Chapter 251
Adrian Kael
Four days have passed. My Magnus is recovering fast, even faster than
I expected.
Every morning, before he wakes up, I give him a massage, careful and slow. I clean every part of him and apply ointment to the wounds, which are already almost healed. The swelling in his face has gone down significantly; only a slight bruise remains under his eye, nothing serious. There are still a few marks on his body, but nothing
that worries me.
He can already sit up and eat by himself, though I don’t allow it. I love to feed him with my own hands; it’s a pleasure I simply can’t give up. To my misfortune, he can also get up well enough to go to
the toilet on his own.
Our routine over these four days has been simple: I wake up early, leave the cell only to fetch meals, and eat by his side. The prison is quieter now. Ever since what I did to Navarro, no one has had the courage to cross my path.
Fear has spread, and honestly, I like it.

To hell with this place.
Soon, my god and I will be out of here, leaving everything behind.
I let out a sigh and watch him sleep. I’m kneeling beside the bed, elbows resting on the mattress, my face close to his. Magnus sleeps deeply, his body still in recovery.
He wakes up, eats, we talk for a bit, and soon he goes back to sleep. And I stay like this, admiring him, addicted to every detail of his
beauty.
I am happy.
Truly happy.

Knowing that my Magnus loves me, even without saying it, is all I need. His “I love you” was giving me permission to break his legs if he ever tries to run. That is the language of our love: brutal, sincere, and
real.
Magnus has become my world, my air, my reason. I don’t want to return to that emptiness from before, to that feeling of feeling nothing, of having no purpose. He taught me what love is, even if in a twisted way. And I love him so much, so much that my chest actually
aches.

Chapter 251
I want to walk with him through the streets holding hands, showing everyone that this man is mine. I want to spoil him because I know he never had anything good in his childhood. I want to shower him with gifts, just to see his serious face try to hide a smile.
Magnus is my god, my king, my sovereign.
But even so, the fear still exists–the fear of losing him, of waking up and finding him gone. I try to push that thought away. Relationships are built on trust, aren’t they? And he gave me his.
If he tries to run, I will simply fulfill the promise: I’ll break his legs. He gave me that permission himself.
“What are you thinking about to have that dark glint on your face?” His voice pulls me from my thoughts.
A blink is enough to bring me back to reality. I lean in and kiss his cheek, smiling.
“That if you run away from me, I’ll break your legs.”
He lets out a brief laugh, the sound hoarse and amused.
“Starting the day with madness already, huh?”

Chapter 251
I give a light, sincere laugh.
“And it’s this madness that you love, my love.”
Magnus huffs, but he doesn’t deny it.
And that silence is enough.
I don’t need words.
Because deep down, I know he loves me, and that is enough.
“Help me get up; I need to urinate.” His voice comes out raspy, still marked by sleep.
I stand up immediately, slipping one arm behind his neck and the other under his thighs, lifting him with ease.
“What the fuck, Adrian!” His eyes go wide, surprised. “Put me on the
floor!”
I ignore the protest and kiss his neck, feeling the heat of his skin against my lips.
“I’m helping you, my love. Relax,” I say lowly with a satisfied smile.

I walk to the toilet and, carefully, set him on his feet.
“How can you carry me like that? I’m six–foot–six, and I’m heavy,” he
grumbles, still in disbelief.
