When Our Souls Intertwined
Prologue
He never expected to fall in love with one of his patients. But when he met Her, something inside him changed.
Unfortunately, when his Parents learned of his relationship, they were outraged.
They refused to accept their son being with someone they deemed unstable and unworthy, And so he was married to a woman his parents approved, crushing her fragile heart in the process. She felt as though she had lost everything and tragically ended her own life.
Consumed by guilt and heartache, He couldn't bear the thought of living in a world without her. In a desperate attempt to right the wrongs and undo the damage, he found himself wishing he could turn back time and make things right. To his surprise, his wish was granted, but not in the way he expected.
Staring at the empty room that was once full of warmth and love. Regrets start to build up inside this heartless person.
The heart felt nothing but pain as it bleeds.
His figure trembled. The once so serene face envied by many was now unrecognizable, the empty eyes that once shined with warmth, providing heaven and peace were now crying in rivers of tears.
He sank to his knees, smashing the bottle of alcohol in the process.
If only he was selfish just this once.
Not far from the city, a person stood on a nearby bench. He smiled mysteriously and looked at the bright full moon.
Unknown
Unfortunately, There is no medicine for regret...
CHAPTER 1
His footsteps echoed through the cold hallway.
Holding a pen and paper in his hands, he checked his watch unhurriedly.
(Past) Hades
My shift ends in an hour
He whispered to himself while passing each door and hearing the same screams and creepy laughs of each patient.
On his way to room 101, he took a deep breath and despite his best efforts in putting the brightest smile, his eyes twitched.
Hades loved his job wholeheartedly, He loved helping a lot of people find and heal themselves, Discover who they really are, and help them to trust in life once again.
But sometimes this job was draining every social energy away from him.
He finally gained the courage and opened the white metal door, Expecting the patient to scream, cry, or even hurt him like the others, but he was met with silence.
He looked around the white room. The walls, floors, and roof were covered in foam. There was a bed in the corner with nothing but one pillow, and a plastic chair beside it, the lights in the room were dim and the only thing that was in the bed was a plate of untouched food.
Then finally his eyes fell on her.
She was sitting in another corner staring into space. She didn't even blink when he opened the door
Curiosity got the better of him, so he built his courage and walked slowly towards her.
His footsteps made the girl flinch and finally the girl was fished out of her daze.
(Past) Hades
Hello ms, I noticed you haven't eaten your lunch yet, do you want me to get someone to reheat this up for you?
The girl met his eyes, And for a second he trembled
Gasping for air, Soreen awoke from her dreams in cold sweat.
She looked up the glass windows and was met with a beaming light of sunshine pouring into her room
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
Argh my head hurts
She covered her eyes from the beaming sun and rubbed her head to ease the headeche
Celeste
Everything alright Ms Eclair?
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
Perfectly fine Celeste, thank you for asking
Celeste nodded and stood up from her seat.
Celeste
I'll prepare the bath in the washroom
Celeste went inside another room, Leaving Soreen to think her thoughts in a daze.
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
These dreams are getting too real these days...
CHAPTER 2
Soreen sat at her favorite garden overlooking a beautiful lake. She sighs in an attempt to shake off her boredom but failed miserably.
Celeste
Please mind your posture Ms.Eclair
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
Relax Celeste, No one is even allowed to enter this garden except me and you
Celeste
Yes, Me, you, and the Duke Eclair.
Celeste mumbled and unexpectedly bowed, greeting the person behind Soreen
Soreen flinched and quickly fixed her posture in an attempt to avoid another lecture towards her father.
She took deep breaths and turned her body behind to face a handsome yet Stoic middle age man
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
This Daughter greets the Duke Father
She bowed politely and waited for his response
Duke Vincent Eclair
You may rise Irene
She rose slowly and tucked her hands behind her back.
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
What brings Father here on such a busy evening?
Duke Vincent Eclair
I hope you didn't forget what day it is today Irene
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
What do you mean Father?
The duke sighs, As he expected.
He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to her.
The letter was bright red with a golden seal in the middle.
Duke Vincent Eclair
It's the Emperor's Birthday today, and tonight we are all invited to attend the ceremony at the palace
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
How come I didn't know this?
She looked at Celeste in confusion.
Celeste bowed down and took out a similar looking letter to show her
Celeste
I've already told this matter to Ms.Eclair last week, I thought you heard what I said, but i guess the Ms. Was too busy dancing
Soreen blushed in her stupidity. She took a peek at her father and bowed.
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
Since it's tonight, I'll head back to my room to freshen up Father
The Duke only nodded and watched his little girl run inside, with Celeste silently trailing behind her.
That made him smile secretly.
In the tallest building of the Estate, A room cluttered with scattered clothes and shoes appeared in front of the head maid's eyes.
Head Maid Yannah
Goodness! What happened here?
She knocked on the main bedroom door with a box clutched in her left hand.
The head maid waited until she heard the person inside confirm her visits.
Upon entering, She almost fainted in despair seeing the expensive fabrics of silk laying in the marbled floor.
Head Maid Yannah
Celeste! Did a thief break in?
Before the young maid could answer, Soreen emerged in the pile of clothes above her bed.
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
It's my bad Yannah
Head Maid Yannah
Ms.Eclair should really watch her posture, The Duke wouldn't be happy seeing you act in such a caveman manner
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
You sound exactly like Celeste these days
Head Maid Yannah
That's besides the point! Anyway...
The head maid carefully walked her way towards the rope beside her bed and pulled it downwards, creating a sound that alerted the maids outside.
The bedroom door burst opened, and a dozen maids appeared in an orderly manner
Head Maid Yannah
Sort out these clothes by color, and polish the shoes till it's shining like gold.
All the maids stimulatedly nodded and started cleaning the room carefully.
Leaving a satisfied Celeste and a disappointed Soreen.
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
I wasn't done-
Head Maid Yannah
The duke had already reserved a gown for you on this occasion.
The head maid cut her off and opened the blue velvet box and slowly brought out a red gown.
Soreen's eyes shined with satisfaction.
Running her hands in the red fabric she smiled softly and admired the dress in content.
Soreen Claydelerene Eclair
It's perfect
In the dark alley of a nearby village, A figure sat lazily in the ground.
Looking at the full moon rising slowly, he ate the cold bread in delight and laughed to himself, Earning a few uneasy looks at the people passing by.
Unknown
Embrace the chance of your interlocking destinies, for in the complexity of their separation lies the true purpose of your fleeting encounter.
