Chapter 7 - | Chapter Six

The kiss wasn't hurried nor forced and I was shocked enough to froze my brain from working.

How...

Why...

Why did he kiss me?

It has been too long yet he still dared!

He abruptly stopped and look into my eyes, piercing through my soul like seeking answers. He must have known that I still have deep feelings for him. It was I who loved him after all and now he's taking things to the extreme, he's using my emotions to make me submit to him.

'I will never give you the opportunity to use me, not again! especially now that you're in the side of the enemies' I swore to myself

"I've missed you" he whispered

'do you think I'll believe this lie again?' I cursed silently

"I'm sorry that I left you before, I was just too--"

"You don't have to explain things to me, the past no longer exists let's not talk of things that we don't hold ourselves accountable"

I reached for the rope at the back, tightly gripping my wrists. He surely made sure that it won't be easy for me to get out of this.

'darn it!' I cursed

"I still love you" he whispered, but I have nothing to say

This could have been a good trap and his acting skills weren't that bad. Yet, I need to steal time to get outta here but if he's in front of me then it would be very inconvenient. I need him to be busy with something so his attention would be divided. I need him to be unguarded.

My mind tells me to scan the area and look for exit options and as well and weapons that I can use through the way. Since he's in the enemy's side killing him won't be a problem I just need to steel my heart.

But what could I possibly do?

'the best weapon against the enemy is seduction' he once said it himself, now that I've remembered he needs to have a taste of his own medicine
