I stride confidently, glaring as I stand before him. He only quirks a brow, stupid smirk still plastered across his lips.
"Are you done?" His voice is low, commanding, as though he's reprimanding a toddler.
"Get out of my way, Ivan." Annoyance drips from every word.
I can't believe I allowed this man to embrace me, allowed him to think he had the right to hold me. I almost want to claw my hair out at the thought.
His smirk falters, eyes narrowing, hinting at a reciprocated annoyance. However, his feet remain in place, encouraging me to narrow my eyes further.
I'm about to push my way through the door when he lets out a dry chuckle, humorless and oddly terrifying. He steps aside, and watches me, waiting for me to walk through.
I start to walk past him, gaze focused forward, but freeze as I feel a hand wrap around my wrist. I tilt my head to the right, staring at Ivan, my eyes daggers that promise a painful death.
He leans close, our foreheads mere centimeters apart.
"I already told you I did what I thought was right."
He removes his hand from my wrist to wrap it under my chin, clashing our foreheads together - forcing me to lock my gaze onto his.
"I regret nothing. If you're going to keep acting like a child, be prepared to be treated like one."
And just like that he removes his hand, and walks out to the living room, as though touching me physically burned him. I gasp at the release of his harsh grip as I try to swallow the weight of his words.
