Chapter 290: Don't go

"I'm a monster," she whispered, raising her eyes ever so slowly to meet those pair of dangerous deep red. "I was scared, Abel... I was terrified."

"Come here, darling."

"No." Aries shook her head profusely, taking a step back on instinct. "I will hurt you."

"You can't hurt me."

"I can!" Her breath hitched. "I'm holding a knife. I will stab you." 

Abel's eyes veered to her hand that was clutching her bicep and caught the knife in between. "That won't kill me, darling."

"It won't, but it will hurt you!" Aries raised her voice, not caring if someone else would hear her. She took several steps back when he took a step, shaking her head.

"I just want to see you and ask if you came to me." She started pacing, biting her thumb, unknowingly pointing the knife right at her chest. "So, did you come to me? Did you find me? Abel?"

Aries perked up and set her eyes back to him. Her brows rose as she waited for his answer.
