Hearing his words that bound her like a cage made Arabella to glare at him out of anger.
She pushed his chest, pushing that thick wall in front of her until the push turned into anger as she balled her hands into a fist and hit him strongly on his ribs. It didn't affect him- instead, it hurt her more but she didn't stop. Anger rose to her throat and she yelled, "You, you're... an asshole."
Her voice rang through the chamber, raw and shaking with fury. She struck him again, her fists colliding with his ribs, her hands trembling from the force of it. It didn't matter that she was the one in pain, that her efforts barely made him flinch but she didn't care.
Cassius watched her, unblinking, as still as the water that was about to erupt. His expression unreadable as she vent her anger against him. Her breath was ragged, her lips still shaking from the fear of death she had just survived from, but she didn't stop. She didn't want to stop.
