The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 133
Three days later.
After assisting her aunt in supervising the workers during harvesting on the plantation, Amber and Cornelia return to the mansion because Cornelia was tired and needed an early rest.
They ate dinner with gusto.
After they finished eating, they retired to their rooms upstairs.
Cornelia falls asleep a few minutes later.
Meanwhile…
In her bedroom, Amber was standing beside the window looking at the darkness of the night from the second floor of the mansion. She told Ivy to return tonight for her final decision regarding the restoration of her memories.
She spent the last three days debating about the pros and cons of restoring her past.
Last night, she finally agreed to the restoration and start with a clean slate.
She told herself that if she will remember Rhett, she will leave him alone with the new woman that he had impregnated. It’s no use loving a person who has already replaced her with a new woman.
But the problem is, the old Sabrina might resurface and still pursue her old lover. She might be able to keep a clear judgment today and be able to keep her distance about Rhett and Sabrina’s love affair because her memories haven’t been fully restored yet.
But what if she already has her old memories back?
What’s going to happen?
She left the window and began pacing back and forth on the floor.
She’s anxiously waiting for Ivy’s arrival, she will be here anytime now.
Two hours later.
She heard a familiar chirping of the bird coming closer to her room. She rushed to the window and saw Ivy flying towards her. She smiled brightly when the bird landed on the window sill. “Here you are! Finally!” she said.
“How long have you been waiting for me?” Ivy asked.
“Two hours already, but it’s okay I’m not in a hurry,” Amber replied apprehensively.
Ivy stared at her friend’s face for a while. “I noticed that you are wearing an anxious expression on your face. What’s wrong? Have you already made a decision… or not yet?” she inquired.
Sighing, Amber went back to bed, Ivy followed her.
“So… what’s your decision? If you decided not to restore your past memories then I’ll never bring that issue again. I’ll stop talking about it starting today,” Ivy said.
Amber took a deep breath, there was still some hesitation on her part about remembering everything. But if she wants closure then she has no choice but to return to her past. She cleared her throat. “I decided to restore my memories. Please do it as soon as possible!” she requested.
“Okay, but let’s not do it here. I don’t want any intervention when doing the restoration. I want a quiet place to be able to do it effectively,” Ivy said. She knows that Cornelia might barge into the room anytime and she hates disturbance while performing something important, especially since memory restoration requires higher concentration on her part.
“So… where are we going to do it?” Amber asked, thinking of a suitable place.
“Ah, I already have a place in mind. Your remember that beautiful beach?”
“Yeah…”
“Let’s go there and perform it there!” Ivy suggested.
Amber agreed. “Okay, that’s the best place to go…”
“Let’s not use the magic carpet this time, let’s just teleport there now!” Ivy said.
“Okay, wait a minute…” Amber spoke and grabbed the jacket hanging on the back of the door that was given by Lady Helen to her. She donned it quickly and looked at the floating bird. “I’m ready!”
“Alright, let’s go! Close your eyes first!” Ivy commanded and landed on Amber’s shoulder.
Amber did as she was told, she shut her eyes tightly.
Ivy initiated the teleportation process in her mind.
A few minutes later.
“We’re back on the beach! You may open your eyes now!” Ivy ordered.
Earlier, Amber felt the familiar wind swirling around her due to the teleportation process. When she opened her eyes, the sight of the calm ocean greeted her eyes.
She took a deep breath and looked at Ivy, floating in front of her. “I’m ready!’ she said.
“Okay, let’s head over on that area under the shade of the palm tree. Let’s do it there!” Ivy said and flew towards the palm tree.
Amber walked towards the shade and lowered herself on the sandy ground.
“Close your eyes and don’t open them until I say so. I’m now going to start the process of restoring your memories. Just relax…” Ivy said.
Amber closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she’s preparing herself mentally for the influx of memories filling her mind a few minutes from now.
Ivy opened her right hand and the ancient artifact called Restoration Diamond Stone left by her grandmother under her care appeared in her palm. She placed it above Amber’s head, it floated in the air.
In her mind, she began chanting the restoration spell with her eyes closed.
The restoration diamond artifact starts flashing – bathing Amber’s head with blue lights.
The restoration diamond stone began restoring Amber’s missing memory one by one.
Time went by.
After Ivy finished her chanting, she allowed Amber to relax after being bombarded with old memories.
Half an hour later.
Amber finally opened her eyes.
She was disoriented for a moment… she blinked her eyes for a few seconds… then slowly everything that happened in her past unfolded in her mind.
Ivy looked at her friend. “Welcome back, Sabrina! How are you feeling now? Did you already remember everything?” she asked.
Amber nodded her head gloomily. “Yes… everything…” she replied sadly and fresh tears sprang from her eyes.
“When Edward and I kidnap Rhett, I was able to see the memories stored in his mind and saw everything. Do you want to know what happened to Rhett during those days when the two of you were separated from each other?” Ivy asked.
Sabrina was speechless for a moment. Then she spoke, “Did Rhett truly love that woman?” she inquired. She wants to know the truth even do it’s painful.
“I will let you see with your own eyes what I saw in Rhett’s mind – you will be the one to judge if he betrayed you willingly or not,” Ivy responded.
“How-?”
“Close your eyes, I will share my vision in your mind so that you can also enter Rhett’s memory up to the present times,” Ivy ordered.
“Okay,” Sabrina replied and shut her eyes.
Ivy landed on Sabrina’s head and closed her eyes. She began the process of connecting her mind with Sabrina through their subconscious.
A few minutes later.
Ivy and Sabrina both saw in their minds all the things that Rhett have undergone in Leera’s hands.
After the session was completed.
Ivy and Sabrina opened their eyes at the same time.
“What did you see?” Ivy asked.
Sabrina’s eyes flashed with anger. “Amara betrayed me and it hurts so deep! And that Priestess snatched my lover against his will. She disguised as me to deceive Rhett! I’ll kill her! I’ll take away what is originally mine!” she said indignantly, seething in anger.
“So, you want your lover back? Despite knowing that he got the other woman impregnated?” Ivy asked.
“Of course! I will take him back. He didn’t love that woman, he was deceived by her!” Sabrina responded fiercely.
“Okay, I’ll help you. Let’s take Rhett back!” Ivy said.
“Can you also restore his memory, please?” Sabrina pleaded.
“Sure!” Ivy replied. “Wait a minute, now that your memories is finally restored, what is your next plan?” she asked.
“I’ll go back to my past and reconnect with the people who know me better,” Sabrina answered.
“And what about the people in your present life? How will you deal with them?” Ivy inquired.
“You mean, Aunt Cornelia and Lady Helen?”
“Yeah…”
“I will say my proper goodbye to them. I have to leave them behind – I prefer my past life better than my current life because…”
“Because of what-? Because of Rhett isn’t it?” Ivy asked.
Sabrina nodded her head and released a deep sigh. “Yeah…”
“I see… you still love him despite everything. Alright, let me know… when do you want me to accompany you in snatching your boyfriend from that adulterous Priestess?” Ivy asked.
“After I say my proper goodbye to Aunt Cornelia,” Sabrina said.
“Aren’t you upset that Lady Helen and Cornelia lied to you about your past and Amara?” Ivy asked.
Sabrina bit her lower lip in sadness. “I feel upset a little bit. But the only mistake they did is lying to me about Amara and my past. Other than that, they’re good, they treated me kindly and generously. I can’t bring myself to hate them,” she answered thoughtfully.
“Okay, if that’s your decision then I’ll support you,” Ivy said.
“Thank you,” Sabrina murmured.
“If you already want to go home, let me know,” Ivy said.
“I’ll just stay here for a while to digest all the things that happened to me. I just want to come to terms with everything slowly. So many things happened and I’m confused where to start,” Sabrina said, misty-eyed.
“Okay, just take your time. Make yourself better before we return home to the mansion. I’ll keep you safe here,” Ivy stated.
“Thank you,” Sabrina said.
Ivy flew towards the ocean, hovering in the air, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the area.
Back to Sabrina.
Fresh tears rolled on her face. She was ready to trust Amara and befriends her, but she was betrayed by her in the end, even delivering Rhett to that Priestess!
She could never forgive Amara for what she has done to her and Rhett!
Even if Amara is dead already, she would never forgive her!
What that woman did to her is painful!
Her hands formed into a fist.
That Priestess!
She will kill her if she had the chance!
Her whole body trembled with rage.
She rose to her feet and strolled the seashore, trying to calm her anger.
She scanned the whole area, it was a beautiful and serene beach.
The calmness of the surrounding somehow soothed her tired mind and spirit.
She looked at Ivy, her friend was hovering in the air nearby.
Two hours later.
Tired of everything, Sabrina is finally ready to hit her bed in the mansion. “I want to go home!”
“Okay, you’re the boss!” Ivy said and landed on Sabrina’s shoulder. “Closed your eyes… I will teleport the two of us back to the mansion,” she stated.
Sabrina obeyed and shut her eyes.
A few minutes later, they vanished from the beach.
