The Moon Loved Her

Chapter Fifteen

I brought Killion to my study and handed him his copy of the contract.

"Killion... I made this contract based on both our interests. Also I have to tell you that I agreed to marry you for certain reasons that can only be revealed after the wedding... But if you have any condition you can write it and I will accept it ..."

"Do we really need a contract to marry?"

"This way you won't be afraid of treating me just like your parents did."

"I guess you are right..."

"Do you have any condition?"

"Yes... Please take out the money... I certainly don't need money. If within a year you divorce me, I will accept it and make sure you won't have to see me again."

For some reason I felt my heart ache when he said that. Did I fall for him again? Why do his words feel like knives stabbing me?

"Killion you don't have to go that far. Keep the money as my compensation if that time comes... "

"You don't understand... I don't marry for money neither do I divorce for it. I love you and if you don't I will have to leave."

*Sigh*

I felt a weight on my heart as I scratched out the part that talked about the money.

"Do you really have nothing else to ask?"

"I have..."

"Tell me... I will make sure to do that since you are already in a disadvantageous position"

"You have to try to love me. I don't ask for anything more or less."

"I will try to..."

I really want to tell him that I already love him but if I do I will feel vulnerable.

His eyes lit up and sparkled like aquamarine stones of the best quality.
After writing that clause to the contracts we both signed.

After signing, Killion seemed very happy. Like the happiest man alive. I am finally marrying the man I love.

"Killion let's marry in a week."

"Yes! The sooner the better!"

"I have to talk to my family and ask the emperor to marry us ."

"I agree..."

Killion seemed overjoyed about our marriage. Marrying the man I love after five years of seperation did make me happy but deep inside my heart, I could still feel anxious.

I couldn't show my anxiety to Killion. I don't want to make him feel guilty. Killion went back to his house and I could finally see my children.

I rushed to their room and fortunately they were awake. When they saw me, Astro and Selene ran to me excitedly.

"Astro, Selene my lovely children~ Mommy missed you~"

"We missed you too mommy! Selene and I studied a lot and then played with Jonathan"

"Yes mommy, Astro and I learnt a new game!... Mommy? Is that man healthy now?"

"Yes Selene! He is fine now and he went back home"

"Mom can you do us a favour?"

"What is it?"

"Please tell us... Is he our father?"

I felt guilty of hiding the truth from them and Killion...

"Yes... That handsome man is your father."
