Fell Into His Love Trap novel Chapter 64

The ends of the gold chain were clipped together before Tobias could try to help her put it on.

The girl was quick; that spoke to her independence.

After he spent much time with her, he had learned that she was the hands-on type.

Were it up to any other woman, they would have coquettishly commented about how much they liked it and asked for their suitor to put it on for them.

Tobias held her hand anew as the cawing of a murder of crows spiraled overhead. The path grew more foreboding the more they advanced.

There was hardly any warmth emanating from his palm.

When they finally came to halt before a spot where a standing statue was prominently featured, Skylar swallowed hard. Oh God, I knew it! I knew this was all too good to be true – he’s going to kill me here!

“You are not going to conduct a blood sacrifice, are you?”

He looked straight at her without speaking.

Then his lips curled into a smile. “Whoops.”

Skylar’s legs stiffened and refused to move when her subconscious mind screamed for them to run. Her face trembled in her hands as she dreaded to look upon the man’s face.

“It’s no wonder you won’t leave me alone. Killing is against the law. Have a heart, Tobias, and let me go.”

“‘The law’ are just two words for someone like me who has already known the blood of countless innocents with my hands.”

A childlike whimper was elicited from between her paralyzed lips.

That led him to finally understand what drew him to her.

“Please. I don’t want to die.” At this moment, the sky opened up and cast its bloodless light upon the earth. Skylar was now able to see Tobias’s hardened face illuminated in its entirety.

He came close and ran his fingers through her hair. “You are always talking about ending it all. But you are obviously not ready for it!”
