“So how’s life being the heir now?”
Louis’s face tugged up subtly when you asked that question, he scoffed. He didn’t want to talk about the Horns Conglomerate right now.
Today, the deer had invited you to his family estate just to catch up. It had been at least a month now since he’s last seen you, due to his workload from university and family matters. As well as getting betrothed..
You two sat on the rim of the large pool around the of the back of the estate, and while you stared at the water, Louis stared at you.
During the pair’s attendance at Cherrylot academy, for the four years they were together, they never managed to cross the line of lovers, nor stayed behind the one of ‘friends’.
The only thing that held them back in their high school days was the suspicious and scrutiny of interspecies relationships. That will continue to be a factor in their relationship for the rest of their lives, yes, but now another factor is present.
His wife.
She was a deer, just like Louis, and not like you. She was so much better… but she wasn’t you.
“Being the heir was never something I cared for. You know this, Luka.”
Louis scratched behind one of your fluffy pointed ears, earning a twitch. He chuckled.
As bad as it was…
You were the only one he could look at with such love in his eyes. He and his wife would never share that gaze. It was a commercial wedding arranged by his father.
