"Are you going to punish them?" She asked innocently. "Do you want me to?" He smirked. "I don't know..." She sighed. "I don't like when people get hurt but they always hurt me." She looked at him while resting on his chest. "Do you know what happened?" His jaw clenched in pain when he saw the pain in her eyes. He wrapped an arm around her as she started speaking. "My parents used to punish me instead of Aria... She used to make all the mistakes and I used to get all the punishment for it. One day my father locked me in the garage the whole night as a punishment and I was so scared... I cried loudly when I heard scary sounds from outside, ther

He was about to touch her but a large hand wrapped around his around arm and pulled him back. "Don't touch her, she is getting punished..." He froze when he heard his father. "Look at her carefully, you little shit" His evil voice whispered to him. "This is the right way to give punishment... Take it as a lesson, the one who betray will meet the terrified end..." Little Rafael was completely in shock as the child inside him died when he saw his mother's scream dying down and the melted body hit the ground.

She gulped and sat up, as soon as she moved her head felt heavy and throbbed with dizziness. She grabbed her head and hissed. She tried to recall what happened last night but she only remembered Katrina coming in front of her as a Catherine then she couldn't do anything about it and started drinking. The last thing she could recall was gulping down the alcohol in his car. She has no idea what she did after that or probably passed out and because of that she can't remember anything. "Hurting?" He asked. She looked at him and nodded. "Yes! What happened last night?" She gulped, praying that she didn't do anything to piss him off for which he will make her pay now. "Nothing, you just had fun last night" He chuckled. He grabbed the juice from the tray which Katrina brought and took a sip of it. When he was sure

He ordered and she quickly placed the glass down making his smirk wide. Her hands were shaking, not understanding why they are dining out in the five star restaurant. Their table is the best table in the restaurant and the view is worth all the time. The night could have been romantic if it wasn't for the devil sitting in front of her. "If I didn't know you better, I would have thought that you were cold" He mocked, noticing her tremble. "Why are we here?" She asked fiddling her fingers in her lap. "Dinner!" He replied while grabbing his glass of amber liquid. She opened her mouth to speak but closed ag

She could feel his muscles moving under his coat. She gulped but released a throaty moan when he bit on her neck and rubbed his hardness on her. The door was wide open and she was nervous that someone might come but Rafael didn't seem to give a single fuck. He sucked on her lips and looked at her as they both heavily panted. "Why do you drive me crazy every single time?" His hand slid under the slit of her dress, making her still against the wall. She yelped when he tore her panties and circled her clit. She bit her lips and clutched on his shoulders tightly. "Rafael!" She cried in pleasure when he rubbed the exact spot. "That's my girl, moan my name..." He praised. "Scream my name until you realise that there is nothing else but you and I..." She looked at the open door nervously when he released the knot of her

"Aren't you going to tail behind your chosen human?" She mocked and Shadow ignored her. Aurora sighed and picked her up, held her up to her face level and looked into her eyes. Shadow stared back at her blankly. "Why do you choose him?... Why is every female crazy behind him except me?... Tell me!" She asked and Shadow hissed at her. "Looks like you are picking up his attitude too... Traitor!" She placed her down and huffed. Aurora stopped when she heard faint music and the sound of bells. She curiously followed the melodious sound. She forgot the count of hallways and pillars she passed to follow the sound. With each step, the sound got louder.

"Why would you free the enemy?" I looked at her confused. "Enemy?" "Oh cut the crap... I already knew you were with Rafael for some motive... Who are you?" She frowned at me. "What are you saying?"

Aurora broke the hug. "He just walked away... He didn't even try to stop her" She sobbed. "Because he can't say anything" Katrina sighed. "For years these rules are being followed and as a king Rafael has to follow them.. if he will break the rules then no one will respect him, people will think that he is weak and it's not good... He has responsibilities" Aurora looked at her in disbelief. "Punishing people brutally is what his responsibility is?" "No!" She shook her head. "People in our world are criminals, Aurora...
