章節 18: First Limit
"No," Liliana replied after a long stare. Tristan was a mysterious man and always erratically does things.
Now, she recalled earlier about what he asked for when he appeared naked in her room. 'Can I sleep with you?' That question was a good enough reason to refuse to play cards with him. Liliana felt blessed and ecstatic that she was gradually getting to know the type of person he was.
Liliana walked away and lay in bed. "Leave my room, Tristan," she told him in a gentle calm voice, she knew what he aimed for. Tristan had harassed her times without numbers and now maybe the next level of his sexual harassment.
Tristan stared at her now on his feet, why her sudden behavioral change? He didn't leave as he told him to because it was sudden. Her mood wasn't like that a while ago, what happened?
Liliana felt his gaze still on her as she forcefully close her eyes, so she opened her eyes and saw that his eyes were really on her. What wandered in her mind was that he was ready to apologize. "Do you have anything to say?" She asked still lying in bed.
Tristan smirked. "Say...Like?" His brows arched.
Lilliana sat up. "Something...related to what happened on the night of the explosion," she gave him a hint of what she wanted from him.
Tristan smirked that smile. "I don't have anything to say about that night because..."
"Leave my room, Tristan, I never called you here and it isn't the house you paid for so you have no right to hurt me again," Liliana lost it, so he didn't feel a bit sorry about what he did to her. She thought he was different and had a good side in him. She thought wrong about him.
Tristan teleported back to his room fuming too. Lilliana's jaw clenched and she slapped her bed in anger. He didn't feel bad for hurting her. He was a jerk!
Tristan returned to her room again. "I'm not apologizing to you because you caused it to yourself."
Liliana glared at him for the first time, she wasn't frightened by his sudden appearance because she somehow felt he'd come back. Her gaze said a lot apart from reading her mind. "I regret ever caring for you and that won't happen again," she said sounding more like a promise and would be adamant about her decision.
"Why did you save that woman? It was none of your business."
"How wasn't it my business? She was about to..." She then realized it. "You wanted to kill her," she said in disbelief.
"She offended me so she deserves death."
Liliana was shocked for a while and then her thoughts drifted to her gas pipeline. Did Tristan try to kill her too? Was that how much he hated her? Oh! That explained how he knew about the gas and saved her.
Liliana was left dumbstruck. She peered at her neighbor still in shock. Why did he want her to die in the first place? She had done nothing bad to him. She cared for him, look out for him, and was exceptionally friendly to him and all he could do to repay her was to kill her! Liliana couldn't believe it, tremors of fear, disbelief, regrets, and pain suffused her and she was not able to take it all.
Suddenly, her eyes turned teary but she wiped her tears and glanced up at him. "She offended you and she deserves death? What did she do to you?" She sighed the sigh of tiredness and pain which filled her heart and made it heavy. "What did I do to you?" She asked with her eyes bubbling in tears.
Tristan turned mute and could only stare at his teary landlady. She already knew that he planned to kill her. How was he going to lie to her? And he didn't want to kiss her, by removing her memory. It would affect him more than it would to her. So, that wasn't an option at all.
Liliana got upset with his guilty gaze on her, she could see in his eyes that he regretted what he did but didn't want to admit and apologize, he also didn't want to feel that way about her. He wanted to feel that he did the right thing by hurting her all over. With clenched jaws and a hardened heart for a short period, she was going to be upset with him, Liliana stood up and pushed him by his chest. "Leave my room, Tristan, I don't want you here!" She yelled at him.
The vile Tristan's mood changed when she pushed him by the chest, he then took her hands and pushed her to the wall. "Don't make me angry," he said more like a warning, evident in his voice that sounded like the devil, full of hatred and no remorse.
Liliana was already disgusted by him, whatever he does now didn't affect her that much because right now she expected nothing from him. He was just the jerk she had thought him to be.
Liliana pushed him off with extreme force. "What will you do if I get you angry?" She confronted the devil himself. "Kill me? Or harass me, C'mon neighbor, I'm not new to that, you've hurt me a lot and I'm used to that so making you angry doesn't scare me anymore." Liliana honestly didn't know where all this gut and adrenaline rushed out from. She wasn't a girl to confront anyone, instead, she'll lower her head in tears. Maybe the fact that he wanted and attempt to kill her made her this way. Pissed, disappointed, hurt, and angry!
The Tristan she cared for so much, the neighbor she showered with love and care, she showed him kindness, love, and affection returned her affectionate attitude towards him with hatred and he planned to kill her. For heaven's sake! What had she done wrong to him? Was it a crime to show love to others?
Tristan wasn't surprised, the limits were here, he planned to kill her and now that she knew about it, he was disheartened, now she hated him. And why does it affects him so much? He never cared and will never care.
"Still, you are to fear me, Liliana, you don't know who you are messing with..."
Liliana laughed though she was crying. "You've planned to kill me and...not just me, the food seller, now I wonder how many people you must have killed."
This was it, Tristan had seen another side of her.
"What's the worse you can do, sorcerer?" She asked him with the rim of her eyes red from crying.
Tristan was frozen and left dumbstruck. "The worse you can do is torture me and in the end kill me," she paused as if in thoughts. "Isn't it?" Liliana yelled. She still couldn't get the thought of him trying to kill her out of her depressed mind.
"But I didn't kill you Liliana, I..." His voice caused chaos even though it wasn't that of the devil's, it caused rage and she turned her red teary eyes his way.
"Leave my room," Liliana said gently. "I said leave my room, Tristan, get out!" She wailed at the top of her lungs.
Tristan listened after her lament and teleported or maybe turned invisible. He then saw how much pain he caused her as she fell to the ground crying out loud, her tears were streaming like a cascade of water down her cheeks.
He had killed so many, countless people but why does hurting Liliana caused him more pain? This feeling reminded him of the pain he caused his mother before taking her life. Just as it hurt then, it does now. For some reason he didn't understand, he wanted to go to Liliana and say he was sorry and wouldn't hurt her again, but he couldn't assure himself that he wouldn't hurt her again, with his complicated yet mischievous life, he couldn't even assure himself that he wouldn't try to kill her again because she was apparently destruction to him and might totally destroy him.
Finally, he left for his room leaving his Landlady who was swallowed up in tears to cry as much as she wanted to.
