Chapter 107: You Can't Love Me.
As the golden rays of sun pierced the curtains of Rowens Room and landed on his face gently. His eyelids moved and he woke up from his slumber. His eyes heavy and there was a sweet smile on his face.
The naked body of Lilias was still laying on him. Her drool wetting his chest. Rowen looked at her sweet face and a smile formed on his face.
He gently moved her down from his chest and then placed her on the soft bed.
"Ummmm..." Her reluctant sleepish sound resounded in the room as she held his hand. Stopping him from moving even an inch.
Rowen moved close to her and then kissed her on the cheeks. "Now you have to go. I will call you when I have time." Rowen whispered in her ears.
"Nooo..." She slowly opened her eyes and kissed him again on the lips.
"Now come on, I don't have enough time." Rowen tried to persuade her.
Lilias looked him in the eyes as an annoyed expression appeared on her face. "What? You don't have time for you mom? Did you find some new sluts?"
She didn't know what preceded in the last few days.
Rowen let out a sigh and then pinched her nose tightly. "I don't want to do this right now." He said as he stood up from the bed and started putting on a loose bathrobe.
Lilias looked at him and also stood up. She hugged him from behind. "I was joking. Please don't get annoyed with your mom." She said and then disappeared from the room leaving a red kiss mark on Rowen's face.
Rowen smiled and then removed the spiritual barrier around his apartment. He knew that those two girls could be here anytime. He then moved towards his bathroom and started washing his body.
After a hot bath. A relaxed expression appeared on his face. He placed a towel around his waist and then moved out of his bathroom and just as he did so he could see Felicia sitting on the couch.
She was wearing a red dress. With Perl earnings shining in her ears. There was the same dignified expression on her face. However, just as her red eyes landed on Rowen's half-naked wet body.
Her body jittered and a blush formed on her face. She quickly looked away not daring to peek. However, inside she wanted to look again. Her heart started pounding against her ribcage.
"Ohh... I am so sorry. I will be back after changing." Rowen said and then quickly ran towards his bedroom.
Just as Rowen went away in his bedroom did she took in a deep breath and controlled her emotions. She felt really ashamed. 'I should have asked before coming in.'
After some time Rowen came in the hall again with a smile on his face. "I... I... Am really sorry about what happened just now. I didn't know you were coming." He said as he sat down in front of her.
Felicia let out a smile and waved her hand. "It's no big deal and I was the one that should be apologizing. After all, I came in without knocking."
Rowen just let out a smile and leaned back on the sofa. He looked around a little and then again looked at Felicia. "So, how come Sister Felicia honoured my humble abode. This early in the morning?" He asked.
Felicia regained her composure and slowly the dignified look appeared back on her face. She took a paper and Quill out of her ring. Her eyes looking at Rowen she smiled and then nodded.
Slowly unfolding the brownish paper. She first looked at it and then at Rowen. "I think you forgot. You were to join my group today. Although everyone goes to the group leader to fill the form. However, since you are a special case. I thought I show some face to you. And that is why I came here personally."
She said as she slid the paper towards him with a smile on her face.
"Oh... Thank you so much sister Felicia. You should have just summoned me. You didn't need to put in so much effort for someone like me." Rowen said with a smile on his face.
Rowen took the paper from the table and signed it without even reading the contents.
Felicia looked at him and raised her brows. "Why didn't you read the contents of the paper?" She asked.
Rowen let out a small chuckle. "Let me tell you, something Sister Felicia. If I decided to believe in someone. I do so by thinking that I can even give my life for that person. And whatever you would have written in this paper couldn't be anything worse than demanding my life." He said as his blood resonance pierced her soul.
A small shiver ran down her spine. However, suddenly she straightened up and looked at him. "I highly doubt your words." She said to him.
Rowen looked at her with a confused look and a smile on his face. "And. Why is that may I ask?"
"Well, you are clearly betraying Dana right now by joining my team." She said as she leaned back on the couch. Waiting for his response.
Rowen leaned a little towards her and looked straight in her ruby eyes. His blood resonance on full rotation. "You know Sister Felicia. If you trust someone more than your own life. And if the person you trust in doesn't trust you even a bit then it's better to leave them."
Felicia listened to him and raised one of her brows. "Did she not trust you?"
Rowen smiled at her words and looked down and then looked at her again. "Let's just say. I was not good enough in telling her that I have faith in her."
He then stood up and then came to her side. Sitting just beside her, he looked her in the eyes and showed her right hand to her.
"I hope I can prove to sister Felicia just how much faith I have in you."
She looked at his hand and after a pause, she grabbed his hand with her left hand. A smile formed on her dignified face. "Trust me, I am not like Dana. If someone trusts me with their life. I can even give my life for them."
Felicia's heart was pounding very hard. She looked him in the eyes and her mind was telling her to go for a kiss. However, just when she was about to make a move. Rowen removed his hand from hers and then stood up.
Her face almost turned completely red when Rowen left her in the middle. She just wanted to kill herself. 'What was I thinking! We just met yesterday. I can't be thinking of kissing him. I have to save my mom first.'
"I should leave now." She said and then picked up the signed paper from the table and then disappeared from his room.
Rowen didn't kiss her because he knew that Dana was spying on them. She was just outside of his apartment and although she hid herself very well through spiritual barriers.
However, Rowen still sensed her strong emotions through his demonic technique. A smile formed on his face as he sat down on the sofa again. He first wanted to seduce Dana as she was his main focus.
It's only by her help will he be able to completely dominate this sect.
Soon enough with a swoosh of light wind, she appeared in his room. She had a black robe on her body showing all her curves perfectly. She had also done some makeup as she was trying to amend misunderstanding between them.
She looked at him, her eyes completely red and tears were falling out of them. Rowen looked at her and knew that she has finally broken. He quickly set up a spiritual barrier around the house so no one can see her condition.
A worried expression appeared on his face as he looked at her. "Sister Dana? What happened? Why are you crying?" Rowen asked as he held her shoulders by his hands and made her sit down on the sofa.
She looked at him and started weeping loudly. A stream of tears started to drop down her black eyes. Rowen also sat beside her with a worried expression on his face.
However, internally he was laughing.
Dana hugged him tightly and then started crying on his shoulder. "Please! I am sorry! Please.... Ugh... Sob... Please forgive me. You can punish me if you want."
Rowen held her shoulders and then moved her away from his chest as he looked at her. "Why would I ever punish you? I don't dare. And you don't have to be sorry as I have told you earlier it was not your fault. I think I was the one that messed up."
"I am not a good communicator after all. I thought that I won your trust however, I was wrong. Don't worry sister Dana you don't have to be sorry. And after all, I don't want sect mistress to say sorry to me. Or Vice Sect leader would kill me."
Dana looked at him and then sobbed again. "I love you. I love you. And... And I can't live without you. So, please join my group again. Or I will die."
"From the day we first met. I felt this strange feeling whenever I saw you. At first, I thought it was just your sweet talk affecting me. However, from the day I broke your trust. I can't settle my heart down."
"It hurts. It hurts so bad that I wanted to cut my heart out by a knife so the pain could lessen. Please... I don't think I will be able to live if you don't forgive me."
Rowen almost bust out laughing at her words. However, he kept his serious expression. "What?! What are you talking about Sect Mistress. You have a fiancee. You can't love me, you are vice sect leader's future wife."
