My Emotionless Goddess

” Did something good happen?” Justin could only ask. He would never get used to a sweet miranda. It was until yesterday he saw how skilled his baby was. Be it in combat skills or shooting, he could swear that her precision was better than his. He was rumoured to be the best shooter but that was until he saw Miranda in action. She was talented in almost everything and that included driving him crazy with desire, just like what she was doing now. The worse thing was that even she did not know she had an effect on him . She was ever clueless.

” Nothing serious, just that I came to know that I am not the real daughter of the Lambert family.” she said casually like she was reporting the number of absentees in a meeting. ” what? you are not from the lambert family?” Justin asked with disbelief laced in his voice. What was this? a soap opera or what. Was it the scene where the female lead discovers that she was adopted and angrily leaves the house feeling cheated? Maybe it was. He did not ever imagine such a drama happening in his life. But who would have thought the same absurd plot would unravel in his life within twenty four hours.

” Mmm.” Her casual reply baffled him. He would never get used to someone taking such serious matters so nonchalantly like it’s nothing. ” How do you feel baby, be honest with me?” Justin still worried that she would keep everything bottled up together and lick her wounds while alone in a corner. After All, that was a big revelation ànd any normal human will definitely be sad or better yet angry and feel betrayed. What he didn’t seem to understand was that Miranda was far from a normal person. She was never normal.

” Nothing, whether I am Lambert or not, changes nothing. Am I still me.” Her answer was straightforward and it rendered Justin speechless. Okay, now he wouldn’t ask anymore because it seems like only he treated that as a big deal. The victim was not showing signs of dissatisfaction or discomfort with the news anyways.

A call interrupted the peaceful moment of the two couples hugging each other by the kitchen. Miranda fished her phone and immediately answered the call.

” Boss, target locked.” Came the report.

” Okay, you know what to do. Clean work, don’t leave any evidence behind.” Came her strict orders. At that moment, Justin looked at Miranda and found her even more alluring. Standing two steps away from her, she was emitting the Aura of a powerful ruler. A king who wouldn’t tolerate any bullshit from his subordinates. A king who would do anything to keep his kingdom safe. It was a pity she wasn’t born in the royal family. She would make a better King than him. Justin always dreaded the day he’ll have to take the crown. That was something he would exchange anything in this world to avoid. All his life, he only wanted to be a good husband and father. He was least concerned with state affairs.

Justin could still remember how Ronald helped him sneak away from royal classes. He would rather go hunting with Ronald than sit down for hours reading those complicated and boring files. He only wished to stay free like an eagle and fly to all parts of the world without worrying about anything else. But alas! He was a caged bird or was he not? His father was strict with him but not always. Sometimes he would give in to Justin’s absurd requests. For example, he agreed to Justin’s request of joining the entertainment industry and pursuing his career despite being the future king. He was expected to be learning different tactics on how to handle national matters but here he was, busy modelling and acting. Sometimes, he feels like a failure, like he has failed his father, he has failed the people of this country but what to do? He was not One to get interested in politics. He termed them as a den of hungry wolves. It was here that One did not care about familial or blood relations. He had seen people killing each other and doing other unforgivable things just to be in power. To him power was akin to a devil channel of recruiting More demons to his army. He would never want to be involved in such filthy business but he also knew he had no choice. As the crown prince, Sooner or later, he would have to do it. For the people, his wishes were the least considered.

Justin was glad that Miranda came to his life. She brought out the best in him. He had a nagging desire to protect her and to do that he was willing to do anything, including taking up the position of the king. He would never let anything happen to his beloved. But he also knew that Miranda actually didn’t need his help. She was more than qualified to protect herself but still as a man, he had to protect his woman. She brought forth his protective instincts.

Miranda had already finished her call and turned to go back to Justin’s arms. That had become one of her favourite places to be. But she halted in her steps, that is because he had his gaze fixed on her but was not exactly looking at her. He had a far away look and seemed to be contemplating on something. He appeared to be troubled. Looking at him, she pitied him. He was raised in the royal family for years learning about things that did not belong to his world. From what she saw, Justin was very much attached to the King. What will happen when he learns that he isn’t who he believed he was. Actually, the reason she decided to mention about not being a daughter of the Lambert family was to test his reactions. He did not disappoint her and gauging from his earlier reaction, he would definitely be hit hard after knowing that he wasn’t the king’s son.

” What are you thinking about?” Walking to him, she inquired. ” I was wondering how it would feel to have just you and me, in a far away country, away from everything. Just the two of us and our children.” He honestly said his thoughts. He thought that that kind of life will be beautiful and fulfilling. Miranda who was now caged in his arms tilted her head to look up to him.

” Are you saying this because you will soon be crowned as the next King? Justin, relax okay, leave everything to me, I Will never let you do what you ain’t comfortable with. I want you to live your life to the fullest, leave all your worries to me.” Miranda said lovingly. Her Man has suffered alot bearing a Cross that doesn’t belong to him. He was never allowed to live like any normal child all thanks to her. While he led his life like a caged bird, she was free like a phoenix and her heart bled thinking about this Injustice. ‘ As long as I live, I will not allow you to bear other people’s crosses even if that person is me. I will ensure you enjoy your freedom.’ Miranda made a promise to herself.

” If you do that, what will that make me? I will become the wife and you the husband who protects the family?” Justin joked. ” People will start belittling me.” He added playfully but those words enraged Miranda.

” Who dares say that about you? Husband or not, you are my beloved and I will not let anyone slander you irrespective of who they are.” All of a sudden, her aura darkened and she was surrounded by a chilling air.

” Aww, my baby is so overprotective.” He wasn’t scared of her transformation, she was his woman and irrespective of who or what she was, he will always love and cherish her. Miranda did not understand what he meant so she blinked her eyes innocently. Justin’s heart was filled with warmth, his poor heart could not handle her oozing cuteness. One moment she was a tigress, the next she transformed to a harmless little kitten. He was falling in love over and over again.

At that pure moment of bliss, Miranda’s stomach chose to protest by gurgling loudly. She lowered her head to look at it and blushed profusely. How embarrassing! ” Someone said a while ago that he wasn’t hungry for food but what is it that I am hearing? While her embarrassment was kicking in violently, Justin chose to tease her, making Miranda clear her throat awkwardly. ” Okay, go and get settled, I’ll finish this in a minute.” Justin said. With the level of hunger of his baby, he had to give away the idea of preparing a sumptuous meal for her and make do with the already prepared dishes. In a matter of minutes the food was ready and served. Miranda did not waste time before digging in. She was so hungry she could finish a bull. gBelongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
