My heart was thumping wildly In my chest as my eyes started watering, no no no! I did not want this to happen! Please let this be a dream! Please! As the hole of the mirror increased my will for living decreased. Everything happened in slow motion, I saw the minute glass pieces shattering in air, his cold yet Crystal clear blue eyes were set on me, as the mirror pieces touched the floor his face came into view.
"Please no" I said under my breath
My throat was tying knots, if only I had kept my thoughts shut! If only I wouldn't think out loud!
"Come out" He said, his voice colder than usual, all the humor, all the amusement left his face as if they never showed up on his face.
"Please" I whispered once again
"Do you want your father to live?"
My eyes widened as a hiccup escaped my lips,
"You wouldn't" I said as I felt a mixture of sadness and helplessness flow through me...which eventually led to anger and frustration.
He smirked arrogantly as he asked
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Why would you? Why?! Why me?! There are so many girls! Why me?! I don't wanna be your play thing or anything in your life! Just leave me and my dad alone! We were having a good time back in our home, I had some very good friends! A beautiful life and-and..." I couldn't speak further since I broke down, you know what frustrates me the most right now? The fact that I am having my biggest weak moment in front of the person I absolutely hate! My blood was boiling in my veins, I wasn't crying because I was helpless, I was crying out of anger! I was just so furious and I couldn't do anything to him because I'm the weakling and he is the superior being! I can't even protect my father! I'm just so pathetic! A pathetic weakling!
"Stop it, come out or else you will lose your father like you lost your mother, your dear Avery's life is on the line because of you anyways"
My heart broke, my mum died after giving birth to me , Avery's life is on the line because of me, dad is in danger because of me, Andrew is god knows where because of me....I ruin everyone's life, only if I hadn't took birth then mum would've been alive, Avery would've been with her family right now enjoying the things she deserves, dad would be alive and happy with mum....only if I wasn't there...only if I wasn't born. I need to think sensibly, I lost my mum, I can't lose my dad, I'll do anything for him. Even if it means to sacrifice my life just to keep him alive..I WILL DO IT.
I sniffed one last time and wiped my now dry tears as I looked at him,
"I will come and never try to escape.."
He rose his perfect brow at me,
"...if you give me your word that you will not harm anyone who is in my life, my dad, Avery, Andrew and anyone whom I have ever crossed"
He scoffed as he said,
"Why would I do that? Even if you escape I will get you like now--"
"Are you willing to try and find me for the rest of your life? If you give me your word I will stay wherever you want and however you want, I will never even think about fleeing even if you treat me like a slave, I will never protest" I said determined to take his word. He stared at me straight into my eyes, scrutinizing my soul but I stood my ground, trying to prove that I am being honest.
"And what if you try to escape?" He asked
I gulped, what if I tried to escape? That idea is tempting even now but I cannot be selfish.
"I will never" I said truthfully
"What if you do?" He asked slowly as he took measured steps towards me, his aura is enough to make me feel disgusted.
I stepped out of the space and stood before him, I looked up in his sharp eyes as I said
"I will never"
He stared at me for a solid minute as if trying to explain things to himself, as if he was having an inner debate.
"I will not kill you if you escape"
My brows shot up as he caught me off guard. He took two steps closer so that, now we were one step away from each other.
"Instead, I will shred you, limb by limb" He said shooting his icy glare, my stomach dropped in my butt as I got frightened. I could feel my posture going from being confident to a scaredy cat,
"Is the deal still on snowflake?" He asked as he traced the side of my face with his warm fingertip sending chills beneath my spine, I let out a shiver, he is hideous, I despise him and will despise him through the eternity. I took a deep breath and pushed his hand away as I said
"Yes, as long as you hold the end of your deal"
"You have my word" he announced as he offered his hand, I looked at his palm then at his face, you disgust me Amadeus.
"Shall we?" He asked
"I want to meet my father first" I said, I wanted to make sure that he was fine, I wanted to meet him one last time.
"This wasn't included in the deal"
"This is my wish....please?" I asked like a pathetic weakling I am, he said nothing but gave me a curt nod.
"He is downstairs" he said and without another thought I ran downstairs, I want to hug him to my hearts content one last time....one last time.
Tears streamed down my face as I saw his limp body on the couch, I sat down beside him as I took his face in my hands. He opened his eyes to slits as if having no energy to open them fully.
"C-Cor-ra...d-don't g-o" he said under his breath
"Shhh, everything's fine, i will be fine until you are fine dad, you are my life" I said truly as I hugged him, he secured his weak yet firm hands around me.
"I love you dad, I can and will do anything for you" I whispered as I kissed on his cheek, streams of tears rolled down his cheeks,
"No no, don't cry dad, I love you, please don't cry" I cried
"Time's up" I heard Amadeus' voice
Dad frowned,
"I love you" I said as I kissed him one last time on his forehead
"What? No!" he said as I stood up, i cried silently as I looked at my dad, my hero who was helpless, this hurt me even more, I would rather die than see him in this state...again, all because of me.
"I love you" I whispered as Amadeus took my hand in his and walked us out, I couldn't stop my tears as I heard dad shouting not to go with him.
Prince Amadeus opened the door of the carriage of me and I walked into it, followed by him sitting in, we were sitting side by side, I preferred to look out of the window as the carriage had started moving.
