Chapter 7 % Tristans gaze drifted down to the slight swell of Dianas belly .
Move out , he said coldly .
After the child is born , everything will be settled .
} Tears welled in Dianas eyes .
What do you mean ? she cried .
Tristan , are you abandoning me again ? }] Are you even a man ? Youre the one who came to me .
You made me the mistress who tore your marriage apart .
Youre the one who allowed me to do whatever I wanted even trample over your wife ! } It was you who killed her ! A hundred times over ! } A crack finally appeared on Tristans frozen expression .
Shut up , he said sharply .
How I deal with things is not for you to judge .
} He turned away , voice steely .
Take her away , he ordered the butler .
And then , just as coldly , he tried to reset everything as if I had never left .
} He called my number again and again .
Questioned everyone who might have known something .
But no news ever came .
}] So he went to search for me himself .
When I wasnt in the city , he looked abroad.§ He visited remote towns in distant countries , carrying my photo , showing it to strangers .

} Dozens of women looked like me.§ None of them were me.§ Hope rose and fell , over and over .
Until there was nothing left .
A year later , on a quiet night , he found himself drunk and passed out in front of a mountain .
> A kind old man took him in .
Performed a pray .
And that night , Tristan had a rare dream.§ A dream of me .
I was startled .
I had been peacefully living in the upper realm when suddenly , I was pulled into a mortals dream .
Everything was quiet , unnaturally so.§ The space was decorated in a way that felt strangely familiar , though I couldnt place it.§ And then , without warning , arms wrapped around me from behind .
A mans hoarse voice thick with alcohol and desperation breathed against my neck like a final confession .
} Winda … I finally found you … ) I quickly broke free from his embrace .
Im sorry … You are … ? ! Maybe he was someone I had known , before I ascended.§ But when one enters the heavens , all ties to the mortal world are severed including memories .
His body stiffened .
His expression crumpled like hed been struck .
You dont remember me , he said , voice shaking .
Or maybe … you just havent forgiven me .
> He didnt wait for my response .
} I understand .
This isnt enough .

I shouldnt have come so half heartedly .
@ And just like that , the dream ended .
I returned to the skies .
When Tristan woke up , he grabbed the master in a panic , begging for answers .
After much meditation , the master gave his judgment .
The bond between us ran deep .
So deep , that when death approached , he could see me in dreams .
Something in him shifted then.W The next time I saw him he was dying .
After Killing Me Minety Nine Times For His First Love He Depented & 10:34 AM He lay on the ground , choking on water , looking like he had drowned .
Yet when he saw me , his eyes lit up with joy .
Winda youre here .
% This is just the beginning , he gasped .
When Ive retraced your every step … youll forgive me .
% I didnt understand .
Nor did I want to meddle in the affairs of mortals .
So I stood still .
Silent .
Letting him speak .

Maybe there had been something between us once .
But it was all in the past now .
The third time , he was lying in the snow , bare chested , his skin turning purple from the cold .
Were you this cold … back then ? he asked , teeth chattering.2 Maybe , I answered simply .
But he smiled .
With the last of his strength , he smiled .
Even one word from me was enough .
? It meant , to him , that he was on the right path .
That suffering would earn my forgiveness .
That this pain was his redemption .
Then came the fourth time .
} And the fifth .
% Ten times .
Twenty .
There were dog bites .
Car accidents .
He was relentless .
Punishing himself for every scar he thought hed left on me .
