Chapter 136: Finally

Victor stared at him for a whole thirty seconds before he cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "Well, that's good news...I guess." His tone became a bit lower as he mumbled his last sentence.

Shawn patted him on the shoulder and stood up from the couch. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his long black jacket and smiled at him. "I will be leaving now." Victor nodded at him and he walked out, shutting the door behind him.

A deep sigh fled from Victor's mouth and a sad smile formed on his face. He feels really guilty that he didn't tell Shawn that Leia was married, but... could he? I mean, it isn't his place to tell him. Leia should be the one to tell, and they could figure out how to solve things between each other. If he does go ahead and tell Shawn, then he might create a big mess, so...

He stood up from the couch and walked towards the window, then stood there gazing out to the horizon.

Leia sat on the bed staring at Adrik, who was yet to wake up from his temporary coma. The only thing that has changed is the fact that he is no longer sweating profusely.

A low sigh escaped her nose, and she tucked a few strands of his hair behind his ear. She just realized how unfortunate she would be without Adrik.

Just today, when he was in an interim coma, she felt so alone and empty. She had no one to talk to. There was no one to give her frequent hugs and kisses. Those little bits of action, she was missing them.

She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips, then on his forehead. "I love you, Adrik... a lot." She smiled and turned around, then climbed down from the bed.

She slipped her legs into her slippers and grabbed her phone from the mini table, then walked out of the room, gently shutting the door behind her.

She ambled to the living room and made her way to the backyard. It was already nighttime, and the stars were twinkling in the sky.

The lights around the house were on, so the backyard wasn't enshrouded by darkness. 

Leia turned her phone on and browsed through her contacts. She clicked on a certain number and placed the phone to her ear.

[Hello] A voice that had a British accent resounded from the other side of the phone.

"Aunt Megan." Leia smiled as she heard the voice of the woman who she hadn't seen in a few months.

[It's been quite a while. How are you, little pumpkin?]

"I'm not little anymore. I'm going to be twenty next month." She clicked her tongue, and the woman on the other side of the phone chuckled softly.

[You will always be my little pumpkin, even if you turn thirty years old tomorrow].

"Fine." Leia rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.

[What is it? I know you definitely didn't call me just to hear my voice.]

"Well... you're kind of correct about that." She twisted her lips funnily, and the woman laughed sluggishly.

[Alright, what is it?]

"Is there a possibility that you could have Uncle Bob talk to me?" 

[Huh? Why do you want to talk to him?]

"Um, it's..."

[Little pumpkin, you're aware of the rules. You must tell me or it's a no.]

Leia's face altered in annoyance at the woman's word, and a deep breath fled from her nose. "Fine... you remember the problems I used to have with my dad?"

[Did that despicable man hurt you, pumpkin?!]

"Well..." Leia began to divulge everything to her. From how she was married to Adrik, got the USB, found out he killed her mother, did a DNA test, and found out he was not her real father.

The woman on the other side of the phone kept quiet for a whole thirty seconds after hearing all she said, so Leia had to glance at the screen to be sure that she didn't hang up the call.

"Um, Aunt Megan, is everything alright?" 

[Irene is...gone.] The woman whispered with a tone that indicated she was still finding it hard to believe what Leia said.

[That wretched man killed her!! Ahh!!... Little pumpkin, why didn't you call or say anything to me?]

Leia bit her lower lip and slowly walked to the white swing and sat down on it. "I wasn't completely sure then, so I didn't want to raise a false accusation."

[Why didn't you file a report against him? Why did you allow him to treat you that way? You're not an animal that he can hit whenever he wants!]

Leia chuckled pessimistically at the woman's words and slightly shook her head. "Aunt Megan, have you forgotten who my father is? He is one of the richest men in the world. If I file a report, do you think that the police will do anything? Things will escalate in a bad way for me, so yeah, I dismissed that idea." 

[You're right. I didn't do my calculations well. Anyways, what do you plan to do now?]

Leia took a deep breath and glanced up at the sky. "Revenge." She blurted it out in a tone that held disdain. The woman on the other side of the phone went silent and a whole twenty seconds passed before she spoke.

[Pumpkin, are you sure about this?]

"I absolutely don't care if I die in the process, but I must take my revenge. Aunt Megan, you're the only one that knows of my plan, so it stays between us, please. "

[Alright, I won't stop you nor ask you to go ahead with it, but all I want to say to you is that I love you very much, pumpkin, and I hope you will be safe. Don't risk too much...] She paused for a few seconds before speaking up again. [I will talk to Bob tomorrow and get back to you.]

Leia took a breath of relief and a smile emerged on her face. "Thank you, aunt Megan." She hung up the call, then sent an SMS to Victor. 'I will meet you guys tomorrow.'

With that being done, she stood up from the swing and made her way back into the mansion.

She went straight to their room and locked the door, then strolled to the bed and laid beside Adrik. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and cuddled him to sleep.

The next day arrived, and the early morning sun rose in the sky. Adrik, who was being held onto by Leia, blinked his eyes open and glanced around the room. He turned his head and his eyes fell on Leia's face, which was so close to his.

He stared at her pretty face and reached out his hand to caress her cheek. He leaned in closer and placed a soft kiss on her pink lips, then removed her hands that were wrapped around him and got up from the bed.

Dizziness instantly overwhelmed him, and he staggered backward on his step, grabbing onto the table nearby to hold his balance.

He clutched at his head and shut his eyes. Oh God, this feeling was so awful. He has never experienced this before, and now he feels like a fish that was brought out of the water.

He really exhausted himself. Adrik turned around and gazed at himself through the mirror. He seemed to have lost a bit of weight. 

A cynical smile made its way to his red lips, and he averted his stare from the mirror. 

A low groan from Leia resounded, and he turned around to see her seated up on the bed stretching her body.

Leia blinked her eyes open, and the minute her gaze fell on him, she hurriedly jumped off of the bed and rushed to him. "You awake?" She smiled cheerfully and jumped onto him, hugging him tightly.

Adrik's face grimaced a bit, and he half-smiled. "How are you?" He pulled back from the embrace and stared at her face.

"I should be the one asking you that. You were unconscious throughout yesterday, and I was dead worried. " She pouted, and Adrik gently caressed her cheek. "I am fine, little wife." He took a low breath and moved to sit down on the sofa near their bed.

Leia bit her lower lip and took a seat beside him. She fiddled with her fingers and took a deep breath when she saw Adrik turn his head to stare at her. "Is something wrong, little wife?" He inquired, and Leia shook her head. "Nothing is wrong. I-i... just want to say sorry regarding what happened the day before yesterday. I honestly didn't know what I was doing...I was just... angry." She lowered her head and brought her legs to her chest.

Adrik took a deep breath and a smile emerged on his face. He curled his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, then began to gently caress her arms. "You know, you have nothing to apologize about because it was a good thing that you got angry that night."

Leia's brow furrowed instantly at his words, and she raised her head to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"Well..." Adrik broadened his smile and tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear.. "I finally know exactly what you are."
