After the big ceremony ended, the two went to harmony for a month in I Country, where the millions of tourists went to visit every year. The most famous tourist site was the beautiful coastal beach and thick green forest. They stayed at the coastal beach for 10 days, another 10 days in the fresh green forest, and the last 10 days they stayed in the capital city of I country.
After a month of vocation, they went back to A country for Andres's and Belinda's wedding. Their wedding was held at the same hotel as his and Fredrick's, Radford Hotel, on the 24th floor of the building. The proceeding was the same as his so he didn't need to concentrate on it too much, just occasionally clapping a hand following the crowd.
The joyful day went by peacefully. The following year, Ivan heard Belinda gave birth to a baby boy. He was named 'Jayden Andres De Godrick'. Then 2 years later, she gave birth to a pair of twin girls. As for Ivan and Fredrick, they adopted a pair of brother and sister. They only wanted to adopt the boy but the boy didn't let go of his sister's hand, so they could only take both of them. Then Ivan found that they both were a smart and sensible child, so he got no complaint at all.
Ivan had his parents moved in with them and lived together with children. The children grew up so well, they both became handsome and beautiful in their own way. Ivan's parents left them when he was in the 40s. Then soon after that Fredrick's parents also left them.
They moved back to live at the ancestor house in their 50s, they left the villa for their children. His eldest son inherited the Radford Group and replaced his dad as a CEO. His eldest daughter married into the Godrick family with Jayden. He didn't know how the two of them fell in love with each other because he had seen since childhood, they didn't talk much.
Anyway, in this life he had lived to the fullest, happiness filled his heart every single day, surrounded by cheerful children and a loving husband in a peaceful environment. He couldn't have asked for more.
Today was one of the fine days with humid air and sunny sky in the morning. He woke up by a soft kiss on the cheek by his husband. He opened and what greeted him was an elderly smiling face. He took a look at the handsome face, even though Fredrick was in his 80s, his youthful figure didn't disappear but it more liked enhanced his appeal that classified as the powerful elder.
Immediately he felt sad because he knew that he had run out of time, his death was today. He couldn't help but felt terrible when he thought of leaving behind his husband and their children. Today was the gathering day of their family. Their children would bring their grandchildren and their in-law to visit them.
Ivan hugged the man sleeping beside him and caused the man to planted another kiss on his lips. Fredrick smiled at him and said good morning. Ivan replied good morning back to him.
"I love you so much, Fred!"
After he heard this from Ivan, causing his smile even brighter.
"I love you too."
"Dear, how long have we been together?"
"Maybe a few decades already. Why do you ask suddenly?"
"Well dear, It seems like I ran out of time. I think I have to go first."
"Alright, I will follow behind you afterward."
"You will really follow me? But if we meet again, we don't remember each other."
"Well, I'll just fall in love with you all over again and make you fall in love with me too. Then we will continue to be together like this."
Ivan couldn't but smiled at Fredrick at his thought, he knew that the percentage of them meeting again was closed to zero. They got out of the bed and sat at the armchair near the window. They were holding hands, and slowly Ivan closed his eyes and no longer opened them. Fredrick started to feel the hand he was holding slowly turned cold, he leaned to give one last kiss to his lover, and then he also closed his eyes.
A tiny hand was sent on the door outside the room that the two of them were resting. The hand eventually push the door open, the little legs slowly walked into the room and saw the elder was sitting near the window. The little legs walked to them and softly called their name. Seeing that calling their name seemed not to work, the hand began to use some force to shake them. After trying so many times, and it was still fruitless, the little legs ran out of the room and called out the adults at the downstair.
The children of Ivan and Fredrick came up to the room and saw this beautiful scene of their parents in their last moment. The eldest son came to their side and took a look at their breath and found they had stopped breathing. He shook his head to the crowd and soon the sobbing sounds filled the room.
The crying adults and children in the room were unaware that a sudden thin red string appeared out of nowhere, they were still looking at the two silhouettes that were dying and kept hugging each other in their sleep. The red string one end fell on Ivan's right pinky finger and the other end fell on Fredrick's left pinky finger. Both ends started to wrap itself around the fingers, and it tied itself into a knot with an appearance of a ribbon after it finished. Then it suddenly vanished into a thin air like there was nothing.

------------------------
After his system pulled his soul from the body that he resided it, he felt some pain from the action. He opened his eyes again and saw that he had come back to the Madwell realm. He's looking around and it seemed that nothing had changed. He turned around and happened to see the black round creature, he immediately took it to hug.
[Host, are you okay?]
[I'm alright. It's just I'm not used to be in this kind of situation.]
[It's alright host!]
[It's okay. The one thing that I'm good at is easy to fall in love and easy to forget after the time pass. Although I might still lingering in those memories, it's just memory.]
[Host, speaking of which, do you feel a little lighter than before?]
After he heard the question, he was a little stunned because he really felt lighter than before. Now that he thought about it, before going to the first world, his soul felt quite heavy, like he was under a mountain or was pressed by gravity. He didn't voice out to Blackie and tossed the doubt to the back of his mind.
[What's happening? Why do I feel like this?]
[Well, host. Your soul feels heavy because you carry the sins from your world from those 9 people that your accident ... them. Now that you complete the first victim wish and clean your sins from intervening with them, one of the soul chains was released from you, and that makes you feel lighter.]
[Where is this soul chains that you're talking about?]
[Well, you cannot see them right now. Waitt until you pay back a few more people, it will become visible.]
[Can you tell me about this soul chains?]
[Sure! Basically, soul chains represent the sins that a person has committed. one soul chain means one sin. and not all the soul chains come in the same size. some are thicker and some are thinner and some are modest. It was calculated based on the degree of your sin. The worst sin you commit, the thicker the soul chain will be. As for you, your soul chains were bigger than the normal one because it involves life although it was coincident it is still counted as life.]
[I see, then how many soul chains I have?]
[Of course, you have 9 soul chains. Now that you finished paying back one life, one soul chain was released from your wrist.]
[Then where the other 8 chains?]
[There are 2 soul chains on both sides of your ankle, one on the right wrist, one on the waist, one on your neck, and one more piece into your heart.]
Suddenly he felt pain from his heart like a knife stabbed him. Anyway, he still needed to pay 8 more life, so he determined to perform well. One second later, a peaceful atmosphere was created as Autumn fell asleep on the ground with the black round creature as his pillow.
[Forget it. I'll wait when he wakes up, then I'll transfer him to the 2nd world.]
A white blanket appeared out of nowhere, lent on Autumn's body, covering his whole body, only the head was left.
