Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Umm, didnt i listen to every word you say without speaking in between?"

"........"

Never in his life had he felt so speechless!

When she had thought that he would be furious and the council would see and knew that he was acting all this time, he chuckled. He laughed hard as if he had heard the world's greatest joke that she was having a hard time pressing the hands that were around his neck!

Why in the name of lord he was even laughing! Shouldn't his facade break and he should shout at her!?

"You are smart Hazel. But it would be better if you use this smartness on others and listen and FOLLOW every word i say!

You must DO everything I ask you to! And I promise your SURVIVAL!

You do not have any other CHOICE!" She must applaud for his nonchalance! Why did he always threaten in a soft voice as if he was singing ballads full of love!?

With gritting teeth, she turned to find the girl whom she had to insult now! Like she would smile and say "come Hazel! Insult me as much as you want!"

"The one holding the glass of blood and standing in the corner!" He whispered again suddenly that she jumped in her place. When did he even lean closer to her?

"Do you want to kill me by heart attack to make it natural?" her eyes widened and her hands instantly flung towards her mouth to cover them when she realized she had spoken her thoughts loud enough.

His amused eyes cracked and a thin layer of ice formed on them instantly but within a blink it was gone again.

"No! You have to live a long life! I will protect you from everything and keep you safe forever!" for the first time the words left his mouth sounded sincere to her.

Her eyes blinked and she snapped her head back towards him! She did not know why she felt her heart skip a beat when he said so!

Was he confessing to her?

"After all, you are the funniest girl I have found! You could be my lifelong entertainment!" he added just when she turned to look into his eyes.

All the nerves of her head popped when she finally understood what he was talking about!

For him, she was like a mouse who was trying to run away and he was enjoying her struggles!

What was she even expecting! She felt furious as he had tricked her twice while dancing!

'Focus hazel! You have to be more alert while talking to him!' she reprimanded herself as she knew he loves to play!

He would play with her emotions too or else why was it that every woman hated her while she was unwelcomed by men!

Just then the song ended much to her relief and aggravation at the same time.

She knew now she had to go and do what he wanted to give him, his so-called Amusement!

They both bowed their heads a bit and he held her hands possessively in his hands while walking back to their seats only to leave it when they passed through the corner where the girl was standing!

Venisa was not expecting the lord to come to her when he had not spared an eye to anyone there. She had been vying for his affections for a long time but always thought Diana was a tough competition.

Therefore she had befriended Diana and even bore the initiative of Damien towards her. She was sure that with her seductive looks, he would notice her for sure but who would have thought another bitch would come in between.

"My lord! You are looking more handsome than usual!" she replied in a coy voice, completely ignoring the presence of the girl who was leaning on Rafael as if she did not have any backbone!

"Of course, I have to match up with my beautiful wife. Or else everyone would only look at her!" a soft smile formed on his lips when he said so and her face turned ugly but she covered it up with a forced smile.

She would only act like she had not heard him at all.

"That.. i was"

"Oh dear, excuse me! I just remembered I have something important to tell Edward, I should go before he leaves for the town of humans!" Rafael tapped the shoulders of Hazel as he spoke in an urgent voice that was filled with dramatic effect that Hazel wanted to roll her eyes.

He was such a drama queen!

Nodding at Venisa, whose words were cut in between. He left both girls alone to perform a play for him.

As he turned, his eyes sparkled like rare gems but his face was so cold that it would freeze the entire world.

Venisa continued to look at his disappearing back with longing eyes as she sighed and was about to turn and left.

If she would stand and talk to this joker! She was sure she would lose her calm and would end up killing her!

"Are you ignoring me, lady Venisa or you are so jealous that you did not even have the courage to face the girl who had stolen the man you vye for?" Venisa froze while her feet were in the air!

Her whole body burned with anger! Was the girl flaunting or accusing her. In both cases she was not going to accept it.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to pick up a fight with those petty words?"

"No! I am only telling you that he is mine so you better let go of those dirty thoughts for my husband. He would never show interest in you with that ugly face of yours?

I wonder when was the last time you checked the mirror?"
