Chapter 97 - Part 2: Our time together (2/2)

In that instance, the emperor knew, he must become her new life in order for her to live.

"Who am I? Who are you?" she questioned, looking only in one direction, while her wrist drips a small amount of blood.

Hannibal who cannot contain to see the woman in that state said, "You are Helen, and I am Hannibal, I will always be here for you, isn't that enough? You can break anything that you see in here, but please, please...stop cutting yourself"

And that...that was the first time Helen saw Hannibal's tears, they were beautiful yet heart-wrecking, from then on, she promised to herself to stop, stop thinking about the past that has been forgotten because maybe, they were gone for a reason.

The two of them cried and that night, Helen fell asleep on his arms.

"Are you excited to meet them?" Hannibal questioned, making Helen come back in the present time.

She let out a small giggle, "Yes! I'm going to pass the interview I swear"

Helen is eager to become a daycare teacher, teaching the small children how to read and draw basic shapes is one of her dreams! She will be a great mom in the future...

Hannibal smiled softly, his gray eyes spark with pure contentment.

"I know that you would do great, I will pick you up later this evening, just wait for me," he said calmly, afraid that he will spill the beans if he's not careful enough.

Today is Helen's birthday and later, that night, his surprise for her awaits.

Unknown's Point of View

"Brother! Did Hannibal finish the reversing drug already? It's been two f*cking years" the tanned woman cursed as she questioned the man in front of her. His black suit highlighted his brown eyes.

"I don't have any news. Stop putting your nose on things that should be left as they are" his cold voice rendered the woman silent.

'Damn cure! Even my brother has forgotten how he loves his sister!'

Ever since the day Logan announced the cure throughout the Theavarian empire, the  Alutia empire followed too.

'Just you wait, I will fix things here, Celestia'

The woman stormed off the emperor's office, closing the mahogany door too fast and too loud it almost broke.

Grayson looked beyond the huge window, from where he is standing, the view is exhilarating due to the glimmering city lights but having the emotion of amazement seems to have gone too. With his one hand circling an expensive one, he thought how time passed by.

Next month, he will be wedded to a princess from a Kingdom on the West.

This time, he must bid Astrid one last goodbye.

After all, they can't continue fucking together behind Logan's back.
