Chapter 24
Chapter 24
After the heated encounter I made my way back to the living room, my cheeks red due to blushing.
"Okey so I'm back Lily! What was that you wanted to say?" I asked her as I sat on the couch opposite
from her.
"Umm so these days when I come back from school, some men follow me back home. And a man in
particular, whose name is Robert Geller is also making threats to me that he will kill my family if I don't
sleep with him..."
I noticed how her hands started to shiver and how pale her face turned just by talking about it.
"Luna I'm very poor. I need this job. I can't stay home and do nothing. Please help me." she pleaded.
"Okey are you sure the man's name is Robert Geller?" I asked her.
"Hundered percent luna."
"Okey so don't worry. I appreciate how hard working you are and that you have bought this problem to
me. These men have no right to threaten you and I promise you I will look into this and nothing will
happen to you." I smiled at her.
I noticed her hands were still shaking as she stood up and hugged me.
" Thank you so much luna. You don't know how much this means to me. " she said.

Winter was approaching and the weather was getting colder.
Winter had its perks. Back home, I became extremely lazy and spent my time laying in a blanket with
some hot coffee and some Nicholas sparks.
Eventhough, I was getting used to this new life I couldn't deny the fact that I missed home. I missed my
family who stood with me through all the ups and downs.
Sometimes I just sat alone and recalled all the memories I had made with my parents and Adrian.
Adrian, just his name bought a shiver in my body. I don't know if he was alive or dead. I didn't know if
he was happy or sad.
He had stood with me on my darkest days. When no one understood me, he was the one who
understood me. When I faced anxiety, he was the one who embraced me and when I felt ugly he was
the one who told me I was beautiful.
I had failed as a best friend.
But I still had time. I could still ask Ozymandius if he was alive or not and if he was alive I really wanted
to meet him just for once. Only one last time.
I closed my eyes as I recalled him. He was the only best friend I had had. I missed him. I really did.
❤ ❤ ❤
My heart raced as I stood infront of Ozymandius's office door. I was really scared. I was not scared
about how Ozymandius would react, but I was scared that what if he told me that they had killed Adrian
and dumped his body somewhere.
Just thinking about this, bought a shiver in my body and suddenly I felt extremely angry at Ozymandius.
He said we were mates and we were to be equal, then how could he do this to me? Steal the only
source of happiness from me?
And suddenly all the nervousness vanished. I was furious. I barged into Ozymandius's office and
slammed the door.
I didn't look at anyone except Ozymandius. My eyes stared directly into his as I clenched my fists.
Today would prove that did he really care for me or not?
"Everyone out!" I commanded to the men that were having a conversation with Ozymandius.
And immediately everyone left, leaving me alone with Ozymandius.
He stood up from his chair and walked towards me as I calmed my breathing.
"What happened Amore?" he asked me as he came infront of me.
And then suddenly my hands were gripping his collar tightly, my eyes staring directly into his.
"How can you do this to me, when you knew how much he meant to me?
Do you know his value in my heart? He was my best friend , he stood with me when no one did! He
was the one who took me out of anxiety! He was the one who was always there for me! And you what
have you done to him! How dare you! " I screamed as I started punching him.
I heard a growl emit from him as I spoke about another man.
His hands gripped my waist tightly as he bought me closer to him. His eyes were golden from fury and
his hands were shaking from anger.
"Who the fuck are you talking about?" he growled.
And that's when the tears flowed down. I just couldn't control it. I missed him.
"Adrian, my best friend who was like a brother to me and whom you ordered your men to kill!" I Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
screamed as I tried to get away from his grip.
"I miss him, I fucking miss him Ozymandius!" I screamed at him
I waited for a growl, or to hear him smashing something, but nothing. Instead, he embraced me into a
hug, a much needed one.
And I let the tears fall. I had kept them in me for so long, that I couldn't anymore. And surprisingly his
embrace was comforting.
"Where is he?" I asked him, as I looked at him in the eyes.
He didn't reply. He just kept staring at me with no emotion visible on his face.
"You killed him, didn't you?" I asked him, my voice barely a whisper.
But I didn't get a reply. He just kept staring at me with no emotion.
"Dammit Ozymandius, I fucking hate you!" I screamed, stomping my feet on his.
And on this, I was pinned to the wall. Our bodies too close. His hands were digging holes into my wrists
and his eyes were golden with fury.
I closed my eyes as he punched the wall.
"Never ever say this to me again Pearl!" he growled.
"Look at me in the eyes!" he commanded, his voice authorative.
But suddenly I was too weak to face him. My head was throbbing and there was this pain in my chest
clinging to me.
I couldn't believe he had killed Adrian. This time I was seriously hurt.
On not following his command, he gently bought his hands upon my chin and moved it upward so my
eyes were directly looking into his.
"I know I kidnapped you. I know all of this happened the wrong way. And trust me it wasn't my intention
but I never believed I would have a mate, so finding you made me extremely over protective of you."
I was shocked how gentle his tone was, but it didn't do anything to reduce the hurt I was feeling.
"Ever since you came into my life, I have changed in ways I never thought possible. You have changed
me Pearl and I literally can't stand you hating me."
I shook my head, not wanting to meet his eyes because I feared I would believe him and I didn't want
to do so. He had killed him, he deserved to be hated.
"Fuck I can't do this anymore!" he growled suddenly.
I looked at him as his eyes turned golden. He raked his hands through his hair as he took a long
breath. Our eyes connected and we kept staring at each other, speaking without the use of words. It felt
like he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Seconds were passing like hours as he continued to battle with his mind. I just wanted to run to my
room at cry at that moment but at the same time I wanted to know what he wanted to say.
After some long seconds I convinced myself that he wasn't going to talk, so I shook my head in
disappointment. I couldn't look at him anymore, it was just too much.
"He is alive." he whispered.
I suddenly looked up at him, shocked at his words and then it was like my body moved on its own
accord and I wrapped my arms around him, seeking the comfort I so longed for.
