…And No One Else

Leia shot him a glare. "A-are you messing with me?" 

"No." Adrik innocently shook his head at her. "I didn't do anything to you." 

Right, he really didn't. It was just her messing with herself.  

The man gazed at her for a few moments and stood up from his seat. He walked towards her, and Leia watched him approach until he squatted down in front of her to be at the same eye level as her. 

"I'll kill anyone you choose, little wife if it isn't me."

"What?" She was taken aback by his sudden words and confused. "W-what are you talking about, Adrik?" 

"You're mine, just mine," he said to her while smiling softly. "You don't understand how hard I had to work to have you exist right in front of me here again. I am the reason you exist, I begged for you, and I sacrificed for you to be here. I gave something in return for having you." 

She swallowed hard. "What did you give?" 

"My mortality."  

"Huh?"
