Chapter 177 THE PEACE IS IN THE HEART

FIRA’S POV

I never slept next to Pyro since the night that I was mad at him. I was in the room of Ember, locked the door, and laid next to her. I ignored Pyro knocking on the door. After a few hours, he disappeared. The next morning I did not see him. Colden and him went to the office early.

“I’m home!” Like the night, I had no plan to talk to him. He wrapped his hands on my belly coming from the back and kissed my cheek. I just removed it and went to the kitchen to give him food. He blew a sigh of frustration.

He was staring at me while he was eating. I could not take his look that was why I went out. I grabbed fresh air at the veranda while looking around.

I missed him already, but I was not in the mood.

I thought he would go to me and asked for my forgiveness, but when I was about to move downstairs, I heard him talking to someone.

“Make it fast. I can’t wait to see its beauty. Sure.” I could see how wide his smile was! That was annoying! What beauty is he talking about? Is he speaking to the other girl again? He is kidding me!

I marched, going back to the veranda. I stayed there for almost three hours. I was waiting for Pyro to go up and see me, but he did not go to me!

I slowly walked towards the door. I held the doorknob and gently rotated it. I was going to peek inside when someone grabbed my hand. That was embarrassing Pyro was behind me, smiling as if he had no mistake for me!

“Aren’t you going to sleep with me?”

I moved backward as he moved to the front. I walked back and back until I was leaning on the door. Our faces were too close. I could feel the fluttering of my heart and the trembling of my knee. I examined his face. There was a black under his eyes, which means he had no complete sleep.

“Please?” His face showed me that he was begging on me.

I rolled my eyes and pinched his nose. “Fine.”

The smile on his lips became wide. He pushed the door. I was shocked when I saw the inside. Our room was full of red and white roses with the candle and white curtain as if it was made for the purpose of a honeymoon. There were candles on the floor, shaping in words of ‘Apology,’

“You’re so sweet for a man who has no sleep.” I chuckled happily. I looked around. Everything was perfectly designed. He was really a romantic king.

“Do you like it?” Pyro held my hand tightly and kissed my hand.

“Super.” I sat on the floor and played with the roses. I was like a kid who was loved smelling the roses. Pyro was watching me while he was sitting on the bed.

“I said my apology to Kyrie. I should not do that.” He held my hand and pulled me up. He placed me on his lap. I leaned my arms on his neck.

“What did he say?”

“No problem. He told me about what happened that day. He’s a good man.”

“I would never be friends with someone who’s not good.”

I looked around and sensed the beauty of the scenery. The room was filled with red color due to the candlelight. It felt like sleeping in this would have a good night.

“Fira, I’m…” Pyro averted his look on me. “I’m thinking of going back to the Elemental Kingdom.”

I was surprised. Our life here was fine and great. Admittedly, I was missing the Elemental Kingdom, but when I thought of my father’s death. My heart was in pain. It was torture to me. We escaped from the kingdom, the reason why my father died. I should stand for my decision because he sacrificed his own life.

“Eira’s pregnancy is in bad condition. She needs our world to make her child’s health. She needs the support from the potion and herbs that are just in the Elemental Kingdom.”

“Why did she not tell me?”

“She doesn’t want you to worry.”

My heart ripped into pieces. If Eira has gone, I would be crazy. We promised that we would protect and be with each other’s side at all times.

“It’s Colden’s child.” Pyro looked down. “We are not sure why the belly of Eira is always freezing. The element of Ice is too worst.”

The sadness was written on my face. “We must go back as soon as possible.”

“I’m going to talk to my father.”

“Yes, please.”

“But now, let’s sleep. We’ll think of them tomorrow.” He walked to the closet and looked for his clothes. I followed him, embraced his back with my arms, and buried my face on his back. “I’m afraid. I’m afraid of losing my sister. She’s the only family I had. Please do anything that you can to help her.”

“I’ll always, Dearest.” He faced me and held my cheek. He stared at my face for a few seconds until he moved closer to me and kissed my lips. The kiss began to be deep. I liked to think of anything, not the condition of my sister.

I wrapped my hands on his neck while tilting my head, giving him full access with my mouth. It was sweeter after the fight. Our bodies were glued to each other as it swayed, dancing with the beat of our hearts. I would not mind if I would get pregnant again.

I felt the smoothness of the bed in my back. Every time, the death of my mother and father popped inside my head plus the struggle of my sister’s pregnancy, I pushed it at the back of my head and focused on me and Pyro.

I could feel his hands removing the button of my shirt. He looked directly at my eyes, observing if I wanted what he was doing. I gave him a small smile as the response.

“Pyro?”

“Hmm?”

“I love you and I always love you. Please keep that in mind.” The tears in my eyes dripped in my side.

Pyro wiped it. “Don’t you want this? I’ll stop.”

“No, I like this, but it seems like my hope in having peace in our life is far from reality.”

Pyro kissed th peak of my nose. “It’s not the peace we need. It’s the love that must stay in our hearts until the last day of our life because when we have love…everything seems in peace.”

I pulled his face towards me. I slammed our lips with all our hearts, soul, adoration, and admiration.

When we were no clothes, I smiled. When he was cherishing every part of my body, I smiled. When he was asking permission, I smiled.

As long as Pyro is beside me. I left no choice, but to smile.

I realized the peace is in the heart.
