Chapter 42
“How may we help you?” The man asked as I walked inside, closing the door behind me without tearing my gaze from Ashley who is currently asleep and hooked up in some apparatus.
He’s in a hospital bed. Lying asleep and my heart breaks as he laid there with the apparatuses beating.
“I’m Trent, Ashley’s—“
“Ashley’s husband! Oh my goodness dear, I’m very sorry.” Huh? Husband—well I’m not complaining. The woman said and gave me a hug. “I am Martha Gregory and this is my husband, Pete. We called your cell using Ashley’s phone.
Chapter 43“Darling, please, talk to me. Get angry.” Ashley pursed his lip as he looked at me with watery eyes. “Don’t look at me with that gaze. I… It hurts. I feel like I’d rather see you lashing out in anger than you looking at me like you’re disappointed at yourself. Darling, Trent…you should be disappointed at me!” He begged, pearly tears falling down his cheeks.Silence occupied the room. Only the sound of the machines—the whirring of the air condition and my own heartbeat is the only thing I can hear—along with Ashley’s sniffles.I am upset. Of course. That would be a given. I was so worried and I am so fucking angry that I am not a person Ashl
Chapter 44“Do you really wanna know?” Ashley asked, playing with his fingers—fiddling with it as anxiety probably got the best of him. I smiled and took his hand to mine with a gentle squeeze as if to say ‘nothing will change’.“I want to know.” I said and sighed. “You… you matter to me more than you think you do, my darling.”He does and I want to know what’s going on. I don’t want to be kept in the dark when it comes to him. I know it’s hypocritical when I am also keeping a secret to him but this isn’t the time for that.A short silence befall upon the room—not that kind of atmo
Chapter 45Ashley’s POVScared.That was what I felt when I saw Trent standing beside the hospital bed looking like he rushed in here. I was so fucking scared that I almost cried then and there when I saw him crying.More so when he finally asked me about what the heck is up.I was scared to be left alone. People had always left me and I had been alone for the most part—my parents they left me and now that I found someone worth spending the rest of my short life with, I am scared that he’ll gonna leave me behind.
Chapter 46 Third person’s POVIt wasn’t cold but something in this atmosphere is making the angel shiver. It’s as if his senses is telling him that something is about to go down.Metatron wasn’t really a bad person—he sure isn’t a bad angel but he must admit, he’s selfish and he loves too much.He loves his brother and it hurts him how fates played with his precious younger brother and it hurts him even more seeing him being reborn and die over and over again.“What’s making your face like that?” Camael
Chapter 47Leviathan’s POVI should’ve seen it. I should’ve fucking seen the signs.I can’t believe it. I have been blind all these time and so is Beelzebub. We didn’t know until it was totally confirmed by the chaos with the sudden rift in the balance. Fates had been toying with me and my husband.Yes. Husband.Beelzebub is my husband and Crocell… or who we know as Trent Easton, this lifetime’s reincarnation of Crocell is our son and as of now, he doesn’t know anything yet. He’s as blind as a bat with the tru
Chapter 48Trent’s POVAshley is sleeping peacefully at the moment and without a care in the world and here I am, worrying to no end. I know Ashley had accepted his fate, I know he does but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up because of that. I don’t want to give anything up.I can’t stand the thought of losing him—of him leaving me alone to suffer in a world where it isn’t possible to see him anymore. I would rather not live at all.“I love you so much my darling. So much so fight for yourself okay?” I smiled as he snuggled closer to me and I dropped a kiss on
CHAPTER 49Ashley’s POVThis is the first time I woke up in my bed alone ever since Trent and I got together. I looked around, feeling the empty space beside me, cold and yes, empty. Where the heck is this idiot? I rubbed my eyes. Searching for the clock in our bedside table only to see that it’s only four in the morning. Trent is not a morning person—he would gladly give up breakfast just so he could sleep in and I’ve never see him wake up this early except for when he had a really early meeting with overseas clients but even so, he would do everything in his power just to get a few more minutes.And his spot is cold which means he’s up fo
Chapter 50Trent’s POV“…and that’s how it came to be.” I said while still staring at the ground, afraid to look up to see Ashley’s reactions. I know he’ll understand but there’s this feeling inside of me that’s still afraid on what if he doesn’t?A short and sharp breath bought me out of stupor as I looked up to see Ashley, pale as snow and clutching his chest—he looks like he’s about to pass out from pain and it made me panic in just a fraction of second.I stood up and in a blink of an eye, Ashley isn’t standing as he close his eyes and
