(MARRIED TO THE DEVIL SON)VOLUME 3

18

Heaven slowly sat up on her bed and looked around. This time he didn't bother to hide. He stood a feet away from her bed and stared at her with his smoking silver eyes. If he was angry he didn't show it, He looked rather relaxed and in good condition.

The sound of her heart beating loudly filled the room, and she swallowed the lump in her throat. A thousand images appeared inside her head. Her family slaughtered their bodies on the floor in a pool of blood. Her friends dead, the maids and guards dead, everyone dead.

The Stranger took a step forward. Heaven didn't flinch back.?If everyone were dead, then she might as well die. What was she supposed to do without her loved ones? Oh, how she wished this was just a nightmare, but she knew it wasn't.

"My...my parents..." she stuttered.

"I didn't kill them if that is what you are asking."

Relief washed over her. She still had a chance to convince him.

Heaven bolted out of bed and went down on her knees before him, something she had never done in her life before. She bowed her head.

"Please. My family were only trying to protect me. Please don't hurt them. Please." She shut her eyes and rubbed her hands together nervously.

The room went quiet. The stranger didn't utter a word.

Heaven peaked through one eye to see if he was still there, and he was. Standing exactly where he had been standing.

"Please. They are all I have." Heaven said realizing that she could lose everything because of a stupid decision she made. Her eyes welled with tears.

The stranger's hand went under her chin, lifting her face gently so that she was looking up at him.

"Stand up." He ordered and Heaven did as he said.

A tear fell down her cheek.

"You stabbed me." He said as a matter of tact.

"I am sorry. I was afraid you would kill my friend."

"You hurt me."

Heaven looked up and into his eyes. Was she imagining things, or could she see pain swirling in those silver eyes?

"How could I hurt you?" She asked.

Letting go of her chin, he reached behind his back and took out a dagger. First she thought that he was going to hurt her, but to her surprise he held the dagger out for her to take.

"Here." He said.

Heaven stared confused at the weapon in his hands. Why was he giving it to her?

Carefully she took it from him and gave him a questioning look.

"Stab me." He said.

"Why?!" Heaven was utterly confused.

"Just do it. You wanted to kill me, anyway."

Heaven looked at the dagger in her hand. He came back alive so a little knife would probably not hurt him. Yet, just in case, she only stabbed him on the arm. Blood seeped from the wound. Heaven stared, waiting for it to heal, but it didn't. His silver eyes met hers in realization. She could inflict pain on him, and he didn't like that. Yet another reason for him wanting to kill her.

"I don't want to kill." She hurried to say. "I just want my family to be safe."

"Just because you can hurt me doesn't mean you can kill me."

"Exactly. I mean I stabbed you with a sword yet you are here."

Oh no. She was making the situation worse.
