Married To The Devil'S Son 2 (SAMPLE)

Chapter 85: Vol2 Chapter 25

I lay in bed with Lucian while watching the clouds outside the window. He was sleeping while I was trying to figure out what the clouds looked like. One of them looked like a butterfly while the other looked like a scared ghost.

A scared ghost? That was funny but I didn't laugh or smile.

When I was younger, every time I felt sad I would watch the clouds. They would move, mix together and look like some funny creature that would make me laugh. I guess it didn't work anymore. Despite being happy that I was finally with Lucian I was still sad somehow.

Earlier he had told me to tell him everything, but as I started telling him I saw too much guilt and pain in his eyes, so I stopped.

"Why did you stop? Tell me." He said.

"Lucian, me telling you everything won't help you at all. It will only add to your confusion. It's better that you take your time and remember on your own. I will help you."

He looked at me hesitantly for awhile. "Alright, but just tell me one thing."

I nodded.

"What do I mean to you?"

I was surprised by the question. Of everything he could ask, of everything he probably wondered, I was surprised that he asked that particular question. Even if he didn't remember he still cared. He cared about whether he meant something to me or not.

"You mean everything to me. I loved you even when I hated you. I trusted you even when I doubted you. I was scared of you yet I felt the safest with you. It doesn't make sense right? But then again nothing made ever sense with you. Even when I disliked you, doubted you and feared you I still fell in love with you. Do you know why?"

He just looked at me. "Because you are Lucian, man of light, my light. You have brought so much brightness into my life that I was unable to see anything else. I could just see your light and your love and I can still see it now."

A tear fell down his cheek and I wiped it away with my thumb. I didn't realize that I was crying too before he wiped a tear away from my face as well. Then he drew me into his arms and hugged me tightly.

"I am sorry I can't remember."

"It's alright." Maybe it was for the better. I feared that if he remembered he wouldn't forgive himself. Still, some part of me, the selfish part of me wished that he would remember. I didn't want to be the only one remembering all the precious moments we had together.

He drew me closer and as I lay in his arms he had gone to sleep quickly as if he hadn't had any sleep for days. And there I lay watching the clouds, happy and sad at the same time until he woke up again.

He squinted his eyes at me, "How long did I sleep?"

"Not very long." I smiled. "You seemed really tired?"

He nodded. "I have been unable to sleep since..." He stopped as if he was about to say something he shouldn't. "...for a long time." He then proceeded. "But strangely everytime you are with me I am able to sleep well."

"I am glad." I smiled.

"Hazel, it's not safe for you here. I will find a way to take you out of here."

"You don't have too. I can leave myself, but...but can't you come with me? I don't want to lose you again."

I knew he wouldn't agree but it was worth trying.

"There are things I need to take care of." He said.

"Do you really have to? Can't you just forget everything and start anew with me?"
