Chapter 21

Gingerly, I lifted my right hand to his cheek. At the touch, he looked straight into my anxious gaze. The look continued, hard and long...

“Sephy.” His lips finally said and I burst into peals of crying-of-joy laughter. However, I laughed too early. Lisbon’s eyes flashed crimson red again. He dropped my hand and grabbed my neck instead. I was taken aback, paralysed with fear and disappointment. It seemed that our encounter was not etched in his mind as clearly as it did in mine. My laughter stoned in mid-air and all that could be heard was the husky voice of Lisbon.

“I want more than just your blood, Sephy...”

I choked and blurted out,” WH..AT?!” Instinctively, my hands covered my chest, and I stared back at him with horror.

“Sephy, you are so fun to make fun of. You think dirty. Tsk.Tsk. I do not want your ahem, body. I only want your...—LIFE.” He leaned closer to my ear, emphasising hard on the last word.

I froze and winced in pain when he gripped my neck harder, his nails biting deep into my skin. I felt my limps slowly go weak, and my head slightly dizzy. The circulation of my blood seemed abnormal and I had BIG trouble trying to breathe. I saw spots in my eyes and before I knew it, everything was pitch-black.

I woke up in familiar surroundings. When I tried to sit up from my position, my hands seemed to turn wobbly and I stumbled back. I groaned. Jeez, isn’t this the place Lisbon kidnapped me to? OMQ, am I still in one piece?!!!! Just then, the wooden door slammed open. I jumped out of my skin. Almost. For the moment, I stared at the black figure in the way of the sun rays.

“Why the hell am I still alive? Kill me. Pls, dun torture me.” I pleaded, feeling weak all over. My neck was burning in pain from the cuts he gave me as well.

As always, he ignored me and asked a question totally out of point from mine. “Do I know you before?”

I stopped my whining and turned my attention to him. I reminded myself not to have any false hopes and composed myself, before calming answering,” Of course.”

“But you are an angel. I am a devil. We live in 2 different worlds.” He argued.

I shrugged my shoulders,” Do not ask me. YOU are the one that rammed into my life and caused havoc in my peaceful and wonderful life.”

He thought a long while about my answer and nodded his head slowly, “No wonder...”

Idiot, I thought silently. Where is Sapphire??? Aaron must be sick without me writing the Destiny Book for his daily life...Arggg. How am I going to escape when I feel so damnit weak?!What the hell happened to me??

Chapter 22

The two of us cooped ourselves in that stale house. I bit my nails thinking ways of escaping while Lisbon kept shooting me confused glances and I returned it with a glare. I wondered why he had not sucked me alive after such a long time. Possibilities swam through my mind but I ignored all of them. I had to accept the horrible fact that we CANNOT be together. Even if he remembers me, I will only bring him harm. His deadly and annoying bastard father will never ever let his precious son betray him.

For the last time, I looked at him, taking in his muscular frame, hot bod, sharp features...Whatever it is; he was the most heart-stoppingly beautiful man I had ever seen. I will never find another person that can ever replace his standing in my heart. I love him now and in the future, I will too.

As my thoughts wandered, tears welled up in my eyes. I sniffed silently and rubbed away the tears when Lisbon was not looking.

“Lisbon, are you going to kill me or let me go?” I asked him after my voice regained to normal.

After a long silence, he finally spoke,”I dunno...”

I had to force myself not to roll my eyes at the indecisive answer. “Fine. Let me go. I want to leave your world. Once and for all.”

“NO!” he growled immediately, I jumped in fright. His voice softened a little when he saw the expression on my pale face. “I mean..you are someone from my past. I have no clue about it and only you can help me. I know I am like a zombie with no feelings or whatsoever now. But,I am forcing it to come back. I want it to. Sorry for wadever I have done. Pls forgive me and help me regain my memory.”

I blinked several times before lying straight into his face,” I lied to you. You do not know me at all. I have nothing to do with you until the day you start hunting me.”

“Really?”he asked. I nodded.

“Sephy...have you found her?” Aaron asked, feeling a wash of nausea washed over him for the hundredth time. Callum shook his head despondently. Aaron sighed, gulping down the bitter antibiotics. His gorgeous face wrinkled as the liquid slid down his throat.

“Ever since she knocked us out, we have not seen her. Anyway, do you...do you notice anything unusual about Sephy?” Callum asked tentatively, hoping his friend will not lose his temper at the question.

Aaron frowned at his words and said almost angrily,” What the hell are you thinking?!! Sephy is nowhere to be found and yet you are here spouting nonsense!!!”

Callum quickly sent his apologies but the question he asked had hung in Aaron’s mind for an equally long time...
