He brushed the back of his hand to my cheek, staring lovingly into my eyes. Planting a kiss on my forehead and giving a tight hug.
"You know I can't promise you that. My priority is you and Caden. I don't care what happens to as long as I keep you safe but I promise I will do everything to stay alive until this is over."
I wanted to cry. Because of my father, he was suffering from a split personality. His other self wanted revenge by hurting but he was controlling him and was trying to protect from himself and my father.
I know it was hard for him but he was doing it for and Caden.
I tilted my head up and stared at him. "Promise that you won't leave and that you will never make worry like what happened in Flousia. But if it happens, promise that you will always follow my voice. If you're in the dark, you will always look and follow my light."
I reached out my hand, showing my pinky finger. He frowned looking at it then back to my eyes.
"Pinky promise?"
I know it sounded childish and I look like a kid asking for sothing so shallow. But I wanted him to at least make another promise with .
"Did you know in Japan this is known as yubikiri or finger cut-off?" He asked while locking his pinky finger with mine.
"They said if you break a pinky promise, you will have to cut off your pinky finger in return. I don't want one of my fingers cut off so I will keep my promise. But here." He continued, putting a bracelet on my wrist.
I looked at it, checking the details of the accessory. It was a simple red string bracelet with a gold infinity symbol in the center.
"It's pretty." I comnted.
"Legend says that there is an invisible red thread that connects us to those we are destined to et regardless of the circumstances, ti and place. The thread can be tangled or stretched but it will never be broken." He explained while showing his wrist.
It was a couple red string bracelets and I was happy that we have another accessory as husband and wife aside from our wedding ring.
"Do you believe that?" I asked, curiously.
He smiled and pinched on the cheek.
"I do. Because I t you. Maybe what happened to our parents was because we are destined to each other. The thread was tangled when those unfortunate things happened but it was never broken. That's why we t, fell in love and got married. You are my destiny, Peggy and I am yours. Nobody could break that." He answered.
Tears started falling from my eyes. I am not sure why I'm so emotional these past few days. But hearing him say that lessened my anxiousness.
"I love you. I was worried about your other self but I realized I love everything about you. I understand that your other personality wanted revenge but I don't care. I will gladly accept the pain you will inflict on . I deserve that. I-I"
"No! Peggy, listen! You don't deserve it. I don't have the right to hurt you. No one has. Don't you ever say that! Don't ever think that you deserve to be hurt. I would rather die than to hurt you again. Rember, your worth as a person does not depend on anyone. It doesn't depend on or your father. It depends on you. You deserve to be loved and be happy. That's all." He cut off while holding my hands and staring at seriously.
I nodded and just kept on crying. Then he pulled closer to him, embracing tighter.
"You don't know how precious you are to . I was stupid for hurting you before but you never deserve it. My wish is for you to see your worth, Peggy. You have a good heart and a pure soul. You only deserve all the best things in the world." He continued.
We were in that position for almost half an hour. I was leaning on his chest, listening to his heart while he hugged tight, brushing one of his hands on my head.
My fear and anxiety disappeared. But there's sothing I want from him. I want to make love to him, I just couldn't say it.
I took a deep breath and bit my lips, trying to muster my courage to ask him. It wasn't really a good ti since we just had a confrontation with my father's lackey so I was hesitating.
"Love?" He called so I tilted my head to look at him.
I frowned when I saw him scratching his head and was blushing.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Ahm. I know we just had an encounter with your father's side. But can I ask you a favor?"
"Tell what it is." I was getting impatient so my tone was almost yelling.
He sighed before telling what he wants.
"You know the last ti we did it was like a few weeks ago. I want you. I want to make love to you."
My face lit up and smiled back at him.
"Are you laughing at ?" He asked.
I chuckled and gave him a peck on the lips.
"No. Silly. I was actually hesitating to ask you about it since I know we just had a stressful day. But I'm glad we're actually thinking the sa thing. And you told this morning to wait for you so I was looking forward to that." I answered but suddenly got embarrassed when I ntioned the last part.
He then put my hand into his crotch. My eyes widened when I felt his hard flesh and at the sa ti I felt a sudden excitent in my body.. I blushed and started licking my lips.
