The Bored Immortal

However, just as she was groggily opening her eyes, her eyes widened when she saw a brilliant small white light heading towards her.

A brilliant white radiance shone throughout the room before dimming away within a few moments.

However, inside the room, Umilia fell unconscious on the bed, and only after a minute she slowly got up. And as she opened her eyes, her beautiful light green eyes carried a more mature and serene charm.

But gradual changes were taking place in her physical appearance, especially how her skin was glowing with radiance while becoming smoother without any trace of the slightest wrinkles that had accompanied her age before.

Her features became more sharp and lovely as a soul-melting charm was oozing out of her voluptuous hourglass body, especially since her big breasts became even firmer yet soft at the same time.

Within just moments, it was as if she aged backward and became even more beautiful than in her prime. Her light olive skin now had a pure glowing charm, making her seem like an ethereal goddess basking in the moonlight while her slender body looked more supple and soft.

She slowly got up from the bed and looked at her hands, "So...I had a different life...Aros...Viktor...I fell in love with the same man twice…I should thank my fate for getting a second chance...Aros...no...Viktor, this time I won\'t leave you..." Umilia mumbled with a smile that looked more radiant than the moon.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Viktor was getting increasingly worried since he could only helplessly watch Sae\'s soul crystal slip away from his hand and had no idea if he had lost it forever.

However, Nyissa said in a reassuring tone, "Don\'t get worried. According to what I know, a soul crystal acts on its own, it means the necessary conditions had been fulfilled, and it had found the perfect body to enter. This could mean that you might be seeing her soon."

Viktor finally took a deep breath, hearing her words, and couldn\'t help but be happy since this could mean that he could get reunited with Sae soon.

"Umi…" Viktor mumbled, forming a speculation in his mind and hoping that he was not wrong though he had no idea how all this made sense.

"Who is Umi?" Nyissa asked since she clearly heard his mumble.

"Just someone I know," Viktor answered in an evasive tone as he tried to reach out for his mobile only to realize that it got destroyed in the Naraka Bridge.

"Shit...I lost my phone!" Viktor couldn\'t help but inwardly cry since all those sexy pics of Umilia got lost forever. Only he knew how much care and focus he had to exert to take those pics.

Sometimes true art can\'t be replicated, and he knew this best.

"Just buy another one. Why look so worried?" Nyissa couldn\'t understand why a being like Viktor would get so worked up over a phone.

Viktor chuckled while lamenting inwardly, "You are right. Let\'s go. I have to find Brad. I hope he\'s alright like you said."

"Wait. You don\'t have to. All those tourists and your so-called grandfather Puto who got petrified before, are now unconscious and under our care. They are all perfectly alright and will wake up soon. Apparently, we are trying our best to not let the media catch wind of this. Sigh...it seems like we have a lot of work to do," Nyissa said in an exasperated tone.

Viktor let out a sigh of relief, "Good. Then let\'s go, wifey. Take me to your place," Viktor said with a casual smile, though Nyissa\'s eyes twitched as she asked, "Wifey? Excuse me?"

Viktor shrugged as he came closer, making her unconsciously take a step back, "You forget things so easily? Don\'t you remember your grandfather\'s last wish for us to get married? Or are you going to be an unfilial granddaughter?"

Her face reddened, "You! O-Of course...I didn\'t forget it…" Nyissa couldn\'t believe how shamelessly Viktor could use her grandfather to corner her like this.

"But do you really want to marry me? In my case, I have a duty to fulfill towards my grandfather and clan. As for you...I don\'t want you to marry me just because my grandfather said so. You have the right to refuse. I don\'t want you to feel forced or obliged to do anything, especially a matter like this," Nyissa didn\'t know why but it was as if she wanted to see if Viktor was being sincere about this.

Viktor slightly smiled and asked, "Do you think I want to marry you because of your grandfather? The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were a special woman...someone who could enchant every inch of my soul. Besides, without you, I may have gotten forever stuck in that hell. You chose to stay with me and fight at the risk of your own life...but why? I thought you hated my guts, especially because of my past."

Nyissa\'s expression flickered as she looked away and said, "I only did that since I didn\'t want any bad karma between us. I misunderstood you and tried to hurt you. So it was only right that I right my wrongs by taking responsibility."

"Responsibility, huh?" Viktor mumbled as he thought, \'Why do you women always use this word to hide the truth?\'

Viktor remembered Tara, whom he saw in that memory-like dream, and it was quite obvious that she had feelings for the boy named Azu but didn\'t dare to show it.

He felt complicated thinking about her since he couldn\'t help but feel that she was someone very important to him and was 99% sure that the boy named Azu was none other than his past self.

However, right now, he decided to think about it later as he stood behind Nyissa and softly asked, "Is that it? You only wanted to take responsibility and nothing else? This marriage...do you really want to marry me just because of your duty and not because you feel anything for me? Would you really marry anyone if your duty or family asks for it?"

Viktor wanted to see if Nyissa would have agreed had it been another man in his place.

He wanted to know if this woman was someone who put her heart, including herself, below her duties and rules.

Nyissa felt her heart suddenly picking up pace and didn\'t know why she was feeling so nervous from his questions. Never before had she lost her composure like this and tried her best to meditate and regain her calm.

But how could the sudden and rapid increase in her heartbeat go unnoticed by Viktor, who was in his vampire form. He smiled, feeling happy that he didn\'t get her wrong.

If Nyissa still didn\'t show any change internally or externally after hearing his questions, Viktor would have been disappointed since it would mean Nyissa never valued herself, and he doubted he could love a woman like that.

He gently let his hand slide across her arm, who tried to shake him off. But his hand seemed glued to her skin and didn\'t show any signs of letting go. Viktor knew he couldn\'t force out true feelings from a woman like her and so decided to take the initiative.

He held her hand as he whispered beside her ear, "Nyissa...I haven\'t known you enough to know everything about you, your life, your problems, your likes and dislikes. But the only thing I know is...I want you to be my woman...forever…"

Nyissa\'s heart stopped beating for a split second, hearing his words, making her feel flutters in her belly.

She didn\'t even notice Viktor softly holding her chin and turning her head towards him. Before she knew it, her lips were pressing against his warm, soft yet firm lips, making her eyes widen as her entire body froze, "Mm!"
