Chapter 54 - THE WEDDING DAY (1/2)

Expectation is the root of all heartache.

-William Shakespeare-

”A lot of things happened, I have not looked into it yet,” Knox said, eyes staring into the distance while holding a cigarette between his fingers.

”You have not yet looked into it?” Chaos narrowed his eyes, with his arms folded in front of his chest, while his long black hair, tied behind his nape, fluttered in the night wind.

The two creatures from the same soul stood on the top of a tower in the middle of the city. No one would realize they were there, but again, who would have thought there was someone who would be in such a place.

”Yes,” Knox answered simply.

Chaos had asked him to look into the other pieces of his shattered soul and he even mentioned where Knox could look into them. It was such a clear command, but Knox neglected it too much.

It had been days and it didn't make any sense that Knox had not yet found time to look for the information, while Chaos had narrowed the scope of places that he could look into.

”Very convincing.” Chaos leaned his back against the wall behind him and looked into the distance. They looked alike, but for some reason, they were totally different. ”I can get rid of you in a matter of seconds if you are useless to me.”

Knox was ingenious to hide his true emotions, even when he heard such a threat, he didn't flinch at all. He knew that Chaos could end his life right there and then.

But then, this life was not his to begin with. He was just part of him that he could take away anytime he wanted to.

And in the end, he would meet his end, once he was the only piece of his shattered soul that was left.

”People from the Silver River pack came to me. They want to take the girl with them.” Knox sucked in his cigarette. ”She is his niece and I am sure Gael mentioned that he had come to meet him.”

”Hm, I know.” Chaos shifted his attention to Knox. He looked at him intently through his dark blue eyes that hid thousands of thoughts. ”I want information next time I see you. Don't overstep your privilege.”

And after saying that, Chaos disappeared from his sight, as if he was not there in the first place, leaving Knox with his own thoughts.

====================

Gael knew that this became a bad habit, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't sleep before he saw her first. To make sure that she was fine, that everything was all right with her and their baby.

Now, before his eyes, was Lise, sleeping soundly with her lips slightly parted, as a few locks of her hair fell on her face.

Gael caressed her head and brushed away the hair from her face to kiss her cheek. The skin under his lips was very soft and he wanted more of her.

D*mn! It was a curse for being so greedy. He was greedy for her…

Gael caressed her flat stomach and landed a kiss there, while whispering to his unborn child. ”I love you… I can't wait to see you.”

And after he finished with his routine, Gael simply disappeared into the dark. Only then did Lise open her eyes…
