Chapter 315: Get Away From Her!
Samantha tried to move her feet, but she was inexplicably held down by the force Marius had created. The only thing she could do was blink and make multiple expressions on her face, whilst he found solace in her helplessness, enjoying how she gave up after trying for the past few minutes. He found it wiser that she had stopped, because if she didn’t, her energy would be drained from daring to overpower the constraints of his powers.
A wise step that eventually ruined his moment.
"....!!"
A shaky gasp tore from Samantha’s lips when her knees moved on their own, automatically sending her to the cold ground. Her mind was still trying to process the image of Alain in a cage, wondering if what he had shown her was true. If it was... but how can that be? How did he manage to get hold of Alain, how did Alain end up there? What was happening?
"It’s quite painful when you don’t recall your owner." He crouched to her level, instilling fear in her heart once more. Samantha’s gaze met his obsidian-black eyes, and they seemed to suck her in like a nightmarish tide. She could not move, neither could she speak, and she closed her eyes with disgust when he lifted a hand to touch her dust-covered cheeks.
He caressed her cheek very lightly, like the soft touch of a petal being rubbed on her face, and then whispered.
"We are going to be together, and we’ll be inseparable.. are you listening?" He forcefully made her stare into his eyes by grabbing her jaw. "Your soul was trapped in the Orb, and there was nothing that could be done to bring you back. I kept the Orb with me, I was told there was no way to free an entrapped soul from an Orb but I kept you with me, not for its powers, but for your soul. A battle was lost, and you ended up being a possession for the vampires of the North. They brought you back, and you married the son of my enemy when I’m still alive?... I’m only sparing you for this betrayal cause you have no recollection of your past life."
He released her jaw from his tight grip, whilst Samantha let out a small laugh after listening to the nonsense he just spewed. Of course, Marius wasn’t expecting her to let out a laugh that hinted at his mockery, and she seethed.
