Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord-Chapter 513 - [Bonus chapter]
513 [Bonus chapter]
“Where did you get it from?” he asked, pressuring this time that even the child realized there was something wrong.
He stood up in front of his mother as if guarding her from him.
“We have not stolen it, i promise it is ours.” he assured but Damien kept staring at the woman when she tried to stand up but failed.
“This belonged to me. My mother had given me to pass it to my kids. She had told me that it held great power and one of them would use it for the welfare of their coven.” she explained with a sigh when Damien stared at the necklace again.
“Who is your husband?” the effect of his question was peculiar, her eyes shook and her face paled as if he had asked her to die when he walked closer.
“I do not mean harm. Answer this last question and i will leave.” he promised when the woman finally shook her head. She was not going to answer it even if she had to give her life.
“Alright, what is the name of your daughter?” he asked after a pause when she finally took a seep sigh and a sob escaped her lips. He knew who she was!
“I did not want to meet her. She is happy that way.” the kid stared at both of them confused when Damien felt his chest getting heavier, “i request you to not tell her, but even if you do, i will not meet her. It will only break her heart. So, it would be better that she live the way she is living. She seem to be happy now that she was away from her past.”
“.......” Damien looked at the woman and then ran out of the house. With his speed, there was no way that the child could catch upto him.
.....
Damien ran and ran only to stop when he had reached the palace.
“Where is Rafael?” he asked the guard who stood straighter.
“My lord is in the council. Lord Michael had called him.” Damien nodded, knowing the condition was worsening, the human councilman must be worried for his race. He hesitated for a second before asking.
“And where is lady hazel?” the guard looked baffled at his question.
“Umm, didnt the lady go with you, my lord?” Damien nodded and walked in.
It only meant that she had yet not returned from her quest. He walked in but soon changed his path and walked towards the underground prison where Diana was kept.
When he walked in she was sitting with her eyes closed and only opened then when he walked closer.
How much change had come in just a few days. Her cheeks were sunken, her face looked haggard and aged and the glimmer in her eyes had lost.
She only gave him a glance before closing her eyes again.
“You can leave. I want to spend some alone time with him.” he asked the guards who exchanged looks but looked hesitant to leave when his eyes turned colder.
“What are you afraid of? You can hear if she tried to run away!” he said and then added, “do you think you can keep her confined if she wants to run away?” he asked when the guards bowed their heads and left.
“You did not need to warn them. And why did you want to get rid of them?” she shook her head and closed her eyes, ” I have already told you that it was my fault. I killed my mother and I am going to pay for it with my own life.”
“I saw Hazel’s mother today.”
“.......” her eyes widened and she stared at him with shock.
“I thought Rafael killed that witch. I was there too. Did she run away again?” Through disbelief, her eyes shook and she stood up and ran to her brother while holding the bars tightly as if she was cheated when he shook his head.
“No! I meant the woman who gave birth to her in this life. Her biological mother!” The reply still made Diana silent who had thought she had won the trump card.
“Brother! Hazel is not what it seems. I know that you like her and are interested in her but I will warn you to stay away from her. She can cause harm.” Her words were vague but his eyes hardened as he held the bars with the intention of breaking them apart.
“Don’t! You will be blamed too. They both are too powerful. We can not go against them.” she shook her head with despair.
“What if we have a weakness! I am sure Hazel would be lacking the warmth of her mother. What if we can use that woman to get our freedom?” he asked when she looked aghast.
“Brother! That would be betrayal to Rafael.” she warned but her brother only scoffed.
“He had betrayed our family first. The blood of my mother had even all the debts we held. Now it is only you and me.” he tried to touch her face but the bars stopped him when she sighed and nodded her head.
“Then you have to bring the woman here or take me to her. I am sure we will find a way together.” he nodded his head as they soon devised a plan to bring that woman here with the excuse of her son and Damien assured the teary Diana that he would handle everything and she did not need to worry about a thing when she told him that she would support him to. They had never been this harmonious ever.
But when he left, the tears on her eyes were gone and a smirk returned. She touched the tear in her eyes and flicked it as she looked at him leaving with her eyes turning evil.
“Oh brother! I never knew that you loved me so much or I would not have been here. But don’t worry, I will return your kindness. As soon as I come out, I will free you from all this trouble.”
