Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“I will ask you again once you will meet them and get to know them better!” her face whitened further as she held her stomach but when she turned her face was calm as she nodded.

“It would be my pleasure to attend the founding day celebration of my native empire!” with a knowing smile on his face, he nodded as he waved his hands.

Two maids came forward and passed her another letter with the seal of her father’s empire on it.

“I knew that you would be smart enough to choose the best for you. Your father had already sent an invitation letter with a personal letter addressed to you.

As an understanding husband, I have not opened yours. But this is the reply I have sent to your father.” another maid came forward bringing a parchment opened for her to read.

Taking both letters in her hands she nodded but did not took the initiative to read any of them,

“You are not looking good. Go and rest, I will see you later!” glad that he had not asked her to stop any further, she turned to leave as her knees were already giving away._.

Though he had given her a chance to think, he had not told her what punishment she would receive if she would not be able to do what he asked for!

And was she really going to give up on her freedom to save the family who had never loved her?

And if yes, then this could be her chance. Writing a letter telling her family about the possible threat could be a mistake.

Though he had pointed out that he did not open any of her letters, could she trust his words?

Giving them a warning face to face would be better. There was no way that he could keep an eye on her all the time.

But even when she had sorted her thoughts, she could feel the fear of death she had forgotten for a while.

“Oh my, my lady are you not feeling well!” Just as the maids heard the sound of opening the door, they all came to greet her with an intention to see how much their hard work had paid for.

As the ladies of the empress, their favor lies in how much attention the lord gave to their mistress.

They were worried since he did not call her often to meet therefore they have given their best in preparing her for tonight but they all were shocked to see her ashen face when she returned.

It looked like she had seen a ghost or she was being beaten.

Hazel shook her head to deny but the nauseating feeling in her stomach only increased as she ran towards the bathroom followed by all her maids.

Taking out all the contents with wine, she held her stomach and closed her eyes.

“My lady, shall I call the physician?” asked the maid worried what might have happened to make her this way but Hazel shook her head.

“No! I want to be left alone.” raged that the maids were still standing there challenging her authority, her eyes narrowed at them, “now!”

As if coming out of their daze, they all flinched and nodded their heads as they ran out of the room in a hurry.

Laying on the bed, Hazel looked at the ceiling with a swirl of emotion in her heart.

“Why is it that you are still clutching me in your grasp even when I have flown away so far.” she did not realize when tears started to form in her eyes as the night passed.

“Who is there?” she sat up on her bed with a start when she felt something moving behind her.

Her eyes turned to look at the window and cursed herself when she found one of them was still open.

Hadn’t she told the maids to always keep them closed after the last event? Why was it still open?

More than that, what had entered from it? It was not the first time when she had felt someone was in her room or someone was following her.

Even on the terrace she had felt she had seen the shadow of someone. But even after calling so many times, she did not hear back or felt any other movements.

Was she being over sensitive? No! She was not even paying attention to her surroundings in the first place, then how could it be that it was her illusion?

“Who is there? Tell me or I will call the knights!” she howled as she stood up and lit a candle.

She felt something moving behind her again when she stood up and turned to see but nothing was behind her back.

Just when she was about to shout and call the maids, she heard the sound of thud only to see her windows getting closed with a strong force.

“What just happened?” not sure if the thing was gone or not.. She checked the whole room with trembling hands but did not find anything suspicious.

“I think I am going crazy!” She shook her head as she walked back to bed but did not put off the light this time as she snuggled herself into the shape of a fetus.

Just as she closed her eyes, the dark shadow that was still leaning on the window flew away towards the room of Rafael.

“Haven’t I told you to not go near her? What if she notices your presence?

She already had a doubt that someone would visit her room at night as she had asked the knights and maids if they felt the presence of someone yet you did not listen!” with a hint of irritation in his eyes, Rafael threw the glass he had in his hands in the dark space when it fell on the ground and shattered.

“If only you had a body! I would have killed you with my own hands!”
