that it was impossible for a secret room this large to exist inside no matter how hidden it was.

Zeres just gave her a nod. "Can you stand properly now?"

"Oh, yes. Thanks." Iryz pulled a step away from him, but Zeres still did not let go of her arm as she thought he would. It was as if he was expecting her to wobble. "I'm really fine now." she smiled reassuringly at him, and he finally let go.

"Is this the place in your dream?" he then asked as the two of them examined the room further. They both looked behind them and found out that the wall was made of bricks.
