Chapter 391 Opposite

Silence enveloped the room as Zeke just stared at her for a long while.

"I can"t tell you," was his reply and he turned his back from her. "You will eventually find out in the near future."

"Wait," she called out but Zeke still left, not giving her any chance to stop him. What did he mean by that?

Abi could only close her eyes and shake her head. There was no use thinking about why Zeke had done things that way. Only he knew the reasons and if he wasn"t willing to explain anything, then she would just have to wait. He was just too complicated for her and she didn"t want to waste any more brain cells on him. She would concentrate instead on Alex, even if she was curious.

Letting out a sigh, she stared at Alex"s unconscious figure. She sat right next to him. As she looked at him, she couldn"t help but touch his face and push his hair back away from his face until she finally laid herself down next to him.

Her mind was filled with thoughts about what she should do, about what the best way was for her to tell him the truth. She needed to tell him the truth. She didn"t know if it would bring his memories back but it was worth a try because right then, she really had no other ideas. She didn"t know what else to do. She had given herself to him, she had made love to him and told him she loved him. She had pushed him, tortured him in her own way and he had even gone berserk to the point that he nearly strangled her but none of that seemed to work.

She closed her eyes and thought of all the experiences she had gone through with Alex, of everything he had done for her, like she was watching their very own movie, and she was reminded yet again of how he always went above and beyond for her.

Time pa.s.sed and Abigail eventually rose from the bed suddenly. She looked like a light bulb had appeared above her head and the look in her eyes changed. Determination burned fiercely in them and she grabbed her phone, sending Zeke a message.

After a while, she heard the ping she was waiting for. She grabbed her phone and the moment she read it, she kissed Alex"s forehead softly before she left the room.

Abi was then approached by a tall vampire with dark chocolate brown hair. He had the air of a powerful man but not to the same extent as Alex and Zeke seemed to emit. If Alex was a majestic king and Zeke was a powerful prince, this man was a strong general. Although he wasn"t wearing a royal guard uniform, he was wearing an all black s.h.i.+rt and moss colored military inspired pants with lots of pockets which reminded her of the army.

She had been expecting a butler to escort her so she hadn"t expected that Zeke would send a man like this instead.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Abigail. My name is Raven and I will be the one to escort you today," he politely introduced himself. He was polite and despite his deep voice and somewhat somber appearance, she didn"t feel intimidated. Well, to anyone else he might seem scary and tough but having spent enough time around the two most powerful and intense men in the world, Abi had become immune to being affected by other powerful men"s presence.

"Nice to meet you, Raven," was all she could reply and the man led her to a room where she had requested to be brought.

…

The sky was starting to be painted with different shades of red but Alex still hadn"t woken up yet. Abi was back in his room to check up on him and she was surprised to see that he was still asleep. She remembered that he only slept for a few hours last time and Abi instantly felt a little worried. However, she forced herself to stop thinking those negative thoughts.

She also didn"t see Zeke again after he left earlier and she was curious about what he was up to. She also wanted to check on Alicia but the dungeon was quite far from Alex"s room and she didn"t want to leave Alex"s side in case something else happened.

Thus, she decided to have a bath while Alex was still asleep. She spent quite a while inside the bathroom to soothe her tensed muscles and to just let her mind relax, even if it was only for a little while.

She emerged from the bathroom, already dressed. Her hair was damp and her cheeks pinkish for the heat of the bath water and she was using a towel to dry her hair.

The moment she looked towards the bed, their eyes met. Alex was already awake and he was sitting there, leaning his elbow on top of his folded knee. His hair was disheveled but that didn"t make him even a little less attractive. It did the complete opposite.

"You"re awake!" Abi quickly approached him, leaning down to cup his face. "Are you okay? Feeling better?"

A smile curved on Alex"s lips as his forefinger tapped the skin between her brows as if to flatten the deep lines that appeared between them.

"Stop frowning like an old granny, little lamb. I am feeling extremely fine," he said. "I just need a shower to wake up my still hibernating nerves," he added and he got up off the bed.

He grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him. "You should"ve waited for me, little lamb, so we could"ve taken a bath together," he whispered before he let go of her with a mischievous smile. "How about you join me again?"

"I have already had my relaxing bath, thank you. I will wait here for you instead, Alex," she refused him and gladly, the man didn"t tease her anymore.

He just suddenly planted a kiss on her lips before he walked towards the bathroom.
