Chapter 53 - Revelation (2/2)

However, like what most of the drugs he invented, this drug also has its side effects and lapses, in exchange to recover his memory once again, he will not remember the new ones he made, making him forget all his memories with Celestia.

"...then a group of men went and kidnapped you," she said, ending the flashback.

It's one of the stories she will never get tired of repeating.

"You know that the emperor of Theavarin empire doesn't believe in love right?" his voice, conniving and dark yet still gentle.

As if asking Celestia if she's willing to take the risk...

She slightly nodded, this is a fact known to all.

"I will give you a chance to prove that such a thing exists, five months, that will be your time limit"

Celestia's heart thumped loudly, everything seems to stop at that moment.

How can she have a chance when he's already...

"B-But aren't you m-married?" she asked, her heart aching as she remembers how she discovered that Adam is Logan, the headline states it all, with his face on TV and a dazzling woman beside him, good thing the twins are asleep when she decided to turn it on.

Celestia's intention is pure, she just wants to confirm everything to Logan at least, let him know that there's a time where they were happy together as two different persons. Who knew they would end up sinning?

Sinning? Back then, it's called making love.

It's hard to accept that the twins are illegitimate, and she, a mistress, she never dreamed to be a home-wrecker.

She can't help but feel pity for Aiden and Eden, they deserve a happy family, a warm one.

"It's just a contract between two families, arranged by the former emperor," he said referring to his father, his voice is low and his eyes quite in a panic, the lady is almost close to crying again!

If what Celestia said is true, then he knows that marriage for her is a big deal unlike for him, it's a mere paper, easily torn.

Heck, he never shared a room with that woman whom the whole empire regard as empress! He even lives separately from her.

Logan's hand went up to her waist, initiating that she gets on him, Celestia did it with questioning eyes, her hair falling down on her face as their eyes met.

A masterpiece indeed.

"Prove to me that you are worthy and damn, I'll fight the whole Empire for you" he said sincerely as their lips finds its way to another.
