Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 - 50

Heaven went back to the castle, but something didn't feel right. It didn't feel right to leave Zamiel alone. Something told her he was sad. The way he held onto her hand when she was leaving told her he wanted her to stay. His nightmare seemed to disturb him more than he admitted.

Was it a nightmare about his family? Or the coffin?

No. She had to go back and make sure he was alright. She had promised to protect him and never let him get hurt again.

When she arrived at his home, she was surprised to see him standing exactly where she left him. Now she got really worried.

"Zamiel." She called carefully. He seemed lost in thoughts. He didn't even notice her arrival.

He looked at her surprised. "Heaven, what brings you back?"

"I was worried." She said.

He shook his head as if waking himself up. Then he smiled. "There is nothing to worry about."

"Zamiel. I just lost a friend because I thought I was protecting him by not telling him the truth. I don't want to lose you, so lets be open with each other."

He sat down on the sofa with a sigh. Heaven went to sit next to him.

"I-I can't sleep well. When I close my eyes, I see things from the past. My wife, my daughter…" He paused, looking almost guilty that he said it out loud.

Heaven took his hand in hers. "I don't expect you to forget about them or never about talk about them. I know they will always be a part of you and I am...in fact, curious to know what your wife and daughter were like. If you want to talk about them, I'll listen."

She didn't know how to act in this kind of situation. She thought that maybe if he had someone to talk to about his family, it would be easier than keeping it to himself. Or maybe it was still painful to talk about them. She didn't know.

"My wife Gamila, and my daughter Micah they... they were my world." He began but stopped. It seemed like he didn't know what to say or where to start.

"How did you meet your wife?" Heaven asked.

Was it right for her to ask? She didn't know. She trusted that he would tell her if he wasn't willing to talk about it.

"I was at the marked one day when I heard this female voice arguing with someone. Of all the voices, hers caught my attention. I instinctively searched for her in the crowd and when I saw her, when I looked into her eyes I just knew. It was her. The one I was fated to love."

Heaven knew he was lost in his memories from the distant look in his eyes. But he had a smile on his face when he spoke about her.

"Was she the first woman you loved?" She asked, thinking of the long period he lived.

"Yes. She was. Not all of us are lucky to find the one, and I thought I was one of the unlucky until I found her." He turned to Heaven. "And now I found you. Can I be lucky twice? It feels like I am dreaming and I am afraid to wake up."

"If this is a dream, I promise to never let you wake up." She told him. "Do you trust me?"

He seemed surprised by her question. "Yes."

"Then trust me when I say I will never leave you."

He nodded.

"You said you lost your friend?" He asked.

"Oh…" Heaven didn't feel like talking about it now. "About that... I'll tell you some other time. Now I need to leave. I have to make preparations."

"Alright." He agreed.

Heaven went back to the castle, determined to only think about her mission now and not let anything else distract her. She went straight to her mother's room.

"Mother, I need to borrow you guards. I need people by my side who know what I am. You can take my guards." She said.

It seemed like her mother already knew what was going on, so she let her take Callum and Oliver without asking why.
