Chapter 24

After the heated encounter I made my way back to the living room, mycheeks red due to blushing.

"Okey so I'm back Lily! What was that you wanted to say?" I asked heras I sat on the couch opposite from her.

"Umm so these days when I come back from school, some men followme back home. And a man in particular, whose name is Robert Geller isalso making threats to me that he will kill my family if I don't sleep withhim..."

I noticed how her hands started to shiver and how pale her face turnedjust by talking about it.

"Luna I'm very poor. I need this job. I can't stay home and do nothing.Please help me." she pleaded.

"Okey are you sure the man's name is Robert Geller?" I asked her."Hundered percent luna.”

"Okey so don't worry. I appreciate how hard working you are and thatyou have bought this problem to me. These men have no right tothreaten you and I promise you I will look into this and nothing willhappen to you.” I smiled at her.

I noticed her hands were still shaking as she stood up and hugged me." Thank you so much luna. You don’t know how much this means tome. " she said.

Winter was approaching and the weather was getting colder.

Winter had its perks. Back home, I became extremely lazy and spent mytime laying in a blanket with some hot coffee and some Nicholassparks.

Eventhough, I was getting used to this new life I couldn't deny the factthat I missed home. I missed my family who stood with me through allthe ups and downs.

Sometimes I just sat alone and recalled all the memories I had madewith my parents and Adrian. Adrian, just his name bought a shiver inmy body. I don't know if he was alive or dead. I didn't know if he washappy or sad.

He had stood with me on my darkest days. When no one understoodme, he was the one who understood me. When I faced anxiety, he wasthe one who embraced me and when I felt ugly he was the one whotold me I was beautiful

I had failed as a best friend.

But I still had time. I could still ask Ozymandius if he was alive or notand if he was alive I really wanted to meet him just for once. Only onelast time.

I closed my eyes as I recalled him. He was the only best friend I hadhad. I missed him. I really did.

My heart raced as I stood infront of Ozymandius's office door. I wasreally scared. I was not scared about how Ozymandius would react, butI was scared that what if he told me that they had killed Adrian anddumped his body somewhere.

Just thinking about this, bought a shiver in my body and suddenly I feltextremely angry at Ozymandius. He said we were mates and we were tobe equal, then how could he do this to me? Steal the only source ofhappiness from me?

And suddenly all the nervousness vanished. I was furious. I barged intoOzymandius's office and slammed the door.

I didn't look at anyone except Ozymandius. My eyes stared directly intohis as I clenched my fists. Today would prove that did he really care forme or not?

"Everyone out!" I commanded to the men that were having aconversation with Ozymandius.

And immediately everyone left, leaving me alone with Ozymandius.

He stood up from his chair and walked towards me as I calmed mybreathing.

"What happened Amore?" he asked me as he came infront of me.

And then suddenly my hands were gripping his collar tightly, my eyesstaring directly into his.

"How can you do this to me, when you knew how much he meant tome?

Do you know his value in my heart? He was my best friend , he stoodwith me when no one did! He was the one who took me out of anxiety!He was the one who was always there for me! And you what have youdone to him! How dare you! " I screamed as I started punching him.

I heard a growl emit from him as I spoke about another man.

His hands gripped my waist tightly as he bought me closer to him. Hiseyes were golden from fury and his hands were shaking from anger."Who the fuck are you talking about?" he growled.

And that's when the tears flowed down. I just couldn't control it. Imissed him.

"Adrian, my best friend who was like a brother to me and whom youordered your men to kill!" I screamed as I tried to get away from hisgrip.

"I miss him, I fucking miss him Ozymandius!" I screamed at him

I waited for a growl, or to hear him smashing something, but nothing.Instead, he embraced me into a hug, a much needed one.

And I let the tears fall. I had kept them in me for so long, that I couldn'tanymore. And surprisingly his embrace was comforting.

"Where is he?" I asked him, as I looked at him in the eyes.

He didn't reply. He just kept staring at me with no emotion visible onhis face.

"You killed him, didn't you?" I asked him, my voice barely a whisper.But I didn't get a reply. He just kept staring at me with no emotion."Dammit Ozymandius, I fucking hate you!" I screamed, stomping myfeet on his.

And on this, I was pinned to the wall. Our bodies too close. His handswere digging holes into my wrists and his eyes were golden with fury.

I closed my eyes as he punched the wall.

"Never ever say this to me again Pearl!" he growled.

"Look at me in the eyes!" he commanded, his voice authorative.

But suddenly I was too weak to face him. My head was throbbing andthere was this pain in my chest clinging to me.

I couldn't believe he had killed Adrian. This time I was seriously hurt.On not following his command, he gently bought his hands upon mychin and moved it upward so my eyes were directly looking into his.

"I know I kidnapped you. I know all of this happened the wrong way.And trust me it wasn't my intention but I never believed I would have amate, so replaceing you made me extremely over protective of you.”

I was shocked how gentle his tone was, but it didn't do anything toreduce the hurt I was feeling.

"Ever since you came into my life, I have changed in ways I neverthought possible. You have changed me Pearl and I literally can't standyou hating me."

I shook my head, not wanting to meet his eyes because I feared I wouldbelieve him and I didn't want to do so. He had killed him, he deservedto be hated.

"Fuck I can’t do this anymore!" he growled suddenly.

I looked at him as his eyes turned golden. He raked his hands throughhis hair as he took a long breath. Our eyes connected and we keptstaring at each other, speaking without the use of words. It felt like hewanted to say something, but couldn't.

Seconds were passing like hours as he continued to battle with hismind. I just wanted to run to my room at cry at that moment but at thesame time I wanted to know what he wanted to say.

After some long seconds I convinced myself that he wasn't going totalk, so I shook my head in disappointment. I couldn't look at himanymore, it was just too much.

"He is alive.” he whispered.

I suddenly looked up at him, shocked at his words and then it was likemy body moved on its own accord and I wrapped my arms around him,seeking the comfort I so longed for.
