Hellbound With You (WN)

”Xavier! ” Alex gritted his teeth. His eyes blazed like hellfire, stopping himself with all his might.

Xavier didn ’t move and he looked back at Alex with a cold expression.

”Let her go, ” Alex demanded but a small smile just curved on Xavier ’s lips. He averted his gaze towards Abi, and then he lifted his hand. He held something and showed Alex – he held the trigger of the bomb in his hand.

”I know you are fast Alex, so this is the only way. No matter how fast you are, you can ’t be as fast as me pressing this button, ” Xavier said causing Alex to clench his fists tight.

”Tell me, why are you doing this? ” Alex asked after a while of silence. His eyes calm but Xavier knew that behind those calmness lies a demon ready to go berserk.

Xavier looked intently into Alex ’s eyes again and he sighed. ”So this is how it feels to have the most powerful man at your mercy, huh? ” He smirked, his eyes moving yet sad again.

”Alex… do you remember me when I was young? ” he asked. His eyes were now being clouded with nothing but hate. ”No, right? Because I was nothing in your eyes. I know about your story so I thought you would understand mine. I am like you. A so-called prince, but also an outcast. And you… do you even remember who my mother was? Alex… I was there when you executed my mother. She was not a traitor. She begged for your mercy but you were heartless. You were a monster! And then, you bedded my sister before she too died in your hands. I wished countless times that I could make you feel what I felt then. I wanted to kill Abigail before your eyes, Alex, so you would understand the pain. I wanted to torture her right before your eyes so you would know how it felt. ”

As those words came out of Xavier, Alex didn ’t speak and Abi, who was silently tearing up, could only stand there and look at Alex. She didn ’t want to think and process all the things she was hearing. No, this wasn ’t true! Alex… he… he wouldn ’t have done… any of these things, right?

”But I ’m not going to do that. Your wife doesn ’t even know what kind of disgusting monster you are. And I am not sure if you really have the heart to even feel and experience everything I went through from losing all the people close to me. You are a monster after all, with no heart. That ’s why… ” he trailed off and carefully moved towards Abi, not averting his eyes from Alex.
