(Arata)
The sound of my slap echoed in my apartnt.
Loud and clear. Followed by the snapping of my heart in two, it burst from the pain his words had caused . He ant to say he was too good for because I had been sleeping with another man.
He didn’t know that at the start, it was just lust and fun, and then it beca a distraction because of him.
He stood like a marble monunt carved by silence as his head slightly turned from the impact of my slap. His hollowed cheek had my fingerprints plastered on it as his head swivelled back towards .
A veil of glacial emptiness I t, except his eyes, where sothing was buried too deep for to find. There was no surprise in his expression as if he had instigated to slap him as if he was expecting to do it.
His hand didn’t even reach out to caress his cheek; he just blankly stared and stared as tears finally slipped out of my eyes and fell onto my cheeks.
"How fucking dare you?" I cried, my heart breaking into a million pieces. "You want soone cold, fine. The Arata who fell in love with you is dead from this mont forward, so congratulations. Now, get out of my apartnt."
He didn’t move, just stared. His expression was wavering like smoke, giving nothing away. His eyes dipped to the tears slipping down my cheeks.
"GET OUT," I shouted at the top of my lungs, finding his presence obnoxious. I could no longer breathe; the token of his affections around my throat felt like a collar of thorns, wounding , inflicting pain on . Snatching it away from my skin, I threw it in his face. It hit his neck and got trapped in his collar.
But he didn’t even flinch unlike he had done just an hour ago. I even doubted he was the sa man and not his evil twin.
Karsten still refused to speak or move, only watching make a ss of myself.
Was he satisfied that he had broken today? He always found too stubborn, wishing to break .
"Give it to soone who doesn’t sleep around," I yelled in disgust.
Even this dress constricted around my flesh, the promise of sothing which it wasn’t. Clad around , I felt trapped in this gilded cage, which angered more.
This needed to go, maybe he should give it to soone he found chaste enough.
Throwing it open, I pulled down the side zippers and began to strip in front of him. I didn’t want any tokens of his false affections and sham devotions.
Sothing shifted on his face, darkening his expression and eyes. I had no interest in understanding what it was as I took it off, leaving myself in my panties and bralette. I didn’t care, I would consider the consequences of my actions later.
Picking up the fancy dress, I just shoved it into his chest.
"Take your tokens and leave."
He caught it, his hand brushed against mine. A cold sensation filled , and I snatched my hand away, not wanting to be touched anymore.
He lingered like a sceptre as if wishing to say sothing but I stepped away. His proximity brought back too many painful mories. The ones I wanted to shove down and bury now.
Stepping away I simply pointed to the door.
"Leave."
With a heavy sigh, he finally moved but not before saying. His eyes didn’t et mine, instead, he stared at the door while holding the dress in his hands.
"Once Caysir returns I want you back. Your room will be ready. Don’t make co to get you."
I folded my arms around my half-naked body, feeling exposed and vulnerable, totally broken. I just wanted him gone and to have peace for a mont. His presence was tornting and I wasn’t sure how much I could take more.
"Just get out, I want to be alone. I don’t care what you do or whom you call. I will co when I want to co."
His head turned at my words, his eyes lingering on the tears clinging to my cheeks. Like the ruins of sothing tender, his gaze glued to them for an unspeakable eternity.
And then without another word, he opened the door and quietly left, closing the door behind him.
The thud was like the clash of the guillotine on my heart like sothing had forever been severed inside .
Locking the door everything ca crashing down as I stumbled to the carpeted floor and leaned against the wood.
Gathering my legs I cradled my knees and squashed them against my chest. Burying my face between my legs, I totally broke down.
My throat clogged, and the tears non-stop flowed from my eyes as I sniffled and choked on the tumbling emotions.
Ranold was right, I had been so obsessed with Karsten that I didn’t see the truth of his words. He had been warning and yet I kept on falling deeper and deeper in love with Karsten.
Ignoring all the signs, ignoring how controlling he was. Ignoring what was right in my face, that he could so easily detach himself from a person and discard them.
Like they say, ’You won’t believe it until it happens to you.’
I should have never confessed my feelings to him.
What was I thinking? That he would collect in his arms and say, I love you back.
He was incapable of loving soone like that; that part of his heart was missing, and still, I had fallen for him.
What was wrong with ? Why did darkness attract ? Especially his?
One thing was clear, there were so many aspects of Karsten Chevalier I wasn’t aware of. So many hidden truths to him that I hadn’t even unlocked.
But now, I resolved to unlock all of them. To see who he really was while keeping myself detached from him.
I had fallen once, I was not going to fall again but he was going to regret making cry and saying all those vile things to .
After seeing this side of him today, I could imagine Karsten doing unspeakable things.
Still, a part of my heart refused to agree he could hurt a child.
He hurt , but I am a grown-ass woman, and it was my fault, too, for taking the relationship so deep with him.
Placing my chin on my knee, I straightened my face and began to form a plan. I knew whom I could reach out to gather information about Karsten, information he kept hidden.
I knew one of the keys was his family background, especially his father. I needed to know who he was.
Soon, I would know if he was responsible for ending my engagent and the real face behind who was stalking .
And under no circumstances I would tell Karsten what Andy had shown . That would be like a death sentence for Andy and I was not going to let him hurt soone innocent.
But, now I needed to act smart. The ti of wearing my heart on my sleeve was gone, Karsten had chosen the wrong girl to ss with.
