BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - Broken
[ RECOMMENDED SONG:
Apple Juice By Jessie Reyez ]
Voice of love: Ain\'t \'Goodbye\' just a word but why does it felt heavy than stone? ~Unknown
Jessie\'s lips trembled together to suppress her rage or pain that was still questionable. She peered through her heavy eyelids at his evil charasmatic face. The man didn\'t change in years. His hairs had grown darker than before and those few white layers on his left side had enchanted his handsome face more. The hint of ferociousness in his eyes were still evident but somehow it had a slight hint of emotions today too hard to read or predict. His usual playful smirk was playing on his lips as if he still enjoyed to capture his prey as before the way he captured her heart once upon a time.
Jessie controlled her emotions by force and spoke with disgust lacing out from her voice,
" It\'s you!!!!! I should have known that you aren\'t worthy of being trusted. Today, you have really proved that you can do anything for your own motives."
Prince Shanz, the second Prince and acting king of DAVINA who took over the throne after the execution of his elder brother. To become the legal king of DAVINA, he needed approval from Isabella which had never happened. Furthermore if Isabella managed to successfully give birth to a son, the throne would be automatically passing to her son according to the will of her husband made for them. But Shanz never stopped hating the Royal family of Basarisk especially Cedric who had personally arranged the execution of his brother. Thus he was desperate to erase the name of Dixon Clan from this world. Not even that, he never wanted Isabella to give birth successfully since she had the bloodline of Dixon and a legit Princess of Basarisk.
Shanz cracked into a hilarious laughter and took a long puff from his cigar. Blowing out through his hard lips, he replied to Jessie with a shrug,
" Since that you know already about me and my character, cooperate my dear ex."
Jessie growled threatening him to take back his words,
" STOP CALLING ME ANYTHING! We have ended our relationship long time back."
Shanz laughed again before looking straight through her enraged eyes. His lips curled up into a playful smirk as he spoke taking a stop closer towards her,
" Why? Am I reminding you our old sweet memories, Princess Jessie?"
Jessie pressed her lips together without saying anything and persuaded herself telling that he was doing all those lame actings to waver her emotions. Jessie inhaled a deep breath and found the courage to look into his emotionless eyes before saying lowly,
" Wasn\'t it enough to break my heart once, Prince Shanz? What do you want from me again? Your hatred towards me has nothing to do with us anymore. Isn\'t it?"
Shanz persuaded his lips hesitantly and scoffed rolling his eyes,
" Glad that you know, I hate you. At least, I am not so mean or ruthless like your brother."
Jessie laughed genuinely this time. Though she had grudges towards her brother, she would never disrespect Cedric in front of their sworn enemy. Arching her head up to look into his eyes, she spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice,
" Then why can\'t you look into my eyes longer, Prince Shanz? Let me tell you why you can\'t. Because you know that you have done wrong to me. Deep down, you feel guilty towards me and you will be forever gui..."
" STOP SPEAKING! " Shanz yelled appearing uneasy as if he was having an inner battle to suppress his true emotions.
He continued in a disdainful voice without a pause,
" Don\'t pretend like you and your siblings are saint, Jessie. You...and your damn family are the reason of my brother\'s execution. Your sister, she isn\'t even worthy of being called a wife. She never stood beside my brother and always had her beloved brother in her eyes. What have I done to you, you deserve it totally."
He paused midway before continuing in a lower voice,
" You deserve this heart break and I enjoy to see you broken."
Jessie formed into a bitter smile. Looking back into his eyes, she replied tearing up slightly,
" Yes, I am Broken but you didn\'t broke me Shanz. I was alway broken from my childhood. You just added salt in my old wounds and recreated something to make me feeling my ownself more disgusted. Now that, I am finally broken according to your own preference, are you happy?"
After her words, Shanz was silent for a while. It was hard to know what was he thinking inside. His pair of eyes were always emotionless same like in the past.
Shanz stepped backward and swallowed hard. Looking at the group of his Chitahs, he ordered pursuing his lips together hardly,
" Grab her and bring her to DAVINA. We will use her as a tool to kill Princess Isabella\'s offspring."
His words were like heavy blow to Jessie who didn\'t think that Shanz would stoop so low in the name of revenge. Her blood boiled when he spoke about killing Isabella\'s child.
Jessie stepped forward boldly and spoke with a loud growl,
" Say that again! I will kill you."
Before Shanz could offer her any answer, they heard the howls of wolves that were making their way inside the forest. The Chitahs looked confused and waited for Shanz\'s next command.
Since the people from Basarisk had reached them, Shanz didn\'t want to be exposed. He signalled at those Chitahs to leave first and shifted his attention back on Jessie who was standing unbothered.
Dimming his eyes a little, he gave her few words before taking his leave,
" We will meet again, Jessie. I still have so much hatred for you."
*****************************
AUTHOR\'S NOTE: Please be patience with the storyline of Cedric and Ayra. I need to introduce with the new characters first so that they can go with the flow. I just can\'t bring them at middle abruptly and make it hard for you all to accept their presence. So be patience and take a note that slow paced romance means you will see everything happening around them except their love life. This book is much longer than previous part. So be patience and I believe that you will love them with the flow of story based on my judgement in previous part.
