Chapter 465: A grand ceremony needed for three words
Sebastian placed her under the shower head, looking at her from head to toe with an expression that was hard to decipher.
"Today I felt something, Princess," Sebastian whispered before starting the shower at a slow drip so he could talk to her.
He fell on his knees before looking up at her, the water falling in his eyes, making Elliana’s eyes soften. She instinctively stepped forward to shield him from the water so he could look at her without any difficulty.
"What is it?" She asked, touching his mask softly.
"This... What you are doing... I realized this today," Sebastian said before he snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her closer.
"You shield me, princess. You shield me from my own negativity and stop me from being the monster I am. Because the moment you left my side, it was almost as if I lost control over everything. It wasn’t a good feeling, princess," Sebastian said, placing his head on her navel.
She looked at the man who was showing his vulnerable side to her and felt like the biggest cheater in the world. Her eyes brimmed with tears for the umpteenth time today.
It was true in a way. She was cheating him by hiding the truth from him.
He thinks that she is his protector, the reason behind his smiles and calmness, but what will he do when he realizes that she is also the reason he is like this in the first place? It wasn’t her fault, but according to what Nathaniel indicated, it was someone from her witch family who put this curse on him.
A rogue tear fell from her eyes and she blinked her eyes before placing her hand on his hair.
"I will always protect you from negativity, Mr. Marino," Elliana whispered, promising to help him with this curse and return all the love he missed from his family and people.
