Chereads / My mortal consort / Chapter 31 - It's a deal

Chapter 31 - It's a deal

*Morsi's mansion*

(The next morning)

Nessy woke up, feeling very uneasy. She felt really tired and weak. She felt pain at various parts of her body, and was really not very healthy. She sat up on the bed, and looked around her only to realize that she was still in the strange room from last night and probably the same house. She stood up, trying to recall what happened last night, how she broke free from his hold and now found herself on the bed. She thought and thought, but couldn't recall a thing. The only thing she remembered was that the strange man whose name was... Shit*! She couldn't remember, kissed her! What?! He did kiss her, without her permission and against her will.

On recalling this, she became weak again and lay back on the bed. She turned around on the bed, as tears welled up in her eyes. She tried so hard to hold it in, because she really didn't want to shed her precious tears for him, nor did she want to dwell on the thought. But she couldn't help but cry her eyes out as she just felt so much pain that he kissed her. Why did she feel this way, like he had done something very wrong to her, that his kiss to her, infected her purity with darkness, and she should never near. Strange! ' she thought, she had never had this ill feeling that he was bad and dark, just like the man even though they emitted the some dangerous aura, expect for the fact that his was in a wrong way better, as his was coupled up with the level of darkness that she was scared of him, at the very moment she saw him. But couldn't let her ego down, because she wasn't sure who he really was and wouldn't present herself vulnerable to him. But now her ego has landed her to somewhere she really didn't want to go, abused!.

She kept rolling on the bed and shedding tears as she silently cry profusely. She kept crying until the upper bed became wet with tears and she now became very weak. As she dozed off unknowingly.

Few minutes later, Aposis walked into the room. He walked straight to where she lay on the bed, and pecked forehead, which he realized was very hot. He drew away and studied her for some seconds then realized that she looked pale and sick. He sighed loudly as he ran his fingers through her soft face, to remove some strands of hair on them and tucking them behind her ear.

He felt so satisfied this morning. Nut afterall wasn't the dummy goddess he thought she was. Although her cover was blown, she still managed to rekindle she and Geb's love for each other. She gave the best news this morning, something his ears itched to hear, and he had just come back from speaking with her.

Finally Geb was out of his way from having Nessy all to him self. All he had to do was to help them get back to their time in the ancient Egypt, and then he would have this world and his Nessy all to himself.

*Nessy's mansion *

(Last night)

"And the only being that brought light into this world of darkness you have put me into, you dare take away" he said as he grabbed her neck again but not squeezing it yet.

"Where is she? " he asked again in fury as he hazel orbs were burning already.

"Right where she belongs" Nut said without fear.

"Aaaaaaaah " she screamed as he squeezed her jaw instead of her neck, so as not to strangle her.

"Geb please stop! Pleaseeee aaaaaah" she cried in pain.

"Tell me where she is and l will stop " he ordered, hoping she would give up already and stop being stubborn.

"Just stop this already Geb, l will never tell you anything. So just give up already and stop torturing when you know fully well that you can have me and l mean all of me". Nut cried desperately.

She knew better than to tell on Aposis, regardless of the fact that Aposis might destroy her soul, if he learns that she told Geb about his master minding and manipulations in the whole game of fooling him and taking away his Nessy from him, she would never let ty be together again. She might have failed on her own part, but one thing was for sure, she wouldn't let that useless mortal take her place by Geb's side. If she couldn't have Geb, then no one could!

Geb let her go immediately. His fingers were stained with blood, her blood. He had pierced her jaw with them, making her jaw bleed and his fingers stained with blood. He took few paces away from her before speaking again.

"I am so sorry Nut, please forgive me. I should not have despised you thus way, afterall you have done and sacrificed for me. I am really sorry". He pleaded as he bowed his head a little.

'What?! ' Nut couldn't believe her ears. Was Geb really apologizing to her? Is this really happening? Was he really sorry about all the pain he had cursed her lately? What's going on!

She blinked and rubbed her eyes several times, to be sure that she wasn't in a daze or imagination. But realized that this was really happening! Geb was really apologizing to her.

"Really? " she asked him in surprise. "Are you really sorry for what you did to me? How now despise me and chose that stupid mortal over me? "

"Yes Nut " he said as he cupped her face. "l am very sorry. Please forgive me". He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her jaw with it, cleaning the blood that tickled from her wound.

After cleaning the blood, he cleaned the one on his fingers too. After cleaning, he put back the handkerchief into his pocket and cupped her face again. He gave her the most affectionate and apologetic look as he spoke to her. "I didn't know what came over me. l think its because of our separation due to our so called forbidden love. But the fact remains that l still love you and forever will so nothing can change that fact". He said as he kissed her forehead.

"I don't believe you " Nut said sternly. She may want this with all her life and will, but she was still not sure if he was true or not, and she didn't want to fall victim of his deceit, how he fell victim of hers. "Prove to me that you mean every word you pronounce now" she said to him as her blue orbs sought dominion over his mesmerizing hazel eyes.

Geb knew Nut couldn't read him, and that was his upper hand against her. He now realized that she wouldn't spill on purpose, so he decided to take the risk of giving her what she wanted, just to get what he needed from her. His confession to her right now were all fake, the affection and show of care, were all to pull her into a trap and get her to reveal what she had done with the true Nessy, his consort.

"How shall l prove to the that thou art so much loved by me? " he asked in his god tone convincing her more.

'Was that his god tone that she just heard him use' Nut's whole being bubbled in joy, but she didn't let him see, as she requested what she wanted from him in a serious tone, sinking all her joy into her. "Follow me to ancient Egypt, let's go back home ".

Geb expected her to request something huge, maybe even for him to officially make her consort. But her request of her wanting them to go home sounded worse than bearing with her in this world.

"But the sun god, the supreme father would not want to have us back , and definite want appreciate us still together" he said with worry in his eyes like he cared for her, but his real worry was that he wasn't going to be with his again.

"No Geb he is now powerless over the both of don't you see. If he had the will over us, he would destroyed our soul and not cast us out of his reach. He is no longer supereme over us and we must go back to our time and stake our claim as superior over him by dethroning him and ruling Egypt ourselves, as the supreme father and mother of the whole Egypt". She said to with a confident smile, hoping that his response would be positive.

Geb sighed, but he had to agree with her, if he wanted her to spill the beans. "Ok then Nut. We shall return back to our time in the ancient Egypt. But only on one condition " he said with a stern look.

"Anything my love " Nut replied desperately.

"That you shall promise me to let the mortal return to her abode and no harm shall befall her. I would not like innocent mortals suffering because of me " he said with pleading eyes.

Nut knew it wasn't in her power to let Nessy go, as Aposis already had her. But she knew better than to blow this chance. Then she blurted

"Its a deal"...
