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
"So refreshing..." Carmen said taking a sip from the tea and Harmony slowly brought the cup up to her lipsBetty waited in anticipation as Harmony was about to drink from the tea. However, before the cup could get to her lips, the cup was harshly slapped from her hand. Resulting in it shattering at the impact the moment it landed on the floorBetty was surprised at the unexpected intrusion and so was Harmony. Harmony's eyes went to glance at the broken teacup on the ground before going to glance at the person"L-lord Darian..." Betty shuttered ....Darian walked in the hallway with his trustee butler by his side"Milord, the council seem to have taken the Duke's case seriously" Lennox reported"This wouldn't have happened if you had buried the body properly" Darian said and he came to a stop when he saw a familiar person sitting on a bench. He was about to turn around when he caught a strong whiff of something in the air. He then stared at Harmony who was about to drink from a teacup
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
Betty was shocked, she didn't know it has such drastic effectsShe had no other words to plea for her life to be spared "It's only fair if I deliver the same treatment to you" Darian said, twirling the cup in his hand "Drink it"Betty eyes widened and tears flowed down, she shook her head"Don't make me wait" Darian said, his eyes getting darker by each passing second "L-lord Darian, ple-""DRINK IT!" This time, his voice came out unusually loud and the maids could feel the temperature dropHer lips quivered as her shaky hands reached over to take hold of the cupShe took the cup and glanced at the liquid inside, she knew she was done forThe maids were anxious at what was going to happen if Betty was to drink from the teaBetty inhaled sharply and then looked at Harmony with pleading eyes but Harmony looked down at her feet, she was helpless at the momentShe placed the cup down and shook violently, she couldn't do it. She didn't want to die yet"Lennox, why don't you help her out"
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
"I-I'm the reason you got injured, if you want to... I-I won't stop you" Samael stared at her with an unknown look. She was willingly offering her blood to him, but not because she wanted to...but because she felt guilty that he had gotten hurt"Oh really? You won't stop me?" he asked, moving closer to where she knelt. His hands draped round her waist and he shoved her towards him "I'm so thirsty...I could end you this instant" her eyes went agape hearing what he said "It seems you're so desperate to get bitten by me...again""I'm not" she retorted almost immediately "I'm only doing it-""Out of guilt?" he cut in "Forget it, I don't intend on getting my mouth soiled tonight""You-my blood is not that...bad " she spoke softly"Says who? You're not the vampire here" he then stood up and offered her his hand. She placed her hand in his and stood up but she felt a pang under her feet and she staggeredSamael was quick and caught her in his arms"What is it?""My feet, it hurts" Samael the
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
."He is not in a relationship. Samael, what is the meaning of all these? Don't you dare drag the Hawstrone's family name to the ground because of some filthy woman. I won't allow it, you will only be with Genevieve""I have had enough of you and your daughter. Don't you dare try to control me, I have my own life and I am to decide who I want to be with" Lady Shirley's eyes widened, her son had never spoken to her in such a manner before"Samael, you're speaking rudely to mum because of some human? I'll have her dragged down here an-""Go on, Sarah. If you dare" he cautioned coldly "If you so much as to lay a finger on her, I won't guarantee you'll live to see daylight""Samael-" shock was written all over Sarah's face as she watched Samael exit the dining"Mum-" Lady Shirley raised her hand, signalling Sarah to keep quiet"I'm so sorry you had to witness this, Genevieve. Why don't you drop by another time, all these would have been resolved by then""Yes, Lady Shirley. Please, excuse
