The Broken Prince - Chapter 95

I opened the door and it was really dark so I walked in to find the switch. Maybe the receptionist led me to the wrong room. I was about to leave when someone grabbed my waist and my back collided with someone else’s body. I was caught off guard and my heart started to beat abnormally but returned to normal when I caught a familiar scent.

“Why do you have to be this beautiful Alex?” His voice sounded so sincere, smooth and deep that it gave me chills.

“Hade.” Was the only word that I could give as an answer.

His strong arms tightened even more as he nuzzled his face on my neck which send numerous tingling sensation throughout my body to the point where I was only a sniff away for my legs to give in totally. Why is he affecting me this way. And how did he get here immediately? I just saw him looking back there, seeming unbothered.

“Stop saying my name with your mouth.. I might ravish you.” His voice was stern as his warm and minty breath fanned over my neck. My hands went to his arms as I held them and signaled him that he let’s me go but his gripped only tightened. In the dark room that we were in, a window pane was open and the light of the moon peeked through it, casting a faint light on the two of us.

“H-Hade, let me go.” I spoke and hated the way I stuttered. I could still smell his scent, it filled my airways and placed me in euphoria. It was familiar somehow and I am sure that I have smelled this scent before, even way back to when Hade and I met, only it is to be shamed as my memory becomes hazy and is unable to recall where and when.

“Then you shouldn’t have looked like this, especially when I’m about to crush you.” He spoke. His voice, his mouth, every words produced by both were sincere and were laced with nothing else but realness which I hate.

“Why are you hugging me. When you should be dead talking me. Hade you keep confusing me with your actions.” I spoke the thought that has lingered in my mind for too long for my liking.

I heard a snicker which came from him and felt that his embrace loosened up. I was about to walk away and distance myself from his as I was starting to feel things that I did not want to resurface, the feelings that I felt when I had that dream. When I thought that he had let me go completely, his hands grabbed mine and both of which became interlocked. My eyes looked up to meet his but was unable to see those orbs that makes me feel things as his back was the one that was facing me. He walked towards the window pane where the moonlight peeked from the partly opened drapes to which he now opened fully.

The moonlight engulfed the both of us now and I could now see him. I did not want to admit but my heart started to beat in some sort of way. I was feeling the things I felt at that dream just by looking at him.

His features held no remorse towards me like they usually did, his aura felt calm which is nothing but a rare case, and his eyes for once, looked very clear and glowing for the first time. His features glowed and were highlighted by the moonlight. Those dark brows, sharp and pointed nose, red lips and sharp edges of his jawline. He looked absolutely breathtaking from my point of view. If only I could see him like this every time. I smiled unknowingly as I looked at him.

“You are right Alex. I should be spewing my usual words right now and spread hate to you but, something about tonight just made me feel to not do it. Don’t get me wrong, I will surely make sure that every word I spoke of before will become reality once we are in there but I- I don’t know.” His gaze were away from mine and was on the view that was facing us. I just looked at to where he was gazing and made no answer as I thought of that he might have something to say even more.

“You- you remind me of someone.” He spoke his voice laced with something I could not pin point but my heart skipped a beat when he said that. I remind him of someone?

“And I don’t usually pray to whoever is up there but now I say this, I pray to those who is up there, to let it not be you.” My heart ached as I looked down and my hand lost its grasp on his. He might have noticed that as he looked at me immediately and his eyes became wary as he realized the thing that he just said.

“I didn’t mean it like that-”

“Hade, you know you really confuse me most of the time. You hate me for something I don’t know the reason as to why, then you talk to me casually and then ends up talking to me about my death and your hate towards me. Then you act like this like you like me and you make me feel things when you’re like this! You are the only person who can make me happy and get my hopes up because I get to think that we are becoming okay with each other but then you also hurt me at the same time. Why Hade? I just want to know. Why do you treat me like this?” I spoke, a single tear falling from my eyes. I was hurt and I did not know that I would be this hurt by a person who hates me.

“Alexander-” He spoke and his voice sounded guilty which made me even more hurt.

“Do you think that I am a toy, Hade Morningstar? Is it because I do not have my powers that you think I am no worthy of a person? Is that it?” I spoke with my voice breaking and tears falling even more. Ah shit, I’m ruining my make up at this point.

“Alexander no-”

“Then why!? Tell me! Why do you do this to me! Why do you keep playing me! I for once Hade will tell you this! I am not a toy to be played with! I am a full and functional human being that is capable of feeling things and has complex emotions! Please know that I too, gets hurt by your words and actions. If I did you wrong, please tell me what it was and I’ll make it up to you. Just don’t do this to me, it drives me insane, thinking that you see no worth, not even the tiniest bits in me.” I spoke my voice even higher than that of how it should normally be in tone.

I looked up at him and saw that he was looking at me with sad eyes. They were clear still but the trace of sadness and the flicker of guilt was seen as if it was exposed in broad daylight.

“Won’t you tell me why?” I spoke as I looked at him straight in the eye. He sighed and looked away before he looked at me back.

“My intention was to not hurt you emotionally-”

“Then what was your intention then!” I exclaimed in frustration because despite those guilt in his eyes, I feel like he’s lying to me. He grabbed both of my hands and enclosed them with his large ones.

“Look, I know that I have not been that nice to you, o-or have approached you nicely but what I say is the truth. It was never my intention to hurt you emotionally. But now that I seem to have hurt you this way, then might as well go all the way and tell you the reason why. Alexander, I have my reasons as to why I despise you not because of how you are but because of where you came from. I am even surprised because you still don’t know the reason why but I will not tell you about that as it is that person’s responsibility to not keep you in the dark for so long because you might become blind. If you had been from another kingdom, I would have not acted like that in the first place. I know that you are not dumb to think that I do what I do to you for no reason. Yes, I also feel a certain way about you but I will not be able to accept that feeling as I could only see you as one of my enemies and a person who’s blood is one with the person who did me so wrong. From now on, I tell you that all I will feel for you is distaste and despise. Nothing else, I say that in the hopes that you get a one track mind about us. So that you won’t be confused in the future. Our relationship will simply stand as enemies.” Hade spoke.
