𝑬𝒚𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏.

I ordered when Tracy came to my room to give me my lunch,

Corvina Cory / fl

𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒆.

I had a book in my hands that I was reading as I sat by the window to get some sunlight. I had shut her down the moment she started glaring at me.

She lowered her eyes as she placed the food tray down on the table in front of me.

Tracy / fl maid

𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆?

She pursed her lips after asking. Must be hurting her pride that she actually has to do her job.

Corvina Cory / fl

𝑵𝒐, 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆.

I put the book down

Corvina Cory / fl

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒚.

Tracy / fl maid

𝒀𝒆𝒔.

She turned around and left. But not before she turned and glared at Hael who stood by the door. She whispered something to him but I couldn't hear what she said since the door was on the other end of the room.

Hael stood unfazed which seemed to make Tracy's mood turn foul. She didn't do anything there, she glanced at me and saw me looking at them, so she just left.

I moved my face away the moment she closed the door behind her and started eating. I've been ignoring Hael since 'that' night but he has been pretty persistent. He still comes to my room and does the small tasks he used to in the past but he's been staring at me awfully a lot.

I put the food in my mouth trying to ignore it but the intensity of his gaze was something that one couldn't easily ignore. Why? Is he curious that I didn't punish him but punished Tracy instead?

I chewed my food slowly and looked out the window.

Well, that is understandable.

The last two years of my life, I spent them constantly torturing Hael. I kept using the gemstone on him each time I heard he was with some woman.

In my past life, I didn't see him literally sleeping with someone like I did now. But I believed the words that made their way to me, because they came with proof. The biggest one being that Hael never said he didn't do it. When I asked him about it, he would just keep his mouth shut. I recalled a few times that it happened. I always made a public specter of it.

Corvina Cory / fl

....

Hmmm?

When did I start asking him about it though? I didn't do that from the start... Did I? I can't really remember.

I turned my face around to look at him

!!!

He still had his eyes on me even though he was tidying my bed.

Oh Gosh!

Corvina Cory / fl

𝑯𝒂𝒆𝒍!

I called out to him in a panic

Hael Helio / ml

𝒀𝒆𝒔, 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚.

He immediately walked over

Oh, shit

I didn't utter a word to him for the past few days and now it just slipped out. Great. Hael seemed happy though. His unamused look had finally broken after I called him out.

Corvina Cory / fl

𝑻𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘'𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚.

Hael Helio / ml

𝒀𝒆𝒔, 𝑰𝒕 𝒊𝒔.

Corvina Cory / fl

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆?

I honestly had no idea what else to talk about. Although, asking this question did send a wave of dread down my spine. It was a similar question to what I said right before I turned eighteen.

And the next day was hell. There was so much blood on the first floor, with corpses everywhere.

I felt nauseous and had to look away.

And in the middle of it all, was Hael. My skin stood up and my stomach knotted.

Hael Helio / ml

𝑨𝒉..

Hael Helio / ml

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑴𝒚 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚?

His question made me come back to reality

There was a soft moment of relief when I looked at his face again.

Right

The time I have left may have reduced, but I still had exactly two years left before the tragedy.

I looked down at the food plate and poked the vegetables
