"Beco my woman. I can make you happy,"
"Don't touch . I'd rather die than beco yours," Anna replied, her tone cold and firm.
Even in her isolation, thoughts of Reign filled her mind.
She missed him so much, and that feeling gave her the strength to resist.
Alexander's eyes narrowed, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. He knew he couldn't force her; the risk was too great.
She has a way to end her own life that had almost taken her months ago.
If not for her sister Elizabeth stepping in just in ti, Anna would have been gone.
Normally, he wouldn't have cared so much about her.
After all, he had plenty of won in his life—won who were more submissive.
But as he watched her unwavering loyalty to another man, sothing changed. He began to admire her determination and will.
Slowly, he found himself wanting that sa loyalty and affection to be directed toward him.
That was why he had started to treat her with more kindness. Each day, he ca to her room to check on her.
He hoped that, over ti, she might see him differently and perhaps even co to care for him.
But that wasn't the only reason he visited her everyday; he also wanted to see her face.
Anna had beco even more beautiful and irresistible in his eyes. Her youthful appearance stirred a deep urge to protect her.
Unfortunately, she was still hung up on her first love.
No matter how much he admired her or wanted to protect her, he could sense that her heart belonged to soone else.
"Why are you so stubborn? I've been gentle with you all this ti. What else do you want?" Alexander asked while settling into a luxurious wooden chair that faced her bed.
"Let go. I want to go back"
Alexander closed his eyes and shook his head. "I told you before, Summit City is gone. I'm sure both your father and that low-ranking demon are dead too."
Anna refused to let his words affect her.
Deep down, she knew he was still alive. She couldn't explain it, but she felt a strong connection to him, as if her love transcended distance.
Perhaps it was because she had chosen him as her life partner, and that choice filled her with hope.
Seeing no response from her, Alexander let out a sigh and stood up. "I'll take my leave. Please rest now,"
He turned to leave, glancing back one last ti to etch her adorable face in his mory. But this ti, sothing was different.
"Huh?" Anna muttered, her confusion rising.
Blood trickled from her eyes, and it felt like her heart was about to break .
"Weird… Why am I crying?" she said, forcing a laugh to mask the overwhelming sadness. But the tears wouldn't stop .
Soon, the laugh turned into a sob.
Each cry felt like a release, the pent-up sadness spilling over as she thought of him.
This ti, though, it wasn't happiness or hope that filled her.
Rather, an unexplainable sense of betrayal, making her shoulders tremble uncontrollably.
"Are you okay?" Alexander rushed back to her side, reaching out . But she recoiled, backing away.
"Don't touch ! Only he can touch !" she spat out, her voice sharp despite the torrent of negative emotions swirling inside her.
Even in this state, she refused to betray her beloved.
Just the thought of anyone else touching her was unbearable.
'It's okay... It's okay...! He would never betray …' she muttered, wrapping her arms around herself.
She gripped her shoulders so tightly that her skin began to bleed, tiny droplets forming on her pale white skin.
Her eyes also shimred, shifting back and forth between blue and red, reflecting the conflict raging within her.
anwhile, Alexander's concern for her well-being grew
"Wait for ! I'll get so help," he announced.
Without waiting for a response, he vanished from sight, leaving her alone.
'Reign… where are you? Please save …'
'I miss you. I really miss you,' she repeated softly, as if saying it could summon him to her.
She closed her eyes, trying to convince herself that he would surely co.
All she needed to do was wait until then, holding on to the hope that her unconditional loved for him would pay off in the end.
However—
"I want you inside ."
Suddenly, a voice echoed in her mind, a sound that wasn't her own. It belonged to another woman.
She did not know why, but a wave of extre hatred filled her heart.
Anna clenched her chest, gasping, 'It hurts… It hurts so much…'
As the pain intensified, more blood stread down her face, and she began to thrash on the bed.
Blood also began to seeped from her ears, and nose.
CRACK!
The window shattered and a woman along with Alexander landed on the floor.
"Are you okay, Anna?" Elizabeth asked, her voice filled with concern.
Anna didn't respond; she was lost in her own pain. Blood continued to drip onto the floor, pooling around her.
Elizabeth quickly focused her energy, hoping to stabilize her condition, but it didn't work.
Even with her powers as a Demon Lord, she couldn't stop the blood from flowing. She watched it seep out of the room, trailing along the lobby floor.
"Don't tell …" Elizabeth's eyes widened as she recalled sothing she had discovered about Anna's mother.
When she first read about it, she thought it was just a silly and exaggerated rumor.
But right now, she could sense that her negative energy was rising at an unprecedented rate, showing no signs of stopping.
'She might actually jump directly to Demon Lord or even...,' Elizabeth muttered to herself, the idea both amazing and terrifying.
"I..." Anna's voice echoed, catching the attention of the two.
When they looked at her, they saw sothing that sent a chill down their spines.
She was smiling from ear to ear, but her eyes looked vacant and lifeless.
'How dare you ss with my Reign... I will kill you!,'
