Third person's pov
"Pack your bags luggage, Bella. You are leaving from here."
Bella's heart hammered in her chest and she gasped.
"Are you selling me? Is this a punishment because I tried to run away? I... I am sorry Chris!!! I am really really sorry!! Don't do this to me. I can do anything else for you except this."
Bella started sobbing.
Chris took a step to comfort the girl but she visibly flinched trying to avoid the touch. He felt a pang on his chest.
He gulped and took a deep breath.
"Bella, cool down. I am not going to sell you. I will never ever sell you. I can't even think of it."
Bella visibly felt relief but her face soon turned to a confused expression.
"Then where do I have to go?"
"I am letting you go from here. You are free to go wherever you want. You are no longer my slave. You can leave tomorrow."
Chris tried to sound normal ignoring the sadness he has deep within, but Bella being in his mansion will only worsen the situation. Chris would be guiltier and Bella would hate him more.
Bella tried not to look too excited but she was confused why Chris is letting her go all of a sudden. But she felt disappointed, she had nowhere to go.
"Why are you letting me go?"
Chris gulped.
"That's none of your business. I already deposited your two month salary in your bank account. You can live with it for a few months."
"Is it a trap, Chris?"
"That's how much trust she has for me." he laughed internally. What more he can expect from her, after all he was a jerk towards her.
"I... I have to tell you something." Chris cursed himself for stuttering. Bella's eyebrows furrowed.
He took a deep breath before facing the girl in front of him.
"Bella?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you happy that I am letting you go?"
"Yes. I can't believe I can get out of this hellhole."
"Great. Will you allow me to do something as a gratitude for letting you go?"
"What-"
Bella was not able to complete her sentence when she felt two large hands on her. Her eyes widened and a gasp escaped her.
Chris gently wraps his arms around her, pulling her into a warm embrace. For a brief moment, there was a sense of connection; she was caught off guard, unsure of how to respond, but there's a flicker of vulnerability in her eyes. However, as the moment lingers, the reality of the situation hits her, and she realizes that who the man hugging her is.
"Why is it hurting already!" Chris wondered.
Chris closed his eyes, taking in the warmth of the blonde's embrace. Maybe he will never even get to see Bella.
From tomorrow onwards, Chris will not see Bella, he will not get to have the coffee she made, there will be no giggles of her when he'll enter the mansion.
Her hands, which had been hanging by her sides, come up, and she firmly pushed him away, creating distance between them.
"Chris just hugged me!"
His eyes fluttered open when he was pushed. He lost his balance and his back of the knees hit the corner of the table.
He hissed in the pain, but Bella's expression made him hurt more. She was disgusted just by Chris's touch.
He felt his heart break which was now beating wildly.
"What can I do to make you love me, petal? It hurts... it hurts more than I imagined."
"Stay away from me!" Bella yelled.
Chris took a deep breath and stood up straight ignoring the pain in his heart.
"As I said, I want to tell you something."
Bella hummed with a confusing gaze.
"You remember your parents abandoned you to me?"
Bella nodded with a pained expression.
Chris heasitated for a moment fiddling with his fingers as he was thinking how to word it out.
He took a deep breath and continued-
"Actually they didn't abandon you. They even asked me to end their lives but not to touch you. But I threatened them to act like that in front of you. So you'll be my slave."
Bella's eyes widened in fury. She felt pure anger and rage.
A sharp voice echoed the room of a slap. Bella slapped Chris.
But Chris didn't say anything. He knew he deserved it, he knew he deserved the hate Bella has for him.
"How could you... Chris?? How could you do this to me?" Bella screamed.
Chris called for John.
"John, arrange drivers to escort Bella wherever she wants to go tomorrow."
John nodded and left.
"You can go and pack your bags."
But Bella didn't leave the office, instead she grabbed Chris's collar. And jerked him, Chris could feel his heart breaking more and more. He didn't feel this way for a long time.
"Why are you now letting me go, huh? Maybe I will leave from here and the next moment someone else will kidnap me! You may have asked someone to do that."
"That's not going to happen, you will be safe. You will have no danger from my side."
"You think I'll believe you? Tell me what's your plan?"
"Bella, I am really letting you go."
"WHY.... BUT WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME GO?" Bella yelled, still jerking him off by his collar.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, GODDAMNIT!!! I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!!" Chris's scream echoed the room.
Bella's grip over his collar loosened.
She seemed to be taken back for a moment and Chris could see her gaze soften for a moment.
Maybe... There's a little hope?
But his hope was shattered when the expression was replaced.
"You love me?" Bella laughed. She laughed, pressing her arms on her stomach. Chris gritted his teeth.
"You know monsters don't have heart capable to love and you are a FUCKING MONSTER, Mr. Christian Wilson!"
"I know, Bella. Even I thought the same all these years. But you made my frozen heart melt. You made my heart beat which I thought never existed."
Bella rolled her eyes and huffed in annoyance.
"Keep that melodrama act with you, Chris. I don't really care. But Just for your information, I hate you. I hate you with all my heart. I hate every bit of you and that will never gonna change!"
"I know."
Bella's eyes widened. For the first time she saw emotions in those pairs of hazel eyes. It showed pain. Chris's handsome face looked dead. As his heart is breaking.
Bella gulped.
"No. I can't be weak. Chris doesn't deserve love."
Bella just turned to leave but she stopped near the door.
"I will leave these clothes here, it's not from my money. But I'll accept the money because I worked for it."
Her eyes met those pairs of hazel eyes, and she felt like crying. She doesn't know why but she felt it deep within.
"May I ask you something?" Chris asked softly which was merely a whisper but Bella heard it.
"What is it?"
"Before leaving tomorrow, Can... Can you make me a coffee for... the last time?"
Bella stood for a second as if she is considering his request, some seconds later she hummed and got out of the room.
Chris just stood there.
"But Just for your information, I hate you. I hate you with all my heart. I hate every bit of you and that will never gonna change!"
The words kept repeating like a broken tape on his head.
He ran to a big cupboard near the bookshelf and took an expensive whiskey bottle out of it.
He drank half of the bottle in one gulp.
The strong liquor left a burning sensation on his throat. His gaze fell on the coffee cup. He let out a smile and took a sip of the black liquid.
"Delicious!"
"I should ravish each and every sip!"
He finished the coffee in around 20 minutes, closing eyes and feeling the caffeine after every single sip.
"Pack your bags luggage, Bella. You are leaving from here."
Bella's heart hammered in her chest and she gasped.
"Are you selling me? Is this a punishment because I tried to run away? I... I am sorry Chris!!! I am really really sorry!! Don't do this to me. I can do anything else for you except this."
