Chapter 481
481-The Three Magic Words.
I have been losing my mind ever since I recalled Emelia and what her connection was with my parentsâ
murder.
âI am not even angry that she hated my mother. She might be able to justify her murder, but what about
my father? What has he done to her? What have I done to her?â I complained, sitting on the side of the
road and yammering for the last few minutes.
After I told him where I remembered her from, they took me out on a car ride, and after we were far
away from the mansion, they sat me down on the roadside to let me vent.
Sometimes people become so blinded by vengeance that they donât realize the person they are
mistreating doesnât even deserve it.â That came from Lazioâs personal experience.
Maynard was also standing with his car, silently staring at my face and looking all sad.
Theo seemed to be on call. I wonder what was going on with him.
âGuys! We need to leave.â He returned to us and informed us, not looking very satisfied with whatever
news he had.
âIs everythingâ,â Lazio paused when Theo steadily gave him a gesture. Lazio understood, and so did
the rest of us, that Theo didnât want to say anything in front of me for now.
âYou can tell us it is not like I am getting banged from the left-right.â I sighed at my fate, twisting and
bending me beyond my ability.
âI think we should go hear it from Kellice herself,â Theo suggested, and as soon as he took her name, I
knew it was bad news.
I nodded and rushed into the car with him. I was pretty certain that Christina must be wondering what
we were doing roaming around together, but it didnât matter, honestly.
The car ride was filled with silence, but then, as usual, something happened to Theo, and he started
humming out of nowhere.
I turned to him and stared at his face in bewilderment. After realizing I had been staring at him, he shut
up and adjusted in his seat.
âI am sorry!â he apologized, âI am not â used to â my brain justâ,â he tried explaining but he kept
failing.
âYou are not used to controlling an entire human body? because you are not meant to be a human. You
are not only causing pain to Thiago but to yourself as well. You definitely will start acting differently
when you stay long enough in this human body,â I yammered, as I didnât feel like hiding anything or
sugar-coating anything.
âJust saying!â I added while looking out the window.
âYou donât like my company?â He confused me with his question. I looked in his direction and sighed.
âTheo! I donât like anybody more than you. Maybe not even myself. If you have seen me in the past two
years-,â I was going on the same rampage when his head nod silenced me.
I understand all that, but that was for Thiago. What about me?â He complained, not turning to look at
me and keeping his focus on the road ahead.
âThe day you accept that you are as much a part of him as he is of you, you will not need to ask me that
question,â I answered, watching his body relax.
âBut since your brain works differently,â I joked a little, âI love you, Theo!â As soon as those words
escaped my lips, he hit the brakes so hard that Lazioâs car behind me had to hit the brakes as well.
âBe careful!â I grunted at him. He turned to me in his seat and watched my face in shock. I knew the
timing was wrong, but I didnât know what the future held for me. I have come to terms with the fact that
ups and downs are going to be a part of my life, and instead of drowning in sadness and sorrow, I will
take some time out to praise those who deserve it.
I knew he was suffering with me, so I wanted to help him understand what my feelings were for him so
that at least he could be at peace.
And I didnât lie when I told him I loved him.
âYou mean it?â Theo asked, his eyes watering up.
In response to his question, I held his hand and placed it on my chest, making him hear my heart beat
faster for him.
I would never lie to you, Theo. There was a time I didnât know how to feel about you, but there was
never a time that I hated you. I just thought maybe you were not in your right mind, and because you
were made by a curse-you would take some time before you adjusted. And those were the reasons we
didnât let you out. We were afraid you would scratch someone or hurt someone, but we never saw you
as a monster, Theo. You were just a disturbed creature, still my creature!â I said, noticing Lazio and
Maynardâs cars slowly pull up to either side to check on us.
âI wish we didnât have so much going on.â Theo sighed.
âWhat would you do if we were in a very peaceful and less warlike place?â I asked him, not wanting to
rush him into leaving. I understood he was love-deprived.
âI would kiss you right now,â he uttered, his gaze traveling over to my lips.
âThen do it; what is stoppingâ,â Before I could finish, he leaned over me aggressively and crashed his
lips tightly against mine. I was so stunned that my moan escaped into his mouth.
His body was holding command over mine, making me lean back and deepen the kiss with him. He
tilted his head, rubbing his lips hard over mine, and then sucked hard on my lower lip.
I wanted my hands to roam around his body and grab every inch of it, and I believe he wanted to do the
same as he kept grabbing the chair or anything around in devastation.
