MARCO's POV

I couldn't help but to feel sorry for my own parents while watching them in tears because of what happened to Keith. Even after all the things that he'd done, my parents were still sad of his passing. They just arrived from his interment.

I wanted to prevent them from going but my mother pleaded me. After all that we've been through because of Keith, she still believed that everything happened because of Dimitri; that he was the one who was responsible of how Keith has become.

I didn't want to take away their right to see Keith for the last time so I didn't say anything aside from a nod, agreeing for them to go.

Dui, Maggie and I didn't go. It has been three days since that incident but my wife hasn't been feeling well since then. She had been spending her time in our room, lying down. I wanted to take her to the hospital but she was so stubborn and kept on saying no.

Even her mood swings were becoming worst with each passing day. Yes, we were back into each other's arms and she accepted me again, but she'd been acting like a tigress lately that I couldn't even hug nor kiss her for more than three seconds. I noticed those changes right away after the incident.

We've been sleeping on the same bed but I couldn't even score. Not just that. It looked like her trauma was coming back.

After our honeymoon months ago, we lived in Australia. Back then, I convinced her to seek for a professional help to cure her trauma and she agreed. Bit by bit, she overcame her condition until everything became fine. I supported her in every step of the way and we got the result that we wanted.

She said that my presence beside her helped her a lot that's why she managed to overcome her trauma.

I thought, everything was fine until three days ago. The night after that incident where Keith attempted to kidnap her, she woke up with her whole body shaking but I managed to calm her down by enveloping her into a tight embrace while whispering how much I love her. I tried my best to divert her attention into different topics and slowly, she calmed down...

"What happened, my queen? You're shaking." I asked worriedly upon waking up because of the sudden movement beside me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Maggie sitting upwards while hugging herself. She was trembling. I got up right away.

"I-I dreamed that Keith succeeded on kidnapping me. I t-thought it was t-true." Even her voice was shaking as she snuggled closer to me.

I didn't think that she could get affected like this because she managed to fight Apollyon with all her might during that time. I thought, everything was fine...

"Shhh." I gathered her into my arms and then kissed her forehead. "That's not true. Keith is already gone and he can't do anything to us now. And even if he wasn't dead and would try to harm you again, I would be here to protect you, my queen, because I will never let anyone hurt you in anyway. I promised you that before and I intend to do that for the rest of my life." I comforted her with a gentle voice.

"I love you so much. You don't have to be afraid. I'm always be here for you." I whispered.

She burrowed her face against my chest. "I love you too." The trembling of her body stopped. I tightened my arms around her as my jaw flexed. Because of that b*stard, my wife was afraid. If he wasn't dead by now, I would've killed him myself.
