Hellbound Heart

Chapter 274 Task (1)

"Sebastian…" the woman called out. And her voice instantly made Sebastian shut his eyes closed tight. His jaws clenching hard.

"Sebastian…" her voice, her face… was so perfectly Izabelle.

"How… how did you get in here?" Sebastian's voice was ice cold.

He felt rather than see her climb off the bed and then approached him slowly. Her scent… the enticing and potent scent of Iza's blood that was now filling the room was like a powerful spell.

Lifting his arm to cover his nose with the back of his palm, Sebastian tried to fight the haze that seemed to be dragging him into a downward spiral.

"I'm sorry. I got wounded on my way here. But don't worry, it's just a small cut." She explained, stopping a couple of steps away from him. "I miss you, Sebastian."

Sebastian's fingers twitched and then he clenched his fist.

"I don't know how I ended up here." She continued. "I don't really remember. I was in the Black Forest and then the next thing I knew, I am already back here… look at me. Please look at me, Sebastian." Her voice, soft and alluring.

He opened his eyes, peering at her through the fringe of his dark hair. The sight that welcomed him had his eyes stretching slightly wider. Now he knew why she had kept herself covered while she was lying on the bed.

She was wearing a provocative see-through red nightgown. One that left nothing to the imagination.

"Since I am already here… I decided to surprise you." She told him innocently, blinking those large blue eyes at him. He stared at her. His gaze, boring so deeply into those eyes that he had been so badly missing for the last four days.

Slowly, she moved again. But before she could reach out and touch him, he took a large step back, not taking his hand off the lower half of his face. His eyes narrowed at her.

"I need you to leave. Now." He hissed at her.

Her eyes widened for a moment before the surprised expression was completely erased. Shaking her head, she replied to him. "Please…" her voice turned begging. "What are you… saying? Could it be that you don't believe this is me?"

Sebastian froze at her words. Those eyes, that voice…

"Sebastian…" her eyes welled. When he unconsciously removed his hand off his face, the strong, intoxicating scent of her blood was like a potent spell that seeped through him, evoking his every desire uncontrollably. Izabelle was definitely his strength… but his weakness as well.

"Sebastian… please…" she begged once again. In her mind… it seemed to be working. She could see it. Sebastian was faltering. A little more and he would give in. It seems that the potent scent of the blood was having an intense effect on him.

Days ago, Kana had met a witch who offered her a task. This. The humiliation she suffered from that party was something she could never ever forgive. So when the witch told her about this, she did not even hesitate and immediately agreed to do it.

Her task was to find proof that Sebastian and Izabelle's divorce was indeed real and not just a façade.

Right now, Kana believed it was indeed a façade. That witch was right. One look at Sebastian was enough to tell her that he really did not despise Izabelle even though he wanted her to leave.

The witch had done such an amazing job turning her into the woman she despised most in this world. She was amazed at how powerful that witch was to actually be able to do this kind of thing. And now, here she was, right before this man whom she desired more than anything in this world.

And seeing him in this state, looking intoxicated just by the scent of her blood had her feeling so elated. She had never seen him show this kind of expression to her before in all those times she had served him in the past.

Even though her blood was supposed to be the best… she knew now that her blood was nothing compared to that woman's. Because even she was badly affected by the scent. If it was not for the witch's spells on her, she might be craving for that blood right now.

Seeing Sebastian like this had made her realize why she could not stand a chance. But that realization did not kill her will. Instead, it only caused it to grow even stronger instead. The desire to be that woman she hated surged within her. Yes. She was going to take over and be Izabelle if that was what it takes for this man to look at her and go crazy for her like this.

The witch had asked her to do this in exchange for one thing. The witch had told her that she would grant anything she wished. Just one wish.

Kana did not tell her about her wish yet since the witch told her they would meet again for it once she succeeded with her task. Now Kana knew what wish she would request of her. She would ask her to grant her wish of being Izabelle forever.

Kana evilly thought that once the human Izabelle dies, Sebastian would definitely be hers.

She wanted to laugh and scream with triumph but she held back, telling herself she must finish this task first at all cost. She needed proof. She needed to make him hold her… no, that was not enough… he must have sex with her.

Her body screamed with desire and she took another step closer to him. Her confidence that this man was going to be hers tonight touched the highest sky and she lunged herself at him.

A loud thud echoed in the dark room followed by a gasp as Kana suddenly found herself slammed against the door. Her feet were dangling in the air and his hand was… strangling her neck.
