Ziyah : His Haunted Heart
"No jay.. you can't.."
His expression darkens at her words. He drops his hand from her cheek and takes a step back, the knife still clutched in his hand.
"He took something from me that I can never get back, angel. Something precious." His voice is filled with a quiet, seething rage.
He steps closer again, his eyes flashing with an intense obsession. "He took you away from me. He made sure our families were enemies. I can't forgive that."
"I didn't want to marry Liam my dad.." Her voice breaks.
His expression softens for a moment, his thumb unconsciously brushing over her lips. "Shh, I know. You never wanted Liam. You wanted me. Your dad forced this engagement on you just to keep us apart."
His grip on her throat tightens slightly as he leans down, his voice barely a whisper. "And now, you're engaged to Liam. The thought of you with him... it makes me fucking insane."
His eyes burn with a possessive intensity. "I can't let that happen, angel."
"I'm sorry..." She whispers, her voice low and quiet afraid. scared.
His expression cracks, revealing a deep vulnerability beneath the madness and obsession. "Don't apologize. You have nothing to be sorry for."
His thumb strokes her pulse point as he closes his eyes briefly. "I'm the one who should be sorry... for what I'm about to do."
