*****************

“We are going to get married in two months.”

That statement was akin to a sharp knife stabbed ruthlessly in her chest. Lise couldn’t believe what she just heard, as it sounded beyond absurd, but for some reason, she knew that Gael would do exactly as he had said.

“This is our engagement ring,” Gael said, he held her hand down tightly, preventing Lise from removing the ring from her slender finger. “You can choose your wedding ring later.”

Lise immediately tried to yank her hand away from his, as if she were being electrocuted when he touched her, only, it was a futile attempt. He held her too tight and she was too weak to fight him.

Lise was tired, both physically and emotionally, but Gael couldn’t understand that. He thought she didn’t want to eat because the food was not good enough, which resulted in him firing the chefs one after another and changing them until Lise was willing to put food into her mouth.

He showered her with a lot of gifts and many branded things with exorbitant prices, yet he failed to understand that was not what she wanted.

.....

Lise was so tired, thus she gave up after her first try to pull away from Gael, instead she raised her free hand and cupped his cheek.

Of course, this gesture put Gael on alert, since Lise had never touched him this way. Would she strangle him? Would she gouge his eyes out? Claw him? What would she do?

Gael imagined the most negative and horrible things that Lise would do to him, but he didn’t move away from her touch, since this was the first affectionate gesture that she did to him.

With countless negative thoughts roaming around his head, he was surprised when he felt her fingers caress his cheek gently, as her eyes stared at his own sadly.

Her eyes were filled with tears and sadness...

Gael had seen the most furious and fierce gaze or the eyes that filled with bone chilling murderous intention, but he had never seen a pair of eyes that held so many emotions like hers now, it rendered Gael to avert his gaze.

He had never ever avoided someone’s eyes, but she was an exception. He avoided her gaze out of instinct because it carried way too many emotions than he could ever be able to handle.

“I don’t want this wedding,” Lise tried to talk it out with him. She didn’t have any energy left in her to fight him or scream so he could understand, thus this was the only thing she could think of doing. “Can you please let me go? I don’t want to be with you...”

Lise’s voice was very soft, probably this was the most gentle voice that she had ever used to talk to Gael, but the words and the meaning behind them had the opposite effect.

“Please Gael. I don’t even have enough energy to hate you.” Lise looked at him deeply and brushed her thumbs across his lips before caressing his jaw and down to his throat. “I feel like I want to kill you.” She pressed her thumbs against his throat, but not hard enough to strangle him. “But I simply don’t have energy to do it.”

Finally, Gael shifted his focus back to Lise and looked her straight in the eyes. “Why?” He held her wrist, but he didn’t pull away from her. “I will give you everything, but why don’t you want me?”

Lise shook her head. “You took away everything from me and left me with nothing.”

Silence engulfed them, the stillness so loud until the two of them could hear their own heartbeat, until Gael decided to break it.

“Then you can try to kill me all you want, if that’s the only thing that can make you strive for life.”

“Do you love me?” Lise asked him all of a sudden.

“Yes,” Gael replied without missing a beat.

“That’s not love, Gael. That’s not love.”

“This is the way I love.”

“By making me suffer?”

“I want you to stay by my side and not to leave me.”

====================

Blue walked out of her school and while the other children were fetched by their parents or their chauffeurs, she needed to use public transportation. Knox wanted her to get used to this city and Anne couldn’t help her to convince that vicious guy otherwise.

However, this afternoon, something magical happened.

Blue saw a tacky red sports car that caught the attention of many pairs of eyes, it was parked right in front of the lobby and now she was walking toward it.

However, when she was about only a few steps away from the car, Blue turned to her left and walked toward the gates instead.

It didn’t take long before the car’s engine was revived and followed beside her, as the window rolled down.

“Hey, do you not know my car, or you are just simply ignoring me?” Gael shouted from inside the car, he tilted his head to look at the white haired little girl, who threw him a nonchalant glance.

Of course Blue knew who was behind the wheel.

“Hop in,” Gael said, yet when Blue kept walking, he groaned in annoyance and got out of the car to chase after her.

“What are you doing?!” Blue shrieked when she found herself being lifted by the waist and then carried to the car. “I don’t want to sit inside your ugly and tacky car.”

“Hm, I think I need to work on your taste, you have a bad taste,” Gael grumbled because the little girl was being annoying and they drew too much attention.

After that, he put Blue inside the car and buckled her with the seatbelt, so she wouldn’t go anywhere. At least, not before he sat down behind the wheel again.

“Why are you here?”

“I am in a bad mood.”
