Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 106.

He lets me. His hand stays on my waist but he doesn’t stop me from facing him.

He looks calm, too calm.

"You killed him?" I whisper.

"Yes."

"How do you even know it was him?"

"I made sure it was him and I don’t miss my target little spitfire."

His eyes harden when he says that.

"You’re sure?"

"I watched him admit it."

My throat tightens.

I don’t want details.

"When?" I ask.

"The very day you told me what he did, I went out to find him."

He’s been walking around me. Sleeping beside me..... touching me Knowing that.

"You didn’t tell me."

"No."

"Why."

His jaw clenches.

"Because I knew you’d look at me like this."

"Like what."

"Like I’m a monster."

My chest feels tight. I don’t know what I’m feeling.

Anger tries to come up first.

"You had no right. That was my kill eventually."

He nods once.

"I know."

"That was my....." I stop. My voice cracks. "That was my trauma to deal with."

"And he was still breathing."

The way he says it makes my skin prickle.

"You don’t get to decide that," I say.

"I already did."

Silence falls heavy between us.

I search his face for something. Shame, doubt..... Hesitation.

There’s none.

"I don’t regret it," he says.

My eyes flicker.

"Not even a little."

"You killed someone Zane."

"Yes I did."

"For me?."

"Yes."

My chest tightens painfully.

"You shouldn’t have."

"I would do it again and again."

My heart skips.

"Zane..."

"I would do it over and over," he says, voice steady, eyes locked on mine. "And I would kill anyone who thinks they can touch you like that ever again ."

There’s no exaggeration in him just the honest truth.

"And that’s supposed to make me feel better?" I ask.

"It’s supposed to make you understand."

"Understand what?"

"That no one hurts you and walks away."

My breathing gets uneven

"You think this fixes it?" I ask. "You think him being dead erases what happened to me?"

"No."

"Then what was the point?"

His face shifts slightly into something softer.

"The point is he doesn’t get to exist in the same world as you anymore."

My eyes burn and I blink rapidly.

"I didn’t ask you to avenge me."

"You didn’t have to. You are my wife."

I look down at my hands.

They’re shaking but not from fear.

From something else.

Part of me feels lighter and I hate that because that means some part of me is relieved that he is no more.

"He begged," Zane says quietly.

My head snaps u up

"I don’t want details."

"I’m not giving you details."
