"Killion they don't deserve it. Keep your anger for people who are worth it."

Killion looked at me with a sad expression and then pouted.

"Wife~~ why would they treat you so bad? Your husband wants to punish them~"

The Greys were even more scared about the personality change of Killion who was giving them death stares a moment earlier.

I patted Killion's head and gave him a smile. I turned my gaze to the Greys and saw that Jace maintained his stern face.

"Jace you seem to not regret treating me like you did."

"Silvia no matter how angry you may be about how we treated you, you never understood us."

"I still can't."

" When you came to our home and introduced yourself as Silvia, we knew you wanted to be our sister... Which orphan wouldn't want a family?... But your name wasn't actually yours. You wanted to be part of the Grey family but you actually wanted to become the real Silvia..."

"That's right! I wanted to. The fact that you hated me meant to me that the real Silvia was irreplaceable. That's how much you loved her... In fact I wished to be treated like I was her-"

"How dare you!"

"I do dare... If I went back to the past where Duke Grey asked me to become his daughter, I would reject the offer... Had I known that I would be treated as such, I would rather die from the cold."

"What?"

Jace muttered angrily.

"I know you have your own troubles but don't you dare compare them to mine... Yes! I wish I was Silvia so that I would be treated at least a little better... Even though you hate me for thinking that I coveted her place, you treated me worse than an animal. No. A slave."

"What do you mean?"

"Compared to your worries about Silvia... My life has been much harsher."

"You!-"

"Have you ever begged someone?"

"!!!"

"Have you reached to the point of starvation? Have you ever really begged for a tiny piece of bread? Have you ever drank rainwater?... I bet you haven't... You may think that this is harsh but you treated me worse than that yet you are here thinking that I will benefit you or save your wretched reputation."

"Sil-"

"I am not done!... Let me tell you that I hate you... You knew I was an orphan yet you framed me for stealing something that I hadn't even imagine it existed before. You see... In the streets, a clean dress is considered luxury."

"!!!"

"You knew everything yet you did your best to destroy me... Taking your sister's position? Yeah sure! I would love that if it meant that you would actually treat me as your sister."

Killion who was carefully listening, snapped. He gave the most ominous death glare he had and groaned to the Greys.

"Disappear!"

The Greys who were still trying to think of a way to make me guilty, to get their hands on my money, finally left.

Killion was looking at the floor. I went closer to him and touched his head. Immediately his muscular arms enveloped me in his soft embrace.

I got flustered. His soft hug was very comforting. His low voice that tickled my ear was smooth.

"Silvia. You did well..."

Those four words, somehow touched a place in my heart. For some reason this was the sentence I want to hear the most.
Killion had somehow diescovered and exposed a part of my heart that was hurting.

I wrapped my hands around Killion and felt his hot tears wetting my neck as his head rested on my shoulder. I stroked his soft hair and sighed.

*Sigh*

"Its okay Killion... Now I am very happy to be with you. The past is in the past."

*Sniff*

"Silvia... You suffered a lot of things..."

"Yes but it's in the past."

Killion raised his eyes and gave me a determined expression.

"Silvia I will make sure... No! Certain! That you will be happy from now on!"

A tear slided from Killion's pretty face and I felt touched by his words. I tightened our hug only to find out how much of a pervert I became. I could feel his muscles brushing against my body.

I didn't know if it was the right moment to act like that.

"Killion~ be careful."

"Mm?"

"If you continue acting like that, I don't know for how long I can hold back"

Killion inhaled quickly and nervously. I pushed him lightly and he fell on the soft couch of the drawing room. His face turned red and Iswept my hair back.

Killion couldn't resist. He was very turned on. I unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his six pack. He took off my dress and exposed my naked body.

As he could see everything, I felt embarrassed. His body was warm and flawless. I went on top of him and gave him kisses...

...

We had a good time.

We went to eat dinner with Selene and Astro. The kids kept talking about what they learnt today but my mind was plagued constantly by images of today's sleep with Killion.

I blushed and my heart kept beating like a drum. Killion noticed and let out a laugh.

Then Astro asked

"What happened, why is mommy red?"

"Yes mommy are you sick?"
Selene asked.

I got even more flustered. Killion was trying to hold his laughter and his cheeks puffed. I took my revenge by pinching his cheek that let out his minty breath.

*Pfff*

The kids laughed at this sight and Killion pouted with a slightly red cheek.

After the dinner the kids went back to bed and Killion and I went to the bedroom.

I opened the window and saw the beautiful moon. It was already a full moon. The sky was brighter than the other nights.

The clear air smelled lavender. The calming effect of this plant made me feel so comfortable about this spectacle.

Killion stood behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. I felt that his big warm hands could easily hold me without struggle.

I turned around and saw his beautiful face. His skin, white as the lilies, was highlighted by the moonlight. His hair shone like black diamonds. His eyes were shiny and blue like the morning sky.

He looked like a god.

Suddenly, pictures of him appeared on my mind. He was not the Killion now. He looked younger.

Speth!

What are these?

Contractor... Your lost memories...

My head hurts.

If I do something about it you might forget him forever contractor.

Then don't!

I held my head as I let out a groan.

*Argh*

Killion came to my side worried.

"Silvia! Are you okay?"

"Killion... It hurts..."

Then I passed out.

It wasn't the kind of passig out I had experienced until now. It's not dark and cold. Memories from eleven years ago flash through my eyes. Memories with Killion.

We used to share food.

We talked about our situations.

When I told him about me he was miserable. I bet he cried later that day.

We took oaths to protect eachother!

It seems that we both loved eachother long before six years ago.

He never abandoned me... I did. An I did it harshly.

I am the biggest scumbag. The worst!

...

I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed. Killion was resting his head at the side of the bed while sitting on a chair. His hand was softly holding mine.

I was so sad. I made him suffer so much just to fulfill my stupidity. I took out my other hand and stroked him gently.

He seemed tired. He probably took care of me the whol time. His eyes had dark circles. I got up and moved him to the bed. Fortunately he didn't wake up.

I laid beside him  and hugged him to sleep. A few seconds later I heard him murmur

"Silvia... Please wake up~"

"I beg you~"

Then he wept quietly. I was broken. I caused him so much pain. I hugged him toghter ang patted his shoulder to comfort him. A few minutes later I fell asleep.

...

I felt a light shake and alertedly I woke up. Killion seemed surprised. His eyes glimmered and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Silvia you woke up right? This isn't a dream?"

"Killion!"

"Ah Thank God!"

"Killion I am sorry!"

"Eh?"

"I remember... About eleven years ago...
You never left me yet six years ago I abandoned you cruelly... I beg you to forgive- no! I don't deserve your forgiveness... I will make sure everyday to show you how much I regretted!"

"If you think so then I only need one thing from you."

"What is it?"

"I want you to never leave me again."

"Killion... I love you..."

Killion's eyes widened and he smiled brightly. He swept back his hair with his hand and said with his seductive voice

"I love you too Silvia..."
