Chapter 363 - His return (2/2)
She silently cursed her hubris.
”It had to be you” he didn't sound surprised, in fact his voice was blank, the only thing that bled through was a faint disappointment and that annoyed her more than anything. To him, she ranked so low on his attention that he would rather be equated with a vaguely annoying stranger.
”You know why” her voice was harsh, laden with all the emotions she hadn't let herself give voice to, chief among them was hatred, followed closely by jealousy.
”We had a deal” he returned calmly
”Did you think I wouldn't seize the opportunity that presented itself and destroyed her?” He had to know she would try.
”I understand giving in to temptation, but I am here now, give her to me” he prompted, sure that she would mindlessly obey him in this.
”You speak as if I don't have pride, I have loved you all my days but I am also a proud demoness, she dies here.” She swore and received her first reaction from him
”You don't want to provoke me!” He roared, the very air vibrating with his ire.
”No! You don't want to provoke me, she is a living breathing insult, a constant reminder of how our future was torn apart for a mere human!” She screamed right back, her c.h.e.s.t heaving with the force of her d.e.s.i.r.es
”We had a deal, she is off limits” he stayed again, as if that would change something. He knew what he had to say to make this all go away but he wouldn't lie, he was too proud to lie. That attribute lured her to him but remained the one that cut her endlessly, making her suffer but no more
”Not anymore but why do you care, where were you when I was destroying her life and making her world burn, when I intervened and made her child stillborn and turned her w.o.m.b into a graveyard, where were you, doting father!” She fired at him, hoping to drive a reaction from him.
”I'm here now”
”Too late, any second now the anchors to her soul will shatter taking the life of her babies too.”
”Give her to me now and all will be forgiven and forgotten, I will even give you more power in hell, I will make you my queen.”
She tasted the words but she remained unsatisfied, at a point she would have gladly submitted, happily acquiesce to his superior power. But the hunger in her d.e.s.i.r.ed more now, nothing less than the death of Yan Mei , the death of the entire line would do for her. ”While she remains alive to spoil my delight in it? No”
”You leave me no choice”, he warned, his voice a vicious threat.
