Glowering into her glossy eyes, which filled relaxation after receiving his answer, he took his eyes down towards her bleeding palm. But there her hand was still stopping him from treating her wound, so he again took his eyes upward, and this time, Eizlina let go of his hand.
Lowering his head again, he started cleaning her wound slowly and slowly, and she just continued to stare at him. She was utterly grateful and relaxed after knowing he had not hurt Prisila.
A part inside her had already been aware of this that no matter how he behaved with her, he was not going to harm Prisila for standing by her side.
He might hate her but he had still never hurt those people, who loved her. Yes, he had threatened her with their lives in order to make her obey him, but he had never hurt any person she loved. And its living proof was last night when her parents were right in front of him, but he didn't hurt them even after the way she tried to escape from him.
He let her parents go. And most importantly, if he was so bad then why did her parents leave her to him? What did they know about him which she didn't know yet?
In complete silence, Eizlina just gazed at his face, where she saw that mark on his forehead and that mark on his neck, and she knew she was the reason behind them.
He might have died last night after the way she made him lose his control over his car. She knew the injury he received in that accident last night was extremely painful, but yet…..he didn't go to those extreme lengths to make her pay for it.
Yes, he attempted to hurt her but in the end, he accepted what she had asked him to give her.
Had she started seeing good in him or her mind had been twisted so much that she had started finding good in his worst?
Eizlina was so lost in her thoughts about him that she didn't even notice when he completely treated her wound. It was until he snapped his head upward and sent her that displeased glare.
She looked down and found her palm wrapped in a bandage. He had treated her wound perfectly. She didn't even notice the burning or pain. Or perhaps, she might have been too lost in him to feel her own pain.
Sending her a glare, he stood up on his feet and then turned his back on her.
“Get out of my room,” he said to her, using his warning tone. She looked at his bare and broad back. Sighing, she got up from the sofa.
“I…..”
“Right f*cking now….” His roaring voice angered her. She took her steps closer to him and stood beside him.
“No, I will not leave until and unless you will listen to me,” she uttered to him. He balled his fists at her words, and then snapped his furious gaze in her direction.
“And who the f*ck you are that I will listen to you?” He spat at her.
She would not lie. His words hurt her a lot, more than they should. He was practically calling her his no one, but wasn't that she had always wanted to be his?
His no one?
“Yes, I know I am your no one that you will listen to me,” she retorted back, filling him with more anger.
“But Prisila is someone who has been working for you for years. And not just only her, her mother has also served you and your family for years, so how could you let her and her mother suffer, especially when her mother is ill?” She questioned him, holding back her patience with this man before her, who knew nothing except for getting angry at everyone and everything.
“They need your….”
“If their need would have been so important to her then she wouldn't have dared to go against me by helping you in escaping from here,” he shut her up in the middle.
His gaze peered at her with a murderous intensity.
“If she would have cared for her mother's illness then she would not have dared to betray me,” he snarled at her. Eizlina became stunned at his thoughts, but somehow she already had this idea that these words might be his but it was his mother who had shoved them in his head.
“But she did it to help me because she has eyes to see the suffering I have been facing here, so she just helped me in escaping from it because not all of us are blind to other's pain,” she uttered to him, a bit angrily but extremely hurt, and he knew her words were strictly headed at him.
