Chapter 155: The Conflict
Mia's POV
It was enlivening breaking things that were precious to him. The pain in his eyes proves he was really pissed off and I don't mind doing it over and over.
I was deriving pleasure from it even though he feels like retaliating or I was mistaken because he doesn't seem to care.
Lisa noticed the noise I made and turned to look at me. She gasped, feeling excited probably or not.
Her boot made the clomping sound to get to me. She had abandoned what she was doing for my sake.
Our eyes met and she suddenly smiled at me while stretching her hand for a hand shake.
"You're as beautiful as he says, hi!" she complimented but I gave her a frown.
My presumption is; he had ring a bell to her, that we are dating or married.
Lisa had never smiled at me nor act in a kind gesture. Her hand was still stretched for a handshake but I only walked pass her.
Snubbing her was fun. I took a glimpse at her and could see embarrassment flush her face.
She had began to pick up the pieces which I broke and that's when Durrel came in.
He heaved a sigh at me, strolling down the stairs.
"I thought I lost you" he said walking pass Lisa to get to me. Durrell still had the first aid kit as he beckons on Lisa to be careful.
His words made my stern heart beat for the first time in a long while. As though betwitched, he got my head spinning.
What just happened? Durrell wasn't mad at me for breaking an artifact! Something was wrong!
"She's clumsy though" Lisa commented with a giggle.
That was weird! Could she please poison his heart to bark at me? Like she always do.
That way, I wouldn't be getting emotional and focus on my aim.
"Sorry about that, but she's a cute one" he joked and my breath ceased.
He stretched his palm at me to place mine for treatment but I refutes.
Durrell grimanced at me and forcely took my injured palm, scruntized and snapped his teeth.
Suddenly, he carried me in his arms. Lisa wasn't there as she had gone to trash the pieces.
My body pinned on him and I was restlessly feeling his warmth. My head made up his affection.
My hands lazily plastered on his broad chest and staring at his lips, I wanted to kiss him.
"My pardon, I know you would refuse my offer to have a seat" he clarifies having a stern look like though he was under pressure.
Oh goodness, does he know he makes my heart fluster? Could he stop doing that?
The look, the unexpected touch, the care and if possible, the affection in his eyes. Was he about to die and just wanted to make peace with everyone?
That includes a stranger like me or he just wants to win my heart to help him out.
My body felt like gluing forever to his warmth not until he made me sit gently on a couch close to his glassy wall.
That part faced the garden and it gave a beautiful scenery. He sat beside me, applying ointment on it.
The pain that caused stinks and I winced.
"Your daughter's worried, and it would break her heart I didn't take care of you, so just comply" he stated and that statement alone increased the pain.
A scoff escaped my lips. Seriously? He must have informed tiara I was with him. Now I see why the child didn't bother calling.
She already trusts him.
To be sincere, he was bad at treatment and his cold character suits him. He doesn't even know the right aid needed.
Who on earth uses constipation drugs on injury? Fuck! He was wasting bandages because it wouldn't stick on my palm!
I still had to teach him that! He kept a guileless face at me as I kept cussing at what he does.
Why play a hero when you're bad at it? And what was keeping the cops from intervening?
"I'm just trying to help, it's not really my thing" he assert after discovering my cold gaze on him.
"Being nice doesn't suit you either!" I queried gnashing my teeth as he had poured all the antiseptic ointment on the injury.
It fucking stinks and I was willing to explode on him. I gnashed my teeth as my fingers turned into claws and I was swallowing hard, trying not to scream but faked a smile.
"Wow, you're welcome!" He snapped back and we both stood up glaring at each other.
No it hurts and he shouldn't act as though he cares because it freaks me out.
First, he abducted me and now he was acting all cool which was quite annoying because he needs to show me his bad side just I wouldn't fall in love again.
I was about to say a word when the door bell rang. Our eyes rolled towards it, distracting us from arguing. My heart knew Aiden was here.
I could feel him too and it made me tensed. Lisa who had returned instantly went for the door.
When she had done that, my assumption proved me right. Aiden had come for me with an army!
His presence gave us goosebumps and once again, the earth stopped on its axis.
They all had their guns aiming at duriel who was puzzled. All aiden had to do was give the order and my nightmare would be eliminated.
However, I had to stop just so I wouldn't get involved in this mess already. I needed to see amaris and being stuck here only worsens the situation.
It seems as though Aiden was reading my expression and walked me out from his house.
I gave the order that he should drop me at amaris house. Besides, I haven't been able to visit her since the incident that happened at Flynn's place.
He did exactly that while assuring me that he'd come over to pick me up. I kissed him goodbye and then faced her apartment.
It was time to tell her everything about me.
