The Knights

(Master of Deception) 44

"Astreille, I can't understand you. B-Break up, what?" the young man growled angrily as he stared at her intently.

"I said I'm breaking up with you. I don't want to be with you anymore," Astreille replied directly.

He needs to show here that he is determined in what he says. With his look right now, she's sure that Xord won't let her go.

"No."

The girl took a deep breath when the man said that. She bit her lower lip while sobbing. "Xord please, understand me. I don't want to continue this relationship."

"Fuck reasons!" The girl winced when Xord shouted angrily. "You won't break up with me! I don't give a fucking damn about your reasons. It's just me, Astreille. I made it clear to you a hundred times that you won't be able to let go of my grip , so no matter what reason you give me, I don't have the guts to separate that. "

She wiped her tears away before speaking up. "Xord, I'm begging you. L-Let me go, you can find another girl you can love. You can forget me too, I know that," she said while sobbing continuously.

The man clenched his fist before punching the steering wheel. It growls, at any moment it seems to kill with anger.

"I only want one woman in my life and that is you, Astreille. So shut up, pretend that this scene never happened," the young man said coldly.

He was about to drive the car again but Astreille immediately grabbed the door and opened it. She quickly ran away from Xord. There was a taxi parked on the side of the road so he immediately boarded it.

"Ma'am--"

"Just drive, please, please hurry," she said, almost begging.

The driver did not speak, he immediately started the vehicle as the girl said. It was as if a thorn in Astreille's chest had been pulled out when he saw that they were far away from their place earlier.

He just closed his eyes when he felt the tears flowing from there.

She did it.

She's supposed to congratulate herself for breaking up with Xord without any hesitation. But he ended up feeling overwhelmed.

Astreille won't be able to live a happy life without him. Xord is the source of her happiness. The man did many things for her, to make her happy. She became the happiest woman alive when she was with Xord.

But now, he does not know how else he will survive.

When he got home, Astreille's every move was in a hurry to get in right away. She's hoping that Xord won't cause any trouble especially and she's at home with her auntie and her cousin. Her uncle is still sick. I hope the young man will let her go. This is for his own good, she broke up with him for the better.

The girl sat weakly on the bed before covering her face. She sobbed with both her palms covering her face.

"He's gone. Oh God, he's gone," Astreille whispered while sobbing.

Just a few minutes without him being with her was like he was going crazy.

He wanted to run away from the young man, he wanted to retract what he had said. He wanted to say he was just kidding. But you can't.

"Yes, yes." Astreille's eyes widened when she felt a weak shaking in her body.

She quickly roamed her eyes around her room. He noticed it was dark outside. And when she looked at the clock, she was surprised to see that it's 10PM already.

She didn't even realize that she had fallen asleep crying so much. From morning until tonight he was just asleep.

"A-Auntie." The girl rubbed his eyes. "Why? What happened?"

"Ija, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But your cousin, Marie. She's having a fever again, so I forgot to buy medicine earlier. I can't leave because she's crying," the old man explained confusedly.

Astreille caressed her auntie's shoulder.

"Auntie, it's okay. I'll buy the medicine."

"But it's late at night, maybe--"

"It's okay. The grocery store nearby is still open. I'll be right back," Astreille said while smiling.

It was as if a thorn had pulled the old man out of his chest. Sniffing it nodded. "Thank you very much, ija."

Astreille went inside her walk in closet before changing. He just wore a white pajama suit before leaving the room. He just took the wallet before leaving the house.

The grocery he was referring to was just in the block so he didn't bring a car. He just hugged himself because of the cold weather.

His forehead furrowed sharply when there was no light around. "Are the lights broken here?" she whispered.

He leaned over when he saw a man wrapped in a black dress.

She was about to walk past the person, but she quickly stepped back when the person in front of her stopped midway.

Astreille was devastated when the person in front of her removed the mask covering her face.

The light from the moon helped her to see the person's face.

"X-Xord."

A frightened grin crept across the young man's face. "You really think you can get away from me that easily, baby?"

Astreille can't help but to feel scared with his voice. The man's voice was very deep and very cold. His face was even more serious and angry.

"X-Xord. We've already talked--"

"Let's go home." He walked closer to her so Astreille immediately stepped back.

The young man became even angrier at what he had done. Xord crossed between them with the woman before gripping it tightly at the waist.

"Where do you think you're going?" the man asked Astreille angrily.

She sobbed while admiring his handsome face. It was as if she had seen it for years, she missed the young man so much.

"We b-broke up, Xord. We don't have to talk anymore, p-please," she uttered.

The woman's eyes could not escape how dark the young man's expression was.

"We never broke up, Astreille. You're just mine, I won't let you break up with me!"

She stood frozen when Xord claimed her lips aggressively. The young man unceasingly claimed her soft lips. He's kissing her hungrily, like there's no tomorrow.

Astreille grabbed the young man's shoulder as he bit his lower lip with mixed tension. His kisses are different. He's like a hungry wolf ready to eat his prey.

Determined to escape, Astreille quickly walked away from the man and turned around before running away from him.

But she almost screamed when he grabbed her quickly. The young man immediately covered his mouth so that he could not scream.

The girl tried to break free from her ex -boyfriend's grip when he kissed her on the cheek. It hugged from behind him while still covering his mouth with his hand.

"You're just mine, Astreille."

That's the last thing she heard from Xord. The girl immediately inhaled the chemical that the young man had made her smell.

Xord quickly caught her body, he lifted the light body of the beloved before staring at it.

"You are undeniably gorgeous, baby. And you're only mine."
