2024-12-01 10:50:46Arabella was sipping on her blood-laced tea before someone was knocking on her door. She turned to look at the door before she stood up from the divan that she was sitting on and put her tea down.
“Come in,” she instructed before she was smoothing her skirts. The door opened and her visitor was coming in with her butler as well as her husband.
“My love, I want you to meet my best friend,” Aiden said before Arabella was smiling at her husband.
“It is an honor to be meeting with you today, Your Highness,” the young man in a black suit bowed at her before she gripped Aiden’s arm.
“Oh, please, drop the formality. You can call me Arabella,” the young queen said before the young man smiled as he straightened up.
“Then, you can call me Lucien,” he said before he went to take Arabella’s hand and kissed her knuckles. She turned to look at Aiden as her husband was smiling before they wer

Daniel did not expect that Lady Caroline Hurst would have claws. But she did and she used it to slap his face. Everything was getting numb but he did not acknowledge that he was intrigued to get to know her even better.“Caroline, what are you doing?!” Lady Hurst was getting paranoid when her daughter was slapping a Viscount, nonetheless has a connection to the queen by being on the Higher Court.Or so they seem to forget about that now.“I am so sorry, my lord, for my daughter’s behavior. She was not supposed to be acting like a spoiled brat,” Lord Hurst stated when Caroline was still glaring at him. Daniel smiled before he pulled Caroline to his side.Might as well get used to it, kitten, Daniel mused when Caroline was glaring at him. Then, Daniel turned to look at the old couple.“It’s no big deal. We are nothing but jesting with each other. Caroline was so happy that she had to slap me to think

Caroline was looking around as she felt conscious of the body heat next to her. She never encountered someone who would like to put his hands on her body as much as her husband, Viscount Daniel Cutler.She was greeting the guests that were coming to their reception with Daniel as she was smiling when Daniel was introducing her to his friends, relatives, and families. Caroline learned that her husband was a very influential man when she was greeting his friends from the Higher Court.“My dear, this is Niklaus Dragomir and his wife, Rebecca, Duke, and Duchess of Belikov. They are also related to the queen Arabella,” Daniel said as he turned to look at her. One thing that Caroline noticed, her husband loved to look at her face as if she would disappear if he did not.Maybe I will, she mused before she was smiling at the duke and the duchess that were standing in front of her so regally. They might be the next royal couple if anything happened t

After the reception and saying goodbye to her parents, Caroline made her way to the bedchamber that she would be sharing with the master of the house now. She was now Lady Caroline Cutler, Viscountess of Stonelockteco.She was looking at the maid who was opening her bedchamber and stepped into the room. It was lightened by the candle and gas lamps that made the room appear to be sensual and alluring.Caroline gulped. Oh dear, I think I might have stepped into a lion’s den now, she mused before she stiffened when the dressing door was opened and Daniel stepped into the bedchamber, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.He was still oblivious to Caroline before he turned to look at the door of the bedchamber and stilled as he saw his wife in her wedding gown. Caroline held her chin up as if to challenge him to say anything at all.But he did not.Daniel Cutler ignored her as he went to put on his nightshirt and when Caroline did

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Caroline was thinking about what she was doing right now when she was straddling her husband’s lap and pulled him into a kiss.She hadn’t been planning to seduce him in such a manner but just looking at him in the study room with nothing but a white shirt that was rolled at his sleeves, Caroline knew that she was in trouble.And she was liking the softness of his lips under hers right now.Every thought that she ever had about her husband like how he trapped her into this marriage and how Daniel was trying to marry her under weird circumstances, Caroline cannot deny that she was attracted to him.Moreover, she was dying to get underneath his skin and she was willing to play dirty. And right now, she was however the one that was pulling Daniel to lose control. Her husband broke the kiss but she kept on kissing his jaws and throat.“Caroline, are you sure about—”“Ju

Daniel was looking at his wife’s happy face as she was smiling in her sleep. Caroline was leaning against his chest as her blonde mane was spreading across her pillow. She snuggled closer as Daniel was shifting in his position. That earned a smile on his lips.Daniel never looked close enough at his wife like he did right now, the dusk was fast approaching as they just spent their night together as husband and wife. He would never think that the woman who slapped him in the face when he first kissed her in the garden would be the one who seduced him last night.And Caroline said she loved him as well. That should say something, right?Daniel was looking at the dark lashes that were fluttering against the pale complexion of his wife’s cheeks before he was looking at the straight nose. Then, he dipped lower, looking at the swollen lips that had known every inch of his body last night.And his lips that have known all of her plains in re

Daniel stepped lightly into the meeting room that had been designed for this meeting. It was the request of the young queen Arabella that she wanted to meet with all the leaders of the supernatural other than Vampyre.And they were all wearing some kind of mask in front of their faces.There were 4 leaders excluding Arabella and her husband, Aiden, who were looking at them warily but the young queen just smiled as she was greeting the leaders.“Welcome, fellow monarchs. I hope you have a pleasant journey to come to the capital?” she asked as the leaders were looking at her before some of them nodded.Some remained passive.Daniel shifted in his seat as he was sitting between Tom and an empty chair beside him. It was reserved for his cousin, Baron of Fell, and apparently, he was not invited to this meeting.But Daniel was wrong on that matter when someone stepped into the meeting room after the queen was smiling at the leaders.

Caroline did not know what to expect when she was coming to see her husband in the capital of Niapachad Island, Royal Molftus. She had been riding for one day and a half as she was pushing the horse and herself to the limit to meet her husband.Her heart ached to see Daniel and surprised him.But what she saw instead when she stepped into the Stone Tower was that her husband had a tryst with a woman who was kissing his lips in front of his friends. She blinked her eyes as she was trying to confirm that it was not her illusion or her tiredness playing tricks on her.No, it has been real. Too real.She was too stunned to do anything when the woman passed beside her in the hallway before she heard her smirking at her.“Have fun with a used toy, slut,” she whispered to her before she went away, leaving Caroline numbed all the way around, more than she was riding the horse for one day and a half.She gulped before she steeled her hear

Caroline was blinking her eyes when she saw that her husband’s eyes were the different color that she used to look at. It was not the vivid greens that she loved but rather, it was an endless pool of black holes.Sweet God, he was a Vampyre!Caroline knew enough about the gentry that was rumored to have Porphyria which was believed to be affecting them for generations now. It was known to be the main cause of their sickness in their adolescence and when they survived, they have never been the same.She just could not put through what her husband has in his bloodline.But of course, he was a gentry, I might have to suspect that he would bear the disease even if I don’t need to ask him, Caroline mused before she was looking at Daniel’s handsome face.His face was close enough to her as she laid back on the mattress as Daniel trapped her underneath her. If they were in different circumstances, Caroline would be happ

ARABELLAIf I knew my geography right, there would be a nice, quaint village on the southeast of Royal Molftus, the capital of Niapachad Island. I was moving quietly toward the stables where they keep all the horses that were used by the royalties and where my mare was being kept.I was lurking in the shadows before I sensed the guards that were patrolling the parameter. I held my breath before I heard that they were talking with each other about some stupid games and some women who would be warming their beds tonight.If they finished their shifts early.I rolled my eyes at their notions before I made my move toward the stable. I slipped through the back door as there was no one expecting me from there. I closed the door and I was greeted by the smell of hays and horse dung.Worse combination ever.I was making my way toward the stall that housed my mare. I patted his nose before he was neighing against my hand. I shu

ARABELLA“It is a shame that our king and queen were lost and drowned in the shipwreck. Our condolences to Princess Arabella and the Duke of Belikov,” someone from the Higher Court said as I was holding the champagne in my hand. I smiled before I nodded at him and drank my wine. ItWas bubbly but nothing was much worse than pretending that I wanted to be here.I just wanted to be left alone but of course, Niklaus will not let me have my moment.After that, the Lords of the Higher Court were looking at each other before I put the glass down. Then, Lord Davenport spoke as he cleared his throat.“Princess, as we all know, you are in mourning for two weeks and I understand if you think this discussion will not be gracing your ears, but I must insist that you will hear it nonetheless,” he said before I was looking at him, arching my eyebrows.“And what matter is it that you are trying to tell m

ARABELLAI don’t know what to say but to stare at the bodies that the royal guards assured me. I was not going to cry, but when Niklaus hugged me and told me to be strong, tears were starting to accumulate in my eyes.Heat swelled behind them before I was blinking my eyes as I turned to look at my cousin. He was looking solemn before he was patting my shoulder.“Stay strong, Ara. You know you can do it,” he said before I turned to see that he had ordered the guards to put the king and queen’s bodies away before the funeral tomorrow. I looked after the white sheets that covered them and as always, the tears were not coming out.I will not cry. I will be strong. I cannot let them beat me, I reminded myself before I took a deep breath and I went out of the hallway as I was going to my room. Preferably to sleep it off and just to think this was a nightmare.A real nightmare.The next morning came, and I h

Marsh went into the study room and he went up to the decanter that has all sorts of poison for his choice. He took the rum and poured it down into a glass before he was sipping it in one go, leaving a burning taste of it inside his throat.He stopped his glass midway when he was turning on all his senses to hear something. Someone was coming for him and it took all his might not to turn to look at the lady that has been attracting his attention from the start.Marsh knew that it was not good for her and himself if he was to deny their attraction to one another. It was one thing that he hated about the match that was being made by the queen.He sighed before he was sipping on the rum as his wife was making her way into the study room.“You’re wrong,” she said as she was panting when she was coming to stand in the doorway as Marsh was trying to ignore the demon that wanted to claim her inside him.’Mine,’ it sai

Ava was sipping on the wine as the ladies were talking with each other and she was one of them as well. The Duchess of Belikov, Becca was smiling as her best friend, Emily, the marchioness of Kain were talking with each other.“I cannot believe that Daniel’s cousin is finally married. And here we are trying to figure out the man myself but here we are talking to his wife right now. How do you not know that your husband’s cousin was in town, Caroline?” the ladies asked my best friend before she shrugged.“Hey, I am not in this family for so long and I am not his maid. Daniel did not know that he was getting married until we had the invitation,” Caroline said as she was sipping on the wine. I smiled.“At least, we will not be playing with the queen’s matchmaking anymore. It was hard when she wanted our husbands to find a bride and to think that she had a say in anything,” Jessie said as she was shaking her head. I pondered on that.“Yeah, Niklaus and I met

Ava has been flustered after the vows that they exchanged in the church earlier. She could not think straight as she was trying to make sure that everything was going exactly like she planned for Marsh to be surprised when she walked down the aisle in a sensual dress and the men were looking at her.She managed that moment as Marsh was not talking to her after the vows and when they had to leave for their reception, he was still not talking to her. Not in the carriage, certainly not when they have to greet their guests for their wedding celebration.Not until Marsh was planning something to her for going against his wish with the wedding gown.“Welcome, how are you? Where is Harold?” Marsh greeted Lord Davenport and his wife as they were coming through the front door of their fortress. Ava sighed inwardly as she knew tonight would be the first night for her to be spending at her new household, in which she was the mistress.Not her mother.

Ava walked to the study room that her mother insisted she come. She just got out of the bath and she was ready to take on a new thought before she heard some conversation inside the room. And it was about her, none the wiser.“…I will be in touch then, Lord Randolph,” the familiar voice came from inside the room as the servant opened the door for Ava to enter. It was her mother who spotted her first before she was greeting her.“Ava, dear, would you like some tea? His Lordship was about to leave as he thought he would not be meeting you,” her mother said with a glistening shine in her eyes that made Ava want to know what they were talking about in the first place. She was aware that it was about her, so might as well get some information about it.“You waited for me?” Ava asked Marsh as she was locking her eyes with his. He smiled before her mother was fussing over them and they were not the only ones that wanted to be

Marsh was looking at himself in the mirror, standing from head to toe. He sighed as he was tying the cravat onto his neck. This is not what I had in mind when I was coming back here, hosting a dinner party for the queen and her seneschal, Marsh thought before a knock disturbed him.“Come in,” he said before the old butler was coming into the bedchamber. He was smiling at him before the butler bowed to him.“The guests are here, my lord,” the old man said as Marsh was nodding at him. He was looking at himself for the last time before he took the cravat and put it inside his waistcoat.“Are the seneschal and his family here as well?” he asked the butler before the old man nodded.“Aye, my lord. And the daughter is a pretty one. I think the young queen has chosen well,” the butler said as Marsh frowned at him. If the butler did not know about this matter, Marsh would certainly make some other arrangement as wel

Ava was smiling at the carriage ride as she was holding hands with Marsh right now. She did not know when this developed but after that kiss that they shared, she knew that she was being courted by this lord.Is this what it felt like to be courted to marry? Ava smiled as she felt the hand that was squeezing hers. She turned to look at Marsh before he smiled upon her.“I see that you are quite content with yourself, darling,” he said as he used the endearment that was only reserved for someone dear to them. And right now, Marsh was using that on her. Her heart was beating fast before she blushed and smiled shyly as Marsh was pulling her closer.This is heaven, Ava mused before she was looking at the mansion that was standing still in front of her. She gave the directions to get to her house but she did not classify which one was hers.She just hoped that Marsh did not want to come and greet her parents. She was not ready for
