Hellbound With You (WN)

Kai was frozen still as he gazed down at Kelly. He never planned to appear before her. After Abigail left, Kai had stormed out of his villa, and he didn ’t know how he ended up landing at the top of the building where Kelly resides.

He felt like the world had turned dark, hellish. His life had always been ordinary, mundane, and quiet. He never felt so empty and fulfilled until this woman came into his life. He never disliked being alone, he was used to it, and he never found it boring before. But now, everything had changed. He felt like he could no longer bear being alone again. She had become everything to him. He never thought forcing himself to leave her and forget her would destroy him like this. Even though he knew it was the only choice he had, he couldn ’t believe the extent of pain and torture he had felt. He knew that letting her go wouldn ’t be easy, but he never knew it would be this hard.

And now, he was staring at her in this dim-lit room, and she was a mess. Looking at her thin frame as she sat on the floor barefooted and looking as miserable as he was made his heart convulsed in both pain and anger. He realized his pain was much more tolerable than watching her like this. No pain was greater than seeing her crying and hurting like this. He couldn ’t help but blame the world and himself for hurting her.

Slowly, Kai walked towards her. All he wanted was to touch her, stroke her messy hair, and comfort her. He wanted to embrace her and ease her pain so she would return being that annoying hooligan again. When Kai came into his senses and found himself at the building ’s rooftop, Kai had fought an intense battle against himself whether to appear before her or not. He had thought about the things Abigail said to him, and he clenched his fists into tight balls. He had thought about going to that bastard Tristan and kill him. But then what would ’ve changed if he did that? Kelly was better of marrying a womanizer than marrying a man who would kill her. These thoughts steeled Kai ’s heart again, and he decided to go back. He thought he would just threaten the bastard or probably beat him up until he ’s half-dead once he catches him cheating on Kelly. That was all he could do for her because he knew that his love couldn ’t do anything good to her but her inevitable death.

He had waited for the night to deepen, planning to sneak inside her room and watch her sleeping face one last time, but what he saw shattered his resolve to leave.

”Oh, god… ” her voice was soft as she watched him approach her. She blinked her eyes to let the tears flow from her blurry eyes and to have a clearer view of the angel approaching her. ”It seemed drinking is a very wise choice, ” she added, a pleased smile now flashing on her face.

When Kai squatted before her, she lifted her hand and touched his face. Kai ’s body shook a little at her touch. Her palm was so warm. Her familiar scent made him hold his breath, and it took him an inconsiderable control to keep himself still.

”Not if it ’s too much, ” he said, shaking his head as he glanced at the bottles on the floor.

She chuckled. Kai swallowed as his eyes remained glued on her. She was drunk, but her drunken laughter still sounded very sad and pained.
