Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

I couldn’t believe it had already been months and what was more unbelievable was the fact that Rose was my bride’s maid.

I mean, I didn’t want to hold anymore grudges. I told Ryan to sort things out with his father as well. We both went together to ask for his blessing before our wedding.

“This one seems like a changed girl, my boy. You better be careful. ” He had jokingly said, or was it a joke at all? I was indeed a different species at the moment. Not the weak human who had caught his eye.

” You look stunning. I think I should keep an ambulance ready for Ryan. ”

Rose jokes. She had done all the wedding preparations by herself. She had even helped me with deciding on the dress. A very unique design.

A high neck, see through corset dress with a very light weight trail.

It had some pearl detailing on the veil that I was wearing and it matched the set that I was wearing as well.

” Thank you for everything Rose. I know it must have been hard for you…. ”

” Oh, don’t mind. It was nothing. I am used to worse sorts of duties, trust me. I couldn’t have asked for a better… ”

” That’s not what I meant. I mean your feelings… for Ryan. ” I cut her short before she could end. She gulped. She clearly wasn’t over him yet.

” So you could see. ”

We hadn’t actually talked about it, face to face but we had an unspoken agreement.

” Then I will be very frank with you. No need for any more veil. Well, Ryan was the first person who treated me like a real person, irrespective of my profession. I had a lot of men touch this body Sherry but he was the first to touch his heart. So, if you are asking me if it was hard or not, well, I will be honest, it was. But I have seen him before you came to his life. So I can say that you are the only one whom he truly loved in all his life. And I am willing to let him have that love which I couldn’t have. And I am willing to be a part of that. ” I could feel her voice cracking, ” and if I put that aside, I found a great friend in you Sherry. I was willing to let anything as trivial as my personal feelings get in the middle of that. ”

And she kissed my cheeks subtly, wiping her tears.

” Besides, I am an assassin. I am young. I am sure I will get a chance to shoot at more hearts.

Now…. come on … come on… come on… hurry up….. Do you want to get late for your own wedding? ”

She was right. I was already running late.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

My limo was waiting outside.

” You go ahead Rose. I just need a moment with myself.”

” Don’t be too late or I might steal your spotlight. ” she winked and was gone.

And then it began.

It started feeling like I was having a very bad cramp and then it began feeling like a heart attack.

“No…. No….. ”

I fell on the floor trying to reach for my mobile, while it rolled off.

And then everything blacked out.

I was back in that white, infinite room again, but this time I didn’t pass through the glass tunnel.

” Welcome back! ”

That voice greeted me.

” Why am I here? I need to go…. I have a wedding. ”

I was getting too impatient. I was panicking.

” Hold on little one. Don’t you remember your promise? ”

My promise?

Yes, that deal. That deal to come back.

” Yes. Yes I do. What is it that you want me to do? ”

I asked in a hurry.

” Patience dear one. Patience is the key. Your task will need time…. ”

” How much time? ”

I was literally tapping my foot.

” Days… months…. could even be years….. it’s not for me to say. ”

” No… No way. I have my wedding… ”

” Stepping back from what you said might alter the course of your known history. Choose a little one. Life is all about the choices that we make. ”

No. That was not an option.

” Wait. I am not backing off from my promise. But I just need you to give me a moment. Just a few minutes back in my world. I need to be texting a goodbye. “
