CROSSING THE BORDER novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

“Do you want me to die?” Maximus smiled softly at her, this confession didn’t faze him. After all, this was not the first time he heard her wish. “Fine. But, you need to help ine.”

Maximus then stood up, he went into the bedroom, and then grabbed a knife. He returned with the knife in his hand, and gave it to Rania.

“Here. Do it.” Maximus was sitting in front of her. “Kill me, if it can sate your anger. I don’t want this life anymore if you don’t want me.”

Maximus wrapped his hand around Rania’s, as she held the knife.

“One clean cut.” Maximus pressed the sharp edge against his neck. “Or you can stab my neck and let me bleed to die.”

Rania’s eyes flickered. It was not sure whether she was listening to him or not, but there was a tinge emotion there, and Maximus craved on it.

“Or, you can stab me in the heart.” Maximus brought the tip of the knife against his chest, right where his heart was. “Take it, Rania. Take my life. I don’t want it. I should have died long time ago. My father wished I was dead in one of his tortures, but I was too stubborn to live. I wanted a revenge, but now, there is nothing I need to avenge. I only want you.”

And if she didn’t want him back, there was no point to hold on this measly life of his.

“Stab me, kill me, ruin me. I will be damn if I don’t let you get what you want.”

Maximus stared into her eyes. There, he saw a flicker of emotion again. He was happy to see that. He wanted to see more of her.

“It’s a pity that our time is very short, even more because I don’t cherish you when I still could.” Maximus pressed his forehead against hers, and kissed the tip of her nose, before he drove Rania’s hand that held the knife against his chest, straight to his heart.

Rania gasped when she felt the warm liquid that burst into her hand. Out of instinct, she pulled back, but Maximus’s hand was still holding hers tightly.

“It’s okay. Everything will be fine. It’s okay…” His voice was comforting.

When Maximus took revenge on his father, he beheaded him with his own hands. He remembered how his claws embedded into his skin. He remembered the last gurgling sound that his father let out, and that gave him a satisfaction.

He felt fulfilled, and at ease for the first time after so long when he realized his father had died in his own hand.

The satisfaction that he wished Rania felt right now for taking his life with her own hand.

Maximus then twisted the knife, giving his heat one last shudder before he collapsed onto her lap, only then the grip on her hand loosened, and Rania could pull away her hand.

Chapter 114

The last thing Maximus saw before he closed his eyes was Rania’s emotionless expression. He wished, she had a smile on her lips, the smile he had when he ended his father’s life.

“What do you mean?!” Declan just received a report that Rania stabbed Maximus, and the king was in a critical condition.

“What is it?” Eiten was ready to leave when he saw Declan was furious after a warrior talked to him. He could sense his rage in the bond they shared. “What happened?”

“What?” Eiten raised his brows. He didn’t fear Declan, hell, he was a better fighter than the royal beta, but at this moment Declan was exceptionally scary.

But, his question only set Declan off even more. “Who do you think?! That woman! Rania! She tried to kill Maximus!”
