"Who is Tinnie, Sera? "
Seraphina froze at her place after hearing his question and watching his predacious gaze on her.
She gulped hard but didn't open her mouth which made his patience to start leaving him. He leaned his face a little closer to her, breathing into her intoxicated air.
"I have already told you, I hate repeating myself, Seraphina. So tell me, who is Tinnie? " His voice turned more low yet dominating.
His grey gaze was so intimidating that Seraphina wasn't able to hold it, so she downcast her eyes and replied stuttering .
"I s.. sleep with him, "
And her answer was enough to make him lose his sanity. He clenched his jaw because he understood the total opposite of what she was trying to make him understand.
He placed his both hands on both sides of her and caged her fragile body in his robust arms. He clutched the duvet vigorously which she was holding . He glared at her lowered eyes.
"So you sleep with him? " He uttered through his tightened jaw.
Seraphina, completely unaware of the havoc she had emerged inside him, just slowly nodded her head.
"Yes. I sleep with him because I am habitual of hugging him while sleeping , so now I am not capable of sleeping without him , "
Arzal didn't know words were capable of burning him so ruthlessly until he heard her answer. Her each and every word by evoking that deadly beast inside him.
"So you're not capable of sleeping without him? " He groaned and she nodded again.
"Y.. Yes. He is very soft, cute and very beautiful, "
He chewed his inner cheek in rage. He was so tempted to snatch that duvet away from her and shoved her against that mattress and ruined her to the extent that she would even forget that Tinnie's name but he restrained himself .
"Do you love him? " In utter desperation, that question came out from his mouth
Seraphina finally travelled her eyes upward at his question and her body trembled by watching that aggressive deadliness in his silver eyes.
But she couldn't understand what was bothering him, so she just answered his question honestly.
"Yes. I love him very much, "
And as soon as she completed her words, Seraphina found herself getting forcefully pushed against the bed. Her head banged against the pillows.
Her soul left her body in fear, finding him hovering over her. His gaze was blazing. A vein had stretched out on his temple and neck due to his abrupt clenching of his jaw. His big palms were clutching her petite arms a little tightly.
Their gazes got fastened with each other .He was gazing at her like he was going to burn her soul with his wrath until her azure eyes filled with tears, which started falling from the corner of her eyes and made his burning gaze softened a bit.
"Don't h.. hurt me, p.. please, "
Her words made him more angry but took him back to his right senses too. He released her arms and with a sigh, got up from her.
Seraphina was too afraid to even move her body and just stared at him through her glossy eyes. He turned his back on her and spoke
"We are leaving for your home within 10 minutes. Go and freshen up if you want. The bathroom is present inside this room, "
Seraphina heard him telling her with his extremely hoarse voice and then left the room and closed the door behind him with a loud thud.
She wasn't able to understand what had gotten into him all of a sudden. One minute he was so caring and gentle towards her and the other he made her feel like he was going to eat her alive.
Now Seraphina was even terrified of going in front of him but she had to because she just wanted to go back to her home and forgot about what was happening from the last 24 hours but only if she knew.
Her blue eyes were staring at those dark clouds which were still engulfing all around the sky. Those raindrops which were falling on that glass window of his moving car.
She was sitting on his car's passenger seat as they were heading back to her home. They both didn't speak a single word , not even in his house, when he just gestured to her to follow him out of his door.
Seraphina understood one thing that now he was ignoring her because he hadn't even passed her a single glance. He was behaving like she was invisible to his eyes and that thing gave her a relief because his stare was too intimidating but yet his ignorance was bothering her and she herself didn't know why.
Seraphina was still in his black shirt because her uniform wasn't in a position that she could wear it, besides she was comfortable in his shirt because it was like a loose middie for her as it was covering her below her knees and wrists. She was decently covered in his shirt.
Seraphina was gazing at the raindrops on the window as the rain was still heavy but not like yesterday. A cloud bursted out loudly, scattering shiny lights all over the dark sky, making her flinch and gasp in fear.
She tossed her head but only to find him still staring straight at the road with his cold empty eyes as he was driving. His facial expression was rigid and dangerously void and she was too afraid of him to ask what was the matter, so with a soft sigh, she turned her head again towards the window and endured the rest of their journey ,bearing that unendurable silence.
After half an hour of driving, they finally reached her home. He parked his car beside the house which Nathan had sent its location to. Nathan was also coming back from his workplace but his workplace was more than an hour drive away from his home.
He got out of his car without even glancing at her for once and then walked beside her side's door. He opened the door a little loudly and saw her struggling with her seatbelt.
Seraphina was trying to unlatch the seat belt but it was too moody and rude just like its owner. Suddenly she felt the warmth of his rough palms engulfing her tiny soft hands.
She tossed her head and Seraphina felt like her heart skipped a beat by watching his face so close to her and she finally noticed he looked like that evil prince whom she had seen in a story book.
Seraphina was busy comparing his face with that evil prince when suddenly he snapped his eyes at her, halting her heartbeat but this time, Seraphina felt a pang in her heart when he turned his gaze away from her and then got out of the car.
She noticed he had opened the seat belt, so she also left his car and stood beside him. A relief washed over her by finally seeing her home but then she heard the loud thudding of his car's door shutting.
She turned her head and saw him taking out his phone and dialling a number after almost breaking his car's door.
"Yes, we have reached that address, Mr Miller, " He spoke and Seraphina understood, he was informing her brother .
"Okay, " He hung up the call and again looked at her but with no emotion in his cold eyes.
"Your brother has told you to enter your house through the back door as he said you know it's unlocking passcode and you don't have the keys of the front door, "
Seraphina looked down and slowly nodded. The rain was falling on both of them . Seraphina turned around to walk towards the back door but stopped when she noticed he wasn't following her anymore.
She turned around and saw him staring at her still blankly.
"Please come inside our home, " She said in a requesting tone but he stood rigid at his place.
"S.. Sir, "
"My responsibility was just to take you back to your home and as now we're finally here, " He stopped and took a step towards her direction.
His grey orbs bored deeper into her blue ones.
"Now our paths separate from here. Hope you never have to see me again, Miss Miller, "
An unknown stinging sensation emerged inside her heat at his choice of words and she herself didn't know why. Seraphina just wordlessly gazed into those firm silver eyes until her vision started blurry with tears.
First his silence and now his words hurted her. He was very cold and rude, she thought in her mind. Tears started falling from her eyes, mixing with the rain water on her cheeks but his gaze was sharp enough to differentiate her tears from those raindrops on her flushed cheeks.
Seraphina took her eyes down and clutched the hem of his shirt in order to stop herself from breaking down into tears in front of him. She turned around and was about to run away from there but her body got swung around with a force.
Seraphina felt him grabbing her arm and spinned her around and before she could react, he pulled her on his broad hardened chest.
Seraphina again saw his empty eyes fill with anger as he gawked down into her eyes.
"Now, why the fuck you are crying ? "
