Chapter 334 - Why Did You Kiss Him?

"Hi Adrianna!" said Niiya from behind. Adrianna and Dmitri stopped in their tracks and turned back to look at him. Dmitri narrowed his eyes and gave a very cold look at Niiya. He held Adrianna's hand and if that wasn't enough, he circled her shoulders and stood with her firmly. He had never felt this threatened about Adrianna in anyone else's presence. 

Adrianna looked warmly at Niiya. She rewarded him with a beautiful smile. All the anxiousness that Niiya was feeling before meeting her vanished in thin air 

"How are you doing Adrianna?" he asked very softly. 

"I am good, Niiya. How about you?" asked Adrianna with a smile. 

"I am good too," he replied and then there was an awkward silence. After a pause, he said, "Congratulations!" 

She smiled again and replied, "Thanks!" She paused for a moment and said, "How did you know about me… I mean did you know about me at all that I am a witch…" 

"I didn't know earlier but now I know everything about you…" Niiya said as though talking to her for the first time. "I knew about you ever since you entered the third stage of the competition." 

"Really?" Adrianna was surprised. 

"Yes," Niiya said and then pointed at Dmitri, "He knows." 

Adrianna looked at Dmitri, her mouth wide open with shock. She didn't say anything to him, but she was slightly peeved at him. 

Feeling extremely angry, Dmitri looked away and without speaking a word to either of them, he walked out of the meeting hall. 

Once he had gone out of there, Niiya turned his gaze at Adrianna and said, "If I had known that you were a witch, I would have kidnapped you and kept with me forever." Niiya jested with her and it felt as if they were back in the college. 

Adrianna laughed and said, "Witches can't be kidnapped you see. I would have disappeared, you see." 

Niiya laughed with her. It was so nice to talk with her freely. He remembered his college days when he would go to the canteen with her or sit in the gardens of the chemistry block.  

"Weren't you surprised when you came to know that I am a witch?" she asked. 

"I was very shocked, but I also wish that you had told me earlier. You didn't trust me," he complained. 

"If I would have told it earlier to you, you would have never believed. Even I didn't know that I was half-witch until a few months back," she chuckled. "But you should have met me if you had come to the wizard realm." She changed the topic. Ed had asked her never to reveal her true identity. 

"I didn't meet you on purpose. I had come with father, as he wanted me to show the Wizard Kingdom. At that time, you were very busy with your competition and he had asked me not to meet you. He didn't want me to distract you. Father thinks very highly of you Adrianna, even though you had given his son such a hard time," said Niiya with a grin. 

Adrianna laughed again. She missed the college days with him. "Are you still going to college?" 

"Of course! Will be giving my final exams next summer." 

Adrianna looked down and how she wished that she even continued her college. However, if would even try that now, she would be so far behind. She might have to repeat the year. She sighed. 

Niiya understood her emotions and said, "Adrianna, you have far greater duties in your life. Do you know why is it that every human out there doesn't want to take my place?"

Adrianna tilted her head as she looked at him. "Why?"

"Because according to them you are the most powerful person that exists on this earth and they are scared of you."

Adrianna pursed her lips. 

"They know that you and I were in college together and hence they unanimously agreed to my position." 

She looked at him pensively. She did have a lot to do. 

Niiya wanted to touch her and steal a kiss but he knew that she would not take it nicely. He sulked. "Adrianna, I must have lacked somewhere, otherwise you would have been mine. I still love you and it is difficult to forget you. However, now that I am in place of my father, I will try my best to not love you and only be friends with you."

Suddenly, out of the blue, Adrianna took his cheeks in her hands and kissed him on his forehead. Niiya was shocked beyond words. "Adri…" 

"Thank you Niiya, for being so thoughtful. I hope we take this collaboration to a new level," she said softly and left. It was nice to have a friend who represented the human realm. She could feel that all her stars were in the right place. 

Niiya kept looking at Adrianna as she disappeared behind those doors. That was the only kiss he ever got from Adrianna and he felt as though this was the epitome of his love life with Adrianna. He sighed and said to himself, "You have to get out of it Niiya, else this will never work…" He returned back to the table where there were some people standing waiting for him to see some doc.u.ments. It was his first day as the representative of the human realm and there were many things he had to take care of. 

When Adrianna went out of the meeting venue, she found Dmitri waiting for her. She could feel how angry he was. In fact he was burning with jealousy and rage. He didn't speak a word with her. Fleur created a portal for them and they entered their bedroom. Fleur had been temporarily entrusted with Adrianna's security. Isidorus wanted to change her. He knew that Liam had marked her. 

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Dmitri confronted her. He held her shoulders tightly as though he would crush them and asked, "Why did you kiss him?"
