Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“Why are there so many councilmen? I thought you have already arranged for two councilmen that would come and support us?” Estella spoke through gritted teeth as she glared at Vincent.

He had lured her into a trap and now she was caught.  He had told her that he would kill Hazel and put the blame on her husband.

That way she would get rid of all the thorns at once and could enjoy the sole power of the empress until he could be the emperor and even then, she was going to have more of the powers as his supporter.

Her husband was a womanizer who had never stopped looking at other women. He already had two illegitimate children in the palace and only god knew how many were there in the empire.

She felt nauseated when he still touched her after sleeping with so many other women that she was tempted by his offer.

Even if he would not give her more power, she was fine with her current position and just wanted to get rid of her scumbag husband and that girl!

She never had hard feelings for her until she dared to put her son into the prison. Just because she married a vampire lord, she thinks that she was more powerful than her._-.

Estela did not like to be challenged by her. So, she wanted to teach her a lesson too. Though death was too harsh, it is not like Hazel was doing any good by staying alive.

They have planned everything meticulously but now.. She was not sure anymore when Hazel stood up in a few hours like nothing had happened and her husband was still sitting and discussing the matter with the council.

More than that Rafael! The way he was smiling warmly, she was having a foreboding feeling about it. The vampire was not to trifle with it.

As if he knew that it was not her husband but her who had tried to kill hazel.

“Would you keep your mouth shut, mother? Could you not see that we are in the middle of a meeting and you want us to discuss everything here.

You can as well take the stage and shout so that they can drag you out.” Vincent replied with a look of contempt in his eyes as he gave one side glance to his mother and then focused on the meeting again.

He had lied to her about the death of Hazel. He never wanted to kill her but show her that he’s the one in power here so that she would be one of his women.

She had a special charm that always brought the possessive and predatory side of a man. He was sure there were many men behind her like her husband and that slave of her.

But he wanted her all for himself and to get rid of his father but that was not the last goal. He had more plans in his mind and he had made sure that he would be able to complete them without a hitch.

But this Rafael! He had invited the whole council here and these damned people decided to visit on such short notice.

And that damn hazel, she tried to attack him with those daggers.

Ha! Did she think that it would be enough? When all the women would be killed in the fire, she would be the one to blame and then he would tell the truth that she had poisoned herself.

Then he would see how the council would stop him from dragging her to the underground prison of his palace.

Then he would have his way with her and torment her all her life.

He could always apologize or give poison to his father and put the blame on hazel.

She had done it because she failed in sending him to the prison. That would be a perfect story that everyone would believe.

But for that, he had to get rid of this vampire first.

“The poison was given by your staff and in your presence. How could you not know about it?

Are you saying that you are not liable for the accidents that happened in your palace?

If you could not handle a small place then how would you handle an empire? You should leave your position if you are that clueless about the world.”  a man in a black coat with his hair well combed, spat in a cold tone as he stared at the emperor with a look of contempt in his eyes.

“What do you mean? Accidents happened all this while. Do you mean you can take the responsibility of everyone in the council if you are the head of there for now.”  asked George back, he was not going to accept the defeat.

“What if that girl had poisoned herself under the orders of the vampire so that he could blame us and use it as a chance to break the treaty?

Vampires are known for their mesmerizing and hypnotizing abilities anyway. Which woman has been able to escape from their charm?

As a main character of the accident. Shouldn’t she be here and tell what happened exactly. But she is not even in the palace?

I want to know if a person that is poisoned should be roaming around the city alone on the very same day?

It was all an act, a ploy, not only against me but the whole human species by these vampires.

If not, call her and ask her how she was not even feeling sick.” George snorted as he looked at Rafael with the same look of the councilman but Rafael was unfazed as if the words were not falling into his ears anymore.

He was lost in his whole small world.

“So, are you saying that Hazel had access to your staff and physician of your palace in advance that they decided to side with her and betray you?

How would she even be able to do that when stayed in her room all day?”
