HELLZEL'S POV
Had I known this before, I would’ve kicked his ass. I would’ve punched him so fast that he wouldn’t have seen it coming until after he was sprawled on the ground.
I moved a step back while taking a sip of water, expecting it to cool the heat rising from my throat.
However, nothing seemed to be working.
”Zell. Are you okay?” Tania called my name for the second time and I snapped back to reality. My fist was already balled, ready to hit someone. Maybe I needed to go back to the club and show Laila’s boyfriend how a man's supposed to behave.
"Yeah. I'm just surprised how a guy can hit a girl. That motherfucker,” she made eye contact before she continued.
"After I told her sister about the slap, guess what?”She smiled, but something was odd about her expression. I couldn't wait for the reply, hoping that Lay had managed to chop off his dick. Come on, don't judge me. Such a man deserves even worse punishments.
"What?” I demanded in anticipation, impatient for the answer. Why was Tania stalling?
"Laila’s sister said that he does this sort of thing to her all the time. He's always beating her or insulting her"
As soon as those words came out of her mouth, I felt like I was in an oven. My blood boiled as the edges of my vision filled with red. I needed to release all the anger I felt inside.
I suddenly felt a throbbing sensation in my hand. Glancing at my fist, I realized that I had just punched the wall. Small cracks snaked from the dent where my fist had just been. Tania reaches over to examine my hand, but I quickly pulled my hand from her grip.
"Who the hell does he think he is? I can do all sorts of crap to a lady, but I'll never hit her, especially Laila. She's...”
I trailed off, breathing heavily as I paced in circles.
"And why the heck are you telling me all this shit? I don't give a fuck what happens to any bitch. I just want my-”
I heard my voice break and shut the hell up. I only wanted one thing. I only cared for one person.
"You wanna know why? Do you really want me to remind you?" Tania looked deep into my eyes. My gaze fall down to the floor as shame caused my cheeks to flush slightly.
“Because you left me to do the dirty work for you. Because it was you who told me to investigate her in the first place. To know who she is and all of her dirty little secrets about-”
I don't allow her to complete her sentence before I shush her. “Shut the fuck up, Tania!”
It came out much louder than I intended to.
"I didn't tell you to investigate any shit. I never even wanted anything to do with her! I-”
“Tania gave me one of her signature glares, silencing me immediately. I stood there awkwardly, my gaze falling down to look at her shoes.
"Oh, really? Then what the hell did you mean when you said ‘get close to her and get all the information about her that you can. Anything that I can use against-’”
I couldn’t take it anymore. I grasped at my hair, suddenly seeming to burn my scalp. Tania was seriously pissing me off right now. My knees were physically shaking with contained rage."Just leave my house already!”
Tania stopped abruptly, hurt evident in her eyes.
“Fine. If you don’t need me, then I best be on my way" Tania reached for the handle of my door, but was cut off by a high pitched scream coming from the guest room.
I glanced at Tania, whose face was a mixture of confusion and curiosity. She didn’t seem the least bit afraid, for some reason though.
We stared at each other, wondering what we were supposed to do next.
