Chapter 535 - I Will Never Let You Go (1/2)

Alaric immediately realized that Aleksis was now no longer the girl he got acquainted with and married ten years ago. Everything he knew about her was wrong. He had assumed Aleksis was an ordinary human, when in fact she was also an immortal like himself.

And now, ten years later, the girl already had a child and was going to marry another man. He looked for Aleksis to stop her from marrying Nicolae. But now, when he saw them appear before him and realized how happy their little family was, he felt so evil and selfish, as if he suddenly appeared before her only to ruin her happiness.

But ... but what about his own happiness?

Aleksis disappeared 10 years ago, and he did terrible things to look for her. It led to the death of Kurt Van Der Ven, her father's right hand. For ten years, he thought Aleksis had died. For years he searched for information about her grave without success, until finally, he gave up ...

All that made him suffer and underwent 10 years of misery.

Yet here was Aleksis, seemingly leading a happy life with someone else …? She even had a child with another man?

Alaric didn't know how he managed to stop himself from going berserk and killing everyone in the library at the time. Or maybe ... maybe it was because he couldn't bear to see Vega's adorable face staring at him with her witty eyes. He was still thinking the child was Altair.

Alaric closed his eyes and frowned in extreme pain. After taking a deep breath once, he then opened his eyes, looked away and walked out of the library with long strides. He did not pay any heed to the confusion shown by the people he left behind.

”What is up with him?” muttered Nicolae in puzzlement. Aleksis did not respond to his question. She just stared at Alaric's back, which went even further and further away.

His voice sounded familiar. From the looks of it, his body also looked very familiar ... Who was this guy really? Her heart kept asking herself.

Subconsciously two drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. Not long after, she could no longer hold her feet from running after Alaric. She must know ...

She must make sure ...

”Aleksis!” called Nicolae. He and Vega looked at each other in surprise. Both of them rushed after Aleksis.

Sophia looked at everything that happened with a smirk. Finally ... the moment she had been waiting for had arrived. Soon everything would turn into chaos.

At present, only Sophia and Alaric were aware of what really happened. Apart from the two of them, no one knew that Alaric Rhionen was Aleksis' husband and he was still alive. That woman must be chasing Alaric in confusion, Sophia thought while wearing a satisfied expression.

Aleksis' tears flowed even harder when she arrived at the garden next to the library but did not find Alaric. The man had walked very fast and now disappeared from her sight. Frantically, she ran towards the lake, hoping Alaric would be there so she could find him.

Nicolae and Vega arrived a little later as the man had to adjust to the slow pace of the young child walking with him. When they arrived at the garden, they did not see anyone. In the end, they decided to walk towards the main building, looking for Aleksis.

***

Alaric was very angry and had to exert all his sanity to not destroy all the objects around him as he walked with long strides towards the lake. Today, his world had been turned upside down mercilessly. He suddenly learned that the only girl he loved was not only still alive, but also as immortal as he was.

Unfortunately, Aleksis was already moving on and having a new life without him. His heart was conflicted. There was the feeling of relief because Aleksis was still alive, and the feeling of hate because he felt cheated, also feeling of guilt because he himself disappeared for 10 years, and the feeling of jealousy towards seeing Aleksis happy with another man.

He did not know how to act. He did not know whether to tell Aleksis who he was and ask her to return to him, or consider each other dead and forget about the past. He was very jealous ... Aleksis already had a child with her future husband ...

Alaric looked at his reflection in the lake and he was shocked by how flat his expression was. His mind was already churning like a volcano ready to erupt, yet for some reason, his face looked cold and unaffected.

He subconsciously touched his cheek as if to make sure the person in the reflection of the lake was him. He felt upset because he felt that he could not even recognize himself.
