[A/N: The story about what happened after the proposal will be released in side stories, but if there is anything more that you want to know about this story then please let me know through the comments, i will try my best to fulfill it ^_^]
Modern Timeline, 2023~
‘I forgive you, Cain..’
The sleeping young man abruptly opened his eyes as he again had the same terrible nightmate.
The blanket slipped down and rested on Cathain’s waistline and revealed his sweaty bare muscular upper body.
‘Just when am i going to find you...’
After Eleanora’s soul disappeared to get reborn, unexpectedly he also find himself opening his eyes again in an completely unfamiliar place.
The people here didn’t had any magical powers.
Most of the people had same looking brunette hair and eyes, except some exceptional continents where people would have blonde or other hair colours.
.....
There is no empire, no noble or commoners.
Everyone is equal and has to rely on their own power and talent to complete their dreams.
There was no more political fights, wars; everyone busy with their own lives.
Unlike his past life, he had a mother this time and a loving father.
His mother, Catherine is a renowned artist; who loves nature.
Where his father; Ryan Donavon, is the CEO of a large buisness corporation.
As the only child and heir of the large socialite family, Cathain Donavon’s life has been smooth till now.
Except the fact that he couldn’t find Eleanora even after 24 years has been passed since his rebirth.
Cathain Donavon sighed as he got up from his bed as usual, hoping to see her again everyday.
Today was a special day for him.
After becoming a COO of his father’s company, Donavon Corporation, it would be his first time handling a big project.
If it turns out to be success, they could earn a million worth profits. And if they loose, they loose half of their entire income.
Cathain did a detailed study on the project.
It won’t just be his father and people from Donavon Corporation, many of their business associates that have any link to their business will be present.
So, he wanted to show them his best.
After a shower, Cathain Donavon started to get ready for the meeting.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror after he was don and nodded in approval.
Dark blue suit, white shirt, blue tie, hairs gelled up, and an expensive perfume.
He was dressed to impress, as somehow he got a feeling that something nice was going to happen.
“Woah, are you going to a meeting or to get me a daughter in law?”
Catherine, who was sitting on the hallroom sofa lazily became surprised to see her son dressed up all of a sudden.
“Mom... You will get a daughter in law as soon as i find my dream girl,”
Cathain spoke as he leaned down a little to kiss his mother’s cheeks and suddenly felt a push.
“Go away! How can a big man like you kiss someone else’s wife?”
Ryan Donavon, Cathain’s father in this timeline spoke as he kissed his wife’s cheeks and Catherine chuckled.
“...Your wife is my mother, Dad!”
Cathain spoke as he felt offended and Ryan just glared at him.
“Get a wife and kiss her as much as you want then. I already tolerated you beside my wife for 24 years. I can’t tolerate it anymore.”
“...”
Cathain became speechless as he thought about his time in the abyss.
Where everyday and every minute was eternal... No one will age or die.
Just living and living untill they get the chance to reborn in another world.
He used to feel the same like his father, Whenever his two sons would cling to Eleanora all the time.
His face became a little glommy as he thought of their children and her, even if she always ignored him, she never stopped him from interacting with their kids.
But Catherine mistook it as he felt upset because of Ryan’s words and moved away his hands which was hugging her from behind.
“Okay, Okay... Come here, Cath...”
Catherine extended her arms towards Cathain as she pulled her son towards her to kiss his cheeks.
“...”
“My little baby is still a baby... How will you get a wife if you keep clinging to your mother?!”
Cathain just smiled at her words as she didn’t knew how much he had longed for this family love in his past life.
He always wanted a simple and normal family like this and now it’s fulfilled.
“I love you, Mom..”
Cathain was about kiss his mother, when his father suddenly pulled him away from her again.
“Haizz... Now let’s go, Cath. The meeting is really important and we can’t get late.”
Catherina bid away Cathain and Ryan, before going back into their villa to start drawing again.
After two hours, they finally reached their destination. freew(e)bnovel
The Archduke Group, where their meeting is going to be held today.
Seductive looks were thrown on all along the way by ladies at Cathain, who just walked into the elevator quitely.
He was used to this already. After all, no matter how much they look, he is already taken by her in their every life time.
Cathain Donavon went to the conference room in his usual confident strides.
The people from Archduke Grouo were not here yet, as there was still half an hour before the meeting began.
But unexpectedly, only after five minutes, the people from Archduke came in.
Leading the troupe was Ethan Montogamy, the CEO of the Archduke group.
Just a look at Ethan Montogamy’s cold blue eyes, people could tell how dangerous his because of the surreal cold aura around him.
Somehow, he reminded Cathain about the Duke of Dalton; who only exists in history now. free webnovel.com
It was shocking when Cathain found that they existed in this world’s history.
Though it was not his story, but it was about the third timeline’s Cathain; who was called the Greatest monarch ever in history for the changes he made in the imperial laws.
Woman empowerment increased, and the commoners started to get well off because of the changed rules, where everyone got the chance to get education.
The illiteracy rate almost dropped to zero because of the free education system for public and as woman’s also started to work, no family starved again.
The modern medicine advanced by the queen of Arendell and Duke of Richardo because of his support.
People no longer had to wait for priests or go to temple, as the medical technology became available for everyone.
He broke the rule of thousand years by not execute someone’s whole family for one person’s sins, which earned him more fame as a wise monarch.
The proposal tradition also started from him, who had kneeled down infront of everyone to propose to his fiancee.
And, all of this was also for one person.
Whose name people still remembers and uses to describe beauty and talent.
Just like her name, she was a shining light which brighten up everyone’s life in the empire.
‘Everything is for my beloved empress.. This emperor’s only love,’
“Sorry for the late,”
Another cold voice rang after a minute Ethan had entered, as the door of the conference room opened again.
Cathain Donavon’s black eyes widened as he turned around and felt his breath getting knocked out.
The girl who walked in had gorgeous wavy light brown hair and her deep blue eyes narrowed coldly to observe the people in the meeting room.
Her blue eyes looked like as if it was looking straight into everyone’s heart. A beautiful face with no pores or blemishes whatsoever.
.....
Her make up was minimal. Not a caked up face like most of the woman Cathain had seen till now.
And her clothes were stylish but simple.
But that was not what had drawn Cathain to her. It was her personality.
Her presence demanded attention. It was like a monarch in front of her subjects. Like she is the predator while they are the prey.
Cathain swallowed his saliva as her presence made him feel suffocated because of his heart beating fast crazily.
Each step she took towards him felt like a heavy hammer was crushing his heart and he couldn’t took away his eyes from her.
“This is my daughter, Milenka Montogamy.”
Ethan Montogamy spoke as he pressed on her shoulder lightly with a proud look and Milenka smiled back at her father gently, before she turned her gaze to the person who was staring at her with an confused look.
“This is my son, Cathain Donavon.”
Ryan Donavon introduced his son as it was Cathain’s first official appearance after living abroad for so long.
He had searched for her in the entire world, where she was just right beside him.
“I will find you again... No matter where you get reborn or how you will look... Or how much you change, what you become... I will always find you... Because my heart will only beat crazily for you..”
His last words to her, before she disappeared rang on his head continually.
The girl infront of him didn’t had shiny silver hair, jewel like blue eyes and her icy cold mana.
She is no longer Eleanora, and will never be again.
But his heart still recognised her.
Cathain subconsciously reached out his hands for a handshake as he tried to hold back his tears when she finally shake her hands with him.
‘Finally i found you again, My empress...’
