As Rio traced his fingers at the intricate design and lines drawn on the edges, he remembered the plot where, during Rio's fight with Artemis, he ended up killing Myra who came in between to stop them. The dagger which was described in the book, and this were eerily similar, and he who just after learning about Ria, had decided to change the plot at all cost, was shocked when a thought that all his efforts will be in vain, came to his mind.
Author's warning at Church Cassandra's doom chapter rang in his ears - 'A man often meets his destiny, on the very road he takes to avoid it. Future is fixed, and you can never change it.'
He felt the author watching & laughing at his efforts to change the future, but the thought of stopping, of giving up never came to his brain. What consumed his brain was rage, the ending of his and Amelia's was something he had to change at all costs. And if that meant going against the author's plot or heaven's choices then he so gladly accepts.
"I'm sorry Myra, but I can't accept this gift." Rio said as he calmed down, decided to change this plot scene, right here and now.
Myra, confused after watching Rio's reactions, asked- "Do you not like it? If that's the case, I can find something else." Myra said as she put the dagger back in her ring, even though she said that, a corner of her heart felt hurt, after hearing he won't accept her gift. She was willing to give him the only thing that held some value to her, but he outright refused. Of course she knew he'd have many other treasures that would be much better than her dagger, but there were sentiments involved.
Even though her facial expressions remained the same, Rio could guess what was going on in her head.
'She got it wrong, huhh'
[Nope, you worded it poorly]
'Don't speak when I'm busy' Rio said when the system suddenly came between his self thoughts. 'so nosy.'
'If you have nothing to do, think about ways to mess up the plot, be a little helpful.'
With that command Rio again ignored the system who started ranting in his head.
Rio looked at Myra who was silently walking by his side, and said -"It's not because I don't like that dagger, I just wanted to ask for my own gift that I wanted. That is, if you're serious about giving me something."
Myra stopped in her tracks, a smile came to her face as she heard those words, "Of course, what do you want?"
"A favor, I'll tell you when the time comes." Rio said seriously, and walked in his room before the confused Myra could say something. "And keep the dagger with you, it's your lucky charm."
The doors closed as he went in, leaving Myra standing outside, thinking what he meant by those words or what favor he would ask. 'Did he notice something about the dagger?' Myra thought as she checked the dagger, but couldn't find anything. "I'll ask him tomorrow."
Saying that she continued walking towards her own room.

In the most opulent room of the Blake mansion, adorned with exquisite furnishings and dimly lit by the soft glow of strategically placed crystal fixtures, the room exuded an air of elegance and luxury, reflecting the refined taste of its inhabitants.
Agnus reclined on the bed, his gaze wandering around the space. Just as Agnus took in the splendor of the room, remembering all the beautiful memories it held in place, Artemis emerged from behind a partition, having changed into an attire more suitable for sleep. Agnus found himself momentarily lost by her enchanting presence. Her appearance was nothing short of captivating,
The fabric of her nightwear clung to her in all the right places, leaving Agnus captivated by the sight. His gaze was drawn to the gentle rise and fall of her bosom, a testament to her allure and femininity.
As she moved, her waist, partially revealed by the nightwear, hinted at the tantalizing curves that lay beneath. It was a testament to her sensuality, inviting Agnus to explore the depths of her beauty.
Long, slender legs carried her towards him, each step accentuating her grace and poise. With each step closer, the room seemed to grow warmer, The elegance with which she moved filled the room with an air of desire, leaving Agnus unable to tear his eyes away.
The soft, smooth skin of her exposed shoulders and arms beckoned to him, inviting his touch and kindling a deep longing to feel her against him.
Her hands, adorned with the softness of her skin, moved gracefully as she closed the door behind her, Artemis's hips swayed gently as she turned, a captivating display of her innate allure. Her every movement exuded grace and confidence.
The way the moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow upon her flawless features, only enhanced her beauty and made her presence even more captivating. The soft light that bathed her face highlighted her features, casting a glow that enhanced her natural beauty.
She adorned no jewelry, but in that moment, she needed none. Her natural beauty and magnetic presence were enough to render her the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes upon.
Agnus couldn't help but feel a surge of desire and adoration for the woman standing before him. A radiant beauty that never failed to mesmerize Agnus. As she gracefully made her way towards the bed, Her eyes locked with Agnus's, and a knowing smile played on her lips.
As Artemis climbed onto the bed, the sheets rustling softly beneath her, Agnus found himself falling in love with her all over again.
As he reached out to her, his hand trembling with a mixture of desire and adoration, he could feel the electric charge in the air. Without hesitation, Agnus extended his arms towards Artemis, pulling her gently but possessively into his embrace.
As they lay together, their bodies pressed against each other, Agnus whispered words of love and devotion into Artemis's ear. Agnus gently played with her hair, his fingers gliding through the silky strands. Artemis closed her eyes, savoring the intimacy of the moment and the warmth of Agnus's touch.
Agnus's fingers moved to trace the delicate earring that adorned Artemis's ear. Agnus's caress and attention to the earring brought her back to reality, as she said - "So you noticed it too."
"It is hard to miss. Did you ask where he got it?" Agnus said in a gentle tone.
"I'll ask him tomorrow, he seemed so happy today, I didn't want to ruin his mood."
"I've asked some of my men to stay near him, in case something happens."
Artemis nodded her head, despite what she showed on the surface the worries about Rio's words from before had been eating at her heart ever since then, she had built a loving family, and left everything behind for this peaceful life. If there was ever any danger to it, she didn't know what she would do.
"He's a smart kid, Artemis. He won't do anything wrong. If he did ask Esme to do what you think, then I'm sure there must be a reason. So stop worrying, and relax. I'll take care of it." Agnus said in a gentle reassuring tone, hoping it would calm her heart. He knew better than anyone else about how much she loved this family, and he would do everything in his power to make sure her smile never leaves that face.
"I know. Thanks Agnus." Artemis said as she closed her eyes again. She nestled her head against his broad chest, finding solace and comfort in his presence.The rhythmic sound of his heartbeat provided a soothing feeling of peace to her.
As Agnus gazed upon Artemis, he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having her by his side. She was perfect in every aspect -a beautiful woman, a good wife, and an even better mother.
She was his muse, his lover, and his confidante – a woman whose beauty and sensuality were unparalleled.
He planted a tender kiss upon her head, his lips gently touching her skin in a gesture of love and reassurance. In that intimate moment, their eyes met, and a spark ignited between them. Their lips came together in a passionate embrace, their connection deepening with each tender kiss. Wrapped in each other's arms, they found solace. As they held each other close, their hearts beat as one, and their lips sealing their love with another lingering kiss.
In that moment, Agnus knew he was the luckiest man in the world, to be able to have her in his life, to witness her in all her splendor and to share a love and family with her.
The room, with its extravagant decor, served as the backdrop for their love story. In that moment, the world and the worries outside ceased to exist, and all that mattered was the feelings they shared.
