At the secluded room, Long Ren was at a loss on what to do regarding Theresa.
She had told him to bring out the spiky chair from his storage ring which he did.
And then, she sat on it. She seemed to not feel the pain inflicted on her by the spikes.
Her body trembles and she did not make a sound.
Her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails sunk into her palm resulting in her palm bleeding.
She kept staring at the roof. A tear escaped from her eyes, slid down her cheeks and landed on her right thigh.
"MOTHERRRRR" Theresa roared and more tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Mother...why? Why did you leave me and father? Mother...how could you do this? Mother.."Theresa said in a whisper and started crying.
"Mama, mama, i'm sorry for being a bad daughter. I never treasured you. I never treasured you.Mother...how could you just leave without a goodbye. Mother, i should have listened to you. I shouldn't have left for the BTS concert. I shouldn't have done things without your permission. Mother, it's because of me that you are all alone. Mother,..mother.."Theresa didn't have the energy to speak anymore.
"Mistress..please get up from that chair"Long Ren begged her.
He was very worried about his mistress.
"Long Ren, tell me...what will i say to my father.I'm their only daughter. All because of me, my mother has breathed her last. Why did i not feel it? I'm a bad daughter. These spikes are nothing compared to the pain I've caused my parents. Mother gets sick whenever i get sick. Now she's dead. Why then am i not dead? I wanna die! long Ren, do me a favor" Theresa said to him telepathically and took out her golden dagger.
"Kill me! Kill me now! I don't deserve to live. I'm a murderer. I killed so many people on that plane and now my mother also died because of me. Even death is not enough punishment for me. Kill me now Long Ren" Theresa commanded.
"Mistress!"
"Great mistress"
Ju Wei and Long Ren exclaimed at the same time.
"Mistress, i'm sorry for your loss but you can't do this. Mistress, you can't kill yourself just for this. Mistress.."
"Shut up! I'm a bad daughter. I deserve to die. If you don't wanna kill me then I'll kill myself"Theresa yelled.
"Okay mistress, i don't like you anyway. Since you asked, i will personally kill you and then i can finally be free"Long Ren said with a smile plastered on his lips.
Theresa's eyes widened but then she bowed her head low when Long Ren took the dagger from her.
She then closed her eyes.
"Kill me," she said in a whisper as another tear slid down her eyelid.
"You silly mistress! How can you expect me to kill you? Mistress, do you not believe in my words? I'm your pet forever. Mistress"
Theresa opened her eyes.
"I gave you a simple command but you refused. Ju Wei, kill me instead and you'll be free from Long Ren's clutches," said Theresa.
"Okay. That day you whipped me. We haven't settled that yet. Also, you didn't let me have enough meat to cook tonight." said Ju Wei.
"But, i have no desire to kill you" he added.
"ARGHHH" Theresa yanked her hair in frustration.
"Death is too simple of a punishment. I'm sure that she'll want you to live a good life just like every mother wishes for her child. Mistress, if you die, i won't live either. Your father is still alive. If he knew you were gone, then what would he do?"Long Ren said in a concerned tone.
He then knelt before her.
"Mistress, i know that I've been bad to you before. I did so many wrong things. I'm responsible for the curse in you. I know that you're battling with the curse but you must fight it. Mistress, please calm down. Mistress...you can beat me to vent out your frustrations. But please don't kill yourself or ask me to kill you. It's also against the rules of the contract. Even if i wanted to, i can't. Mistress, I've changed. I've changed. I've realized all my mistakes. Mistress, you've got to pull yourself together and fight."Long Ren said softly.
"Kim Tae Hyung, you put me into this. I will never forgive you, "Theresa cried out loudly. and pushed Long Ren away from her.
Her hair caught fire and her eyes turned red.
"Save me," Theresa said in a small voice.
"Mistress, you can do it. You can win. Fight! Fight."Long Ren urged her.
"I want to die"Theresa cried.
"Mistress, keep fighting. Keep fighting."
"I can't," Theresa said in a small voice.
"Great mistress, think of the dark qi as your greatest enemy. What or whom do you hate? Fight that enemy then"Ju Wei suggested.
"Both of you, retreat. Get out of here now. This is my battle. Get out" she yelled.
"Yes great mistress," Ju Wei said and disappeared.
"Mistress, please be careful.I'll stabilize your friend. Think of her when you feel weak. And also, please don't be too hard on yourself"Long Ren advised.
"Get out"Theresa barked.
"Yes, mistress"Long Ren nodded and disappeared.
Seeing that she was now alone in the secluded room,Theresa's eyes turned yellow and she smiled.
"It's time to battle. I must live on for my friend and father. I will win this fight" she said to herself.
