Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 567

"Give me your hand," Brian said, out of the blue. Molly, who was enjoying her special birthday night in her own world, stretched out one of her hands without putting much thought into it.

He placed a velvet box on the palm of her hand. Looking into her eyes, he said slowly, "Open it..."

As she opened the box, her irises expanded. A blue diamond ring lay quietly in the box. She was stunned for a while and then slowly raised her eyes to look at Brian. Brian's usual hard face was softened, while his eyebrows and eyes did not look indifferent as always. In the light reflected by the moon, his eyes shone bright.

Molly bit her lips, looked again at the diamond ring and said, "Bri..."

Brian looked at her with his deep eyes; he wanted to absorb every part of her, completely into his eyes. He swiftly bent to kiss her ear, and said in a low voice, "Mol, you're going to be my wife. This is the promise I give you." When he felt her body shiver, he added, "the diamond on the ring was honored as "the Soul of K". Once you wear it, you will belong to no one other than me."

Like a curse, his words sounded in her ears. She was so flustered that she did not know how to react. She did not know what "the Soul of K" was either, but she figured that it must be a unique promise.

She slowly raised her eyes to look at Brian, who was standing up straight now. When she saw his sculpted handsome face, she felt that this birthday of hers was perfect with no regrets. Even if this was a dream from which she might wake up any time, she still chose to sink into this moment. However, there was no way for her to know if this was a dream or not. She wouldn't know it until she woke up from this beautiful dream later, to be drenched in sadness that could kill her. Painful despair would tell her that love and hatred competed with each other, forming a never ending cycle.

As Molly stood inside a holy church, she felt the dream had changed into something fancy. She looked at the cross in front of her and then glanced around at the quiet place. Her sight finally fell on Brian. She wondered what was happening.

The priest, who was dragged into the church by Tony, answered her doubt. Since he was forced to get up in the middle of the night, he was quite dissatisfied and looked at Brian and Molly with disdain. However, when his eyes met Brian's cold and deep look, he cowered and stayed silent.

Tony had already told the priest about what was going on. He cleared his throat. Since it was nighttime, there were no flower children, no nuns who could sing, nobody attending the wedding. As a result, the whole ceremony was quite odd. He looked at the two people in front of him, waiting for the testimony of God. The priest was afraid as he gazed into Brian's cold eyes. He felt like he was initiating Satan's wedding. The king of the world of darkness was marrying his bride, who would go to hell together with him. They would be taking a bloody black road, which was covered with thistles and thorns. Their love was a double-edged sword, which would not only stab and wound both of them, but also bring disaster to others who were involved.

"Brian Long, do you take Molly Xia for your lawfully wedded wife? Will you live together with her for as long as you both shall live, no matter whether you go to prosperous heaven or to thorny hell?" As he read the wedding vows Tony had given him, the priest frowned secretly.
