A Demon's Love (The Demon King, #2) ON HOLD

Chapter 11 - Tore My Heart

I couldn't sleep all night, scared that he didn't love me anymore. I couldn't lose him, I'd done so much for him and if he was cheating on me with someone else, I knew I'd be absolutely crushed. I was angry and upset at the same time and I just wanted to cry and cry. But I knew I couldn't jump to conclusions without confronting him.

But what else could he be doing with her? I haven't seen him for so long and he missed my graduation when he promised he'd be there. But instead of being with me, he was with another girl doing who knows what. And the way she spoke, so seductively, so flirtatious and the way Dimitri got angry for being interrupted when he was with her.

Oh goodness, it hurt so much to think of that possibility. He didn't even call me back. Didn't he see I called him last night? But why would he call when he didn't care about me, when he was too busy with some other girl?

I kept the phone with me the whole day, waiting for his call but nothing came and every hour that passed, I felt more and more crushed. Eventually the whole day went by and I still received nothing from him. I felt so broken that I couldn't stop the tears anymore.

I climbed into the shower as soon as I heard my parents come up, not wanting to deal with them. Fortunately, they were leaving for a small business trip soon and they were dropping my siblings off to my grandparents house, leaving the house all to me. I kind of wished my siblings weren't leaving so I could have someone keep me company and distract me from my broken heart, but I was just going to be left alone.

"We're leaving Sweetie!" My Mom called from outside the bathroom door.

"Okay Mom, I love you!" I called back and she responded with a 'love you too, be safe'. Once they left, I turned off the shower and stepped out, wrapping a towel around myself, tightening it around me. I stood in front of the mirror and noticed how puffy and red my eyes were from crying.

I just couldn't stop the tears and I knew if Dimitri confirmed cheating on me, I'd be a bigger mess than I was right now. I didn't even know for sure if he was cheating on me.

I usually blow-dried my hair but I wasn't in the mood for anything, so I just left the bathroom. As soon as I got out, I noticed a shadow in front of my window. Someone was standing out on my balcony and my phone was ringing. I checked my phone and it was Dimitri. He had left a text as well, saying:

I'm outside in your balcony. Open the door for me babe ❤️

Seeing his text made thick tears spring to my eyes and just as soon as they came, they slipped down my face. He didn't say anything about my graduation and there was no explanation as to why he couldn't show up, or anything about the missed calls I left him.

I slowly went to my window and pulled the curtains back, seeing Dimitri standing their with his signature sexy smile. I noticed his eyes roam my body as he noticed I was standing in only a flimsy little towel and I noted the color of his eyes darken in lust.

Seeing him brought such immense pain as more tears slid down my face. Once he was done staring at my body, he brought his eyes up to meet mine probably wondering why I didn't open the door yet. That's when I noticed his eyes train onto the tears on my face, the puffiness and redness of my eyes and he frowned before a worried look came upon his face. This time he ran his eyes over my body in an almost frantic way checking for any injuries and when he looked up at me again, I noticed a possessive and protective look in his eyes.

"Open the door right now Isabella!" He demanded but I couldn't. I didn't want him to come near me because I knew he'd pull me into his arms and I'd give into him immediately, all rational thoughts flying out the window. But I knew I couldn't talk to him like this, so I reached the door and unlocked it.
