Chapter 358: A true kiss

[Many years ago.]

"Stella! Mom finally has time to spend with you!" Meiya brightly shouted, opening the doors leading to her daughter's room.

In that place, three years old Stella lazily sat on the chair. Nervous servants surrounded her, their trembling heightening as the lady of the house barged into the room.

Stella languorously extended her small hand for a pen, then wrote an answer to the exercise, shocking everyone, including her mother. She didn't dilate on her lessons, just writing answers one by one.

"Ok," Stella replied. It was not clear whether it was to her mother or servants.

Meiya smiled widely, proud of her daughter, "That's my girl! She's the best, isn't she?!" She glared at all servants, demanding an immediate answer with her sharp eyes.

Everyone bowed, their voices booming in the room, "Miss Stella is the best girl!"

"Ok," Stella replied, agreeing with everything around her. She couldn't really care about their stupid talks.

Meiya's eyes melted, however, "Ah, Stella knows her worth! She is the most adorable, the smartest, and the strongest girl from the new generation! She will make her mommy and daddy proud!

No one will doubt her human bloodline!" Meiya said in a strong tone, not even allowing everyone except her daughter to breathe.

She then skipped toward her daughter, cuddling her with all her motherly love. Because of many matters and her royal bloodline, Meiya was outside her home for most of her time.

She felt wrong for leaving her fluff alone with servants. But she had long since accepted that it would be indeed the case.

The worst was that Stella didn't inherit the wind and holy energy like royalties from the winged race did. Fortunately, Stella overcame the limits of her human bloodline, eventually getting those elements.

"You are dismissed for today!" Meiya ordered all servants, who breathed with relief and happiness. They quickly left Stella's room, for being servants of the white-haired kid was just too exhausting.

She was too lazy, so they didn't know whether they were properly educating and tending to her wishes…

Meiya was also a dangerous lady who would execute every servant that failed his task or made Stella cry.

"Mom has bought nice clothes in the Deathwill Kingdom. Do you want to wear them for me, Stella?" Meiya asked in a lovely tone.

Stella replied like usual, "Ok."

Her mom took care of all things, donning her many cute clothes. She screamed and nearly died from cuteness a few times, for her daughter was too adorable.

Meiya also did homework with her daughter, spent a lovely afternoon with her, and then headed to the Deathwill Kingdom.

"Let's visit your daddy. He's also free today," Meiya sweetly smiled, her love toward Elias Deathwill genuine and deep.

Stella didn't reply.

Meiya's expression eased up, "Don't be so shy, Stella. He's your father."

She believed that Stella didn't say anything, for she was shy. It was true that Stella spent the most time in the winged tribe than in the Deathwill Kingdom, so it was fair for Meiya to misunderstand her daughter.

She didn't know about Stella's ability to read emotions. She was also in love with Elias Deathwill, so her eyes were clouded.

At last, Meiya and Stella arrived in the familiar castle.

They went through many corridors, arriving in Elias' bedroom.

"Elias!" Meiya happily shouted the name of her beloved, holding Stella tightly in her arms. She took her daughter's hand, waving it at him, "Greet your father too, Stella."

Stella didn't do anything, not even gazing at Elias Deathwill.

For Meiya, it was the usual. Her daughter was shy.

Elias Deathwill believed that Stella couldn't see through him and that lack of interest stemmed from the sin he had planted in her. He had already begun plan back then, for he had perfect six vessels.

"It's fine, Meiya," Elias said, extending his hand to stroke Stella's hair, then switching to Meiya. He then slid down his hand, stuffing his palm with her soft cheek and gazing into her golden eyes with fake affection.

He knew very well about people's hearts, so there was no way Elias would miss this chance to further charm this noble woman.

Meiya had fallen too deeply for him; his every move was genuine and tender to her.

And as Elias Deathwill leaned down, taking her lips, Meiya's eyes widened in shock.

His kiss felt so much different than ever before. Her mind immediately became white, losing a sense of everything around her. That strong and splendid kiss made her forget about everything, leaving behind only pleasure in her mind.

She was utterly at his wish, parting her lips to give him more access.

Meiya shut her eyes tightly, immersing herself in the pleasure. Her heart pounded heavily, seemingly pushing her ample chest up. It drummed so much that she barely could hear the smacking sounds of their kissing.

Pleasure jolted through her, and she felt like her sanity was slowly returning to her.

And when she opened her eyes, Meiya found herself in a different place.

She wasn't in the Deathwill Castle. No, she wasn't in the past.

She returned to reality, and an unknown man snatched her lips! That man was so much younger than her that she somehow felt guilty, even though she had done nothing wrong.

She felt his hands wrapping around her tightly, not letting her go. But Meiya barely could focus on everything else, for this man's kissing was just too good.

At last, their lips parted, leaving a silver bridge between them.

Meiya lifted her golden eyes, staring at the young man with trembling hues. He was wounded from top to bottom, blood trickling down his temple. The same went about the rest of his body.

A holy healing skill swathed his body, but that was naturally not enough. Yet, the young man did his best to embrace her and kiss her.

He also boldly slid his hands down her curves, keeping his hand on her hips and back, "I'm Alexander Deathwill."

"Stella's husband?" Meiya whispered in a daze, not believing her ears. Did her daughter's husband just kiss her?

Alex smiled, leaning down to peck Meiya's lips, just in case she was still influenced by the envy sin, "I have sealed your Envy Sin within your soul, Meiya. With this, I have fulfilled Stella's request to save her mother. Our best girl needs her mother to help her with her wedding dress, doesn't she?

And as I swore to take care of you too, I will be doing what I have long since decided to do. Meiya… I will show you what true love is," Alex said, once again spreading his touch around Meiya's curves.

She couldn't help but smile faintly, for Alex mentioned a real marriage with her daughter. The way he formed words also made her heart flutter, for she would hate herself even in hell if she were to miss her daughter's wedding.

And as Alex saw her smile, he attacked even further, "I have been struggling with this desire to show you what true love is. After all, you are my wife's mother. But as Stella already saw through me, and I learned about your husband, I knew that what I am doing is not solely based on lust.

I'm genuinely interested in you.

You and Stella have such beautiful smiles. It's precisely that curve of your lips that draws me closer to you. I can't get enough of Stella's smile, so having her mom shower me with her beauty and love will turn my life even more exciting.

Give me a chance, Meiya," Alex whispered candidly, believing he was the best person to show genuine love to her.

"You… You motherfucker," Meiya spoke in a little sharp tone, slowly regaining herself after her predicament.

Alex curved his lips into a bright smile, "Save that for later, gorgeous."

[Meiya Deathwill has developed an affection toward you.]

Elias Deathwill stood emotionlessly, far away from Alex and Meiya.

After all his words, Alex didn't stop, boldly throwing himself into the sinful black tornado. No matter how much the storm wounded him, he kept going forward.

And at last, Alexander embraced his wife, taking her lips into an arduous kiss that actually was the main cause of her return.

Alex sealed Meiya's sin with that kiss, giving her a new future.

He also planted a genuine affection within her heart, turning her merrier and closer to her real self.

[I have nothing to say, you said?]

Elias recalled Alex's words just before plunging into a tornado.

[Getting used… feels like shit.]

Elias thought about his words after his first meeting with Alexander.

And as the emotions sprouted within him, Elias looked at his hands. Black tattoos swarmed his hands like worms, eating his blood, "I'm becoming more human-like."

The man continued to delude himself.
