Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Ramona VIII

The next morning, Aiden awoke in a cozy bed, the warmth of the soft blankets still wrapped around him. The room was dimly lit, a peaceful contrast to the emotional whirlwind of the previous day. He lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts racing.

Ramona’s revelation had shaken him more than he wanted to admit. The weight of her words, her promise to never leave him again—it all felt like a burden and a comfort wrapped into one. He had asked for time to get his head straight, and she had agreed without hesitation.

With a heavy sigh, Aiden swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. The air felt cool against his skin as he made his way to the window. Pulling the curtains aside, he looked out at the bright, clear day outside. The castle grounds stretched out before him, lush and peaceful, as if mocking the chaos inside his mind.

“I wonder what I’ll learn today,” he muttered to himself, knowing full well that whatever lay ahead was bound to be mind-blowing.

Today, Ramona had promised Aiden something monumental: the memories of their life together. For her, it was a vivid recollection of her last life, but for Aiden, it was a distant fragment, buried deep in the timeline of over three lives ago. The weight of it all settled heavily on him.

“I just keep leaving people behind, don’t I?” he thought to himself, a mocking smile creeping onto his face. It was bitter, that smile—filled with irony. He had promised himself that in this new life, he’d live fully, making the most of the opportunities and relationships that came with it. But now, as he reflected on everything, he realized that even here, in this world, he had kept love at arm’s length.

“Even Shelly and Serina,” he murmured quietly, the thoughts swirling in his mind. He had been focused on other things—on power, on survival, on whatever destiny had laid out before him—rather than fighting for them.

He leaned against the windowsill, staring out at the horizon. “I keep moving forward, but am I really living? Or just surviving?”

For the first time, Aiden truly questioned his existence. Why was he chosen? Why did he keep following the whims of the Cube? These questions, once distant, now began to weigh heavily on his mind.

“What is it that I really want?” he wondered aloud, staring blankly into the distance. All this time, he thought he was just enjoying life—taking things as they came. But now, when it came down to it, he realized he never truly had a goal, to begin with. He had made countless empty promises to himself, only to forget them a few days later, like someone who swears to lose weight but gives up after a few indulgences.

His whole life had been a series of distractions, surviving rather than thriving. And now, faced with Ramona’s revelation and the realization of how much he’d ignored, it all came crashing down. He had always acted as if he had a plan, but in truth, he had been drifting aimlessly, pushed along by the currents of fate and circumstance.

“What do I want?” he repeated, this time with more urgency, his heart clenching.

A question that no one but only he could answer, yet he don’t know the answer to it.

Aiden stood by the window, his reflection blending with the world outside as the morning light filtered through. The weight of his thoughts pressed on him, a pressure he’d never truly confronted before. Everything felt surreal, like a dream he was only half awake from.

He had been swept along by events, from the moment he gained his powers to the moment he found himself in this strange world, constantly reacting but never truly directing. Even now, with Ramona’s confession and the revelation of his past lives, he felt as if the ground beneath him was shifting, and he didn’t know where to stand.

“I’ve been chasing after nothing…” he muttered, realization sinking deeper into his bones. All the battles, the fleeting victories, the people he met and left behind—it was like he had been running in circles. Shelly, Serina, Ramona… they all represented parts of his journey that he never truly embraced. Each time he got close to someone, something else pulled him away, distracting him from forming any real connection. He was always looking for the next challenge, the next problem to solve, never allowing himself to stop and ask, “What do I want out of all this?”

A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. The door creaked open, and Ramona stepped inside. Her presence was calming, but her face held the same weariness he felt. She knew.

“I brought you something to eat,” she said softly, placing a tray on the table near him. “But… I can see something is bothering you.”

Aiden sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t know, Ramona. After everything you told me yesterday… I just feel lost.” He turned to face her, his expression conflicted. “For so long, I’ve been moving forward, but now I don’t even know why. What’s the point of all of this? Why am I here, with these powers, with these memories?” His voice cracked slightly, revealing a vulnerability he rarely showed.

Ramona watched him for a moment, her eyes softening. “You’re not alone in that feeling, Aiden. I’ve felt the same, even before I remembered my past life. We get so caught up in the battles and the power struggles that we forget what we’re fighting for.” She took a step closer, her hand resting gently on his arm. “But it’s okay to not have all the answers right now. Maybe… we can figure it out together.”

Her words hung in the air, and for the first time in a long while, Aiden didn’t feel the need to respond immediately. He looked at her, really looked at her, and saw the same uncertainty reflected in her gaze. She wasn’t offering solutions or pushing him toward some grand destiny. She was simply there, offering to share the journey.

“I know how it feels,” Ramona said softly, her voice carrying the weight of her own experiences. “To keep moving alone, thinking you alone are enough. But when it truly comes down to it, you understand—being alone isn’t a strength. It’s a burden, one that slowly eats you up from the inside.”

Her hand gently caressed Aiden’s face, her touch tender and understanding. “I have felt the same emptiness you’re feeling now. And the answer I found was to return to you. But… I was unfortunate that by the time I realized it, you were gone.” She sighed, her voice laced with regret. “I know I can never make up for that loneliness we both endured. But now, I’m here, for you.”

Ramona leaned in, pressing her lips against his in a gentle, almost fragile kiss, as if she were handling something precious. Aiden found himself sinking into the moment, her warmth enveloping him as he embraced her, pulling her closer. The weight of his worries began to lift, the storm inside him quieting for a brief moment. He kissed her back, each touch igniting a warmth that chased away the coldness of doubt and isolation he had felt for so long.

The kiss deepened, and for a moment, it was just them—two souls lost and now, finally, found. When they broke apart, Ramona panted softly, her breath mingling with his. Her eyes, shimmering with emotion, locked onto his as she whispered, “Do you want to receive your memories now or later?”

Aiden hesitated, still holding her close, his hands resting at her waist as he processed her words. The intensity of the moment and the weight of the decision lingered between them. His hand slid to the small of her back, and instead of answering directly, he kissed her again, a slow, deliberate kiss that spoke more than words could.

As his hands roamed, finding their way to the sensitive parts of her body, Ramona let out a quiet breath, surrendering to the connection they shared. Neither of them spoke, both lost in the moment, allowing themselves to feel without overthinking, without the burdens of the past or the uncertainties of the future.

For now, they were just Aiden and Ramona—no fate, no destiny, just two people finding comfort in each other.

Their hands moving on each other bodies, as Aiden pulled the strap of her dress causing her dress to fall and show her body in full glory, Ramona felt Aiden gaze as she raised her breast at Aiden face level, Aiden too didn’t shy away as he gently grabbed them and kneaded them into shapes as he put one in his mouth and sucked it.

Mhm~~~

A loud moaning sound was released from Ramona, causing Aiden to feel more wild as his hands reached for panties and he removed them….
