445 Just An Act

Declan touched his back with his hands and the fire in his back vanished but it left burning marks and burnt clothes.

The mark started to vanish too. Leaving only the black soot of clothes as a proof that he was burnt.

Anne stared at his back hard when he turned to look at the woman who was still laughing like a maniac.

“That is enough. Leave right now before I forget who you are. Leave right now.” his voice had so much force that even Anne trembled.

She felt like the ground shook as if it was trembling with fear too. Just who was this man standing in front of her?

The eyes of Even narrowed. She wanted to argue further but she knew that she could not win against Declan and if her father came to know that she had attacked Declan, she was going to be in a mess.

“It is not ending yet.” she muttered with gritted teeth as she left from there stomping her feet hard on the ground.

Declan kept staring at her. He only related when she was no more to be seen and turned to look at Anne with worry.

“Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked as he scanned her body with a cold look in his eyes and only relaxed with a bit of warmth in his eyes when he was assured that she was fine.

.....

Anne who was in trance all this time came back to her senses too. She could not believe him. She should not believe him. He is a traitor. He had deceived her.

Her eyes hardened with that thought.

“You do not need to worry about me. I could have handled that situation well.” she spat those words coldly as she turned to leave when he held her hands.

She scowled and turned to look at him when she noticed that his eyes were closed.

“Stay here for a moment. I need time to get a hold of myself.” the words came out pleading as if he was breaking apart.



She wanted to scoff and leave but for some reason she could not get rid of that light hold on her wrist.

She stared at his hands that were holding her as if he still hold right over her with complex emotions.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Phew! Yes. you want to leave, right?” he asked as he opened his eyes.

They were looking calm again as if there was no tension in them since the start.

She looked at him with complex emotions but nodded her head coldly.

“Okay, then shall I drop you back to the palace?” he asked as he extended her hands but she did not take the initiation to hold it.

“That would not be needed, I can go by myself.” she said and without waiting for his reply, she started to walk again.

Her steps were hurried as if she was worried that he was going to follow her and catch up to her.

He was going to hold her hands again and force her to go with him. She would not let it happen again.

With so many thoughts of rejecting him in her mind, she kept walking hastily.

How much time had passed when she finally slowed down. She walked a few more steps but then frowned and stopped.

Waiting for a few more seconds, she turned back abruptly.

“Ha, I know that you are following me. So stop acting and come out. I will not accept it.” she scolded but to her surprise there was no one.

A few of the men and women walking on the road stared at her as if she had lost her senses and walked away making their distance from her.

She kept standing there and looking around like a lost kid who was looking for her parents.

After looking for so long, she realized that he was not there. He was not following her anymore; he was not worried about her anymore.

The thought left a cold chuckle from her mouth but her eyes started to blur with the tears rising in them.

It took her a few minutes to collect herself as she clenched her hands into a tight fist.

“I knew that you did not care from the start. I am glad that you have shown your true colors on time.” she cursed him for everything he had done to her before leaving from there with hasty steps.

But for some reason, walking did not feel that easy anymore.

She paused and sat on a bench nearby while staring at the sky.

She herself was not sure what she was feeling anymore.

Closing her eyes, she shook her head for being a fool.

She heard the rattle of an old carriage nearby and stood up.

Taking the ride, she reached the palace somehow.

The maids who were aware of her position now bowed their heads in her welcome.

“Where is hazel?” she asked in a drained voice.

“His majesty had gone to her chamber with her consort already.” replied the maid with respect when she paused.

She nodded her head and left for her chamber then.

Reaching to her room, she did not care about changing her clothes or taking care of other things as she slumped on the bed directly.

The incidents of the day started to flash past her eyes. How easily she let him touch herself.

This would be the reason he took her as an easy target and treated that badly. He let her go that easily. She must not have mattered from him since the start. It must be an act for some reason she didn’t know.

But then why was she being hurt and thinking about him so much? If he wanted to leave and forget about her then she could forget about him too.

“Yes, I will not think about him anymore. He did not exist for me anymore and to prove it, I will find a new lover tomorrow.”
