The Seventh Miserable Bride

"Where was it?"

Sebastian Simons asked nervously.

"I heard that she went to the mountain."

Black Wolf was puzzled. "What's wrong with this girl? Why would she go to the mountain on such a cold day?"

Sebastian knew very well that Yasmine Taylor had gone to the mountain to see the legendary Snow Diamond - it was a kind of powdery snow that sparkled under the light, like diamonds. He immediately picked up his coat and was about to go out. Black Wolf stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going over to find her."

"No, the weather is very bad tonight. It would be very dangerous to go up the mountain."

"I have to go, too. Didn't you hear that my wife has already gone up the mountain?"

"I'll ask them to look for her. You should just wait here patiently."

"I don't have the patience to wait any longer. I must go with them to look for her."

Seeing that Sebastian's attitude did not waver at all, Black Wolf had no choice but to agree, "All right, let's go together then."

"You don't have to do that. I'll go with them." "What are you talking about? My good friend's wife is missing. How can I just let it be?"

Hence, the group of people went up the mountain one after another. The mountains in Hokkaido were enormous, and it was still snowing heavily. Sebastian was too eager to find Yasmine, so he ended up getting separated from the group.

He walked alone and called out Yasmine's name. It was already midnight and it wouldn't be easy to find someone. He couldn't help but feel very regretful that he shouldn't have gone to see Abigail Tanner. If he hadn't done that, Yasmine wouldn't have run away out of anger.

"Yasmine, Yasmine, where are you-"

He shouted hysterically. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, almost burying him. Wasn't his wife the one who was afraid most afraid of the darkness? Why did she come to this mountain just to fight against him?

Sebastian fell down on the snow, panting, and his whole body was filled with a deep sense of frustration. He took out his mobile phone again, but this time, there was no signal on it.

Yasmine regretted once she arrived at the mountain. Even if she really wanted to see the Snow Diamond, she shouldn't have come at night. If there were any wild wolves and dogs attacking her at this time, she would definitely not survive.

She found a small cave and hid at the entrance of the cave, shivering because of the bitter cold. When she took out her mobile phone, there was no signal too. The wind howled and almost froze her to into an icicle. She stood straight with her frozen numb legs and jumped hard, hoping to add some warmth to her body. The night was getting even darker, and her heart was getting more flustered. The snowflakes which were floating along with the wind suddenly made her miss Sebastian a lot.

She did not dare to go too deep into the cave. She was afraid that there would be wild beasts or malicious ghosts which would suddenly appear in the cave, so she could only hide at the entrance of the cave. She curled herself up as the snowflakes fell on her, gradually freezing her into a snowman.

"Yasmine-Yasmine Taylor-"

In her numb consciousness, she suddenly heard someone calling her name as if it was coming from the distant sky. She trembled, opened her frozen throat, and shouted back, "I'm here..." Sebastian was not too far from her. When he heard her reply, his heart almost stopped beating. He looked around in surprise and asked, "Yasmine, where are you? Where are you?"

"Here..."

Yasmine waved her arm which was covered in snow. As soon as she waved her hand, the snow fell off. Finally, Sebastian saw her and rushed towards her. As he reached her, he held her tightly in his arms and said worriedly, "You scared me to death. I thought that I would never see you again."

They hugged each other tightly as if they wanted to meld themselves into a singular soul, mixing their love and blood together. Yasmine's tears rolled down as she sobbed softly.

"Yasmine, promise me that you won't run away from home anymore, okay? Do you know how worried I was?"

Yasmine's entire body was frozen. She had just used up all her strength to call out to Sebastian, so she couldn't even say a word anymore and could only snuggle up feebly in Sebastian's arms. "It's too cold out here. Come on, I'll carry you down the mountain."

Sebastian bent slightly as he tried to carry Yasmine onto his back. But as soon as he took a step, he heard the sound of an avalanche coming from the distance. He quickly stopped and said, "It seems that it will be very dangerous for us to go down the mountain in such bad weather." He looked around and took her hand. "Let's go deeper into the cave and stay here for the night."

The avalanche was already very serious when he was on the way up. It would be too dangerous if he were to go down the mountain now. If it was only him alone, it would be fine. But if Yasmine was with him, he would not risk getting her hurt.

The entrance of the cave was not very deep, only about 100 meters long. It was very dark inside. Yasmine Taylor did not dare to stay inside, so she ran out. Sebastian quickly caught up with her and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid."

She whispered, and he immediately remembered that she had been suffering from acute claustrophobia. He pointed to the place where there was light at the entrance of the cave and said, "Then let's stay there."

It was not cold inside the cave, but Yasmine was afraid of the dark. The outside was not frightening for her, but the cold was unbearable. It was a dilemma.

Sebastian wanted to take off his coat and put it on her, but she refused to let him do that. The two of them argued for a while and in the end, he had to embrace her thin body in his arms and warm her cold hands with his warm breath.

The cold was still bearable during the middle of the night. But when it was almost dawn, it began to freeze everywhere. Yasmine finally couldn't stand it anymore. Even though she was being held tightly by Sebastian, she was still trembling incessantly. Seeing her cold hands and feet, Sebastian felt so distressed that he wanted to take off all of his clothes and put it on her body, to give her more warmth. "It's so cold..."

Yasmine said while she was still in his arms. Seeing that the cold would soon freeze her to death, Sebastian suddenly thought of a way to warm her up.

He took off his coat and spread it on the cold ground. He then placed Yasmine down on his coat and unzipped her pants.

Yasmine was shocked and sobered up a little. She asked shyly, "What are..."

He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Yasmine, don't be afraid. I just want to warm you up, so you won't feel so cold anymore."

As he spoke, his hands did not stop moving. He quickly unbuckled her pants and pulled them off halfway down to her knees. Her skin was suddenly exposed to the cold air, and Yasmine's teeth began to chatter. "Sebastian, it's cold, it's too cold..."

"It will be fine soon."

They clung onto each other and gasped for air as they began to make love to each other for warmth. After a while, they slowly sat up. The unification of their bodies was able to resist the deadly cold outside. Sebastian then tidied up her clothes and hugged her in his arms, saying, "Get some sleep."

He didn't ask her why she had run away from home, so Yasmine asked first, "How did you know that I had come to Japan?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to come here last time? I happened to make you angry yesterday so apart from here, I really couldn't figure out where you would go."

"Then how did you know that I'm here? Those people who looked for me didn't find me, did they?"

Sebastian lowered his head slightly and poked her forehead with his fingers as he said dotingly, "Very well, it turns out that you actually know that I'm looking for you, and you deliberately came to the mountain. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come and just let you stay here alone."

"Who asked you to come? You even took advantage of my body when you are here."

"Took advantage of your body? I was saving your life, okay?" "Who would have ever thought of this method of saving someone's life?"

"What's wrong with this method? Don't underestimate sex. It has helped you warm and not being frozen to death. If I didn't show up in front of you tonight, you probably would have died because of the cold. Don't you think so?"

"Isn't it better to die? Then, you can get back together with Abigail. I think both of you have this intention anyway."

"Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the cave if you continue talking about it."

Sebastian's face was full of anger.

"Okay fine, I won't say it then. It's the truth anyway, whether I say it or not."

Yasmine got out of his arms, lay on the ground, and closed her eyes with her back facing him.

Sebastian also lay down and pulled her into his arms, letting her head rest on his arm. He said earnestly, "Yasmine, don't worry. I said that I won't abandon you, then I won't abandon you. Maybe I can't get over Abigail completely now, but I will try my best to chase her out from my heart and you can have it all to yourself, okay?"

"Let's talk about it when you have chased her out."

She yawned as if she was not moved by the promise that Sebastian had just given her.

After that, Sebastian spoke a lot to Yasmine, but she was dozing off and did not listen to a single word he said.

When it was dawn, Sebastian gently pushed her to wake her up. "Do you want to see the Snow Diamond?"

She got up and rushed out of the cave. Stepping on the thick snow on the ground, she carefully walked to the place where the sun rose.

The snow last night was no longer falling from the sky, but there were still sporadic snowflakes. Sebastian followed behind her and did not know whether to laugh or cry at her enthusiasm.

The two of them stood in the snow and waited for almost half an hour. Their hair was completely wet from melted snowflakes, but they did not see the legendary Snow Diamond. The legend had said that a couple would be together forever if they had encountered it together.

"Yasmine, let's go. After all, it's just a legend. How can there really be any Snow Diamonds?"

"There is. My classmate has seen it before, but it's a pity that she was alone when she saw it. Let's wait for a little while longer."

"Perhaps her vision was impaired?" Sebastian said to himself.

Yasmine rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You are the one that has visual impairment!"

After waiting for another 20 minutes, the two of them almost became little snowmen from standing in the cold, but still, they did not see any of the so-called Snow Diamonds. Sebastian was already starting to get a little impatient and said: "Honey, let's call off this hunt for the Snow Diamonds, okay? If you like diamonds, I can buy you a whole carriage of them tomorrow. Let's not wait here endlessly like fools, okay?" "In the end, you just don't believe in the legend of the Snow Diamond, do you?"

"Yes, I just don't."

Sebastian admitted frankly this time. Yasmine lifted her leg and kicked him at his crotch, viciously. "If you don't believe in it, then you can go down now. No one forced you to be here."
