Chapter 331: Why Should I, Huh?
Avelina said to him.
"You see, what’s special about this man is that he sees
for . I do not know how to explain it, but he makes
feel valued beyond just the surface of beauty. He loves my flaws, and even things people dislike about , he loves them."
"He made
realize my worth, so...how could I not love him this much and stoop this low?" She exhaled.
Edward’s jaw clenched in deep disgust. He scowled. "So what? I see you much more than that!"
"Huh?" Avelina was stunned for a few seconds. "What do you an by that?"
Edward took a deep breath. This was finally his chance. Now that she was having questions and second thoughts, he could tell her how he felt and let her know. It might be his chance to finally make her his.
"Listen, Avelina, I know this may be coming out of the blue, but...I feel sothing for you. No, I love you. I do, I really do."
"What?" Was the only word Avelina could utter.
"Yes." Edward nodded his head at her. "I have always loved you, from the mont I t you that night at the auction. I still feel very bittered that I didn’t have enough on
to get you. He beat
to it, but I never stopped loving you. I’d always thought of you and wondered how you’d been! That is how much I love you!"
"I really wasn’t going to tell you, but I think this is the right ti to let out my feelings to you. I have less than three days left to be in this royal mansion, so—"
"PLEASE STOP!" Avelina glared, looking at him as though staring at a whole other distasteful being. "How can you say that to ? What in the world are you even saying?" She was starting to get very uncomfortable.
Edward halted, frowning at her. "What do you an by that?"
Avelina contorted her face in disbelief. "I am married, Edward! And I love my husband! There cannot be anything between you and—"
"There has to be, Avelina!" Edward scowled at her. "The man you love doesn’t even love you. He isn’t even willing to let you stay with him. Don’t you feel the least ashad? Do you not have any pride at all?!"
"What the hell are you—"
Edward angrily gripped her shoulders, pulling her closer to him and looking into her eyes.
"Let go of , Edward!" Avelina struggled to free herself from him.
But Edward was not willing to let go. The more she struggled, the more he tightened his hold on her.
"I love you, Avelina, and you should be with ! I’ll take care of you, and I will make you happy!"
"It does not matter if you are married, you can always have a divorce just for . I an, shouldn’t you be grateful that a vampire such as
is in love with you? A re human like you? Common, don’t play this hard to—"
BAM!
Avelina slapped him hard across the face, her chest rising and falling in heavy breathing. "Take your filthy hands off ! You disgust !"
"If I knew this was what you truly had in mind, I would never have allowed you to say a word to !" she bellowed, pushing his hands off.
She stood up from the bench to storm off, despite her ankle hurting a bit, but Edward gripped her hand, pulling her back. Before she could even completely process what was happening, Edward tightly locked her in his grip, not giving her a chance to leave.
He was a vampire, after all. His power was much greater than hers.
"Why the hell are you so obsessed with him? Why?!" he scread into her ears. "What in the world does that asshole have that I do not have? What can he give you that I cannot give you?! Answer , Avelina!"
"Let go of !" Avelina struggled, glaring at him. But it was plainly clear that he had no intention of doing so.
She pressed her hands against his chest, wanting to push him off, but she accidentally stumbled on her feet, thus falling to the ground, pulling him along with her in the process.
"Urgh! Get off , Edward. Please, let go of !" she began to plead, no longer knowing what to do. Her heart right there was screaming at her to run and never look back. This man’s intention was terrible—she could tell imdiately. She was in danger!
The royal mansion was too quiet, as everyone had gone to sleep, therefore, it was just them. Who would help her?
"Why should I, huh?" Edward questioned. "You really have gotten on my nerves, Avelina. I cannot understand how you can love that asshole and not . He doesn’t even treat you well!"
He grabbed her waist, starting to stroke all the way down.
Avelina’s eyes widened, and she scread at the top of her lungs. "HELP ! Soone help , please!"
"DRAVEN! Draven, please help—"
Her words turned into a muffle, and Edward angrily grabbed her chin with such harshness that Avelina felt her chin almost dislocate at that instant. He forcefully pressed his lips against hers, kissing her with such aggressiveness.
Avelina struggled beneath him, wanting to break it off—to run from him, but he wasn’t giving her a chance. Hot tears began to trickle from her eyes, suddenly recalling a certain mory again.
How has a peaceful morning escalated to this point? She was almost about to lose her mind when she suddenly felt the weight on her lifted.
She blinked her teary eyes open, and there before her, Draven stood, his hand wrapped around Edward’s neck. He looked like a beast, with burning eyes and nails elongated to the point that his fingers and hands were veiny.
He was furious, beyond what she had ever seen.
Avelina quickly began to crawl back, her shoulders rising and falling as though she couldn’t even catch her breath any longer.
"How. Dare. You. Touch. MY WIFE?!!" Draven shouted in Edward’s face and furiously punched him, also scarring his face in the process.
