더 보기Evan berjalan cepat menuju halaman belakang. Genggaman jemarinya pada pinggir keranjang sampah yang dibawa menguat. Gurat kemarahan tampak di wajahnya yang memang berkarakter tegas.
"Evan! Kamu mau apakan obat itu?"
Pada teriakan sang istri yang berusaha menghentikan langkah, Evan berpura tuli. Ia marah, jika Kia ingin tahu. Dan pada obat yang ada di dalam keranjang sampah, Evan berniat membakarnya.
"Evan!"
Evan membuang isi keranjang sampah ke atas tanah. Tak lama, Irna sang asisten rumah tangga yang diminta membawakan minyak datang.
"Evan!"
Laki-laki itu mengguyurkan minyak tanah tadi ke tumpukan sampah di depannya. Memantik api, lalu membiarkan semua terbakar, termasuk obat yang tadi berusaha Kiandra selamatkan.
Nyala api terlihat berkobar di mata lelaki itu saat menatap lurus pada sang istri. Membuang korek dan botol minyak, Evan menyeret Kiandra untuk masuk ke kamar lagi.
Evan menutup pintu kamar dari dalam, menguncinya, meski di luar sana Lidia berusaha mengetuk.
"Evan. Ada apa? Kenapa kamu seret Kia begitu?" Lidia memasang raut cemas. Berulang kali pintu di hadapan ia ketuk. Evan yang marah bukanlah sesuatu yang bisa ditangani dengan mudah, oleh siapa pun, terutama Kiandra.
"Pergi, Lid. Ini urusanku dengan Kia." Evan menjawab pertanyaan Lidia tanpa mengalihkan pandang dari Kiandra.
"Bicarakan baik-baik, Evan. Kamu mau apa sampai mengunci kamar begini?"
Laki-laki di dalam ruang tidur itu berjalan maju, cepat, penuh murka. Usai berhasil memojokkan Kiandra di antara dirinya dan dinding, Evan berucap, "Pergi, Lid. Ini urusanku dengan Kia."
Tak ada lagi ketukan di pintu, Evan meninju dinding di belakang Kiandra. Cepat dan keras. Membuat gadis di depannya tersentak dan gemetar.
"Itu obat apa, Ki?" Suara pria itu seperti tertahan. Namun, tetap mampu membuat yang mendengar merasa terancam.
Hening. Evan hanya bisa mendengar deru napas Kiandra yang memburu. Perempuan itu ketakutan, membuat emosinya semakin memuncak.
Kiandra takut? Pada apa? Pertanyaan tadi, atau pukulan Evan ke dinding? Lucu sekali. Sungguh perempuan itu takut? Lantas, kenapa begitu berani membohonginya?
Tadi itu sekitar pukul satu. Usai Evan dan Kiandra melakukan kegiatan suami-istri, Evan sebenarnya sudah hampir lelap. Namun, suara laci dibuka membuatnya kembali terbangun.
Pura-pura tidur, dari balik kelopak mata yang sedikit terbuka, Evan melihat Kiandra berusaha menelan sebuah pil. Obat kecil berwarna putih dan ada yang kuning. Obat yang Evan ketahui sebagai pil pencegah kehamilan.
"Obat apa itu, Ki?" Meski tahu itu obat apa, tetapi Evan tetap ingin mendengar sendiri dari si perempuan.
Kiandra mengangkat wajah. Berusaha membalas tatapan lurus dan mematikan dari suaminya. "Kalau kamu udah tahu itu obat apa, kenapa kamu masih tanya?"
Rahang Evan mengeras mendengar itu. Ia semakin mempersempit jarak. Satu tangan yang bebas ditaruh di bahu Kia, meremas kuat di sana. "Kenapa?"
Usaha Kia yang ingin melepaskan bahu dari cengkeraman Evan tak berhasil. Perempuan itu meringis karena rasa sakit yang terasa di sana. "Kenapa apanya? Obat sakit kepala diminum, supaya enggak sakit kepala. Aku minum pil kontrasepsi, menurut kamu untuk apa?"
Evan melepas bahu Kia. Pria itu tersenyum miring, tatapannya semakin dingin. "Kamu enggak mau punya anak?"
Pertanyaan diiringi gemerutuk suara gigi beradu itu membuat lutut Kia semakin gemetar. Tak lagi punya keberanian menatap dua iris gelap Evan, perempuan itu menunduk. "Iya," jawabnya berusaha terdengar yakin.
Evan benci orang yang suka berbohong. Namun, ia sangat tak tahan pada orang yang sudah ketahuan menipu, tetapi tidak merasa bersalah.
Emosi sudah mencapai puncak, Evan kembali melampiaskannya pada dinding di belakang Kia. Pria itu pukul dengan keras, tepat di bagian yang dekat dengan wajah sang istri.
"Kamu ... berani membohongiku?" Giginya bergemelatuk. "Kamu lupa aku nikahi untuk apa, Ki?"
[Tabitha’s POV]“Then we have tonight.”If you asked me if this was the outcome I was expecting after taking down Titus and ending one threat, I would say no. I wasn’t an overflowing fucking optimist, but to know that in the end, the ones who stood beside me through this time would disappear one by one was a punch to the gut.Atticus would be leaving to go to the unseelie court, Vance would need time to calm his clan and gain control, and Anthony was gone and would never be back.“I think the lady wants you,” JD chuckles, breaking the silence that had fallen around us. “Why are you just standing there?”“Shut up,” Atticus growls, reaching out and grabbing me.It doesn’t take long for us to arrive back at Atticus’ home, and the minute we step in the door, my clothes are being ripped off along with his. Once they’re out of the way, Atticus is dropping to his knees and burying his face in my folds.“Atticus,” I gasp, spreading my legs wider. “The door.”“Fuck the door,” he growls, contin
[Atticus’ POV]“His help doesn’t come easy.”The words leave my lips as I take Tabitha in, waiting to see if her resolve will quake. Maybe this was the reason that I fell for her, or maybe it was the undeniable draw that I felt. Whatever it was I knew, with or without my memories, I would choose her again and again because of the strength she radiated.“I don’t care,” she says, beginning to move. “And if you’re just going to stand here and argue, you can..."“No,” I sigh, hoisting Titus as he begins to slip. “Let’s go.”I begin to move, heading into JD’s domain, and then lead the way to his room, where he should be waiting. When we arrive, the door swings open, and a broad smile rests on his face.“Did you succeed?” He asks, eyeing the wrapped-up lump on my shoulder. “Or did you bring me another gift?"“No,” I chuckle, throwing Titus on the ground. “It’s what you want.”“But before that,” Tabitha adds, making her presence known. “There are some things that we would like to ask him.”“
[Tabitha’s POV]I wait until Atticus disappears out of the room and the sound of his steps grows distant before turning my gaze to Vance, who is watching me curiously. I was sure that he was curious why I was still standing here. I wanted to speak with him alone. And probably, what the hell was I even doing?“Promise me,” I begin, deciding there was no point in beating around the bush. “That you won’t disappear.”I knew I was asking a lot, and I wouldn’t blame him for denying my request. Technically, it was because of my existence that his brother and father are now gone. And that his clan was undergoing something so serious. But I didn’t want to lose the one solid thing I had beside me.“I know I'm asking a lot and that you don’t owe me, but..."“Shut up.”Leaning forward, Vance grabs my chin and then presses his lips against mine. Immediately, the world and all the fucking problems we are facing disappear, and all I can feel is him. Is it because of his mark on me? Because of everyt
[Tabitha’s POV]I stand up and take in the room in front of me. Atticus and Vance are both here, staring at me as if they’re looking at a ghost, and laying on the ground is Titus, and someone clearly beat the shit out of him.“Good job,” I say slowly, nodding toward the bastard on the ground. “I’m glad the two of you managed to take care of him.”It was probably ridiculous to say this after dying and then coming back, but the awkwardness was beginning to get to me.“How?” Vance rasps, moving forward.Reaching out, he attempts to touch me, but lets out a hiss when his fingers touch the sunlight and begin to burn.“Dammit,” he growls.“Here,” I say, climbing through the hole that was made in my cage while I was out of it. When I’m out of the sunlight and standing in front of Vance, I grab his wrist and bring his hand to my face so that he can feel it. “Better?”Growing quiet, I wait as he processes what is happening, and when understanding finally seems to dawn in him, he is reaching ou
[Tabitha’s POV]“....vaga…”“Eve…line…”The words drift in and out of the darkness that surrounds me while the smell of smoke reaches my nose, threatening to gag me. Soon, the sound of wood splintering and glass shattering reaches me, along with the feel of hands on my arm shaking me with so much force
[Tabitha’s POV]I run a finger along August’s chest while he lets his fingers tickle my exposed thigh.“You’re becoming a thorn in my side, woman.” He husks in my ear. “But since I’m in a good mood, I’ll humor you. What exactly is it you want from me?”Flinching, I try to remain calm as I realize that
[Tabitha’s POV]I adjust the mask that is sitting on my face while Vance hands an invitation card to the large orc that is standing in front of our destination. When he suggested that we hunt down August, I didn’t expect us to have a location within a day, but here we were standing in front of a larg
[Tabitha’s POV]I watch Atticus’ retreating form as he lets the pretty bartender that had been speaking with us earlier lead him into a back room. Despite knowing that it was none of my business what was going on between the two, I couldn’t ignore the sudden thrum of possessiveness I feel while the u
