Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

120 I appreciate our union Maya climbed up onto the railing.

_ What do you think you're doing? You could fall, come down quickly.

_I will not fall.

Maya jumped up to the balcony where Cassian was, he caught her and said to her.

_you're crazy!, you could have died.

_I knew you'd catch me.

_You are completely crazy.

_Maybe I am a little.

Cassian continued to hug Maya, feeling the warmth of her body, her soft breathing, her body giving off a sweet scent of flowers, he got nervous, let go of her and walked away.

_You are very reckless.

_They tell me that often.

Maya leaned on the railing and looked out at the garden.

_This place is beautiful, but it looks like a cage, a very beautiful one, but a cage, after all.

_ Why do you say that? _I've only been here for a short time, but that's what it seems to me.

I'm a free soul, I travel whenever I feel like it and I never stay in one place for too long.

Imagining myself living in a place like this for the rest of my life made me think that and I felt sorry for Abril, since that's her life.

Cassian stood beside her and answered as he looked around the garden.

This place isn't as bad as you think, I've lived here all my life and I've never felt that way, in fact, I wish I didn't have to leave, my happiest memories are in this place, in these gardens where I played with my brothers and walked with my parents.

Maya remembered that several of Cassian's relatives had been killed in an ambush by King Venobich, that of the entire royal family only two princes remained because they were on the battlefield at the time.

She put her arms around him and hugged him, Cassian blushed.

_ What are you doing? _Giving you a hug, it's not obvious.

_Yes, but why are you hugging me? _Because I thought you needed it.

_You shouldn't hug a man suddenly, he might misinterpret it.

Maya gave him a sweet smile and replied.

_ And how would you misinterpret it? _I could...

I'm a man if I have you so close, with your body pressed against mine it's natural that my body reacts to you, you are a very beautiful woman.

_Wow, I think this is the first compliment you've ever given me.

Maya reached out her hand and caressed his cheek.

_You can misinterpret it if you want, well actually I would love for you to do it, I like you a lot and I would like to make good memories with you before I go.

_ Like which ones? Maya stood on her tiptoes to reach him and stole a kiss.

_Like these.

_Maya...

Before he could continue replying, Maya kissed him again, preventing him from saying a word.

Their breathing began to become labored.

Without realizing it, Cassian had surrounded her with his arms and was returning her kisses.

_This is a mistake, we should stop.

The kisses had become deeper, although Cassian's words saying that they should stop their actions said the opposite, he seemed to burn in the same way that she did, she dragged him to the room without stopping kissing, when they reached the edge of the bed she pushed him causing him to lie down, she lifted her nightgown and climbed on top of him, Cassian's hands were placed on her legs, both of them joined their mouths in a passionate kiss.

Their breathing was labored, the fire of passion burning in both of them, Maya began to open his shirt, her hands running over his well-defined muscles, Cassian turned her over so she was underneath him and said.

_This is not right.

Maya began to take off his pants and responded while kissing his neck.

_According to whom is it not correct? Because it doesn't seem that way to me.

Or maybe you don't like me? _Of course not, you are beautiful, but.

Maya kissed him without giving him time to make more excuses and said.

_So everything is fine, let's continue, don't even think about leaving me hanging.

Somehow Cassian felt like he couldn't stop either or he just didn't want to, his mind was clouded, in the end he let himself be carried away by his instincts, that was his first time and he felt that he touched heaven and returned to earth, he never imagined that the union between a man and a woman could be so wonderful and pleasurable.

*** After making love repeatedly, April ended up falling asleep in Alessandro's arms.

He gently caressed her back, feeling the soft breathing of his wife that rose and fell.

He had deeply hated that marriage, he hated having to marry the daughter of the man who had killed his family and massacred his people, but in those moments he thanked God for their union, for having become her husband, her man.

He gave her a kiss on the forehead and whispered in the silence.

_I love you, my beautiful April.

He placed her in his arms and they slept like that for the rest of the night.

April dreamed about her mother that night, that day her mother looked a little strange, she seemed restless.

_Mother, is something wrong? Sophia hesitated for a moment whether or not to tell her daughter what was troubling her.

_You can tell me what ails you, mother.

_Two old friends have come to the palace today.

I know that one of them has been looking for me for a long time, that he has tied himself to the human world and will not leave until he finds me, But I'm already dead, he won't be able to find me no matter how much he looks for me, no matter how hard he tries he won't be able to find me.

April thought it was very sad that someone was still looking for her mother even though she was dead.

Just imagining that she could die and Alessandro wouldn't find out, that he would continue to search for her desperately made her heart ache.

_Mom, if there's anything I can help you with, I'd love to.

_ Are you serious? _Of course.

Sophia took her daughter's hands in hers and said.

_April, would you lend me your body for a moment, would you let me meet my friend and tell him to stop looking for me, to stop insisting because my life is already over.

April nodded and said.

_Yes mother, I will help you in whatever you need.

Sophia gave her a big hug.

_Thank you my little one, you don't know how important this is to me.
