"She's like a book. You wouldn't understand it if you would just stare at it. When you waste just a bit of time to read it you will find thousands of words to describe it."
Chapter 96: Do you like me?
Suzue leans in the railings of the balcony of the tree house and stared at the crescent moon.
She took a deep breath and rubs her hands. It was cold, but suzue cold manage it.
She stared at the smoke coming out from her mouth whenever she blows.
Even though her body is clothed with warm coat it's still cold. But... She didn't remember feeling this kind of cold in her past life.
Winter is always been her favourite season. She could remember how the cold sticks on her body and how the frost bites her being.
But she never thought the coldness from her past life or world and the coldness of thr winter here in kronos is different.
It's much more bearable.
She stared at the falling snow and leans her cheeks on her hand.
She glance at the side when she heard footsteps coming towards her.
"You're still awake" it wasn't a question but a statement so suzue didn't bother to answer and stared back at the moon.
She felt the man stood beside her and stared shamelessly at her.
She ignore it... But she couldn't ignore the heat starting to fight back the cold on her cheeks.
She couldn't ignore unusual the beating of her heart. The nervous sweat appearing on her palms.
Pissed. She stared at the man with a frown.
"Would you stop that!" She hissed quietly.
Kai stared back at her and raises her eyebrow in amusement.
"Stop what?"
"That!"
"I don't know what you're talking about" he lied. He clearly knows.
Even though many people says the woman is hard to read, he clearly disagree at them.
She's like a book. You wouldn't understand it if you would just stare at it. When you waste just a bit of time to read it you will find thousands of words to describe it.
Beautiful, astonishing, amazing, enchanting, alluring, ravishing, heavenly, stunning, arresting, glamorous, irresistible, bewitching, beguiling, exquisite, magnificent, divine, fanciable and more.
Immersing yourself on it can pull you to fantasy out of reality where cruelty lies anywhere.
Kai is a victim of it. And couldn't find a way to disregard it. This book, no this woman is beautiful, beautiful beyond words.
Kai wants her, she's what you call his favourite. He won't let anyone have her but him. He won't let anyone get hold of her. Call him childish, unreasonable, immature.
Kai. No, Nicholas Zalkin is the oldest son and the Heir of ZTech corporation. His father is strict and stern. He made him study complicated subjects at a young age. His mother died because of him, she fought with his father a thousand of times so he could rest for a hit but it cause his father to feel displease of her and went home the next day with a mistress.
Because of this his mother died, suicide.
He has a younger brother, step younger brother an aspiring actor.
Everything he want will be given with him. He's smart, lovable, and obedient. Favored by his father and people.
He envies him.
Growing up letting the people, his brother snatch everything from him. this is the only thing he's willing to fight with. He wouldn't let anyone snatch it, snatch her.
He smiled a bit when she saw her scowl at him and return staring at the moon.
"Hey... Funny question. What do you like about me?"
Yeah she's just like a book... She surprises him every next few chapters. Laughing a bit he didn't answer.
Suzue rolls her eyes. She wasn't joking when she asked that. Yes she said it is a funny question but she didn't expect him to laugh.
Annoyed she click her tongue and closes her eyes and listens quietly at the noises of the night.
The quiet music of snow falling down with the wind dancing gracefully. The sound of the leaves rustling did a justice on the symphony the night creates.
But the harmony of the night lacks something. Suzue doesn't know about it causing her to feel displease .
Suddenly the voice of the man beside her interrupts the beautiful unfinished music.
"You're really beautiful" his warm breath hits her ear, her eyes snap open and she glance towards the man alarmed.
But then immediately calm down and grumbles on her breath.
And took a deep breath once again saw the smoke cause by her warm breath and cold air.
"Because i'm beautiful you like me? Is appearance really everything? If i'm ugly will you easily disregard me? If i disappoint you will you leave me? If i am not beautiful will you like me?"
Suzue didn't expect to feel hurt every question she asked. She didn't expect to feel tired predicting the answers that might come out from his mouth.
"If i am not beautiful will you even notice me?" She didn't know why asking that question would require a huge amount of energy.
She stared at a pair of grayish silver eyes, tiredness were seen in her eyes.
"Peyton-"
"- Nicholas. Do you even like me?"
"I don't"
His answer was quick. It's as if his mind was already set on it. It's as if he was sure of it.
It was painful. She never felt hurt in her entire existence.
She doesn't know why it hurts. She doesn't know how emotions functions. She doesn't know what love does. Doesn't know how it works.
All she knows, love is painful. It never brought satisfaction to her.
She turn around ready to leave when once again felt a hand held her wrist.
He did this before.
Held her wrist and made her feel unknown emotions and made the feelings that surges in her being chaotic.
But unlike before, this one wasn't warm. It's probably because of the cold air that winter brings, she doesn't know. But one thing she's sure of...
"I don't like you. I'm interested of you. Those are two different things peyton"
... His hands were cold...
"It doesn't change anything"
... so does his words.
"Peyton-"
"-Goodnyt Kai"
