Chapter Bound by fate (greed’s revelation- greed’s pov)
With her delicate form cradled in my arms, I carried her to her room—a sanctuary where our worlds seemed to converge. Gently placing her on the bed, I couldn't help but marvel at the fragility of her existence—the intricate dance of human life that had captivated my heart.
In a voice laced with a mixture of relief and regret, I whispered, "I thought I was too late... that I wouldn't be able to hear the melody of those talented fingers again." My gaze met hers, and in her eyes, I saw a question—a question that demanded an explanation for the events that had transpired.
Aurora's voice trembled as she spoke, her words tinged with the pain of misunderstanding. "I saw you with another girl. I thought... I thought you didn't want me." Her vulnerability struck a chord within me, a chord that resonated with the weight of the truth I had kept hidden.
I looked into her eyes, my own heart heavy with the weight of what I needed to confess. "It wasn't me," I said, the words weighted with an admission that had been long overdue. "It was my brother, Lust, disguised as me." The confession spilled forth—the truth that my own actions had cast shadows of doubt upon our connection.
Guilt mingled with the truth, for I had kept her in the dark for far too long. "There's something else you need to know," I continued, my gaze steady as I met hers. "I'm not human. I'm a demon born from the depths of hell itself—a demon named Greed." The words hung in the air, the gravity of my identity settling upon us like a heavy shroud.
As I looked away, shame coursed through me—the shame of keeping her from the truth, the shame of involving her in a world that was far beyond her understanding. But the weight of my confession did not end there—I had to reveal the extent of my actions, the irreversible bond that had been formed.
"I was too late to save you," I admitted, the admission a heavy burden that I could no longer carry alone. "I took your choice away from you. I did something that no demon has ever done before. I bound myself to you, body and soul." The truth hung in the air—a revelation that held the power to alter the course of her existence.
