Chapter 941 My Beautiful Monster Part 42
LUCIFER
Norah definitely wouldn't like the idea of him leading a criminal organisation. Nor would she approve of the harem in his ho, and the depravity he encourages from his n. She would judge him, and there is a high chance that she will be too disgusted to even look let alone speak with him. The current her, Sumire, is already disgusted with the stories she hears about him and other won. If the current her learns about everything else-
'I didn't think this through. When I accepted the darkness in this life. I didn't think of the consequences. I assud that she wouldn't be able to see again. But, she saw . She spoke to --'
Lucifer?
Husband?
Hearing her voice in his head, he spoke up. "I'm fine, my heart."
Sumire looked at him sceptically but nodded. Even without words, Lucifer understood that even if she didn't know what he was thinking. At the very least, Sumire knew, she sensed his unease.
She suddenly placed her fingers on his neck. "This mark, it's the sa as mine isn't it?"
Lucifer nodded.
"I want you to explain these markings. I have been doing so reading in the library, and I've read a lot about bargains that lead to tattoos like we have. But that's not what this is right? Talking into each other's minds, and understanding each other's emotions. There is more to it, right?"
Lucifer blinked startled. She was half rambling, but there was a serious glint in her eyes. He wonders how long she has been wanting to ask these questions.
"I ntioned that you were my blood-bound partner before, haven't I?"
Sumire nodded and Lucifer reached over and brushed a loose stray hair back from her face. She was looking at him with a serious and yet curious glint in her eyes which made him smile.
"A blood bound partner is stronger than a soulmate. Because it is an improved version of the soul bond. While soulmates have been described as the other half of a person's soul, described as having a complete understanding of each other. Blood bound partners share everything, their blood, thoughts and their souls follow each other to the next life. While there is a risk of soulmates eting others and falling in love, blood bound partners only have each other. They will never truly feel whole without one another." Lucifer explained.
At those words a look of understanding flashed through her eyes. "That's why you haven't married anyone else. Why you have only had flings and not another relationship."
Lucifer nodded. "Even if I tied myself to another person, what good would it have done?"
"So, I'm yours?" Sumire asked softly.
His heart was beating so fast. He never thought he would be having this conversation with her in this life. Even though he made his intentions to bring her to his side since she was a child. He never thought he would get a proper chance to do so. If he truly wanted to take her away, he would have done so sooner.
Maybe she doubts him? All of this would sound unbelievable to a normal person.
"My husband?" Sumire said, leaning closer. Her scent caught his attention. She slls like sunshine and feels like light.
"Yes, you are mine and I am yours."
Sumire is quiet for a mont before she suddenly positioned herself on his lap. She reached over and played with his hair.? "I suppose that makes sense."
"It does?"
Sumire nodded. "Even without mories. From the mont I woke up, I have always felt safe in your presence, in your arms. It didn't make sense to . I couldn't rember you, but I wanted to be near you. I wanted to get closer, I wanted to learn more about you."
Lucifer's eyes widened hearing those words. From the mont she woke up? 'I thought she was afraid of . She seldom spoke after all. But, now that I think about it. She did allow to get close to her. I didn't think much of it at the ti since I was focused on her recovery.'
But even if it makes sense to her. It doesn't an she has to accept it. Even though it would hurt him if she declined. Hasn't he been preparing for a rejection ever since she declared him her enemy? Ever since they ended up on opposing sides? The only difference was this ti he knew what it felt like to have her, to hold her in his arms, to kiss those pretty lips. To have her look at him with eyes of affection. However, what if he truly has been delusional this entire ti? It would explain why Toh keeps scorning him.
"Did, I- know about this?"
Lucifer shakes his head. "Not in this life, I had yet to explain." It happened so suddenly. He didn't an to mark her in the forest after the destruction of her family's ho. He ant to court her properly and then bestow the mark on her. None of this was supposed to happen.
"So, you hid it from ." Sumire said. Her question sounded innocent enough but he could hear the implied accusation, the anxiety that he withheld important information from her.
mories or not, that is one part of her that won't change. Sumire hates being kept in the dark, and hates others making choices for her. In their first lives together, she made that clear to him from the mont they beca a couple.
'If you are to treat like a pretty decoration, then this relationship will not work. I need soone who will respect my decisions and watch my back. Can you be that person?'
He chuckled at the mory. She truly did co off strong. Any other guy would have been put off by her behaviour. Certainly he heard many tales of failed date attempts with her. But, he accepted her from the first day they t.
Sumire's fingers suddenly intertwined with his. No doubt she was sensing his shift in emotions, feeling everything he was feeling.
"Why didn't you tell sooner?" Sumire asked.
Another innocent sounding question, and yet he knew she wanted answers. Real answers and not half hearted ones. This would be a good opportunity to tell her everything. However, he does not want to risk her walking away. Not now, not when the dangers to her life remain.
