Eizlina was horrified by hearing his words. She looked at him, appalled. Her widened eyes filled tears of shock and terror.
Did he really kill Prisila? No, he wouldn't do that.
“Where is she?” she questioned him, holding herself back from bursting out into tears before him because just the thought of knowing he had done something wrong to Prisila had started shivering her soul.
No, he could not do that to Prisila. He would never. Eizlina attempted to calm her inner self down, which was on the edge of shattering with fright and pain.
“Where is she? Did y…you hurt her?” Her words stuttered, because it was terrifying for her to even ask him that thing. But his eyes didn't even find the necessity of looking at her.
Theron continued to take sips from his glass of wine and he made no efforts to answer or ease down her pain and fears. Rather, he just ignored her like she had become invisible to his eyes and ears.
Like he could not even feel her presence.
Her eyes watered more, not just only because he was ignoring her so awfully, which was hurting her so much, but also because he was not giving her any answer. Although, a part inside her was still making her believe that he would never kill Prisila because he knew how much hatred it was going to evoke between them, but still his silence was scaring her more and more.
He was impulsive. He could do that. What if he took her anger out on Prisila by taking her life?
No.
“I am asking you something. Did you hurt her?” Eizlina raised her voice at him but he gave her no reply. His face remained stone hard, while his eyes continued to ignore her like she had stopped existing for him.
Eizlina curled her fists, especially when she saw him making another glass for himself. He was about to take the glass closer towards his mouth, but she stormed towards him.
Unable to control her anger, she grabbed his glass and stopped him from drinking from it.
“Answer me first. Did you hurt Prisila?” She questioned him again. His eyes finally snapped in her direction, and Eizlina saw that predatory darkness burning in his slightly reddened eyes, which made her aware of his intoxication. In normal circumstances, it would have scared her but right now, she couldn't afford to care about her own fears.
Now, she was just worried about Prisila. She needed her safe, sound and alive.
“You didn't hurt her, right?” Her shimmering brown eyes pleaded with him to take her fears away which was only possible if he would tell her that Prisila was completely fine. That her hope was right. He had not harmed Prisila for going against him.
Instead of answering her, he gritted his teeth and then tried to snatch the glass of wine from her hold, but Eizlina held the glass more tightly.
