Chapter 231 - Be With Me (2/2)

As it turns out, Elizabeth met JoJo in her dazed state. They both were in a place where no battles took place. Where Elizabeth did not have to leave him alone with his grandmother while battling the demons and never returning. As happy as Elizabeth felt, the wave of guilt that washed her heart was too hard to bear for her. Even if she spent some time with JoJo when he returned to her life due to a chance meeting with Caesar, she still couldn't bring herself to speak these words out loud— Did you miss me, son?

She had no right to say these words.

'Hmm... I... am worried for him.'

Elizabeth whispered into Nik's consciousness while Nik nodded in understanding.

”He is going towards the other mountain, right? I'll look him up in a few days... I still have some task left outside the village.”

”No, I want to go.” Elizabeth shook her head and took a deep breath before smiling as the streaks of tears still marred her face, ”I had this feeling of... I don't know how to put it in words.

I just don't want to stretch the lie any longer. I'll face the consequences myself.”

”And if you thought that you'll face anything alone, then I must bed you real good once again to make it clear.

I won't let you be alone any longer. So, do what you have to do.”

Nik cupped Elizabeth's cheeks with a smile and gently pecked her lips before gazing at Yuriko while mentally speaking to Elizabeth, 'You wanna join in this time?'

Elizabeth's expression flipped a 180 and she pushed Nik with her cheeks flared.

”That's the only thing in your mind, isn't that right, mister?”

”Of course.” Nik smiled and brought Elizabeth closer to pinch her lower cheeks in a swift motion before whispering.

”I'll meet you after I'm done here... As for that thing you just said, we'll leave in five days, how does that sound?”

Elizabeth nodded before gazing back at Yuriko and smiling with a hint of lethargy and pity and then, finally making her way out.

”So? What did you see?”

Nik smiled and closed the distance between the two and sat in front of her while Yuriko scooched back while shaking her head.

”I am sorry... I can't do this anymore. Whatever we had between each other, let's just call it an appreciation for one another.” Yuriko's whisper barely echoed in the hut as Nik smiled and leaned forward.

”You saw your husband... and your daughter, Saya. You three were together, happy. It was a sunny day.” As Yuriko's expression grew worse, Nik grew closer and lowered his voice steadily, ”You three enjoyed a warm and happy picnic. Nothing to break the family apart. No responsibilities, no work... no family dispute.”

Tilting his head, Nik brought his lips closer to Yuriko's ears, ”You want to love your husband, don't you? As loyal as you were as a wife...

You couldn't bring yourself to love a man whose entire life was filled with politics that may very well taint your own innocent daughter.”

”Noooooo!!!”

Yuriko snarled and opened her jaws to finally showcase her abilities as an enraged demoness only for Nik to suddenly whisper, ”You can still have that. A life with your daughter. And...

You are still capable of loving a man. An able man, at the very least.”

”Shut up!”

”A man that can make you quiver in a single touch.” Nik softly kissed Yuriko's earlobe as her body shivered while getting defensive and shrinking into a ball as Nik continued advancing.

”No, shut up! You know nothing about me! Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!”

Yuriko's hands felt helpless as she couldn't even muster any energy to push Nik's body as he softly bit on her earlobe, ”A man that can make you feel accomplished as a lover, a respected wife and a wonderful mother.”

”Stay away from me!” Yuriko's lips quivered while her thoughts grew into a chaotic and twisted whirlpool that only wished to register Nik's touches, his kisses.

”I am done holding back, you know.” Nik's arms gently covered Yuriko's back as he continued whispering, ”So, as selfish as it sounds— Be with me...

That is not an option.”

It wasn't an option, indeed.

It was Nik's wish that he wanted, nay, needed to fulfill.
