Free Web NovelChapter 225: Calling The Fiend
"Hello!"
The fear reared its ugly head as soon as Skyla heard his coarse voice. Her hands shook and sweat trickled down her spine but she kept herself steady and injected confidence in her voice before answering him.
"You should be ashamed of yourself. How low will you fall, Doran?"
It was her, self-satisfaction crept up on his face curving up his non-existent lips.
"My lovely wife has finally decided to call me."
His words flared up Skyla’s temper. How dare he call her his wife when they were long divorced and she was already engaged to someone else?
"I am not your wife, Mr Blackthorn. Show some respect, although I can imagine it’s not your forte," she blasted at him, shaking in anger at his coy tactics. It disgusted her to the core.
"So formal. How may I help you?" Sarcasm dripped from his voice.
"Stop interfering in our lives, stop attacking our home and stop feeding the media. Stay away from us. You couldn’t let it go, could you? The revenge had drowned you." The sternness in her voice only widened his smile, although a pang of disappointment pricked his heart hearing she still didn’t wish to leave him.
"I am not sure what you are inferring Miss Skyla. Let me refresh your memory. I have been in jail for the past six months because of the false charges you brought against me. I have just been released and only getting my life back on track. As much as I would love to have you back after everything you did to me, I have no clue what you are talking about."
Doran was smart enough to know that Skyla might be recording the call and he was very careful with the usage of words.
"You know exactly what I am talking about. Don’t play dumb, did you forget the message you sent me last night or are you going to deny that as well?" She fumed, trying to keep her voice from rising. While Zyair brought out the best in her, Doran brought out the worst.
"I have no clue which message you are referring to. I don’t even have your number, you are still calling me anonymously. Do you have proof?" He evilly smirked, knowing too well that the message was erased.
Skyla felt like pulling her hair at that point. She was using the anonymous calling facility her SIM company offered, no way she wanted Doran to have her number.
"I am warning you, Mr Blackthorn, after the stunt you have pulled I will not rest in peace until I bring you to justice and unveil all your lies. And when I am done with you, I won’t even feel sorry. I had moved on and left you in the past but you chose to hurt Zyair. I can never forgive you for that."
Hearing Zyair’s name from her mouth had his anger spiking as well. How he wished to rip that man apart and frisk Skyla away. But he kept his anger at bay, bottling it up for now and answered in a ragged calm voice. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Of course, the man you cheated me on with. The man you are fucking now. How does it feel to know that he is nothing but a sewer rat who has fucked countless women? He has no class, I don’t even know how he raised himself to this position but he doesn’t deserve it and he doesn’t deserve you. Come back to me Skyla, I will welcome you back with open arms."
Rage roared in her ears and all she could think and feel was every moment of pain this man had given her and now he was doing the same to the man she loved. Her free hand clenched so tight that her sharp nails dug into her soft skin.
"I never cheated on you but whatever helps you sleep and he is a million times the man you can ever be. Not in this lifetime or the many others you will be born in can you match him or will I ever return to you. So do yourself a favour and stop chasing us. Because this time if Zyair came for you the consequences will not be in your favour."
She cut the call after that, her heart was hammering so loudly against her ribcage, the panic attack she experienced blew out in full proportion and she couldn’t breathe. Her hand clutched her chest as she took in huge gulps of air trying to pacify her bleeding heart.
Any peace they had brought in their lives was wretched away as soon as this man had stepped back into them. She was so lost that she didn’t realise when Zyair entered the room.
"Sky?" Zyair’s confused voice had her abruptly turning. He was standing in the doorway, worries clouded his eyes, and his brows were knitted together.
Skyla collected herself and faked a smile before turning to face him. She wasn’t sure if he heard any of her conversation or when he had arrived but she hoped he hadn’t.
"Hey! I was just coming to bed." She took tentative quiet steps towards him.
"Who were you talking to?" He asked with concern as she drew near and placed her hand on his chest, so both of them could ease and she could formulate a proper reply.
"No one important, come let’s go to bed. Tomorrow, it’s going to be a tough day." She intertwined her fingers with his while rubbing his chest with her other hand.
"I woke up and you weren’t there, I came looking for you and saw you clutching your phone and taking deep breaths. Did anyone bother you?"
Even in this situation he was worried about her, his hands went around her waist pulling her to him. She went willingly, letting herself collide with his warm body, which never failed to calm her down.
"It’s nothing I can’t handle. Don’t worry about me, Zyair." She began to lead him towards their bedroom as she had reeled in all her emotions and put on a bold front just for him.
"How can I not? I know you are planning something and you are hiding it from me, thinking I am in a fragile state. I won’t forgive myself if something happens to you while you are trying to protect me." He went along with her but his heart wouldn’t ease, he could sense this uneasiness in her.
They had reached the bedroom and Skyla climbed in bed, sitting with her back pressed to the bed rest and opened her arms, inviting him in. He slowly went to her, laying down with his head on her squishy chest, closing his eyes, the wrinkles on his forehead slightly lessened as her fingertips traced them. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Nothing will happen to me as long as I am with you but people are done hurting us, Zy and I are done getting hurt. It’s time to fight back with all we have and put them in their place."
Zyair lifted his eyelids to glance at her determined face while she sat still and stared ahead into nothingness but that new found viciousness in her eyes was something very new for him.
