BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41: Why did you do it?
" What did I do exactly? " Lucian asked as he finally gave up on freeing his hands.
" You betrayed me. Even though I am your wife, even though you are the only one I need, why did you choose someone else? " Jasmine spoke as her right hand slowly began to descend towards Lucian\'s chest.
" Stop!! I don\'t understand what you mean, let\'s talk it out first, this might be a misunderstanding, probably. " Lucian spoke with his gaze glued to the approaching tip of the knife.
" I loved you so much and all I asked was for you to stay with me but you chose your mother over me, you did all that behind my back. Did you... enjoy eating the cake? Hmm? "
Jasmine asked, her voice becoming more intense with each passing moment and soon the tip of the knife was pressed against Lucian\'s chest.
Lucian wondered how she was aware of it all but that was not the important thing right now, he had to stop her somehow but it did not seem like Jasmine was in any mood to listen, at this moment even this extremely beautiful woman looked like a demon.
Just as Jasmine began to push the knife down, Lucian pleaded: " Wait, if you really want to kill me then instead of using a knife let\'s just end it with snu s- "
*STAB*
But without giving him any time to speak, Jasmine pushed the knife through Lucian\'s heart, as he died with his eyes and mouth wide open, and his bucket list unfinished.
" Aaaaaah!! " a loud scream rang out in the room, as Lucian sat up straight. He was panting and sweating slightly even though the room had several air conditioners, and his heart was beating extremely fast.
First of all, Lucian touched his chest and released a sigh of relief seeing there was no blood or any knife plunged into his body, and his mind finally registered the reality.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and began to think: \' Thank god, it was just a dream. I have to be careful in the future or Jasmine might actually kill meee- \'
But soon he noticed something shiny from the corner of his eyes and then his gaze landed on a knife present just beside him, Lucian was startled as he instinctively moved back and then looked at the person standing beside him.
" Are you alright? " Jasmine was standing there, holding a knife in one hand and an apple in another, her tone as usual sounded emotionless just like her expressions.
" Yes haa haa I\'m fine, but what are you doing here... with a knife? " He asked, trying to calm himself and not think anything negative.
" I brought some fruits for you, I heard you started working out. " Saying that Jasmine brought the knife down on the Apple and cut it in two.
Lucian gulped down his saliva imagining himself as the apple, he sat there with a poker face and didn\'t say anything further.
" What did you dream about? " Jasmine questioned as she cut the apple into even smaller slices.
With his gaze fixed on the apple and the knife, Lucian replied without thinking:
" About you. "
The knife stopped for a moment but then she continued to cut the apple into even thinner slices with precision, and Lucian immediately regretted his answer while she questioned further:
" So what was your dream? "
" I... don\'t remember exactly, but you were there. " He replied while looking away from her so she wouldn\'t catch him lying, and he was reminded of the feeling of a knife thrusting into his chest.
"..." Jasmine thought about something, then she placed all the thin slices of the apple on a plate and passed it to him then she turned to do something on her mobile.
Lucian looked at the slices that were less than a quarter in width of his pinky finger, just a little more and they would have been equal to a piece of paper. Just seeing her precision was scary.
While he was busy observing the slices and wondering where his life went wrong, Jasmine was doing the main thing she had come here for, she opened that site and began to fill in the answers to some of the questions.
(Q: Have he ever dreamt of you?)
Just thinking about Lucian\'s recent words, Jasmine gave her answer.
-Yes
(Q: Does his heart beat faster when you two are close?)
Jasmine pondered for a moment then she glanced back at Lucian who was still looking at the Apple as if he pitied the poor fruit, with her heightened senses she could easily feel his heart beat.
His heart was beating wildly, for a moment Jasmine even wondered if he was all right, but then she filled in her second answer.
-Yes
(Q: Does he act shy or seem nervous around you? Like looking away when talking to you or hiding away from you.)
After thinking for a moment, Jasmine gave her answer.
-Yes
(Q: Does he keep his distance from you?)
-Yes
(Q: Does he often leave abruptly when you approach him?)
-Yes
(Q: Do he avoid eye contact?)
-Yes
(Q: Does he deny the fact that he loves you?)
-Don\'t know
...
There were a few more questions, and with some thinking, she filled them all then she submitted the answers and waited for the result to come out.
*DING*
With a notification bell, an answer came to her screen.
-Purchase a monthly subscription to see your answer.
Jasmine\'s brows creased but since she wanted to know the answer so she paid the money and finally saw the answer.
-(CONGRATULATIONS!! He is indeed in love with you. He is flustered and trying to hide his feelings, but is also afraid to lose you at the same time.)
=CONCLUSION: Try asking him if he loves you, if he said yes then you are good to go but if he refuses then you are the one who needs to play the active role before someone else steals his heart.
I\'m cheering for you XD, you can do it, girl!!! Go break a leg.
After reading the entire thing Jasmine put the mobile away and turned to look at him, Lucian had just started eating the apple.
Reading that conclusion had filled her mind with even more questions than answers. What it means that he loves her, what she needs to do now and many others.
" Do you need me for something? " Lucian asked as he finally calmed down a little.
" ... Do you love me? " Jasmine asked after a moment\'s thought.
" No. "
Lucian refused instantly, he didn\'t even need a second to think about it, honesty was dripping from his words.
All he felt towards her was fear and nothing aside from that feeling, even if she might be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
