I was awake but still crying, my throat raw, sore, and swollen I'm lucky I could breathe properly.

My relationship with Luka was fake, I was a virgin sacrifice to Adrien for his band so that he could get inspiration from me for new songs. I feel so used, broken, and lost. I rubbed my face into the pillow and sobbed harder, So why was I thinking about how much I missed Adrien? I wanted to hate him so much. But I just couldn't.

Then I heard the door open, I opened my eyes to see Adrien coming in with a tray of food, I didn't move, I was too tired.

He set the tray down on the dresser before looking at me, and I just stared at him, he picked up a glass with a straw bringing it to me and holding the straw to me, I saw that it was ice water, it would feel good on my throat but I didn't move I didn't do anything but stare at him.

He tried to put the straw in my mouth but I didn't take it or suck from it.

"Come on Marinette, You need water." He said gently petting my head. But all I did was stare at him and feel more tears fall.

"You need water if you keep crying your going to get dehydrated," He said giving me a worried look but I did nothing.

"Ok Fine. Then I guess I should go ahead and tell you the rest." He said setting the water on the nightstand so I could reach it.

"I want you to think about something for me." He said grasping my chin and making me look up at him through teary eyes.

"Think back to when you were little, do you remember a black and yellow cat?" He asked me and for some reason, a memory popped up but I gave no indication of it.

"Come on Marinette focus. A black and yellow cat. What did you call him?" He asked me making remember though I still didn't move.

A little me at age 4 wearing a red and black spotted dress with white ruffle sleeves, collar, & hemline, twin tails with red ribbons, and shiny black shoes running around while being chased by a black and yellow meowing cat.

No, it wasn't a cat. It was a boy, he was much older than me. He wore a black suit and tie with cat ears and a black napkin for a tail and he was pretending to be a panther.

"Cat Noir," I said as my 2 emotions began to bleed together, nostalgia and heartbreak but not moving.

"Good how often did you play with him?" He asked me sitting on the bed next to me with a small smile but I didn't answer him as my mind was thinking.

"Every 2 weeks right? You would spend the weekend at his house," He said remembering something from so long ago I forgot.

"Do you remember why you stopped?" He asked me rubbing my tears from my face as I looked at him and then I saw him, the same boy from my memory.

"He ran away when he was 16. You were 8 at the time." He said questioningly.

"Cat Noir?" I said in a small cracked voice in surprise making him pull me in for a deep hug and kissing my forehead but he laid me back down when I did hug him back.

"Hello, LadyBug." He said reminding me of his nickname for me but I still didn't move as my emotions were bleeding together and all I felt was pain.

"I ran away because I found out something my father did that made me sick to be around him." He said stroking my hair while I laid there and stared at him before he laid down next to me.

"Do you remember LadyBug? I was only 14 and you were only 6. I held you in just like this and I said something to you." He said holding me against him as I closed my eyes to remember.

Adrien wore a black shirt with 3 stripes, a white over shirt, blue jeans, and orange converse as we laid on his bed in his room and he held me close to his teenage body, while I wore a red dress with black ruffles, black shoes and a bun on top of my head.

"We're going to get married one day LadyBug. You're going to be my wife, and I will take care of you. I promise~" The memory fades as Adrien hugged the little me and I turned to the one in front of me.

"You promised to Marry me. I said shockingly in a cracked painful voice.

"I also promised to protect you. I figured running away was a good way to start." He said holding close almost to tight as if he thought I would run away again.

"Why?" I asked him as I felt the nostalgia effecting me and loving the feeling of him close to me.

"Because growing up my father has introduced me to all of the rich daughters in the nearby area to arrange a match for me, but I was too normal for them, I wanted to dress up & act like a cat, play in the woods, come home muddy." He said holding forehead against mine, I was feeling myself calm as I saw him more as a human instead of a kidnapping, monster, rapist.

I turned my head and looked up at the water making him look and see carefully he reached over to grab it and bring it to me but I took it from him easily and found the strength to guzzle all of it feeling the chill run over my hurting throat.

"Good." He said untying my hands and then going to my ankles as I was finishing the water, he sat up with me as we laid back against the headboard and he wrapped his arms around me pulling me close.

"When I was 8 he went to look for a new baker to live in the estate, So in his search, he came across a small Boulangerie and Patisserie that held not only the best bread in Paris but also a huge American man and a small Chinese woman who wanted a child of their own. Thus he offered them a deal of a lifetime, they come live at his estate and be the official baker and personal chef of the house, in return he will help them conceive a child." He said making me look up at him at the recognition of my parents.

"He had a doctor help the woman conceive making sure to give them a daughter, a beautiful little girl with dark hair who could be raised right next to her fiance and learn about who he is so that when the time came they would be married and I would be able to take over my fathers business. The Businessman Gabriel Agreste is my father." He said making me jump up in surprise.

"The same man who my parents live with and work for?" I questioned him.

"Yes, you were made to be my bride Marinette." He said looking at me to see my reaction but I felt nothing, I saw nothing, hear nothing, I felt... Dead.
