Chapter 75 : Alliance

AJAX. Home is now just a word. It doesn’t mean anything to me. Because the moment we arrive “home,” Draco gets to work and immediately takes me by the throat and slams me against the wall. My back crashes against the picture frame, causing the glass to shatter and explode around me like a puff of smoke. It happens so fast and so hard that I don’t even get the time to process everything. I just land on top of the drawers and break even more decorations in the process. The pain in my back comes late. I can feel little shards of glass lodged into my back, but I get on my feet anyway, looking at Draco who is panting and staring at me like a wild animal. I knew he would do this. In fact, I was already expecting him to break out just like this. It doesn’t scare me. He doesn’t scare me. “Fuck you,” Draco spits out, wiping his face, which is slick with sweat and anxiety. “You made me look like a fucking fool.” “I didn’t need help to do that,” I want to say, but I choose to keep quiet.
