Chapter 75

Narrator's POV

"Aw come the fuck on! We were minding our own business and now you're taking control over me? Heh! That's fucking funny! What an excuse of a good dad you are!"Shadow yelled whilst driving

Being furious he is, he drove even faster. Pouring his anger on his driving. Which he don't care right now

"Two weeks huh? Two weeks! Before that Rebecca person ever come here I'll make sure you won't even ever see me!"Shadow said

He felt his phone vibrated on his pocket. He picked the phone with his right hand to see who messaged him

Sonic:Shadow? It's veerrryyy late of you to come home. I'm getting worried. You're not even answering my calls. Is something wrong? Did something happened? Please please please... It's going to be 11 o'clock and you're still not home. Shadow please Seen 10:49

He frowned. He felt guilty for letting Sonic wait for him at this hour. He looked at the call history and mentally punched himself

"28 miss calls? Crap. I'm sorry Sonic. Things are about to get worse"Shadoe whispered

Instead of texting back, he called him. He wasn't surprised that it was answered immediately

"Shadow? Oh my god! I thought you weren't going to answer. I can't sleep thinking you're still not home... I... I have something to tell you. I'm sure it'll surprise you... For sure"

"Okay and... sorry Sonic. Sorry to worry you. I'm... I'm on my way home. I'm going to tell you something really important too hehe... "

"Is this... About your father?"

"Well... Yeah. How'd you... Welp, you know me too well anyway. Just a bit surprise. See you later, love"

"S-see you"

With that said, I hung up. After all this time... Being so busy? Because of the contract? Of me marrying. I know something was off from the very beginning. I'm clueless about it. But... Whatever. It's not like I can reverse it or something

Shadow's POV

I sighed and made my way to the couch. Before I could walk upstairs, I saw... Wait. What the? It's luggages. In front of Sonic's door room

I took a deep breath and knocked. Don't tell me Sonic's parents already came home?

I became more anxious as the door opened. I'm expecting to see the face of his mother or father. But it was Sonic himself

"Are... Your parents are here right?"

"Yeah. Their trip was cut short. They didn't expect their job to be finished that quick. But don't worry. They... They know you guys are already in here?"

"Where are the three?"

"On the guest room. They're... They're packing. Tails told me they should really go home. I suppose he's too shy...? Or they are. I told them it's fine. But, they really refused. Are... Are you leaving too?"

"Maybe not. I'll talk to you about something inside"

I took off my shoes and closed the door

"Father knows the kind of relationship we had. And he's not so damn happy with that. But, here's the worse. He..."

I looked at Sonic's eyes. They were filled with curiosity and innocence. I can't... I can't just stand to see him cry. But, I don't want to lie

We... We'll surpass this trial. No matter what happens, we'll be together. That's my promise

"He's planning to... To marry me to someone else. I didn't know. I didn't know all those months, is because of a contract. A contract that I'll marry someone who I don't even met"I looked into the ground

This hurts. I don't want to break his heart. I heard a sigh. Suddenly, I was pull into a warm embrace

"This... This is even too more difficult for us. I... I just don't know what to say. I don't know what to do"

"Don't worry Sonic. I won't let my father take control of me. We'll be together, no matter how the circumstances is"

"What if, what if they disown you? I don't want to be the reason that your family will fall ap-"

"Our family already fall apart long time ago. Only me and Mephiles are the ones who truly care for each other. I don't care if he disown me or what. He don't even know how his son is. Every decision is in my hands. Not his. I promise you that Sonic, even if we have to get away. Go to somewhere else, far away. I'll do that. Just stay with me, please"

Sonic smiled. But, how eyes still wears the sadness I'm expecting to see. I frowned a little

"Anyway, do your father and mother know about us?"

"Yeah. When it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived. Then, I decided to talk about it to them. I don't know what urged me to do it. But... They were happy. I was expecting them to despise me. But, they accepted. They told me whatever happens, they'll support me. Us"He smiled

I smiled. I'm a bit relieved. I don't want to ruin his family. They have a strong bond in each other

"Father told me the girl will arrive in two weeks. I'll make a plan. Right now, you rest. Okay?"I said, kissing his head

"Okay"He smiled
