Celestia's eyes widened in surprise, those jet black hair, chiseled jaw, and his charcoaled colored eyes! Her heart began beating faster, it started to pump in an unstable rhythm as she looks at his familiar stature. At that moment, time ceased to exist as the moon meets the sun, an eclipse.
The man in front of her, wearing a suit with not a single crease to be found, his cufflinks made of pure gold matches his gold watch and necktie, a black fur cape flattened on his broad shoulders, making him look so regal.
Her body trembled at seeing him after four long years. His facial features are still the same only now, he's more mature and more powerful.
His aura exudes authority, power, and dominance. An invisible barrier surrounds him, telling everyone he's not a person you want to mess up with if you wanted to live longer.
His eyes bore on her like a hawk to its prey, cold and ruthless.
"A-Adam" her voice croaked as she reaches out to him, her eyes must be deceiving her! This must be a dream! Adam will never look at her that way, with those dark icy orbs of his.
Celestia felt shivers ran through her whole body, she can't find the courage to continue speaking at him.
'He's right there Celestia! What do you think you are doing?! You waited for this, your children waited for this moment" her other self said. The people inside seem to be fading in her sight, embarrassment is no longer an emotion in here.
Not 'her' children, 'their' two adorable children are waiting at home, always eager to see their father. The father who doesn't even know they exist.
Without bothering to reach out a hand, his cold eyes bore on her eyes, piercing through her soul once again but this time not with the same warmth she used to feel.
"Throw her out" his deep voice sent chills to everyone in that room but heartbreak to a specific person, Celestia.
Three words, three damn words are enough to shatter her again!
"Yes, your highness" the bodyguards who are just waiting for his orders immediately followed.
Her heart clenched as she struggles again, this time using her mastered combat skills, she will not let go of him the second time around.
Throwing her heels at them, the employees looked at her incredulously, this woman is looking for a death sentence!
However, Celestia is damn serious, to hell with her new job!
She dodged the bodyguard's hands, passing through four of them with her small body, everyone is unable to react at how fast everything happens, all they know is that the girl, started pulling Theavarian's new emperor by hand, forcing him to run together with her.
Logan moved a few steps, as her hands intertwined on his, growing an annoyance towards the girl, he is now the one to drag her back to the elevator with brute force. This time, he used his personal elevator so that no one will intercede.
The employees who are lined-up to assist the departure of the emperor was still left with their mouths hanging open.
On the other hand, the bodyguards were left in confusion, first, they are wondering how did that little girl managed to get her way out in a blink of an eye, second, they are thinking of finding a new job as soon as possible.

"What the f*ck is your problem lady?!" he cursed as he lets her go harshly. He just finished visiting the last department he needs to observe and he is definitely in a bad mood due to many shortcomings the company has.
The CEO in this company is being inefficient, he went to make a surprise visit but what greeted him is the CEO with piles of paperwork in his table and has only been drinking for one week straight!
Excessive drinking, one of the effects of Amor Gevaar...
On past occasions, Celestia would've told him to stop cursing but now, she really doesn't know what to do.
She is trying to surpass her tears, she promised Aiden and Eden she will not cry anymore...
She's scared of him but her adrenaline rush got her better, she doesn't know what to do! She needs to talk to him.
"I-I-- d-don't you remember me?" her voice shaking, almost close to breaking down, as she looks up to the man she used to share love with.
"Are you someone significant?" his voice not angry but hard.
Celestia did not respond, Am I someone significant you ask?
'I'm just the mother of your kids! You Idiot!' she wanted to reply but chooses to zip her mouth. She still can't get over the fact that he's a changed person.
"If not, then don't waste my da*n time" he was about to step out on the elevator, they are on the highest floor now.
'No, no, it can't be!' her emerald eyes now foggy with approaching teardrops, she grabs him again by his clothing, not thinking too much with her wobbling legs.
"Wa-it, last question, do you love me?"
'Stupid, stupid, stupid Celestia, He doesn't even remember you!'
"Love? F*ck love" he said with pure disgust as he looks at the lady in front of him.
