Come back to me

Luna was a bit expecting that he would come to her that night but it's been days, she was waiting for nothing. Every day that passes, the more she craves to come back to the castle. She can't deny that she likes her life in the castle more than in her own home. She wanted to be there, beside him, conversing with him, serving him...

The peacefulness she had been craving for, it was there, in that creepy castle!

But...

She just can't go now.

That night, Dario handed her the papers he got. It was pretty early and impossible to get that information. Dario was just sitting and helping in GND then he got the whole evidence that same night.

As she read all the papers he gave her, it all made sense. Her father, Leonardo Alejandro Andréz, did not die due to cardiac arrest. He was killed by a demon, her mother.

She was sold by her mother to King Mondriguero to get rid of her and covered it to tell her father that it was a debt. It was faked by her mother that they only had two days to pay unless they had to send a daughter to the Black Castle, Coza, Pyrenees.

Her father thought it was a debt of her mother that is why he believed it and as the father of the household, he needs to earn more even if it's impossible. He hesitated to send Luna to the castle that time. But as he hesitated, he died that traumatic night.

It was all planned by her mother, she can't forgive her! But how? What will she do? She has no right to revenge because... she wasn't an Andréz from the first place. And concisely, she doesn't have a reason to do anything. And she was living in the household like a freeloader.

She stepped her foot to the place where she has always seen as her home... but it doesn't feel like a home. It is the place where she has to cover her face with naivetés, where she needs to do what is told to her. She has always been obedient because it is all she needs to do, to avoid her mother and sister's judgments. It is the place...

where maybe... could be her coffin. Living with demons in the Andréz household without her father was scarier than the said Black castle. This place was even more horrifying than walking in the street late at night. Because she can feel it, there aren't only two demons in this fortress, there are more... from inside and outside.

But as she made a few steps, there was a tall man walking towards her. She didn't feel any negative aura towards him although he is a strict-looking man because of his emerald eyes.

He has a clean cut that made his presence more like a businessman. She was expecting him to ignore her but he stopped before her as he lowered his head, surprising her. He then looked at her eyes as she felt this familiar kind of look.

She also had this feeling that he is somewhat... related to her. As he passed her, she stood there studying who he is and she smelled a bit of his perfume. She watched him enter the Mercedes Benz Maybach Exelero and leave.

She was still there watching the disappearing car wondering if it was coincidence or they just have the same way of expression and the same smell of perfume.

"Look who's here."

She came back to her senses as she turned her head to where the voice was coming from. It was Savannah who might walk that man to the door.

"The bitch who had her eyes on another man, just now."

Her brows furrowed.

"You are really fond of old guys?" Savannah smirked, crossing her arms and looking at her from head to toe.

"I was actually looking forward for a pregnant Luna. Or you might have given a kid to the old fart already?"

She stayed silent and started walking again directly to the staircase. She wasn't fazed by what Savannah said, she was more confused with the man who just came and what might he be doing in the Andréz household? That face was new to her eyes.

"Did you manage to drive him back?"

She stopped in the middle of the staircase as she heard her mother talking.

"Yes, mamá. He was persistent. Good thing we erased all of Papà's things."

She stilled, taking a look at her mother and sister talking. They look serious and panic was written on their faces like that man was a threat to them. So it means that the man has something to do with her father.

Before she would get caught, she continued walking upstairs to her room. After closing the door, she dropped her bag to the floor seeing this man standing near her window.

He was looking outside, to the falling snow. Her heart went crazy as if she had been waiting for this man to show up and there she was. There was this light feeling inside her and she couldn't control her lips stretching sideways, her eyes were about to tear up.

"Marido..."

He slowly turned his back as their eyes met. His long-silky-black hair is waving in the air.

His piercing turquoise eyes intently looking at hers.

His lips that were perfectly formed, have never failed to squeeze her heart.

He was standing there, wearing a Brioni Vanquish II suit like a groom waiting for his bride. But the bride wasn't walking to the aisle, instead the groom walked towards the bride who was literally frozen to where she was standing. He then wraps his right hand to her small waist as he pulls her into his chest.

He wraps his left arm to her back and fully grasps her light body into his embrace, holding the back of her head to rest her right ear into his beating chest.

It was a full silence of hearts beating for each other, hands craving to hold each other, and with that light feeling they only feel when they are with each other.

"Come back to me."

She stiffened. Her ears are heating.

"por favor." He tightened his embrace.

It was like her heart stopped beating for a second. She couldn't breathe after hearing him beg.

Begging her to come back

He stepped back and lowered his gaze to meet her widened eyes. He reached her right hand. And she gulped after looking at those piercing turquoise eyes, so close.

This is it, the feeling which she wanted to stay longer. Holding each other and looking at each other's eyes. It wasn't just plain staring. There was something more, something strange in their hearts.

"You are mí reina. mí querida. mí marida. mí esposa."

His eyes speak thousands of words but he only wants to say one thing.

"Come back to me. Por favor."

There was never a time she expected this to happen. His eyes were usually sharp, he doesn't know what expression he will make but tonight, his eyes speak it all. He was begging. His eyes were sad. He wants her.

Her lips twitched sideways as tears poured down her cheeks. She cupped his cheeks with two hands and pulled him towards her as she boldly pushed her lips to his.

She lost her balance and stepped back just to not leave his lips, but before her back slams on the door, he grabbed her waist, pulled her closer and lifted her light body. He devoured her mouth, explored her lips, and bit it. She wasn't an expert of any of these things but as long her lips connected to his. She can learn how to move her mouth.

She can't breathe. Her mouth was full and blocked, then he pulled back, both breathing hard and eyes locked. Their hands were into each other, hers were tight. He lifted her up to put her in her bed. He then lay down beside her, hugging her waist. Moments later, she was dumbfounded, staring at this sleeping man in front of her eyes. There she thought demons don't sleep but he is fast asleep than her, peacefully.

They kissed. That was... good. She reached his face to touch it with her right hand. This was her first time sleeping beside him while facing him. She could see... calmness in his face, the longing of a peaceful sleep. She smiled and caressed some thin hair on his face.

He was cursed. His whole body is hairy, including his face. His hair was longer than her, black and silky. His nails were sharp and long but polished and clean. It didn't disgust her. She simply just loves being with him. His presence in her life made her create another whole world where a human and a cursed demon can be together, no matter what.

With a smile on her lips, she leaned to touch her forehead to his.

"Good night, querido."
