《Loveless Marriage》Chapter 12

I am doomed, right?
His palm enveloped my hand, still resting it against his cheek. " I am sorry, I should have touched you. I will never touch you again, I promise " I spoke hurriedly. He let out a small sigh and opened his gorgeously sculpted eyes. " Don't make promises you can't keep."
I blinked at him for a while, remembering that my palm is still against his cheek. I was thinking about removing when he gripped it harder against his cheek. " Why would you think that I would not be able to keep a promise?" I asked, uncertainty filling my mind.
" Because I know that you will not be able to not touch me," He replied, displaying his flirtatious smirk. I rolled my eyes at him before replying," I will be able to not touch you," I wanted to feel victorious for once. " Oh really, then why has your palm not left my cheek?" He asked, his smirk turning into a grin.
A gorgeous grin, I must say. Wait, what am I thinking?
I realised that my palm was free from his hold and immediately pulled it toward my chest. A chuckle vibrated deep from his chest, lightening the mood. " Don't laugh!" I snapped, not wanted to be laughed at. He continued to chuckle as my beautiful, dreamlike morning was turning sour. I huffed, and wanted to get away from him. I was about to get up, when his arms wound even tighter pulling me closer to him.
"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice quivering a bit. " I know that I won't be able to not touch you," He answered, closing his eyes. " Let go! We have work!" I pushed against his chest, in vain. " What do you think about fulfilling Mom's wish?" He asked, out of the blue.

Huh? What is he talking about?
My brows furrowed together in confusion. " What are you talking about?" I questioned, stopping myself from moving away from him. He opened his eyes and gazed deeply into mine. " Mom is wanting a grandchild. We should give her one, don't you think?" He asked, drawing circles on my back.
I froze visibly, shocking him. My dream, memories, rushed back to brain. It started to terrorize me to the point where I started to shiver uncontrollably. " Hannah? Hannah?! What's wrong? Ha-" He stopped as he held my palms. " Hannah, you're hands are cold. What's wrong? Talk to me," He pleaded.
I am frozen, like an ice cube. I can not move unless I let the horrible memories rush over me. I can not let that happen, I can never let that happen because if I did I would not be able to go to work today. But if I didn't let it wash over me, I will not be able to move at all.
A tear slipped from my eye as another memory washed over me.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
