Chapitre 43: Tears of regret

Right now, Aurora wants to cry tears of regret. She never have thought she would be in this kind of circumstances. And she would have never thought the person whom was so stoic in the past can be so clingy with her. She felt like she just delivered herself to big trap and unable to get out from it. Right now, she really need the help from her brothers to distract the living octopus who refuses to let her go despite the new bruise that she just gave aside from this morning. This morning after he said some cringey sentence, she end up kicking his chair making him fell off while she ran away. And then another of the same episode happen where she end up hurting him more but he just keeps on coming back. Right now, he just ignore the fact that she's been pinching him so hard on his arm, stomach and anywhere else she can reach but he still won't let go of her. In his embrace Aurora could only resigned to her own fate. She's been trying to get away from him the whole day but somehow she always end up in his embrace. Just like what he has been doing ever since yesterday. All of her brothers went off somewhere that she don't know which meant she's stuck with him alone in this house.

They're sitting at the living room, watching television or at least trying to watch something since she's been swatting his hand from wondering without a limit. When he chose to ignore, she pinched him a couple of times before she got annoyed and bite him. And still he would not let her off. In the end she just let him do his way which pleases him and a big grin plastered on his face.

"Dear, when did you have this habit of yours? If i knew, i wouldn't have let you find me so easily. Or maybe i should torture my brother for letting you off so easily." Aurora grumbled near his chest. It's better to focus on other things rather than his grinning face. Cole chuckled causing some tremble around his chest. She was somehow mesmerize by the simple tremble.

"You won't be able to get away from me that easily now that i found you. And speaking of your brothers, they're not strong enough to stop me." Her reply, she pinched him once more. Harder but to no avail.

"Then you could at least give me space. You do realize i have plenty of work to do."

"You mean about the annual dinner? It's done. All you have to do just attend the dinner with me. And according to Zeus, you don't have to do anything else. Which mean, you'll be spending your entire day with me, love." She could hear the happiness from his tone and could imagine the big grin that seem to be tattooed on his face the entire time.

"You'll be bored to death easily before you reach 40. And you'll end up having a new 'wife'." She rebuked. She grinned before yelp. He actually pinched her waist and giving her a warning gaze.

"Don't underestimate me, wife. You'll always be the queen of my heart. The love of my life. And the one i want to grow old with. My heart beat because you're here. You're my air for me to keep on living. And it will always be you." This time Cole no longer put up the pervert face. The serious tone and his sincere look made Aurora's heart somewhat felt warm and she snuggle close to him, returning his hug. Call her naive for believing what he said but in her heart she knew he's the person who will never betray her nor cheated on her. If she worried about his past, it was mainly because his life has been manipulated for years by his so called grandfather. Seeing him like this, she wonder if he remember his own identity. The changes that she saw when he woke up this morning, even though it was only a second but she recognize the sharp look. The eyes that she once saw when she save him. Not only that, her instinct told her he remembered but he doesn't know it was her back then. She was way different back then. With a gothic look painted on her face, it's understandable if he didn't recognize her. It's laughable their fate were written the moment she save him. And it continues until this day. Why would she want to doubt when everywhere she goes and no matter how far she ran, she will always be back in his arm. In Cole's life as his wife.

"It's nice to be in your arms again." She said as she snuggle closer to him. Cole was ecstatic seeing her clinging to him more. It's nice to feel her body fitted against his. It's perfect and a torture when he could feel a small reaction on his lower part. This is not a good time to be romantic. It's daytime and her scent drives him crazy. He end up meditating just so he could give her time to truly accept him. He doesn't want to rush her and scared her at the same time. Losing her is more painful than to hold onto his need. Or so he thought.
