"It was not our intention to hurt you by not telling you. We were just really worried about your health and we would rather face this alone than have you worry and lose you earlier than we want to." Killian explained softly while approaching his father and sitting by his foot.Derek nodded in agreement, "We're sorry if we didn't think about what you'd feel. It won't happen again but just for this one time, can you please understand us?"Benedict knew his sons were right.They knew that more stress would cause his body to suffer but even if he knew that, the pain of knowing what his sons were going through while he was just inside his room was enough to almost bring him down to his knees.He wanted to be able to help them.After all, he was never there for them when they were younger and until now, even if they were getting along, he felt inadequate.He felt indifferent about a lot of things.Was it because he was dying?"I know that you had good intentions for what you did and thank y
"What did you tell her? Did she cry?" Benedict asked his son worriedly. He was worried about Yifa.Worried about her safety, well-being, and happiness. Others might think he was overreacting and maybe he is but he just wants to make sure Yifa is alright and she's happy.After everything she's been through, she deserves to have a good life. He knows almost everything about her because she wasn't afraid to tell him stories about her past as a rogue.Remembering everything she said made his heart hurt. He wished that he met Yifa sooner so that she wouldn't have to go through such hardships.A kind soul like her doesn't deserve to have life treat her that way.But it doesn't matter anymore because what's important is that she's there with them and they will be able to make her life a little better.Killian bit his lip guiltily before nodding, "Yeah, she did cry. I told her bad things about her... well, her personality."Derek looked up at his brother with wide eyes. He may have been laug
Killian sighed tiredly while climbing up the stairs where he promised to bring Yifa as a surprise.He wanted to make sure that everything was set into the plan. It wasn't extravagant as he wanted because he knew that Yifa was a simple woman, she would be happy with simple things and she'll only complain if he does something more than just simple.But compared to a while ago, he was excited to be able to do this for Yifa.But now, his feelings were confusing.He felt like he was doing something that will only lead to more confusion about what he really felt or thinks of Yifa . Adding to that fact, his father and Derek were very clear about what they thought of his action towards her, especially after their argument.Were they right? Was he feeling something for Yifa other than just friends?Was that even possible?No, it wasn't possible because Killian knew that he will never love anyone else other than Ginni because he promised Ginni that he will love her eternally.But what was he do
Yifa looked at the mirror with a smile on her face but anybody could see the clear nervousness surrounding her.She looked nervous and worried about whatever it was that was going to happen tonight. She didn't want to imagine negative things but a part of her, she felt like something was going to happen and it was not going to be good.She doesn't want to think about it but she was never wrong with her instincts before but she's hoping that this time, she's wrong.She let out a deep breath before looking at herself in the mirror again and was slightly amazed at how well she cleaned up herself.She was wearing a baby blue dress that was off-shoulders and fell right above her knee, it was tight on her waist before flaring downwards.She didn't apply too much heavy make-up on her face because as always, she liked looking simple and plain but pretty.For her hair, she tied it up in a high ponytail that accentuated her face well.All in all, she felt good about herself, and hopefully, Kill
No, no. This can't be happening.Yifa didn't know what to think or what to do with this fact. The fact that Killian left her to meet up with Amaya when he clearly promised to stay with her.Didn't he say that he was going to wait for her? Didn't he say that he'll stay because he wants her to enjoy her day?Was that all a lie? Was he playing with her feelings?Yifa shook her head in complete disbelief. She doesn't want to believe that Killian could do something so...so painful.She was looking forward to this day and even if she felt nervous, she was excited to be able to spend some time with Killian. She and him only, alone.She wasn't expecting more than just a dinner and a few small talks but it was still something and that was what kept her going throughout the day.No matter how small this day can be for Killian , for Yifa this was a dream come true. A dream that she had ever since she was small. A dream that kept her strong and fighting despite the hard life of being a rogue. A d
Killian climb up the stairs in hurried steps because a part of him was crying with the person.he doesn't know why but all he knew was that he needed to know and heneeded to make it stop or else he was going to get emotional too.He may sound like a complete fool but he was only saying what was really on his mind and what he was feeling.He quickened his steps when he heard another cry and this time, it felt like he knew who that person was but he couldn't pinpoint it directly.But when he got to the place, the ballroom, his heart fell and his frown deepened.Yifa was sitting in the middle of the floor, crying with her arms wrapped around herself."Yifa ?" Killian asked worriedly while approaching her quickly.But as soon as Killian touched her shoulder, Yifa immediately jerked away from his touch, flinching."Yifa ? What's going on?" Killian asked but this time, he avoided touching her."Go away, Your Highness." Yifa replied. Her voice was muffled because she was hiding her face in
She wanted to confront him. Shout and demand answers for the way he left her and why he did it.But at the same time, she felt scared.She felt scared to know the answers behind his departure. What if his answers will just hurt her more than she already is?What if he tells her that he left because of Amaya ? Because she needed him?Because she wanted Killian to be there?But she needed and wanted Killian to be there for her too. Would Killian have chosen her if she also asked him to stay?What if Killian was given the choice to choose from Yifa and Amaya?Would he choose her?She was scared to know the answer to that question if it ever happens because she knows, deep down she knows that Killian will not choose her.Of course, Killian will choose his future mate, the person he's going to be with for the rest of his life.And not Yifa . Not the person he considered a slave and then considered as a friend for some other different reason. A friend he fought with and then apologized.A f
Yifa took Killian 's offer to bring her to her room because she knew that Killian wouldn't let the topic go. He'l do anything to persuade her and on any other day, she would have jumped in joy and happiness at having his attention.But, not today. Today, Yifa felt like she was suffocating when having him near.She felt like she was fighting for her life while he looks at her the way he always does, kind and warm.Yifa would have never doubted him but after what happened today, she couldn't understand why he was looking at her in such a way. She doesn't understand the motive behind his actions.Did he really care for her? Was it all just her imagination?They silently walked the silents halls going to the hallway where their bedrooms were located.It made Yifa painfully aware that she can't really avoid Killian because his room was next to hers.Yifa almost laughed at the way this day turned out. One moment she was enjoying the feel of her own room, fixing her things and arranging ever
