Chapter 68 Happiness
"Thank you so much for giving me a new life... my angel." He stated lowly as he pulled out of the hug.
Angel... but I'm a monster. I'm a monster that people feared the most, a monster that kills countless of people. However, I hide the thoughts with a smile.
"Thank you..." I stated. Thank you for putting me back to life... for giving this monster a chance to smile.
*ring!* The moment was cut off when the telephone rings. "Yes," I answered blankly.
"He-hello ma'am. I'm already outside of the hotel." I can sense fear from him.
"Okay." I ended the call.
I faced Xenon. "My driver is already outside of the building. Let's go."
"Aye, aye captain!" He saluted which made me smile at his actions.
While walking towards the elevator. Why I can't stop sensing his movements!? All of my senses are clouded by him...
"I'm glad to see you smile more often." He breaks the silence.
"Tch." I looked away.
"How did you do that?" The door of the elevator opened, it's empty as we get inside.
"Do what?" I asked still not looking at him instead my eyes fix on the closed door of the elevator.
"Make my heart beats so fast." I can feel him staring at me... I can't help but bit my lip at his gestures.
"Shi*!" He cursed which made me immediately looked at him but... he is already so close to me.
"I told you not to do it." He said in his deep husky voice while holding the side of my neck as he slammed his lips into mine.
My eyes widen as my heartbeat hammered rapidly against my chest synchronized with his...
He holds my waist and pulled me closer towards him as our body connected which made all of the systems in my body go insane.
He's kissing me slowly... I closed my eyes and I don't know why but I responded to his kisses. Drowning in overwhelming feelings...
He licked my lower lip asking for entrance and I gave him as he explores my mouth. I raised my hand to his hair as I deepened the kiss. I'm lost. I want more of him...
The kiss is ravishing as if it's the last, feeling each other with hunger and love. Love?
I pulled out from the kiss as we both catches for air. His forehead is on mine and my eyes are staring at his soft plump lips. *ding!*
"Come on." He holds my hand and dragged me outside of the building. While I'm still in the process. Love... What just happened!??
This man... looking at him smiling. Butterflies filled my stomach and I can't deny the fact that I... like this man...
On the way to school. The tension inside the car is too intense. The driver is afraid to look at me and he barely talks to any Tarre.
So, Xenon and I are seating at the back seat in silence but I can feel him glancing at me sometimes, while I never leave my eyes on the window watching the outside.
"Claire you have a choice. Going back to school is dangerous, so please I'll ask you again. Don't go back until everything is safe." He pleaded. Actually, we talked about this earlier.
"I already told you Xenon. I'll go back and you can't do anything about it. That's my choice and it's final." I ended still staring at the window.
He breathed accepting his defeat. "Are you mad at me?" He suddenly asked which made me looked at him.
"No. I'm not." I immediately answered.
"Why do you seem like avoiding me? Is it about the kiss earlier?" He asked while staring at my eyes intently.
I looked down "I-It's just that... Everything is new to me... I'm too confused." I told him the truth.
The kiss... it woke me up from the truth, I like him but it can't stop me from thinking of the possibilities. I'm the heiress of the dark world and if these feelings will get deeper, I'm afraid I can't let him go one day.
He hold my waist and pulled me closer to him. "I love you, Claire... I want to be selfish for once and follow my heart. I will protect you with all my life." He holds my hand "Without you, my world is too dark... I don't want to lose you or I'll break into pieces because the moment I found you, you completed this broken heart of mine." He's too sincere as he said every word with determination.
"But Xenon, I'm-" He shut me up by putting his thumb on my lips.
"I have only one question for you Claire... Do you have feelings for me?" He asked, hoping...
I can't lie to him so I nodded, he let out a genuine smile and hugged me "Then follow your heart Claire, stop refraining yourself... Just be happy for once." He breaks from the hug and "Because I will make you happy the best that I can in every precious moment I have with you."
He's right... life is unpredictable and anytime it might disappear. So, I have to treasure every moment I have with the person who makes me smile. To the person who gave me life.
I hold his nape and pulled him closer to me as my lips met his. He freezes for a moment but responded to my kisses, soft and slow... I pulled out and smile "Thank you."
He smiled. "I love you and I will never get tired of saying it."
These feelings are overwhelming as I can feel my body in fireworks. One thing is for sure...
This monster has fallen for this man... Xenon Montreal.
I sensed the school gate opened. We looked straight to see that we are coming inside for another challenge of life.
A trial that will test our love, not knowing if we can get out alive...
I am Venice Claire Tarre. The Heiress of Dark World. Starting today, I will fight for my happiness...
And I will kill anyone on my way.
