"Well, don't act like you care because I know you don't! You only have your eyes for your darling Elijah!"
The moment Marcel shouted out those words, Arianna stiffened and an awkward silence fell over them. It was made worse that they were sitting close to each other.
"So tell me..." Marcel finally broke the silence. He reached out and grabbed her face, but this time, he didn't hold her tightly, as if she was fragile and would break if he were rough with her, "Do you even have an atom of love for me or am I that huge of a monster?"
Arianna opened her mouth to speak but couldn't say a thing. She shouldn't feel a thing for this man, he was the one who kidnapped her and made her life miserable. But then, Marcel wasn't all that bad except that he was born into the wrong family and took on the wrong occupation.
However, Arianna was never going to tell him that because she actually pitied him and she was sure that wasn't what he wanted from him.
