My Emotionless Goddess

” you promise you won’t ever leave me?” Miranda asked with a pleading voice and Justin realised that she was most scared of being Left alone. Maybe that’s the reason she had few attachments, because she was insecure. His heart ached for her. Miranda knew that what she was asking was kinda stupid bit right now, all she wanted to hear was him promising never to leave her . She had loved in the past and all her loved ones finally left her all alone in this desolate world. ” I promise you baby, In Front of your parents grave and in the name of the highest, if I ever leave you, may lightning strike…” He did not get to finish his words before Miranda covered his mouth, horrified.

” Never ever wish yourself something like that. I wouldn’t even wish my enemies that.” Miranda said in a stern voice. She just wanted his word, she never asked him to swear on that. ” I want to show you how serious I am about it, Miranda. I want you to feel my sincerity towards you .” Justin said in all seriousness. He wanted his Miranda to rest assured that only death could tear them apart, even in death or hell, he’ll still fight for them to be together. That’s how much he loved, valued and treasured her. To him as early as now, she came first, not even the kingdom could compare to her. No amount of money or power could overshadow her Worth in his life. Justin was a hopeless romantic just like his father. Once he fell in love, he fell completely with every fibre of his being. He would remain loyal to one woman all his life.

Miranda could only smile helplessly hearing his words. She was very much aware that Justin had come to be One of the most important people in her life. He had found his way to her heart. He slowly crawled his way to her life without her even realising it. The man had changed her in ways she would have never imagined. He had lighted her dark world and given her a reason to live. In the past, Miranda had merely existed. She existed for the country. As the royal protector, she had a mission to the world and that had become the sole reason for her breathing but now, with the presence of Justin in her life, things changed.

“Hi Mom, hi Dad.” Justin said, turning to face the two graves opposite each other. He placed the flowers on his mother in law’s grave. ” I am here to pay my respects to you and thank you for giving birth to such a wonderful woman who’s now my better half. I also want to ask for your blessings for our marriage. If it’s okay with you, I would like to, with your permission Marry your daughter and make her the queen of my life. I want to accompany her and make her happy as long as I live.” He then bowed three times, an Asian way of paying respects to the dead.

After saying their goodbyes, Miranda led Justin to the house and found the butler waiting for her. She was about to speak when the butler uncle beat her to it.” I know, I know you do not have the time, that’s why I packed the snacks for you. You can have them after they go back but remember to visit regularly. This Old man won’t be around for long.” The butler said with a smile.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

” Don’t say that, you are as strong as a mule and still have many years to live uncle.” Miranda retorted, accepting the bag passed to her.

” I would live long if the young Miss gave me a reason to continue living.” Butler said meaningfully and the ever slow Miranda did not decipher the meaning behind his words. On the contrary, the ever sharp Justin immediately understood what the butler uncle said and he grinned mischievously.

” Don’t worry uncle, we are working on that, soon enough, you’ll hear the good news.” Justin said with a meaningful smile causing the butler to laugh too.

” Hahahaha that’s good to hear, at least you are not good for nothing.” The butler said, wagging his imaginary fox tail. Miranda remained clueless and wondered why the two of them seemed to be conversing in proverbs or was it a secret coded message? She didn’t know and didn’t bother to find out either. She termed it as none of her business without knowing it was all her business.

The two went back to their house for the night. Tomorrow, they will be preparing to visit Justin’s parents. Miranda was anxious and scared at the same time. What if his parents disapproved of their relationship? What if they did not like her one bit and forced her to break up with Justin. Will she be able to bear separating with him? Her insecurities came flooding her mind. Miranda suffered from separation anxiety and that’s Why she tried as much as possible to limit any attachments.

” You seem worried about something, baby.” Justin noted. He was very attentive to her and could sense her restlessness.” Are you scared to meet my family?” He inquired.

” Honestly, I am. What if they don’t like me …” She didn’t get to finish her what ifs because Justin pulled her to himself and claimed her lips. His kiss was gentle and sensual and before she knew it, all her worries flew away and were replaced by a burning passion. She opened her mouth and granted Justin the permission to get sought. Justin explored every corner of her mouth tasting her sweetness. It was after the two ran short of air that they separated to catch their breath. He leaned his forehead to hers and caressed her cheeks lovingly.

” You don’t have to worry about my family not liking you. What’s there about you not to like? And if they don’t like you, I like you a lot ànd that’s what matters. It’s me you’ll marry not my family Miranda.”
