Our Twisted Destiny

Chapter 13

The first thing that came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling that she had never seen before. Her forehead and neck were full of cold sweat, as if she had a nightmare.

While taking a deep breath for a while and raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, she realised that someone was holding her hand.

"Hmm?"

As she lowered her eyes to look at her hand, feeling a light pressure, she saw a stranger lying beside her on a wide bed.

His hands were large enough to cover her hand, and his hands were full of wounds.

Delisha's pupils, who were looking at him, shook violently.

'Who is this? Who is he? He's sleeping next to me, holding my hand.'

As she looked up at his hand, she saw the man's face with his eyes closed like a statue.

Half of his face was covered by his arms over his eyes, and he was handsome even if she looked at him this way. The thick, red lips and sleek jawline alone showed that the man's appearance was quite outstanding.

Wait-

Isn't this man Ian Elijah? Someone who has saved her before. No?

Why would he be here, and how could she lie down on the same bed as he is? She should be waking up and seeing her room, but why in the hell did she see his face first?

And they even slept on the same bed! This is crazy! No! What about her hijab? Did she have her hijab on or not?

She immediately touched her head, and she could feel the hijab. She felt relieved but then she pulled her hands violently from his hands, and that rebellious move woke him.

"Oh, you're awake, Delisha." He spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Ian Elijah..." She called his full name with eyes full of anger.

But he didn't feel pressured at all. He smiled when he saw her looking at him like this, even though she was clearly mad at him.

Of course, he had been thinking about what she said to him before, but why does it matter?

She once said to him that she was genuinely confused about her own feelings; it could be that she also feels the same as him, right? And, if she starts to hate him now, he just has to seduce her and soften her heart.

She said she loved gentlemen, so he would become one like she wants so that she would accept him in her life. If she falls in love with another man, then he will just kill them.

"Yes, do you want to eat something?" He asked with a soft smile, as if nothing bad had happened.

Delisha tried to calm down when Ian asked as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"Where am I? Why are you here? And why are you laying your body next to me while holding my freaking hand?" She asked as she gritted her teeth. Trying to control her anger.

"Oh... You're in my mansion."

"And how the hell did I end up in your mansion?"

"I brought you here."

"And why did you do that?!"

"Because I want to have you."

"...What?"

Her eyes widened as she heard it. No, did he think she was a mere doll that could be owned just because she was pretty or attractive?

That's nonsense!

She's human, and she deserves to live a free life! Not being locked in a cage like this! Even animals shouldn't be locked up!

"You're crazy..."
