Suddenly the air inside the stiff room dropped into few degree celsius. The cold wind after heavy rain were brushing against her cheeks causing her body to shiver a little.

Until now, her mind wasn’t in the state of calculating anything around her.When she faced the cold demon sitting on his throne, her mind finally came back to her sense and felt nervous.Esme spent a few seconds holding the door and gazing at the two people sitting across the dinning table.

Though they were sitting away from each others but still they portrayed intimate like an usual couple. At midnight, a boy and a girl were having dinner together, it could easily stir up anyone’s thought. 

Vanessa remained unmoved at her spot and looked towards Aaron to hear any answer. She was badly expecting that Aaron would scold her hard for being so rude over her.

Clang!

The sound of silver spoon falling on the plate made Vanessa jolting a little as she stared at Aaron excitedly.

Her expected moment was coming finally! 

Finally Aaron lifted up his cold gaze from his plate and watched towards the doorstep where the fuming girl was standing quietly. In no time, his expression turned soft and mischievous as he asked playfully,

” You want a privacy with me?”

His voice sounded so ambiguous that Vanessa started clutching her cloth under the table.She spit out anxiously,

” But your highness, we haven’t started eating yet.”

Aaron gave her a cold glare silently ordering her to shut her blabbering mouth as her face fell in embarrassment. She could only endure the humiliation given by Esme now.

Esme looked through his eyes and spoke mustering up her courage,

” Yes.. I have something to say you..now..”

Then her eyes fell on Vanessa’s dull face and her ordering tone pierced through her eardrums like a venom,

” I think, I asked you to get out from here, Miss Vanessa. I have some matters to say with the king.Don’t waste our time. “

Vanessa looked up at her with her hatred filled eyes and wanted to say something but Aaron spoke first staring at his little wife ambiguously,

” Remember that Esme, once you cross the door willingly, you can never go back. “

Esme frowned at his deep words and stared at his dominant silhouette.His mystical gaze were pressuring her too much that she shifted away her gaze awkwardly.

Vanessa showed no sign of moving and sat there firmly as if she heard nothing. She was still expecting that Aaron would stand by her side at least this time. The maids and guards were peaking inside curiously. It would be a huge slap to her face without any sound. 

Then she heard Aaron calling Esme lovingly,

” Come over here.”

Esme was a little taken back. He was calling her intimately in front of everyone including Vanessa giving her an intimate look as his muscular body was leaned leisurely against the head of the chair. 

Esme contemplated in her mind giving him a blank gaze and finally walked over him slowly.

 As soon as her figure came near his palm, he pulled her in directly on his lap as a loud gasp of astonishment left her lips.

Vanessa’s whole body became stiff as if she was hit by a bucket of cold water. She stared at their posture gritting her teeth hate fully.

Esme felt so embarrassed when she saw the maids standing outside started giggling. She immediately started protesting in his embrace but he was holding her too tightly.

Aaron diverted his attention towards Vanessa and ordered coldy,

” Go back to your room, Vanessa. Since my wife wants some privacy, you shouldn’t stay here between us.”

He looked down at the puffing face into his lap and added with an evil smirk,

” Who knows that what more scenes you will encounter later.”

The guards felt like puking blood as they heard their king’s intimate words.

Esme scolded blushing slightly,

” Shameless!”

Aaron replied smirking,

” Only towards you! “

Vanessa felt that her ears were puking venom after hearing their interactions.

Since when did they progess their relationship so much?

She couldn’t bear to stay there and drink venom anymore. She stood up abruptly and spoke forcing a smile,

” I.. I understand, your highness. I should head back inside my room now.. Enjoy your time.”

After saying her words, she dragged her heavy feet of the guesthouse reluctantly as her mind filled with intense jealousy and anger.Her mind constantly played their intimate act as she felt killing Esme at once.Behind her, the maids laughed at her pathetic state.

As soon as Lady appeared in front of Aaron, it seemed like there was no one in front of him except her.

The maids closed the door from outside understandingly. Only the two of them left in the empty dining place.

Esme felt her breathing hitched under his absorbing gaze and had the urge to melt inside those damn enchanting eyes. She felt like he could cast spell through his eyes too. His black attire always emitted an aura of demon king as if he was ready to capture everything around him in his palms.Even she was feeling numb under his rough embrace. 

Aaron looked at her flushed face and asked in a low voice,

” So what did you want to say to me? Can I have the honour to hear it now?”

Esme glared him back and replied struggling in his grip,

” You release me first. Then I will tell you..”

Aaron formed an unreadable smirk and replied shrugging,

” I warned you that if you take step inside voluntarily, you can never go back. Now, only you can say everything sitting on my lap.”

Esme sighed helplessly at his overbearing attitude.He had always several tricks hidden inside his sleeves. She had no way to back off now.

Even though she was in a forced relationship with him but Esme had always been a firm believer in a decent and respected relationship.She couldn’t be the pitiful wife who had been abandoned by her husband.She valued relationship more than everything else. Perhaps she learned it from her mother and learned to see from her point of view. Subconsciously a bitter smile left from her lips replaying some unpleasant memories in front of her eyes. 

She still remembered the hate, distrust flashed from her mother’s eyes and it stabbed her heart each time that she recalled it. 

She spoke avoiding his burning gaze and looking away,

” I.. umm.. I just feel that you should keep away your distance from women. Even though we aren’t like natural couple but I don’t want to disgrace myself in front of others.Morever earlier you said that you won’t hurt me ever.”

Aaron’s face flashed in happiness at the thought of making her wife little jealous. He asked expecting the unknown answer that he wanted to hear now,

” Then.. did you feel hurt seeing me having dinner with Vanessa? “

His gaze locked on her each expression even on the butterfly like eyelids of her drawn eyes.Esme corrected his words and replied tilting her head up,

” No.. I just felt hurt when others mentioned it in front me. It felt that they were looking down on me.. If you really want to continue being free around other women, let me go back to my parents. After that you can do whatever you want.I won’t ever claim my right on you. “

His blooming face disappeared instantly and switched into a dark aura.He tightened the grip around her waist and declared his sovereignty,

” Can you not mention the topic of going back each time you being with me, Esme? “

He paused and added looking deep inside her eyes,

” It hurts me to realise that you hate me to this extent that you always think of leaving me..”

Esme felt her heart wrenching little at his words and pursued her lips to say something but couldn’t find any word to deny the eternal truth of her own.

Then she heard his compromising low voice,

” I will never let you feel down as I promised you earlier. Moreover if you don’t want to see me around other women, I will never be.. But.. please don’t talk about leaving me always..”

Esme gazed deeply at him and replied whispering,

” Okay!”

A soft smile formed on his lips as he asked playing with her hairs as if it was his favourite toy,

” Then shouldn’t you do something to impress me? “

Esme muttered not understanding his words,

” What… “

Aaron smirked devilishly glancing at the peeled apple on the table,

” Feed me!”

Esme felt speechless and kept staring at his mischievous grin blankly.

This guy behaves too childish sometimes !

FAR AWAY FROM THE VAMPIRE WORLD,

a little girl at her seven was lying in a floor bed curling up her body like a little shrimp. Under the pitch darkness, her figure moved a little as she opened her eyes drowsily looking ahead. 

Immediately her expression changed into a frightened one when she saw only darkness and suddenly she heard the loud thunder strokes like a drum. 

A loud screaming escaped from her tiny lips echoing through the dark cave,

” Mommmyyyyyyy..”
