5. Comeback

Roman Ellington's POV

I couldn't understand the restless feelings I was having. I felt Lina was very close. I turned and looked behind. I saw Lina was standing there looking at me with sad eyes.

"Lina? Am I hallucinating again?" I must have looked crazy with wide eyes, untamed hair, and clothes.

Lina shook her head with tears in her eyes. Her nose started to get red exactly how it used to when she felt like crying uncontrollably. That was enough for me to know that she was real.

I closed the distance between us within seconds and took her in my arms. I sink my head on her neck and hair. She smelled the same if not more alluring.

"I knew you can't leave me, I knew my Lina can't leave me." I kept murmuring and kissed on her eyes, cheeks, forehead, and lips. I was trying to make myself believe that she was alive, safe, and standing there with me.

"You know for a second I thought I lost you. I thought I would not see you again ever. Everything hurt, I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. Promise me you won't do it again promise me you won't leave me." I was literally shivering as the fear of her leaving again started to set on me.

"Roman, calm down, please. What have you done to yourself? Were you drinking? Did you even shower or eat? what are you doing?!" She asked touching my face softly.

"How can I do something when I knew nothing about you? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I am fine don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, we are getting married in a few days. But look at you, is this how a groom looks? Go to the washroom and freshen up. See I bought food for you, your favorite Mexican." She showed me the food on the table.

"When did you bring food?" she didn't even go that direction so I couldn't understand how they were there.

"When you were drowning in your misery. Now go till then let me fix your room. I can't believe you were locked here like this."

She pushed me inside of the washroom and closed the door. I brushed and took a quick shower so that I could help her to re-arrange the room. It was a mess and I didn't want her to do everything.

I entered the room ready to help her but I saw that everything was clean everything was in its place that too in a short span of time. I looked at her in shock.

"How did you do it so fast? I thought at least one hour is needed."

She smiled, "Don't underestimate the power of a woman. Come here and sit. I will feed you myself."

She was feeding me and I asked her if she's not going to have any. "Stop thinking about me. I am not the one who locked herself inside of a room for 3 days."

I was done soon as I wasn't interested in food because she was finally in front of me after so many days and misery. "Where were you? The police are searching for your dead body. Âssholes, I told them that you are alive but they didn't believe me. Let me call them and inform them that you are alive so that they can finally piss off."

"Roman, you can't do that. Just call them and tell them to stop searching. Don't tell them that I am alive or anything." She held my hand.

"Why? They will declare you dead. Why don't you want me to inform them? Is everything alright?" I held her shoulder and looked into her eyes with worries.

"Nothing is fine, Roman. You can't tell anyone that I came to see you or else they will think that you are mad." I frowned. Nothing was making any sense.

"Why would they call me mad if I see you? What's going on?" I was becoming frantic.

"Because they can't see me, Roman. Only you can see me because I want you to see me." I shook my head. "What do you mean?"

"The police are right. I am dead." I looked at her for a few seconds and laughed.

"You are joking. It's not easy to fool me, Lina."

"It's the truth. I am dead and your brother killed me." She said coldly.

I was not expecting to hear something like that. "Lina, this is too much. You are kidding about a serious matter and that's a very serious allegation on Hunter."

"I am not joking. You don't believe me?" I don't know what was on her face but that look gripped my heart in fear, fear for her. I looked away as I couldn't keep looking at her eyes.

"look at me. Look at me, Roman." I slowly looked at her. Her voice and face both were emotionless.

My eyes widen and my jaw dropped when she slowly vanished in the air. I looked around frantically. "I was imagining again. But it was too real to be my imagination. Lina! Lina! Come back, please. Please come back."

She came back slowly just like she vanished. I was frozen because of the sudden activities. My rational brain was freaking out thinking it's impossible. But it also meant one thing.

She really was murdered by Hunter.

I was breathing heavily and it felt like the whole world was rotating continuously. Black spots started to fill my sight and after that, I knew nothing.

Angelina Roscoe's POV

I knew it would be too much for him to digest but the sooner he knows the better.

As a spawn of Angel, I couldn't actually harm that murderer but the mental pressure I would create for him would be unbelievable. After that, he would rather commit suicide or be mental forever.

Tch tch tch, you can't spend your fortune as you wish, Hunter.

I saw Roman losing his sense and was about to fall on the floor but I stopped him. His body was floating in the air. I carefully placed him on the bed. Using invisible powers was tiring but Lydia - the one who informed me of being a spawn of Angel- said that I would get used to it.

I was watching him in his unconscious condition. He looked too tired. I had more to say but after seeing his condition, I decided against it. I could inform him later. It would tear him apart but he needed to know.

Hunter! It's all because of you. You will wish for death, I promise you that!

The rage in me was increasing. I controlled it because once it reaches its peak then I would lose control. I didn't want to ruin what I could have in the future because of my rage. Hunter had snatched enough.

I saw Roman stirring a little. I moved away from him and pour some drink into a glass. The sounds I made reached to him so he wasn't actually really shocked to see me. He would have a heart attack if he saw me all of a sudden.

"Where did you get that?" Roman sat up holding his head.

"I can bring anything from anywhere. I got some power you know. Are you okay?"

"I don't know. I always like to be in control but in this situation I don't know what to expect and what to do." I looked away. It's hard to see strong people broken.

"If you are dead then how are you here? Something beyond the logic happened right?" He asked getting out of bed.

"I was on the cloud of soul and after that, my life changed completely. My grandma was right. There is another world." I smiled

"What's this cloud of soul?" He sat on the chair across me.

"That's a place where a soul goes before the afterlife and the way of the afterlife is there only."

"Then how are you here? And you know it was Hunter? Nothing is making sense."

"I am appointed as a spawn of Angel. Lydia who receives souls told me that. I will have duties to perform and I can seek revenge -"

I told him whatever little I could to make him understand. When I have done, he had a look of disbelief.

"I feel like, I am inside of a movie. But you are here even after Hun-" He paused. He was hurt. He always treated Hunter as his own brother but that trash never deserved to be treated nicely.

"I know you have a soft spot for him. I am going to hurt him maybe not physically but mentally. I won't involve you if you don't want -"

"I will help. I couldn't save you and I only could help you a little. Do whatever you want to." His eyes were red because of unshed tears.

"You only have to keep my condition as a secret and move your hands and legs when I want. Don't worry, I won't tell you to rob a bank." I chuckled.

"Oh! I can rob Hunter's account if you want." He suggested. He was trying to accept our situation and live with that. It's easier to accept other than pondering the reasons for the misfortune.

"That's a good idea. We will do that. But we need a strategy to start our plan. The first impact has to be powerful. I have to wait before I can make any public appearance." I didn't think about how I was going to take revenge. Hunter killed me with a plan and I needed a solid plan to ruin him.

"Why do you need time?"

"I will get more power as time goes."

"You told me that you already got power. Why do you need more?" Roman was not liking the power concept it was clear. These powers could be destroying and he guessed it well.

"Because I wasn't supposed to be dead, Roman."
