Wicked Kiss

This is the last Chapter of Wicked Kiss. Savour the moment and don't miss a word. --Kerrihara Vexania

Everyone was busy especially the Grayfaurd maids for the preparation of the wide hall.

We were actually at Grayfaurd's mansion, because Miss Launxi or should I say, mama wanted the reception of our baby's christening will be held here.

"Yaya, I want you to tell those other maids out there to perfectly sanitize the chandelier above the dining table. I don't want any dirt being exposed, " She was instructing the maids to clean everything.

Miss Launxi Grayfaurd was already on his fifties, but she doesn't look older than thirty. She may have a little wrinkle, but overall, she's perfectly beautiful, she's Grayfaurd after all.

She's wearing a robe while doing instructing, I've seen Athrina doing the same thing too.

"Erza, you need a beauty rest to the upcoming ceremony, get rest and take care of my granddaughter, "Miss Launxi said and pointed out the room. I glanced at baby Hunk who's running around and falling on the marble, making his grandma worried.

"Apo!" she said and went to her grandson.

I am worried too but since his Tita Athrina and Granma is there to help him, I am confident he'll be fine.

She's been preparing since last morning, "It's my first granddaughter, Erza. It is very unacceptable if her grandma won't throw a party for her, it would be a shame to all the Grayfaurds," said she.

I can't help to hide my happiness from that statement. Grayfaurds were filthy rich, and base on Athrina's stories, it's been her family's tradition to make every party grand.

"Don't be shocked, sis. You should get used to it since Exxel is her eldest granddaughter, "I heard Athrina's voice echoed near my ears.

I only sighed; I don't like parties. But this party is not for me, it's for my baby.

I pouted and just watched Miss Launxi trying to console his grandson. My baby looked bored, her grandma was talking to him for some time now but he don't seem to care about it.

When Miss Launxi caught me, she instructed me again to went upstairs.

I just nodded and I am widely smiling while getting on the top.

When I reached the room, I saw Astrair laying on his back on the bed while our baby girl on his chest

Astrair was tightly hugging our baby princess in his chest. Scared that she may fall.

I went to them and kissed our baby girl. Astrair slowly opened his eyes then.

"Hi, " Astrair whispered in his bedroom voice. It was husky and it sends millions of electricity all over my body.

I really love his voice, I am really, really in love with his voice. His voice can give some sensation in me that I can't even explain, the more if his attention was all on me. The more that he's offering his everything to me. "Hi, "I greeted him.

He slowly sat on the bed and made baby exxel lie on the bed and went to me.

"You need to rest," he whispered removing the strands of hairs on my face.

"That's why I'm here, "I said and snaked my arms around his neck.

But then he pulled me closer, making me sat on his lap. He sniffed my neck and gently plot some kisses.

"Hmm, my wife smells good," he said in a very husky voice.

I chuckled then slightly bit his earlobes.

"Of course," I teased that made him groan and slightly bit the left side of my neck.

"I love you," he whispered looking at the side of my cheek since I am sitting sideview of him.

"How's the preparations?" he asked giving soft kisses on my jaws.

"Your mom is busy to that, "I said and looked at him, he is looking adorable so I leaned to kiss him.

When our lips parted, he pouted, he did not seem to get satisfied so he kissed me again.

I end up biting my lower lip because of the sensation I was feeling. My eyes are weary, I feel sleepy all of the sudden. His kisses are just too comforting.

"When did you realized that you love me?" I asked out of nowhere.

He was shocked from my question, he started kissing my neck instead and slightly bite it.

"Astrair!" I said firmly making him stop.

"The first time I laid my fucking eyes on you," he said, he even blushed.

I smiled, well even in small thing, Astrair could be cheesy.

"Really? Ppfftt.. "I said and this time he pulled me properly sit on his lap.

"Don't fucking laugh at me when I'm serious," he said seriously while his attention was all on me.

"Can't help, "I said and kiss him, that was one long kiss that made a sound.

Lexus Astrair Grayfaurd is my husband, he is my fucking husband. I can't believe it. If God planned it all, I was so thankful because He gave me the man I love for so long.

***

We are already on church while all the visitors were gathered as one too, there are lots of photographers hired by Miss Launxi.

Napoleon, his son and mama were here too. The visitors aren't that much since this ceremony is private.

"Sis, can we talk for a while? " Athrina whispered in her sad voice.

I'm a bit shock because I never really heard her sound like this. It's rare.

I nodded to her and gave baby Exxel to his dad. She seems to have a problem I should attend.

"Why?" I asked.

She didn't move for a while, she's just silent. She slightly bit her lower lip like she's having second thoughts.

"Are you okay, Athrina?" I asked, she only nodded.

"I think you've heard about the enactment in China before about the One Child Policy, am I right?" She started as we begin walking off to the church, there's still an hour before the ceremony starts.

I creased my forehead. What does that policy connect to her sadness?

"Yes, why do you ask?" I said looking on her face properly. Looking at her expressions.

"Funny it is, but you, being part of our family should know everything you need to know," she said then laughed fake.

I am even more confused about what she's saying now. Why? Is there something else I have to know about their family?

"In the last will and testament of our grandpa, it states that Grayfaurd's shall follow the Three Child Policy in order to continue the reign of our family as on top. Grandpa foretold that he won't let his grandchildren have his wealth if someone disobey his policy. " Athrina said, her voice break for some reason.

"The reason why you are three?" I asked confusedly.

Why does this thing seemed to be a big deal for Athrina.

She nodded but shook her head at the same time. Now I'm real confused.

"Because of that fucking policy, someone endure the pain because of me! " Athrina said that now with a crying voice.

What does this mean, Athrina?

"What do you mean, Athrina? " I said trying to understand.

"I was the youngest, and I was the daughter. Someone shall suffer because I was born in this world. I hate the fact that people were after my money! Can't they understand the real essence of family? I don't care about my grandfather's wealth, Lacxous should've not suffered," She said that made me fucking crazy thinking.

What is she even saying? I don't understand, everything is very weird.

"I don't understand you, Athrina, " I asked. I'm very confused.

Athrina just smiled at me then told me something that made confused even more. But that information made the beating of my heart faster than normal. w-what's the meaning of this?

We are in front of the priest, but my thoughts were on what Athrina said.

"Because of that fucking policy, someone endure the pain because of me!"

I couldn't understand this!

"We were actually four ate, we were actually four."

That's the last thing we ever talk about because Alstreim butt in for the ceremony. And yes, Alstreim is here.

"We were actually four ate, we were actually four."

If they are 4, who's the other one? Astrair didn't told me anything.

I wanted to ask Athrina, but she seemed so emotional. She went to Alstreim after.

"Erza, are you alright? " Astrair asked after seeing how silent I am since the moment we arrived.

Since morning till here, it's still bothering me.

"L-love," I called him.

He turned to me, but I hesitated. I was about to ask him but my sight darted to Athrina, hugging Alstreim while crying.

I am now even more confused, what is the problem here?

When Sir Al's eyes and mine met, I gasp. He is consoling his sister while looking at me.

My heart pound faster, that soft eyes looked so familiar to me. It's like it's really hurting him while looking at me.

My chest tightened. I always see Sir Al but this is the first time I ever saw him looked like this- I mean I saw him like this, but earlier when we saw each other was different. Why does it looked like something's happening in this place?

"Erza, why don't you open the gifts?" Said Miss Launxi.

I nodded but I can't get it off my mind.

Do I know that person?

But it's just impossible!

I went to the gifts to open some for baby exxel, it'll make the visitors happy.

While organizing it, my eye widens and my heart began pounding upon seeing the papers of Lacxous G.

My heart tightened, especially while looking at the man walking towards me in his formal stand and cold eyes.

"Be happy." Sir Al said coldly.

I don't know but it seems like my tears were in race towards coming out from the outburst of realizations.

I clenched my fist hard while the other is gripping the letter tightly.

"W-who are you?" That's the only thing that came out of my mouth. My heart is very tight to the point that I almost can't breathe. It's embarrassing to make a scene, there are people.

His eyes have no emotion, while the man I was looking earlier have countless of it. Mixed! I can also feel the pain from those!

"Answer me! " I said firmly, making sure we can only hear it.

He didn't answer. He just turned around and walked away.

I can't stop the tears coming out of my eyes.

Why is it that I am so stupid? Why didn't I make the comparison? Of them both. And base on Athrina, I now fully understood.

Lacxous G is sweet. Lacxous G is calm, Lacxous G is different, Lacxous G is absolutely not Alstriem Grayfaurd. Lacxous G is not him.

When he's out, I looked at the letter. My world crumbled upon reading. Why am I so stupid? I didn't even realize it sooner; I didn't realize it!

Now that I already inflicted so much pain on him. Now that I already caused him more pain.

Sweetie,

I had already accepted the fact that you can't be mine at all. I keep telling myself to be happy because the love of my life is happily living with my brother. I am trying to understand that it is my fault why you can't love me back because I am a coward. I will still love you, Erza. I'll make this as a lesson to pursue my goals and dreams in life. And I will try my best to move on and get over you.

Be happy, my love, be happy.

Welcome to the family.

Always yours,

Lacxous Eilstreim Grayfaurd.
