Allure of Darkness!

25. Blurred Illusions!

Mikhail's POV

I know that she has found out that I killed Laurence.  Her shaking hands, restlessness in her body and fear in her eyes is telling me everything. She is not looking into my eyes. Cute little thing!

She must have recognised the whistle. She knows what it means, interesting! There are hardly any people who know this tune which has a hidden meaning.

Well, it's good that she found out about the murder thing. The sooner she finds out, the better for her. This thing shouldn't be hidden from her anyway, I kept it hidden till now because of the wedding.
If she would have known before then she wouldn't have agreed to marriage and then I would have been forced to drag her to the aisle which I didn't want to do.

But it will be interesting to see what she does now. Will she confront me, will she question me about it or won't say anything at all.
She is still recovering from the news.

I took my place on the bed and waited for her to come back, I know she is going to take time so I fixed her pillows. She had one favourite pillow which I threw out of the house because now she has me. No need of fucking pillow.

"You are so evil"
I heard that familiar voice. Not again, not now! I tried to calm my mind and fixed the pillows.
"You killed her husband and didn't even tell her."

"I am her husband"
I snapped at her.

She is sitting in front of me on the bed. A teenage girl who's wearing a blue sweater and white pants. She doesn't have a face, I have never seen her face. I see her completely except her face which is blurry.
I heard her giggle.
"Yes, yes... You are now but don't you think that you did wrong to her... She was already scared of you, then you manipulated her into marriage and now she learnt that you killed her husband too... Oops, sorry! Ex husband"

"How is that any of your business?... You are just an illusion. My illness!... You are not reality and don't deserve an answer."
I know she is not real then why her words are affecting me.
I am not supposed to talk to her, I shouldn't even look at her because she is not real. It's just my mind which is playing with me.

"How can it not be my business?"
She sounded upset.
"We are friends, remember? You promised to come back but didn't. You forgot me. What about me? Have you ever tried to find out how I am now?... You forgot me but I didn't. See! That's why I am here."

"Go away, Mallika... You are not the reality."
I groaned annoyed.

"Not now, but I was there once... And I know you will come back to me."
She leaned closer to my face and I just stared at that blurry face. She is still a mystery which I didn't bother to solve.

I don't even know when I started getting these hallucinations and don't understand why I am getting these. It's not like I was invested in her. She was a normal girl then why she is bothering me so much.

Mallika disappeared when Marona came out of the closet. She didn't say anything but her eyes are puffy like she was crying.
It irks me whenever I see her caring about that bastard. He was not worth it but I never tell her about his true face because she won't believe me. She doesn't trust me.

She took her place on the bed and pulled up the bedsheets. I turned towards her to pull her closer in my arms because now it feels difficult to sleep without her.

"Can we not do it today, please... I am not feeling well."
She flinched back thinking I am trying to fuck her.

"I am not doing that."
I pulled her closer and she stiffened.

It shows that she is not going to confront me. Let's see when she does. But it's clear that she is thinking something, I know she is not that simple to keep quiet.
