Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"My lady, if possible you should try to cancel the deal!"

"You are not in a position to ask me that! You can leave now!" Diana stared at the girl with reluctance but nodded her head and left from there!

Rubbing her forehead as if she had aged in a day, she took out the parchments and started working on the files again!

Yet the words of Diana continued to haunt her ears again and again,

"Sigh! Why had he killed so many people to even annihilate the whole coven of witches!" she muttered under her breath as she thought that her husband was no lesser than the grim reaper who came to take all of their lives!

How much time had passed when she was finally done with everything! This was more exhausting than she had thought!

It did not feel like she was the empress at all but the clerk working on files!

"My lady lord is calling you for dinner!" she looked at the sky that had already turned darker and nodded!

Taking all the files in her hands, she walked towards the dining room. But was surprised to see only Rafael sitting there and her eyes scanned the whole surroundings.

"Are you waiting for someone?" her head snapped back to Rafael and she shook her head but nodded!

"I was expecting lady Natalie to be here too!" she took out the parchments and placed it only on the table beside her as she sat down and then looked around again!

Even Scarlet that stuck to Rafael like his tail wasn't there!

"Lady Natalie wanted to take a stroll in the garden! So, I have sent her with Arnold.

Damien was getting too bored, so I sent him to get some entertainment too!"

"And what about Aunt Scarlet!" he raised a brow as she stared at the girl who was looking at him with her bright animated eyes!

"Are you questioning me now like a wife, huh?" Hazel blinked and then looked away!

"No! I was just asking since I have never seen her missing meals, my lord!" could he not behave like a gentleman for more than five minutes.

Picking up her knife, she tore the steak with full force as if she was stabbing him to death. With a vicious smile on her face, she continued to cut it without eating a single bite of the steak that even his eyes narrowed at her plate!

"Do not tell me that you are cussing me!" a sly smile formed on her face as she raised her head and stared back at him.

"No! Not at all. What made you think so, my lord?" though she was denying, the triumphed smile on her face said it all that even his lips curved up cynically!

"Ha! Then it must be my overthinking! By the way, we are going to check the route next morning!

I have called you here to give some instructions!" her face turned solemn instantly as she nodded her head.

"The palace is full of vicious people, stay alert. Be cruel and more vicious than them, so that they would fear you and not think of attacking you.

Do not go alone anywhere and do not cross the boundaries of the palace!" She nodded her head diligently like a kid who was getting instructed from her father.

This was the first time she was listening to him without retorting or passing sarcastic comments that his face fell! He was expecting her to hurl and deny but he nodded back so that he would punish her to share room with him!

He had to think of another way now! Placing his hands in the pockets, he took out a small box and passed it to her.

"I want you to wear it all the time too!" her brows knitted into a thin line as she opened the box with curiosity when she saw an obsidian in it with a red pearl.

"Ouch!!"

Her hands roamed on it as it looked too mesmerizing when she felt as if electricity had struck her!

She took her hands back and the box fell on the table with a thud!

Hazel stared at her hands and then at the box with confusion as she did not understand what happened! There was no way that a jewel could hit her! Could it!?

"What happened?" She raised her head only to see that his eyes had turned darker as it almost looked back just like the obsidian instead of red and she forgot what she was about to stay!

"Nothing! It just fell from my hands, I apologize, my lord!" Rafael continued to stare at her as if he was searching for something but then nodded his head and picked up the pendant from the table!

"Let me help you!" Before she could deny it, he had already stood up from his seat and walked behind her.

She flinched when the pendant was brought closer to her skin and closed her eyes. But this time nothing happened!

She opened her eyes and stared at the pendant as if it was a snake that could bite her any moment, but nothing happened!

'It must have been my illusion!' she smiled as her absurd thought when she flinched again as his cold hands touched her neck!

A strange sensation started to fill her like the time they danced together. Instead of jerking away, she leaned on to his touches further like a moth was attracted to light when she felt him bending closer to her ears.

His eyes turned darker as he felt her trembling under his hands but more than that, his eyes narrowed on the red pearl that he had placed on her neck, she did not know what it was for.. But for him it was his last trial and hope..

"Do not take it out Hazel, it will keep you alive even when you are not beside me!"

"...."
