The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 41

“Good thing you came in time, your sister almost got me,” Celestia said, relieved and happy at the same time. Ted is bandaging her arm up to her hands.

“I woke up to pee then I felt thirsty, I went down to drink when I noticed that Ashley’s things are already here, I know that she’s been taking up drugs, strong ones, that’s why I went in your room as soon as possible. I’m sorry about that Celie…” his voice sincere and regretful, how can he let the princess and her lover experience a gruesome event?

He knows that it may have caused Celestia a trauma…his sleep is always the reason why unwanted things happen, like that one time there was an emergency at the hospital and he is badly needed, however, he is snoring hard on his bed, comfortable and cozy as his phone beside him rang nonstop.

Good thing the hospital has more reliable doctors who responded quickly, it’s just that Ted is one of the most outstanding doctors in there, he would’ve been a great help if only he’s not a heavy sleeper.

“Aww, Ted it’s okay really, it’s not your fault that Ashley decided to do drugs, it’s not your fault that you love to sleep…hahaha,” she said, now fully recovered but Celestia’s mind is still shouting at her, screaming and making loud noises, ‘Get stronger,’

Her once pure innocent and clear emerald eyes have now a glint of danger and darkness.

“Thank you and sorry Celie, I will just take care of Ashley, I will come back after,”

After cleaning up Celestia’s wound and bandaging her hand in haste, Ted went up to Ashley downstairs, the girl is still in shock, just staring at the wall for about an hour before Zhang Yong finally arrived.

Her meek assistant is flabbergasted by the news, his heart clenched at the sight of his master, how come he didn’t notice her strange behaviors? How she stood on the front door of Ted when they arrived, how she’s been more confident than usual and how her pupils always look dilated.

He removes her coat and puts it down on Ashley’s shoulder.

“I know a great doctor who specializes in pharmacotherapy, let’s go” Ted motioned.

Zhang Yong, carried Ashley on his arms, this time in bridal style and at that moment, the girl in his arms weeps.

She knows that she doesn’t deserve any kindness from anyone yet here is Zhang Yong, carrying her just the way she wants to be, just the way she longs to feel.

Celestia and Adam were once left again alone with each other, Adam has been in the bathroom for quite some time but the drug did not subside its effect.

Celestia went inside and that supposed to be a horrible night turned into a wonderful one, as the two of them drove in ecstasy.

“I’m intoxicated by you Celestia,” he moaned as he feels her soft skin. With or without the drug, he is still addicted to her.

—

Thinking back what happened before, Celestia can only smile now, it’s been four years since Adam was forcefully taken from her…

Piles of clothes they’ve never washed together, and stories they never ended with each other.

Her golden hair danced as the wind blows, her eyes once again twinkled as the scenery unravels before her eyes, the capital of the Theavarian empire is truly majestic.

—

A battalion broke in Ted’s house, the two are now eating their breakfast, she begged them to stop from getting Adam but they never heard her plea.

She thought that the nightmare was over, that they could now live happily vanishes right before her eyes. She has forgotten that Adam is not truly hers, to begin with.

Their whirlwind romance has come to an end as the two of them tried to fight back but with no avail, lost to the group of men. They can never survive fighting fifty people, the only choice is to beg and surrender.

“What are you doing?! ADAM!” she struggled to get free as her lover gets dragged down. He looks at her one last time, his mouth moved, saying, “My heart is yours forever”

He smiled for one last time, his eyes still sparkling as tears escape his eyes.

How cruel of you to end it that way!

“ADAAAAAAAAAAM! Adam! Don’t go with them! Fuck, let me go!”

“Stop, he will not remember you when he wakes up,” the man said, by his tone of voice Celestia guessed the hard truth that lies between his words.

She’s so helpless! Weak!

He will not remember me…

‘The moments we’ve shared, everything…it will only be me to remember’

Damn destiny, damn that for breaking her heart beyond repair.

Damn herself for not being tougher, damn.

The thought shattered her heart, it repeated a thousand times on her head,

She wants to curse them relentlessly! Shout out them! But she was too weak to move, her last question…

“H-his real name, WHAT IS HIS REAL NAME?” she’s on her knees, she can only see Adam’s back and until the very end, he is still majestic, still playful…still hers.

“You will never know,” the man said as he injected her some medicine that made everything dark until she sees nothing.

Her last chance to meet him again broke into pieces, she will never know, she will never find out in this lifetime.

“W-what are you-u-”

This is the end of Adam and Eve’s story.

The forest felt like Eden’s garden, her universe in his arms, those firm arms that made her feel safe…

Now it’s time to wake up in their dream, go back to things were used to be.

She, as the first princess of Thusha Kingdom and Adam as Daxon Logan Ruwedor Fergus.

It is not the ending rather the new beginning.
