Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: To love you and to stand by your side

"I will never mess around with your things or plot against you again,'' Ella deliberately slowed her words to check his reaction but the man seemed to be far from moved.

''And I won't try to run away anymore.''

Adrian's gaze changed lightly.

Ella was enlightened suddenly.

This man... he did not really care about his company and all but he was moved when she said she wouldn't run away?

This enlightenment amused her but bewildered her all the more.

Ella slowly walked towards him.

In her previous life, she had never done that. Only when adrenaline hit her did she approach him out of rage, wanting to kill him.

At other times, he scared her as much as the devil would scare a human.

But now, despite the lingering fear that was ingrained in her, this man did not seem as scary.

''I won't ever try to run away again,'' She looked up into his eyes and said with conviction.

Adrian pinched her chin and looked at her with narrowed eyes as if he was trying to read her face and her thoughts.

''Things were different before. I was blind and insensitive. There were many things I overlooked but now, you should know that he is already engaged...'' the force on her chin increased, making her gasp for a moment, ''And I have no interest in taken men.''

Adrian released his grip on her chin wordlessly.

But the implication in his eyes was obvious—Even you were a taken woman when you were chasing after him before.

Ella nearly choked on the air. This man certainly said a lot without saying a lot.

''I never took our relationship for a real one.''

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room turned suffocating.

It became difficult to breathe.

''I always thought I caught your fleeting interest. After a while, you'd set me free.''

''What changes now?"

''You have not set me free.''

Adrian: "_"

Ella shook her head, ''But it doesn't matter. Every human has their flaws. I don't blame you for this. At times, I can be insensible but I am a good catch. It explains why you'd want to keep me around with you by hook or by crook.''

"_"

''But Adrian, I am a human being. And I don't have Stockholm syndrome. If you think that locking up in this grand castle will make me fall for you, you are wrong,'' This time, her tone was serious.

Adrian did not say anything.

Ella was at her wits' end, ''Is it okay for you to only have me here? Don't you want anything else? Anything more?"

''It's fine.''
