Chapter 49 [Bonus chapter] The strange drawings!
“Hmm, that is why you are still alive. Other humans did not have that much brain!” he shook his head and she finally realized why he had killed his previous wives and she thanked god that she did not try anything funny!
“So, is that a yes, my lord?” Another amusing smile formed on the face of the night creature as he felt the shivering of the girl, yet she was trying to take a brave front.
“That will depend on your conditions. What are they anyway?” a glimmer of hope filled her eyes when she heard his leisure voice.
At least, he was not furious for challenging him.
“They are quite simple my lord!
My first condition is you will not touch me or come closer to me if we are not in public or acting like a couple!
And second i will not kill, injure or do anything that would hurt any other being either its human or vampire..
I know that you want to use me as your tool. But I have my own ethics and morals! I do not want to stain my hands!
Except that I will do anything in exchange for staying alive and living a normal life!” he raised a brow as he smirked but his eyes had turned cold.
She could feel that something had changed on his face that her fear doubled!
“And you still call that life normal? Being used as a tool and dancing like a puppet in the hands of others. You still call this life worth living! What a joke? I would have laughed if it would not have been so disgusting!”
Her cheeks burned as she felt embarrassed when he called her life disgusting when he was the one who was making her his tool and using her for his benefit!
If he found it so disgusting then why was he doing it anyway. He could have freed her after sometime. But even expecting it would make her a fool!
She clenched her hands but if he was waiting for her to break down then he was wasting it!
Even if she had to suffer pain, even if it was hard to breathe and even if she had to walk on the shards of glass! She still wanted to leave.
She would not give up no matter what condition she had to face!
“Even if you feel disgusted with me. There is no doubt that you need me, my lord! And I am ready to serve you if only you will grant my two wishes!” gulping the bitter taste forming in her throat, she replied in a calm voice with not a hint of humiliation in it.
Rafael looked away as if he could not even bear to look at her. Her mere presence was suffocating him, as he pinched the space between his eyebrows!
His every action was not only insulting but would have hurt anyone’s self confidence and the person would have backed away but Hazel was not fazed even a bit, though she felt the pain but more than that she felt irritation as he had no right to judge her when he was the one using her.
“Do not worry, I do not force girls! They come to me on their own! So, I promise that I would not initiate but then I would not stop if you will be the one to take the first step!
And if it’s about staining your hands with blood! Then as a night creature I love blood so much to ask you to do it!
I would rather drink it all than spoil it!” he finally chuckled and his face looked much better and she nodded.
A breath of relief escaped her lips as she finally felt a bit safe!
“Whooshh!” strange! Since she was so tense, she did not feel that the wind was so chilly, but now that the burden had left her chest, she suddenly felt that she would freeze to death.
Her teeth started clattering as she rubbed her hands when he sighed!
“If you are feeling cold then go in! Why are you even still standing here? Or are you waiting for me to princess carry you into your room!
I would not have minded it but then you would accuse me that I have broken your first rule!” she shook his head as his hands were on his chest in an over dramatic way!
Could he never be normal! What an actor!
“Then, pardon me for excusing you, my lord!” she bowed her head as she held her dress in a formal way when her eyes fell on the ground and she frowned!
She crouched on the floor and touched it with her cold fingers.
There was a strange pattern on the ground as if large circles had been drawn on it! There was a strange painting and things like letters were formed on it too.
“Ouch!” she removed her finger instantly as she felt something sharp touching her finger and blood oozed out instantly.
Placing her finger in her mouth, she gave one last glance to the ground and stood up abruptly!
Not only him, but even his palace was strange! If she did not know that vampires hate witches more than humans, she would have thought that it was a black magic circle made by a witch.
“Excuse me please!” she muttered and when she saw him nod, she immediately turned and left from there.
Once she was at a distance and her back could not be seen anymore, Rafael stopped staring at her and looked down.
A few of her blood drops had fallen on the drawings that had been drawn on the ground but except that nothing changed!
How much time had passed when he continued to stand there like a frozen statue and stare at the ground without even blinking as if he was waiting for a miracle to happen but in the end, he just sighed and closed his eyes.
A melancholic look shrouded all over him again as he turned and left from there!
