The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 310
Various thoughts raced through Mischa’s mind, it made his head which had started to cool down become hot again.
“Ahh … Vega, I hope you will make the best decision,” muttered Mischa softly.
“Mischa ….”
The handsome man suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Vega’s hoarse voice nearby. He immediately turned his head and found the girl standing in front of him, looking at him with sunken eyes and an expression filled with sadness.
“Vega …? What’s wrong?” asked Mischa. He immediately reached out his hand and held Vega’s arm. His heart ached to see the sad expression on the girl’s face.
Mischa wanted to hug her and wipe her tears, but he was afraid that his actions would be considered inappropriate for a woman who had become someone’s wife. Hence he was forced to restrain himself.
“Mischa …” said Vega again. Her voice was hoarse and filled with grief.
She took Mischa’s hand and then sat beside the young man. Their eyes locked when their faces were now at such a close distance. “I’m sorry, you lost your girlfriend because of me … They killed her cruelly … because of me …”
Since the first time she learned that the woman that Mischa loved was killed by the people who kidnapped her, Vega felt a deep sense of guilt for her foster brother.
While spending a lot of time with Mischa, she could see how much Mischa loved Lisa. Even years after her death, he hadn’t looked for a replacement for her.
In his heart, there was only Lisa and her position was irreplaceable in his life.
Vega remembered that Lisa taught Mischa to cook. She was the woman who had changed Mischa’s life into a better one.
Now, the guilt became even more intense when Vega realized that the person responsible for Lisa’s death was Ren, her own husband.
As Ren’s wife, Vega felt responsible for everything that had happened. She felt very guilty for the suffering Mischa had been through so far.
Mischa immediately understood what Vega was thinking. He shook his head many times and squeezed Vega’s hand that was in his. “Vega … Don’t say that! You’re completely innocent. Don’t blame yourself. You too are a victim in this entire incident.”
“But… if it wasn’t for me… they wouldn’t have killed her and tortured you…” Vega cried again. “If everything didn’t happen the way it was, you must be able to live a happy life with her.”
Mischa bit his lip when he heard Vega’s words. In fact, everything that Vega thought was not true at all. Before Lisa was killed, she and Mischa were no longer lovers. Lisa broke up with him because she didn’t want to marry a man who had a dark past.
Even though he had tried his best to change Lisa’s mind to take him back, Mischa still couldn’t make Lisa return to him.
Their relationship was over and Mischa was already heartbroken. Actually, if Lisa didn’t die, maybe she would have lived happily with another man and not with Mischa.
“You’re wrong, Vega … Lisa and I were no longer lovers when she died. The villains just caught her to trap me and distract me from you. Lisa didn’t want to accept me because of my dark past and whatever I did to persuade her to come back to me didn’t work at all…”
Finally, Mischa told Vega the entire truth. He did not want her to continue harboring the guilt over the crimes her husband had done.
First of all, Lisa’s death wasn’t her fault but it was Ren and Karl’s fault. Secondly, even if Lisa was still alive now, she still wouldn’t marry Mischa.
Vega was stunned at Mischa’s words. She did not know this information at all. At first, she thought Mischa and Lisa had a very good relationship and that they would get married before the murder took place.
It turned out…. She was wrong all this time.
She stared at Mischa with rounded eyes and her hands pressed against her lips. She did not expect this at all.
“Is … is that true?” asked Vega in a barely audible voice.
Mischa nodded firmly. “That’s true. So don’t think about it. You better think about yourself now. I’m fine.”
Their two pairs of eyes met. This was the first time Vega went to sit alone with Mischa and talk to him heart to heart since she returned to her family.
In the past, when she was still working as this man’s personal assistant, they would often sit together in the office and in the penthouse to talk about everything. Vega always admired her boss and was grateful to him for being very nice to her.
Ahh… she remembered the various videos from Tatiana that she saw when she and her friends were in Bordeaux and she was chasing Mischa. She remembered that Altair said she liked Mischa very much.
Now, Vega could imagine how she felt about this man in the past. It felt embarrassing when she looked back at the videos, but she understood why she liked Mischa when she was younger. This man was very kind and charming.
If she had never been kidnapped and tricked into falling in love and marrying her captor, maybe now Vega would have fallen in love with Mischa.
Unfortunately, she would never know that path of life.
Six years had passed and everyone’s lives had changed a lot.
“I’m glad you’re home now,” said Mischa with a smile, trying to hold back the tears forming in his eyes. “Now, you have to live well. Think about what you want to do in the future. Don’t think about other people’s feelings. The most important thing is you and your life only.”
Vega looked down.
“Father asked me to make a decision to determine what to do with my husband …” said Vega. “I shut myself in my room to think, but the more I think, the more I feel restless and sad. That’s why I came out through my terrace to get some fresh air. That’s when I found you here …”
“Hmm …” Mischa nodded, “I think we both need fresh air.”
“If you were me … what would you do?” asked Vega suddenly. Her questions startled Mischa a bit.
He did not think that the girl would ask his opinion on this matter.
“Why did you ask me?” asked Mischa.
“Because you are also a victim … and because you have a dark past, so you can see both sides,” replied Vega. “Ren begged me for a second chance. He said that my father was also a very bad person in the past, but he changed because he got a second chance. Ren said that from now on, he will atone for his sins and devote his life to make me happy …”
Mischa swallowed hard when he heard the words uttered by Vega.
“Mischa … if at that time Lisa gave you a second chance and accepted you … how would you feel?” asked Vega earnestly.
Mischa closed his eyes and held his breath as the difficult question was asked.
Vega was right.
He did have a dark past that prevented him to move forward in his relationship. And in the past, he really had hoped that Lisa would understand where he came from.
He wished that the girl would understand that his dark life as an assassin was not the life he wanted and that Mischa deserved a second chance.
Now, Ren was in the same position as himself before. Ren also begged Vega to give him a second chance.
Did Ren not deserve a second chance to atone for his sins to Vega and make her happy for the rest of her life?
