Her Guardian from the Shadows

Chapter 3

Gothom's eyes gleamed with anger and malice, he already cannot kill Taurus, but if he can convince him to join him, they will wreak havoc on the Earth, and he will fulfill his desire and promise to ensnare Adam's offspring, including them in hell, he will not enter hell alone. Gothom followed a new strategy in dealing with Taurus, telling him charming words that take away his mind and make him control him.

- Taurus I have not left you for a single moment, I have been watching you all these years, I have seen your tireless attempts to gain satisfaction, but your God is very cruel and never loves you, although he forgives all human mistakes, he has excluded you, has not forgiven your mistakes and has not appreciated your efforts،

I know that you deserve the best, I will give you the strength you want, I will make my slaves servants under your feet, you will be able to have the life you wanted, you will be able to love, marry and have children, I will compensate you for everything that you missed on the surface of the Earth, but we have to unite together, let's join forces and act as one person.

Taurus raised his eyebrows, and gothom's words really hit what he wanted, it's a really tempting offer, and in the end he will not return to heaven and will be immortalized in hell forever, so why not enjoy his life and live it as long as the end is the same, Taurus stood on his feet and said mysteriously and confidently:

- I agree, so tell me what task do I have to do in order to get Bliss in life!

Gotham's lips parted for a devilish smile of victory and he exclaimed as he hugged Taurus in his long arms:

- No one will be able to overcome us, together you and I will overcome everyone and take revenge on those who caused our expulsion from the Paradise Of Eternity.

The hand of gothom that patted Taurus's back was heavy and disgusting, and for a moment Taurus felt nauseous from the intensity of gothom's embrace of him, he never rested for him nor for his offer, but he had to pretend to obey to know his goal and what he intended about this poor child, he would never trust him again, he had learned his lesson and would not return to the same mistake twice.

Gothom’s hand, patting Taurus’s back, felt heavy and repulsive. For a moment, Taurus felt a wave of nausea from the intensity of Gothom’s embrace. He had never trusted him—nor his offer—and never would. But he had to confront him, to uncover his true intentions regarding the poor child. Taurus had learned his lesson and wouldn’t repeat the same mistake twice.

Several hours later, Vicky returned to the child’s crib to check that she was sleeping peacefully. Her husband followed close behind, wrapping his arms around her from behind, whispering with burning desire:

“You were magnificent… You stole the minds of everyone.”

She pushed him away in annoyance, undressing quickly and disappearing into the bathroom for a short shower. He sighed deeply and threw himself onto the couch, lighting a cigarette.

“Put out the cigarette! There's a baby here, or have you forgotten?”

He laughed mockingly, blowing smoke into the air under Taurus’s fuming gaze.

“Since when do you care about children, my dear wife?”

She glared at him from behind the bathroom door, trying to cover herself with a small towel, scolding him sharply:

“She’s not just a baby—she’s our lifeline. We must protect her. That child will save us from ruin.”

But her husband wasn’t listening. His gaze devoured her body with lust. The medication he had taken to improve his relationship with her seemed to have kicked in. He hastily put out his cigarette and followed her into the bathroom, closing the door behind them.

Taurus looked up at the sky, exasperated by this wretched family. He knew well that this child would never grow up right if she remained with them. Surely, she would absorb their wicked morals and corrupt ways. He approached the baby’s crib and gazed at her innocent, beautiful face. She truly was a lovely child.

He gently ran his finger across her small, delicate features. She seemed to feel him—sense his presence. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, and she stared at him before breaking into a happy smile. Taurus frowned, wondering if she could actually see him. He leaned in a little closer, and the baby's eyes widened, her silent smile growing brighter.

It was strange. At that age, it was rare for a baby to smile like that. He watched her as she slowly drifted back to sleep, a foolish smile still drawn across his own lips. Taurus sighed in frustration, looking around.

He needed to find a place close to this child. She had become one of his priorities now.

And he would never leave her in this family's hands without protection.
