Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"My lady why are you packing all your jewels and belonging.'' The maids could not understand her actions. For the past few days she has been behaving strangely.

First she gifted them treasured jewelry for their good work and asked them to look for more maids for her but when they came back with more girls, she declined and asked all of them to leave.

And now she was asking them to pack every jewel that she had with all the expensive clothes. If she would have said luxurious or pretty clothes, then they would have understood. But she was only asking them for expensive things as if she was going to sell them for money.

Or did she want to show her family how wealthy she was! Hmm! It sounds more plausible.

"Yes, I want you to pack every expensive thing I have. Not even a single one was left out." if she had decided to not participate in the war their family and Rafael was going to have then she knew they both would not keep her in future, so, it would be better to be prepared.

Though confused, the maids nodded their heads and started packing every stuff they found expensive in her room.

Even paintings and gold candle holders were taken shocking the maids.

"My lady!" a knock was heard on the door bringing her attention back to them when she saw Alfred standing there.

"My lady, the lord is expecting you near the carriage in an hour." said the man, bowing his head. He did not come in and greeted her like always.

Even his tone was a bit distant as if he was already cutting their ties. The thought left a sour taste in her mouth yet she nodded.

"Wait, I have a request from my lord, can you pass this letter to him?" the man halted and nodded his head when hazel passed a letter to him,

"You did not need to bring a reply back. I will come to know the answer in an hour." though his brows furrowed but once again, he nodded and left as she sat in front of her vanity table.

This was the last time she was going to use this place. Though she did not have many good memories here she still felt nostalgic thinking about leaving this place for forever.

"My lady, you are looking beautiful today." she opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror with a nod. She did not care much about her looks now anyways.

She was only wondering if he would say yes or no! Though the slave belongs to her, he was the one who had paid for it and even if she knew that he did not care about money, she did not think it was right to take him without asking for Rafael's permission.

But when she reached the carriage, The slave she was so worried about was sitting on the palace of coachman.

Hearing the sound of her footsteps, he turned to smile at her as he bowed his head when she smiled back in return.

His green eyes were looking darker today or was it her illusion? She shook her head as she remembered she had taken him as the coachman of before too who had attacked them with witches. If not for the change of color and eyes, he matched that witcher with his looks and figure.

But that could not be. Rafael had strong senses when it came to recognizing witches.

She shook her head and entered the carriage where Rafael was already sitting and looking out of the window.

He seemed to be lost in his thoughts as he did not notice her presence. It was the first time she was seeing him after that night when he introduced her to that spirit.

He was looking pale and exhausted. His expressions were giving him a gloomy aura and it felt like he was too lonesome.

She felt a strong desire to hold him and tell him that she was right there but she knew that he was not looking for her lover who was a witch.

Though they have the same face, he would not be convinced even when she would forget the truth.

If only, she could feel her own heart feeling a strange force as if it was getting squeezed. If only he could have forgotten her, would she have had a chance to win his love?

In the end, she was not even able to tell him that loved him. Would this feeling go away with time or was she going to be like him, always longing for her lover.

In the whole world, why did she fall in love with him?

Whenever he had gone into the room of Bella, he had felt assured as if she was still there. Her essence had filled the whole room but last time when he went there and asked for punishment, he felt that she was not there anymore.

A strange void that has been created has affected him more than he had thought. He had kept himself closed in his room and even had decided to give this mission to Damien.

But when the thought of Damien and Hazel spending time together crossed his mind, he felt uneasy. He knew that he was developing a soft corner for the girl and was worried that it would turned into more if he would not let her go but he knew that he was not able to leave her no matter how much he think about it

Rafael came out of his thoughts when he felt that carriage had started to turn to see that she was already staring at him with a smile on her face.

'You are here!" he whispered like a fool when she chuckled but soon her image overlapped with the other one.

"I was here forever, it is only you who had not noticed my presence as you were lost in your thoughts."
