Chapter 16 - Unexpected guest

~Ascaria~

The next day, Roxy woke up pretty exhausted. It was quite early so she decided to go back to sleep. When she closed her eyes, she saw him. Marcus. He looked sad. And somehow, she felt a pang of ache in her heart. She didn't know why but she couldn't bring herself to hate him. She just couldn't. It was too hard for her.

She woke up two hours later, with tears in her eyes. She missed him a lot. And that's she realized that she needed him. Sha wanted him. And no matter what the world could say, she loves him.

Turning on her side, she picked up the bell that was standing on her table bed and rang it. Her two maids entered and helped her get ready.

She was then accompanied by her maids to the dining room. On her way, she couldn't help the stars in her eyes as she walked. This place was so ethereal. She noticed that almost on every wall, was a long golden branch with golden leaves. She stopped by the next one and touched it lightly. Tears moistened her eyes again.

He had the exact same in his house. Everything felt so like him here. And she couldn't help but yearn for him even more. She proceeded to the dining room where Queen Evilyn and Eva were waiting for her.

Again, she was mesmerized by the decoration of the room. The dining table along with the chairs were in a form of cloud?!! Why does this place looks like it was taken out of a book. It looks like a fairytale.

"Hello dear." Queen Evilyn greeted her with a wide smile.

"Good morning your majesty." She replied as she was about bow down but Queen Evilyn stopped her.

"You don't have to do that nor call me 'your majesty'. Just me..." She looked at Eva a little bit unsure of what to say.

"Mother?" Roxy spoke up.

"Well if you don't want to..."

"I like it." Roxy said with a smile, and hugged her.

"Yeah!!! I have a sister finally!!!" Eva said excited "Marcus was soooooooooooooooooo boring."

"Sorry about that eva.'' And they all stood frozen, rooted on their spot. A voice they all knew very well.

'He is here.' Roxy thought.

"Marcus?" Queen Evilyn hurried and hugged him tightly. "I missed you son... So so much." She said tightening her grip around him with teary eyes.

" I missed you too mother." And he really did. He missed his entire family. But he just couldn't bring himself to comeback. He had his reasons.

"Marcus" Eva ran to him and hugged him. "Sorry about what I said earlier but sometimes you were extremely boring. But I'm glad you are back." She said with a wide smile.

Roxy turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes. And he did the exact same when he laid his eyes on her.

Queen Evilyn and Eva silently left them when Marcus took some few steps towards her, and stopped right in front of her.

He reached for her face then stopped midway. He felt unworthy of her.

" I am so sorry baby.'' He said then Roxy hugged him tightly bursting in tears. Her shoulder shook uncontrollably.

" I am sorry Marc." She forced to speak out, chocking on her words. She couldn't breathe. It felt too much. Too much for her to handle.

" No... Everything happened because of me. I never should have done that but I did. You have nothing to apologize about... Why don't you hate me?"

Roxy looked up at him and he wiped the tears. "Because I love you." She said. And she meant it

" What did you do to me?" He smile then kissed her forehead.

" I fell in love with you. That's what I did." And he kissed her.

The kiss started slowly, sensual then soon became demanding. More they wanted more. He picked her up and placed her on the table. He parted her legs so he could stand between her and she wrapped her legs around him.

They kissed roughly. He kissed her neck leaving kiss marks, branding her as his. He missed her so damn much. He wanted her. But he couldn't take her now. She didn't want that. So he decided to please her in another way.

Placing her on the bed. Wait bed? She opened her eyes and looked around.

"Marc?" She called for him.

"We are in my room love.''
