Submission novel Chapter 40

Everything was frozen.

Time, place, and memories. Even I was one of the victims to such a cold and immobile state but he was not. I never thought that a simple curve of lips could be so mentally lethal and yet as always I was proved wrong. The huge melody of defeat orchestrated in the still air as he kept on looking at me with his eyes, as green as the demon he himself was. He was waiting for me to make some move, to run or scream at him but only one word made its way out of my lips.

"Why?"

He wasn't taken aback by my question but he wasn't prepared either.

"Why what? Why the world revolves around the sun? Why do we think that there is a heaven or hell waiting for us after our death? Why everything beautiful has to end? Why what... Roza?" His unfaltering steps were prowling towards me. Ready to pounce on the injured prey.

"Stop." I matched his actions and took every step back as he made progress towards me.

"Is this your new thing? Talking in monosyllabic words? Because I know a couple of ways to change that." His dominance was overpowering and his words were dreadful. I blame myself and my naivety that I didn't understand it was him all this time, even after all the things that happened to me.

It's useless and it's wasteful, I knew yet I tried to make a clumsy attempt at escape. In a matter of seconds, my back was slammed on the unforgiving wall and the groan of teeth clattering pain, resounding from me echoed on the walls. I was trapped in between his arms with the wall behind my back, providing him the perfect ally at resisting my attempts to escape.

"Where is Liza?" I looked up into his eyes and saw him leaning in. Before our lips could sinfully meet, I moved my head sideways and gave him the perfect opportunity to bury his nose in my raven locks.
