Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: 135

Heaven was surprised to see Zarin looking the way he did. He was half-dressed like the other male demons in the kingdom and wore several bracelets around his arms. His black hair had grown to beneath his shoulders and his blue eyes had hints of gold. He looked like himself, yet different.

"Zarin?" She stood up from her seat.

"Heaven, what are you doing here?" He said, surprised and confused.

"Did grandma not visit you?"

His eyes widened. "Is grandma also here?"

"Yes." She stared at him from top to toe. "What happened to you?" She asked.

He held his arms out and shrugged. "Nothing. What happened to you? Why are you here?"

"Grandpa forced me to come here. Now do you still believe he wants what is best for me?"

Zarin narrowed his eyes. He looked displeased. "Your parents are not here." He said in realization.

"No. But your parents are not here as well and you seem to be alright." She pointed.

Something in his gaze changed, but then he smiled. "I am alright. How are you?"

"Are you asking because you care?" She asked.

This was why she had been avoiding to talk to him. She wasn't emotionally stable yet and knew that she would end up fighting with him.

He frowned. "No matter what you think Heaven, I do care for you." He said firmly.

"Of course. You just don't want me to be with Zamiel and the devil fulfilled your wish. So here I am. Are you happy now?"

She was being childish, but she just had so many emotions inside that she wanted to let out.

He sighed. "It is not what you think." He said.

"Is it not?" She tilted her head to one side and pretended to be thoughtful. "Is it not that you hated to see me change, and you didn't like Zamiel because he was the one causing the change in me. You hated that I was finding my own way because you were afraid to be left behind. Seeing me having finding a purpose made you feel lacking and since you didn't want to change, you tried to make me remain the same. Am I wrong?"

His gaze darkened, but he didn't deny it.

"You said you loved me, but that was only to make yourself feel better and justify your behavior." She had been confused about Zarin suddenly confessing his love but staying in this kingdom, observing the other demons and her grandfather made her learn and realize a few things.

People lied to themselves to feel better about their actions and that is what Zarin did. He didn't love her. He was only jealous, frightened, insecure, and selfish, and he didn't want to admit it to himself. It was easier for him to tell himself that he was doing it all because he loved her and cared for her.

Zarin clenched his jaw and looked into eyes. "You are right." He admitted. "I don't love you that way. I just hated to see you change. I hated the new you and I hate Zamiel."

The gold in his eyes seemed to glow as he spoke. "But you have already changed now. You are not my old friend anymore so I am leaving you and Zamiel alone."

Heaven nodded. Strangely, it didn't hurt as she thought it would. Her heart was numb and instead of being worried about it, she was relieved. She was tired of getting hurt. She wouldn't let anyone hurt her anymore.

But still, she cared for him, and the change in him worried her. What happened to him?

"You seem to have changed as well." She said calmly.
