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
EPILOGUE Lux’s POV It was nice and peaceful. Looking at the aurora borealis for the second time to celebrate the prophecy of our children is beautiful. Crocell looks at me with a smile before taking and kissing the back of my hand, muttering thank you every now and then. It had been five months since we undid the curse. It was a bittersweet moment as I took the first breath of life with confidence that it won’t be the last so soon. And as I took that sweet breath, Camael took his last. And I have never thanked anyone this hard. He sacrificed his life for me. He did it so we can live. It wasn’t his obligation to do so as I have later on realized that even though he saw how father cursed me, it wasn’t his obligation to tell me, tell us nor help us in anything. Camael was a casualty. An innocent sacrifice so that we can live happily and I will live the rest of my immortal life thanking him for it. The sou
Chapter 65 Third person’s POV The moon hung over the sky like a diamond. The illumination that it casted over the mountain provided a serene comfort to the couple that had waited for this very moment. It’s about time their suffering cease and this curse ends. “I love you.” The angel whispered, dressed in beautiful chiton with his wings clearly shown in his back. The bump in his front is already showing promise of a healthy pregnancy and for that, the couple is thankful. They just need to survive. “I love you too.” Crocell whispered back, holding his husband by his waist and kissing him lovingly on the lips. Time had never changed his love for the angel and if it did in a way, it would’ve been the increasing intensity of what he feels for the other as time passes by. “Are you ready?” Hades asked as he walked in on the couple who are currently hugging each other. Lux smiled as nodded. “I’
Chapter 64 Crocell’s POV 2 weeks countdown. The process of undoing a curse is a lot simpler than what we anticipated. There was materials gathered and there was a certain shit that needs to be done at the right time and the right place or else it won’t work. I was an idiot thinking it would be relatively easy especially when I am doing the whole process of preparation with a very hormonal, very pregnant angel. “For the third time, I am gonna ask you,” I looked at my angel and breathed out. “We’re you crying because I ate nachos and you smelled it on my breath?” A pillow came hurling my way and I ducked before it hit me in the face. Wrong move. I should’ve just shut my mouth up and let myself get hit by the pillow because now my husband is sobbing ugly sobs because he can’t hit me and he also can’t follow me ‘cause his feet hurts and he doesn’t wanna waddle with the growing bump in his
Chapter 63 I want to cut the tie that threads you to your father and reintroduce you to the thread of the source. “I beg your pardon?” I asked with a confused face. Did I hear that right? Cutting my ties? Experimenting with my children? This is a lot more than what I had expected. “I mean what I said.” Hades says with a serious face, completely devoid of any emotions that would give away his intent. “I need your consent on this. You’re the personification of light, the Source’s light and you are hindered by your connection with your father.” He explained which made my brows furrow. This is risky. “Have you not realize that I am pregnant? This is too much risk! We could hurt the babies. And experimenting?! My children are not cattle that you can easily poke and probe.” I turned towards the teapot that’s currently coming to a rolling boil, breathing in and out to calm myself. I focused on that for a moment before turning back t
Chapter 62Third Person’s POVChildren does things that are rather childish. It’s a given. They are after all, kids.They often misbehave or purposely anger their parents just to get their attention at times. But there are stuff that goes too far and needs intervention.Yaweh is just a simple God. He loves his creation and his children, his angels that are his sons and daughter and there is no exception to that. But at the same time, Yaweh also wants his children to stay in the right path—his path, the one that he carved out of solid stones. The one that will not sway them from temptations. He is also the kind of person who would choose the safety and the security of the many. In the moral dilemma situation, he would have a clear answer without even batting an eyelash.Lucifer was an example. He was growing in power and was starting to see beyond the walls of the pat
Chapter 61Third person POVAn audience with Lucifer himself is a bit hard to set. You need to go through various processes with few lower ranks under his household. The waiting line is long seeing as all of major affairs in hell needs to go through Lucifer and not just the seven high ranking demons. When the council members are the ruler, Lucifer is the law himself.“Lord Beelzebub. Greetings.” A low ranking demon appeared as the couple landed in front of the domineering castle that Lucifer calls his humble abode. “And greetings to you as well, Lord Leviathan. I hope you don’t find the obstacles bothering.”“We didn’t, Feldspar. We are here to have an audience with Lord Lucifer.” Leviathan easily stated and the ram horned demon stopped in his tracks.“Lord Lucifer isn’t in hell at the moment—““Save the lies for lesser demons, I c
Chapter 60 “I am the key.” The words resounded like a pin dropping on the serene marbled floor. It broke the silence. I didn’t know what to feel when I heard Camael uttered those four words. Surprise? Anger? Happiness? Relief? I don’t know. What I know is that I feel as if a thorn was plucked from my heart, freeing me from the constant worry of looking for the key without any clue on who they we’re. “The key? W-what do you mean?” My husband asked as he gripped my hand, hard. I read his face as if it had hope yet it spelled betrayal all the same. His face looks hopeful, yet devastated at the same time and I understand how he feels. “I’m sorry Lux. Forgive me, I wasn’t strong enough nor selfless enough.” Camael’s voice cracked as Metatron held him close, afraid of how our reactions would be. It was pretty clear to everyone who knew us that we are looking for the key as per the scriptures—why woul
Chapter 59The ceremony was simple. The small garden in the back of the mansion that served as my office and home to my servants had been the venue. It was really simple with my father officiating the whole thing. Lux is dressed in white, his traditional robes as an angel and I was in my demon form. We found out that his stomach is really getting quiet big just a month into the pregnancy as what the healer had said. There is a noticeable bump in his abdomen that made me swoon.Of course, Lux is happy so I’m happy.“I love you.” Lux whispered with a giggle as he was handed a plate of cake.“You just love me because I got you your coconut custom cake.” I replied and the angel giggled again as he happily devoured his second slice. This is the first time I saw him eat without puking so I’ll get him all the cake he wants.“This is superb, Love. This is the first time I felt full—you kid is
Chapter 58A/N: We will be switching a lot of POV’s so hang in there. XDLux’s POVCrocell and I had been in a lifetime where he was born as a really sickly vampire born in New York City to two poor vampires who are barely making ends meet. I was born in a rich family but I have with Dravet Syndrome and was staying at a hospital, living as a miracle for the whole 17 years of my life.We met for a week when he snuck into the hospital for blood bags.By all means, we shouldn’t have fallen in lo
