Chapter 318

• His tone was monotone, like he did not want to talk about the bandages around his hands. I blinked at him, wondering why he never talks about things that hurt him, it had hurt him. He seemed so deep, and emotionally shut off, but I remembered when he had accidentally let me see the degree of pain in his eyes when he was low back at the bachelor pad. I had been thrown off track by what I saw in those painfully beautiful dark eyes.
• Those same eyes that were now shuttered, and staring at me with no emotion. My soul ached to understand him. I loved him, and I wanted to grow closer to him and understand the mysteries of his dark, smart mind. But he only seemed to push me further away. And I was told he had got a serious psychological meltdown a few months ago when Cora was nearly killed. And that’s why he left. Now he’s back… but was he okay? Or did he just shove the problem deep inside himself and trapped it in there with a cold exterior?
• He only seemed to come back colder than usual. I ached for his shockingly beautiful smile again. That playful and extremely flirty side of him that I had met back at the pad… they seemed to be gone forever. And the only Adonis I could see, was the dark, deadly one. And I was still hopelessly in love with all the dark and deadly.
