Chapter 92 - Family (2/2)
”Little Darling.” Malece replied.
”My...Our dear daughter wishes that you stay with her, so I am here to invite you on an adventure you will never forget. It is your lucky day, you get what you d.e.s.i.r.e and I get the same.” Simon twirled his hair around his index finger, letting out a glint of anticipation from the cold yet inviting feel of his eyes.
”That is not what I want, you know that very well. But it is my only chance to raise my daughter with the man who is her father and my husband. You are too evil.”
”I am giving you a chance to raise our daughter alongside me.”
”I know all to well that you didnt want Dahlia.” Malece glared at him with a protective gaze.
”I want her, family turns out to be the only thing I want beside power. My little Dahlia will not live a boring life in the lower realms and be bound to a USELESS ANIMAL against her will! I will not have it, I can offer her choice, you can only offer her your version of 'peace'.”
”So what will it be?”
”Will you ever love me?” Malece responded with a tearful question.
Simon answered honestly.
”If you took your time and asked for my permission, there would have been a chance.”
”But you did not leave much room for choice. You may have been kind to me after the event, but it was after I lost my choice. And now I give you a damn choice! Take it or leave it.”
”Fine. I will come along.”
”Good, as the mother of my child, I will not let anything happen to you.”
”For the sake of my dear Dahlia, please do not die. Your life means a lot to her, as her mother you have the duty of staying alive to raise her.” He reminded her with a somewhat strict tone. His gaze seemed rather determined with a glint of threat in it.
Gazing upon the bespectacled crowd, Simon could only wait. The world did not centre itself around him, he was just another person in a vast multiverse. He could not make the world bend to him, he could only make its people bend to him.
”Papa! Mama! Dahlia is scared! Dahlia don't want to be alone!” Dahlia cried as she thrusted her body into Malece's gentle embrace.
”Papa? Mama?” The sound of vast shuffling and gasps could be heard from the devils in front of them.
”Who is this child?!”
”She is with the Blood Sovereign and...”
”And?”
