34. Can't go missing!

Author's POV

Egon saw her sitting on the beach, silently watching the waves. He sighed when he realised that she wasn't trying to escape. 

Emerald watched the waves; she didn't like beaches, but this was the only way of distracting her mind. 

Things have changed drastically, memories of their naughty and happy past are still fresh in her mind. 

#Flashback... #

She was still in her bed, it was so hard for her to leave his warm, comfy bed. They were still tangled with each other and she was sleeping on his chest. 

"My men are going crazy, I need to go back but I don't want to."

She mumbled lazily.

He was playing with her hair. 

"Then don't go... I'll tell them, you belong to me now..."

She chuckled.

"Do you want to turn the underworld upside down?"

He chuckled. 

"Why not?"

"My father will go crazy."

She got up. 

"Are you scared of your father?"

He questioned, knowing that the man was crazy in his reign. 

"Not scared, those days are gone."

She started wearing her clothes. 

"But he is mad, he can do anything behind my back... So I need to be careful with him before he fuck up things for real..."

She hissed while wearing her pants. 

He stood behind her and buttoned up her trousers for her. 

"Are you in pain?"

He hugged her from behind. 

She smiled softly.

"I don't mind when it's worth it."

She turned around in his hold. 

"Now what? Are we going to stop this? We can't meet like this? And even if we do, we can't hide from people's eyes for long..."

He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply.

"There is nothing in this world which will make me stop meeting you... Nothing!"

She smiled but sighed. 

"You are the most difficult thing which has happened to me."

She never thought she would get involved with her most dangerous and handsome enemy. 

"What do I do with you?"

He inhaled her scent like he was addicted. 

"The things which you will never do with any other man."

She laughed at his words. 

"Now tell me how am I supposed to get out of this hotel without getting caught?"

He chuckled. 

"It's fun to see you sneaking around... The queen who roars with her entry..."

She huffed dramatically. 

"Things woman do for their favourite man!"

They both laughed it off, and she got ready to leave. They both went down from the private elevator and sneaked past the eyes of security. 

She giggled when they hid behind the wall and he stole a few kisses. 

"This is so fun!"

He grabbed her hand and they ran out of the parking lot. She quickly got into the cab and he winked at her. 

She left with a huge smile on her face, she didn't even remember the last time that she laughed and smiled genuinely. 

Her first time was really adventurous and memorable. She was smiling the whole ride. The stolen kisses, the hidden love bites, the small talk, everything was so foreign and fun for her. 

Her cab reached her mansion, and she got out of it. Her smile disappeared when she saw her father standing in front of her. 

She stayed calm, he is crazy but she is also his daughter. The cab driver looked at her, shocked when she gave him a big note. 

"Ma'am, I don't have so much change with me."

"Keep it!"

She dropped the note in his front seat and walked towards her father. The cab driver got lucky; that was his monthly earnings. 

Her father, Wilhelm, was giving her a death stare. She stood in front of him unfazed. 

"Where were you for the whole night?"

"You dare to question your queen, not afraid of the consequences?"

She threatened. 

Wilhelm's hold tightened on his cane. 

"Don't forget who made you queen, and you also know that I can clip your wings, which you are wildly spreading."

She rolled her eyes. 

"You should have thought about it before giving me the throne..."

"Where were you?... Everyone was searching for you like mad people... Being a queen, you should be responsible enough to inform your bodyguards about your plans. How are we supposed to know if you are dead or alive?"

He spat madly. 

"Don't worry, you will find out when I am dead..."

She smirked and started walking away. 

"I will find out where you were last night... Be prepared for the consequences if it's something which you shouldn't have done."

He turned around and threatened her. 

She closed her eyes to control her anger. 

"Don't be surprised if you don't wake up tomorrow morning..."

She mocked. 

"We both know that we are harmful to each other... Why mess around? You live your old days in the corner of the mansion peacefully and let me live my life... Isn't that easy?..."

He nodded offended.

"Sure, Queen!"

"Good!"

She shook her head, frustrated, and entered. 

Bertha stopped her. 

"Oh my god! Where were you, we were so worried about you.. Why was I left without informing?"

She tried to touch her shoulder but Emerald pushed her hand away. 

"Who gave you the permission to touch me?"

She scowled at her. 

Bertha's eyes watered. 

"I am your mother!"

Emerald smirked mockingly. 

"Stepmother!... And you don't like me, Bertha... Let's stop pretending, we will be at peace... I feel like killing you whenever you fake your care for me. You were clearly not worried about me."

Bertha sighed.

"You misunderstand me every time... But that's fine."

"Oh come on!"

Emerald rolled her eyes and walked away. 

She was going towards her room when her bodyguard, Celsius followed her. 

"Queen!"

"Not now Celsius... I am tired."

She kept walking and he kept following. 

"You shouldn't go missing like this..."

She stopped and turned towards him when he said that. 

"Are you ordering me?"

She raised her eyebrows amused. 

He looked down.

"I don't want to do that but yes... Your safety is my responsibility so I have to be strict with you... I want your live location all the time now."

Emerald watched him ordering her while being scared and hesitant. 

"Aww, you are so cute, Celsius... Brave of you to think that I'll do that..."

She chuckled and walked away. Celsius sighed and shook his head. 

Her smile came back when she saw Egon's text, it felt like a teenage girl getting a message from her first boyfriend. 

She spent the whole day, texting and talking to him. Probably the first person who has made her talk so much. 

Things were going so easily, so it could become difficult later. 

#Flashback Ended#

Egon sat beside her on the beach. 

"You are not allowed to leave the house without permission."

He looked at the waves she was looking at. 

"Sorry, I'll take permission next time."

She replied in a monotone. 

He sighed. 

"Emerald, we___"

"Are enemies!"

She completed for him. 

"I know, don't worry. I'll take care of that... I think you should lock me in the basement again, it's easy to remember this there..."

"That I'll decide."

He snapped at her. 

"We are going to the auction tomorrow..."

She didn't say anything, but a little thought of escaping from there crossed her mind. 

If she wants to run away from her feelings, then she has to go away from him. 

But will she succeed or things will get more fucked up?
