"Of course it's not yours, but why do you have it. What have you done to make Asbeel give it to you" she asked leaving her hand with a jerk. His face has a frown and her eyes were still narrowed on the ring. Then slowly she mover her gaze to her face. " Tell me why Asbeel gave the ring to you." Her sharp gaze left goosebumps on her body. She felt like many snakes were crawling over her body. All the hairs on her skin stood up. She shivered. How can only a gaze could create such an effect?
What she didn't know that the witch is fighting with all the energy she has to have that impact on her. She has utilized her core which is forbidden unless there is an emergency.
"He didn't give it to me" but before she could explain further she was cut in midway.
"That's not possible, you can't wear the ring unless he gives it to you willingly" 'otherwise, why would he still have the ring, someone would have stolen it already. Or at least she would have snatched it from her fingers already. If not given willingly, the ring will burn the one who will use the force on it. No matter how powerful the being is'
She squinted her eyes at her, she was about to hold her hand but she stood up creating the distance between them. Then sat at the other end looking around, trying to find someone. She smirked looking at her reaction. She is behaving like a rabbit in the wolf den waiting for the lion to come and save her.
She chuckled at her thought but then the rabbit drank water for her parched mouth and spoke again "I mean, he hasn't given me the ring permanently, I am wearing it tonight. He said my empty fingers didn't look good. And this ring will look good in my dress. So he gave it to me. I've denied many times but he didn't listen. I never mean to wear his ring in my ring finger."
"Huh" her eyes widened for the first time in the night. She looked again at her hand. That's right she is wearing the ring in her ring finger, the finger that goes to her heart. She wasn't full to think Asbeel wants to marry her.
Then why, why did he want to cover her heart. She was lost in her deep thoughts now. Forgetting the existence of the girl who was again confused looking at her.
Honestly, Angela failed to understand the woman sitting with her, no doubt she is beautiful her ethereal eyes are mystifying. And her arrogance and boldness only increase her sexiness. The way she has dressed should look vulgar but her confidence gave it a top-notch touch of elegance.
But her train of thoughts is different. For a moment she was angry that she has taken her place and came her with Asbeel. Then forgetting about him completely her whole body struck on the ring. She thought maybe she is so fucked up about the ring because she thought they have any engagement or he proposed her. Because the ring was in her ring finger.
But now looking at her confusion and widened eyes, she realised that she never noticed the finger where the ring is. Her whole focus was on the ring. Sure the ring was rare, but so as her earrings. Or other jewellery and dress. That's what the stylist has told her.
Then why does she only care about the ring? Is it because she thinks the ring is given by Asbeel. While other things can be her own. But Asbeel is rich enough to gift rings. Why did she even forget about his coming with her in front of the ring?
She looked at the ring with confused eyes. KS this ring so precious. The ring is attractive. But isn't her reaction a bit overwhelming?
Like a bulb has finally lit, she stood up and left, leaving bewildered Angela behind.
There he stood in the dark. Looking at her with an amused face. Like he enjoyed the show which they put for his entertainment. When she came close, he hugged her and asked: "I thought your jealousy took a toll on your brain but looks like you are still smart."
She was surprised to hear what he said, she widened her eyes that mean, " you were watching everything. Was it a test for me or just for your amusement" she asked punching him on his stomach.
He shrugged his shoulders and looked around "what can I say, maybe both" and gave her a mischievous smile.
She glared him with a pout, "you ditched me, and still has the nerves to joke with me" , then her voice turned serious, she looked back where Angela was sitting "but why do you want to hide her aura. What is she?"
"She is what she looks." He replied after a pause.
"But if she is a human, then why is she wearing your ring," she asked confused.
Asbeel smiled, she is wearing the ring to hide herself. I don't want anyone to know she is living with you." He replied looking at other direction. He didn't lie to her, technically he didn't. He said she is what she looks and truth to be told, she does look like an angel and he is hiding her not only her aura.
"Why is she living with you?" This statement made her felt more bitter than the moment she saw him with the girl, or when she saw the ring in her fingers.
Asbeel has never taken any girl to her house. Not in a century at least. He lives with that grim reaper only. Not even a maid has been hired.
