Chapter 255
When I finish getting ready, he observes me from head to toe with a
hungry, proud look.
“Now we’re talking…” His low voice carries pure satisfaction. “You’re
dressing like the man I like.”
I smile, adjusting the collar of his shirt.
“And you…” I rest my forehead against his. “You’re dressing like the
man I worship.”
He kisses my lips in a calm, almost reverent gesture. Our mouths
move in sync–slow, soft–savoring the moment as if it were the first
and the last all at once.
His hands move up to my waist and pull me closer, his fingers
gripping firmly enough to draw a muffled, involuntary groan from
between my lips.
When he breaks the kiss, the frustration escapes me in another groan,
stifled and helpless.
“Don’t worry…” A half–smile appears, his eyes gleaming. “We’ll kiss

Chapter 255
whenever you want.”
He kisses my forehead and speaks softly.
“Ready? It’s time to finally leave this place.”
I smile, my heart racing, and I kiss his throat before taking his hand,
intertwining our fingers.
“Yes, let’s go, my love.”
We leave our old cell behind and walk down the corridor. Every step
sounds different now–lighter, freer.
“I’m so satisfied that my father arrived ahead of schedule,” I comment
excitedly.
“You know, love, I’ve always wanted to ask… Why don’t you like him?”
he asks suddenly.
I shrug; the answer comes without a second thought.
“I don’t know. To be honest, I don’t like any human being except you,
love. To me, they’re nothing but vermin breathing the same pure air
you do. I hate it when they touch me without permission, and he does
it all the time, knowing I hate it. So… that’s reason enough for me to
217
Chapter 255
want to kill him.”
Magnus smiles slightly, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing it
affectionately.
“No killing your father, love.”
I sigh, almost disappointed.
“But he’s only useful for a few things, love. Now that we’re leaving
here, I don’t need him anymore.”
He leans in and kisses my forehead.
“Leave your father in peace, my love.”
Hearing him call me that completely melts me. I feel my chest warm
up, and I smile, shaking my head.
“You’re manipulating me, love.”
He only smiles, without denying it, and that’s enough to make me
laugh quietly.
We return to the courtyard. There stand the Warden, my father–still
with that victorious smile–and even David, whom I prefer to pretend.

doesn’t exist. I pull my love by the hand, straight toward the
helicopter.
“Climb in, my king.”
I help him up and soon join him, fastening the belt across his body
first, then my own.
My father approaches. I huff, irritated just by the sight of him; he
should just stay here and die already. Before I can say anything, I feel
Magnus’s warm hand rest on my thigh, squeezing lightly. All the hate
evaporates in a second. I melt into his touch.
My father signals the pilot, and the helicopter begins to rise. The
blades spin with force, and the prison grows smaller and smaller until
it vanishes completely from my sight.
I look at my father, who understands my gaze and simply nods. I
smile faintly in response.
Magnus watches the sky through the window, his eyes fixed on the
clouds.
Who would have thought it would all end like this?
Me, the one who believed Magnus would never surrender, that he’d
417
Chapter 255
spend his life hating me. But he surrendered. He fell in love. He loves
- me. He is as possessive of me as I am of him.
I love him so much that sometimes it feels like all of this is a dream,
that at any moment I’ll wake up and realize none of this is real. But it
- is. His hand squeezing my thigh is real.
Magnus is real.
He isn’t a dream; he is my reality.
I close my eyes, letting this feeling consume me entirely.
Our story began with a simple look in a diner… and it unfolded inside
a prison.
Now, we move forward together, ready to continue in the real world-
no bars, no chains.
Just the two of us.
Forever.
I open a lazy smile and murmur.
“Imagine if this helicopter crashed right now?”

“Shut the hell up,” Magnus replies seriously, but the tone draws a
loud laugh from me.
I squeeze his hand, watching the horizon that opens up before us.
Our future starts here. And Magnus will never leave me, because we
were born for each other.
And if one day he tries to change that…
Well, I have my cruel methods to ensure it stays this way.
THE END.
