It's been a few days since I've stayed in Liora, in my good friend Annabelles palace. It's nice here and they even let me bring in my pets.
I miss Elijah dearly but I do not wish to be with an unfaithful man. I hugged Ace tightly as I walked down the halls.
"Will you accept?" I looked at Annabelle. "I don't know. He's so handsome though." She smiled. "But I heard there's a search for you Stasia. He is going to find you soon." She said.
"Can't he just let me go and go be with that other woman." I mumbled. "You left before he could even say anything. Was that the smartest thing to do?" She says and I frown. "I do not know. I should have thought about it." I sighed.
"Are you hungry?" She asked and I nodded.

I was playing chess with Annabelles brother when she rushed in.
"His Majestys here. I couldn't not let him in, one of the servants must of told someone." She sighed. My eyes widened, "It's only been a day." I groaned.
"He's in the gardens. I told him I'll go and get you." She mumbled. I sat up. "I'll be back." I whispered and made my way outside.
My breath hitched when I saw his back facing me. His big build could never go unnoticed. It's like he sensed me and he turned around immediately and I almost wanted to hug and cry in his arms.
"Angel.." His face softens. "Elijah." I looked away, he walked closer to me and reached his arm out but I stepped back. His eyes saddened then he cleared his voice.
"We are no longer married, I d-", "It takes two signatures to get a divorce. We are still bound to each other." He almost mumbles and I look up at him and cross my arms.
"I do not want to be with someone who is unfaithful." My eyes teared up. "No. Angel please listen to me.." He says and I look down at him in shock as he gets on his knees.
"That night she put something in my drink that made me be overwhelmed by lust. I wasn't in my right mind and I don't remember anything, Philip is my alibi, he was there when she confessed." He said and my lips parted.
"I killed her of course. Anastasia you are the only woman I have ever loved and will love, no other women get more than a little glance from me. I only have eyes for you, my beautiful wife." He looked up at me. "Please don't leave me...please."
I started crying and fell to the ground hugging him tightly. "I'm so sorry. I should have let you explain." I cried into his neck as he held me. "It's not your fault." He whispers kissing my cheek.
"So sorry." I repeated and leaned back to look at him. He smiled and wiped my tears. "A man like me does not deserve your tears," He says and I cry harder. "Awh my Angel." He pulls me closer patting my back.
"I-..I missed..y-oou so mcuh." I hiccuped. "Pardon?" He tilted his head. "I..." I looked at him then his lips. I sniffed then kissed them softly, he smiles and holds the back of my neck to kiss me harder.
We pulled away and rested our foreheads against each other.
"Well having her here was nice while it lasted." Annabelles voice sighed from behind us. I turned around giggled. "I will make sure to visit you heaps." I said as Elijah lifted me off the ground.
As I talked to Annabelle he hugged me from behind and his fingers trailed up and down my body. "Will you attend the bear hunting competition?" Annabelle asks.
"Possibly." I pushed my lips. The touchy man behind me started kissing my cheeks and neck. "We should head back before the sun sets." He whispers in my ear and I nod.
I leave his arms and hug Annabelle tightly. "Thank you for being there for me." I smile. "Of course." She hugs me but then suddenly I was pulled out of her arms.
"Elijah." I narrowed my eyes but he didn't seem to care and carried me all the way to his carriage.

"Your back!" Margaret smiles. "Yes." I chuckled. "I'll prepare a bath." She rushes to the bathroom when I nod.
When she was done I undressed myself and sat in the bubbly bath. "Hello gorgeous." Elijahs voice gave me a fright and I turned to look at him taking off his clothes.
"Why are you greeting me like we weren't together a minute ago." I raised my brows turning and looked down. "A minute is a long time." He chuckles and sits next to me.
"It's really not." I mumble then smile when he wraps his arm around me. "I missed this." He hums in to my neck and kissing it. I giggled because it ticked.
"That feels nice." I closed my eyes when he started rubbing my shoulders. "I love you." He says randomly and I look away. "You don't have to say it back I just wanted to tell you that." He kisses my cheek.
