Chapter 63 - Donst you think I tried? (2/2)

"I want a divorce," he said straightforwardly.

F*ck Celestia's request! He's a f*ckng emperor! He can do whatever he wants!

"W-w-what?" Astrid stutters, her mind is not processing what he said. After they have been reunited this will be the first thing he will say to her?!

Her body began to quiver in fear and anger.

"D-don't joke around Logan"

An empress getting a divorce?! She will be the laughing stock of the whole empire! This will be the first time an empress will have been dethroned for love!

No emperor of Theavarian believed in such thing, for over decades they have stuck to having an arranged marriage. It should remain that way!

What Logan said did not register on her brain she can't accept it! Not this time, not forever!

She looks at the man, his face tells her clearly that he is not kidding.

'No, no, no!'

"I will never get a divorce, our parents decided this upon birth, do not make any rash decisions in exchange for temporary happiness"

'It's just lust, Logan, you will get over it soon'

Logan looked at Astrid, no emotions in his eyes.

"It's for me to decide, we will have a divorce and that's final" his words carried a heavy ground, he is damn serious.

He stands up, he will search for Celestia, his head is already hot the moment Astrid said that Celestia doesn't want to join them.

She's a tourist for f*ck's sake!

She might get lost or worse, something bad might happen to her! His heart cannot take the anxiousness anymore.

"You owe me, Logan, remember?" her voice cracked.

When Logan went missing, Astrid got into an accident in search for him!

Even when it's raining she looked every part of the forest, she drove hysterically as she continued to look for him. The reason why she only came now is because of her surgery, she will never be the same Astrid, she's damaged.

She also stood up, hugging him and preventing him from leaving.

"Stay with me please," she said meekly as she tiptoes to reach him, kissing him.

Logan did not respond to her kiss, he just stood there like a statue, his eyes with no hint of emotion.

'Let her realized that there is no point in continuing this.'

He will show mercy just this day, Astrid grew with him after all, the kid who used to bring him flowers even when he said he didn't want to.

After staying there for a while, Astrid fell asleep on the sofa as he continued typing on his laptop. He distracted his mind for a while, he's been worried for Celestia but Astrid won't let him go.

He closed the business he has been working on, his hands massaging his temple.

'Celestia make sure you are safe'

He decided to carry Astrid towards their room on the highest floor, his hands on her delicate body but his mind on Celestia.

He really needs to find her after this! His heart racing as the elevator went up.

'Can't this da*n thing hurry up?'

*Ding*

The elevator opened and he hurriedly went inside, the door automatically unlocks as it comes with the sensor.

Putting the woman gently on the king-sized bed, Logan is set off to find Celestia when Astrid's hands went up to his clothe, pulling it with her eyes still closed.

"Don't leave me Logan" she mumbles.
