Ryzen POV

I don't know why, but for some reason, Lennox was being so clingy today. He had always been affectionate, but it was just so extra today. He literally could not get his hands off me.

Somewhat, I understand...

After all, this is the first time that we visited my condo after everything that happened.

At the Yu mansion, although he visited often, there were many eyes following us.

The mansion was huge, but it does not make me feel like we had privacy. There was too much house-help in there.

Besides, it is not like atmosphere here in my condo, where we have spent most of our time together before.

Aside from being exceedingly affectionate, Lennox would often look at me with a meaningful stare. During a moment, I asked him why he was staring at me that way.

"Why? Am I not allowed to stare at you? I can't help it... you're too beautiful."

Because he would murmur sweet nothings like those, I did not think much of it. I was too flustered to question him more.

I am not one who get flustered easily with compliments but whenever he says it with his deep, low voice and at the same time, looks at me with a loving stare, it was really impossible to not make my heart flutter.

But, from the looks of it, he really looked like he wanted to say something. He was just hesitant about it and covered it up by purposely making me flustered.

"Do you have something you want to tell me?" I said in a soft voice.

I was leaning on his shoulder, so I stretched out my hand and cupped his face, looking intently into his eyes.

Lennox took my palm off his face and kissed it softly. He really loves doing this, huh?

Then, he stroked my forehead a little and swept his hand through my hair. He looked like he was still contemplating, as he looked at me with a hint of worry.

I took his hand and kept rubbing it on my face. I liked how I felt his skin and body temperature through my palm.

I like it all. I like everything about him.

"Why are you hesitating? Is it hard to tell? If it so, then it is okay. I respect you and I won't ask anymore..." I murmured gently.

Lennox shook his head a little and suddenly took the opportunity to capture my slightly opened lips.

He sucked on my lips and wove his mouth into my open mouth. His tongue slightly caressed the insides of it.

He left my lips for a second, only to start kissing me again. He suckled, licked, caressed and bit my lips.

The kiss was passionate, as if he was drawing courage from doing that.

"It's not that... I'm just a little bit wary, since what I'm about to say may sound ridiculous. It is fine if you do not take it seriously." he said.

I curved my lips into a genuine smile, wanting to assure him.

"It's fine. Don't worry, no matter what it is, I'll listen to it." I replied in a gentle tone.

His jaw clenched and he closed his eyes for a little bit. When he opened his eyes, he licked his lips before talking.

It really looked like a difficult thing to say, hmm? Just when I was about to say that he really did not have to say it, he suddenly spoke.

"I had a dream about another woman."

When I heard those words though, my heart sank almost instinctively. I froze on my spot.

What? Another woman?

I knew in my heart that the heavens have assured me, so there's nothing to worry about, right?

But then... what if the heavens suddenly changed their plans?

After all, everything seemed too good to be true. I am afraid that everything may not be real, that there's a limit to the happiness that I currently feel.

Inwardly, I calmed myself. I should not overthink this much. Looking directly at Lennox's eyes, there was a hint of anxiety in them.

"I kind of saw a glimpse of that woman's lifetime in my dream, until she died in a plane accident. I saw Zaynah and Dr. Rose Ferrada in her lifetime, so I guess it must be their family member..."

Upon hearing his words, I instantly shivered.

My eyes widened and I even had to put my hands over my widened mouth in order to cover it.

My reaction did not escape his silent probing. He only looked at me curiously and held my waist tighter.

No way...

I could not stop my heart from beating fast, as I listened more to him.

"Then, out of nowhere, after that woman talked to an eccentric-looking man, I saw that woman's soul in the same room as your body, that was unconscious. With some unseen power, that woman seemed to have entered your body..."

He licked his lips once again before staring at me intently with a gentle gaze, a bit worried at my reaction.

"It was just a dream but I could not take it off my mind. I feel like I could only take it off if I were to tell you, since you were in that dream momentarily. Does it seem ridiculous? I'm sorry you had to hear all of that..." he said gently, while caressing my waist a little bit more.

It is the heavens who showed him that dream, I'm sure.

If not, then how could it be so accurate? How could it even show parts where I was talking to Sorcellerie and the process of my soul occupying Millen Yu's body? Even I, myself, did not see that exactly happened. I simply just experienced it.

But, how could they show them this?

Before, it was Sorcellerie who have prevented me when I had the urge to tell Zaynah.

But then, of course, at that time, I was still doing my mission...

I wanted to take this to my grave and I thought that I would never have the chance to talk about the phenomenon that I experienced...

With how things are right now, I could only deduce that the heavens have allowed me to share my story with this person. Indeed, he is the only person that I could bare my true self to.

I tried to show him a bright smile, but tears came to my eyes instead. It was from a mixture of relief, agony and nervousness because finally, everything was going to be off my chest.

Seeing my reaction, he lowered his head a little to kiss the tears that were falling from my eyes. Although he tried to maintain a calm composure, I could tell that he was concerned about my current state.

"No. I believe you. From what you saw, I could say honestly that all of those were real. Maybe, it was the heavens that showed you that. Can I tell you my story?"

After hearing my words, he flinched. He gulped as his eyes widened a little.

However, it was only momentarily. Lennox put a soft kiss on my forehead and gave me a small smile.

"Please do..." he whispered.

From that, I told him everything, from my origins, what the heavens have disclosed and all the pains that I had...

He had a mix of reaction throughout it all, but he was listening seriously and not assuming that I was just speaking nonsense.

He was looking at me as if he was only enlightened and trying to make sense of everything...

"This was something that I thought that I would disclose to anyone else. But since you had a dream like that, for me, it seemed like the heavens have allowed me to at least reveal it to you..." I said softly.

Lennox only nodded and pulled me closer to him, holding me tighter in his embrace.

"Then, I must thank the heavens for making it that way, hmm? I am thankful that with the endless possibilities, you are the only one meant for me."

Even though I have revealed everything to him, my heart beat could not calm down. From his embrace, I could tell that his heart beat was also as loud as a marching drum.

Is it possible to be this happy? I really thought that this was something I'd carry all by myself throughout this lifetime...

"My heart is safe with you, since you are the only one who makes me want to love. More than anything, I am in love and faithful to your soul..." he murmured softly.

At this point, some things don't even need to be explained, or need to be said. I could feel it by my instinct. There is a silent understanding that only the two of us could understand.

"Mmm. It is the same for me too. I am merely charmed by your looks and personality. It is your soul that I have truly fallen for." I said sincerely, looking at him with misty eyes.

Lennox only lowered his head a little before he meshed his lips with mine again. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling.

His hot tongue occupied my mouth and in an instant, it was sweeping over my teeth and reaching deep into my mouth.

The kiss was so intense that it did not give me space to breathe. I panted breathlessly, but managed to follow.

When he broke away, he changed the direction and overlapped my lips over and over again. When he was finished, he licked his lips.

"You completely own me... I belong only to you." he murmured.

It seemed like he still wasn't satisfied with the kiss he gave me, so he repeatedly placed light kisses on my lips. Gradually, the atmosphere turned into a heated one.

I am so lucky to have this man, the only one who can truly know everything about me, yet understand and still accept me.

I cannot contain my happiness at the fact that everything that happened in my life ultimately led me to this man...

The heavens have not lied at all, I'm sure.

Truly, this man is my soulmate.
