Sold To The Wicked Him

“I know I am not good at words but, I somehow manage to write all of this. This is embarrassing… actually”

He mumbled the last parts. Enough to make me chuckle. Why does he always do something I would be surprised of? I knew him for a long time now and the memories we have with each other grew and grew as time passes by.

“But there is one thing I want to tell you…”

And as I pull the ribbon I was holding, I can feel that it was the end of it. maybe I can finally remove this blindfold?

Turning my head to the side, I was about to remove the one hindering me from seeing where I am when a hand hold mine. And there, it removes the blindfold on my hand.

“And I want to tell it to you face to face…”

Smiling at me, there I saw Aiden. Smiling so warm, smiling as if, what he see was the most wonderful thing he ever sees

“Just like the first time I met you, you still looks beautiful. But unlike that first time… I won’t stop myself in getting close to you. Because more than that, I want you to see me… for me. I want you to love me because you do… and I…”

With thousand of lights shining behind him sparkling like stars, I can hear how fireworks starter to rock high in the sky. But instead of the sparkles the fireworks created, my eyes was drown in his orbs. It is shining… as if it was calling my name again and again…

“I want you to be my bride. For real… Lea Kruie, will you be my wife? Do you want to be, Lea Lazarus? Once again? but… this time… for real?”

Smiling at him, such warmth I can feel. I can’t help but be filled with joy.

What did I do to deserve this? Grandma… grandpa… you two are right… the time really comes when I will find that person that will give me lots of emotions I can’t explain…

With my hands reaching his face, I can’t help but feel his hands trembling as he hold mine

“Why are you shaking?”

He diverted his gaze. How cute…

“Maybe because it was cold”

“But I feel… so warm”

This feeling, this very scene, I will never forget this. Never…

…

Aiden POV

In the end, I didn’t receive any answer at all. I was so diverted in her smile that I completely forgot what her answer was…

Putting my hands on my face, it was the first time I act so clumpsy. I always set things in perfect. But… when it comes to things about Lea, I can’t help but feel like I should be doing more…

Laughing a bit, I wonder why I am seeing her even when my eyes are close.

“Son, you seems to be in a good mood”

“Father”

I was on my way to my my car when I saw my father. He is looking healthy as ever. One of the things I am glad of is the fact that somehow, by just a bit… I am getting used in having a conversation with him.

Is it because of what happened to me and Lea that I finally realized how things can’t be done even if we wanted to?

The tragedy that happened before.. I know he never want that to happen. Yet… what a fool of me to not open my mind…

“I am doing good, just as always”

“So how was your engagement with Lea? Did she says yes?”

And a sudden realization hit me. That this I was thinking just a while ago.

“Shut it… please”

I then heard him laugh. But somehow, he does looks like he was pinching his nose.

Smoke

“What is this?”

And soon as I sniff that white mist, I can feel myself losing consciousness.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Father?

Where am i? why do I feel like I was chained of something?

“And tonight we are all gathered for this main event… I all present you, the one and only, Aiden Lazarus!!”

That familiar voice… where did I hear that again? and father? What did he do? that old man…

Soon as I had the chance to see where I was, there was a blinding light that was directly pointing at me.

What the fuck is this?

Looking around, I can’t help but wonder what is happening. There are people wearing mask sitting not far from the stage of where I was.

This looks familiar…

Could it be….

“You guys are all excited it seems. I won’t beat around the bushes then!”

Wait… Is that sylphia?

Laughing as soon as I recognize that voice, what are they doing tying me up and making this kind of scene? I wonder….

“For are most precious item!, the bidding starts with ten million dollars!”

Now that I look at them clearly, all of the people in here looks so familiar. I see that guy with brown mask must be Elton. And that one beside him with green mask is Aiya. And that golden mask is… my father. What the hell… are they up to?

Wait… someone was sitting from afar. I can’t clearly see them.

“Twenty million dollars”

“One hundred million dollars”

“One hundred one million dollars”

They all started raising the number they were holding. I don’t really get what this prank is but… it really makes me be reminded of that time when I first saw lea. It was also like this…

She must be frightened to be in unfamiliar place… luckily I found that Estrella who did that to her. But just a jail for what she did doesn’t sound so bad. After all, if it weren’t for her then I won’t meet Lea.

“Five billion dollars”

A voice speaks so loud. As if the whole place turn silence. And there a smirk escaped my lips.

“Five billion dollars going once, ”

And the owner of that very voice shows up and walk up the stage. Wearing that beautiful silky red dress…

“Five billion dollars going twice, ”

She looks beautiful as always

“Five billion dollars going thrice, ”

And there was a smirk on her face. As if she was so amazed with what happened. But more than her I would say I never expected any of this.

“Sold!”

But it was for her, I know I can do anything.

“Guess I am your slave now…”

With her forehead touching mine, she was cupping my face.

“You are mine now… Aiden Lazarus”

“I am… and will forever be… yours. My Lea…”
