CHAPTER 31

FAREWELL

♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡

Leo covers my eyes with the scarf he had prepared in the car and made me sat in the shotgun seat.

"Should we really use a car when we can simply jump and ran?" I asked getting a little excited and nervous.

"Chill babe. You don't want humans to discover a vampire queen to be wandering freely in the buildings." I am pretty sure he was smiling while he starts the engine and started driving.

"So we're going to the human lands? But blindfolding me is weird itself Leo..." I pouted.

"Don't worry. I won't put you in trouble." I felt his hand grip mine giving me the assurance that I will be safe. I held his hand back and relaxed my stiff shoulders. I may not be able to see anything but I am extremely happy just to be with the love of my life and death. There is only one thing going in my mind.

Just a little more time remaining...

I still have regrets about not being able to do everything in my life.

Mostly involving my family.

I didn't even get to be queen for a year to say! Not to mention even an anniversary of marriage.

"We're here." I think it was more than 20 minutes when we finally reached the destination. He let go of my hand and I heard the doors close in his side but mine opens up in the next second. Leo assisted me going off the car and we started walking. the place smelled familiar.

Leo slowly removes the blinds and I was stunned to see where we were.

[Flashback from Chapter 2]

I just woke up from getting anaemic I think. I need to eat.

I stood up looking for Leo and I didn't fail. He was doing his last shoot after the drama with the other co-stars. He stood more among the staff aside from the fact that he was the lead actor in a white tuxedo and pants.

"Hi. You're Leo's P.A. right?" I turn to my right and the leading lady Seth stood tall beside me with her three inches shoes which she is having a hard time walking on.

"Yes. Can I help you?" I followed her eyes which looked at me from head to toe.

"It really makes a person wonder why a billionaire actor like him would just hire someone dressed horribly old-fashioned. How much did he promise to pay you? I'll cover it all just leave his side."

I giggled on purpose. "You're so funny Seth." I place my hand on my waist and raise my brow at her though it wasn't my thing. "You know what? You're pretty, famous, loved, rich but... honestly rotten."

"What did you just say?!"

"I believe you heard me clearly, Seth. You don't know me nor Leo personally that you can simply make simple-minded and stupid assumptions and requests... Please excuse me." I walked away leaving her glaring at me.

"Had a fight, Selene?" Leo smirked approaching me after the shoot.

"Shut up Leo. I'll just eat." Leo suddenly grabs my arms pulling me close in the middle of the crowd.

"Excuse me, cameraman!" He waved to the guy who did their photoshoot.

"Yes, Leo?"

"Can you take my picture with her?" My eyes widened.

"Are you serious? No way am I doing that Leo. Let go." I glared at him.

"You can't eat unless you listen."

I sighed answering "fine" since I never win against his reasoning and orders. He IS still my master. "Just one."

"No. Get into the dressing room and wear the dress I got for you."

"You got me a what?" I raise my brow at him. "You know I don't wear dresses."

"I got it while you were sleeping soundly. Do it and I'll reduce teasing you. Promise!" He raises his arm making the promise posture. Do I believe him or is he lying?

"Vampires are so cunning," I whispered close to him then walked away towards the dressing room locking the door. I saw the dress which made me uncomfortable. It wasn't just a simple casual dress but...

It was a wedding dress for heaven's sake...

A WEDDING DRESS!

"Dress quickly Miss Assistant! We don't have all day for Leo's request." I heard the cameraman spoke from outside the room.

"Just a second!" I replied scratching my bunned head.

Oh geez! Whatever!

I took all my clothes off and tucked myself into the dress hanging perfectly on my waist. I remove the scarf replacing it with a ribbon and saw the shoes and got on to them. Two inches? LOL! Leo is so dead later!

I look at the girl in the mirror and I feel and look absolutely different like I don't know myself. The dress glittered wondrously with all the satin layers and sequence. It was also a tube which made me have a weirder feeling.

I open the door grabbing all my courage and walk to Leo who was staring at me with a smile.

A smile that you wouldn't expect a vampire to do even as your master. His smile was heart melting.

I could also feel cold stares and stabs from the crowd... "You are doing this on purpose aren't you?" I knock his right shoulder. His hands swiftly grab on my arm pulling me close making my heart beat faster.

"All that's left is..." He grins as I stood up straight. His hands travel behind me removing my hair in the tight bun making it sway smoothly to my waist.

"Leo!" I frantically screamed not caring what other people would think.

"Shh... It's nearly time to show everyone that you're not just my P.A. Selene." He whispered close to my ear.

"What?!" His hands travelled fast on my cheeks sending me the frozen chills as he remove my glasses placing inside his shirt pocket. "What the hell are you doing? Give my glasses back!" I tried grabbing back he kept chuckling goofing around.

"Are they dating?" I stopped when I heard one of the extras glare at us fiercely.

"NO!" Seth replied looking straight at me. "She's JUST his assistant" and smirked at me. I clenched my hand.

"Shh..." I turn to Leo who keep shh-ing. Leo's hands traced my face. "We're ready!" He smiled at the cameraman who positioned before us.

"Why... are you doing this?" I whispered close to him as he continued tracing my face.

"You look stunning." A blush exploded in my face as he crept his hands on my body and the camera started to shoot continuously.

"Closer please and smile!"

"You heard him!" Leo tucks his hand tightly on my waist as he stood tall behind me. I lean my back on him and felt his breath on my neck.

I believe Leo remains clueless of what I know.

I raise my hand circling around his closed my eyes only hearing the sound of the clicking camera.

[End Of Flashback]

"A good and bad memory." I giggled linking my hands on his arms. The place was silent with only some humans passing by. He suddenly pulled something from his pockets and placed it on my face swiftly. I took a step back when my sight dilated as I remove it. My eyes widened seeing what was on my hand.

"I can't believe you never returned them back." It was my large framed glasses.

"You didn't have a blurry eyesight so I thought there's no point in wearing one nor returning them... Except for today." I folded them back and slipped it into his hands.

"Take it." Then I gave him a peck on the lips. Leo smiles at me sweetly displaying his white teeth. "It's been long since everything changed and everything's going to change soon enough."

"And everyone still thinks I'm on my honeymoon." This time, Leo gives me a peck as we walk towards the fountain. I could clearly remember the sweet announcement/proposal Leo did on national TV. It was embarrassing but I'm very proud and happy even just remembering it.

[Flashback from Chapter 16]

I finish today's work around 6 pm and met Leo in the dining hall. "You tired?" He asks pulling me into his side on the couch allowing me to rest my head on his broad shoulders. "Not physically but mentally drained."

"Your energy will return once you see the conference." I raise my head from its position and looks at him seriously. "What is it?"

"Just watch... Ok?" He grabs the remote and turns it on to the entertainment channel pulling me back very close to him. The commercials ended and it was time for 'The Special Coverages on Artists.'

"TSCA has finally caught up with the busy hunk, actor of the year Leo Johnson! There was so much story within his life in and out of showbiz especially with the last conference we had."

I look at him with a smile. "You? Hunk?" He pecks my lips then turns back to the TV with a smile.

Reporter: First of all congratulations for your big achievement. How's life treating you, Leo?  I mean how are you grasping all these things?

Leo: Thanks. Umm... I am very thankful and glad of all the blessings entering into my life. I really appreciate everything and everyone supporting me.

R: How about your love life? We 've got the scoop that you turned down all the girls that were trying so hard to have you look at them.

Leo chuckles cutely in the screen.

L: Umm... I'm actually... in a relationship now.

R: Oh? Really? Do you want to tell everyone who the lucky girl is?

L: If I did, then those girls would eat my girl.

I punch Leo lightly on his chest as he chuckles. "But it's true," I commented.

R: How long have you been dating this mystery girl?

L: As long as I can remember. Ha-ha!

R: Any message to your girlfriend and to your fans watching?

L: To my fans, thank you so much for the support and trust you guys are showing me and all the messages. Love you all. And... To my girlfriend...

My blood started to go fiery as the camera focuses on his face showing his very handsome expression. "Listen till the end." The Leo sitting beside me whispered.

L: I know we've been through so much and we will still have harder challenges in this journey but I don't want to lose you or even let you go for a second. It was a big mistake before but I'll change the way it was... I... I want you... I want us... To spend a forever... An eternity together. I love you so much.

A tear suddenly fell from my eye listening to the TV.

R: Aww... Let's get it straight. Was that a proposal just now?

Leo chuckles and walks his hand through his hair.

Leo: Well, let's just say that it will be once she sees this interview.

I turn to Leo who was smiling straight at me holding a ring on his hand. He wipes my tears with his fingers and started patting my shoulder. "So what's your answer, Selene?"

"Yes. I'd love to."

[End of Flashback]

We really had a lot of ups and downs before reaching this magical stage in our existence. Getting jealous on both parties... Getting hurt and surprised... Accepting resolves...

They all had special reasons to us.

Although it is a pity what would actually become of our future. I only know that I am a sacrifice to make sure the world does not crumble in the future when my daughter sits on the throne.

Badump!

I suddenly grip on Leo's arm and my other hand squeezing my chest.

"Selene?"

"Le-o..." I fell on my knees and he held me.

"You alright? I'll take you to the hospital!" He panicked but I shooked my head at once panting quite hard.

"It's almost time Leo... I want to let you know I am the happiest human vampire to have ever fallen for the same person in both states. It's sad that I can't watch our daughter grow up... and celebrate even our anniversary next year." I chuckled.

"Then don't leave us! Don't leave me, Selene."

"I'm sorry babe... But I'd rather sacrifice myself for our daughter and the whole race than get themselves killed in the future."

"Why do you always leave me alone? Why do you love making people sad?"

"I guess it's in the blood?" I chuckled a little again feeling a blood rush from inside. I looked on my chest and the magic circle I performed the spell had appeared on my skin. I turned to Leo and he had tears in his eyes.

"God no... Please no... Don't leave me..." Water swells in my eyes seeing how hurt Leo is but there was no option. I am the only one capable of doing the spell being the one carrying the blood of Selene and the thirds-of-blood.

"Take care of Ady alright?" I held his face in both palms.

"I would but still..."

"Just promise me you'll protect our child no matter what happens. Even if you fall for another person or vampire."

"I won't. I'll wait for you to wake up. I promise you!"

I smiled bitterly and kissed him hard as it is the last thing I can do. Our tears were also mixing together with the pain of leaving. The trees also swayed and rustled as if feeling the agony we were going through.

I know I will wake up one day in the future but nobody knows... Not even me nor Thana who was supposedly able to foresee future.

We broke the kiss as I felt my energy drained as my eyes started to shut down. Our foreheads rested against each other as our hands were intertwined.

"I love you... Leo... Always and forever... For all eternity...."

"I love you too Selene. And no matter how long you sleep... I'll wait for you to wake up. But don't take too long ok? Because I will miss you beside me all the time."

"I promise. Please smile Leo..."

"I love you so much." He smiled painfully.

"I love you more than you know."

I rested my head on his shoulder as his tears fell on my neckline.

"See you soon Leo... Tell Ady and everyone I love you all..."

"See you soon Selene."

I tilted my face and saw him smiling handsomely and memories with him flooded again in a split second as I close my eyes with the feeling of his hand on my back and right cheek.

The last thing I would remember was him promising a future with me no matter how long it would take.

A future that should be worth it of my sacrifices.

Everything will have an answer...

Someday....

For sure....

We won't waste our tears for losses but for happiness instead...

I smiled and then the last thing I will remember was...

"Sweet dreams my love..."
