Abruptly, Alex's expression changed again. His mischievous smile faded and his eyes smoldered with intense emotions. His long and elegant finger found its way to her lips and he brushed them so slowly.
"Tell … those words that that man told you…" he uttered seriously, making Abi's heart thump erratically. "Did you like hearing them?"
Abi subconsciously swallowed because Alex was again exuding a cold, chilly aura. He really changed way too fast; his moods, his expressions, the way he spoke. He was changing as if soone was pointing a remote control on him and switching his channels in a blink of an eye.
But sohow, she felt calm and relaxed despite the fact they were in a dangerous place. Well, dangerous for her. There was no way she would still be alive if she fell from that height. But again, she was calm because she knew he would never let her fall despite him telling her he would drop her.
Looking back at him, Abi could only give him an honest response. She was not going to anger him anymore. She would go back to acting like her normal self and answer him without the motive of pushing him to the edge.
"Of course, I like to hear them as long as they co from the lips of the man I love," she answered and Alex fell silent for a mont.
"So you wouldn't like it if I say it?" his gaze intensified.
"W-why would you say it? You don't love . You only want ."
He narrowed his eyes again. "Then I'll change my previous statent." He cupped her face, moving his face closer to hers. "I want you. I love you…" he uttered and Abi's heart clenched at hearing those words. How could he say these things so casually? As if love was just a simple word that ant nothing at all.
Trying her best not to show the slight tug of pain in her heart, Abi looked away. "Do you… do you even know what 'love' is?" she asked before returning her gaze on him.
Alex tilted his head. "I don't," he answered and a small, ironic smile curved on Abi's lips. Of course he would say that.
"But if love is sothing that surpasses wants and needs and addictions then I'm certain I love you."
At those words, Abi felt her heart flutter within her chest. She gazed into his eyes with wide eyes. She couldn't believe what he just said. She was totally thunderstruck.
"I'll say anything you want to hear, Abigail. Just choose already. Forget about them and like instead. You don't know what you are doing to . I smashed a pillar because I was trying to stop myself from hurting that man, because I knew you would hate if I did. You may call this an obsession but if this is just an obsession, it wouldn't matter to if you hated . I would have hit that man with everything I had and I would just drag you to my bed and tie you there for the rest of your life. But the fact that my body refuses to do that ans that this is not an obsession. I want to give you everything you want. Whatever it is, I'll give it to you. Even if you ask to give you the world, I'll make it happen!"
Abi couldn't speak. Everything he said pierced through her heart. She realized that her Alex's heart must not have forgotten her. All these words he was saying sounded like sothing her Alex would have said and that was more than enough to lt her entire being.
He sounded like the devil tempting her. But, she didn't want the world. All she wanted was for him to co back to her, to rember her and their love for each other. She wanted the Alex she married, the Alex that shared those precious mories with her, the man who stayed with her through the good and bad tis. She wanted him to rember everything. He had to rember everything.
Abi really wanted to just spit it out. That she was his wife, that she was his beloved that he had forgotten so that she could finally hug him and hold him right then and there. But she couldn't. Zeke had warned her about the risk. Zeke told her that if Alex would find out that he had lost his mories, the man would definitely make a move to find out if that was true. He would do everything he could to try and get them back, possibly even go on a rampage and beco uncontrollable. The first thing he would definitely do would be to leave by himself to look for witches to get an answer and that was the last thing they wanted to happen because then he would be putting himself in danger. They needed to hunt the witches together, so that these witches stood no chance of being able to manipulate Alex.
That was why Abi couldn't say it. All she could do was wait until his mories returned. Until then, she would be his maid and not his wife.
As the silence dragged on Abi didn't realize that she was looking at him with sadness in her eyes. Alex misread her emotion and thought that what he said was still not enough to get this girl. He thought that she was looking at him like that because she was sorry. And that lit up the inferno inside him that he couldn't contain.
And before he knew it, he cupped her face. Damn. He was angry. His desire for her was beyond redemption. He had never felt desire like this for soone in his entire existence. His desire to make her his was far greater than the desire he had when he had wanted to conquer the world. This woman surpassed everything else. Yet she seed to be harder to conquer than the world.
His inner demon was telling him to break his promise and just grab her and tie her to him. It was all his mind could think of. He was the king of Kings. The strongest in this world. Yet he couldn't get this single woman?!
His eyes blazed like a furnace as he looked at her and goosebumps enveloped Abigail. This was the first ti in a long ti that Abi felt like this towards him.
"You are mine, Abigail. I am not going to let anyone else have you. You are mine," he pressed as he moved closer to kiss her when suddenly, he froze.
Abi, who had forgot to breathe for a mont, snapped out of it when he didn't move an inch. And his body temperature seed to have drastically dropped down. Was it her imagination?
"A-alex?" she called out when she saw that he was standing still as if he had just looked into dusas eyes.
His forehead then creased and his grip on her tightened.
Abi didn't know why but her heartbeat accelerated. He was cold, so cold Abi felt like she too was going to freeze with him. "What's wrong?" she asked. Seeing him suddenly sweat and start to pant like he couldn't breathe made her panic. She had never seen Alex in that state before. "Alex… what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Let go of ," he managed to say between his breaths.
"No, you will fall!"
They were standing on the roof of one of the towers that stood taller than any other structure of the castle. The roof was quite steep and there were no flat areas for them to stand on. The closest flat area was way down below. Abi was holding tightly on to Alex who held on to a solid pole that held the country's flag up.
"It's okay, I won't die even if I fall from here." He smirked. How could he still smirk in this situation? "Let go now, or I might drag u down with . Zeke will co get you later…"
He started to look like he was in intense pain as he grabbed her hands and yanked then off him. "Grab the… pole…"
"No! I won't let you fall! No! Alex!"
