All Chapters of FROSTBOUND : Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

~Odessa~"Son-in-law," Dad spoke as Adrian continued to approach."Dad," Adrian responded while my feet moved on their own, giving way to let him speak to Dad."Thank you so much for always being there for my daughter. Even though things turned out this way, you never abandoned her." Dad said, sincerely grateful to him."It is always my duty to be there for her," Adrian simply responded."Please, Son, now that we're not going to be close to her, I ask that you please, continue to take care of her for us. I'm sure with you, my daughter would be perfectly fine." Dad said to him."You'd always trusted and known what I can do," His answer came as a full assurance."Thank you," Mom and Dad both muttered at the same time, and Adrian gave them a curt bow.Mom moved and kissed me goodbye once again, and soon, we all stood outside the mansion waving at the couple as their car gradually manoeuvred into the driveway.I could hear Margaret's big sigh of relief from where I stood as they finally di

~Odessa~Margaret had returned to my room after breakfast. Unfortunately, she had to leave again after an emergency call she received."My dear, I'm sorry to leave you all by yourself. But don't worry, I will ask Elsa to keep you company." Margaret said, noticing my curiosity."Don't worry, I'm fine. What came up is not something you should be worried about." She explained before I could get more troubled."Alright, Mamagrate, see you later."Margaret nodded and said, "See you later, my dear." She kissed my forehead and hurried to leave.Once she was gone, I returned my gaze to the quietness of the room. For the first time in weeks, I wondered where my husband was. I wondered what he did in his free time.Does he also feel this lost, lonely, and empty like I feel whenever no one is there with me?Loneliness. The word struck an aching meaning in my head. I don't know why. But no matter how much Margaret clung around me, no matter how hard Elsa tried to make sure everything I needed wa

~Adrian~"Water... I think I need water," The sound of her voice made something swell in my chest, raw panic seizing me as I watched her looking that way. Hurt, shaken, her skin turned red in the places the water had burned her.The moment I turned to the dispenser, I dragged a hand over my face in frustration. Juliana had always been very careful with things like this. This is so unlike her to use the shower without paying attention to the temperature. She hardly uses the shower itself as she prefers dipping herself in bathtubs.When I heard her scream, my instincts kicked in and my feet shot without hesitation into the room. She had not only used the shower but had also mismanaged the temperature. My chest compressed recalling how her body curled frantically on the floor leaning against the counter, horror-filled eyes and fingers trembling while pointing at the hot pouring water, the steam filling the whole room. I could barely hold myself from pulling at my strands in frustratio

~Odessa~"All of this happened because I never truly recalled anything about us. Please believe me, if I had been told about this earlier, I wouldn't have acted that way towards you when I saw you in that beast form. But no one had told me about who you truly are.""You mean, even Mother never explained this to you? You truly know nothing about me?" He asked, and I noticed his disappointment through the way his brows contorted."No, Adrian, no one did. I'm so sorry for the way I had acted towards you. I'm sorry for thinking you were truly going to take my life at that moment," He leaned away slightly, his back slowly facing me as I could see his fist clench. I knew without being told that he was clearly disappointed. My loss of memory had always hurt him more.Any time I spoke about it, any time he was reminded that I couldn't remember our past anymore, it made him more agitated and I didn't want him that way anymore."Adrian, I know it must have hurt so much for me not to remember a
