Chapter 91: Elijah, Mireya And Natalia
He crossed his legs and leaned his chin into his fist. He gaze over her face while she stared at him. Their eyes met and locked with each other.
"Do you remember when you asked me if I have someone special?" He asked.
She nodded. "That’s when they announced your engagement and you were frustrated."
He chuckled. "I didn’t give you an answer because I wasn’t sure back then. But I will answer you now. As crazy as it may sound, but I’m in love with a ghost. And if death is the only way so I can be with her, then I will gladly throw my life for her."
Her eyes were as steady as glass. She was unable to give him a response and was just staring at him.
Elijah gave a big, wild roar of a laugh. "You look stupid."
She pouted. "Because you suddenly confessed. What do you think would I feel?"
"And what made you think it was you?"
She confidently smiled at him. "I’m the only ghost that stayed by your side for years. And I was hoping that it was me."
He frowned. "What did you say?"
She blushed and hugged her legs again. "I have had a crush on you for a long time now. But as you said, I’m dead and we’re cousins. This kind of feeling is bizarre."
Then she turned to him, her face on her knees. "This is bad, right? Being in love with someone you can’t even touch. But Elijah, I don’t want you to die for my sake. I’m happy that you feel the same way. But this is our reality. You’re alive and I’m dead. You have a whole life ahead of you."
