Come Closer

Chapter 41

His face bore a smirk- a sinister smirk. The glint in his eyes screamed danger. Short and shiny styled black hair with the expensive suit he was wearing spoke volumes of his wealth.

Avelyn forced herself to breathe slowly and deeply, determined not to give away that she was scared. He watched him coming closer to her with glaring eyes.

Closer, and closer, he stepped near her. Avelyn had to slightly turn her head up to look at him in the eye. Whatever happened, she was determined not to give the enemy of whom she didn't know the satisfaction of being able to plant fear in her mind.

"Hmm" he chuckled. "What a beautiful face..." He traced his finger down at the side of her face. His gaze was following it, just observing. His eyes bore nothing. Literally nothing. And Avelyn wondered why she was still kept alive.

Avelyn's eyes widened when he suddenly grabbed her chin harshly. "It's a pity that I'll have to ruin it" he whispered near her face, and laughed.

His hand travelled down her throat. ''Did you really think that you'd get away after meddling with my work?" He pushed her hard against the wall.

The heavy metal chains that held Avelyn up clanked when he released her wrists. She fell down on her knees, causing an electrifying pain to run through her spine when the sudden pressure affected her wounded thigh.

She gasped. She gripped her thigh to bear the pain.

Her hands curled into fists. "Who are you?" She asked in a low voice which was filled with rage.

The man simply glanced at her. "What is the use of knowing my name sweetheart?" He asked, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt.

Avelyn grinned. "It's always good to know the one I have to get rid of, don't you think so?"

He shrugged. "We all have our own preferences." He stepped towards Avelyn's kneeling figure, and crouched down. "Now get up! Let's have some fun, shall we?"

Avelyn groaned when she was pulled up by her hair, and pushed towards the wall. The first punch was to her stomach, causing her to bend down in pain.

"Aren't you a coward..." she panted, "to..be scared to reveal your name?" His reply was a slap on her face.

Avelyn licked her bleeding lip. "Oww poor kid doesn't want me to know his name" she taunted. Her head was pulled back when he grabbed her long hair in a fist. "You really wanna know my name, don't you sweetheart?" He said in her ear.

His other hand slowly travelled down from her neck, feeling every curve at her side, and stopped at her waist. "I'm almost tempted to let you know....but where's the fun in it?" And he squeezed her waist hard, and laughed when Avelyn whimpered in pain.

"Let's say that it is to be fair" Avelyn spoke, and kicked him hard. He flew back by the sudden force, and Avelyn had to hold on to the wall for support. She delivered a punch in his stomach when he got up and yanked her at his direction.

Both fell on the floor. The man was quick to recover, and Avelyn's head was turned to the side when she felt the sickening force of his anger land on her in the form of a fist punch. "Since you insist, I'll tell you who I am sweetheart."
