Chapter 41 - It's Time To Hear What Your Heart Says

Hearing Emmy ranting about the dignified crown prince of the Salian clan, both of her friends started laughing. It was clear as day that Alex was getting over his old love and slowly falling for their innocent friend but this girl had no clue about it. So Janet and Juliet decided to give the push for Emmy to understand the feelings that Alex had for her.

The three women became silent as their respective partners joined them at the table, Mike sensed some of kind mischievous expression from Juliet's face and he raised his eyebrows to ask what was in her mind, to which Juliet blinked three times and grinned at him.

" Today, we shall be visiting the Salian Palace to meet the father and the queen. Jordan, stay on guard, Victor will be planning something to matchmake that lotus to my head. In the morning, elder Floretren paid a visit to warn me about that woman hurting our Emmy. I don't have much impression of that girl but have heard Agrona mentioned once that she can go to any lengths to get her things done."

Alex then explained what all things elder Floretren said and few things about the woman called Arona who was known for the battle skills in the entire Agnartic clan.

" Brother, I have a bad feeling about this, Victor is actually that lady's lover, then why this drama of family promise of a wedding between you two. Also, why is that woman eager to visit us here? "

Janet and Juliet were looking at Emmy the whole time when the guys were discussing the upcoming matters, her face was looking like a burnt pot and it was clear, every time they said the word "marriage", Emmy's eyes looked more fierce. Before Juliet could ask the guys to stop their discussion, Emmy broke out, " Let her dare...".

All were shocked to see Emmy angry and both her fists were tightly clenched such that her nails dug into her skin making it bleed. Alex suddenly wrapped her to his embrace and patted on her back.

" No one will dare, this time I promise you, I have only one woman in my heart now and that is you, only you Emmy."

The four people were stumped hearing what Alex had just said, they could not believe the change in Alex at all. Mike looked at their surroundings and found no one, similarly, Jordan's senses were so keen but still could not find any spies hidden, so why was Alex acting?

All four had the same thing on their mind, " Has Alex really fallen for Emmy?"

Alex without bothering about others took Emmy to the riverside and sat together on the bench there. Emmy was blanked out for a couple of minutes and woke up from her stupor only when Alex planted a kiss on her forehead.

" Stop thinking unwanted things, trust me as always, no one will ever hurt you. "

" That is true, no one can hurt me with you here, but what if you get snatched away by that horrendous lady?"

Alex just hugged Emmy as he thought she was jealous because someone else might snatch him away but actually Emmy was keeping Alex safe from any rivals who came into his life in Lamia's absence. Even though Emmy has started to like Alex, she never wanted to sever the love between Alex and Lamia.

" Emmy, I will be there with you for this life long, no one is going to separate us anymore. You have to believe your husband, alright!"

It was then only Emmy found Alex's statements were getting weird from yesterday night. She thought he might have been sleepy to mistake her for his beloved but now in broad daylight, this guy was making such comments, Emmy widened her eyes and asked him in a soft whisper, " Is someone watching us?"

" No, what happened?"

Alex scanned their vicinity and replied back to Emmy but not for a moment had he left his hold over her.

" Well, in that case, stop this acting, sometimes even I feel that you are really my lover."

Emmy tried to escape from his grip but in vain could only sit back as his grip tightened when she finished her piece of the sentence.

" You might think about me as a fickle-minded person, but Emmy, listen to me. Yesterday I dreamt of Lamia and she said that my fated one was someone else, not her. She asked me to let go of this feeling and showed me my fated one."

Emmy's breathing got stuck in her lungs, she looked at Alex with the utmost patience to hear who was his fated one but Alex gave her a moment of complete silence.

" Who is it ?"

Alex looked at Emmy and in her eyes, he could see the hope of love mixed with anxiety. He wanted to tease his little lass more but her sincere expression gave it away. He slowly raised his hands and cupped her rosy cheeks to kiss hard on those cherry-colored lips which he had been longing for quite a while now.

Alex only wanted to show his true feelings, so he didn't make it hard for Emmy. He gave a small speck over her lips and gently rubbed their noses together.

" Emmy, It is high time for me to listen to what my heart says and now the only person inside my heart is you, dear, you are my fated one. "

Emmy could not believe that her first kiss was stolen by Alex when she was shell shocked, but after hearing his confession, the feelings inside her erupted like a volcano. She nodded her head vigorously as tears of happiness washed her eyes. Emmy wanted to reply to Alex badly but couldn't find the appropriate words, her tongue was not even functioning properly. Seeing his wife's cute behavior, Alex took the lead to seal their lips together, and now it was for a long duration.

With the intensity of the kiss grew to the extreme, a dull pain rushed to Emmy's mind making her faint on spot.
