He was going to shout again when she finally raised her head but as soon as he looked at her face, words died in his mouth and fear started to crawl in.
“Your.. Your eyes!” her whole eyes were black and he couldn’t even see the iris or Sclera anymore. The whole eye was pitch black with a silver pupil in the middle of it.
They looked so horrifying that just by looking at them, he was feeling all the hair of his body standing up.
“Who.. what.. What are you?” he asked as fear filled his face and sweat started to form on his face.
“Wrong question?” she muttered as she finally let his hands go but with so much force that he staggered and took a few steps back.
“The question is, what are you planning to do?” she asked in a voice full of disgust as she took steps towards him and he continued to move backwards.
In the end, his back hit the wall and she was just a few steps away when she stopped in front of the table and picked up the tissue from the table and cleaned her hands as if she had touched something filthy.
Her act infuriated him again and he stared at her with fury.
“What do you mean? Do you know the result of your actions? You will be..”
“I will be protected by Rafael till then! You should be worried about yourself. What if I kill you right here and then claim that I did it in self defense.
Even if I would lose the trial and be given a few years’ punishment in jail. You are going to die. Who would be at disadvantage then?” she asked as she shrugged her shoulders and threw the tissues behind her.
Then she picked up the knife from the fruit basket and played with it in her hands and stared back at him as if challenging him when he gulped.
His body started to cover in cold sweat as he realized that she was not joking. Hell! He did not even know what was she?
Had hazel been possessed but he had never heard the case and he had so many witches working under him that he had been notified if other witches had entered the palace.
He gulped his saliva as he opened his mouth but when he stared at her face, no words came out of his mouth. She was looking like she would throw the knife just for fun if he asked her one more time.
“Hazel, why are you so angry? We can sit and talk. Take it easy? Didn’t you hate your father? He was such a scumbag.
He always treated you like you are a thing. He married you without your wish!
He did the same with me. He used me as if I was a thing. Often taunting me in front of everyone. He was a man who never cared about anyone. Even his wife hated him.
We always wanted to get rid of him. I swore that I had mixed very little poison in your food so that you would not get sick. Is it the side effect of poison?
Do not worry, I will call the physician and ask you to check again. I will help you in getting treatment, no matter how much money I need to spend or call a lot of physicians and experts.
I.. i..” he did not know what to say anymore. When he noticed that large grin on her face and without any warning, she threw the knife towards him.
He tried to move but he felt like body had frozen. He could not move even an inch. He closed his eyes when the knife was just an inch away when he felt the sharp pain on his cheek and then a loud sound.
He opened his eyes and touched his cheeks from where the blood was dripping and noticed that the knife had hit the wall and he had got only a small scratch on his right cheeks.
“Ah! Looks like i missed the aim. I was aiming at your head.” she took an exaggerated sigh when he gritted his teeth again.
The look on her face was telling that she only aimed at his cheeks. She did not want to kill him but only played with him. An action he always does with women who are nothing but a plaything.
They only get drawn towards wealth and power like an insect drawn towards light. They did not care about a thing, how a person is, how his behavior and what his liking is.. All they cared about was power. How could they find a chance to get themselves linked with a strong man who would protect them and earn luxury for them.
Such greedy and heinous things are women. That was why he always lured these insects of a woman towards the light of power and wealth. Show them that only he could fulfill their dreams only to crush them and trample them under his foot.
That was what they deserve but this was the first time a woman was challenging not only his authority but was treating him like he was nothing more than an insect like she was!
“Say, shall I try again?” he only came back to his senses to see another knife in her hands and only god knew where she had got it from. But before he could open his mouth and request her, order her or plead her to stop, she threw it once again. This time, the dagger hit his arms and scratched it before hitting the wall again.
Surprisingly she had more. With a wide grin on her face, she continued to throw knives and daggers at him until his whole body was covered with a small wound and the wall had his whole outline on it. When she laughed and rubbed her hands like a crazy maniac.
“Now.. that we are done with the warm up. I want you to give you another chance to speak up the truth this time.. I will not lose my mark.”
