Welcome to Hell (by Williane Kassia) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Magnus Hale

I look down and see Adrian with his cheek resting against my chest,

eyes closed, as if he’s home. As if my arms were the safe haven he’s

always been searching for. And I don’t doubt for a second that’s

exactly what’s going through that restless head of his.

In this moment, he seems like just an ordinary boy, wanting love. It

always amazes me how naturally he declares what he feels. He keeps

nothing to himself. At certain times, he’s like a puppy: any small

gesture lights him up.

A returned kiss brings a wide smile to his face; if I hug him back, his

heart races as if it’s about to explode.

It’s strange to realize that some of his actions reveal pure humanity.

Adrian acts like someone who simply needs protection, affection, and

care.

As much as he says he prefers only to serve me, I saw the truth when I

washed him that night. The joy written all over his face was

impossible to hide. He wants to be cared for too, even if he won’t

admit it.

Chapter 225

But I can’t let myself be fooled by this angel face, by this sweet way

he holds me. I know what hides behind it. It would only take one

mistake from me–one false step–and this same boy who now seems

so human in my arms could become a demon.

“Love.”

The word snaps me out of my thoughts. Those black eyes are fixed on

1. me. Before, they brought terror, as if a darkness could swallow me

whole. When he transforms into that terrifying boy, he is still

fearsome, impossible to ignore. But now, I find it nothing short of

fascinating.

“Yes, Adrian?” I pull him even closer.

His heart races against my chest, and that amuses me deep down.

Adrian hides nothing; his feelings overflow, pure and transparent.

Even though he’s insane, I can admit there’s sincerity when he claims

to love me. His heart is the proof of it; all I have to do is return any

gesture, and his pulse jumps, like it’s going to burst.

“Let’s

go

inside. I’m hungry. I couldn’t finish my food because I kept

thinking I’d left you dissatisfied.”

I feel a pang inside me.

Chapter 225

He didn’t eat because of me, because I couldn’t control the jealousy

gnawing at me. I don’t know why I feel this; I can’t understand it. Just

seeing him near someone else irritates me, as if the whole world were

trying to rip him away from me.

Even knowing that Adrian loves me–like right now, when I say his

heart always gives away the truth–I still feel insecure.

It’s ridiculous. I think that at any moment he might get tired and stop

liking me, especially if I allow myself to love him back.

But I already do. I like his presence, this body pressed against mine,

this embrace that envelops me. It’s good. Too good.

And that is exactly what makes me anxious. I’m not used to this

feeling; I don’t know how to deal with it.

I better stop with these goddamn thoughts before they consume me

more than they already do.

“Right. Let’s go. I’m starting to get hungry too.”
