482 He Love.. whom?
The scent.. That was the thing Diana had traded from those filthy witches and she was glad that she had done it.
It was helping her in keeping Rafael closer to her. He had completely forgotten about Hazel upto the limit where he had stopped going to their bedroom and was coming closer to her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck while her hands played with his hair when he leaned to the crook of her neck and sniffed her again as if her smell was giving him peace.
“Rafael..” she purred in a soft voice, “i was thinking why don’t we spend the night together in my chamber. I did not like it when you work all night. You should give yourself a break too.” her voice was soft, enticing like someone was clawing his chest creating a strange itch when he found himself lost in her touch and her voice.
“That would be a good idea.” he found himself replying back before he could think straight when she smiled.
Her face lit up like stars as she hugged him with joy and squealed.
“Really. Then why are we wasting time! Let’s leave this moment.” her joy knew no bounds.
She was glad that she did not listen to the advice of her mother and waited further. It was that easy. She was going to have him today. Her long unrequited love was finally going to get its destination.
She held him closer to him as she pulled him out of the room when he chuckled and started following her but just as she opened the door, Hazel was standing in front of her.
.....
Her hands were wrapped in front of her chest and she was staring at Diana with a cold look on her face as if she was waiting for this scene to happen.
“Aah.. hazel!” Diana did not know how to respond. The scent should have affected everyone around her and Hazel should have liked her too but it did not happen.
It must be because Hazel was a witch too.
“Are you both going somewhere?” The look in her eyes was so cold that Diana instinctively let Rafael go before realizing what she had done.
“Yes.. we.. we were working the files of the witches to find the culprit.” she replied in a hasty voice unsure why she was explaining Hazel when hazel stared at Rafael whose face was cold.
“You can do that later. I need you to come with me.” he held the hands of Rafael and pulled him away from Diana who gritted her teeth as she stared botho f them leaving.
More than that, she hated the look in the eyes of Hazel when she stared at her.
“What are you doing hazel? I was busy working there.” Those were the last words of Rafael that fell into her ears before they turned towards the left and she could not see them anymore.
She gritted her teeth as she punched on the wall near her. It left a crack on the wall but Rafael did not come back.
Rafael looked at Hazel coldly who was still pulling him with her.
“Hazel what do you think you are doing?” he asked in a harsh tone as he jerked her hold from his hands away when they turned to look at him. Her eyes are colder too.
“I am trying to save you from the regrets you are going to have in the future.” she spat as she stared at him, “do you think i will believe that you were just going to work with Diana when she was leaning on your chest and taking you to her room. What is going on here Rafael?”
He stared at him intensely as if he did not understand what she was saying.
“Have you lost your feelings for me? Do you want to be with Diana now?” she asked in a cold and harsh voice when he stayed silent.
Strange pain started to throb his head as if someone was hammering it and anger started to rise in his chest.
“I don’t know what you are talking about? Are you doubting me?” This time his voice rose to several pitches when she shook her head.
“No! If i would have been doubting you, i would not have been asking you but would have been sure that you had done it. I am giving you a chance, rafael. Tell me what are you doing these days and what is wrong with you?” he closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, unsure of what was happening with him too.
“I..” she held him and started walking again to their room and closed the door.
There was no maid in the room as she had already asked them to leave.
Just as the door was locked, she turned to look back at Rafael who was leaning on the door now and staring back at her.
“So…?” he titled his head when she bit her lips.
“So what?” she snarled when he walked closer with unhurried steps like a predator who knew that his prey did not have a chance to run away.
He held her and pushed her on the wall and placed his both hands on each side.
“How was my acting? Was it enough to make her believe that I am fully in her control?” he asked when she chucked as she nodded her head.
They both were staring at each other fiercely but there was so much passion in their gaze that could burn anyone.
“Yes, I am sure she would be expecting you to slap me or push me away and then return to her arms and tell her that you only love her, not me.” her hands moved to his collar as she pulled him with full force, “but i am barely accepting your kisses to her. If you took another step closer to her, then I will forget that it was all an act and burn both of you for cheating on me!”
