Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

————————————————-

‘Damn! Could you not see I am trying to act smug! Why are you thinking so much? I am your wife, you scumbag!’ she cursed him in her heart as he raised a brow but took no initiative to hold her hands or even a nod would do.

But if refused in front of Diana, she swore she would take revenge. There is already so much vengeance against him that she did not know what she would do if he increased it.

“My feet are also in pain, Raffaaeeelll, I am not able to stand up for so long. If you will not help, i might fall soon.” She deliberately shifted her weight from one feet to another as she said so. Her eyes were telling him she was going to create a scene further if he would not give in to her whims when finally he sighed.

“Come here.” holding his waist, he took her in his arms with a helpless face. “I will discuss the rest with you later. Go and have some rest, you have covered a long journey.” Diana who was staring at Hazel all this time with shock filled eyes finally turned to look at Rafael and nodded her head with an amiable smile on her face.

Her face looked dignified and gave a mature vibe, just opposite to Hazel who looked no less than a kid who had her fun playing in mud and now throwing a tantrum._.

Hazel wiggled her eyebrows suggestively as she folded her hands on his neck and looked behind at Diana who was still staring at them.

She felt so happy when she saw the calmness in her eyes getting cracked. She only turned her head back when she could not see Diana anymore only to notice that Rafael was staring back at her with the piercing look in his eyes but instead of explaining she only blinked innocently.

Taking her back to the room, he opened the door with a kick. The maids flinched but came forward to help him when he shook his head.

“Leave!” One word was enough to chase all of them away.

“Who will help me in taking bath then?” she asked as they entered. she had thought that he would immediately let her go from his arms but that did not happen.

“Umm, there is no one in the room.” She tried to break free from his arms but surprisingly, his gentle hold was strong enough like iron. She was not able to break free.

He did not stop in the room but took her straight to the washroom. Her eyes widened when he closed the door with a kick. The door closed with a thud and she felt that it was locked too.

“So, you can stop acting now and let me go!”  she added when he continued to stare at her but did not let her go.

He just raised a brow challenging her.

“What is it?” her feet that were dangling in the air started struggling as she glared back at him. He was only trying to tease Diana because she did not like how she taunted her.

“Didn’t you say that you need my help in bathing?” his smooth and velvety tone rang in her ears, making her whole body turn stiff.

“I can only fulfill your wish. Why are you getting so annoyed?” huh! Her wish? Could he not see that she was only trying to show off Diana.

“That.. I was the only..”

“I will never go back on my words, hazel. Since i have promised you that i will help you in taking bath. Then I would. Now.. the dress is too dirty. Why did we not get rid of it first?”

“…………..”

“……….” she opened her mouth but closed it again as she did not know how to reply. She had never thought that he would take her words seriously when he had always been smart enough to follow her thought process.

“How can I ask a lord to wash me? I am not that impudent. I will ask for maids, they will help me. You can leave and do your necessary tasks, your time is too precious for me.” a bit of resentment could be felt when she whispered the last line.

Her eyes looked away as if she wanted to hide the emotions brewing in it. In the last two days, she had faced a lot but not even once he was there to help her and support her.

She would never accept out loud, but her heart knew that she missed him and hoped that he would come there somehow and help her. But this was not a fairytale but reality.

And the reality was.. He was a lord who was only here to end the rebellion, not because he loved or cared for her.

But just because she did know the reality, did not mean that she did not get affected by it. A bitter taste filled her mouth when she remembered it.

“I can not dare to order you, my lord. So, please let me go and leave.” his brows furrowed as he knew it was not a light teasing anymore but her bitter voice was telling that she was hurt.

“If you say so!” he let go of his hands but instead of helping her in standing up, he just let her go making her eyes widened as she fell in the process.

She closed her eyes and waited for her butt to touch the hard floor but instead the sound of splash filled the room.

The water splashed on the floor when her body bounced in the water. Before she could hold the tub and come out. She felt his hands on her back again.

“A commoner may not ask the lord to help her. But a wife could ask husband anything. And as your husband, it is my responsibility to help you.

So, shall we get rid of this dress now. Hmmm?”
