CH.8- Confessions Of Her Sin(1)

Such a question left his mouth and reached into my ears that it felt funny. Where's he got the guts to ask me that question?

What should I do? I was confused, but then suddenly, I...

I scoffed "What do you have to do with whether I love him or not? But if I have married a beast like you to save his life, then there will be a special feeling for him in my heart... Isn't it?" 

I smirked and said while looking into his emotionless eyes. 

As I said it, I felt as if his eyes flashed with jealousy, but I think it was my delusion, he never loved me, even for a second that he would feel jealous by my words. Like him, his love was just a lie.

After hearing my answer he turned his back to me and said "When his hands will be treated, you can go and meet him. Remember it, you don't have much time."

Saying it he headed upstairs. I remained alone there. After a while, the men who took Victor to that room came out and one of them respectfully said to me "You can meet him now."

Ignoring them I went in, now I and Victor were alone in the room. His limb was still tied to the wooden chair and the piece of cloth was still in his mouth. 

At least his wounded had a thick bandage now.

I went close to him and pulled out the cloth from his mouth, as it was pulled out he erupted "Why did you do this, why married that psycho?! You didn't need to sacrifice yourself to save my life!! Do you know how heavy a burden has come on my heart because of you? It would have been better if he had killed me!!" 

I felt touched by his yelling words yet burdensome, he didn't know that he was caught in this mess because of me.

So it was my responsibility to get him out of this trouble and send him away safely.

l held his head and put my forehead on his that we both felt each other's warm breath.

"I'm sorry, you got caught in our fight and you had to suffer." 

He halted, a perplexity appeared and replaced his anger, he slowly asked, "What do you mean, your fight? Y-you know him?"

I lowered my head to avoid his eyes and started untying his hand while slowly nodding, and giving him the answer.

"Hmm, his name is Aaron Smith," I continued 

untying him.

He thought for a while, then I heard the sounded of his teeth-gnashing and felt his anger aura, he slowly asked.

"Isn't this the same man who tried to assault you 12 years ago and for that he had to go to jail?!"

I halted, I couldn't understand what to tell him? I just slightly nodded and continued untying him.

The hollow silence spread all over the room, even each other's breathing sounds of inhaling and exhaling could hear clearly. I knew, what he was thinking right at this moment.

I had already untied Victor's hands and legs, I lifted my head and saw him. 

After getting my answer, he looked stunned and also angry, the vein of his forehead twirled dangerously. He clenched his pearly teeth so that the gnashing sound couldn't be invisible to my ears. 

After knowing about Aaron's real identity, he became more aggressive. The pressure of his fingers was beyond my tolerance, which held me. I knew it left a deep mark. 

He shook me vigorously before pulling me in front of him, looking into my eyes he tried to pursue me. 

"Then you shouldn't have married him at all!..."

He diverted his gaze at his bandaged hand, then he auctioned it in front of me "Just by looking at it, you can imagine how dangerous he is?!"

Suddenly his animosity expression changed into apprehensive. He wavered for a moment as if he discerned something. 

He threw a question at me which was wrapped into concern "He has come here to take revenge on you that because of you, he went to jail many years ago?"

My hands balled into tight fists that fingernails pierced and kissed my flesh. A great burden that was on my heart became even heavy.  I felt suffocating under this burden.

A few seconds later, reluctantly, I nodded after inhaling a deep breath.

My nod ignited the spark of his anger, which fueled his anger, he gritted his teeth and stood up "Bastard!!" His shout was no less than the roar of a lion.

"After doing such a lousy deed many years ago, for what right has he come to take revenge on you? If he had not done such a thing to you, then what is the need for you to send him to jail?... I will kill him!!" Saying it he rushed toward the door.

His word stunned me. We both were in his territory, I couldn't let him act recklessly or that bastard would swallow him, and for it, he was waiting for a slight excuse.

I had to stop him. Before he reached the door, I ran and hugged him from behind and started begging "Please, please, please don't go to him! I don't want anything to happen to you, he's so dangerous!" 

He halted, I knew that his halt wasn't by my force, but by my plea. 

He turned back and looked at me disappointedly "I'm not that weak, as you are thinking of me." His whispered sounds were hurtful.

He rolled down his gaze at the floor and muttered "He was able to catch me because he sneakily tricked us otherwise I had his head on my feet!"

How could a man tolerate that the woman whom he loved compared his strength with other men, especially his love rival? So definitely my warning and hindering words had hurt him a lot.
