Chapter 140 - Hell Without You
Ethan rushed into the room hearing the noise Sharon's body made falling, and when he saw John glancing at the lady's body with a furious gaze on his face he took a breath of relief.
"What happened?
" he asked and John took few seconds before traveling his gaze on his brother.
"She threatened Roselyn to leave me otherwise she would have killed our father,
" John said with a still angry voice and his eyebrows still knitted down.
"Bring her somewhere else before I rip her apart,
" John said to his brother who nodded. Ethan listened to his brother's order, he knew there was something wrong with that lady and he was glad to have helped to make John open his eyes. Ethan reached the wood and dropped her body over the ground before rubbing sticks against each other, when flames generated and a fire appeared, he set to fire the banshee's body and admired it as it burned and slowly turned into ash that the wind lifted and brushed away in few minutes.
When the body finally crumbled and disappeared burned by the fire he went back to the castle but he heard some weird noises, he knitted his eyebrows and tried to quietly walk, staying alert at each noise. He thought people had sneaked inside the house while he was busy in the wood and John was probably distracted.
But as soon as he saw where the noises were coming from he quickly turned around and rushed outside having regretted his decision.
John and Roselyn who were kissing roughly over the wall heard footsteps and quickly flinched around but when they saw the person that entered and now was walking fastly toward the door they both giggled.
They forgot for a second that they weren't the only ones in the castle anymore, there was also John's father and brother.
They stared at each other quietly for few instants before John shook his head,
"next time talk to me before. It had been hell without you.
" Roselyn nodded, they had been distant for just one day and a half yet they both had been missing each other as if they had been distant for months.
"I promise, I will,
" Roselyn said before John wrapped his hands around Roselyn's hips hugging her from behind he began to walk toward the room where his father was in.
"I can finally introduce you to my father,
" John said with a cheerful voice. Roselyn widened her eyes and as soon as she heard his words she fixed her hair and her dress, she wondered what he thought about her.
"I hope he will like me.
" Roselyn breathed out seriously concerned. She knew how much his father meant to John and she was willing to create a strong bond with him too.
"He will.
" John heard her even if her tone of voice was so low and barely hearable.
John opened the door where his father was resting. Roselyn's heart skipped a beat and for a second she forgot how to breathe until she saw his father's eyes glimmering and his lips' corners curving up with a welcoming smile. She took a breath of relief,
"nice to meet you.
" She said shily stretching her hand out. King William slowly uncovered himself and got up from the bed to wrap his hands over her neck.
"You're the girl who bewitched my son. I had never seen him concerned like that before, and the light his eyes spark when they look at you... I thought he would never feel this way but I am glad he finally experienced what love is.
"
Roselyn smiled at John's father and then at John. She was feeling the same way, they were probably the less likely people in the world to fall in love yet somehow they managed to meet and get so emotionally involved to push them to do things they never imagined they could do or would do.
"I share the same feelings for your son, and I hope nothing will ever get in our way again.
" Roselyn smiled, a glimpse of sadness in her voice. She didn't want things to end like that with Sharon but they had no other choices.
"I just am sorry I didn't take part in the wedding but I can promise I will be here for the next progress you will reach.
" King William said, taking the couple's hands and joining them together.
"All that matters is that we are here now and that we are together. I have the two most important people of my life here and I found out I have a brother. Someone pinch me because I can't believe this is real.
" John exclaimed and laughed.
"It is a start over, for all of us,
" Roselyn commented nodding, it was. All their enemies had been fought and she could finally see a free path in front of her that was leading to happiness.
John leaned closer to her and stole her a gently yet passionate kiss gripping around her hips,
"I love you.
" He tried to murmur as low as possible yet William still managed to hear it and smiled.
Roselyn blushed as she could feel William's gaze set over them and that embarrassed her. The lady didn't only show him what love was but she also showed him what loss was and how hard it was for him to live without her. But he kept that for herself, imagining that Roselyn already knew or she would soon find out.
Roselyn departed from the kiss and her cheeks were heating up and so red that John couldn't suffocate the imminent laugh.
Roselyn glowered at him for a second and folded her arms to shook her head.
"How sweet is she?
" John teased her tapping her nose and staring at her with an idiot look on his face.
"So now someone can explain to me what happened?
" King William saved Roselyn from the embarrassing situation that John purposely dragged her just to get his little revenge over her for having left him alone.
"Yes,
" John said, before dedicating his full attention to his father.
Roselyn smiled at William understanding it was a helping hand to distract John from teasing her and embarrassing her.
All the three of them sat on the edge of the bed and John began to explain everything that happened since his apparent death, the more he explained the more William's face was even more surprised, for all the things his son mentioned it seemed like it had been years.. William's gaze darted between the couple as they explained together all the events that had occurred.
