Zi Mei is convinced that Thorin is using the demon attack as an excuse to get rid of her. Not that he needed an excuse to cancel the contract. He has the ultimate say since he is the one who came up with the contract. All this whole excuse of her smelling like him that attracted demons is probably to scare her into agreeing to cancel the contract.

"You are probably conspiring with the demons to scare me," she accused him, saying what she has suspected out loud. Thorin was not pleased with the accusation. In fact, he reacted with cold fury. His face twisted into cold red rage.

"How dare you accuse me of working with demons? Do you have any idea how insulting that is?" he asked, his tone dangerously soft and steely.

Zi Mei gulped. Judging from his fury, her presumptions were highly erroneous. But she refused to back down. He is now discarding her like yesterday's leftover. She wanted to hurt him as much as he hurt her. She lifted her chin and looked directly into his eyes, refusing to even blink.

"You are getting rid of me because of the demons, I was not wrong to think they could be just an excuse for you to get rid of me!" she exclaimed.

She crossed her arms and puffed out her chest. She is standing her ground before this 3,000-year-old dragon who is a whole head taller than her. She has seen the worst that a demon could do to her. Surely he can't do anything worse than throwing her off a 13th floor balcony.

"For the last time, I am not using this as an excuse to 'get rid of you' as you like to put it," he said firmly. His eyes flashed silver and glinted ominously.

"Why would I need any excuse to get rid of you? I could have easily wiped your memories and leave you back in your house without telling you if I had wanted to 'get rid of you'," he said, stressing the words 'get rid of you'.

"Well, I will not let you do this so easily!" she lifted her chin.

He raised an eyebrow sardonically.

"What will you do? Kick me? Stage a protest?" he asked coldly. "There are demons after you and the solution I can think of at this moment is to release you from the contract, clear you of any dragon essence and let you go back to the human realm as you were previously, before you met me," he said.

"Then you shouldn't have kidnapped me in the first place! After all that we've been through, after that baby we lost, you expect me to going back to normal human life without you?" she asked. Tears are again welling in her eyes. This is one roller coster ride of emotions. She is both angry and hurt.

"Look Lil Zi, I don't have divining powers to look into the future. Even if I have, I can't foresee the demons starting a war right this moment," he said. He no longer looked furious. He just looked fed up and tired of her behaviour. As if he is so done with her accusations. He rubbed his temples and run his hand through his luscious hair.

"As much as you want to think of it as a conspiracy against you, please remember that the universe does not revolve around you, sometimes, some things are bigger than your mere existence," he added wearily.

This particular point struck a sore spot. She did sound as if she was so important that he had made up this elaborate plan to dupe her. Which is not the case. Now that she thought about it, it did sound a tiny bit ridiculous.

The world doesn't revolve around her and a war between demons and dragons has nothing to do with her at all. She heaved a huge sigh and swallowed the tears threatening to spill from her eyes again. The only thing that affects her now, due to the war, is that she will be forced to leave Thorin. Perhaps his offer of wiping her memories is a good thing. It will not hurt as much if she doesn't even remember him, right?

"So, I will never remember you if you wipe my memories?" she asked, her chin trembling, her heart hurting. She could already feel a chasm opening up between her and Thorin. It is now getting wider and wider. Soon, she will not even see him on the other side of the chasm.

"If that is what you wanted, yes, you will not remember anything about me or our time together at all," he said.

"Not even our little one?" she asked.

He sighed and looked away. Did she see a glimmer of unshed tears in his eyes too? No, she must be mistaken. The old dragon doesn't have any feelings for her, he would never shed a single tear for her.

"Nothing from here and nothing about dragon shapeshifters and demons, you will go back to being a normal human living a very normal human life," he said softly.

"What about my friends?" she asked.

"As what I've told you earlier, they will not remember anything either. Everyone in the human world who has seen us together will not remember anything about you being with me at all, I will just be the CEO of Loong Group Holdings, someone you have never met before," he said.

She nodded. So be it.

"Okay, let's cancel the contract then. I will go back to my life as a normal mortal and you…I hope you manage to defeat the demons," she said, her voice breaking and she swallowed, stopping herself from sobbing. She turned away from him. It hurts to even look at him now.

"Just do what is necessary. Is this immediate?" she asked in her trembling voice.

He sighed behind her.

"Yes, it is best we do it immediately. You house has been cleansed. So you will go back to a clean house with no traces of demons or dragons. I will clear your aura now and ….your memories," he said, pausing shortly before he said 'memories.'

"Do I need to close my eyes or do anything?" she asked.

He came to her and embraced her from behind. Her breath caught and she gasped. She automatically leaned into his warm and familiar embrace.

"I just want to hold you for the last time, Lil Zi. No matter what, we did share a lot of good times," he murmured. He turned her to face him and kissed her deeply. She knew this will be the last time she kissed him so she kissed him back, pressing herself against him.

"Take care of yourself, Lil Zi, I will remember you," he whispered against her lips.

Then everything went dark.
