Hellbound With You (WN)

Chapter 796: Nine days

Alicia could feel it. She could also see it in his eyes. What he just said was the ultimate decision. No, a decision was actually an understatement. It seemed to be a purpose that he must fulfil at all costs. And no one… and nothing could change his mind.

Definitely it was because of their connection right now, but she just could tell for sure that he had been preparing for this his entire life. For so long, he had been waiting for this.

Like this had been his main goal in life all this time.

And it suddenly stung. Hard. And Alicia winced a little.

For a long while, they just stayed there, holding onto each other ’s gazes. Not saying anything, not moving and almost seem to be not breathing.

He was the first to give in and had his eyes flutter close. ”Don ’t… ” He choked out.

”Don ’t what? ” Alicia asked him back, pretending not to know.

”Don ’t look at me like… that. ” he uttered in a breathless and a little tight voice.

She tried her best to swallow the lump in her throat.

”Are you… going to leave after nine days? ” she asked him to distract herself before her emotions become a violent storm for him to withstand again.

”Yes. ” Just like her, he was trying to keep his calm as well.

”Why wait for nine days? There is something you must fulfil first, right? ” Alicia was hoping he would voluntarily offer the information without her digging him for it. Though she would not push him to do it, she could hope.
