---- Chapter 205 The world stands oblivious.

We were staring at each other like we were looking at each other after decades when it had only been a few months.

Yet in this short span so much has changed.

He wasnt the man T fell in love with.

The husband who was once my world And I? I wasn't that timid submissive doll wife of his anymore who could stoop down to any level in name of his love.

Thad a voice now.

An existence of my own.

I wasn't just Sierra King.

I was the Prodigy.

The Queen The protector.

---- ee = I see his red eyes flicker down to Adrian laying in my lap and something shifts in them.

Rage.

Jealousy.

Madness And then there was this last emotion I barely caught.

Hurt.

Something churns in my stomach, and I felt like a heavy weight has dropped on my chest Regret.

Betrayal.

Why am I feeling like this? Why does he still have the power to make me feel this way when he himself gave me all the reasons to stop loving him.

I didn't do this.

He did this to us: We could have had a happy ever after.

I fell in love with this man.But his obsession made me sick.

I felt like a bird who he asked to fly, but when I flipped my wings, I found them clipped by him.

He wanted me to stay tied to him, to be dependent on ---- him, to never leave the ground...

but thats not where a bird is meant to be.

It's meant to soar, to fly, to live Just like I am meant to save lives, to do good.

His love was suffocating me, choking me and I just couldn't breathe anymore.

I know he loves me.

Even now those red eyes of his monster scream that to me.

Xavier is still somewhere there inside him, fighting him to save me.

But I am afraid I cant return his love anymore.

T cant give him back anything in return My grip on Adrian tightens and I snuggle my face into his chest.noveldrama

And then I see that crack in the monsters eyes Those red orbs flicker back to his original greys for a second and I swear I heard a low painful whine leave his snout.

Iam so sorry Xav.

---- eee = Tam sorry.

But my decision has been made.

I was ready to die.

And its not your arms I desire to be wrapped in when I take my last breath Iam content here.

Adrians eyes flicker down to mine, he understands what I was going through and he placed his palm on my head and laid a tender kiss on my forehead T close my eyes.

Ready for Xavier's monster to rip us to pieces if needed.

He will not leave Adrian.

I know.

But before touching him he will first have to kill me.

I will have no regrets I chose my daughter.

I chose myself.

I chose Adrian.
