The Tale Of Hearts

Chapter 76

Hazel's POV

He was holding me by the waist the whole time, so closer to his chest.
I was faking smiles at the faces around us, packed in his tight hold. He was holding me tight as if i would run away

It wasn't feeling like a charity ball anymore but my engagement with the Devil. Everyone seems happy, expect me. Even he was smiling so wide talking with guest coming to congratulate us. May be he must be so happy that he has trapped me Infront of everyone where I don't see any getaway anymore. he must be really happy to see me defeated like this.

I lowered my gaze biting onto my quevering lips not wanting anyone to witness the missriey in my eyes.

"Didn't i tell you that you will be soon mine!!! get ready and count your days soon to be Mrs. Rechardson. Nosooner you will be under me, trembling"

His words started to echo inside my head as my gaze aimlessly fell to the ring on my finger, signed for his name. The whole world around me was blurred in my vision, my focus solely on the shiny diamond sparkling as if to mock me.

Never once i thought my life would be a mess like this. Never once i thought my marriage would be like this. I dreamed to have a sweet caring prince charming but now that whole plot has twisted, singing my fate to this Devil.

Will i be happy after marrying him???
This question was daringly running in my head making my chest heaving in pain. My eyes were stinging with the pool of tears i was holding.

I wanted to experience love and get married to the love of my life but i don't know any of this anymore.

What is this between us? Why he doing this? Why he making a hell of fuss trying to claim me as his, when i clearly know he doesn't love me, care for me? This pang of questions were making my chest tightned and I don't have answers for any of this because never once he confess his true feelings towards me. Never once he open up to me.

May be he really feel nothing towards me. Maybe I'm his temperory obsession where he trying to claim and waiting to get over soon because he is too egoistic for his own good. That's why he never show me any affectionate, he only want to control me the way he want. that's why he never reveal what he feel towards me but only claim me as his. That's why he rude to me all the time, hurting my feelings with the every chance he get.

Big two tear drops rolled down from the corner of my eyes making me gasped for air, shifting in his hold.

"Are you feeling tired?" His deep voice came in my ear as he nuzzled his lips on my lobe while his fingers were running on my bare back making me jolted with the contact. Then only i looked around to saw no one around us anymore. May be they have done with the congratulations.

I felt his pair of predatory eyes were looking down on me, waiting for a response but I didn't raised my eyes to meet his gaze, because even not looking at, his intense gaze was already making me overwhelmed. His touch was making my skin burn and his coloung was all over me making my breath intoxicated, suffocating me along with my distressed thoughts.

I need to get away from him to properly breath!!!

I though prying his hands off of my waist, and was about to walk away but he dragged me again to his chest in a quick manner.

"Where you going??" He asked in a firm angry voice.  "Away from you" I responded right away in my weak voice gasping for more breath.
Suddenly i felt suffocated and wanted to get away from him as much as possible to take a fresh breath. Otherwise I would go mad at this rate.

He took my chin in-between his thumbs when i wasn't looking at him.
Still refusing to meet his eyes ,my fist started to pushing at his chest, making him irritated with my resistance. His grasp became firmer on my chin and it made me look at him unwilling, defeated. the moment my eyes met with those coal orbs, i knew he wasn't happy with what i said earlier.
