Marry The Devil
Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Chapter 34

~Francis’ POV

I was ready, completely ready to make Mala mine as my fingers gently explored her body.

I was willing to let myself go....I was ready to leave myself in her hands and let her do whatever she wanted with me.

I was willing to let go of my title as a king. At that point, I just wanted the woman that I wanted to feel my breath and feel me inside of her.

It was my first time, so I wanted to make it worth it.

I kissed Mala, but something felt off. Her kiss didn’t have the usual hunger and anticipation that it always had. She didn’t kiss me like she always did.... but then I conclude, maybe she was nervous.

From the books that I had read, women had feelings....and it would be completely wrong if I tried to force her into the moment. I wrapped my hands around here trying to slowly get her to feel what I felt. The pleasure, the burning sensation, the unending desire and the hunger.

I decided to keep kissing her, thinking she would later give into the pleasure, but instead of leaving everything the way they were, Mala chose to ruin everything by taking off the blindfold.

And ...she looked into my eyes.

The pain was sharper than ever. It seemed as if hot coal had been thrown into my eyes and I was forced to keep them open.

I immediately pushed her....even though I didn’t mean to.

I groaned and yelled in pain. My eyes widened as Mala’s body hit the wall, releasing a loud thud she groaned. Before I could do anything, our eyes met again and the pain was.... Unbearable.

"Stop looking into my eyes!" I sneered, unable to get a hold of my emotion. I didn’t know what had gotten into me.

Mala just shouldn’t have tried to look into my eyes in the first place.

Finally, the pain was gone and I heard Mala’s silent sobbing. My heart raced faster than ever. And maybe it ached. I didn’t want to make her cry.... I never intended to.

I still couldn’t believe that I had thrown her against the wall. I closed my eyes and slowly turned. "Mala, I can explain," I said even though I actually didn’t know where to start from.

There was no way I would tell her the truth. There was no way I would tell Mala that I was going to kill her after a few moons.

"Mala, please,listen to me," I begged, trying to reach out to her.

I had no idea what I was doing...but the last thing I wanted was for Mala to find out the truth.

I doubted that she would ever forgive me. I preferred the way things were, when I was the only one worrying about the guilt and this beautiful woman didn’t have to live with the fear.

Mala stretched out her hand, not to hold me but to keep me from coming close to her.

"Queen Venessa was right," she mouthed shakily and my heart hit my chest. I knew it. Mala wasn’t the type to do something that stupid. That witch already filled her head with words.

"Mala.... listen to me. I am the one you should listen to," I said, still trying to reach her, but Mala swiftly moved away from me, breathing heavily like I was some sort of monster.

"Don’t come to me ...don’t touch me," Mala cried.

"Mala," I called, my heart aching at every step she took away from me.

"I should never have listened to you in the first place. I never have trusted you," she sobbed. Mala’s voice was filled with pain and resentment towards me.

"Mala ..where is all of this coming from!" I shouted, pained as well but instead of Mala understanding me, she flinched and trembled at the sound of my voice.

"Please....stay away from me!" She cried. "What was I thinking? What was I thinking? What exactly was I thinking.....I can’t believe I thought I would ever be loved by you. I can’t believe I trusted you. I can’t believe that I was willing to give my whole life to you...I can’t believe that ..that I loved you," she cried and I fell to the ground.

It felt like my legs couldn’t hold the weight of my body.

"Tell me why you lied to me," Mala requested. Her voice was weak but there was nothing I could say. There was no way I would tell her the truth.

"Are you really going to kill me?" Mala asked and I raised my head. Silent as guilt hit me like a rock. I sat there, frozen, unable to say yes ...unable to say no. It was the truth but I couldn’t admit it.

"Tell me why, Francis. Tell me if you truly want to do it or not. Tell me if that’s what you think about anytime you see me. Tell me whether it’s the only thing that crosses your mind. Let me know Francis! Let me know if everything you told is a lie or not. Tell me it all isn’t true, Francis! Tell me that Queen Venessa is a liar! Tell me that you love me!" She cried endlessly.

Like a maniac that I was, all I could do was sit not utter a word. She was right. Everytime we met, it would only cross my mind that I have to kill her.

I stood up. ...completely broken. "I’m sorry, Mala," I said before vanishing. I just needed some time away from everything.

Since she hated me already and she already knew that I was going to kill her, I gave her the chance to run. The chance to run away from me completely and never come back. I gave Mala the chance to live a life without me, where she would find a man that truly loved her.

Mala deserved a lot more better than a devil like me.

I preferred dying from my endless need for her, than to hurt her one more time.

~Francis’s POV ends**

*****

~Mala’s POV

Francis was nowhere to be found. Leaving me with all my questions, Francis vanished, leaving me all by myself. The loneliness felt so loud, so sharp that it could pierce through my skin.

All that I wanted was an answer. All I wanted was for Francis to tell me that he loved me but he left without saying anything. Leaving me hanging on the edge without an answer.

"Francis..." I called, crying. "Francis!" I called again, but this time I screamed, calling out his name as loud as I could. All I wanted was answers. I couldn’t handle the curiosity. It was definitely going to end me so I rushed out of the room.

It seemed as if Queen Venessa had answers. Maybe if I begged her well enough, she would tell me the truth. And if they told me ... .I might be able to figure things out and find out whether or not Francis truly loved me.

I roamed around the palace, in search of the woman and my greatest fear was finding out that Francis didn’t love me.

I searched everywhere but the woman was nowhere to be found but finally I found her in the palace garden, sitting on a bench next to the flowers with the finest scent.

"Queen Venessa!" I called, running towards her with tears streaming down my eyes.

Without turning to look at me, she chuckled. "I warned you about the pretty man, didn’t I?" She asked

"Tell me the truth. Tell me everything," I cried and she smiled at me.

"There is nothing else that’s left for you to know, Mala," she answered and I went to hold her hand.

"Tell me everything! Why does he have to kill me! Tell me whether or not Francis loves me! I know....I know he can’t be fooling me for that long! Everything felt so real!" I cried and I fell to the ground.

Queen Venessa held my hand and tucked my hair behind my ear. "There is nothing left for you to know, Mala. You know everything that you need to know already. You have seen it all," she said.

I shook my head. "I haven’t. I haven’t. I haven’t found answers yet. I don’t know why he has to kill me. Francis isn’t that kind of person. I asked him whether or not he still loved me but he left without saying anything to me."

"Give me your hand Mala," she said and I gave her my other hand.

She stared into my palm. "You know already, but you have refused to admit it. Francis doesn’t love you. He never will. He’s nothing but a beast and that’s what he’ll remain."

She wrote on my palm and I started to feel dizzy. I couldn’t talk anymore and it felt so hard to keep my eyes open.

What was she doing?

As much as I tried to speak, I couldn’t. All I could see was her smile. "Don’t worry Mala. Since you can’t make decisions for yourself, then I’ll make them for you."
