“My lord, I wanted to spend some personal time with you to feel better after this odd lunch!”
Rafael tilted his head as he stared deep into her eyes with that chilly look that she felt she would freeze right there!
As if a cold blizzard was engulfing her and she would not even be able to breathe! The aura was so strong that she felt lucky that she was sitting already!
His hands on the steak tightened as if he was not cutting the steak but someone’s neck as blood started to splatter all over his plate!
Hazel gulped her saliva as fear started to crawl in yet she continued to stare at him as if she was waiting for his reply like a sweet little lover!
“Oh my, i forgot the strength i held and put a little pressure and look how it damaged everything! I might need another dish!” he waved his hand and soon the maids came running and changed the plate for him while Hazel felt her jaw was paining with that extended smile on her face!
‘What the hell this crazy vampire was trying to say now? Was he threatening her that she was too weak and a bit more pressure would be disastrous for her or was he telling her to use her strength wisely!
No! I would definitely be former! He did not seem to care about her!
Should she be more chummy!
“Oh, if you are not sure about it, then let me cut it for you! Or how about I serve you another dish!” she offered but the man just scoffed and continued eating, making her stand on pins and needles!
Her whole act and show of power depends on him! If he would not support her, then she would not be able to create her fear among others!
Just what was he doing? He had never felt to support her in front of others without reminding! Even when she had asked for the power of the empress to make the deal by herself, he had accepted it and forced others to support her!
Then why the hell he was not working according to script this time! She could only grit her teeth and stare at him while the eyes of others roamed from his face to hers!
“I wonder if he still supports you now that you have shared warmth with me!” Just when she was thinking of another plan, Damien chuckled and let go of his fork.
He gently placed his hands on his chin as he bent a bit and leaned on the table as if he was trying to lean closer to her.
His eyes were twinkling and the ray of light that was falling behind him gave him a glow of an angel!
His silver hair shone under the sunlight as if it was silver threads accentuating his sharp features.
If she would not be reminded of his cold ruby eyes or his evil plans, even she would have felt delusional!
“What are you talking about?” forget about her, how could anyone be able to share warmth with a cold being that was frozen long ago!
But then her eyes widened as she remembered the event in the garden! The whole fiasco had started only when he had come closer to her and Rafael had behaved in an odd way!
Could it be he was still angry that she had not placated him! Who was he? A lord or a kid!?
“Oh my, I am hurt! And here I thought that you will remember the event all your lifetime!” He placed his hands on his chest and spoke as if he was deeply hurt by her cold words.
Hazel gnashed her teeth in annoyance! Not even one, she had two actors to face all the time! She could understand the acts of Rafael! But she did not understand why Damien was troubling her!
She had never crossed paths with him yet he left no chance to tease her! Just when she was still glaring at the man, she felt intense heat behind her back as if someone was trying to create holes in her body.
She turned only to see that Rafael had a new plate of steak and he was cutting it but his eyes were still on her and the condition of this piece was no better than the former one!
She could feel his murderous aura from afar! If she did not give any proper answer to the statement, she was sure she would be the next under his knife!
She gulped and then brought the meanest expressions on her face as she stared back at Damien,
“If forcing someone to beat you is passing warmth, then I can do that even now!
Or are you not embarrassed enough with just one slap?” the fork with a piece of steak that Damien was about to place in his mouth halted in mid air for a second before going back to the plate as his eyes narrowed on the girl!
“I must say you are just like your mother who had no control over her hands!
It could not be a coincidence that you both tried to strangle me on the same day!
Yet I am kind enough to save you from the hands of the lord by just slapping you!
But if you are not satisfied, tell me, I will ask the lord to punish you properly this time!” she stole glances at the night creature as she spoke the words viciously and to her relief, the expressions on his face cracked as he finally turned to look at her properly and a breath of relief escaped her lips!
“You were strangled by both of them today?”
