169 Perverted Hands (1/2)

Thea could feel the piercing stare of Jeru at her from afar. Thea let out a sigh of frustration.

Chin informed her that Jeru knew. He had the knowledge of what had happened that night and he was on the move to investigate Chin and her. Chin needed to leave her for a while to fix the mess she created so it would not reach to Leon's ears because if that happens, then their plan to free Thea from him will be in jeopardy.

The event was about to start and she was uneasy because of Jeru's continuous stare at her. She knew that he was watching her every move. 'Don't worry I learnt my lesson the hard way and will not dare to make a drastic move!' She wanted to shout at him because if eyes could kill, he had already killed her several times today!

And as this one pervert was not enough to torture her lone self, her heart was jolted with the view of Zach entering the function hall with Keira.

'What is this? Will I end up double dead tonight?' Thea mused as she bit her lip to control her emotions. The pain was surreal, stabbing her back and forth continuously so hard that she felt she was almost dead. But she was afraid to die… Afraid to die lonely and a loser…

She drank a glass of wine and tried to distract herself to the music that began to fill the hall and Brione Park started to sing her most trending song that had sold millions already in just a few days. This love song had soft and heart touching music. The superstar had invited everyone for a dance in the center of the hall, while she sang...

Seeing Zach and Keira head forward for the dance, Thea felt a wave of pain in her heart… she froze on her spot and stood like a statue, her gaze fixed at Zach and Keira, walking towards the center along with others to dance.

Thea noticed how Zach was smiling wide at Keira and his eyes… How she missed those eyes and that doting stare Zach gave, were full of love for her once, but today there was only Keira in them, no one else.

Thea picked another glass of drink and gulped it all in one go. Her eyes were starting to swell as she suppressed the tears that were about to fall anytime soon. She even bit her lip hard to control her emotions, feeling the metallic taste of blood

She almost shrieked when she saw Zach laughing while Keira said something… He never laughed like that before when they were together. Seeing Zach laughing like that made Thea smile unconsciously. Zach looked so happy, those smiles and laughter was just too lovely for her eyes.

”I want to talk to him at least,” she mumbled in frustration as she drank another glass of wine. Out of herself, she walked towards the center of the hall without a partner to dance with. Her eyes never left Zach and she kept muttering, ”I just want to talk to him!”

Suddenly her arm was pulled abruptly and startled she gasped as Jeru's dark face came in front of her eyes unexpectedly. She felt his arms around her waist as he pulled her for a dance farther away from Zach and Keira.

”Stop it already! I won't let you ruin the good mood between the couple!” Jeru hissed. ”What?!” Thea burst out as she tried to get away from Jeru's arms but Jeru was too strong for her to succeed, as he held her firmly.

”What ruin? What do you think I am? I am not that despicable a woman you think I am! I won't do anything to him, I just want to talk to him once!” Thea murmured and this time the tears she was trying so hard to contain till now, suddenly fell from her eyes.

Jeru sighed and was speechless at the same time. His gloomy expression suddenly became soft as he felt Thea bury her face in his chest and she sobbed incessantly.
