"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
Alan watched from the side of the hallway as Darian exited Harmony's room. He nodded in realization that Harmony was of some importance to the Lord"She can definitely be of some use" he said to himself before walking away.Anna awoken from the sharp rays of the sun seeping in through the curtain. She stretched her limbs and slowly sat upShe moved over to the window and opened the curtains. Her eyes nearly flew out of its socket when she saw the window tightly jammed with several woods from the outside"What the-" she almost cursed when the room door opened. Samael stepped into the room, dressed in his royal attire "What is this?""What is what?" he asked, acting to be oblivious to what she was talking about "Why is the window jammed?" she pointed out"To keep you from escaping, we wouldn't want last night incident to repeat itself now, would we?""The room's going to be hot with the window like this""Oh...then you could come to my room, there's more than enough space for two""No
"Lord Darian!" Alan roared and he stood dangerously close to her. Harmony was confused as well as shocked at what he was saying"I-What do I have to do in all this?" she questioned"You...I can see how close you are to him, there's no doubt he'll come to save you" he said with all certainty"W-what if he doesn't come to save me? What then?""Oh...he will come, I've heard your history"History?"What happened to the Duke after he tried to lay his hands on you, I know Lord Darian killed him" what he said had her eyes widen in surprise"H-he didn't kill him, Lord Daria-""You know nothing, Harmony. Oh? Still keeping you in the dark? Anyways, it'll no longer be of any importance. I'm waiting for his arrival".Carmen hurried over to the Lord's study and without knocking, ran inLennox who was in a deep conversation with the Lord, snapped his head over to her and was about to reprimand her for barging in"F-Forgive me, Lord Darian but...something happened to Harmony" she spoke with hasteD
."Take her along" he said, his gaze now on Harmony. Harmony turned to look at him and he offered her a smile, nudging his head for her to leaveShe followed behind the butler, her sweaty palms fidgeting on her sides"Is Lord Darian...going to be okay?" she asked but got no response from Lennox. Thus, she kept it to herself"You should be worried about the other party, not Lord Darian"Sitting in the carriage, Samael stared at Anna as she gazed out the window. Her eyes brightened at each passing buildingShe turned to look at him and her eyes widened when she caught him staring at her. The carriage harshly came to a stop and the carriage nearly tumbled"Are you okay?" Samael asked and she nodded. He stepped down and she followed"What happened?" he asked the coachman who bowed deeply"I'm sorry, milord. The carriage wheel came out all of a sudden. If you could wait, I'll head back to the mansion and bring a new carriage" the coachman suggested"That'll take too long. Head back, we'll
.."I can't, it cannot be disclosed until it is properly announced. Please, join me in the carriage""Stay right here" he strictly said to Anna and got inside the carriage with Genevieve"What is it you want to say?""Lady Shirley dropped by our mansion last night, she spoke with my father about our engagement ceremony. Father agreed that our engagement would take place the day after tomorrow" Genevieve said with a slight blush tainted on her cheekSamael wasn't a bit shocked by what she said, he knew his mother would go to any length just to get acquainted with the councilman"You heard my words the other night, Genevieve""I did and I don't mind being your second wife" she hastily said "I-I really like you, Samael. I have all the qualities you'll need in a woman and by the looks of it, Lady Shirley doesn't seem to approve of the woman you choose"Samael deigned no response"What do I have to do for you to notice me? Can't you give me a chance?" she asked, wrapping her arm around his
.."He was corrupted, tapping into the black magic and feeding his soul with darkness. He was blinded by rage that he was willing to do anything, to get back at me""About the Duke, w-were you the one who killed him?" Harmony asked, raising her head to meet his eyes"I told you, any one who wishes to harm you...has to go" Darian stated and held her hand "Know this, Harmony. I'm going to keep you safe and eliminate any one that dares to harm you"Harmony felt her stomach do a double twist as he uttered those words, she was feeling something strange towards him. Something she could not yet explain.It was morning, the thundering sky greeted the land of Zludac. One could tell winter was approaching and thus, the palace and the market square got busy"It'll rain anytime soon. Whoo...winter is fast approaching" Carmen stated, bringing out a brown box from her drawer"What is it?""Wool. I thought maybe we could busy ourselves by making something, perhaps a sweater or a scarf...for the rai
