"Liar!!! Liar! You're lying!" she cried, pulling his shirt. "Don't lie to me."
Kai swallowed and gently held Abi's shoulders. "Please Abigail, leave this country. You have to go back. Alex is dead. He's not here –"
"No! I don't believe you." She trembled as she sobbed.
"I'm so sorry, Miss. You can't be here. Alex is gone so –"
"No… stop it, I won't believe you. Even if you show me his grave, I still won't believe you. I know he's alive! You guys are hiding him from me. Otherwise, why would you be sending me away? I know you guys are the reason why I couldn't visit this country! Why? Why are you doing this to me?"
Abi broke down in front of Kai. She was in so much pain. She couldn't take it anymore.
Kai could see it, she was drowning, barely holding on. Despite the lovely dress she wore, he noticed that she seemed to have lost weight and she was paler than ever that she almost looked like one of them. No matter how hard he tried to shield himself from the pain he saw in her eyes, it was far too raw and much too intense that even Kai's heart was swayed. He fell silent. He didn't know what to do or say to alleviate her pain. What could he do for her? What could he say to make her feel better? 'Nothing,' was the answer that came to his mind.
Seeing the state that she was in now, he didn't want to give her hope. It was hopeless. It was too late. She was too late and now, there was no way she could be with Alex anymore…
Kai could only slowly lift his hand and pull her into his embrace because he knew that no amount of words of pity or empathy could ever take her pain away. So he hugged her tight, leaning her forehead into his chest as she sobbed like her heart was breaking. She was clearly on the verge of breaking down.
He gently rubbed her back, trying his best to comfort her because it seemed that this was the only thing he could do for her now. He held her patiently until he felt her sobs die down a little and Kai felt relieved that she was finally calming down. But then, Abi pulled away and looked at him, eyes as fierce as a momma bear protecting her cubs.
"I'm not going to leave this place until I see him, you hear me? Now that I've seen you for myself, I know he is here somewhere and I won't leave until I find him!" she said as she pounded her fists on his chest, her chest rising and falling from the exertion.
Kai creased his brows, now looking worried to death. "But, Miss –"
Before he could say anything more, Abi pushed him away and that was the scene Kelly witnessed when she walked down the corridor, looking for Abi. She immediately dashed towards them and her eyes widened from seeing Abi in such a state.
Without a second thought, Kelly grabbed Kai's collar and pinned him against the pillar as Abi stepped back and squatted on the ground, her hands tugging at her hair.
Kai closed his eyes, pinching the skin between his brows. He had gone through all the trouble of making sure that everyone who had seen Alex, and those connected to him, forgot all about them, and yet, he had the misfortune to paths with this girl again.
This was becoming extremely troublesome. That hypnotic incense was undoubtedly powerful but there have been a few known cases where someone's memories would be triggered when they encountered that person again, especially when that happened within the span of a year from their memories being wiped. That was why everyone returned to Country V, to their dens, to minimise the likelihood of this happening with Abigail or any of the people who knew them. They had to stay away from those people for years so that those who had met them would be able to forget them, completely.
"I didn't do anything! And who are you calling, hooligan? Don't turn this around on me, oh Queen of all hooligans. That name is much more suited to you when you're acting like this, even when wearing such a beautiful dress," Kai said and as expected, Kelly frowned at him. Why did he sound like he was familiar with her?
Her eyes narrowed as she surveyed his face. It was obvious that her eyes were asking where she saw or met him before.
However, Kelly set aside whatever that strange feeling was. 'Must just be déjà vu,' she thought and focused on the situation at hand.
She tightened her hold on his collar and pinned him harder on the pillar. This man had to pay for making Abi cry. She was going to break this damned pretty face of his!
"You asshole, how dare you make a girl cry, especially my Abigail!" she said through gritted teeth. She made a fist and was about to land a punch on his jaw, but Kai caught her fist.
What Kai did only inflamed Kelly's anger and that was the final straw. She was going to show no mercy and make him suffer. Kelly took a small step back and aimed her knee towards his groin, a small, mischievous smile playing on her lips as she imagined the moment he would double over from the pain, but to her surprise, Kai caught her leg, stopping her advance yet again!
"F*ck! You really want a fight, huh, pretty boy?" she snorted and in the next second, she pressed her body onto him. If muscle wouldn't work, then there was always plan B. Her softness pressed against Kai's chest but his reaction was the complete opposite of what she was expecting. Instead of the man falling speechless and his brain turning to mush, he actually jumped away from her like she was some contagious virus and then he had the gall to turn around and walk away.
