The thunderstorm continued outside vigorously engulfing the castle like a dragon. Inside the thunder lightning flickered room, Aaron felt like his whole mind and thoughts were running wild like a mad hoars unknown about his destination. 

He stared at the lying girl deeply. 

Under his flabbergasted gaze, the lying girl continued murmuring,

” Don’t.. don’t hurt.. .. she.. she.. is.. my.. baby..”

His eyes dimmed when he clearly heard the inaudible sound baby. His all blood cells were rushing back and forth inside his stiff body as if it would burst out in no time.

The only assumption that he could have in his mind then that she was calling her boyfriend lovingly baby in her daze. Even though he wasn’t being a romantic man, he used to visit human world for so long. He heard many teenage girls calling their boyfriend’s baby.

Does it mean that she had a boyfriend out there and that’s the reason she was so desperate to leave him? But Jasper did through a severe investigation over her biography before taking her in. Is he missed something out?

If he skipped this important information of her life, I will fire him for eternity.

An unknown bitter suffocating feelings coursed through his heart. He felt like shutting her outrageous mouth at once or else he would turn the whole room into hell. 

He shifted his gaze on her dull face and heard that she stopped speaking it loud but her lips were still moving slightly.

He couldn’t hold back his intense curiosity thus he leaned in. Her hot slow breathing brushed against his cold face as he heard him say again in an extremely low voice ” Baby..”

In no time, he used his sharp teeth to bit her lips stealing a bit of sweetness from her them. 

How dare she is still calling her boyfriend baby in front of me? Does she want to die?

Esme grunted in pain lying down as her drowsy eyes started opening lazily.

As Aaron heard her grunt in pain, his anger subsided a little thus he straightened up his body gazing at her face angrily.

Esme again grunted in a low voice and subconsciously her hand reached for the ached spot on her head.

Her pupils shranked fluttering as she opened her eyes fully and was completely shocked out meeting an icy face glaring at her.

She muttered softly, ” You..”

Watching her holding the head painfully, Aaron intended to help her to get up.. As soon as he leaned in, Esme’s mind reflected the earlier terrific images as her whole body jolted and curled up. 

Her broken and frightened voice spit out fearfully, 

” Don’t.. don’t.. touch me.. “

Aaron paused at the middle of his action and felt lost. His stretching hands were taken back from the mid air reluctantly when he met her fearful eyes.

Esme moved aside quick on the bed and made a far distance from his figure. She got up abruptly leaning against the edge of the bed and spoke stammering at her words,

” Don’t.. don’t come near me.. you are monster.. you will hurt me..”

She reprimanded the line again this time loudly,

” You are a monster.. You kill people.. don’t come to me.. I beg you to let me go.. please..”

Her pathetic words reverberated in the whole room and Aaron felt a sudden heartache for her. 

She sobbed hardly clutching the blanket and stared at his face with her teary drawn eyes.

Aaron remained calm and unmoved but the pain was slowing travelling from his heart to his eyes appearing it empty. 

Gulping down the bitterness of his heart, he whispered slowly,

” I never intended to be a monster to you, Esme and I will never be. I won’t hurt you ever even if you find me hateful, trust me at least once.”

Esme sneered and replied glaring at him hatefully,

” A monster will always be a monster. You kidnapped me so that you can hurt me like the caged people downstairs, isn’t it? “

She sniffed and continued,

” Then what are you waiting for? Why don’t you kill me?”

Aaron emphasised his word,

” I said that I will never hurt you, Esme.

I mean it. “

Esme responded daringly,

” Then why don’t you let me go back to my world if you really don’t want to hurt me. Forcing me in this relationship, you are hurting me more than everything, king Aaron. Sometimes heart bleeds more than

our body. “

Aaron gazed at her fiercely and suddenly pulled her in his grip roughly saying loud,

” Why? Why should I leave you? So that you can go back to your little lover right whom you call baby even in your daze.”

Esme’s face turned pale in fear and astonishment. Did she mention everything in her daze? How far did Aaron hear her?

Watching her fell in silence, his anger was no bound. He shook her body vigorously and screamed at her face loudly,

” I guessed it right. You are planning to leave me whereas I am willing to give the whole world at your feet. You really have no sincerity Esme Watts. You don’t deserve my humbleness towards you.” 

In no time, Esme felt the sharp pain on her chin as it was being lifted up harshly. Aaron spoke every single word in his domineering tone,

” Put it inside your head, Esme that you can only be mine in this life. Only mine. Try as much as you want.”

After saying, he lifted up from the bed pushing her behind and stepped outside leaving her all alone in a bitter heart.

As the door was opened, he ordered coldly to the white haired boy Jasper,

” From tomorrow, she isn’t allowed to go outside anymore. She can only stay here in her room, tell Viviana.”

Esme gazed at his retreating back tearfully and wanted to curse him badly but hold it back. 

Hot tears fell down from her eyes as she spoke to herself sorrowfully, 

when can you be free Esme? when? 

Jasper nodded respectively showing his sovereignty and slightly lifted up his gaze towards Esme on the bed as his lord passed by. 

Esme shifted uncomfortably after receiving his narrowed gaze.

Jasper took some steps ahead inside the room and said in a formal and gentle tone, 

” Pardon my words, My Lady. But don’t speak to my Lord harshly always. Perhaps your vision will change after knowing him.Try to read his mind once.He isn’t so cruel that you think of him.” 

Jasper left after speaking his initial words and closed the door from outside leaving Esme in bewilderment over his words. 

HUMAN WORLD, 

THE BLUE BIRD BAR, CRYSTAL CITY

Ethan pulled out the girl downstairs instantly after the incident occurred upstairs. He thought of joining the crowd would cause less trouble about their presence. 

Inside the loud musical atmosphere, 

Ethan chose a quite corner away from those bar girls and led the insane girl beside him forcefully sat down who was occasionally nagging him to join the dance floor. But Ethan denied every time warning her not mess up here anymore. 

He was still curious about the fact that what did she find in the footage? 

Taking a sip from his glass, he turned his face to watch the beaming girl and asked, 

” Why did you ask me earlier to resume the video?

Did you find any clue inside the footage ?” 

Athena gulped down her last sip of wine from the glass and shook her head,

” I’m still not sure about that. Let me think for a while. That bastard has worsen my mood, today. “

Ethan parted his lips but suddenly Athena was freaked out, 

” Oh no, damn it.. “

Ethan followed her widened gaze and found two men and one woman were pushing the crowd slowly as if they were searching for someone. 

Ethan gazed deeply at them not having any idea and asked her, 

” Why are you freaking out?

 Do you know them or did you do something bad again?” 

Athena grabbed his palm tightly in fear and explained quickly in a breath, 

” They are all my personal bodyguards.

May be they have found it out that I have escaped from my room. They are looking for me master. Let’s run away from here or I will be a dead meat. “

Ethan replied looking at her timid face, 

” It’s too late. What should we do now? “

Then Athena’s eyes fell on a corner where a boy and a girl were kissing each others wildly. Suddenly an idea coursed in her mind. 

Suddenly She pushed Ethan against the back of the couch and blurted out, 

” Forgive me, master. Just cooperate with me. I will repay you later, I swear.” 

Ethan pursued his lips to ask the meaning but suddenly his whole body froze. 

An alcohol filled misty lips crashed against his lips sucking it greedily. Athena leaned in against his body groggily and used her messy hairs to cover their faces while she continued kissing him hard holding the couch behind him. 

Ethan’s whole mind was in chaos as he let the girl suck his lips remained motionless.

When he felt the girl was falling down due to their unbalanced position, his hand subconsciously hold her back offering her a comfortable position. 

The kiss was gradually becoming wild whereas the guards were searching for her through the whole room madly.
