Chapter-102

Author's POV

She looked at his face. It was bruised, battered. Several cuts wreathed his cheeks and jaw. His lips were torn from both sides.

Her eyes lowered to his chest. A painful lump rose in her throat looking at the rose tattoo which was proudly sitting on the left side of his chest. There were so many cuts on his entire body.

He was bleeding, profusely.

A broken shudder escaped her lips as she noticed the blood oozing out of his abdomen, It was a fresh cut.

She looked at him, their eyes met again.

This time, Chase smiled looking at her.

Suppose a smile had the power to kill her. She would have been dead.

She never thought that a smile could cause so much pain to her. It did.

He smiled weakly.

She always considered him strong, cruel and ruthless. Now who was she kidding? He was ruthless, he was indeed strong.

No matter how strong a person is, they'll have one or the other weakness. And his happens to be her.

The world seemed to stop all over again for him. All the pain, longing and hurt faded away as their eyes connected.

To see tears in her eyes for him, was something beyond his Expectations.

He knew she didn't love him.
He knew she only considered him a friend. He knew it very well. He hurt her pretty badly. He thought she might despise him, or worse, laugh at his pathetic condition. But this, this was out of the world.

How can she be so kind and shed tears for the person who did nothing but hurt her in the name of love?

He felt ashamed to call himself a man now.

Oh, how bad did he hurt her?

He called her a slut, whore and a bitch. He doubted her. He hurt her in unimaginable ways and still, here she is, crying for this man.

She was in a trance. Her breathing was very slow. It looked like she almost stopped breathing.

Donovan didn't even like it a bit.
It was sucking the life out of him. Painfully. He clenched his jaws, signalling Felix to hurt him even more.

Felix nodded and punched him square in the jaw. Chase muffled a whimper and this brought her out of the struck trance.

Shaking her head, she looked towards her right. There he was, watching her already. His jaws clenched tightly, his knuckles turned bone white because of the iron-like grip. His eyes shot daggers at her. Those green eyes convey the hurt he is feeling. It was filled with fire...the burn she caused to his heart by tearing up for someone, who is his archenemy.

Rose looked at him with tear-filled eyes, hurt evident in her eyes. Her lips quivered as she tried to speak but nothing came out of her mouth.

Chase was no fool. The way she looked at Donovan and the way she was looking at him was noticeable. The difference was, that she had pity in her eyes while looking at him. With Donovan, it was different. She was looking at him with broken eyes as if her trust was crushed right under his feet.

It pained him a lot.

Rose was still looking at him hoping to plead through her eyes. But what he said next broke her completely.

" Break his legs..." Donovan commanded without breaking his gaze from her.

Her eyes widened, and breathing seemed difficult. She shook her head and looked towards Felix who was looking through the numerous weapons. Her heart skipped a beat when he picked up a mini sledgehammer.
