His Dark Desire: Tales of a Yandere-Chapter 104

104 iv. Broken Curses

“You don’t have to buy them too much. This is far too excessive,” she pouted as she followed them around.

By them, she means Dominus and her family members. They have entered the twentieth store for goodness’ sake.

She has lost all her reasonable expectations for her family members to at least leave her with some dignity. They have been hurling luxury items like it’s all going to be for free.

Of course, it is free on their part, but Dominus has to pay for everything. He has been swiping his black credit card for hours and she wondered why the card has not emptied even now.

Was there at least no limit on the amount they can spend today? No one listened to her as every member of her family tried on new clothes.

“Jus mio, have a bit of shame! Stop it already!” she covered her face. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

He chuckled as he stared at her already frustrated face, “Baby, let them have a bit of fun. It is not like they are doing anything wrong.”

“It is not right asking a stranger to pay for so much for us,” she felt his hold on her tighten a bit more when she said the words.

“I am not a stranger, baby. Do I need to make you realize that again? You seem to be forgetting all the time, honey,” his hot breath made her quiver as he leaned closer to her.

.....

“I am saying it for your sake as well. I already have no dignity left with how they rob you of your money in broad daylight,” she pouted, unaffected by his tone.

“I don’t see anything wrong with that. I’m a part of your family now, your plus one. So it is fine if they behave shamelessly around me,” he pointed out.

“Why are you encouraging them, you baka? Just because you are a multi-billionaire doesn’t mean you can throw your hard-earned money around like they mean nothing at all,” she castigated him.

He chuckled and pulled her close, “There is no waste in this baby. This is me simply buying things for my family.”

She blushed at his answer, sadly she has not prepared a comeback to that. She cozied into his embrace instead, and yawned.

She was shamelessly sitting on his lap, his arms caging her as her family continued to run from one section of the store to the other. Almost as if they were determined to use up all his money in one go.

“Go sleep if you need it,” he said in a rather consoling voice.

“The moment I sleep is the moment they literally hurl everything out of this store. With your endless encouragement don’t tell me I am wrong,” she insisted, nuzzling on his neck.

He chuckled and ignored her protest, he rubbed her shoulder as if trying to make her fall asleep. She smiled at his thoughtfulness.

“You have not picked up even a single item for yourself,” he frowned at that thought.

“I have several dressers in your house and I might not even be able to try even half of the clothes in each of those dressers during my lifetime,” she pointed out.

“Even that is not nearly enough, my queen. You deserve all the best things in life. I’m sure every design in here will fit you just right,” he urged her, finding happiness only in giving her the world. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

“Don’t say that so easily. I can be a gold digger if you keep encouraging me like that,” she muttered as she closed her eyes, loving the circles his thumb makes on her shoulder blades.

“Who is stopping you from being one? You can’t spend all my riches away anyway, and even if that is the case, then I would just have to give you more,” he pressed a kiss on her hair, sniffing her scent.

“You say that so easily. Will you really continue to like a woman after your money?” she teased.

“I will always like you. Whether you like me for my looks, my money, my name... I don’t really care. All I need is for you to like me back,” he insisted, caressing her cheek gently as he does so.

She bit her lower lip, she can’t really say those words. One minute she is an angel like this, and the next moment he was back to being a cruel, dominating asshole.

She pouted. Plus how can she possibly like her abductor? But when he pressed his nose to hers, she giggled.

She has gone so weird as well, why does he cause butterflies to flutter their wings in her stomach just from doing something so simple as that?

“Will you really buy me anything I want in the world?” she pressed a kiss on his cheek.

“Of course sweetheart, anything at all,” he hummed and caressed her cheek.

“Then should you go ask me what I want?” she tried him.

“What are those you want to buy, my queen? Let’s go get them now,” he nudged her.

“I want a laptop and a phone and a wifi for internet access,” she winced at seeing his face go dark.

“What for? What will you need those for? I have already brought your family back to you, queenie,” he grunted, biting gently her lower lip.

“Just forget it,” she closed her eyes, and tried to forget about their conversation just now.

She knew he fears she will use those to run away from him, to ask for help and escape. But she really doesn’t have those intentions.

She has lately been satisfied to stay by his side, no matter how cruel his punishments were at times. She seems to be enjoying staying beside him.

She needed the gadgets to contact him, like maybe call him through his phone for when he needed to be away again to handle some of his affairs. The days without him were just so lonely and sad, that maybe having an access to call him at any time can make it a bit more tolerable.

Plus she has gotten bored just watching television when he is doing some work. She wanted to write again.

She missed reading comments and receiving small token gifts from her readers. It is like having a thorn on her side that she cannot remove unless she writes again.

But how can she tell that to him? He will just misinterpret her wanting to call him during work. Maybe even exaggerate in his thinking and say she is agreeing to be married to him.

Look at all the unspeakable things he has done until now. He has literally committed crimes after crimes. Imagine how much more possessive he will be if she started appearing soft towards him.

As for her work, it will be worse. He will demand to see her works. For sure he will read them. His name, face, and personality were literally her main character’s.

Each reincarnated story will just boost his claim that they are reincarnated lovers. She couldn’t have any of that. Not when she can’t trust how he thinks.

She looked at him, his mood obviously destroyed for the rest of the day as he scowled menacingly at the poor sales ladies trying to offer him things.

She reached out her hand into his face and imitated his usual action when she feels anxious, slowly she rubbed her palm into his cheeks. His eyes lit up, as if he was a hungry child and she had just handed him a donut.

“Do you really need those things?” he asked solemnly, he tried to smile though it just ended as a bit of crinkling on his lips.

“Yes,” she said curtly. She shook her head, “But if it is too much, then you don’t have to buy it for me anymore. I have some savings, I can use that to buy one. I just need your help withdrawing that from my account.”

His face grew dim which made her smile. She knew she had hit his ego or whatever pride he has. He did promise to provide for her in any way.

“You think I don’t want to buy you those things because of the cost,” his voice was sharp, she really made him mad.

She tried not to smile wider and instead caressed his cheek even more, “No, I am saying that for some reason you do refuse to buy me those things with your money.”

He frowned, “Go get them then, if they mean so much to you. I just hope you will not use the same gifts to burden me. Don’t run away from me or hide,” his voice was stern, making her smile.

“I won’t. I promise not to use the gadgets to run away,” she nuzzled more into him, feeling very thankful that it took him less convincing than what she initially had in mind.

He patted her hair and pressed kisses all over her face as she clings to him more. “This means you owe me a boon,” he whispered.

“What is it?” she asked him, blushing.

“I’ll choose some outfits for you later and you will have no choice but to wear them for me when I so want to,” he said as the evil glint on his eyes appeared again.

She blushed and pinched his arm, “What outfits? Just from the way you look at me. I can already guess that they won’t be too innocent.”

He chuckled and kissed her lips, “Not like innocence ever fitted you, my love. Your fire though concealed by your choice of wardrobe does nothing to hide the fire that burns within. You were always meant to wear something more revealing, of course for my eyes only.”

She blushed, “You don’t even care that there are people here who can hear what you are saying.”

“We are getting married soon anyway, so let them think that way if they so wanted. Not like I care over something so trivial. Truth be told, I rather enjoyed it. Letting people know that you are mine,” he smiled at her like they were nothing else but a normal couple within a normal relationship.

And for that moment she let herself believe that they were just a normal couple under normal circumstances, she bridged the gap between them and pressed a tender kiss on his lips.

“Do I deserve a treat tonight my love,” he teased her, his eyes filled with desire.

“Aye, my knight deserved some treats,” she answered, not realizing she just called him as such.

He smiled as he heard the familiar nickname, pressing his forehead against hers. In his heart, he knew a part of her remembers.

A part of her simply cannot forget. No matter what the curse is, she cannot simply just lose every attachment towards him.

For while there maybe hundreds, nay

thousands of reincarnated worlds, there is always just the two of them. Their hearts will always be very much intertwined as much as their souls always will be.

For as it has always been... no curse is strong enough to make a heart forget completely.
