chapter ten, kiss me or hate me

|tw; mentions of sexual violence|













     TOM WAS TESTING HER AND SHE WANTED TO RIP HIS HEAD OFF HIS BODY. Not only he didn't admit that he was head over heels for her and stood to his ground that feelings are a sign of weakness. But also, there was a hustle in the manor and a very pleasant smile on her father's face.

     Igor Krakov was coming for a visit.

     What hurts the most was that Tom's kiss still lingered on her lips, making her swoon like a teenage girl with a silly crush. The attraction for him was unbearable, especially after that heated kiss in the inn, but she could not let her ego get beaten up with his idiotic snarls about Amortentia and foolish love.

      However, his plan to bring Igor here, to devour him like a beast and throw him to the side for her to finish him, worried her. There wasn't an ounce of happiness in her chest about seeing that old man again. Tom will let Igor hurt her if that meant for him to grasp more power. That's how Tom loved her.

     Evelyn wasn't afraid of possessive love. In fact, she wasn't afraid of Tom at all. Nevertheless, he was about to bring the man of her nightmares right to her and make her suffer and she won't stand for it. Tom was underestimating the power of Igor, the power of his mind - he has no idea what that old wizard is capable of.

     Antidote or not, Evelyn will not be thrown to the hounds just because Tom desired to.

     "Eta shto?" Evelyn slammed the door into his room forcefully, the door opening in a theatrical motion, to find Tom calmly reading a book while sitting on an armchair.

      "Manners, my darling, hm?" Tom simply gazed at her, not even bothering to close his book, pissing her off even more.

      Evelyn huffed out. She was the definition of elegance and manners— how dare he? "Tom, you are crazy, did you know that?"

     As soon as she moved closer, slamming the door close with the back off her heel and sitting on the armchair just an arm's length away from him, making him raise his eyes at her.

     The man only chuckled, "First you call me a psychopath and then crazy?"

      "You don't know what you are getting into. Igor is a fucking bitch, alright? He is not coming here to play nice. Especially not to listen to a guy twice younger than him," she scoffed, leaning back on the cushions as she crossed her legs.

      Tom closed the book in a quick motion, placing it beside him, "Are you worried about me?"

     Oh, great, he was playing her own game. Evelyn really didn't think Tom would benefit at all from her agreeing that she is in love with him. However, knowing that he wants the world to move around him, it would make sense for him to hear that she is in love with him. It would make him feel even more powerful.
