Chapter 136: The Future Foretold
Maximus tried to find out how he could get to the sky where he is hearing Alexandra’s voice. But he was rooted there. He couldn’t even move.
But he saw the dark clouds parting and up in the sky, like a moon, he saw his beloved Alexandra.
"Lexa..." he muttered, his voice meek as he felt like something is seeping inside him, mingling with his very blood turning it cold.
Alexandra told him something. Something he couldn’t understand. He just saw her lips move. The place he is at swallows everything.
Then he felt a wetness on his lips. The entire place started to burn. He started feeling warm once again.
’...Tubby!’
He heard her calling his name. She uses this name often now. And he loved her for it. When they are having their alone time, she would call him by this name assuring her that she is in love with his soul.
«I don’t know where I am, Lexa... But I will come to you soon!»
He decided to find a way to get out of here. He knows his wife knows the way. He was about to talk to her.
"You must love your wife so much."
The soothing voice that seemed broken as it was filled with a cocktail of emotions made Maximus look to his front. It was just a glance, an acknowledgment that he has heard the voice of the woman he thought was so beautiful some moment ago. But oddly, she didn’t have the allure he thought she had just some moments ago.
He was surprised at how soon his heart has changed, but he was happy about this change. Before he could answer her, the sky turned gloomy once more, hiding his wife’s bright face from him.
