Chapter 168: Settlement

Leia slid into her shirt and buttoned it up. She climbed down from the bed and proceeded towards Adrik, who was seated on the sofa with his laptop in his hand. She leaned down and kissed his lips, then made her way out of the room.

She plugged the ultrasonic speakers into her ears as she strolled into the living room. "Rita, are you there?" 

[Yes. Is everything alright? You haven't come in since the morning]

"Oh... yeah, everything is okay." She nodded, with a little smile on her lips. "So how's everything?"

[It's not really good. He wants to see my imaginary father today]

"I see..." Leia's face altered in a bit of apprehension, and as though a light bulb appeared in her head, she smirked. "Sure, bring him to the third estate. The third one!! And about your father: don't worry, I already have a man stationed out ready to act like one." 

[Oh wow. Okay] 

"Well, if there is nothing else, I will take a few hours off. There is something I need to settle. Ahh... if anything comes up, do let me know. The speakers will always be with me." With that being said, Leia took a subtle breath and walked to the room, then strolled over to sit beside Adrik on the sofa. "Adrik..."

"Yes, little wife," Adrik answered, his eyes still fixed on the laptop on his lap.

"I will be out in a while. I need to settle things." She turned on one side to look at him. 

Adrik halted typing on his laptop and turned his head to glance at her. "I see..." He slightly nodded at her before shrugging. "Okay." He returned his gaze to the laptop, and Leia's brow furrowed a bit. She stared intently at him for a while, before finally standing up from the sofa. 

She walked out of the room, and to their room, then made her way to the dressing room. She grabbed a pair of blue jeans and a fluffy dark red hoodie, then slipped into them.

She wore her white sandals, then grabbed the car key from the table and proceed out of the room.

She strolled out of the mansion and unlocked the car, then stepped in and shut the door. She turned the key to the ignition point and smoothly drove out of the compound.

Her hands tapped playfully on the steering wheel as she drove to her destination.

The moment she arrived there, a bit of anger emerged in her heart. She swiftly drove into the compound, then parked the car and stepped down. She locked the door and stuffed the key into her pocket as she walked towards the glass door.

Leia pushed it open and smiled at the receptionist, who waved friendly at her. Honestly, though the nurses might have glimpsed a bit of the misunderstanding between her and Adrik, she really doesn't care at this moment.

A deep breath to calm herself down fled from her nose, and she ambled towards the ward where Shawn was. 

She slowly pushed the door open and stepped in, then shut it behind her. She made her way to the seat near the bed and sat down, then interlocked her hands.

Shawn, who had already noticed her from the moment she stepped into the room, let out a low breath, then raised his eyes to stare at her.

"How do you feel?" She asked with a tiny bit of concern in her tone.

Shawn slowly bobbed at her with his head lowered. "I am fine."

"That's great." She nodded her head, then her face darkened a bit. "Why did you do that?"

"Do what?" Shawn asked back, as though unaware of what she was saying.

"Don't play with me, Shawn. You do know how crazy I can be?" Her pitch-black pupils stared intently at him.

"There is nothing to say. I did what I never got to do from the first time we fell in love with each other. You never allowed me to kiss you, but you allowed him to. So what do you think?" He stopped picking at his finger and turned his head to stare at her.

"So that's why you kissed me without my permission and almost ruined my marriage?" Leia chuckled mockingly and shook her head in utter letdown. "I am so disappointed in you. Shawn, you, of all people, were supposed to know that none of these is anyone's fault. Things were meant to be this way. I was meant to be with Adrik, not you, and I was also meant to fall in love with him, not you. So... no one can be blamed here but fate and the heart." She shook her head at him, and Shawn's hands secretly balled into a tight fist.

"You know, if I hadn't met him, I would probably be dead by now. Do you know why? Because the first day we met was when I gave up on the world and wanted to commit suicide. He didn't let me die but married me as a way to settle a deal with Mr. Adolpho. From the moment I stepped into his home, it was like heaven on earth. I experienced love I had never experienced before. It was like a new world and I knew at that moment that this might just be the place for me."

"So please Shawn. Stay out of my marriage and don't try to ruin it. I love you, but only as my friend. My husband is the only man that owns my heart and the only man I will ever love. Nothing, I mean nothing in this world, will ever be able to separate us. Not you, not anyone." With that being said, she stood up from the chair and stared down at him. "Take good care of yourself. Your hospital bill and everything else have already been cleared. Once you're discharged, you just have to go home." 

She smiled at him and turned around, then ambled out of the ward. Shawn stared at her disappearing back and the moment she shut the door, he began to punch the bed and cried hard. He buried his face in his palm, and tears slipped from his eyes. "Leia! Leia! You!!!"

Leia halted on hearing his ranting, and a deep breath left her nose. She adjusted her clothing, then began to walk out of the hospital towards her car.. That was the best thing she could have done.
