SPELLBOUND Chapter 281 - Distrust

Chapter 281 - Distrust

"Fine… as you wish, let's talk." He uttered with no warmth in his voice. "Let's talk about that man you married, Evie."

Evie felt her heart squeezed in pain as she looked at him. His eyes were coated over with anger. Now that she was looking at him without that nagging thought that he was someone else, Evie realized how wretched he looked. And she could barely hold back her tears from spilling from her eyes.

He had the look of a man who went through h.e.l.l over and over. He was spilling over with so much darkness and power, but he was heartbreakingly damaged. At that moment, Evie realized what people meant when they say there was something hauntingly beautiful in broken things.

This man… how hauntingly beautiful he was right now as he looked down at her.

Just looking at him made her heart bleed and she could no longer hold back her tears from falling silently from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing the tears falling from her eyes, Gavrael's jaws worked. He loosened his grip on her wrists thinking that he must have hurt her. Or was she tearing up to throw him off, because she knew her tears were always his greatest weakness?

The thought made him harden his heart. "If you think your tears will work on me like it used to, then I'm sorry to tell you it isn't as effective anymore, Evie. So, stop crying and talk now. Tell me everything you know about that man. Because if you don't, I might force –" He was cut off before he could finish his warning.

Suddenly, her soft and warm lips come cras.h.i.+ng against his, making him freeze in shock. That was the last thing that he would have thought she would do.

His eyes widened, not sure how to respond for a few seconds. His brain stopped working for a while until she fell back on the bed again. What was she doing? After all her defiance and utter fear towards him since they saw each other again, she suddenly kissed him on her own accord?

Gavrael's heart which he thought had turned into stone shook at that single simple move she did. And he did not like how he responded, the reaction of his own heart. His foolish heart that never seemed to learn its lesson. He told himself that this girl was definitely trying to mellow him out and then when he loosened up his hold, she would escape and leave him…

His aura darkened again at those thoughts and Evie could not help but smile bitterly.

It was obvious to her that he was fighting against his responses to her. And she did not like that he seemed to have truly and successfully learned to control his reaction to her.

She badly wanted to talk now but she wanted him to loosen up first. How could she even start when he was filled with fury right now? His barriers were up so high that she could practically see it up. Could he even understand or accept what she was going to tell him when he was like this? He looked like he was about to blow up any second and she could not help but worry if she should start now or must she calm him down first. She also worried that he might not believe her since she could already feel his distrust. There were huge trust issues that he held as a grudge towards her.

She also felt that he did not even believe her kiss was real. The thought that he might blow up or storm out before she could even tell him everything made her feel hesitant. He had done it quite a few times already. He raged if she mentioned something he did not like, then stopped her from talking or disappear so he would not have to hear what she was saying.

"Alright… I will speak but I want you to… not leave until I'm finished telling you everything. I want you to listen to me until the end…" She said and as expected, his face darkened. "Also… could you calm down first, please? You know how intense you are right now, right? It's hard to talk if your aura is this strong."

He smirked. A cold and dead smirk. "Don't waste your time, Evie because even if I want to, it's not possible for me to calm down anymore. This is how I am now, Evie… I can't suppress my darkness anymore so get used to it from here on."

"Are you sure about that? That it's no longer possible?" she asked softly, and he frowned, frustration flas.h.i.+ng in his again because of her stubbornness.

"Stop testing my limit, Evie and just…"

Once again, he was stopped by the touch of her lips against his own. Gavrael let go of her hands to grab onto her shoulders and pushed her down. But Evie took this opportunity to quickly wrap her hands around his neck. And she was careful to do it as gently and lovingly as she could, not wanting to trigger him further.

And soon as she got a hold of him, she pulled away a little. However, their lips were still slightly touching each other's.

"I'd like to see it for myself, Gav. If what you said is true... that's its no longer possible for you to calm down..." She whispered and then suddenly she kissed him again, this time harder, wilder, as she pa.s.sionately tried to pry his lips open. And he mentally berated himself harshly because he opened up to her almost immediately as if he had been waiting so desperately for eternity for her to kiss him like this. He was like a parched desert land that had sweet cool rain finally falling on it after such a long time.
