Chapter 94 My Nature has changed
Arianna's POV
I gulped hard staring at him as his words were infuriating. Kylian taps his fingers on the mug.
He seems uncomfortable yet kept a curious gaze at me. It seems as though he wanted to see my reaction.
Obviously, I knew who he was talking about but just acted as though it was a stranger.
"What? Kylian, who?" I said grudgingly while peeking around to find him. At first I had thought he was trying to pull my legs.
"Me" his voice drew in and I rolled my eyes to where he was. My heart skipped as I almost lost my breath.
It felt as though a part of me which had been missing returned, however, I buried the emotions that were surging inside me.
I kept a straight face, my teary eyes has to succumb to my order, never letting him feel I was weak, or needed him.
Kylian squeezed his lips. He has dreamy eyes at me as though anticipating the moment.
His face had brighten up. Shouldn't he be mad at ravyen. Besides, they were never in good terms and he should have prevented this man from drawing closer to me.
"Tell him I don't want to see him" I barked and Kylian grimanced at me. Obviously, he didn't want to rely any message.
He stood up with the mug of coffee and heaves softly.
"Don't get me involved" he concluded and almost left when he pats ravyen on the right shoulder and said;
"But I'd be watching up closely"
Almost immediately, he walked away. I was left with him. My lashes flutters at him as I felt my heart fluster at each step he took closer to me.
I just couldn't understand myself. My heart was screaming that he came back, just for me.
Right that moment, I shun the thought. I've got to be hard and not act naive. My nature has to change.
He hurt me, he belittled me and scolded at me. Oh yeah, everyone would point it down that it wasn't a real marriage but that doesn't mean I don't have a right!
He appeared like a gentleman and so will he be! His dark side can be kept aside but with me, he should respect him.
I had a frown staring at him as he was right in front of me. He was an inche closer.
I was still seated and the way he stared gave me goosebumps as I cringed.
He face looked sullen, like he hasn't gotten enough sleep. It was just a day away and he looks like a knight in distress.
His head still had the bandage of earlier. When Kylian had told me he was abducted, it felt so hard to believe because ravyen should be fearless.
To be sincere, I was scared, weary and filled with worries for him. He needed someone to be with, to console him that he survived.
Someone to take the nightmares of those kidnappers from him. I could tell he was weak at heart but only tried to appear strong.
My eyes settled on his bruised face. He hasn't healed up yet. It must have hurt a lot and I felt the pain in my heart.
"Anything you have to say, I'm not interested" I brawl with a grievous look at him.
I just wanted to appear as though I wasn't concerned. My hands were trembling as I avoided his gaze.
I refuse to fall under his bewitching eyes and get hypnotized.
He licked his lower lip and then gasped softly.
"Arianna..." He paused and heaved a sigh. His cruel look gave chances to be soft and quite humble.
Oh his pride wouldn't let him say the magic word.
It seems as though he was under pressure coming here and that was something I just didn't want.
He tried to touch my hands but I snapped him out of it. He wanted to be close and I wasn't giving him the chance.
I ducked my head as he lowered his eyes down.
He looked funny with the way he appeared, like a kid trying to find solace in his mom.
His hands were shaking as he held them in a place. Folding his lips. I could he was sweaty.
"I'm sorry Arianna, I knew I screwed up" he added with a teary eyes at me. I wonder if he wrote it like last time, when he intended to apologize.
He wouldn't change, I was certain of that.
I acted as though I didn't hear that line. He tried to hold my hand but I shoved it away and stood up to leave.
The cold breeze blew pass us and I felt wintry, wanting to run inside the penthouse.
Obviously, it would rain, judging from the thunderclap and the change of weather.
It was getting darker and the sky gave room to thick clouds. I wanted him to leave just not to get hit by the rain.
The best way to get him pissed off is say something harsh. He doesn't keep quiet when I call her name in it.
"Why don't you meet Bianca, and bring her back" I snarled and almost walk out on him but he held my hand and pulled me back.
I fell lazily on his chest pant softly, my body crouch on him as my hand rested on his arms.
We exchanged breath and I was mesmerized. His touch sent cold running down my spine.
It was so hard not to resist him. My eyes lingered around his lips. They were inviting but a bit chapped.
"Arianna, I realized I was wrong, please give me a chance to explain" he mutters with a soothing tone that almost melted my heart.
However, I pushed him back. Unlike before, he always had me trapped with him but it seems he was letting me have my way.
He wasn't infuriated when I called her name. I quickly moved away from him, trying to gain my strength.
It was getting colder.
His appearance got me infuriated as I didn't want to see him, let alone hear of his apology.
He was so infuriating and I was trying to keep calm.
"Leave! Now!" I ordered with a stern look at him.
