129 Chapter 129: Heart Skips For A Second

“You don’t seem happy.”

Emy turned to Reed, who was just next to her. Jasmin and Avery were dancing on the dance floor, which they watched while sitting.

“I’m happy,” Amy said.

Reed smirked. “We can dance...” Reed said.

“Huh, I don’t want to. I don’t know how to dance.”

“Yes, you can. I’ll take care of you.” Reed stood up, grabbed Emy’s hand, and pulled her closer to the dance floor.

Reed put Emy’s hand on his shoulder, and his hand slid down to her hip. Emy gasped. Even though she was wearing clothes, she could feel his warm palm. She had goosebumps, but she was even more surprised when he brought her hips closer to his body.

“Just follow my movements...” Reed whispered.

It was as if Reed was hugging her at that moment. Her body moved slightly as if he was being cradled.

.....

——

Devin was hanging out at Eve’s house. It drinks wine with Dynhir. The cousins ??were surprised when Devin went to revisit them.

“You plan to take her away from Reed...” Eve said, laughing. “Then now it seems like you’re the one who got robbed.”

“Emy doesn’t even remember him anymore. He’s still forcing himself.” Devin said, then took a drink.

“So, what’s your plan? It’s your chance to grab her,” asked Dynhir.

“Will you help me?” Devin asked.

“I’m out of there. I don’t want trouble with Reed.” Eve said. “Dynhir, if he plans to kill himself for you, then it’s up to you.”

“You are a coward, Eve,” Devin laughed.

“I’m not a coward. I still enjoy this world, so I don’t want to die.”

The two men did not answer. Devin turned to Dynhir.

“Will you help me?” Devin asked.

“I can’t possibly help you, I might not be able to control myself, and I will be ahead of Emy so that I won’t help you.”

“Jeez, you guys are too scared of Reed.”

The two did not speak again.

—–

“You still don’t remember?”

Emy closed her eyes as she rested her chin on Reed’s shoulder. They are dancing on the dancefloor, hugging each other. However, everything is noisy and chaotic because the music is rock. Reed and Emy seem to have their world.

Later, Emy was surprised when she noticed that everyone had become silent. No noise and no movement. She immediately let go of Reed and continued to look around. Even those that translate into glasses have also stopped.

“Wow. Emy said in amazement.” she looked at Reed smiling. How did you do that?”

“Let’s sit down,” Reed said.

Reed grabbed Emy’s hand and pulled her closer to the table. The two of them walk through the crowd of people while they don’t move. Later it started to be noisy again.

Reed immediately drank the beer and took a deep breath after. Emy can’t remember anything. Reed finished a beer bottle in just one drink, and Emy noticed that and kept up with the man. Reed was even surprised when Emy slightly bumped the beer bottle she was holding in Reed’s hand.

“Cheers,” Emy said, smiling.

About twenty minutes later, Emy felt dizzy. Emy rested her elbow on the table and looked at Reed. The young man turned to her and noticed that Emy’s face was red.

“I think you’re drunk,” Reed said.

“Why so?” Emy asked.

“Why what?”

“You’re a good kisser.”

“I know. You used to like my kiss.” Reed was slightly surprised when Emy’s tears fell. “Hey, why are you crying?”

“Because I don’t remember you,” Emy said, crying. “But my body and heart know you, but my mind...” Emy wiped her tears. “I do not understand..”

Reed held Emy’s hand; then, he wiped the tear on her cheek with his thumb in his other hand. He breathed a sigh of relief because Emy’s body and heart remembered him. Emy’s mind, it will take a long time before she gets to know her, so he has to replace a way for them to create a new memory of Emy.

“Stop crying...” Reed said. Reed pulled Emy’s hand and hugged the girl. “Nothing will change.”

——

Emy and Reed caught up with Devin sitting on the stairs. He just looked at them as they walked closer to the stairs.

“Looks like you two enjoyed it..” Devin said.

“Yeah, my husband and I went on a date,” Reed said.

Devin frowned because of what Reed said, as if he was making it look like he had no right to Emy.

“Did you enjoy yourself, Emy?” he asked Emy.

Emy smiled and then nodded. “Yeah, we went to the bar with Avery and Jasmin.”

“And you didn’t even tell me?” Devin asked Emy. “I drink too.”

“I’m sorry...”

“Are you upset because we didn’t invite you?” Reed asked.

“Yes. If you don’t remember, I saved Emy. Does that mean you owe me money, and then you’re doing this? Are you ignoring me?”

“So you’re charging now?” Reed asked.

“Will you give me what I want?” Devin asked. “I want Emy and the throne but because I will consider it. You choose what you want out of the two.”

“I already told you that I won’t give Emy or the throne to you. Ask for something else in case I think about it.”

“I don’t want anything else. It’s either the throne or Emy that will complete me. Now choose Reed because I will not allow you to treat me like this. You’re taken me for granted.”

“I won’t give you anything,” Reed said. “If you want to get the two things, you must kill me first.”

Devin smirked. “What if I kill someone else?”

Reed frowned. “Never involve Emy’s family.”

“Devin, what....”

“Then it’s up to you, Emy,” Devin said. “Which one of us?”

“Devin, what are you talking about?” Emy asked.

“You have to choose. Me or Reed.”

“Devin, I don’t want to choose between you,” Emy said. “You are both important to me.”

“Why? Do you remember him?” Devin asked.

Emy didn’t answer. “You don’t have to choose her, Devin. Because you have no right to do that to her.”

“No, right? If it weren’t for me, she would be gone now.”

“You two are right...” Emy said, annoyed. “If you’re going to blame me for saving me, you wouldn’t have saved me at all.”

Emy hurried to the kitchen, and Devin and Reed looked. Both of them were surprised when Emy took a knife from the drawer. Devin and Reed teleport together.

“What are you doing?” Reed asked.

Emy handed the two knives to the two men. “What do you want to kill me? Or I will kill myself.”

“Emy...” Devin said.

“It’s just me...” Emy said, then put the knife on her neck. Emy was surprised when Reed stopped her.

“Stop..” Reed said, then pulled the knife that Emy was holding. Emy saw the black liquid drip onto the floor.

“Then stop arguing!” Emy shouted. “None of you can own me because I don’t belong.”

Emy quickly ran out of the kitchen. Devin took a deep breath and placed the knife on the table before walking out of the house. Reed looked at the knife he was holding. There was a black liquid there that was his blood.

Reed was sitting on the sofa watching Emy sleeping. He didn’t know how many minutes or hours he had been sitting there watching Emy. Reed stood up and lay down next to Emy. He didn’t disturb the girl even though he wanted to hug her. Reed thought about what Devin said, but Reed couldn’t give up the throne. When he does that, the war will surely start again.

Their realm just fell silent when he was seated as the new king. Everyone is afraid of him. Maybe he is being punished now because of being a cruel leader.

Reed raised his hand and placed it under the pillow. Later, Emy moved and faced him. She is still sound asleep. Reed turned and faced Emy as he sat in his arms. Later he noticed Emy’s tears. She was sleeping but crying.

Reed wiped Emy’s tears. “Why are you crying, Wifey?” Reed whispered.

.....

“I- I miss you, Reed...” Emy said softly, but Reed heard it.

He stopped wiping Emy’s tears and stared at the girl.

“I miss you...” Emy kept whispering.

“I- miss you too, Wifey,” Reed said.

Emy didn’t speak anymore. Reed came a little closer and hugged Emy as she snuggled into Reed’s chest. Then Emy hugged Reed.

——-

“Shit!”

Devin was thrusting hard; his length buried deep inside the woman’s core. He was so ruthless that you could hear the woman’s moan enjoying what he was doing.

Devin pulled the woman’s hair, so her back leaned against his chest. Devin started to get off the bed, gripping the woman so tightly that he almost lifted her to keep his length from pulling inside her. The woman was surprised when they went out on the terrace of her condo unit and saw a man on the other balcony. He was surprised to see them while the woman couldn’t stop moaning whenever Devin’s length was buried inside her.

Devin smiled, released black smoke, and moved the man to their terrace. It no longer has a cover which is also surprising.

“Suck him...” Devin ordered.

The woman did not complain. The man watching them seemed aroused because the woman had no more trouble hardening his length.

Devin is even more excited. He wanted to punish that girl not because she was guilty but because he was disgusted with Emy. When he felt he was approaching climax, Devin immediately pulled out his stretch and let it spurt to the floor while the woman’s body trembled and knelt on the floor.
