Annabelle's POV
As stupid as my idea looked like that was the only thing that came to mind. Richard is still there, but Thogos has taken control of his mind. It's not impossible for Richard to be able to overcome his influence. I grow up on stories about true love's kiss can break any spell. Let's see if that happens.
I held him and pressed my lips on his. At first he tried to push me back, but eventually he accepted it and kissed me back. It was like Thogos couldn't stop Richard from accepting my kiss. I need to try to see if I can link him up through our minds.
'Richard, please, you need to fight his control.'
'Annabelle....'
His voice was weak, and it was hard to hear in my mind, but I could still make out the sounds of Richard trying to fight Thogos. I couldn't bring myself to stop the kiss because I wanted to give Richard a strong desire to break out of his father control.
