Chapter 208: Could You Please Die?

Seven Sins System Chapter 208. Could You Please Die?

The words were on the tip of my tongue, begging to be unleashed with the force of a hurricane. 'Could you please die?' I wanted to shout those words at her. But I held myself. I bit back the anger, and the frustration, and instead forced a calm, reassuring smile to my lips.

"Thank you for worrying about me," I said, my voice carefully measured. "But this is something personal. I can't tell strangers about it." It was a lie, of course - I had no qualms about lying, not when it meant keeping my secrets safe. And I certainly didn't want Aria digging into my problems any more than she already had. I was lazy, too, and didn't want to have to come up with new excuses.

But one thing was certain, Aria's appearance indicated that she was suspicious of me. But the tears made her think that I was just a mere human since she knew devils wouldn't cry. It was funny since I never thought the stupid tears could outwit my enemy.

Her hand closed around mine, warm and firm, as she stared into my eyes with intensity. "We aren't strangers, Allen," she said, her voice soft but insistent. Her palm slid up to rest against my cheek, and she smiled gently. "I'm your friend. I promise I will protect you and try to help you solve your problems as much as I can."

The words sent a shiver down my spine, and I couldn't help but cringe inwardly. 'No, are not,' I thought. But I forced a smile onto my lips, determined not to let her see my discomfort. I shook my head from side to side, my voice low and hesitant. "I'm sorry," I said, my lie slipping easily off my tongue. "I can't. Some problems are better left unsaid. This has something to do with my childhood, and I'm sure it would just bore you."

I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could slip away from her grasp. Maybe I could escape this conversation and the prying questions that threatened to expose me. But I was wrong - so very wrong. Instead, I could catch the clear curiosity in her eyes, the way they sparkled with an almost feverish intensity. "Your childhood?" she insisted, her voice low and insistent. "Can you tell me?"

A frown appeared on my forehead, my mind racing. "It was just a normal childhood memory," I blurted out, hoping that would be enough to satisfy her curiosity. "I miss someone."

But even as I hesitated, she pressed on. "Who?" she asked again, her grip on my hand getting harder by the second. Her eagerness and curiosity were evident in her tone and expression, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping over me. "Is it a girl?"Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

I was confused by her over curiosity. "Why are you so curious about this?" I asked, my voice low and rough. My eyes fixed on her.

"I--- I just want to know more about you and make sure you're okay," she stammered. Obviously, it was a lie.

Then without further ado, she turned and raised her hand in front of her, her fingers splayed out like the wings of a bird. Her eyes flickered with a bright light. And then, just as suddenly as it had appeared, the light was gone, and so was she.

Once she disappeared, I slumped down into my chair. It was as if a heavy burden had settled upon my shoulders, one that I couldn't shake off no matter how hard I tried. I let out a long, deep sigh, the sound echoing through the empty room like a mournful cry.

My hand went to my temple, fingers pressing down hard against the flesh there. The pain was sharp and intense, a throbbing ache that seemed to resonate throughout my entire being. I closed my eyes, willing them to go away, but they only seemed to grow stronger.

"For Devil's sake..." I muttered under my breath, my words tinged with frustration and anger. "I can't continue like this."
