Chapter 211


    Chapter 211 Lie down here


    Trapped in the past?


    I paused, my mind racing, unsure of what to say next. Was he really?


    Why?


    It was just a two–year sham of a marriage, so why was it so hard for him to let go? Was it because of


    the child we thought we would raise together, or maybe because I once saved his life, so he felt


    indebted to me?


    I took a deep breath, trying to find some peace within myself, and looked at him. “You’ll get past this.


    You’re amazing, and someday you’ll find someone you truly love. You’ll build a new life, and all this…


    it’ll just be a tiny chapter in the story of you. Maybe one day, it won’t even be worth bringing up.”


    I was not just saying it to make him feel better–I believed it. We were both young, with so much life


    ahead of us. We would find new people and start over. It was exciting, thinking about the future and


    falling for someone new. I knew he would find someone too, someone he would build a whole new


    world with.


    Then he looked at me, his gorgeous face twisting into a sneer. His grip on my shoulders tightened, and


    his voice was a low growl. “Not worth mentioning? You think our marriage was just… nothing?”


    His sudden intensity caught me off guard. I tried to step back, to get away from his grasp. The past is


    the past… Mmph!”


    His kiss came out of nowhere, fierce and overwhelming. I was pulled against him, his scent- alcohol


    and something uniquely him–filling my senses. I tried to push him off, to get some space, but he was


    not having it. He held me close, too close, and as I felt his tongue daringly explore, I thought about


    biting down and fighting back. However, before I could, he was kissing me deeper, and I was lost in the


    storm of it all.


    In the heat of the moment, it felt like he was sucking all the air out of my lungs. My mind went nk,


    and for a terrifying few seconds, I thought I was going to choke. Luckily, he was notpletely


    heartless and gave me a chance to breathe.


    The moment I gulped down some fresh air, I shoved him away with all my might.


    Bang!


    I was stunned by the sounds and quickly looked over to see Idris clutching the back of his head, his


    face twisted in pain.


    I realized toote that I’d pushed him into the door frame.


    “Are you hurt…” I started to ask him.


    He looked at his hand, the one he had on his head, and now it was in front of his eyes, smeared with


    bright red blood.


    The sight of blood made me forget my anger for a second. “You’re bleeding! Let me see, I said, pulling


    him toward me.

    I did not wait for an answer and stood on my tiptoes to check his head, but before I could get a


    Chapte


    down here


    good look, Idris, who was way taller than me, just copsed onto me.


    “Whoa…”


    I almost toppled over but managed to catch myself against the wall.


    “Idris, what’s going on? You okay?” I tapped his shoulder, but got no answer, which really freaked me


    out. I quickly got him onto the bed to check his injury.


    As soon as I got him settled, he grabbed me around the waist and yanked me down onto him. I looked


    at him lying there quietly, and my embarrassment turned into annoyance. I raised my hand to smack


    him.


    He caught my hand before it couldnd. “Chill. Just stay with me for a bit.”


    Chill?


    This guy…


    I looked down at him. His eyes were closed, and he was breathing steady, so I hesitated. Then I let out


    a small sigh and pulled my hand back. He sure acted weird when he was drunk.


    The


    guy was drop–dead gorgeous, and I found myself watching him sleep for a bit. Before I knew it, I was


    yawning too. I tried to wake him, but he was out like a light. I was tired, so I just crashed next to him,


    still in my clothes. I drifted off too.
