Escape of Freedom [ female reader x Eiser Leinz Grayan ]

Ch17. Not Like Us

"How is Eiser doing these days?" 

"By the sound of your asking, I guess he doesn't speak to you anymore so I don't get why should you concern yourself about that. I am his wife so don't worry. I will take care of him myself" I hoped my annoyance come through her. I don't like to talk to her anymore. 

It might be because I am fuming in jealousy but I am his wife now. Even if, he is not in love with me. 

"Are you mad?" I chuckled, grinning "Why would I? I am just surprised why would an unknown woman want to care about my husband so much" I crossed my arms, poker-faced.  

Just then, someone approached us, and to my surprise, it was Victor. Seeing him, Dia linked her arm with him. Is she his girlfriend? What the hell.....

I looked at Victor, "are you here for business?" he hummed, "Yes I am. What about you? Here with Eiser?" I nodded, looking around for Eiser "I just want to grab a bite of these cupcakes so we get separated" Victor pulled away from Dia before coming closer to me and leaning into my ear "Isn't it boring here? Want to hang out outside?" I shake my head immediately, "It's okay. I am here with Eiser so I planned on staying with him" 

I feel bad about rejecting his offer but it was the best. 

"Hey Eiser" suddenly Victor said. I went rigid suddenly. I couldn't help but feel insecure. What would happen if Eiser met Dia? 

Did Eiser know about her relationship with Victor?

I gulped, turning around to see Eiser looking at Victor with a glare. I know that they never had a great relationship with each other but it was more tense than usual though. Is it because of Dia? Eduart once told me that it was hard for guys to forget their first love so I am sure she still had some effects on him. I clenched my fist, went to Eiser's side, and held his hand before confidently looking at Dia who was staring at Eiser. 

Eiser snapped out of his tense glare to Victor and was looking at our joined hands. I know he might be surprised at what I did but I want to show people that we have a great relationship with each other. I might be the only one who is in love but still. 

I love him. 

I don't want to hand him over like that. Eiser is a loyal person even if he doesn't have any feelings for the other person so I will take advantage of that. I ignored my insecurity and held his hand even tighter. 

"Y/n? I am kind of upset" Victor said, looking down at me with a small smirk "Don't you promise to stay with me?" he added more before looking at Eiser "I guess, you know that Eiser won't like it if we stay together" he step closer until he is directly facing Eiser. Victor held out his hand towards me "I have something to show you so what about we spend time just us?" 

Eiser slapped his hand away and pulled me to him "Touch a strand of her hair and I cut that hand of yours" 

I was stunned at his choice of words. It is so not like him. 

Victor rubbed his hand, chuckling "You are so scary. You might scare the butterfly away" he whispered to Eiser's ear, with a smirk on.

"Are you scared? I might take this butterfly of you away from you" Victor whispered, before stepping back a bit 

"Don't be surprised. Any sick-minded beasts like us would get attracted to the butterfly that flies aimlessly and beautifully" he glanced at Y/n before back at Glaring Eiser "So you better keep her stuck to your side because I am not going to give up" he smirked again.

"Just like I did with someone, I can take her away from you if I want" Victor looked straight at Y/n "I look forward to our next meeting. I will see you again, Y/n Serenity" Then, he walked away leaving everyone behind. 

Dia looked at how Eiser held Y/n's body tightly to himself. 

She was fuming in jealousy but she covered it up with a smile "Nice to meet yo-"

Eiser grabbed Y/n and pulled her away, cutting Dia's words off. Dia gritted her teeth, annoyed and jealous.

Eiser holds my wrist hard. But not strong enough to leave a bruise on me. 

He pulled me away from the crowd and soon we came into an enclosed place. There is no one there. It was so quiet so it made me hard to believe this kind of place existed because it was so loud earlier. I don't know this kind of place exists within this hall.

He pushed me against the wall, trapping me in his arms. His eyes glared down at me. He is angry at something but I am not sure what is it. 

His face is just an inch away from me. His eyes are burning holes into my eyes. 

"You shouldn't involve yourself with them"

"Why? Is there something I should know?" 

"......" he doesn't reply at all. This is his problem. He never spoke up or shared anything but just expected me to listen. 

I gritted my teeth "I really don't get you at all. What? You thought I was some kind of doll? You said a word and you expect me to just listen to everything you said?" I grabbed his shirt, pulling him to me "I am getting bored of this thing you've done. I want to understand you but I never had the opportunity to do so" I let his shirt go, pushing him away, and was about to walk away when he grabbed my wrist. 

Suddenly, I felt an arm wrapped around my waist and before I realized it, he was holding me close before leaning his head against my shoulder.

His body bends forward just enough so that his face is pressed on my shoulder. 

"J-just.......stay with me...please"

His voice is shaky. 

"Are you okay?"

He nodded, pulling me even closer "I want to tell you everything but it's hard for me too. Please give me time for it" I raised my hand before gently patting his back. "I will wait until you want to tell me everything" Is it more than I thought? Why is he behaving like this?

"I am here for you, I promise"

So we stay there, holding each other and me trying to comfort him. I don't know his story but I wish it would lessen it. I guess I push him too. I know I am being busybody but I am so curious. I will try not to force him anymore. 

I will wait for him.
