Chapter 89 - I love you (2/2)

"H-hubby" she cried harder, Celestia thought she can no longer cry but guess what? Her tears seem to be infinite when it comes to Logan. Her hands gripped his clothes.

"Call me that one more time and I will slit your throat," he said with no hint of humor. Not only he is an emperor, he too also rules the underground business. He can take away anyone's life with his own hands.

This line made Celestia's knees wobble...

What is this feeling?

Fear?

Sadness?

or

Remorse?

'You need not to slit me in the throat to cause me pain'

'Using only your words Logan, you already killed me hundreds of times'

"Stay still," the emperor said as the large injection went on Celestia's arm. She did not even notice that she's already seated on one of the glass chairs and is being injected by him, by Logan...by Adam.

This is the same man who promised to protect her, to cherish her, and to love her.

"I guess, promises are meant to be broken" she smiled, forcefully.

'Until the end Logan I wish for you to see me smiling for the next time we meet, I will not even glance at you.'

CELESTIA'S POINT OF VIEW

When I was with Adam, I fought hard, I know our time is limited back then for he doesn't know who he was, I know back then, he needed to return to where he came from.

His words seem to echo in my mind.

( Flashback )

"What about me? What if you forget me?" Celestia said while pouting.

'Would you look for me?'

Adam gazed at her face, even more, his eyes piercing through her soul, "How could I forget the one person who completed me?"

Their eyes on each other as their hearts beat on the same rhythm.

"We do not know what will happen, just in case that you' ll have another memory loss, promise me that once you remembered everything, you'll search for me"

Celestia knows it is ridiculous to make a promise that he too, can also forget but she still did it anyway so that when his memories came back, he will remember this day, the day he promised her.

Adam smiled at Celestia, imitating her and raising his pinky. Their couple ring reflects as the few lights pass through it, the engraved letters, Adam and Eve...

(End of flashback)

I wanted to shout my frustrations but I can't, my body is too numb to move... I'm drowning away.

It's too unfair to be the only one who's remembering everything.

Logan if only you knew.

My eyes went blurry and your sinfully handsome face is my last memory.

All I wish is that you take care of our children, Aiden and Eden...the proof that once, we did really love each other unconditionally.

That once in this lifetime, you get to be mine...

"I love you"  were my last words.
