Bab 75: Chapter 74
Transition space in between the two dimensions…
Ethera's pov;
Where am I? Everything is blank, there nothing around me.
"Ethera?" I look to my side and see Avery.
"Oh thank goodness. I thought I was stuck in some weird dimension alone" I say while hugging her. This is the first time we are face to face and even touching each other , it is a very interesting feeling.
Avery does not hug me back so I pull back and ask her what is wrong.
"Why don't you hug me back? This is the first hug we have ever shared" I am confused why is she acting like this?
Has life in the harem been hard for her and so she is not in the mood?
"Avery talk to me" She sighs and looks in my eyes with tears in hers.
"Ethera I messed up" she sobs.
My reflex makes me hug her to comfort her,
"Shhh , what happened? Is it the Queen?" I ask.
She shakes her head and pulls away from the hug.
That's the second time.
"I kissed him Ethera" she says.
"Who?" I ask confused.
"Tobias" my heart stops , she kissed him? Why would she-
"It was in the moment, we were at the beach and he leaned in and kissed me" she explains.
"Oh if that is the case then it is okay , he thought it was me so he did what felt natural to him . I don't expect you to refuse because that would hinder my relationship with him" I say , it is not her fault why is she panicking?
She walks in circles for a while then faces me,
"No Ethera , I let him kiss me because I like him or at least in the moment I did . He made me feel loved and safe to open my heart to him , I know it is wrong because he is yours but in the moment I just thought of how much I craved such feelings after the betrayal I went through because of my ex.
I am so sorry it had to happen at the expense of our deal , I feel so bad Ethera" she says not meeting my eyes. She feels shameful and she should be.
"Avery do you realize the gravity of what you just said??" I yell , no this is not possible, she couldn't have done that to me. Not her.
"Do you know what I have been doing while in New York? And what about Eric huh? Do you know how much time I have been spending trying to make sure Eric and you have a prosperous future together? He did so many things for you , so many things to gain back your trust and be there for you like the sweet guy he is. And what did you do? You went behind his back and fell for another!"
"I know , I am so sorry , to him even more. I really didn't mean to hurt anyone Ethera. I would never do it on purpose but I can't control my feelings, what do you want me to do? I know I can not have a future with Tobias because he is destined to be with you but I just wanted to enjoy just a moment of joy with the man I learned to love"
*slap , I slap her.
"You disgust me Avery . I was so wrong to trust you with my life. You are not the loyal friend I thought you were" I turn back not wanting to look at her no more.
"Please Ethera, don't" she pleads with me but I can not trust her words no more.
"After we go back to our respective places don't expect me to let you in Alba ever again. I know we can not destroy the bond for it will kill us but I refuse to make anymore space for you in my life , I think you have taken enough" I say bitterly.
I shed a tear because I am sad to have lost a friend but more because I got betrayed by the one other person I accepted in my life as a friend.
Before Avery can say anything else we are pulled further apart from each other into different storms and I knew that was the last time we were to ever see each other.
And just like that we were each back in our own stories , in our own eras.
Goodbye Avery.
