Chapter 79: But Not Anymore
"I'll ask you again, Silver. What are you doing here? Why are you standing in front of our house?"
Silver snapped back to reality when Titania spoke to him. It seemed he had been lost in thought for a while, reminiscing about the past, because Titania was already showing signs of irritation as she addressed him. Maybe she thought he was deliberately ignoring her, even though the truth was he hadn't heard anything she had said.
"I-It's been a while, Titania. How are you?"
Damn it. He actually stuttered when he said that. He was never like this when talking to other people, but now that Titania was in front of him, it was like he'd reverted to his old self.
The innocent and playful Silver who only knew how to love Titania...
"I thought I would never see you again," Titania said in a cold tone as she looked at their house. "Did you come from our house?"
She already knew the truth, but she was just confirming it. She glanced at the car parked in front of their house. Titania knew it was Silver's because he had always liked that particular style when it came to cars. "What do you need from us?" Titania asked once more.
The longer it took, the darker her expression grew, while Silver felt like he was losing his mind because he hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time.
He badly missed her scent, her face, her presence... It was driving him crazy at this point. All the emotions he had tried to bury for decades were slowly resurfacing because of the woman standing in front of him. "Silver?" Her tone had a hint of frustration, but that was all. She couldn't even take a step forward. "What's going on? Am I talking to anyone here?"
He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stared at Titania.
The days he spent with her, the good days and the bad days they shared... they were all precious.
But not anymore.
"I don't need anything from you," Silver said, his tone cold. "I need your daughter," he added, staring at Titania.
His vision darkened when he noticed a few wounds on Titania's arm and neck.
Just when he thought she was living a good life... he realized she had been suffering all along. That's when he felt guilty for what he had done. He moved on. He tried to forget her existence and go with the flow of life. However, Silver couldn't falter again just because of her. Whatever feelings he still had for her, he had to bury them... to save Ash.
"Why? What do you want with my daughter?" Titania's tone became alarmed. "Are you planning to kill her too, like what you intended to do to me before?"
"What if I say yes?" Silver responded without hesitation, his hands in his pockets. "Would that change anything?"
"You bastard!"
She was about to grab his collar, but in one swift motion, he stopped her. Titania fell to the ground. He clenched his fist tightly not to help her.
"That's what blind love does, Titania," Silver said, shaking his head before looking at her. "It makes you foolish and stupid. I won't let Ash experience the same. Tell your daughter to stay away from my son, or you won't like what I'll do." She became a loser. This wasn't what he was expecting when they met again.
To be honest, Silver didn't really care if Ash loved someone without his consent. He had no intention of forcing his son into a fixed marriage. He knew how hard that would be, and he didn't want Ash to experience it.
But not with Sapphire. He could love anyone but her.

"That's what happens to someone who's been deprived of love," Titania replied, looking him up and down as she stood up. "Sure, let's say you're rich and have everything, but you're not happy. There's no happiness in your world." "Same as you," Silver stated. "You've changed a lot. You used to know how to fight back, but now you let Randall beat you up."
Thinking of Randall made him wince. He regretted not beating him up more. His plan was to get some fresh air because he was getting annoyed with Ash, but he didn't expect to run into Titania outside.
"Why won't you tell me where your daughter is? I'm not going to kill her right away. I will negotiate with her." He might look like he was lying, but he was telling the truth. "As far as I can see, she also has the skills... and the right attitude. She can be a great asset to the mafia once trained properly."
That's one of the ways he can protect his son and Titania's daughter, but of course, Sapphire would need to agree to his plan. If she sided with Simon, he would have no choice but to kill her. Everyone who sides with that fucker will automatically be his enemy.
"I don't know where she is," Titania answered without hesitation. "And even if I did, I would never tell you."
At first, Titania was going to be angry because it was late and Sapphire hadn't come home yet, but now she was thankful.
"Sure, then. It doesn't matter to me if you don't want to tell me. Ash probably hid her somewhere, by the way."
Silver straightened his posture and adjusted his hair a bit.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"If you won't tell me where she is..."
He quickly walked towards Titania, making it impossible for her to back away.
"I'll make her show up very soon. I'll make sure she comes to me. She'll beg me for her life, and you know I'll fulfill every word I say, Titania."

Silver distanced himself from Titania because he was suddenly affected by her scent. She still had this intoxicating scent.
If he stayed longer, he might lose control, and he knew he shouldn't waste his time here.
"Remember every word I said. I meant it all," he said before leaving.
Meanwhile, Ash watched as Titania suddenly sat on the floor when she noticed the car, with his father inside, starting to move. He had been listening to their conversation, and that was when he learned that the two had a past. Instead of being hurt, Ash remained alert because of what he had heard. No one can take Sapphire away from him, especially now that they are going to have a child. He didn't care who tried to hinder their relationship. He'd choose her over and over again.
"Let me help you," Ash said as he approached Titania.
He extended his hand to her, but Titania just looked at it as if what Ash was offering was a joke.
"Maybe you fooled my son with your tricks, but not me. I know how the Colemans operate. You only think of yourselves."
"I love your daughter," Ash said, his tone firm.
Titania chuckled like crazy. She felt that was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.
"Get out of here and don't ever show yourself to my daughter again!" But she immediately raised her voice again, and the smile on her lips disappeared. "Leave now and don't show yourself to me, and bring Sapphire back here tomorrow. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
