Hellbound With You (WN)

The two of them were finally on their way, with Alex driving much faster than he did the day before. It didn ’t seem to bother him that there were big gaps at the 2 o ’clock and 10 o ’clock positions on the wheel.

Abi stole a glance at him and she saw that he seemed to be in a cheerful mood. He had a playful smile on his face and she thought that she actually heard him humming! Whoa… was that right? Was he actually humming a tune?

Abi returned her gaze to the road and closed her eyes, listening carefully to see if she could figure out the tune he was humming. Her eyes suddenly widened as she heard the melody. It was their song. He was humming the melody of Can ’t help falling in love.

Abi ’s heart pounded on her chest. Did he remember finally? She clenched her hands from the hope she just felt. But… if he remembered, then why didn ’t he act like it? Why didn ’t he call her his wife, or ask why she was wearing their wedding rings around her neck instead of on their fingers? Her mind reasoned out and her hope deflated just as fast as it had swelled.

She gritted her teeth and bit her lip to stop the emotion from flowing out. No, he still didn ’t remember. But hearing him humming her song kept the small flame of hope alive. Somewhere in there was her husband and she wasn ’t going to give up until she got him back.

In what seemed like no time at all, the two of them arrived at the palace. The car screeched to a halt in front of the entrance where Zeke was standing by, obviously waiting for them to arrive.

That uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach was in full bloom. It slowly increased as they neared the city and it was even more prevalent now when she saw Zeke looking very serious as he waited by the stairs.

” You ’re late. Let ’s go, ” Zeke said to Alex, sounding as serious as ever. He was wearing his poker face and while his greeting to Alex was very blunt, he didn ’t even say a word to Abi. He just turned around and just expected both of them to just follow.

However, as they ascended the stairs towards the courtroom, Zeke halted. He turned to them and said, ”I think it will be better if your maid waits in my room. ” He was obviously addressing Alex, talking about Abi as if she wasn ’t there.
