The meeting of that day was upon them, but no one talked to anyone.
Everyone seemed afraid of each other, and was here only because they were forced to.
Yes, except one person, that was Jonathan, Alex's cousin and the son of the women, that was now clinging to Alex, like a maiden in love.
Jonathan was shocked and at the same time happy, seeing his mother walking on her own, but his happiness came down as he saw Alia kissing Alex voluntarily.
"Mom, you can walk and see? " asked Jonathan to his mother with tears of happiness, who right now was sitting on Alex's lap, as Alex's hands roamed over her body.
"Who is he Alex? " Alia sounded irritated, as she asked the identity of the heathen that was calling her mom, she was still young and loved Alex!
"He is your son, Jonathan... Didn't I tell you about him? " Said Alex, he seemed sad, but made sure that Jonathan could see his hand inside Alia's blouse.
"W-What?!... You're not my son! Get out of my sight !I am only Alex's!" Alia yelled at Jonathan who was beyond heartbroken, as he saw his mother holding Alex's hand even more tightly.
But that's when a beautiful mature women, held him, "John... she seems to have been brainwashed already... it's not your fault... you can still save her later on. "
"Yeah, you can save her, in your dreams, she is mine and for your information I will make her my women tonight, as for you, you will be begging for my cock soon enough too, " Alex laughed looking at the women.
"You son of a bitch! I will kill you if you touched my mom! " Jonathan swinged a punch against Alex, who got hit on purpose.
"Alex! Are you alright?? " Alia touched the place where he was hit and stood before Alex protectively like a mother chicken protecting its chick.
"No need Alia, it was my plan now that he has used violence here, he will be punished, " Just as Alex said this Athena materialized before them.
"You, once again? you sure are living a life...sigh", she said and then looked at Jonathan.
" As a punishment, you will have to provide Alex with 50,000 points ", she said with a plain voice.
Jonathan who now was already sane was shocked, " What!? 50,000, It was his fault, I won't pay anything Bitch! what Godess? you are also in cahoots with this bastard! " yelled Jonathan at Athena.
But before he could realise what he had said he was disintegrated into nothingness, he didn't go back to his body in real world, he simply died there.
"Pathetic mortal! " said Athena and disappeared, as if nothing happened.
Everyone went silent, they all were shocked, they also understood that Jonathan was dead, he was killed.
Blargh! Blargh! Argh!
They saw the women beside Jonathan vomitting, but she wasn't like that because of sadness for Jonathan's death.
With Jonathan dead, the brainwashing effect from her was gone, and now all her emotions came back.
And biggest of them was disgust and fear, disgust for herself for doing all those things with Jonathan
and fear because she did that all by her own heart.
'A normal response for someone who has gone through a severe trauma of death, she had died and now came back to life, even if she wasn't brainwashed again she will never be like her previous self, and if she was brainwashed then she will have her will destroyed completely ', thought Alex as he looked at women.
Her name was Serra, he knew about her, she was a kind women who once helped Alex when he fell down from stairs and was crying.
At that time she held little Alex to her bosom, and said,
"Close your eyes for a minute and pain will go away, " said Alex as he held Serra to his heart.
Serra stopped crying as she now softly looked at Alex with her, snot and tear filled face, her eyes met his.
For Serra her world came to a stop, as she looked at Alex, she saw a small boy crying in her arms just the way she was right now.
She smiled softly, this was not a smile filled with pain, this was a smile of relief, and then she fell back in Alex's embrace, asleep.
This happened because Serra wanted nothing more than a straw to hold onto and seeing someone familiar, her mind went off to save herself.
The hall went silent once again, everyone felt the dread of this Game now, here they can loose everything they have... even their lives...
At the same time, looking at Serra sleeping in Alex's embrace, every women in the hall, brainwashed or not felt terrified, they wished that they will never have to go through this again.
"This Game...it won't destroy this world, but a war never ceases without losses, most of you women will face the same darkness Serra is facing, so for everyone I can say only one thing... If you choose someone as your man, make sure he will protect you to an end, " said Alex as he sat back on his seat.
He held Serra to his heart without touching her inappropriately, Alia also seemed to have understood the situation as she also didn't move from her seat.
Like this meeting ended and Alex brought back still asleep Serra with him.
Once inside the confines of his room, Alex ordered one of his slaves to make a bed for Serra, upon which Alex gently laid her.
Then he sat beside Serra, waiting for her to wake up.
Alia went back to her room along with Anya, Alia actually felt very glad seeing this soft side of Alex, 'My Alex is always kind. '
She then told Anya about her and Alex's life and everything, making Anya slightly jealous of her own sister.
Anya had accepted her role as her Master's wife, so she also hoped for a romantic story like that one of Alia's.
On the other room, Serra woke up, as per Alex's time it was midnight.
[ Serra's Pov ]
When I woke up, I found myself in a completely new room, with a boy dozing off in front of me.
I lost myself back then...
The feeling of loosing control over myself was nightmarish...
It was disgusting, I couldn't believe the way I acted...
I looked at the boy in front of me, I know him, he was such a crybaby, I still remember that time...
And he does for sure too...
I have always paid attention to Alex since that day, may be it was involuntary...
I then kept looking at him, remembering how he held me in his arms, carried me to the bed.
Actually I wasn't completely asleep, I could feel his tender touch.
Poor Alex, just like me he is also going through so many things.
My son and I were tricked by those boys and I fell in that Johnathan's clutches.
I now hated that being with passion, but it doesn't matter he is already dead.
And the one who saved me is...
I turned to Alex once again, but now he was looking back at me, his shining hazel eyes...
"Are you okay? " he asked.
"Hmm... " I nodded.
Then silence descended... I felt awkward.
But his presence was calming, may be I would have freaked out if he wasn't here.
"Alex... " I started.
"Yes Big sister Serra? " yeah he always called me big sister when he was small, but then we stopped talking as he grew up.
I am happy he still remembers...
"Will you make me your women now? you see I don't mind..." I asked, I don't want to... but if it's with my little brother Alex I will bet this last one time, I don't wish to live anyway...
"Big sis... you don't need to do this... no, rather I won't touch you even if you asked me, I can't imagine what you're going through, " said he.
"But you forced all those women... " muttered Serra
"Yeah, I did... and I will do the same thing again if I got the chance... but I can't... I can't act the same way with you, not now when you are back to your real self, " he said, his affectionate eyes fell on me.
I am glad, he is still my little brother that he used to be...
But there is nothing for me to do... and I can't go back... not like this... so I better end everything.
"Big sister Serra, join me... not as my women, but as my big sister, stay with me forever, " his eyes bore into mine.
Did he know what I was thinking? perhaps yes...
"In this path, I will destroy and steal lots of women, I will destroy many of them... so I want you to help them, help them to keep living deep inside themselves even if they lost, I will return their freedom to them once this all is over, but up till then I need you to help them, " said Alex holding my hand.
His tone was genuine, I also want to help those women from going through what I have gone through "But... I thought you don't care about them? " I said as I remembered the condition his women were in.
"Yeah, I don't care about them, they're only my tools for victory... but still I don't want them to loose themselves completely... I know it's selfish... but still I want someone who can connect them to me and only you can do that because you're my big sis, " he said.
I closed my eyes, I felt it and understood...what Alex was saying was total bullshit... he didn't care about those women at all, he will not bat an eye if they all died.
But he cares about me, he is doing this all to to give me a reason to continue on...
How silly, seeing him come up with some reason that even he doesn't believe in...
I almost laughed, but let's not break this link...
"Okay Alex, I will do my best to help them all... I promise, "
Yes, I promise, I will help them all not because you told me to, but because I want to.
And I will make them all love you more than ever, even if you don't love them back.
Because I love you my little brother, and will do anything for you, who has given me this new life.
Thank you Alex and here's is the proof of my love.
A small kiss from me to seal this promise, the promise to forever be yours!
And then my lips fell on his...
