Chapter 86 - Darling’s Reconciliation (1) (2/2)
”Stop complaining. If an old man of 1000 years of age forced you onto his bed when you were only 16, how would you feel?”
The room became silent again and Malece looked down to her feet. She remembered that the situation was true, and she would probably be feeling the same way as Simon if it had happened to her. She did in fact feel guilt for what she did, but she had hoped that her actions in making Simon feel at home would encourage him to forgive her for her actions. She had started to feel a warmth in her heart for him, and now she felt as though she was too late.
”You even justified yourself rather than giving a sincere apology. You actually bound myself to you for all eternity. How am I supposed to feel?”
Malece looked towards Simon and decided on what must be done.
”Little darling, I regret what I did to you. I wish that you would forgive me so we can move forward. I was wrong and did something to you that is heinous and deprived you of your innocence. However, I can tell that you are definitely not 16 years of age.”
Simon looked at her and smiled. He may not be 16 mentally, he may have even lived for the same amount or more than her. But he did not appreciate what she had done to him. However, he did feel like the apology was enough for him to move forward.
”So you admit that you were wrong?” Simon asked.
”I admit that I was wrong. Please just acknowledge me as your loving wife. I want what is best for you and I.”
”Is that so?”
”I may have met you by chance, but I d.e.s.i.r.e you by choice.” She answered.
”Then you are partially forgiven. You finally developed some empathy, I admire that. You do not try to justify what you did anymore, I also admire that. I hate those that think I will not punish them, but you do not seem to care about being punished. It may be because you have power, but it may also be because you feel guilt. Is so, do you truely love me? Or are you just feeling guilty?” Simon finally asked.
”I do not know...”
”So you are not attracted by this outward appearance or power?”
”No.”
”I am not just a tool for you to become stronger?”
”No.”
”I am your equal?”
”Yes.”
”How long were you going to hide that child in your w.o.m.b?”
