Chapter 30
Hayden
“when c.. can I leave? ”
“we’ve already been through this before, and I won’t say it again, you aren’t leaving! ” I grounded out more harshly than I intended to.
She flinched a little, I noticed she does that a lot lately , even at the slightest of my touch.
Her lower lips trembled as she blinked back tears
I stared at her for a while , she looked so small, fragile and innocent for all the shit that’s happened to her . Shits that were caused by me
She was right, I really was a monster, I couldn’t deny that….. no I loved it when people gets scared of me, because only then would they obey, but it had snapped a nerve hearing it coming directly from her mouth last night.
I found that I didn’t want her to think of me that way, it had….
It had hurt a forbidden place in me, that I didn’t knew still existed..
It had made me felt so vulnerable and weak..
Right now I wondered how her life might have been if I didn’t barge into it and wreck it….. smeared it with my hate.
I had broken her..
but it hadn’t been last night..
It was way long before that..
I muttered a curse under my breath as I made my way inside the kitchen .
A huge part of me knew she was naive and just got caught up in all of these
Even at that I couldn’t let her go, she was fucking light but I tainted her with my darkness . Now there was no getting out of it for the both of us… We are forever stuck with each other, I’ll keep her with me no matter what it takes
Thinking about it, even without the revenge I had against her father, Matteo, she would have still belonged to me.
I still would have found her and claim her as mine.
She was much different after what happened last night, I could feel the fear radiating from her, she seemed even more afraid of me if anything…
Well I gave her reasons enough to.
Last night maybe I took things a little over to the extreme…
Hell no .
I took it over to the extreme…
I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself from taking her last night, I don’t regret taking her, that had been bound to happen from the first moment I laid my eyes on her , but I should have been a little more gentler about it.
But my control had snapped at the last moment when she said those words.
I made a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and bread, yes I can cook, it was the only thing I learned from mother before she passed away, i made my way back to the dining room.
She didn’t look up as I approached, she kept playing with her fingers nervously , I arranged the plates in front of her .
“Eat”
Her bottom lips trembled slightly but she did as I told her.
I watched as she ate silently, not for once did she look up at me, I get the feeling that she was trying to pretend I wasn’t here.
The thought bothered me, it left a tightening sensation in the pit of my stomach
She chewed slowly on the eggs, her tongue darting out to lick her bottom lips , I felt heat pooled at my loins, I wanted to bend her over the table and sheath myself deep into her, fuck both of our brains out.
“W.. what about your brother? ” she suddenly asked
One of my brows arched up in surprise , I didn’t think she would want to start a conversation with me, I couldn’t guess why she was asking…
Unless she thought….
“you mean Sebastian…? Oh he knows you are here… Against your will” I added the last part to make sure she understood it perfectly…
She nodded her head slowly as if in understanding then motioned at the food
“Did you make this? ”
Both my brows raised at that , what’s going on with her? NôvelDrama.Org content.
“I like it, it delicious ” she said throwing a small smile at me showcasing her dimples.
What the actual hell…
My heart gave a loud kick, for a moment I could only stare at her, what was going on with her?
“Then I’ll make one for you everday ”
To my surprise she just nodded and continued eating, wasn’t she supposed to be screaming for me to let her go? Not that I would anyways…..
But she should have reacted differently….
Not like this….
But she looked so beautiful when she smiled, it made my heart clench tightly and to breathe almost became difficult.
I found myself wanting to see more of that.
***********************************
Sebastian was right, something was wrong, we walked quietly through the now vacant house
When I said her parents doesn’t care about her it was the plain truth, Sebastian had called me earlier for some urgent matter…
It was about her parents…..
Or rather her her uncle and his wife and daughter.
They moved out of their house, so hastily that they didn’t even take any of their belongings along with them.
But it wasn’t all about that , it was the last phone call he had made to some friend of his , we know all of these because his phone conversation was tapped, how else had we kept him under our control all these years.
Their entire conversation had been suspicious .
He’d said;
They took Gracie without suspecting a thing, everything is finally going to be over.
I stared at the documents in front of me..
“What do you think it’s all about? ” I asked, we stared at each other briefly, I couldn’t come to a conclusion just yet but there was just the possibility that…
“I think that Matteo is still alive ” Sebastian voiced out the thought on my mind.
“He’s dead” I stated but it lacked conviction.
I had watched as dad pulled a bullet through his head, he’d died right there on the spot.
“unless other twin died in place of him?” he suggested with a slight shrug.
But how could that be?
Had we made a mistake all these years?
So many points were still missing, there were still many gaps as to all of these, but if the person that died years ago hadn’t been Matteo but his twin brother instead, it would make things much more complicated.
But then it would perfectly explain all these doctors report in front of me.
“there’s one way to find out” I said meaningfully.
” we’ll get him. ”
