The missing diamond (Throne of glass)

by Annavictoriana

He didn't want the one person he should love more than life and protect against all evil in his world. Instead, he continued to torture her again and again until he brought her to the brink of death. However, something has changed. The decision to bring her to the palace was not as accidental as it might seem.

1. Chapter 1

Celaena had waited too long for this day. As she walked with Chaol through the secret corridors of the palace, kissing him every now and then, she thought of nothing but the happiness that had happened to them.

If someone had told them six months earlier that they were going to get married soon, they would have probably laughed at him. But then their hearts grew closer and closer until finally they could no longer live without each other. They fell in love with each other and, forgetting everything that bound them them, decided to say the sacred vows.

It happened two months after their engagement, although if everything depended on them, they would be at church the very next day. However, too many things have happened for them to focus only on their dream. On the other hand, they had a really beautiful wedding. Modest, but it had to be so that only people they trusted would know about it.

"Wait a minute," the bride said as they passed one of the windows.

She took her husband's hands and brought her closer so that they stood sideways to the glass, looking into each other's eyes. The sun was just setting and the buildings of the city turned black, while just behind them the circle of the star faded gently from dark and sharp orange to light blue, gradually getting darker.

"Do you want to kiss?"

"It's almost like the beach," she whispered.

They got closer to each other, and the girl felt like she was about to cry. A few tears rolled down her cheek as the captain lifted her chin.

"I love you"

"I love you"

Only the most beautiful words were able to say to each other, because right after them they drowned in kisses. At first they did it very gently, as if they couldn't decide how long they wanted to stay with the beautiful view outside the window. The lips brushed slowly, without unnecessary insistence, but with love and devotion. It only lasted a moment, but for them it was much longer. Time seemed to stop especially for them, so they could fully enjoy this moment. Then they kissed without restraint, Chaol tried to go lower, to the exposed neck of his beloved wife, but then she took his face in her hands, kissed him again and pulled him down the corridor, towards her apartment.
