Chapter 515: A Deadly Slap (1/2)
Paulo's smooth face and piercing gaze would have made her believe what she had known to be true up to this point in time.
”Did he really do that for me? He cares?” a wish in the midst of impossibility bloomed out from nowhere inside Natalia's thoughts.
”IMPOSSIBLE!” Yet her rational mind was practically screaming at her to shake her off from the wild day dream she was having.
It was forever the ways of a fool to expect otherwise than what was presented over and over again.
Natalia was rather conflicted for a breath of eternity within the warring visions between hope and negativity that unbeknownst to her,
a frown had already shown itself towards the lone spectator of her inner struggle.
”Natalia...” Paulo whispered which broke the frenzy of emotions surging before the woman in his eyes.
”I honestly... just did it for the money. HAHAHA!” He added when Natalia's eyes cleared from that fog of haze she was in.
And true to his anticipation, the faraway look in the woman's eyes vanished and was promptly replaced by a look of pure hate, directly intensely at his direction.
”There you are, the sight which I am most familiar with. My Natalia. My obsession.” The sole man inside the comforts of the room thought wordlessly.
He took one long drag at the bottle on his hands then proceeded to bridge the gap between two souls that had yet to know each other once more.
”TAP!”
”TAP!”
”TAP!” Paulo was only a step away before he got stopped by the inevitable end.
”PAK!” A sharp sound echoed which ended one life in the aftermath.
”THUD!” Paulo lost his balance and cracked his head on the cold floors.
”...” Silence followed as Natalia was stunned by what happened.
'Did I hit him so hard that he passed out because of it?'
'Or is this bad man only toying with me just like the countless times in the past?' Natalia thought as she froze on the spot at this time.
”Arrogant Prick?” Some breaths more and she could not help but call for the name of the seemingly unconscious handsome man. Alas, no word or action answered her summons.
It got to the point that she could really not take the tension anymore and so she leaned down to shake the body of her bad husband.
Her imagination got hyperactive and she was half expecting Paulo would grab her neck and pull her into a hot scorching kiss. Luckily enough, Natalia survived the ordeal with no accidents whatsoever.
Paulo opened his eyes before Natalia could ever touch his body.
”I am here.” A man's voice was heard but the difference from before was quite obvious indeed.
Gone was the teasing smile and the hurtful mocking gaze and what replaced was a demeanor of curiosity and wonder.
Paulo stood up carefully and what he did next felt very strange unto our very own Natalia. Paulo roamed his eyes around this luxurious room and settled in an eerie silence thereafter.
It did not need telling that this man was not anymore the original Paulo who died from a slap some moment ago. This was of course the advent of our bored gamer in this new realm.
In the silence that ensued, Clark was busy combing the myriad memories of the recently departed Paulo Agustin.
A full minute later and he looked at the beautiful Natalia with open sympathy.
