Chapter 233


    233 What is Love?


    At the Ind…


    It was midday, yet Damien could be seen passing around the sitting room in his brown pajamas. His


    face was gloomy and coupled with the dark circles underneath his eyes, one would know that he hasn’t


    had a good night’s rest for days.


    A guard walked in and bowed: “Master, we couldn’t find her.”


    “Kill yourself.” He uttered without a little bit ofpassion. 1


    The guard hesitated, then slowly raised his head to look at his face. He wasn’t surprised that his master


    for Ten years would suddenly ask him of this. However, what he couldn’t believe was, Everyone has


    deserted Damien after he fell in love. This guard was the only one who was willing to stay by his side,


    yet because he couldn’t find that witch, he was asked to die. So typical of Damien. “Haha…” the guard


    suddenlyughed mockingly at himself. “What made me think you’ll ever change? I’ve been by your


    side for TEN solid years. Even when everyone betrayed you, I stayed!


    When a better boat was sailing past me and the captain invited me toe over a million times, I


    adamantly refused and wanted to be with you. You saw my loyalty, you experienced my kindness even


    though there was nothing like kindness in your world.


    I was ready to die with you and in the end, you didn’t even kill me for something tangible, but you’re


    ordering my death for a worthless girl who doesn’t even love you!!”


    “Shut up!…just do it!” Damien yelled.


    “Why?” He scoffed. “Why should I obey you and point a gun at my own head when I can walk out of


    here with you lying in your pool of blood?” The guard pulled out his gun and pointed it at Damien. “You


    can’t leave here if you kill me. You’ll die too.” Damien snorted and walked towards the wine shelf.


    “Yeah, right. But it would be nice to die with you.” The guard said as he followed Damian’s movement


    with his gun.


    “Fine. Go ahead, shoot me.” He said nonchntly without turning back. He took a bottle of wine,


    uncapped it, and started to pour the red liquid into a tumbler while waiting for the pain of a bullet to his


    skull as he lost himself in the events that happened some days ago,


    Some days ago, Kimberly had started to reciprocate the way he wanted her to, however, he seemed to


    always do things that angered her. Nothing he did pleased her. She was always nagging and


    comining. When he sleeps with her, she would end up curling herself up and bleeding profusely.


    What was he supposed to do? Not to sleep with her anymore? Nah, that can’t be possible. She’s good


    for his body.


    He makes sure she gets everything ady wants. He even gives her sisters food and clothes without


    them doing anything for him in return. So why would she ask him to take them away from the Ind?


    Does that not mean she wants to leave him? He can’t live outside the ind for now because Maverick


    would definitely kill him. His only safe ce is this Ind.


    When he asked her why she wanted to leave the ind so desperately, she said one of her sisters


    needed treatment or something, so he killed her to relieve Kimberly of her burden. Did he do something


    wrong?


    Why doesn’t she understand that he didn’t intend to kill her other sister but that annoying girl cursed


    him and wished him dead? Who wouldn’t kill such a foul–mouthed person? He loves his life and his


    wealth more than anything, yet that girl had to say such words. Wasn’t she supposed to die? Was that


    why Kimberly ran away?Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    He shook his head. That can’t be the reason. Who would like someone so much as to leave luxury and


    a good life because of them?


    He turned around and headed to the couch. “Randy, you talked about love a while ago, what is Love?”


    He asked as he sat on the couch.


    The guard froze when he heard that question. He blinked a few times and shook his head like he was


    imagining things. That question certainly didn’te from Damien. He thought.


    “If you can’t even give me an answer to that, what are you doing alive? Just pull the trigger at your


    head.” He snorted and took the Tumbler to his lips.


    “Love,” the guard sighed and lowered his gun. “Love is selfless…”


    “Then I love myself… go on.” ”


    The guard looked at him speechlessly for a while before he continued. “Love is caring about what


    makes others/ that person happy and protecting it.”


    “It’s getting interesting.”


    “Love is trying not to deliberately make that person heartbroken but when it unintentionally happens,


    you also feel their pain and try as much as you can to heal together.”


    “Then that’s stupid.” 1


    “Love is putting their happiness above yours.”


    “Who said that?” 1


    “Love is not blind to errors but tries to correct them…”


    “Exin.”


    “When you love someone, you want the best for them. You want them to be the better version of


    themselves and what they’ll grow to be proud of, so for that, you call them to correction in whatever


    way you can… love is showingpassion and showing them mercy… I think. This is just a little I was


    privileged to learn.


    Damien stayed silent for a while and his mind shed back to what Kimberly’s sister said that made


    him kill her.


    [ “You can’t change, you asshole! Nobody will love you if you can’t feelpassion. You won’t find that


    happiness you are looking for if you don’t learn to give it. Everything is reciprocal. You get what you


    dish out. You don’t expect to eat what you didn’t sow, you beast! You’ll die a miserable death if you


    don’t change!” ]


    “Oh, so this is what she meant? Does that mean Kim’s sister loved me instead of Kimberly?”


    “Huh?”


    “What? Didn’t you just say love is wanting the best for the other person?”
