Chapter 006

~Jessica~

The question hung right there in my head as I didn’t know who to direct my question at.

“Who the heck changed my dress? Who carried me up here?!”

My skin itched with disgust clearly written on my face as I ignored the question, hating to picture Tristan touching me and seeing me without clothes.

It’s already torturing enough that I have to live now with the image of his lips forcefully on mine.

I finally found my way out of there as the freaking monster took me upstairs right beside his room. I walked straight to the maids room, hoping I’ll meet no one so I could quickly get changed into something and anything from this nightwear he put me in. Slimy monster !

“He’s a monster, i hate him, he’ll regret what he did..” I kept on muttering, biting down on those words, keeping my eyes from becoming teary as I hurried up and found my way to the kitchen.

If he wants breakfast then I’ll get breakfast.. mtchew.

The need to get on with my revenge was back with great need as holding a knife through his heart could be the only solution and closure I need after what he has done.

I get my hands very busy, ignoring the picture stained in my memory as I busied myself with pain twisting hard on my insides.

“He’ll pay for every single thing he did.” I spitted out loud, letting out a hiss alongside.

I did the best I could, trying to mask the scent of apple flavor on everything I used.

Right from the pancakes, to the egg and even the milk, I made sure to sprinkle a bit of apple flavor in everything.

He said he wasn’t allergic but if it will even make him a lot uncomfortable, I’ll gladly take that.

..

I knocked slightly on the door, anger filling my chest as I didn’t want to have to see his face or even be on this floor right now.

“Come in.” He didn’t ask who it was, his voice way too relaxed as I walked in. I hated that.

I walked straight up to him with the tray in my hand, pretending like I didn’t see him with someone and I could really care less if they were even having a serious conversation before I came in.

“Tell me you didn’t change my clothes yourself and carried me all the way up here?” I blurted out after dropping the tray of food down.

His eyes moved calmly but took note of mine and the fact that I was definitely directing my questions at him.

He looked at me like I was some joke, holding the same look he gave me earlier when he clearly warned me of the monster he was.

“Did you fucking touch me?” I blurted out the questions again, hating the way I was being ignored.

This wasn’t the plan at all, I was supposed to drop the food and leave.

But standing right here, where I could get a direct look at his face I wanted nothing but to make it clear to him that he can’t do that with me.

He just smirked, smiling devilishly, giving me the exact answer I knew it was but I hoped it wasn’t.

“You fucking monst..”

“Now isn’t the word fuck too big of a word for you? I mean you shouldn’t be using that word, should you?” He cut me short, looking at me like I was one interesting thing now.

“What?” I nearly screamed out as this wasn’t where I wanted to direct my questioning at.

“You're pretty much still very young to be using that word. Eighteen is quite a small age you know, except you want to engage the word?” His eyes turned and directed sharply at mine.

His words came out unexpectedly, shocking me a bit as he held my gaze for some seconds.

“What the hell?!” I muttered out loud, blinking his stares away.

“You acting quite different from what I know of you Jessica, or should I call you Jess?” He smirked again and the mention of the short form of name that my family only called me, riled me up so bad that I could feel my palms getting sweaty.

Calm down, he’s only trying to get to you. And the only way to beat a monster is to beat him at his own game.

I took a deep breath, holding myself back from giving all away …. “Definitely different from what you thought and I was hoping you didn’t get scared of the ‘hell’ I mentioned but found it more relatable since it’s a place where you should originally be.”

The words come out in a rush as both Tristan and his guest look at me with shock written all over their faces.

That look that says I was being bold.

His shock quickly changed to that of a sly smile as his hand awkwardly pressed down on his chest like he was shot there.

“And one more thing, I really do think hell is too nice for someone like you. You deserve utter darkness!” I didn’t know where that last one came from as I burst out with the words that lingered in my heart.

If I’m going to be direct then I’ll be direct no matter what. What more could really happen that could be as heartbreaking as losing everyone you love and know?..

“Hmm noted. Well then I should let you know that the devil actually answers to me. And how nice to hear pretty words from my mate.” He said like everything I said meant nothing to him.

Like my display of hatred meant utterly nothing to him and the way he called me mate only provoked me more as his smirk grew deeper and all of a sudden his scent drifted to my nose making me a lot uncomfortable.

Like they were working hand in hand… his smirk remained quite permanent on his face while all of a sudden the strong smell of the mate bond filled the air around me.

Making my head go swirly and my nose too active.

I need to get out of here!

“Don’t you fucking think of stepping out those doors. I can so strongly smell the apple princess, you need to think better and bolder if you really have these revenge plans that you harbor.” He stopped me like he could hear my very thoughts or maybe he just saw me move and wanted to turn around.
