Chapter 149 The Calling...
"I said enough!"
"This is my first child; I must make sure the mother does not do anything stupid."
"Didn't you always want a child of your own?"
"Be happy! Your wish, at last, is fulfilled."
Hearing my disgraceful words, Beatrix gnashed her teeth.
"Bastard! Yes, I wanted a child!"
"But I wanted a child with my lover, not with a scumbag like you!"
Her tongue was still spitting fire.
"Leave me"
"No!"
"Release!"
"No!"
"Fuckinh leave!"
"No."
"Release!"
"No."
The same words went to and fro between us for some good minutes as I refused to let her go!
Beatrix was getting frustrated with Elandor's sheer insistence, and worst of all…..the fact that she was constantly being held by a man other than Louis was so disturbing.
Every moment she felt Elandor's solid and rough hands on her waist, every second she smelt his strong masculine smell drifting provocatively to her nose, she felt as if her body was getting more and more decreased.
"Okay, tell me what it will take for you to leave me!"
This time I didn't say no,
"It's simple. All you have to do is promise not to do anything silly, especially taking your life."
Tired of being annoyed, Beatrix finally agreed.
All she wanted was to get a thousand steps from the scum who forced her.
Her thought process was simple -Just make a false promise, then end your life later when he is not paying any attention.
This was the plan she came up with.
"Okay, I agree."
Hearing her affirmation, I released my grip over her.
By now, she had recovered a considerable amount of energy, so this time she didn't fall like before.
She looked at me while I looked at her.
To be precise, my gaze was on her stomach.
After all, the acting must keep on going lest all the efforts turn to waste.
She probably felt it too, with her bare hands she tried to cover her purplish-girlish shirt which was slightly torn near the belly area.
''Shameless", she muttered in low amplitude.
Compared to before, her mood seemed to have calmed down a lot.
At least, I wasn't seeing some serious hysterical facial signs, the one who has given up on her life usually makes before committing suicide.
Because of my subtle manipulation, her mental state became stable, trying to guess the authenticity of my earlier words.
Now that killing herself was no longer her top agenda, it was time to move on to the other important things.
When I communicated with Mitsuha earlier, I mentioned that I will surely be back after a week. Why was I so sure?
It's because from the moment I came to this strange place the last evening, from the very first second there was a constant calling in my head.
It is like someone constantly incoherently whispering in my head to travel in a particular direction towards the forest away from the riverbank where we were currently standing.
The feeling was instinctual as if as long as I travel down that path I will get out of this place within 4-5 days.
My best option was to try to communicate with Selena.
Since she was the core of the simulation system and had lived for so long, I was pretty sure she must have an idea of what place we were in.
But sadly, she couldn't come out. To be precise, I could feel that she was trapped in her system space like some mysterious force was preventing her from coming out, blocking our communication altogether.
Probably, this was the same force which was restricting me from using my abilities.
Therefore, with no option left, all we could do was follow that strange voice in our head.
At least, I didn't feel any malicious intentions from that unclear voice.
"So what's next?"
Crossing her arms, Beatrix questioned me.
"You must be able to hear it too."
"Concentrate in your head and you can feel someone telling you to go down a particular path if you want to get out."
Unlike before, my face was serious this time.
Having nothing to do, Beatrix closed her eyes and did what I said.
After a few seconds, her eyes abruptly opened.
"Indeed!"
She looked towards a particular area.
I knew where she was looking, I too had looked there just a few moments back.
It was a dense path shrouded by many thick branches on its either side. Due to the towering trees, there was hardly any sunlight entering there.
It was no different than a dark path straight from those horror movies I had seen during my childhood.
"As long as we can get to the end of that road, we can get out of here", Beatrix spoke slowly, feeling the same as me.
"But I will go first!"
"I don't want to see your annoying face. It's so bothersome!"
"You follow after me only once I had walked a considerable distance", Beatrix replied in a stern voice.
"That won't work!"
"Who knows by the time I reach you…What I might find is your dead body!"bender
"You don't expect me to believe your earlier half-sincere promise, right?"
Feeling the sarcasm in my words, her eyebrows furrowed as she took a deep breath.
"But as long as you can convince me, it's not impossible. It's just….. I am worried about our future child."
There was a silence as both of us looked at each other, no one wanted to give in.
"Fine!"
In the end, Beatrix conceded.
To get away from Elandor, she was ready to pay any price.
"I promise it on the name of my family, my mother whom I love the most other than Louis that I won't do anything that harm me or the baby in my womb."
She took deep breaths. Speaking these words seemed to have exhausted all the energy she had recovered.
"Happy? Are you convinced now?"
In a mocking tone, she shouted at me.
"Yeah, you can leave first!"
Without wasting any further time, Beatrix limped all the way to that dark path.
I kept looking till her receeding back merged with the darkness.
There were two reason I let her go alone, first was to give her enough space.
Right now, her head was in a mess.
Although, the desire to give up on her life had diminished a lot, she still needed to sort out various conflicting thoughts and figure out the most important thing: What to do in future?
Even if it was to give her a reason to keep on living…..No matter how much I try to convince my conscious, I can't deny the reality that I forced her to have sex with me.
Seeing me will only make her more annoyed & frustrated, and things instead of progressing will keep going downhill.
So to adapt to what has happened, she must be given a buffer time.
Moreover, after having sex, I already shared my bloodline with her. As long as we are in the same place, I can feel her presence no matter how further the distance between us is.
To be on the safe side, I will never let her get out of my tracking range.
The second important reason was that we were not alone in this strange place.
Yes, unlike Beatrix….even though I had lost my cultivation realms, my perception abilities added from the system rewards before were top-notch.
I was aware of it….
