The H | Hyerabots series

I loved you in life, I'll love you in death.

HYERA

My lungs tighten and the air grows thinner as I face the man I once loved turn into my worst nightmare.

"Ezekiel..." I utter, my voice audibly broken
"Nice to see you again, my love" he smirked.

'How did we get to this point?'

The soft caress of his fingers against my lips from last night still lingered, and It made me wonder
'where did it start to go wrong...?'

I reluctantly point my gun at him and how he pointed his without hesitation tore me to shock.

"Look at where our love got us." He said, looking at me with those unfamiliar cold eyes. This isn't the man I chose, this isn't the man who embraced me... "Who are you?" My breath hitches as I struggle to let those words out.

My lips curl as I start to feel my eyes sting. My heart palpitating like I'm on the verge of death. My hands starts to shake and realization slowly pushed away my denial.
His eyes were cold as he smiled at me. He enjoyed every second of it, to see me in pain, to see tears rolling from my face. I felt like I was losing my heart and soul because of him.

"I am stronger than you will ever know." Ezekiel answered for I asked him why, still looking at me like I was nothing but an obstacle while his gun pointed towards me. He smirked again, it was clear he was enjoying this scene. He enjoyed seeing me hurt and it hurts to see that look from the person who used to love me.

"Are you really doing this?" I feel my arms weaken but my instinct refuses to lower the weapon.

"No- did you even love me...?" I ask, my eyes glimmering with the last bit of hope I was clinging to.

He stares at me for a couple of seconds, smiling coldly before speaking. "Why should I love someone who is weak?".

I couldn't bear to hear his answer. It hurts and makes me angry at the same time, I wanted to shoot him dead right there, but I just couldn't.

The words rang in my head and I couldn't stop it. I can't believe it's Ezekiel who would say that to someone who loved him in the first place.

Upon hearing his words, that same glimmer disappeared, leaving my eyes dead, like it had lost everything and gave up. From that moment on, I knew everything that had happened between us was fake, his kisses, hugs, assurance... It was all hallucinations he put to pave a way for this very moment.

"I see..." the words barely broke out, the pain my voice carried was not even half of what I was feeling, I felt
betrayed. How could he do this?

"Why...why me...?" I ask him.

He looked at me for a couple of seconds with his cold eyes before answering.

"Because you were an easy target." He smirked as if he just said the truth that nobody wanted to hear.

"A...what?" I look at him in disbelief. He can't be the same person I loved at one point in my life. I had been played and it caused me everything.

My pain then got replaced by anger and resentment. I grip the gun in my hand tightly like I was about to shoot him but my hand shook and said otherwise.

"How could you...?" I cry out, every pain could be felt, it was like I was slowly self-destructing.

He smirks again, locking his gaze with mine. "Now,tell me why you shouldn't die today."

I gave up.

I can't handle this, even if this is all over, what more do I have left?
My very reason to live is now pushing me to the brink of death.
