"Why does my choice not matter, Conrad?" Her voice trembled when she spoke.
I brought my hand to her cheek, wiping the tears away. God, this woman was so beautiful even though she was in tears.
"Because Eliana, I'd received the signal. And there's no way I can live without you right now."
She shook her head, "I don't want to be a slave, being here beside you when you'll marry Stella someday. I don't want to be your mistress."
Where the fuck she got the Idea from? "I can only promise you one thing. I don't know how long you'll stay here as a slave, but I promise no other woman beside you."
She furrowed "That's not going to fix it.."
I know how important the status might be for her. But there's really no other choice. She leaving me was not one of them. "That's the only thing I can promise you, right now." I said.
