Thank you for waiting \u003c3

Abruptly, Alex's expression changed again. His mischievous smile faded and his eyes smoldered with intense emotions. His long and elegant finger found its way to her lips and he brushed them so slowly.

”Tell me… those words that that man told you…” he uttered seriously, making Abi's heart thump erratically. ”Did you like hearing them?”

Abi subconsciously swallowed because Alex was again exuding a cold, chilly aura. He really changed way too fast; his moods, his expressions, the way he spoke. He was changing as if someone was pointing a remote control on him and switching his channels in a blink of an eye.

But somehow, she felt calm and relaxed despite the fact they were in a dangerous place. Well, dangerous for her. There was no way she would still be alive if she fell from that height. But again, she was calm because she knew he would never let her fall despite him telling her he would drop her.

Looking back at him, Abi could only give him an honest response. She was not going to anger him anymore. She would go back to acting like her normal self and answer him without the motive of pushing him to the edge.

”Of course, I like to hear them as long as they come from the lips of the man I love,” she answered and Alex fell silent for a moment.

”So you wouldn't like it if I say it?” his gaze intensified.

”W-why would you say it? You don't love me. You only want me.”

He narrowed his eyes again. ”Then I'll change my previous statement.” He cupped her face, moving his face closer to hers. ”I want you. I love you…” he uttered and Abi's heart clenched at hearing those words. How could he say these things so casually? As if love was just a simple word that meant nothing at all.

Trying her best not to show the slight tug of pain in her heart, Abi looked away. ”Do you… do you even know what 'love' is?” she asked before returning her gaze on him.

Alex tilted his head. ”I don't,” he answered and a small, ironic smile curved on Abi's lips. Of course he would say that.

”But if love is something that surpasses wants and needs and addictions then I'm certain I love you.”

At those words, Abi felt her heart flutter within her chest. She gazed into his eyes with wide eyes. She couldn't believe what he just said. She was totally thunderstruck.

Abi couldn't speak. Everything he said pierced through her heart. She realized that her Alex's heart must not have forgotten her. All these words he was saying sounded like something her Alex would have said and that was more than enough to melt her entire being.

He sounded like the devil tempting her. But, she didn't want the world. All she wanted was for him to come back to her, to remember her and their love for each other. She wanted the Alex she married, the Alex that shared those precious memories with her, the man who stayed with her through the good and bad times. She wanted him to remember everything. He had to remember everything.

Abi really wanted to just spit it out. That she was his wife, that she was his beloved that he had forgotten so that she could finally hug him and hold him right then and there. But she couldn't. Zeke had warned her about the risk. Zeke told her that if Alex would find out that he had lost his memories, the man would definitely make a move to find out if that was true. He would do everything he could to try and get them back, possibly even go on a rampage and become uncontrollable. The first thing he would definitely do would be to leave by himself to look for witches to get an answer and that was the last thing they wanted to happen because then he would be putting himself in danger. They needed to hunt the witches together, so that these witches stood no chance of being able to manipulate Alex.
