Bab 92: Book 1 : Chapter 92 Time Up

December 20th

Hestia's POV

"3... 2... 1... and the 48 hours is up," the formidable man in front of me said as the devious smirk he'd worn for hours refused to move, "but Achilles is nowhere to be seen. How heart-wrenching it is to see such a young and pretty life wasted," he added with a pout.

"Do you find this entertaining?" I asked as a tear ran down my cheek.

He looked down at me and let out a short laugh.

"Sweetheart, going to the movies is entertaining," he said, taking his back off the wall and slowly approaching me. "This is exhilarating."

"You're a repulsive man," I spat, trying again to break free from the tight ropes around my wrists.

He crouched down to my level and placed his harsh hands on my cheek.

"The other man warned you not to touch me," I hissed, turning my face away from him.

In retaliation, he grabbed my neck in his huge hand and jolted it painfully back so that his warm breath was once again on my skin.
