Chapter 774 - Seven Hundred And Seventy-four: Betrayal Stings (1/2)

The third point of view :

”You really came,” Akim spun around at the sound of that voice. It had been over five minutes since he arrived at the town square and hadn't caught sight of her.

So he stood beside the stainless steel curved pond shower in the middle of the town square. The briefly polished silver structure drew immense attention from a distance and hence wasn't surprised she saw him first.

Akim lifted his brow at her, ”Were you expecting a royal entourage? You said you were going to tell me everything so I'm giving you a chance. However...” Akim narrowed his gaze at her, ”The way you're staring at me makes me think that I just made a mistake stepping out of the palace,”

He could sense it, the look in Anika's eyes was no longer the same. It looked wild and untamed and he wasn't sure he could recognize her any longer. It was almost as if Anika had become a different person - a person he has no idea of.

”Then you should have trusted your instincts, Akim,” Anika smirked devilishly at him, ”Because there's no going back now,”

”You're one of them, aren't you?” It finally dawned on Akim, ”I was right, you intentionally approached me,”

”Yes, I did and it would really help you a lot if you don't do anything stupid,” Anika warned him when she saw the way his gaze darted around the square, as if thinking of an escape.

She took a step closer to him and Pedro didn't make a move nor was he intimidated as she whispered into his ears, ”It's for your well-being. I don't want to see a dent on your pretty face,”

Akim fisted his hands.

However, something happened. After she was done with her threat, Anika was in the process of pulling away from him when she intentionally took his earlobe into her mouth and nipped on it before letting go.

Delicious shivers went down Akim's spine and he turned to stare at her with shocked eyes. What did she do that for? But there was the usual smirk on her face and that infuriated him.

How dare she play with his emotions? It only confirmed the fact she intentionally approached her. He must have seemed like a pretty miserable prince in her eyes for her to use him like this.

”Don't touch me inappropriately again,” He warned her sternly. He was a prince and no one touched him anyway.

”Really?” Anika smirked, ”You didn't seem to refuse me when we kissed at the beach that day. What has changed now?” she teased him.

”Really? What has changed now?” Akim sneered, ”What changed now is that we're enemies,” He stated.

”We don't have to be enemies you know,” Anika suddenly said, causing his brows to furrow as he scrutinized her.

”All this could stop and peace reigns once more. Then, we don't need to be enemies and we can finally be together,” Anika said, intertwining their hands together.

Akim didn't say anything, rather he stared at their linked hands thoughtfully.
