Chapter 275

Amethyst wasnt sure how the luncheon went, as she had been in a daze the entire time. It must have gone well, as it was supposed to be simple and short but ended up going into the night. It was late before they finally sent off the empress and the Lohikins.

She took her tired body and relaxed in the hot bathtub. Then she went into the bedroom and threw herself onto the bed.

Alexcent entered as she was drifting off. Amethyst mumbled into her pillow Im tired tonight.

Unexpectedly, Alexcent grabbed her shoulders roughly and turned her over. She opened her eyes in shock to stare into his face. His eyes were so cold and aggressive. They actually scared her a little.

Alec?

Alexcent kissed her with force. Amethyst tried to say something, but he didnt give her the chance. He ignored her struggling and ripped off the underwear that was covering her.

Alec! No! Stop!

Why?

Im tired!

Tired? When arent you tired?

Alec, whats wrong? This isnt like you. Im scared. She could feel his threatening breath on her. This felt more like rape than the precursor to passion.

You shouldve just said what was on your mind, Alexcent snarled.

What are you talking about?

Is it that horrifying, the thought of having my child?

Amethysts eyes widened as his words. Alexcent took it as proof. I thought it might not be true, but apparently it is.

No! Alec, its not like that!

That was why. I thought it was strange. The reason you avoided me for a few days every month. I knew it wasnt during your menstruation cycle. You were trying to avoid the period when you were most likely to be fertile!

Thats Alec, listen to me.

No, theres no need. Its true! That was why!

Thats not it!

You dont want to have a child with a man who is considered a monster!

Alec!! Monster? Thats not true!

Ill do what you want. I always do what you want.

What is that supposed to mean? Amethyst asked.

Who knows? You should know the best. Good night, Amethyst. Alexcent gave a peck on her forehead and ran out of the bedroom. There was gust of wind that came through the opened door.

We werent supposed to be separate anymore, Amethyst thought.I thought there would only be happiness in our future. I made him misunderstand again. It wasnt like that. I didnt mean it like that. I was just scared.

Amethyst spent the night alone, sleepless with her thoughts.

After that night, Alexcent didnt come to Amethyst anymore. He would arrive back at the mansion, when it was late at night, and head straight to his office instead of the bedroom. It had been several nights of this same routine.

Did he say he was going to be late tonight too? Amethyst asked Pon.

Yes, maam. He said he has a lot of work to do, so dont wait up.

Where is he now?

The palace, maam.

Take me there.

Maam, its late. You should go to sleep. When the sun comes up

He comes home late on purpose and goes into the palace before I even wake up! Hes clearly avoiding me! Amethyst was furious. So, take me to him! I cant stand it anymore!

She thought that she could wait until he came home and solve this misunderstanding by talking, but he avoided her on purpose. She couldnt wait any longer. She had no intention of being apart from him anymore. No matter what the reason was.

Alexcent was sitting at a table at a mens only club, with a glass of whisky. He didnt enjoy drinking usually, but it wasnt like he couldnt. He was monitoring his intake though, as Amethyst didnt like the smell of alcohol. The word monster kept running through his head. He didnt think his past would still haunt him.

He destroyed everyone in the past so there could be no hope of someone coming after him for revenge. In truth, they were unforgivable murders. He became evil at one point and was truthfully a monster. He worried that his past was taking over once more.

The woman he loved the most, even she looked at him as if he was a monster. No matter how hard he tried, he would always be a being of evil disguised as a human.

Amethyst wasnt from this world to begin with, and she already had children in her previous life. For her to refuse a child there could only be one reason. It was because of him.

Alexcent downed his glass of whiskey in one gulp.Since when did I want a child, he thought.Why am I so angry?A vision of a child standing next to Amethyst appeared in front of him.It would have been nice if the child looked like her. How pathetic am I?

Gen carefully approached Alexcent, who was clearly intoxicated. Sir, Im sorry to bother you but I think you should head back to the mansion.
