Hellbound With You Chapter 271 Don't break

Chapter 271 Don“t break

Abi shook her head. She felt like she couldn't breathe. She gasped for air at this revelation. She wouldn't believe it. She couldn't. It couldn't be true. They were lying to her again! But somehow, she felt that the strong light of hope that had illuminated her whole body with happiness, was being snuffed out quickly and it broke her.
She clung onto Zeke as she tried to breathe. It hurt. It hurt so much.
Zeke just sighed again. "Listen. I'm not telling you all this just to hurt you. That is not my intention. I have no quarrels with you. I'm telling you this for a reason. I let you come here because I think Alex's soul might not be completely gone yet," he added and Abi looked up at him again.
"I can't be sure but the day before last night, I saw him staring at the rings. I believe those rings are your engagement ring and your wedding rings he put together in a necklace before he went to hunt down Xavier."
Silent tears fell down Abi's eyes.
"Now you need to understand that Alex might hurt you. He's not the same man anymore. You can't even call him a man anymore. He's a complete monster now. Are you willing to still go after him?" Zeke's gaze was sharp as he asked her, telling her that she must think about this. That this was something grave and dangerous for her.
But Abi didn't even pause to think about her decision.
"Yes. I know there is still hope, his soul isn't completely gone yet, we… could still bring him back!" Abi was desperate and the worse thing was that there was no doubt in her eyes at all. She clung on to every little thread of hope he threw at her, that Alex would still remember, that there must still be a way to save him. She clung onto the tiny, flickering light of hope in her heart because it was less painful than accepting that the Alex that she loved and loved her in return, was gone forever.
"I'm not going to promise anything. You have to think about this properly. He might destroy you and leave you completely empty, like he is." He warned but, for the first time in a while, a smile that wasn't forced curved on Abi's lips. It was small but it was still a smile.
"No… he wouldn't do that. Don't worry. I will bring Alex back. I'm not going to give up on him. Never."
Zeke couldn't say a thing. He wasn't doing this just for Abi and Alex. He was doing this for the sake of this nation. No, for the sake of this world. This was a huge problem. Alex had become susceptible to possession and manipulation now that he had no soul. Zeke could still manipulate him. The reason was unknown on why he was the only one that Alex listened to since he returned, soulless. And that was a really good thing. However, even Zeke would not live forever. He would die one day and the world would be left to fend for themselves because it would all depend on who would be able to manipulate Alex after him. Alex was a ticking time bomb now and Zeke couldn't deny that their only hope right now was the belief that his soul was not completely dead yet. And that this wife of his could somehow find a way to bring his soul back. He could only believe that since she was able to kill him, she might also be able to bring him back to life.
However, in all honesty, he couldn't think of any way of how she could even do that.
"I'm going back there. I will go get him," she told him, brave and willful. Somehow, this woman was really unbelievable.
"Fine. I'm not going to interfere with you. This is your decision. If you need help, you can let me know what you need," he said and Abi nodded. This man, although he was still as cold and strict as ever even now, Abi was now certain he was not a foe. Because if he was, she would've been dead long ago.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. And thank you so much for saving me," she bowed her gratitude at him as Zeke backed off.
"I didn't save you because I wanted to."
"I know. My husband must have made a deal with you. But still… I want to thank you."
Zeke turned before Abi could finish her words. "Don't call me, Mr. Qin. I'm no longer a Qin," he said and glanced at her sideways.
"Don't break," he added before he finally left.
Abi bit her lips. She turned and looked at the dark open space. 'Don't worry, I won't break. I'm hellbent, after all.' She smiled, looking up. She needed to stop crying now. Enough with these tears. She would show him she could survive this hell. This time, she would be his hero.
Taking a deep breath, Abi was about to move when Kelly found her.
"Sigh, why the hell are you hiding in here?" she asked. "Are you okay?"
Abi smiled at her. "I'm fine, Kelly. I'm going to go and get my man now."
Kelly blinked. OMG! Now what happened? This heartbroken, crying baby a while ago somehow transformed. The aura around Abi felt different now. Did she find what she was looking for?
"Oh… okay. Where is he?"
"He's right there, sitting like the king that he is. Don't worry about me, Kelly. I will probably not come home with you guys tonight."
"Oh… are you sure?"
"Yes. So don't wait for me. I'll send you a message to let you know how I'm going."
Kelly was speechless. She didn't know what happened to her BFF and what was up with her right then. Why did Kelly suddenly feel like she couldn't talk back?
