Chapter 117 - He Knew (1/2)

Dmitri didn't answer her. Instead, he ran towards the lake, and leaping high into the air, he plunged into it. Adrianna laughed at her husband who was getting more and more dramatic with each and every day. Instead of following him, she sat on the stony outcrop where she often laid.

Dmitri swum to the floor of the lake and after searching for a while, picked something up that he had dropped inside the lake on that day as he had promised himself that he would only get it when she accepted him.

Dmitri emerged from water after a long time - long enough to make Adrianna nervous. When he came out, he was holding a beaded necklace in his hand, much to her surprise.

”Where did you find that Dmitri?” she asked.

Dmitri came near her and put it around her neck. He kissed her forehead, embraced her, and said, ”I have been wearing this necklace ever since my childhood - ever since I could remember. I threw it in the lake that night when you came out here to vent out your frustration.”

Astonished at his words, Adrianna released herself from his embrace and said, ”Which night Dmitri?”

He smiled. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he said, ”When the light that came out of your body was thrown onto the surface of the lake and it glistened.”

Adrianna gasped. ”You know about my- my-,” she stuttered.

”I know about your magic,” he completed her sentence.

Shocked, Adrianna stepped back a little as her hand covered her mouth. When she found her voice, she asked, ”Since when?”

”That day when you had run to this place in the night, I followed you. I didn't know why you ran here, but I could feel your anger Adri. So I just followed you. Ever since I met you, I have never been able to stay away from you. I followed you everywhere…

”Sorry, if I sound like a stalker, but that's what happened to me when I imprinted on you… Not having you around me made me mad, and I had no choice but to be with you.

”That day when you came here, I was afraid that you would put yourself in danger - being alone and coming to an unknown spot - but I had never expected for you to know magic. It was a surprise for me. You became so exhausted afterwards and fell asleep on this stony outcrop. I laid beside you…”

Adrianna was finding it all very hard to believe. ”Then why did you hide all this from me?” she asked. This was such a huge secret that she had been keeping to herself, and Dmitri already knew about it.
