Hellbound With You novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758 - Trust

Alicia's eyes widened, speechless and shocked to her core at what he just did. Her entire body burned from both shame and this infuriating…

When the tip of his lips curved up, Alicia saw that as him smiling in triumph and it only caused her to flare up even more. She lunged at him, and her balled fist swung forward and landed on his jaw. The punch was stronger than she had thought. Maybe because her wrath and pride had fuelled it, thus the extra strength behind it.

She was panting as Ezekiel stilled, face facing slightly sideways because of that one unexpectedly strong punch. Though she was glad her hit landed, she was a little apprehensive on how Ezekiel would react.

He licked the side of his lips, his lower lip had a cut and was now bleeding. Then slowly, he moved his face and looked back at her straight in the eyes.

"I… hate you." she hissed at him. Extreme anger raged like a lightning storm within her eyes.

"I know." He replied without any feelings in his voice.

His nonchalance enraged her even more. "I'm going to kill you!"

"Go ahead. Try it…" the fiery temperature had turned a little icy now, "if you can."

She opened her mouth but before the first syllable of the chant could even leave her lips, Ezekiel had pinned her back down. The speed of his actions had left her gasping for air. She knew that he was fast. But being on the receiving end of his unwanted attentions was a totally different matter. The next thing she knew was he had wedged himself between her legs, his hands were back on her wrists, wrapping around them tightly and pinning them down above her head. She struggled to pull her hands out of his grasp but as expected, it was to no avail.

His face hovered so close to hers again. "Why stop?" he asked in a controlled voice. "Go on, Alicia, say it." He taunted her, knowing that he was pushing her buttons.

"Damn you to hell," she gritted out through clenched teeth, eyes watering, hating how this weak and useless body of hers seemed to be making her look even more pitiful, vulnerable and emotional before him. "What the hell do you even want from me? Why not just let me disappear, huh, Ezekiel?! Why bother hanging onto me and keeping me around?" She spat out bitterly as her eyes looked away.

His expression became totally unreadable but his focus on her features did not dwindle one bit.

"Answer me. I know there must be a reason for you doing this. The great Ezekiel will never do anything without good reason after all, right? And I know for sure that whatever the reason it may be, it surely would be something along the lines of being beneficial to you or your people or this world." Alicia said tauntingly and then huff out in helplessness.

When Ezekiel did not even blink or showed any facial expression to her accusations, Alicia scoffed and laughed. "Of course… you would never even bother giving an answer. When have you ever bothered to give out any explanations – ever? Tell me Ezekiel… was it fun keeping everyone in the dark?" Her gleaming and watery eyes narrowed at him. "Do you find it entertaining using even your own allies like they're all your pawns at your very own disposal? Is it fun seeing us run around in circles and dancing to your tune?"

Silence reigned for a few horrible seconds. Alicia scoffed again, not bothered even if she was offending him as she was tired of it all. She finally shut her eyes to stop her damned eyes from getting all watery and itchy, but it just made a drop of tear flow down from the corner of her eyes.

"No." his deep voice suddenly echoed out in the silence, causing Alicia's eyes to fly wide open and look at him in shock. He… answered?!!

It took her a while to respond. "No… then why… why do you always do it?"
