Chapter 0694

"Let me speak to my wife," I choked out urgently. "I want to at least see her, let her know I'm alive and that I love her before..." I couldn't force out the hideous words, but I didn't need to. "Please," I said, softening my voice a little, "I know you're not so cruel as to deny us closure." But her once beautiful features twisted with sudden bitterness. "Your wife will not be coming here," she said. "There's no need for her anymore. And after the ceremony, you won't even remember she existed. Your mind will be free."

Mila smirked. "It's a simple ritual," she said. "With a few spells and some potions, you'll forget your past. Everything you've ever known will be right here, with me. You won't feel any pain, because your wife will have never existed in your mind."
