Hellbound With You novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923 I promise

"Take me Ezekiel…" she gripped him hard, holding to him like letting go would kill her as she begged him to bring her along. "Don't leave me alone. Please…!"

With her sobbing and trying to speak at the same time, Alicia could hardly breathe when he cupped her face in his hands and made her look at him. The tender way he held her face, his eyes deep and dark only indicated to her very clearly what he was about to say to her. And her heart bled even as her eyes hungrily drank up the view of her beloved person. That small and soft smile could only mean one thing… that he was going to say goodbye to her.

"Alicia… I believe you're already pregnant with our child." Ezekiel broke the news to her as gently as he could.

The world seemed to shake violently before suddenly freezing up for a moment. A moment that felt like an eternity to Alicia. She opened her lips. Then closed it before opening it again. But still nothing came out. She was still too shaken by the news. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

He placed her hand on her lips and kissed it so tenderly. "Forgive me… I have to leave you and our…" his voice then broke, and he just gathered her lovingly into his embrace again.

Alicia cried. She did not know what else to feel at the moment anymore. There seemed to be a numb sensation that was spreading from the center of her, towards her extremities.

"You can't come along with me, my wife." He continued whispering into her ears. He could already feel the bonds that were as chains around him, pulling him away from her. "I can't risk you. And there is no guarantee if a non-demon could survive there. I still have no idea if that's possible no matter how powerful one is. But I will find out. I will find out everything."

Pulling away to look at her, he gave her a gentle kiss filled with promise. "Wait for me, Alicia. I promise I will come back to you and this time… I vow not to fail. And no… I will not make you wait for seven hundred years. I will do everything to come back to you as soon as possible. So don't cry…"

Her heart trembled and ached and broke all at once, but her tears had now stopped flowing down her eyes. This was enough for her. She would wait no matter how long. Waiting for him, knowing that he would one day come back to her side was… bearable. Losing him forever was not. She would wait… even if it ends up taking him seven hundred years. She would still wait…

Reaching out, she caressed his face as if memorizing every detail of him. Not that she had not already done that. She could feel it in her heart that this was it for them. At least for now. She had somehow felt the signs even from before, that this will not go well for them. But she had chosen to remain silent and not admit it. Even to herself.

She understood now that there was nothing that she could do but to continue trusting in him and believing in his capabilities. Her husband is the one and only Ezekiel, the powerful and renowned crown prince of the vampires. She would continue trusting that even in hell, he would somehow be able to bring about a miracle.
