Hatred Inception's

Bella, who was originally frozen, immediately ran when the man approached her.

“Quick, catch that woman!” the debt collector ordered.

Bella ran as hard as she could. She no longer has a car at all. The police have also confiscated all these facilities. All that remains is the house.

Her breathing was very rapid. Bella tried very hard, but her efforts still failed. Eventually, the man who was chasing her ran much faster and caught her.

“No! Let me go! Who are you?! Why are you arresting me?!” They didn't give Bella the chance to answer. They injected something into his hand until she finally lost consciousness.

 Bella blinked. Her eyes felt sore when the bright light hit her eyes. The feeling of dizziness hit her immediately. The woman turned her head left and right. She woke up quickly. Sit straight with a panicked face. Arabella even immediately got out of bed.

“Where am I?!”

She walked towards the door.

Creak. Creak. Creak.

And her panicked face was even more visible because the door was locked. Arabella tried to remember what happened to her. And when the memory came back, Arabella glared.

“I was kidnapped!”

Arabella tried to calm down. Who exactly was the man who forcibly took her away? Arabella still doesn’t even know now.

Arabella racked her brains. Looking for the window, who knows, she might still have a chance to escape and return home. But unfortunately, all the windows were locked. And Arabella gave up because she couldn’t open it. Just wanting to break the window was useless because there was still an iron fence in the glass window, which made it impossible to get through this window.

“What should I do now? What does the kidnapper want from me?”

Arabella leaned her body against the wall, and then her body slumped. The woman hid her face behind her hands and knees.

It felt like in the last few days, tribulations kept coming at her. It’s very difficult for her to bear. Her chest felt very tight. Unable to hold it in, Arabella cried.

Arabella remained in that position until she heard the sound of the locked door being opened.

Click.

Arabella immediately wiped her tears and stood up to hide. Maybe this was her chance to escape.

Kriet….

The door was opened.

Arabella peered carefully. And when she saw who came in, her eyes bulged again.

“You again!”

Arabella really couldn’t hide her anger. On reflex, she came out of hiding and rushed towards the man. That was her uncle.

With shortness of breath, she walked quickly. Her hands were itching to slap the man. She was very close to Jullius, but when her hand swung and was about to slap him, Jullius easily caught her arm.

Grab!

THUMP!

The reflexes that Jullius uses to protect himself are impressive. But what annoyed Arabella the most was how this man always showed no other expression than his poker face.

Jullius looked at her. “Watch your attitude,” he said in his deep baritone. His voice made Arabella, who was originally brave, even more nervous. Her heart was beating very fast. Somehow, her courage just disappeared.

The aura of dominance that Jullius exuded scared her. But Arabella tried not to show her fear.

“What do you mean by doing all this? You imprisoned my father. You even took the company. And now you kidnapped me. What are your intentions?” Arabella asked. She tried to face it calmly. Even though she felt like she wanted to scream to express her anger.

Jullius just snorted. He brushed Arabella’s arm roughly.

“Don’t make a fuss. You look so ridiculous. Stupid,” said Jullius. Instead of answering, he just mocked Arabella.

“Crying and crying. You are very a weak young woman,” he added. Jullius said while glancing at the CCTV. Arabella followed Jullius’ gaze, and she immediately felt embarrassed. It turns out that Jullius saw what she did earlier. She was the one trying to escape.

Arabella’s gaze sharpened and looked at Jullius. Her mouth was about to utter words, but Jullius didn’t seem to care. The man turned around and intended to leave. But Arabella held his arm.

“Where are you going?! Answer my question first! Or will report you to the police because you kidnapped me!” threatened Arabella. She doesn’t know where the courage came from again. Jullius still didn’t seem to care, but Arabella kept pressing him so that Jullius felt a little annoyed. The man turned around. Again, he pushed Arabella’s arm away and then stepped closer to Arabella.

Arabella stepped back. Jullius’ gaze was different than before. This time it was more threatening, as if she was the prey and the man was the predator.

“W-what the—”

Jullius continued to step forward until Arabella had no more left to go back because her feet had touched the bed and she sat down

“D-Don’t..”

Jullius snorted.

“Your stepfather owes me an enormous debt. I told you he caused a lot of loss to my company because of the corruption he committed,” said Jullius.

Arabella was very surprised when Jullius innocently grabbed her jaw. It wasn’t just a light grip, but it was so tight that Arabella felt pain there. Her fear grew bigger and bigger. Her eyes were filled with tears. Why did her uncle do this?

Jullius snorted when he saw Arabella crying. “You’re really a crybaby,” Jullius commented, hitting Arabella hard.

Tears continued to flow from her eyes.

“W-Why are you doing this? Sob. Why are you so mean? I am your nephew. My father is your older brother. I-It should be—ahhkk!”

Arabella could feel the grip on her jaw tighten. That gaze seemed to be getting darker. Like he’s going to lose control. And what Jullius said next put a big question mark in her brain.

“Stop talking about that man,” said Jullius. His eyes narrowed, his lips looked tense, and one hand on his right and left shoulder strengthened, making Arabella wince in pain.

“Why… why are you this angry?”

Jullius touched her chin, forcing Arabella to keep her head up, forcing this young woman to continue looking at him.

“Open your eyes,” he said. However, Arabella did not obey his orders at all. This made Jullius very angry. He doesn’t like being contradicted.

“I said, open your eyes!” Once again, he ordered, in a tone full of warning. Arabella had never felt so goosebumps when someone ordered her to. Unfortunately, she still did not carry out the order. Her eyes were closed. Arabella hated looking at this man.

“OPEN YOUR EYES I SAID AND LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK!” Gone was the patience that Jullius had tried to have earlier.

Arabella’s heartbeat seemed to stop for a split second. Her body felt stiff. Arabella regained consciousness three seconds later. The woman opened her eyes. Her eyes were red and the tears still didn’t stop. Her face turned pale. She was biting her lip, and her hands were even shaking, showing how scared she was now.

Jullius’ gaze was so straight. He knew Arabella was afraid. But even he didn’t feel guilty for making this young woman this afraid of him. She even looks traumatized.

“I warn you. Obey every order I give you,” said Jullius seriously. He locked his gaze on Arabella. His eyes showed seriousness. As if to say, ‘Don’t mess with someone like me!’ There was an emotional vibration that was visible in every intonation that Jullius gave. The intonation was so deep that it created a very tense atmosphere in the room.

This man showed that he was in charge, and Arabella had no right to argue.

“I-I am your brother’s daughter. Why… why did you—”

“He’s not my brother.” Quickly, Jullius cut off Arabella’s words.

Arabella looked confused. Jullius snorted.

“So far, from the news circulating. Everyone knows that your father died by suicide,” he said.

Arabella was silent. She waited for Jullius to finish his words.

“He’s not.”

THUMP!

Arabella felt her heart beating fast. Her eyes looked empty when she heard Jullius’ words. He’s not? What does that mean? So... all this time his father didn’t die by suicide? All this time, that’s what Arabella believed. But… Jullius said differently. Does Jullius know what happened behind all that? Now Arabella’s curiosity is getting bigger.

“You mean?’

His lips were pulled upwards. Showing a slight smirk, that expression added to Jullius’s charm.

“I killed him.”

THUMP!

And at that time, Arabella didn’t know how to respond. She could see the victorious look that Jullius gave her. Don’t know what he meant by looking at her like that. Did Jullius feel proud that he had killed her father? Why did Jullius do that?

And there are still many questions that are making her head almost explode.

“I hate him, Arabella. I am the one who killed your father. I feel satisfied because I have done that,” said Jullius right in front of Arabella’s ear. As if he wanted to emphasize what he had done and how much it made him feel complacent.

Her world collapsed in ruins. Instead of empathizing because Bella looked so devastated, Jullius smiled faintly. Satisfaction was visible in his eyes. What he saw satisfied him. After dozens of years, he could finally feel this satisfaction again. The revenge he has can be avenged little by little.

“N-No… Y-You… no way.” Bella bit her lip. Just to talk, she found it difficult. Her chest was very tight. It felt like she was being beaten with full force there many times.

“Yes, Bella. Yes. You heard it right. That is the truth,” said Jullius. He bent over until his face was facing the sobbing Bella. Her face was red, not only tears flowing, but clear mucus in her nose. Her lips naturally pink lips looked even more red and swollen because Bella was biting it hard.

Jullius’ gaze turned cold. “Face the reality,” he said. His index finger stroked Bella’s cheek. So gentle. Had Jullius not revealed the truth, Bella might have enjoyed the tenderness this man offered. Moreover, this man looks even more charming with his serious expression. His symmetrical facial shape is sharp and defined. His almond-shaped eyes with those beautiful hazel irises, that intense expression, never left Arabella not stunned by the beauty. His nose is sharp and his lips are full. Even though he often smokes, his lips still look pink and moist. His mustache and beard remained neatly trimmed. All the beauty and firmness on his face increasingly create a masculine impression on Jullius.

Bella clenched her fists. Pushing the man with the remaining strength she had. She returned Jullius’ gaze with a look full of hatred that she had. Even once, Bella never hated anyone. But Bella really couldn’t avoid the hatred towards this man. The more it mounted, the more she wanted to make this man feel the pain she felt.

“Go to hell,” she said very bluntly.
