Broken Engagement

Lone Wolf looked uninterested while hosting the dinner party.

"Mr. President! Please to meet you at last!".

Lone Wolf looked at his assistant for identification since he is totally clueless.

"Mr. President, this is our honorable guest! Queen Amara! And her daughter, Princess Emeralda!". With crystal clear sound, his assistant gestured with a bow to the two honorable guests.

At the same moment, the younger girl smiled like a Cheshire cat. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. President!". Then she shyly blinked her eyes in a fake attempt.

"Thanks for coming, Queen Amara.., Princess Emeralda! Excuse me for a moment!".

Hurriedly, Lone Wolf finds his way to the most beautiful girl that just entered the banquet room. As an ex-philanderer, he never saw such an intriguing beauty such as her.

"Ashlee! You finally here!".

Ignoring his greeting, the alluring woman moves like a butterfly while stared at him like a dagger. "A moment with you please?!".

Like a lapdog, he followed her.

While Princess Emeralda grimaced at the sight of their closeness. The Emperor country President is way more handsome than what she had imagined. Her Queen's mother wanted to build relationships by marriage. At first, she was not agreeable, but seeing how handsome and charming the older man is, she wants this marriage more than anything she ever wants. And whatever she wants, she gets, the good-looking man is not excluded.

"Ashlee, my love, let me take you somewhere with privacy, allow me to carry you over there!"

Without waiting for her permission, he carried her by the waist and in an instant, they fly through toward the full moon, however, they sat next to each other at the roof of the old palace.

"Old man! What do you tell my brother?!". She asking without waiting for her breath to calm down. Being so close to Lone Wolf, make her feel squeaky inside like some kind of chronic disease had invaded her.

"Don't call me an old man! Our tribe could live forever, you know! Also... My flying skill is unbeatable or maybe the last of its kind. And look at how young-looking and handsome I am!".

"I have getting to know you this past five years and I didn't like what I heard about your past and what I saw with all the ladies on your tail!!"

And this is his fault? For all the ladies to swoon on the sight of him and followed him around like a pest?

"And I have since waited only for you! When I laid eyes on you for the first time, I knew that we are bound together!"

"The promise is not valid!"

"...?"

"I am only twelve when I gave you my word to be your wife! I don't know about your reputation then! The number one casanova in the Emperor city!".

"When you promised me your hands of marriage! I never betrayed you even once! Don't do this based on my old past!".

"Now you admit, how old you are! Old past! I can't live with the realization that I am not the only woman in my man's life. It's not your old age that bothering me but it's your old past! Just earlier, I saw the busty woman flirting with you! And... The party is arranged by my brother to look for a candidate for your wife! And unfortunately, it won't be me! I don't want my husband to be to have any dirty past! So I come here to break our engagement and gave you back this wolf heirloom ring!". She placed the ring on his palm and forced his hand into a fist.

Unconsciously, he grasped the ring tightly.

"No!!! Ashlee!!! Don't do this! We are destined to be together! Don't you remember our past life?!!"

Looking at Lone Wolf like he was a lunatic, Ashlee Shen shook her head and using a metal robe material hiding under her sleeve, she aimed the arrow point on a strong tree trunk in front of them, then she was swinging and sliding down without any proper goodbye word.

Lone Wolf's heart is broken into pieces. His past lover didn't remember their past life and had broken their engagement without any tears. While, Eleven years ago, his consciousness of his past life was awakened upon seeing her for the first time. Thus, they had vowed to be together in this life and he gave her the Wolf ring that at the moment, carried a lot of weight inside his fist.

Ashlee Shen didn't feel well at the slightest. She thought that her throbbing heart disease will disappear once she left him. However, she is not feeling well at all, in fact, her disease got worse. The fluttering heart turned into a whirling heart, sucking everything inside of her, and sent a great impact as someone had punched her numerous times in the stomach.

What on earth?

Ashlee only promised to be his fiancée only on a whim, which she believed to be the root of her disease. For six years when she was away from him, all she thought was to grow up and marry him. However, seeing him again, she felt different. Gone was the thought of marrying him, instead, she wants to run away from him. Why? Because he caused her insides churned just by grinning lazily at her. Because he is a dangerous specimen that could cause her demise. Being with him, made her sick in the stomach and feverish. Thus, why she broke their engagement.

But why she didn't feel free after she liberated herself from him?

She was no longer a twelve years old naive girl, she is 23 years old now. She could see clearly how Lone Wolf had tricked her into accepting his marriage proposal in the past.

Eleven years ago...

Ashlee Shen ran away from home to the secluded area of the sea. However, she accidentally saw Lone Wolf when he was bathing on the sea as free as a sea creature. She gasped feverishly at the beautiful naked man, swimming like a dolphin in the moonlight. He was the most beautiful man she ever saw in her life.

Blinking her eyes to make sure she didn't see things, she lost sight of him.

"Have you peeping enough? Young lady?!!", hoarsely he asked from behind him.

Only with a white towel around his manhood and still with pearls of water dropping from his godlike hair and body, but powerful and beautiful at the same time -the legendary eight pack stomach twas rarely seen in humanity-. She gulped hard almost choke in the process. For the longest moment, no one talk.

...

Until like forever, he broke the silence," You have to take responsibility for me now, lass! You see most of my body! Here my heirloom ring! When you grow up, you could only marry me!!"

Unconsciously, she nodded in agreement.

Going back to the present time...

She vowed to be his bride because she thought that the man was pure. In the past five years since she moved back to the Emperor city, they spent many dinners together but she felt sick whenever she looked at him. Her stomach churned as if a thousand butterflies dwelled in it and her heart fluttered uncomfortably like something bad was going to happen at any moment. Since she didn't have any friends to ask for her sickness and her twin brother also was no help, thus it's easier to cut off the source of her sickness.

But now...

She felt her sickness is getting worst. It's her fault for ditching school and only fancied martial arts, for as of now, she has no clue of what's going on with her body. She didn't want to worry her family with her disease thus she hide it to herself and came out with the solution of ditching her so-called fiancé, but it doesn't help the cause, it's worsened it!

Maybe it's time for her to see a doctor.

She heard that Agent 003 had returned by his brother's side, thus she will visit him tomorrow.

"Mr. President, you have returned! Please seat next to me!". Pulling his arm without care of what others think, Princess Emeralda smiled with satisfaction when Lone Wolf didn't object, and at that moment, it looked like he was stunned with her beauty.

Unbeknownst to her, she was wrong, of course. Lone Wolf was in a trance from the beginning of the party to the end of it. His mind was not on any of the ladies attending the party, but it's at the lady not present at the party. Sighed hard, he dismissed the unwanted party.
