The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 135

The following day, even before the sun woke up, even before Rhett can open his eyes, Leera erased all his memory again.

There were tears in her eyes when she performed the process, her heart was ripped into pieces because she know that she will never hear Rhett calling her darling ever again.

Due to the toxicity of her love and obsession towards him, she is willing to turn him into a mindless person and become her lover for life. It sounds greedy and selfish – but because she loves him so much she would rather keep him as a useless person in her side than allow the restoration of his memory, causing him to remember Sabrina the woman he truly loves, leaving her and their unborn child alone in misery.

A few minutes later.

She finished erasing Rhett’s memory with a heavy heart, there was no smile of triumph on her face only sorrow and guilt.

She left the bed and walked towards the window.

After opening the window, she looked heavenward, the sun is about to rise on the horizon.

Sighing, she glanced at Rhett lying on the bed. “I’m sorry, darling…” she whispered, fresh tears sprang from her eyes.

She went back to bed and embraced her husband lovingly. “Darling, don’t worry, I will take care of you for the rest of our life. No one can take you away from me. I’ll hide you away in the basement of the mansion for your own safety.”

She shut her eyes, going back to sleep.

Two hours later.

Leera woke up and left the room to find the healer. She found her boiling sweet potatoes in a pot and at the same time roasting fish in the kitchen.

Doriaas looked at her and inquired, “You did it-?”

Leera sighed and lowered herself on the chair facing the table. “Yes, I did it but I’m not happy with it…”

Doriaas was shaking her head. “Just as I expected…” she said. “Love can make you do crazy things even if it’s against your will. Holding on to someone even if that person doesn’t love you is insanity and stupidity at its worst level…” she added.

Leera bit her lip. She can’t get mad at the healer, she was only expressing her opinion. Indeed, loving Rhett is making her obsessive, greedy and above all a person with no conscience. But it’s the first time that she had fallen in love with someone – that’s why she will do everything – bad or good just to keep him by her side forever.

There’s no turning back, she already crosses the point of no return.

Rhett will be hers forever and ever!

Half an hour later.

Doriaas finished cooking breakfast, she put the food in the serving dish and arranged them on the table. “Let’s eat…” she said.

Leera picked up the spoon and began eating.

The two women ate breakfast in silence.

After eating, Leera placed a pouch of gold coins on the table. “Thank you for accommodating me and my husband in your house, Doriaas. We will leave your residence now,” she said.

“Good luck and take care of yourself,” Doriaas said. She gathered the dirty dishes and began washing them in the sink.

Leera left the kitchen and went back to the room. Rhett was still sleeping when she returned. She gathered all her things and put them in the bag.

She put her hand on Rhett’s head and initiated the teleportation process in her mind.

A few minutes later, they vanished from the room.

Leera and Rhett resurfaced in the basement of the mansion.

Leera settled her sleeping husband on the bed. She will wait for him to wake up a few minutes from now.

Fifteen minutes later.

Rhett’s eyelids fluttered, he opened his eyes wide.

Leera smiled happily. “Darling, you finally awakened!”

Rhett stared at her, wearing a vacant look in his eyes.

Leera looked at Rhett misty-eyed. “Are you hungry, darling?” she asked.

Rhett continues looking at her with no comprehension in his eyes, not responding to her question.

Leera bit her lip. Her emotional and mental torture has just begun!

“Just wait here, darling. I’ll get you some food,” Leera said and rose to her feet.

She vanished from the room.

A few seconds later, she appeared in the kitchen, put some food on the plate, and grabbed a glass of water. She returned to the basement the same way she come to the kitchen.

When she arrived in the room in the basement, Rhett was still sitting on the bed, staring at the floor. She placed the plate and the glass of water on the table and bring Rhett there to feed him.

She noticed that Rhett ate the food obediently but didn’t attempt to do so on his own accord.

Leera sighed deeply, he is like a child now, she has to take care of him.

The price to pay for her obsession and selfishness is now beginning to take shape.

Looks like she will have to relocate here in the basement to be with Rhett so that she can take care of him all the time. The basement is also a good place to hide him from Sabrina and anyone who is looking for him.

~Laswich Mountain~

Olga visited Azere that afternoon.

They were sitting on the wooden chair facing the lake.

“How’s your investigation about Rhett and Sabrina’s whereabouts?” Azere inquired.

Olga breathed deeply. “No progress, it seemed I reached a dead end. Even the wolf’s family were going crazy trying to find him anywhere.”

“I see…” Azere murmured sadly.

“How about your situation here? The witches from the White Coven Castle didn’t disturb you?” Olga inquired.

Azere shook her head. “No. They’re wise enough to avoid this place…” she replied smugly

“And how about your lover?”

A frown appeared on Azere’s face. “Who-?”

“That guy who is killing you everyday due to the time loop?” Olga grinned. “I noticed that he is a good looking guy… the ship didn’t sail yet?” Olga joked.

Azere smiled in amusement. “You’re funny! Do you think romance will bloom between the killer and his victim? How can you fall for someone who kills you everyday?”

Olga nods her head. “Absurd indeed, but despite him killing you, he restore our youthful look. You should at least give him some credit. The reason why he didn’t turn us old again because of his guilt that he has to keep killing you everyday…”

Azere raised a brow. “So-?”

“So… it’s his way of saying sorry…” Olga said and giggled like a teenager.

Azere pinched her friend’s side. “Stop joking!”

Olga erupted in peals of laughter. “Seriously, you should invite him on a tea after he finishes choking you…”

“Enough of this nonsense! Let’s go swimming so that you stop teasing me!” Azere said and pushed Olga into the lake.

Olga yelped in surprised.

Laughing hard, Azere jumped into the water to join her friend.

The two women swam in the lake just like old times.

Olga looked at her friend. “You know what, sometimes I can’t help it…”

“What-?”

“That the reason why Sabrina and Rhett disappeared from the cave is because of Amara. I can’t get rid of my suspicion that she was the reason for their mysterious disappearance from the cave. What do you think-?” Olga asked.

Azere breathed deeply. “I also think the same way. But we don’t have any evidence so we can’t conclude that Amara is the culprit of the disappearance of Rhett and Sabrina from the cave.”

“You are right… we don’t have evidence up to now… so all we have is speculation, nothing more and nothing less,” Olga agreed with her friend’s opinion.

“Stay for dinner with me, let’s roast some fish tonight. I miss having someone to eat with me during meal times,” Azere said.

“Sure, I love to!” Olga replied with a bright smile.

The two women continue swimming in the lake for the next two hours, afterward, they retire to the house to continue their chitchat and prepare food for dinner.

~Portwell Mansion~

That night.

Amber was standing beside the window looking outside, she was waiting for Ivy’s arrival for the past two hours.

The bird told her that she will visit her tonight.

It was already 9:00 in the evening and no sign of Ivy yet.

She starts yawning, feeling sleepy all of a sudden. She left the window and returned to the bed to lie down.

A few minutes later, her eyelids were dropping fast.

Amber had fallen asleep while waiting for Ivy’s arrival.

She dreamed in her sleep.

She found herself inside a cave, the walls were made of crystals and in the center is a beautiful lake surrounded by flowering plants. The place looks like a little hidden paradise. She was confused about why she arrived at the place. She thought she was alone but suddenly she heard someone coughing behind her.

She spun around and come face to face with a stranger, wearing a black cloak and his face was covered with a hood. She looked at him in surprise. “W-who are you?”

The guy didn’t reply and walked past her.

“Hey, answer me!” Amber said.

“Follow me!” he said and continue walking into the deepest part of the cave.

She has no choice but to follow him to get some answer from him.

Then they finally reached a dead end.

“Time for you to leave this world and join me in another dimension,” the mysterious guy said.

Amber was shocked and stepped backward. “W-what do you mean?”

The guy didn’t reply, he waved his hand and a portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Amber was about to run but the guy grabbed her hand swiftly before she can move, the portal swallowed them quickly, causing them to vanish from the cave instantly.
