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 parents’


    murder.


    ‘I 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?” Iined, sitting on the side of the


    road and yammering for thest 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 be so blinded by vengeance that they don’t realize the person they are


    mistreating doesn’t even deserve it.” That came from Lazio’s 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.


    ’Guys! We need to leave.” He returned to us and informed us, not looking very satisfied with whatever


    news he had.


    ‘Is everything—,” Lazio paused when Theo steadily gave him a gesture. Lazio understood, and so did


    the rest of us, that Theo didn’t want to say anything in front of me for now.


    ‘You can tell us it is not like I am getting banged from the left-right.” I sighed at my fate, twisting and


    bending me beyond my ability.


    ’I think we should go hear it from Kellice herself,” 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 didn’t 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.


    ‘I am sorry!” he apologized, “I am not — used to — my brain just—,” he tried exining but he kept


    failing.


    ‘You 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,” I yammered, as I didn’t feel like hiding anything or


    sugar-coating anything.


    ’Just saying!” I added while looking out the window.


    ’You don’t like mypany?” He confused me with his question. I looked in his direction and sighed.


    ‘Theo! I don’t like anybody more than you. Maybe not even myself. If you have seen me in the past two


    years-,” 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?” Heined, not turning to look at


    me and keeping his focus on the road ahead.


    ’The day you ept that you are as much a part of him as he is of you, you will not need to ask me that


    question,” I answered, watching his body rx.


    ‘But since your brain works differently,” I joked a little, “I love you, Theo!” As soon as those words


    escaped my lips, he hit the brakes so hard that Lazio’s car behind me had to hit the brakes as well.


    ’Be careful!” 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 didn’t know what the future held for me. I havee 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 didn’t lie when I told him I loved him.


    ‘You mean it?” Theo asked, his eyes watering up.


    In response to his question, I held his hand and ced 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 didn’t 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


    didn’t 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!” I said, noticing Lazio and


    Maynard’s cars slowly pull up to either side to check on us.


    ‘I wish we didn’t have so much going on.” Theo sighed.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    ’What would you do if we were in a very peaceful and less warlike ce?’ I asked him, not wanting to


    rush him into leaving. I understood he was love-deprived.


    ‘I would kiss you right now,” he uttered, his gaze traveling over to my lips.


    ’Then do it; what is stopping—,’ 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 holdingmand 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.
