Hellbound With You (WN)

Abi just stared up at him. Her body slowly relaxed, maybe because she finally let out her anger. Or maybe, she softened up again, hearing these words he was saying, calling himself a monster like it was a fact.

She almost reached out to hug him and tell him he wasn ’t a monster, that she had never seen him as a monster, but she refrained herself.

”No. I ’m not scared of you, ” she told him almost insolently, causing him to narrow his eyes. ”I just… hate… cheating, womanizing bastards… ” she continued as her eyes wandered around.

”Cheating… ” he echoed. ”Why would you say I ’m cheating? ”

Abi blinked and said nothing, her brain somewhat shutting down from her slip up.

”Speak, ” Alex commanded.

Abi found herself in a dilemma. Oh no! How was she going to get out of this? Of course Alex wouldn ’t think he was cheating if he had no partner, no wife to cheat on!

She had slipped up by calling him names and now she had to think of an excuse, something that would make sense! She couldn ’t very well tell him that it was because he was a married man. Her eyes wandered around again and her eyes caught some objects sitting on top of the bedside table.

There was a necklace with a couple of rings on it, sitting there. Those were their wedding rings and her engagement ring. Upon seeing them, Abi ’s heart squeezed so tight that she could hardly breath. She almost cried.

”Aren ’t you… married? ” her voice became weak as she spoke, not tearing her eyes off the rings.

Alex creased his brows and followed her line of sight.

”Those were wedding rings, right? ”

She looked at him and their eyes met.
