Miraculous Selection

Liar

Marinette's POV

I somehow managed to find my way back to my room. My head was spinning at the secrets I had discovered. 

I ran inside and shut the door behind me as I panted like a dog. My maids, faithful to a fault, rushed up to me and flung their arms around me.

"Miss!" Mary cried. "I'm so glad you're safe! Heaven knows what we would have done without you!"

"Thank you," I said, my arms still trembling as a reached to embrace them. "I'm glad you're safe too. This attack was deadly."

"What were you thinking running into the woods, miss? The woods of all places!" Anne scolded. Then she finally noticed my trembling body. 

"Miss...are you alright?" She said. "Miss, I think we should get you to the hospital wing. You are very pale."

"No...I just, I..." I choked out, still panting, "Please...can you leave?"

Anne, Mary, and Lucy blinked. "Wh...What?"

"Please leave...please." I begged.

Lucy was about to object, but Anne stopped her. "Of course miss. Apologies for not following your orders the first time. " she sighed and curtsied as the other two followed.

I was about to fling myself onto my bed and break down, when Lucy returned. "Miss, the prince his here to see you. Shall I let him in?"

Adrien was the last person I wanted to talk to right now, but I knew I needed answers. "Let him in."

Lucy nodded as Adrien strode in. He stood, standing probably a little too close to me. "Are you hurt?" He asked.

"No," I said. "Not severely."

He sighed of relief. "Thank goodness. I was worried."

"What about you?" I asked quietly. "What about your arm?"

"Oh, I dislocated my shoulder," he wouldn't look my in the eye. I knew why.

"How?"

"It doesn't matter."

"How?" I asked again, my voice full of authority.

He gulped. "I fell down the stairs."

I turned around, and muttered one word. "Liar."

His head snapped  up. "M...Marinette?" He reached to touch my arm, but I slapped his hand away.

"Adrien..." I grabbed him by the collar, forcing him to face me. "Does...Does your father abuse you?"

He sucked in a breath. After a minute, he said, "Yes."

I staggered backward, overwhelmed by the truth. "Marinette," Adrien stepped forward, with nothing but love in his eyes. "Please. Don't beat yourself about this."

"But...But it's my fault. Everything. Alya, you didn't sentence her to this fate, you did everything you could to help it. Your father did it. Lila, and even Chloe. Your father chose them. THe remaining candidates, your father chose them. Your father does everything. And he..he does this to you?"

Adrien sighed. "Yes, he's been manipulating everyone since ever. Keeping everyone on his sleeve to his benefit. Even...even my mother,"

"What do you mean?" I asked. When he didn't answer, I wrapped my arms around him. "Please," I said, "I want to know the truth so I don't have to falsely accuse you of anything anymore,"

"He...he's been cheating on her. With another woman. He used to fill up her wine glass over and over again till mother passed out. Then he used to do his business with her." Adrien blurted out. 

"Is...is this woman..."

"No, she's not here. She doesn't come here any more. I don't know why." Adrien shrugged.

I sighed, still keeping my arms around him, my head resting in his chest. "Life is hard, isn't it?"

"Yes it is. But I'm glad you're not mad at me anymore." Adrien cradled me.

"How could I be?" I pulled back to look into his emerald eyes. Then, as slow as our first one, we leaned in and our lips connected.

This kiss was slow, but it was powerful and conquering. We pulled back, only to connect again. Again. Our kisses began to gradually become more rough and intense. We toppled over onto my bed, laughing between kisses. We finally parted completely, sighed blissfully.

And for a moment, there was no King, no dead mom, no selection, no other girls, no Alya, no pain and stress and suffering at all.

It was just my love and I.

As I thought about it, a question appeared in my head.

Just how long will this feeling last?
