Chapter 11 - USE THIS TO KILL ME (1/2)

I grew to understand that people don't always build walls to keep others out. It's done out of necessity to protect whatever is left behind.

*****************

Lise was waiting for the pain to come, she was sure that she had pushed her luck too much and what she had done was something that couldn't be tolerated.

How many women had slapped a man like Gael McKeltar? Probably the number was close to zero, but now Lise had done it. She could just wait for her doom.

She had never lost her temper before, but this guy seemed really tempted to awaken her violence side by the way he treated her.

However, instead of pain, she felt a cold metal being pressed tightly into her palm.

Curiosity forced her to open her eyes, only to find out that the cold steel was actually a small dagger with a beautiful handle in the color of blue.

”This…” her voice was very low and hoarse, it seemed her nervousness got the better of her and affected her greatly, more than she imagined.

Lise raised her head when she heard Gael chuckling.

”Do you think I will hit you back?” he asked casually, as he tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and traced his long finger along her jaw, fascinated by her beauty. ”Never. I will hurt you in a different way.”

There was a deep meaning behind his words and Lise knew what it was. She didn't want to think about it, all this time, she had managed to evade his advances with random excuses, but she knew it wouldn't last forever, as she could see the primal desire in his eyes.

Lise shifted her attention from Gael's dark eyes to the dagger in her hand.

”What is this…” her voice was very small, she hated that he could easily control her.

”Next time when you feel like you want to hit me, use this instead.” Gael tapped on the blade of the dagger which was still covered in its sheath. ”Don't use your hand, it will only hurt you.”

In other words, Gael was literally asking her to stab him instead when she felt like she wanted to slap him again.

Was this man crazy?

Lise widened her eyes in disbelief. She didn't know how to respond to that, thus she threw the dagger in her hand away and glared at him.

”I will kill you when I feel like it,” Lise hissed viciously. ”Don't you dare to think that you own me.”

A wicked smirk tugged on the corners of Gael's lips when he heard that. ”I own you baby. You belong to me. And if I see you again with those jerks, I will let them know that you belong to me. I have a thousand ways to show it and I am sure you will not like any of them.”

Lise started to regret that she threw the dagger away, because right at this second, she felt like she wanted to kill him.

==================

It was all because of the debts her father had.
