Vindicate || Devilish Sequel

Capitŭlum Sĕptem

The feeling of a cold hand on my forehead made me slowly opened my eyes. They adjusted to my bedroom lights and I could only distinguished a blurry figure. 

I whined when I touched my head. I had a sharp pain on the back of it. What the hell happened?

"Raiza?" I heard my mum's voice. "Honey, how are you feeling?"

I blinked a few times trying to adjust my sight. "Mum? What happ-" Then I remembered. Those beautiful and unforgettable emerald eyes looking back at me; right into my soul. He had come back. My Harry had come back. "Where is he?" I said eager. "Where's Harry?"

"I'm here, angel." The goosebumps I hadn't felt in such a long time were now all over my skin. I turned my face and there he was, leaning against my doorframe unrealistically perfect and breathtaking as I remembered. Harry walked towards my bed and smiled. 

"Ok, I'm going to leave you guys alone because it seems you're fine and have a lot to talk about." My mum said not being able to hide the smile on her lips. "I'll be downstairs if you need anything." She closed the door after she left and a mixed of feelings came over me.

Once we were completely alone I tried to get up but Harry made me a sign for me to stay there and don't move. But I didn't listen, I had so many things to tell him and I needed to get them out now. 

Harry's POV

I just stared at her not being able to say a word; she looked so beautiful and fragile. Would she take me back? Suddenly she got up and walked over to me at a steady pace and within seconds her hand came in contact with my face; she had slapped me with all the strength she had. Fuck. Ok I deserved that, and even more. I looked at her and I knew if I didn't speak soon she was going to. "Raiza. Angel." I said, getting closer. "I'm so sorry. I know I'm a fucked up."

"No." She said, taking a step back from me. "No, Harry. You can't just disappear from my life like that and pop up back into whenever you feel like it."

"I've been around for a long time, angel. True love was always hard to come by, but it's getting more and more rare. This modern age is shallow. The chances of finding true love are the same as a snowball's chance in hell. But here I am, fighting for this new 'feeling' I have. Something I always swore I would never feel." All I wanted was to hug and kiss her, my whole body was demanding for her. But I knew she would reject me, and I didn't blame her, after all what I've done to her. 

"Do you know what I've been through since you left Harry?" Raiza said angry. "And what the hell were you thinking when you came here and almost gave me a heart attack? Or when you showed up at my work and then disappeared just like that!?" She grabbed my ring that it was hanging off a silver chain. "I knew it was yours. I honestly don't know what you're playing at Harry."

"The past months I've missed you so much it felt like missing you is all I am." I said.

"Miss me?" She said in a sceptical tone. "Give me a break. You don't know anything about that. But you know what it makes me angry the most? That I'm still so stupidly in love with you. I was hoping, praying you would come and now here you are." I could see tears threatening to come out but she was fighting them. I knew she didn't want to cry in front of me or cry at all; she had been crying since I left her, I knew that. 

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me." I said, daring to take a step closer to her. I desperately needed to feel her touch, to feel my angel. I've been in hell for way too long, I need a piece of heaven; her heaven.
