The King's Revenge

Chapter 7

Third Person P.O.V

Athena was sound asleep beside him, but he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to he couldn't, he thought about it in some ways it was a crime to sleep rather than just to stare at her. For him, she was the most beautiful girl in this entire universe and the love that he was feeling for her was almost unbelievable for anyone to believe.

He hasn't told her about his feelings yet, but it looked like she already knew because day by day, she gets even more comfortable around him. And if he is not mistaken, those beautiful eyes of hers shows the same feelings towards him which always makes his heart skip a beat.

" what have you done to me?" He whispered to her before kissing the top of her head and hugging her small frame closer to him

Athena P.O.V

I woke up because I felt something on my throat making it hard for me to breath, I look up to see Leonardo is looking down at me while smirking, his both hands were wrapped around my throat

" you thought I like you don't you?" He asked I fought hard to remove his hand, but I couldn't. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks like burning fire as I saw black circles dancing across my vision almost taking over

" then know this, I hate you and I never loved you. I just wanted to be with you so I can break you. Someone like you doesn't deserve happiness" let go of me feeling like my death is getting closer. the ache my heart was feeling now is worst than everything I ever felt.

" L-Leo - p-please " I whispered fighting harder against his grip

" bye-bye, love," he said and everything went dark

***
" Athena !! Athena!!" I felt someone shaking me, I opened my eyes while gasping for air.

Looking at the person who is shaking me, made my heart break all over again

" It is all good, it is all good, love. I am here, I am here," Leonardo said as he hugged me tightly it took me a few minutes to come out of my trauma. I cried there in his embrace a lot, I cried until I felt there are no tears left, meanwhile, Leonardo was whispering sweet words in my ears. When I calmed down he softly pushed me away enough so he can see my face

" It was just a bad dream ok?" He said but I just looked down

That wasn't any normal nightmare... it was so realistic

" Was it about me?" He asked I looked at him before nodding. I feel like I can't say anything

" Did I hurt you " i felt my lips start to tremble at the memory of the nightmare I just saw.

He stared at me before shaking his head

" you know I won't hurt you, like ever, right?" I do, I really do, and that is why I nodded once more

" let me tell you to make it clear, ok? I love you with all my heart and I would never do anything to hurt you, nothing, ok? I would rather die than to ever hurt you" he said and suddenly my bad dream was last thing important at that moment, my weak body didn't feel weak anymore or that I didn't feel it

He just- he just confessed his feeling ...?

" w-what..?" I asked feeling like I might have imagined it or I just want him to say it again
