Chapter 19: Someone's Allegations Someone's Agony

Nathaniel POV

"Shut up! Dress yourself properly." When he's done, I make her sit in the couch hoping she will talk to Oliver first but my expectations fail as she sits there being clearly hesitant. I understand she's feeling uneasy but it's literally weird and unexpected to see her acting like this. I think it's because he's my friend because she loves to disrespect my existence.

"Hey, Alexandra. How're you?" He spreads his hand for a shake. She shakes her hand with him in a formal way not how usually she did while meeting him. We both frown seeing her action.

"I think you've forgotten me, Alexandra. But no problem, this is Oliver." "Oh, nice to meet you. I see you already know my name so–"

Oliver exchanges his glance with me. I don't have any answer to defend her. The way she interacted with him in the past days, now the interaction is so cold comparing the past days behavior.

I exit the room with Oliver and spill everything. He already knows, but hearing it again confirms it.

Like everyone, at first he also didn't believe me but now he comprehends everything.

"I can't believe just for a man, she did this to you!" "You know the fool me still think she loves me whilst she only wants to make me weak by breaking my heart." He grits his teeth just listening to me.

I enter Oliver's room and find her still seated sadly. "Alexandra, don't be sad. Be happy that you're returning home with Oliver." I smile looking at her and my smile makes her face gloomier. "What happened? Are you not happy? You seem upset." "No, no, I'm really happy. It's just random thoughts come by. Do you want me to give the money to him?" "Sure, you can. I don't need your money if you say." It feels like deep inside, my proposal is hurting her a lot, but she doesn't want to say anything.

"Are you really okay with that?" I ask her again just to know if she is feeling sad for leaving me behind. All I want to hear that from her mouth. "Nothing matters now, I just want to go home." All she wants is to return to her home. I chuckle in great distress. Maybe in my whole life I've never seen such selfish existence. She spends so many days with me still her heart never cries for me.

Only if she could change her selfish attributes, only if she could leaves everything behind to choose me, maybe I wouldn't have to go through this much pain. She makes my life a living hell and still, doesn't have any regret of her sin as if ruining people's lives is her hobby. My heart starts burning like hell because of the upcoming departure but in a moment, I don't know what happened to me.

My mind is out of control, my eyes are like red blood. The heavy thought of taking revenge makes me crazy. I want to end her story here. She deserves death. She deserves to cry in hell like I'm crying now. Such a witch never deserve happiness but pain, agony and death. I want to give her death.

After watching my condition, she comes to me. Her eyes showing pity. Those eyes that never shows love isn't allowed to pity me.

"Nathaniel, what's wrong? Are you okay, dear?" As she keeps asking me questions, I put my finger on her lips indicating her to stay silent because her voice is igniting my anger even to more extent. She doesn't stop here. Holding my arms, she starts removing the sweat and tears from my face and body. I'm trying my best not to hurt her but my nerves aren't listening to me. It feels like I'm being controlled by the third party. My spirit is dying gradually. As she opens her mouth again, I spare my arm from her grip while pushing her hard against the wall hard that makes head hurt. Still, ignoring her wound she runs to me. Why I'm hurting her? I can't hurt her. I've to flee now.

Realizing the situation is getting out of hand, I come out of the pack house immediately not even saying goodbye to her. I know if I stay there for one more second, I'll kill her but my heart can't bear the aftermath so it's better to leave silently. As I run out of the house, she keeps calling me from behind. My heart is being tormented by her voice but my mind is calling me to kill her.

Oliver stops her from chasing me. I keep running away from her sound, I keep running away from her existence. I just want to hide myself and make myself believe I have never met Alexandra Rossetti. I have never met my Cruella. I leave her with Oliver, the notorious killer of the whole forest who never leaves his mission of killing undone. His butchery knows no bounds. I leave her in the awaiting danger foreseeing how cruelly he will kill her. I don't know what will happen to her but it's better than my cruelty. I won't be able to bear the pain of killing her by my hand. I thought I was born to see her smile but it's her tears I'm just watching for centuries.

My heart is still telling me to give up and go to rescue her but third party energy is winning against my heart. Before I change my heart, I call Kristen. He takes few moments to arrive. Seeing him in front of me, I hug him while placing an affectionate kiss on his forehead. Mounting in his back I order him to fly me away as soon as possible. Realizing my urgency, he doesn't waste a moment. I fly away from the jungle where I've spent some beautiful days with her, creating memories to cherish. I try to have a last glance of the forest before it disappears in the abyss.
