Seeing both councilmen leave, Darian turned his eyes to Harmony who had an obvious frown on her faceShe seemed like she was fidgeting on something in her mind and when she turned around to say something, she caught him staring at her"Master Darian? Who is a pet?" she asked and a smile graced his lips. It seems she was upset for calling her a pet"What do you think a pet is?" he questioned in return"A-an animal?""A pet is an animal, Harmony. Why do you ask?" he teased, leaning his head forwardShe remained quiet at his question"Is this because I called you a pet?" she didn't know what to say and just nodded "A pet can also be a person, dear. You're a pet, Harmony. But you're not just any pet, you're MY pet"The room was silentHarmony still didn't like him calling her a pet but she couldn't say a word against it "Master Darian-""Let's leave the past behind, Harmony" he said, as if reading her mind "Let's focus on the future, the Duke is dead and gone. Nothing's going to change i

With a broad smile on her face, Lucy took down the cloak she wore and threw them on the bed"Where have you been?" a masculine voice sounded from behind and Vladimir came into view"What are you doing here?" she asked, totally avoiding his question as she sat on the bed"I came to pay a visit" he answered, his eyes going to the cloak on the bed"I don't see how my movements concerns you, Vlad. As far as I remember, I can go anywhere without anyone's permission""You're right. Forgive me for being concerned" he said, his eyes looking dull and he walked out of the roomLucy shook her head and the smile she once had on, returned to her face"Wait till I get rid of you, I can finally have him all to myself".....Betty walked into the kitchen of the palace and could see the head maid"Can I help you, miss Cordelia?" she asked with a sweet smile seeing Cordelia pouring with a tray of tea"Oh, I'm giving this to the maids. They've been working all day, they look tired""Why don't I help out

Betty felt her mouth turn dry and fear quickly envelope her body, her eyes narrowed as the butler handed something over to Lord DarianShe gasped. It was the poison"Come out" Darian's cold voice erupted in the living room and the maids could feel the tension rising in the air "Come out while I'm still being nice, don't make me fish you out"Betty eyes narrowed at him, she was scared to death. If she steps out, then she was done for but if she doesn't and he brings her out himself...it would be worse"Don't make me repeat myself" his red eyes observed the maids expression, they held confusion. But one looked frightened and sweat glided down her faceBetty thought of stepping out but before she could take any action, a strong force pulled her forward and she landed on her knees... before Lord DarianHer eyes snapped up at him, she had no idea what had happened but she found herself kneeling before him"I-I'm so sorry, L-lord D-darian...p-please have mercy" she immediately pleaded, she c

Anna stood by the window as she glanced at the tall trees in the forest, she had been kept in the room for so long that she was tiredShe heard the sound of a carriage and when she looked down, she saw Samael getting on the carriage and it rode away"He's out..." she murmured to herself and walked towards the door. Her hands reached the doorknob but it was locked"What can I do?" she said to herself, going to sit on the bed. She sat for a while and then glanced at the blanket. A silly idea forming in her headShe then picked up the blanket and tied it with several others, making it long enough to climb down the window...Harmony placed three soft knocks on the hard door but got no response. She knocked again but still no replyHer hands then reached over to the doorknob and surprisingly, it was opened"M-master Darian" she called, peeking her head in at first and then the rest of her body. The room was dark with no visible light except the one illuminating from the moonHarmony could

With Anna on his back, Samael walked inside the mansion with the maids closing the door from behindCuriosity danced in their eyes as they glanced at each other, they wondered who the lady wasAnna kept her head down as Samael went up the grand stairsSamael opened the door with his side and stepped inside the room. He placed her on the bed and went towards the bathroomHe came back with a bowl of water and he placed it below her feet. Softly, he took her leg and dipped it in the water"Ouch..." Anna winced when the cold water came into contact with her feet. Samael washed both her feet and afterwards, wiped it clean with a towelPlacing the bowl aside, he rummaged through the drawer and brought out an ointmentAnna watched his every movement with soft eyes, no one has ever cared for her this way before, she was flushedSamael sat besides her on the bed and placed her leg on his lap. He gently applied the cream on the wound evident under her feet"This is what happens when you try to e
