“Bella! Are you angry with me? I know that it is you. The moment I saw your portrait, I knew that it was you.
This attraction that i have felt towards you, i have never felt it towards any other women, how could it not be you when my heart beat increases whenever i come closer to you?” He was a few inches away from her because he knew she would really attack him if he crossed this limit.
Though he was sure he would not die, he did not want to anger her.
“Didn’t you stay silent when I asked you what I was just a few hours ago? And now that you feel that I am Bella, you are swearing your love to me. Ha!
Is this love or obsession towards a name? Look clearly, I am still the girl who was staring at you at that time. Nothing had changed, then how could you change your answer so casually.
Weren’t you telling me that you are leaving me here as a maruis just now?” he could feel her resentment and sighed.
He knew that she had powers when her wound healed but he was not ready for commitment since he was sure if she was Bella or not!
He was only checking the waters when he told her that he was going to leave her here alone but now if he would tell her that he was not sure and was only flaring her by saying so.
Not only would she call him fickle minded but she would beat him too.
“I apologize. I was a fool. You can punish me alright. You can beat me again.
Do you want me to throw it on the ceiling again or out of the window? Or maybe beat me with those soft and tender hands of yours?
I am ready to get any punishment. But do not refuse that you are Bella.“ The more he spoke, the more she felt like she would lose her present identity forever. She would be trapped in her past she did not remember much about.
The memories are trapped behind a door with only a blurry image of every incident that happened to her. She didn’t even remember how they met.
Her hands clenched and unclenched several times while her chest heaved up and down. She was hardly keeping the annoyance bubbling in.
She was more annoyed at herself. She did not know who she was anymore and his words are only increasing her trouble.
“I have told you so many times Rafael that Bella had died in front of you. I am not her and I will never be her.
If you are looking for her in me then leave. I am hazel through and through and i will not leave to let her take my place.” Just as the words left her mouth, her eyes turned dark and a strong gale was produced around.
He could feel that if it continued she would crumble the whole building around her and then everyone would know about her powers.
?[0)??? In her past life, she was hunted badly by vampires, humans and witches. If they would come to know that she was back, she would lose her freedom and life again.
No! He would not let that happen. She had already suffered a lot in the past. He would not let it repeat.
Her hair was flowing in the air and the air around her head turned heavier. The dark aura was so strong that a layer of black could be seen around her vibrating as if leaving the aura in the air.
“Bella!” Just as the words left his mouth, he felt like the intensity of her anger increased and he took a deep breath.
He did not understand why she was running away from her own name. If he had some doubts before, the black eyes and black aura was proof that it was her.
Hi Bella!
“Fine! Hazel, I apologize for calling you by a wrong name. Please calm down and rest. You are still wounded and exhausted. You should not be that hyper.” he tried to calm her but his every action was increasing the pressure in the air when his eyes fell on the crack on the wall that formed just then and he panicked.
“Hazel, it would be better if we talked the next day. I need to handle a few more things. I will meet you later.” he took a step back to see if something changed when he felt that he could breathe again.
The air was still heavier as if something was trying to crush him but when he took steps back and tried to create distance he felt the intensity started to decrease.
Just when she thought that he would leave. She felt better. His words were crushing her but it also left a tinge of disappointment. He was right, she should not let her emotions flow.
Anne had told her to not use her energy too much or she would grow unstable again. Anne had already suffered a lot by absorbing her energy once, it would not be good to ask her again and Hazel didn’t know anyone who could help her with her condition.
She took a deep breath and tried to control herself. She had to sort her thoughts out and decide for herself. She could not be dependent on Rafael for doing that.
Soon the room started to turn normal and her feet touched the ground again. She slumped her body to bed and took some deep breaths when she felt warmth filling her cold body.
His hands wrapped around her shoulders tightly and he inhaled her scent. She felt a strange peace in her body and the tornado forming in her core started to calm too surprising her.
“Shushh! I do not care who you are and I do not care what you feel for me but let me stay like that for sometime. I beg you, let me hold you in my arms.”
