Hellbound With You

Chapter 888 Unmistakable

Chapter 888 Unmistakable

  The atmosphere had a sudden and complete 360 degrees turn upon hearing Zeke's voice sounding from the speakers.

  From all the laughing the chicken dance had caused to a heartwarmingly melancholic and romantic mood, it was really an unexpected occurrence. No, they could not quite explain it, but there was something completely different in this moment. Something that had made them want to smile and cry all at the same time.

  Somehow, they just could tell that this was not all because of Zeke's no-so-surprisingly great voice that had caused goosebumps all over their arms.

  "Geez… I can't believe this…" Alex was smiling wryly in disbelief as he leaned against Abi and gently pressed her head against his shoulder. "That guy just stole your confession idea. You want me to scold him later?" he whispered before planting a kiss on Abi's hair and she chuckled at that.

  Abi looked up and when their eyes met, Abi realized Alex remembered it too. That time when she confessed to him. And it made her feel even more emotional as she thought of how far they had come since then. And now, here they were, even able to celebrate their twin's arrival with their closest friends.

  "That idea isn't mine to begin with, Alex. I bet countless people have confessed their feelings to their significant other through songs since the beginning of time." she pinched him playfully.

  "Well…" Alex kissed Abi's head again. "I guess Zeke really has such an amazing taste regarding this matter at least. He's doing such a great job… that little bastard." Alex could not quite help but complain about him. But it was done good-naturedly and with a smile.

  "He is… I honestly am so happy for him… for them." Abi smiled, returning her gaze towards the couple. One glance and she already knew – even before Zeke had yet to sing single verse. "I'm so glad your wish is finally happening, Alex."

  Alex laughed silently. "It happened so much earlier than I've ever thought it would, though. Ah… the things love can do..." he remarked with a face as though he was an old and extremely experienced wise man.

  Abi giggled quietly as well.

  Her gaze then turned to and focused on Alicia and her heart swelled. She had never seen either of them looking like that before – so happy, satisfied and so very much in love with the other. Never. So silently, Abi prayed that they both will overcome every challenges that comes their way and be together forever, just like her and Alex. They truly deserve to have their very own happily ever after as well.

  On the other table, Lilith and Kyle had their full attention locked onto the couple on the stage. They looked pretty calm on the outside but under the table, Lilith was clenching her fists in her skirt while Kyle had his one fist balled into a tight grip. However, it was not because of anger, nor frustration. They just did not even actually realize they were doing it.

  Kyle's eyes were fixed onto Zeke. He had never… ever seen his older brother do anything so human like this. Never imagined or dreamt about it. He had never seen him look at anyone like that as well. Zeke's eyes were never that bright and alive before.

  The same thought was in Kai and Lucas' mind at the moment too. Was this still the same Ezekiel that they had known all this time?

  Kai who was gripping Kelly's hand, was rubbing his thumb in circular motions over her palm while he had his gaze glued onto Zeke as well. This was a shock of lifetime for him. And apparently not just him, but he was pretty sure the same was the case for everyone else who had known Zeke for so long.

  It was not that they did not believe in love. But they just thought that Zeke was someone even love could not conquer. And yet here he was, serenading a woman in front of everyone like this. Only a blind person would think that this was nothing but a simple song dedication. No, even a blind person could tell if they heard his song, the unmistakable traces of emotion lacing his voice.

  It was that hard to believe that none of them could even find a word to say. Right now, they were witnessing a Zeke that they had never ever seen before.

  In Iryz and Zeres' table, the atmosphere was as silent as the others. Iryz slowly looked over at Zeres, wanting to see how he was taking it. She knew now that the lady on the stage was Alicia. The woman whom she had thought was Zeres' lover. The one he had been desperately trying to save.

  Watching the romantic and heartfelt show on the stage, Iryz could already tell what was going on between those two. Alicia was definitely in love with that man.

  Despite all the things Zeres had confessed to her, she was curious to see Zeres' reaction to this. But at that moment, he was not showing any emotions that were strong enough for anyone to read what he was feeling at the moment. She wondered what was it that was running through his mind right now.

  To her surprise, he noticed her gaze and turned to face her. Their eyes met and Iryz flushed at being caught red-handed in spying on him. It seemed that she had stared too much!

  She forced a quick and sheepish smile before turning her attention back to the stage when he suddenly stretched his hand over to her. She noticed that he had offered her his open palms.

  Blinking a couple of times, Iryz slowly put her hand onto his.

  Curious what he was going to do, she looked up at him again and saw that his attention was back to the stage. However, he… his hand closed warmly around hers before he suddenly started pressing and rubbing on certain spots on her hand. He was massaging her hand with his fingers!
