The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 101

His shaking hands managed to carry the maiden in his sturdy arms. The woman’s lips turning sheet white as every second passed by, her once lively color is now resembling a withering flower.

“Drive faster! I don’t care if you break the damn rules,” he commanded, putting pressure to the driver, not even minding that he is not in his territory anymore.

He is eager to put Celestia in safety.

Who dares to put the herculean emperor of the most affluent empire?

It is only Celestia who has that power.

He can’t manage it to lose her again without having the control on what will happen next.

He hated it, the feeling of being powerless.

Logan’s heart like a drum beating loudly every second, it bounces back and forth while thumping hardly.

“Your highness, the emperor of Ainiligary empire is on the phone” Oliver who is seated beside the driver, handed the phone to Logan. His calm composure was what made him a valuable assistant to the tyrant emperor.

“Where are you?” his voice low, yet with a hint of panicked. He cannot think rationally anymore, his mind is too occupied of the possibilities, the math his brain is doing seems to have increasing the percentage of him losing Celestia again, only this time, it may last for a last time.

A life without love eh?

Sure, he lived that way, he gets used to it ever since he was a child, but now, having tasted what it feels like, having known what it can do, he never wants to let Celestia go.

Who would’ve thought that Logan Daxon Ruwedor Fergus, the creator of the miracle drug, would be here, begging all the gods to let the woman who melted the walls in his heart, be saved from death’s door.

‘Just this one,’

His eyes starting to water as he thought of what could possibly happen if he’s not there on time, if Hannibal is not on his place.

“I’m on a meeting, why?” the soothing voice of Hannibal replied in contrast to Logan’s harsh ones.

What could be the reason why his workaholic friend call in such hour?

“Celestia’s in danger, I’m in front of your company”

What Logan said shocked Hannibal. Why would Helen be with him?

“Okay, send her to the E.R” he replied hastily. The Devyn’s are known in the business world for their mastery in terms of medicine, and Hannibal being the successor, graduated from the most well-known college with a master’s degree and a PhD in medicine, majoring as a neurosurgeon.

After the call ended, Hannibal’s face darkened which caused the board members to shake in fear. Their kind emperor has never showed this kind of face!

One of the old geezers even wiped out sweat even though the room is completely air-conditioned, in his life, he knows when he sees a kind-hearted person goes mad…it’s too scary even for an old man like him.

“I’m sorry for the inconvenience but for now, let’s end the meeting”

A pause from everyone, no one dared to talk, even Mavelle, his sarcastic assistant did not interfere with the moment.

“Meeting adjourned” was what Hannibal said before hurriedly leaving the room. In his side is Mavelle Sy, a 25-year old single since birth woman. She fixed her big eyeglasses while keeping up with the speed of Hannibal.

“Where should we go?” she asked, feeling comfortable talking to the emperor of Ainiligary empire, after all, it was Hannibal who insisted to drop the formalities.

“Prepare my scrub and call the best cardiologist, Mr. Lim” he ordered using his unusual tone, it was a serious one, too serious that even Mavelle can’t help but to take this task more seriously than what she had done before.

“Consider it done” was the only thing she can say although there are thousands of words that her lips failed to render.

Someday…she’ll talk to him.

“What happened??” Hannibal asked straight to the point while putting Helen’s body on a stretcher.

“It was cold outside, I saved her from a group of men then she clutched her heart before finally fainting” Logan said, now gaining the composure he had lost earlier. He needed to be strong now more than ever. He cannot accept it if his lover will die without even recalling him…

‘I’m sorry for putting you through this’

The lips that once called her Adam, the hands that first touched his body and the smile that took his metal heart away.

‘I can’t let you go’

“You can’t go any further Logan,” it was Hannibal who stopped him.

“No, f*ck, she needs me right there!” Logan said sternly, stubbornly, although he knew that his presence will not be needed.  What’s the use of becoming the world’s renown scientist if he can’t even help in saving his beloved’s life?

“Let me handle this” the emperor of Ainiligary empire replied calmly.

“No, no, just f*cking let me in, okay?!” the Theavarian emperor cannot hold his emotions anymore, the cure he developed is really useless in the face of love. No amount of it can hide his feelings forever. Two years, he has been numb for two damn years!

And right now, having his memories recovered fully by the unravelling of time, he finally knew who Adam was…

Adam who loved Eve.

He held Hannibal’s collar, pressuring him to agree.

“I see that your memories returned, but those happened six years ago Logan, when we were all still young. Let’s talk later, but for now, act like an adult and let me do my job” Hannibal scoffed, it’s not like Logan is the only one who’s nervous! He too, feels the exactly the way Logan is feeling right now, terrified and frantic.

Like a bucket of water being splashed fully at Logan, he loosened his grip on Hannibal’s collar. His anger superseded. What was he thinking?

“Go, save her” was all he could utter before seating on one of the waiting chairs, his both hands on his head as if he lost a battle and that it caused him a castle.
