Chapter 137: The Fight Within
"What do you mean by that?" Maximus asked.
He was confused. But she made sense at the same time.
He started thinking. She didn’t go into details on how they were able to meet this life when he thought that he had lost her forever. He tried to, but she didn’t tell him everything about her.
«What this woman says... It is possible... she might be able to control her death. Isn’t she the daughter of the Great Dragon? It should be possible. This woman should be right! »
"If I kill her, I can make her forget Luke?" he asked the woman.
Last life, she killed herself. And she didn’t forget Luke this lifetime. In fact, she killed herself because she couldn’t even bear Luke’s betrayal. She accepted him probably because she wanted to get back at Luke in her own way. Or worse... she did it out of pity!
«No! She cannot pity me!»
In Maximus’ mind, everything made sense now. She is not as keen as he is to get back at Luke. She is still hesitating. She wants to "move forward" and "not look back" as she says. But who knows what she is thinking?
And he knows for sure that death cannot stop her.
And so, he decided to give it a try. He decided to listen to the woman.
He decided to kill Alexandra.
What he didn’t know is that he is getting trapped by the manipulations of the Darkness. The weakest man is the man who has something dear to his heart. The fear of losing the dearest thing makes any man a fool and a danger to himself and others.
