Fang gave a hearty laugh on hearing my strained answer, sothing that I was not used to hearing and said, "do you want to kneel on one knee in front of you and ask for it holding a diamond ring?"
My eyes dropped in a 'seriously' expression. Fang was rich and though I was supposed to be richer than him, I was not. My mother cut even the little allowance I had before telling that money was enough and if I had saved it good for , or I can always return to the dungeons. But there was a need for Fang to casually rub it in my face that he was a rich man.
Or was he planning to actually arrange a proposal for ? Knowing Fang, he might even do that. I had to stop from those thoughts even popping into his head.
I was quick to reply, "Forget it Fang, I have no intentions to stay back in this kingdom. Adalolpha has given nothing but the darkness of dungeons and I know it is only because of this mission that I am here, outside tasting a little bit of freedom but this everything is a fleeting mont and I don't want to ruin what little ti I have because of your stupidity catching up to ."
It was my cold, harsh reality and if that marriage which Fang had brought for broke, there was no way my mother would let be free.
If what Fang said was true, then that marriage held the power to grant my brother a healthy life. And if that was broken, then Goddess Luna knows what my mother would do to . At this mont, I was walking on a thin line with Fang having marked , and if fate had wrong plans regarding it, then that fall will also take Fang with , which I did not want. There was no need for others to suffer because of .
There was silence on the other end of the line, and it imdiately had conscious of the fact that I had unconsciously shown my vulnerability to Fang.
How did it turn out like this! And this idiot kept quiet over it all, as if waiting for to vent more if needed.
I had to correct this. Fang would only get wrong impressions if he heard talking this way to him. It was like opening up near a person you would not even want to see for the rest of your life. I closed my eyes and shouted the first thing that ca to my mind to deflect from my topic, "And you look stupid with that long hair of yours. They hide all your sharp features..." My hand covered my mouth in shock. I wanted to talk about how stupid he was and here I ssed it up again.
"Is that so?" Fang asked with a snicker, and I can bet he was smirking right now.
What kind of stupidity I was doing after openly calling him an idiot. The more I tried to drive away from him, it felt like sothing kept compelling to go in his direction. "STUPID FANG!" I yelled before I cut the call and threw the phone on the other side of my bed. This was just not right.
I always kept trying to push things away from Fang, but it was like every part of my being wanted him near .
It had taken such a long ti to get used to others' touch or the closeness that Channing sotis tried to share with was never comfortable and yet, thinking about it, I had oddly eased into Fang's touch and his behaviour to always stand in my personal space. It reminded of what had happened last ti at Waterwoods and my hands imdiately went to cup my face. I could feel the heat rising on my face and I bet it was turning red.
"Idiot, Fang," I muttered under my breath, pulling the sheets over my head and going back to sleep.
For a long ti, I tossed and turned in the bed. It was hard to sleep as the old mories from the dungeons ca to haunt . Hailey's note ca as a reminder to that I had to be careful about my secret and shut her mouth because she had the key to send back to the dark, damp dungeons.
Suddenly, I heard a sound outside the door.
My bedroom door was not an issue as it had a lock from inside and no ans to open from outside, but I could hear soone rummaging near the main door of the house. The lights in my house had not been lit, and I quickly grabbed my mobile to check it was thirty past ten. The person outside the main door was not knocking, but trying to barge into my house.
My hands reached for the iron rod that was always below my bed and held it tightly in my hand, slowly going to my bedroom door in case that person breaks in here as well. The main door creaked open, and I got on my guards, hearing the footsteps walk straight to my bedroom.
Whosoever this person was, had so wrong intentions as they had chosen to co in without my knowledge. I held my breath, making my grip tight on the iron rod. It surely wasn't anyone from the village and with the speed that this person was able to unlock the main door, I doubted it to be so burglar or maybe soone who wanted revenge on .
Alright, if that was the ga, I would not hold back. I had created enough bad blood for myself anyway and this would give reasonable charges for whosoever it was.
I held my breath hearing the footsteps stop right in front of my bedroom door and I clenched my teeth, ready to attack.
