"what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm killing you so that you will not hurt anyone else"

"Are you out of your mind"

"No, my mind is exactly where it should be, you pig"

"I'm a pig?"

"Yes, you are. You're a pig, an asshole" He has the audacity to fucking laugh at that.

"Babe what the hell are you doing?"

"Don't laugh, you idiot"

"Ok, whatever you say" He stops laughing or at least tries to and my senses come back to me when I realise that I'm siting on his lap while he's holding both my arms behind my back. I can feel his breath on my lips as he continues to stare in my eyes and then at my lips.

I don't know who moved first, but we were kissing like our life depended on it. Soon, I find myself being trapped between the wall and Alden, his lips brutally assaulting and eliciting a moan out of me but he stops too fast and we are both left panting.

"I can get used to that mouth" He smirked looking at my lips.

"Don't flatter yourself, Richards" I move away from him in case I jumped again and lost my mind.

"Oh it's Richards now. Is it?" I don't reply but give him a look.

"you weren't moaning that a second before" I just want to smash his smirk but I keep mum and he sobers.

"We need to talk and I know angel that you might want to kill me right now but understand that I had a family emergency"

"Can we go for a walk?" Even though he's asking, his voice seems a little unpredictable like he doesn't know what will I say.

I don't say anything but just walk out, bid Brittany Bye and exit the Cafe with my bag in my hands and Alden right behind me.

"Talk, what do you want to say?" he frowns at me and open the door to his car.

"Not here" He sighs when he see me not moving.

"Look Angel, I'll tell you where I was and why I didn't contact you but not here. You've got to trust me." So, I do and enter the car while he closes my door and within seconds, we're on the road.

Alden's walk meant him driving his car to the little cottage nearby a lake on the outskirts of town. He stops the car and we stay there, without speaking anything like someone has put a pause on us.

Finally, he gets out and move towards my door but I'm already out. Fuck Chivalrous.

Alden looks frustrated at that but makes a wise decision to keep his mouth shut and extends his hand for me but my momentary hesitation is enough for him to understand that he needs to start talking instead of 

He turns and start walking towards the lake with me in tow. As soon as we reach an edge, he stops and stands there watching the lake, a small smile playing on his lips.

"My parents met here" His voice is soft and if I wasn't so confused with my own jumbled faded memories playing out in the background of my mind, I could've sworn he sounded proud.

"one look at each other and they knew they were soulmates" this time he looked at me with so much warmth that it made my breath hitch. He smiled and looked back at the lake.

"My mom wasn't rich; in fact, she could hardly make it a day with food on the table with both her parents dead and her guardian, an addict. But my dad was...my dad was filthy rich. My mom was scouting the surrounding in search of food when she met my dad. She was Sixteen and my dad was in his mid-twenty but one look at her and he knew that he would do anything in his power to protect her and love her" I didn't know how it was connected to him going AWOL for last few weeks but I keep my mouth shut because it was Alden and he was telling me something that involved his parents and him looking so lost into memories.

"Soon, both of them fell in love but they decided to keep it a low key until my mother came of an age but the fate had other plans. One day when my mom came here to meet my dad, that asshole cracker followed and saw her kissing my Dad. He recognized my Dad and saw an opportunity for golden supply. That day when my mom reached the house, he beat her black and blue and asked her about my Dad and her relationship with him. When she refused to say anything, he threatened her but my mom was built with steel in her spine and she refused to talk. All she wanted was peace and her love so she protected my Dad the only way she knew and that was by not speaking about it, she thought that like every time it'll be just a few beatings and then he'll go to his room and my mum to the couch but she didn't know that the swine had already seen her and was ready to do anything to get his crack. That night that motherfucker crack pig raped my maa" My breath hitched and my hands flew to my mouth. My eyes filled with tears but what stopped me was the look on Alden's face. This arrogant boy who always seemed in control was sitting in front of me with tears in his eyes and an uncontrollable rage on his face.

It has been a while since I posted, reason being I couldn't decide if I should finish the book first and then publish or publish it as I write. I guess the second option won. Here's a chapter for you, let me know about your views. If you find any error then please mention as I shall try harder the next time. And most importantly Stay Safe.

Adios ❤️)
