Even the purest of all angels can make the devil fall harder than when he fell from heaven

I watch as she sleeps peacefully. She will truly be the death of me. I just hope I won't be the death of her.
"My sweet Arabella" I whispered to myself. "I do really hope I am not the death of you".
I look at the clock on the wall. 2am. I could use a drink. I walk out the bedroom to my study. As I pour myself a drink I heard the door open behind me. I already know who it was.
"I thought you were sleeping" I said turning around to her and leaning on the wine rack table.
"I was but then I couldn't" she said quietly.
Something was off.
"Arabella is something wrong?"I asked sitting down my glass and walking over to her.
"What did you mean when you said you hoped of not being the death of me?" she asked.
She must have heard what I said in the bedroom. Now that she knows about her recurring lives it's time to tell her about what happened in each of them. I took her hand and lead her to the sofa and sat her down.
"What I'm going to tell you isn't something you're going to like" I said.
"I don't care tell me. It's okay" she said with a smile.
"The first time I truly first met you was 1523. I fell in love with you harder than I fell from heaven. You were the most beautifulest woman I've ever seen. You were wild. But with what I was I knew I couldn't be with you. It was at the time when my father came with the idea for me to take the throne" I began. " You told me you had feelings for me but I couldn't let our relationship go longer so I let you be with Nathaniel. At that time I didn't hate my brother as I did now. He offered to take care of you. And I was much obliged".
"I was with Nathaniel" she said with disgust in her voice.
Believe when I say it was the wrongest decision I ever made.
"But then I couldn't stay away from you while you were with my brother. We started to have an affair. I gave you a choice to leave when things started to get complicated. Instead of leaving me you decided to leave him. He was furious" I continued.
"What do you mean when things got complicated?"I asked.
"The prophecy" I responded.
"The prophecy about me having a child with you right?" she asked.
"Yeah" I said scratching my back of my neck. "You know I'm not going to force a child on you".
"I know you won't" she said with a small smile.
"The thing about the prophecy was that in order for it to come true you have to fall in love with both of us but choose me in the end. But if you don't and you choose Nathaniel then a new prophecy will come" I said." One that is to be sure of the destruction of the human race".
"Xavier I will never pick Nathaniel. He's not good" she said as I chuckled. "What?"
"It's what you said the last time" I said as she frowned.
