Eventually, there came a point where Zivon approached her in her dream, asking why she had been doing everything behind the scenes. Naturally, she immediately attempted to distance herself from him. After all, if he came any closer, then history would surely repeat itself… However, her yearning for him made her dream about him calling out to her every night… If only she knew that that was what the real Zivon had been doing this entire time! Regardless, it was stormy one night in her dreams, and after he escorted her home, she couldn’t resist asking him to stay the night… And that eventually led to them sleeping together. She simply couldn’t help herself… So be it if they were met with danger again! She’d simply have to love him even more than ever to prevent anything bad from happening to him again! Alas, the more she fell for the Zivon in her dreams, the further she got from actually waking up again… “…We’re sorry, Young Master Burton, but she’s been unconscious for almost thr
“Remember what the doctor said? Xav’s body is fine, it’s just her mentality that’s preventing her from waking again. Naturally, we can’t get her to talk to a psychiatrist in her current state, but… Maybe a hypnotist can help. I’ve researched all night, and I’ve managed to locate a senior hypnotist living abroad. I plan to hire her in person, so… Yeah,” concluded Zivon. …That… That could actually work…! Why hadn’t he thought of that before?! Now seeing a glimmer of hope again, Ian replied, “…Thank God for your brilliant mind… Alright, don’t worry. I’ll be sure to take care of everything while you’re gone.” “We’ll help too!” added James, Jacob, and Tiffany. Nodding in response, Zivon replied, “Actually, before I leave… There’s something else that must be done.” “Go on…” “Get Jenna home in secret and have her pretend to be Xavia. Oh, and before you release the fake news to the public, be sure to transfer Xavia into a private treatment room, just to maintain the illusion.” Unde
Moving back to Zivon, he and Jenna soon touched down in the foreign country, and they were quickly sent to a hotel in a private car… Upon arriving at their room, Jenna couldn’t help but look at the lonely man before saying, “…Don’t worry, your plan is excellent, Young Master Burton… I’m sure that Fiona will be feeling extremely restless now, and we’ll have her right in our trap in no time. With that said… Be sure to rest up so that you’ll have the energy to face them then, alright…?” Watching as she handed him a box of sleeping aids, Zivon eventually replied, “I appreciate the concern, but you don’t have to worry about me. Be sure to get some rest yourself.” After saying that, Zivon opened his luggage bag and took out a tiny camera which he then attached to one of the paintings in the room… Raising a slight brow, Jenna replied, “…Are you worried that Fiona will strike while we’re asleep.” “No, she knows me well enough to not act overly rashly… I’m simply doing this to prove t
“Don’t waste your time, Young Master Burton… Our lady has already declined meeting you, and she won’t be changing her mind anytime soon…” Naturally, Zivon’s gaze instantly fell upon hearing that… But though the maids then politely gestured for him to leave, he simply began walking straight toward the manor! Frightened by his actions, the anxious maids quickly ran after him while saying, “Y-Young Master Burton, please…! You’re making things difficult for us!” “Indeed! Oh dear… Lady Ellen will surely be mad…!” “W-we’re sorry, Lady Ellen! We did our best to stop him…!” It didn’t take long for Zivon to come across the woman who was dressed fully in white… and after putting her coffee down, she gestured for her maids to leave. Gulping slightly, the maids quickly bowed before leaving the room… and now that they were alone, Zivon immediately said, “Apologies for the intrusion, Miss Ellen, but please understand that I’m here to save my wife. With that said, we can either do things
On that same day, Zivon flew back to Aplos… and the second they touched down, Ellen wasn’t even given a second to rest before she was dragged over to meet Xavia… Looking at all the hopeful gazes from the Frankstons and Xavia’s friends, Ellen couldn’t help but purse her lips. Was she seriously going to do this for the sake of that man who had threatened to kill her just earlier that day? Turning to look at Zivon, she was surprised to see him holding Xavia’s hand extremely gently. Come to think of it, his wife had been the only thing on his mind this entire time, and his attitude toward others had been far different… Maybe… he was worth her attention after all? It took her a while, but she eventually made up her mind to help these two reunite. With that, she began her treatment… Fast forward to half an hour later, Ellen finally appeared before the family again… and though they kept asking her how things had gone, she found herself unable to reply. “…Just tell us the truth,” sai
Basically, he found out that Xavia would always have a reaction whenever he kissed her… And if she was still able to react to his kisses, then that meant that she was getting closer to snapping out of it! After testing it a few times, he eventually pursed his lips before asking, “…Xav? You felt that didn’t you…? It’s me, Von… Please respond…” Hugging her even tighter, he couldn’t help but kiss her deeper. After all, not only did he want her to respond more to him, but he had to admit that his body yearned for her more than ever… …No. She was unconscious, and doing this wasn’t proper! After shaking his head, he took a deep breath before saying, “…No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you to wake up… And once you do, you can be sure that I’ll continue giving you my all…” With that said, he then gave her one final kiss before getting up to leave… It was about half an hour later when he headed over to Ellen’s room… Naturally, Ellen was slightly upset to be woken up in the de
Following that, the angered man walked off in a huff, leaving Ellen stunned… Why the hell was he acting like he was the victim in this situation? Sure, she believed that he truly loved Xavia, but… a man like him still had his needs, and she was unwilling to believe that he was virtuous enough to not consider sleeping with other women just to relieve himself… Moving back to Zivon, he couldn’t help but hug Xavia tightly while muttering, “She actually thought that I was seducing her… What an utter joke! Are you hearing this, Honey…? Are you really fine with me continuing to live with that narcissistic woman for much longer? If you aren’t, then please wake up already…” It was shortly after he said that when Xavia awoke all sticky and sweaty… and when she realized just how wet she was, she immediately recalled that erotic dream that she had of him! See, even though she had been together with Zivon in this new world, she hadn’t actually slept with him or officiated their relationship
In the following months, Zivon continued to take care of her, talk to her, and even begin learning advanced hypnosis… and though his actions were touching, the Frankstons and her friends slowly began losing hope by the time six more months had passed… “…Zivon, I know you don’t want to hear this, but… Maybe it’s time to let go…” “Indeed… We know how much you love her, but at this rate… You’re suffering much more than you need to…” Even Ian couldn’t help but say, “…Just leave her care to the nurses and let Miss Ellen go back already… This has dragged on for long enough.” Upon hearing that, Ellen sighed and added, “…I’ll admit that your dedication has me awed, Young Master Burton, but… Some things simply aren’t meant to be. Let her go…” Squinting slightly, Zivon replied, “…I vowed that only death would do me and my wife apart during our wedding… and until that happens, I’m going to continue trying my best.” …This man… He really was the real deal, huh? Following that convers
