"I've waited for her in this very same castle for years! Roaming around these rooms all lonely in hope that I'll get her back! And now when I have her, I'll take her with me and make her like me! I'm not losing her this time!" Diego says with dominance.
"What do you mean, you'll make her like you!?" Desmond retorts back.
"SHUT UP!" I yell before anyone could let any other word slip through their lips. This is seriously ridiculous! And Desmond is just being obstinate that is his true self!
"Do you both want to fight!? You look like you are ready to kill each other! Phew!" I exclaim.
"And Desmond, you don't need to be so worked up! What is the problem if Diego wants me to be here! And he has the right to do so!" I say with clear anger on my face and making Diego look at me like he is trying to find something or probably thinking on his own.
"Would anyone tell us what is happening here?" Rhett then asks looking uncomfortable as he switches his gaze between Diego and Desmond.
Before I could say anything, Desmond storms out with long strides and I know he is angry but he brought it up! I don't know what is wrong with him?
"Rhett, Brett, I'm going to tell you this but you both have to promise me that no matter WHAT, okay? ANYTHING happens but you won't open your mouth to tell this to anyone AT ALL." I say stressing over my words. They both look at each other before nodding.
"Is he seriously your husband?" Brett asks before I could even start. I roll my eyes at his habit and at the same time Diego stands beside me and snakes his hand around my waist.
"Yes, and now hear me first," I say.
"Yes, but when did you get married to him?" He asks looking scary more than shocked.
"Will you hear me out?" I ask him.
"Yes, but first tell me when did you get married to him? Have you known him before we came here? Did you guys meet somewhere in the past? But you didn't know him when we came here, right? Then when did you get married to him? Why did..." He starts and I stop him.
"LISTEN to me, will you?" I say and he shakes his head.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, say. When did..." He says and I again cut her off before he could talk more.
"I get married to him?" I complete his question and he nods.
"Okay, so..." I start and look at Diego before telling them how I had gone to that room of mine from the past and literally saw it all in front of my eyes. I tell them about my marriage with Diego in my past life and my name. Then how Desmond shook me out of it, of course leaving the kiss part.
After explaining to them everything who have just remained seated throughout the time I had spoken, they both are still sitting with zero expressions on their faces. Both are just blinking their eyes from time to time and parting their lips to say something before closing them again. They both look funny.
"This issss... cool?" Brett says and I'm surprised he is the first one to speak.
"Yeah," I say giving them time to process everything. Honestly, though, in this whole time that I was telling them about all the things that I've encountered before, I myself was shaking from inside. It was like that talking about it made me really realize that I'm different from others. My life is so different from anyone in this world!
"But... if you don't mind me asking, um... how... how are you still alive?" Brett says directing the question towards Diego and I look at Diego with expectation too. Even I want to know about it.
Diego doesn't do anything but just keep staring at Brett with an expressionless face.
"It's OKAY! It's totally fine if you don't wanna talk about it." Brett says before gazing somewhere else. Poor Brett, he is intimidated.
"It's something I'll like to tell Alexandra only." Diego finally answers and I pout my lips hearing him.
"So, if you guys would excuse me." He says getting up along with me and he intervenes his fingers with mine. As he starts moving to drag me along with him, I turn my head to look at my back.
"Go and check where is Desmond, Rhett!" I say over my shoulder before Diego turns around the corridor with me behind him.
Diego's pace increases and it gets hard for me to keep up with his pace.
"Diego..." I call out to him but he starts climbing the stairs and I save myself from stumbling. He climbs the stairs and reaches the very floor where I had come. He continues marching and we reach our room. Our room from centuries ago.
Diego enters inside and closes the door leaving my hand. He turns around and I can feel he is angry.
"What is the need to care about him so much!? Can't you see how he hates me near you!?" He asks with a frown settled on his face. I control myself from smiling and move closer to him. I wrap my hands around his neck and get close to his face.
