Chapter 288 Arrogance Have Its Own Consequences

Vincent was sitting on the large single seater sofa near the fireplace and had a big smirk on his face instead of surprise.

He was not even shocked when he saw them appearing out of thin air as if he was expecting their presence.

She looked around and noticed more than two dozen knights were pointing their swords, daggers and bow at her.

She glared at Lucian when her whole demeanor turned cold. Aggression and hatred could be seen coming from the bottom of her eyes.

Her face had that domineering look that can make anyone shudder.

“You did this intentionally!” she did not say that he betrayed her yet no matter how much anger she felt.

She still waited for him to explain that he did it to save so many lives but he looked away from her.

“Oh, is my poor sister hurt?” he stood up from the seat though the knights stayed alert, he had leisure expressions on his face.

His gale was slow as if he was sure that she had nowhere to go.

“What happened sister? Are you surprised? Did you think that you would enjoy your life after snatching everything away from me? Huh?” he held her jaws and placed so much force in it.

She struggled but did not use her powers since she didn’t want him to know that she was a witch.

He was a crazy person who could do anything and had the support of witches that wanted to hunt her.

She did not want to place Anne and Rafael into any danger before knowing the situation.

She looked around to observe her position when he increased the pressure and howled.

“Look at me when I am talking to you? This arrogance can cost you your life!” his voice was roaring. Loud enough to tremble anyone but she just scoffed.

“Are you trying to scare me after bringing me here by deceiving me?” she asked with a look of disdain in her eyes that he could not bear.

He could not bear her behaving high and mighty when she should be kneeling in front of him and begging for her life after looking at so many knights aiming their weapons at her.

“Deceiving! You are hurting my emotions sister. I only brought you here since I wanted to bid you goodbye personally.

It would be a waste if I would not be able to see fear of death in your eyes. But why was she still scoffing at him?

He pulled her hair as he stared into her eyes.

“If you think that your tricks work here or Rafael would come and save you then you are a fool.

You will never be able to walk out of this trap alive, you bitch. What are you looking at? Kneel and beg and I might spare your life.” this time he used much force that she flinched.

She was sure that she was going to lose a lot of her hair with the force he was 0putting in but there was no fear in her eyes.

She continued to look at him as if he was a fool that irked him so much. As if his skin was burning with fire but no amount of water could extinguish that fire.

Her strong willed gaze was like insects crawling over his skin.

He raised his other hand with the intent to slap her to inflict fear in her but before his raised hand could touch her cheeks, Lucian held it tightly and glared back at the man.

“What do you think you are doing? Hurting her was not part of our deal.” his cold eyes pierced Vincent who raised a brow and then chuckled.

He took a step back from Hazel and raised his both hands in the air as a sign of defeat.

“You said that you will only keep her captive to blackmail Rafael and give her to me when he would die.” He ignored her questioning gaze that was boring holes into his back and negotiated with the man who had a vicious smirk on his face.

“Yes, I know. Haven’t I already kept my side of promise by keeping all those beasts alive?” he asked back to Lucian and then pointed at a knight who bowed his head and left.

Soon, he came back with all the kids whose hands were tied with a rope and behind them was the maid they had saved.

“You!” Hazel’s mouth opened as she pointed at the maid who smirked,

“What? Do you think that it was just a coincidence that the girl who knew all his secrets fell into your hands and even spoke the truth?

Not only have I spilled beans but even supported you unlike others. You should have realized by then that it was a trap.

But like a fool you brought me to your safe place and even left me alone here.

That old lady was too easy to handle and this Romeo.. He was so busy crying your name that he did not notice when I called my lord here.

The kids were good bait as they were fools just like you.“ The woman moved towards Vincent who pulled her into his arms and kissed his neck and then licked it.

“You are only bearing the consequences of your foolishness and arrogance. Now you are going to pay for it with your life and all those poor kids and this lover boy are going to suffer because of you.

Do you not feel guilty, my lady?” she teased and then laughed viciously.

Her voice was soft and enchanting but filled with vice and evil when Hazel gritted her teeth. She did not care about her but she did not want kids to get hurt.

“We are fine big sister, you shall run and save yourself. You can not keep your life in danger because of us. Please run away.” She looked at the kids with a heart wrenching look.

“What do you want from me?”
