Boy in Love (8)

"What? Is Ella not a human being?" My jaw dropped.

He nodded his head, "She turned into a fairy after she protected her brother. But I didn't think she would protect him! She was supposed to be mine and only mine."

This guy was clearly out of his mind. No wonder Ella wasn't willing to talk to him. If I were her, I would be busy trying to kill him instead.

"Every time we met, she would only talk about him. He appeared in every single one of our conversations like a parasite. I thought she would become mine once I got rid of the barrier between us!" He defended himself.

"But she wouldn't talk to me when I would say anything bad about her brother," he began to become angry from the thought.

"It's no wonder," I mumbled.

"Would you talk to someone who badmouthed Ella?" I tried to place him in her shoes.

His eyes lit up from my comment. I started to float out of my chair like last time. However, Luke tried to pull me down with all his strength. Claire, who sat beside me, helped Luke as they combined their strengths, even resorting to using their mana. When he realized his powers were starting to get out of control again, he stopped.

"This is exactly why I didn't want to help. Don't you think the chandelier was enough?" I became more hostile.

"I apologize, you know it's hard to control your powers after you cross dimensions," he explained.

"Then why doesn't your guardian help you?" I raised my hand to show him the spell he placed on me.

"It's not that simple," he grumbled.

"That spell will wear off soon," he pointed out.

"So your story?" I attempted to switch the topic.

I didn't need more people knowing more about my situation. I would somehow fix this travelling between dimensions thing. My head started to throb from the stress as I convinced myself that I still had some time left.

"It's like he was leading her on all this time. I tried to warn her that her brother would be eventually married to his partner in the future, but she wouldn't believe me. She said he promised to marry her in the future," he continued.

"She even wore a diamond ring given by him as a birthday present. Meanwhile, she never accepted the presents I gave to her for our anniversary events and her birthdays. Instead, if her brother liked the gift, she would give it to him like my feelings were nothing," his voice cracked.

"Then why didn't you find someone else to direct your feelings towards?" I recalled her brother's affairs.

"How could I ever betray my partner?" He appeared offended.

Nobody had enough time to help me as I was immediately slammed into the wall all the way across the long dining room table. He was definitely more powerful than Ella. Instead of a crater, there was a hole inside the wall where I landed.

I wondered if he ever felt any pity for the ones he constantly injured. There was no way I could get up on my own. Luke sprinted towards me, giving me a handkerchief to clean up some of the blood I coughed onto my dress again.

Since I was so used to all the attacks, I wasn't even surprised anymore. Yulian also dashed to push himself to use heal on me with Claire. When I was able to get back to my feet again, they couldn't get up from the floor without Luke's help.

Unfortunately, Luke had to carry me in his arms so I could get back to my seat. My bones were barely mended together from their efforts. I had to be extremely careful as one of my bones could shatter if I bumped into anything.

"So that wall slam?" I prevented myself from slamming my hands on the table.

"I told you it's hard to control my powers when I get overwhelmed," he looked at me guiltily.

"Look. There's only so much I can handle before you accidentally kill me. And if you do happen to kill me like Ella, I will definitely not talk to you like her, eliminating all of your chances," I glared at him.

"I'll try!" He began to panic.

"I tried everything to separate her from him. I bought her the most expensive things and followed her around to know her preferences. I know she used to like mango pudding and premium streak with a seafood dressing. Her favourite restaurant was located in the second district since it was easier to hide their relationship from their parents there," he explained.

"The only reason why I didn't kill that jerk was because they would be together again," he mumbled to add.

I wondered what he meant by them being able to be together again. Was he implying that her brother would turn into a fairy? Did people turn into fairies that easily after their deaths in the first district? This was when I was truly reminded that I reincarnated into a fantasy world mixed with all the advanced technology, which made me miss the fact.

"At least her brother didn't kill anyone," I pointed out he was still in the wrong.

"What do you mean? After I accidentally killed Ella, the next person to die was me. He was the one who murdered me," his eyes narrowed.
