Chapter 113
Natasha's heart skipped a bit, her eyes widening in disbelief, "Stab Drogen? What do you mean?" She asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"You do realize he is in love with you right?" Drake asked coldly and Natasha nodded.
"And you also know what could happen anytime soon," he asked again, Natasha hesitated, her fist clenching.
"He is fine for now, nothing has happened yet," she replied firmly, tears blurring her vision.
"You really think so? Take a look at the necklace on your neck, his life essence is slowly fading, and he knows that, but he still chose to remain with you. Don't you think he has sacrificed too much for you, don't you feel bad for him?" Drake asked, his voice growing deeper and more tense by the second, it was clear that he was getting angry.
Tears now flowed from Natasha's eyes, she knew that Drake was saying the truth, and it hurt so bad just thinking about it.
"I would have found a way to separate you from him when you both met again, but I thought he wouldn't recognize you being that he had forgotten everything about the past, but the bitter truth is, the heart cannot deny what it once desired, I could have tried to do that now, but drogen would never allow it, he is willing to go against me just to protect you," drake added, his fist clenching against the arms rest.
"So what now? You want me to kill him? You know i would never," Natasha snapped, her eyes growing defiant, her emotions bubbling.
"This dagger won't kill him, it would just make him forget you, I can allow you to spend a few days with him, just a parting gift, try to create fond memories that you can keep for yourself, but the limit is 10 days, after then, you must stab him with this dagger. It's been embedded with my spirit energy, only meant to wipe you out from his memories of you, it wouldn't harm him in any way." Drake explained, showing Natasha the dagger.
The bubbling emotions were too much, and without holding back, Natasha collapsed on the floor, sobbing like her soul was being ripped apart.
She was going to make him forget her, it felt like she was being told to rip off a piece of her own soul, but at the same time, doing this would guarantee that Drogen wouldn't have to die.
"Why me? You can find someone else, I don't think I can do this..." She said, her voice trembling as tears streamed down her eyes, she felt completely helpless, and she had no one to turn to at this point.
"You're the only one who can do it, Drogen never lets his guard down around anyone except you, you have to do this if you wish for him to live. I sympathize with you, that is the reason I allowed you 10 days to make some fond memories that you wish to keep, after that, you must stab him, otherwise, I'll come for you myself." Drake warned, his eyes darkening with a promise that he meant every single word.
"If I stab him with that dagger, he is going to forget everything about me?" Natasha asked, her voice shaky. Drake nodded, "everything, from the moment he met you till the last moment when you would stab him."
"And he won't die right?" Natasha asked and Drake nodded in approval.
Natasha let out shaky breath, then she wiped her tears and stood up straight, her resolve now awaken. If him forgetting her meant that he wouldn't die, then she was more than willing to make this sacrifice.
"Just 10 days right? And I can decide what memories I would make isn't it?" She asked, wanting to confirm their terms. Drake nodded, Natasha stretched out her palm, and the dagger on Drake's hand materialized in her palm.
After making the deal, Natasha was returned to her body, Drake programed the dagger in a way that, it wouldn't appear until Natasha was about to use it to stab Drogen.
As Natasha regained her consciousness, she sat on the bed, her heart pounding, her resolve was strong, and she had already made her decision. Just ten days left, that was more than enough.
She looked down at the necklace around her neck, it was still glowing. Her fist clenched, this meant his life essence was fading away, and she didn't know all this time. She slowly stood up from the bed, her legs wobbled but she quickly regained balance.
She made her way to the bathroom to take her bath, then she changed into different clothes and decided to return home to Drogen's apartment.
As she walked inside, she found that he hadn't returned yet, he was supposed to go for the business meeting the next day, but he had also told her he was leaving on a mission after work, which meant he hadn't returned yet. Natasha Walked inside her room, she stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself, her eyes were slightly puffy from over crying, she had cried her heart out in the shower.
After removing her accessories, she headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner, she was going to serve him now, give him all the love she could, she was going to shower him with all the care in the world, ten days was a short time, but would be worth it.
She was still preparing the meal when she heard Drogen arrive, his presence was brooding yet too comforting to go unoticed.
Drogen perceived the aroma of food coming from the kitchen, and he followed it to find Natasha in there, preparing dinner and wearing the most sexy red dress in existence.
A smile curled on his lips as he approached her quietly, Natasha could feel his presence clearly, but decided to play dumb and pretend she didn't notice he was coming.
Once he got to her, his arms wrapped around her waist, burying his face in her neck and inhaling her scent, "I missed you," he confessed, kissing her softly, instantly sending raging butterflies to Natasha's stomach. If these fluttering feelings he gave her was enough to get one pregnant, she would have given birth tirelessly by now.
The thought of getting pregnant and carrying his child gave her an inexplicable emotion of joy, and when she remembered how that time would never come, tears started to well up in her eyes again.
