The Happy Ending Love Story

More Than Love, This Is Destiny #8

Theia's cry drove Ares crazy. He doesn't know what to do. He wanted to erase Theia's grief. He also did not want Theia's tears to fall nonstop. Ares frustrates.

"They're..." Said Ares softly whose hand was still stroking Theia's back.

Theia's face sank into Ares's chest. Both of his hands were tightly coiled around Ares' neck. As if forgetting her fear, Thea cried in Ares' arms. He missed this body, the scent of his body as well as his warmth. She misses her Arei, the Arei she loves.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Theia. Don't cry." Ares kissed the top of Theia's head then rubbed her face into the recess of her neck. Ares inhaled the scent of Theia's body. The smell she always missed.

Theia was crying like she had never cried before. His eyes were red and his cheeks wet. Theia was like venting all her feelings all this time in her cries. After a long while Theia's cries finally subsided. His hands still wrapped around Ares' neck. Theia won't let go. He was afraid that if he let go Ares would leave.

"They're..." Ares's voice sounded. The voice was half whispering. Ares tries to release her body away from Theia to reach her arms. But Theia clings strongly to him. Swung around his neck.

"They. I just want to see you." Theia shook her head at the sign of rejection.

"Don't we have to talk?" Theia did not answer.

"Theia I won't do anything. I just want to see you." Ares took a slow breath and then continued. "I'm not going to kill you. I promise." Ares.

In Ares' heart grimaced. There's no way he killed Theia. It's been quite three months that she hasn't seen Theia. Ares will not repeat his mistake. If there wasn't a big problem he had to solve Ares wouldn't have left Theia. At that time Ares was forced to leave Theia and return to the Capital. After he reached the Capital, he immediately ordered Rolex to fund some of his men to guard Theia. But they're late. Theia's house burned down and she disappeared.

Upon hearing the news brought by the carrier pigeon Ares was furious. He was looking for the perpetrator who harmed him. Internal war in the capital flared up. Ares declares war on those who have framed him. Ares is also openly hostile to the Emperor if he does not help Ares find the culprit. The capital was stricken with heat from the fury of Duke Ares Knox Osbern the god of death of the Bylona Empire.

For three months Ares sought Theia's existence. Three months also Ares fell in endless darkness. The political atmosphere of the Capital also gripped like Ares' dark feelings. Even Heley as Emperor Bylona was unable to prevent and solve the problem. It's been three months that Ares and his men have been hunting down the perpetrators. There are no countless number of dead people. There were even high-ranking nobles. It turned out that some high and low-ranking nobles made alliances to harm Ares. They're all dead.

"Theia I just want to see you." Ares then removed Theia's hand from her neck. His gaze was fixed on the bowed Theia. Ares pulled Theia's chin then aligned her gaze.

Theia's eyes were twisted and red. His nose was also red and his cheeks were still wet. Signs of Theia's crying could again break were visible. Ares drowned in Theia's grief. She doesn't like to see Theia cry.

"Theia look at me." Ares Pinta.

Theia hesitantly raised her face. Eventually their views met and Theia's heart softened. Her tears would have spilled if Ares had not held her back.

"Don't cry anymore. You're making me look like a villain to Theia." Ares said in frustration.

Theia shook her head weakly.

Ares' lips formed a smile upon seeing Theia. Somehow Theia's behavior that was afraid of him was adorable. Ares pulled Theia's chin closer then kissed her lips at a glance.

"I miss you." Ares kissed Theia's lips for a long time. This time a little deep. After that Ares gave a kiss on Theia's face. It starts at the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks and ends at Theia's lips.

Theia closed her eyes as Ares traced her face with a kiss. His kisses deepened and intense.

Ares distanced his body then looked at Theia with furrowed brows. "Just call my name." Pinta Ares with a faint smile.

Theia shakes. "That's impossible."

Ares stroked Theia's cheek gently then added. "Arei, call me like Theia used to."

"I cannot dare Your Majesty. You are a high-ranking noble. I cannot possibly disrespect Your Majesty." Theia.

"They're..." Ares sighed and then continued. "Just call my name when we're alone." Ares Pinta.

Theia silence. Still with his head down because it was not strong to look into the eyes of Ares thought for a moment. He finally nodded in response. He can't be that brave.

Ares looked disappointed. But he wanted to put an end to this debate because there were many important things that he had to settle with Theia.

"alright. You can do it slowly. But please look at me. Shouldn't the conversation be conducted by two people and facing each other?" Ares pulls Theia's chin. His thumb rubbed Theia's lips slightly swollen over her actions. Somehow Ares can't control himself in front of Theia. He is like a predator who sees his prey.

Theia's eyes blinked a few times. He still did not believe the situation now. Theia was still on guard.

"I miss you so much. You miss me too, don't you?" Ares's question kissed Theia's cheek at a glance.

Theia feels de javu with Arei's treatment. Arei likes to kiss her face randomly. His eyes stared in disbelief at Ares who overlapped with Arei. They are the same but different. The Arei he knew was not like Ares now. It can be seen from the clothes worn and the look on his face. Arei was always relaxed whereas Ares looked cold, cruel and terrifying. Unknowingly Theia touched Ares' cheek then stroked it.

Ares who felt the touch of Theia closed her eyes. Feeling the warmth of Theia's hand. It felt like he found a place to go home. The place to lean.

"I'm sorry Theia. I'm guilty. Will you forgive me?" Ares said with a trembling voice. His first step is to apologize and then steal Theia's heart again. He wanted to make Theia by his side.

Theia turned her face away. He could not look at Ares's face. Bad memories of Ares leaving her soon flashed by. Theia never forgot Ares' indifference at the time. Ares did not even turn his head at all as Theia shouted at him. If everything could be finished with the word 'sorry' the prison would not be full of criminals.

"I know you're angry. I don't deserve to be forgiven. We can punish me Theia. Whatever you want." Ares held both of Theia's hands.

"There is no way I am angry with His Majesty. I don't deserve that." Answer Theia quickly.

Ares' heart fell. He did not expect the answer to be that cold.

"They're..." Call Ares.

Theia's tears could no longer be contained. She grinned as Ares called out to her in a low and affectionate voice. But Theia couldn't have forgiven Ares that easily. He still remembers Ares' treatment. All the trouble he gave her. She was pregnant with her child. If only Ares knew how Theia lived without him. A life like the dead, without the desire of life. Eat only to stay alive. Sleep just to stay alive. There was nothing without sadness as he lived life after Ares' departure.
