~~~~~~~~~~~~
Siemus was extremely worried about Ethan's going down and tried to block his path reminding sternly,
" Prince Ethan, you can't appear in front of her now. It's an unforgivable sin. Why do you insist on meeting her right now?"
Ethan halted in his tracks and gave Siemus a cold glare while responding,
" She owes me more than what am I doing now. If you don't let me down and cover up for me, I'm going to meet her in presence of everyone in the castle. Now you choose Siemus that which way you would prefer!"
He declared his final words and stared back at Siemus's face sternly that made her difficult to figure out which way would be more safe. Biting down her own lips in agony, she replied in a low voice,
" You.. you can go to meet her now but please don't break the ritual or esle queen mother will be very mad on her. Meanwhile I will be guarding over the maids for you. The pool is situated at the remote corner. Eventually they won't bother to wander over there unless princess summons any of them. "
Ethan hummed coldly and turned around to leave without speaking further. Putting on a downcast expression, he strode downstairs through the backside stairs and reached at the corridor first.
Wandering his eyes around, he was assured that no one was around thus quickly made his way according to Siemus's instructions. The corridor was long and one side walled leading him direct towards the discerned pool where Athena supposed to be. The brands were hanging in the wall burning and lightening up the whole space that made his path more smooth.
Reaching near the entrance of pool, he paused in his tracks before exhaling a few restless sighs. Even till now, he couldn't understand the reason of coming here abruptly.
He hated Athena from the core of his heart and that was the unavoidable truth in his mind. But at the thought of her marriage, he couldn't accept it all and made absorb decisions in his mind.
If he couldn't stay happy, why must he let her be happy with someone else? If they can't have a happy ending, why can't they suffer together?
Along with this wicked thoughts wandering in his mind, he took the final step of trespassing inside the indoor area of poolside. As soon as he entered after locking the door cautiously, his heart sank spotting the inviting back of a lady inside the water.
Inside the pool, Athena was sat down leaning against the edge of pool leisurely. She was only wearing her lingerie that covered her two sensitive spots barely. Under the neon lights of lambs and shimmering moonlight, her soaked back appeared more sensual as if she was a sleeping goddess appearing out with her breathtaking beauty slowly. Her silky shining hairs were whipped aside glistening more under the warmness of various lights that couldn't be avoided. From her back view, her momentum seemed calm and indifferent as if she wasn't bothered about doing this so called rituals.
In a moment, Ethan's breathing hitched as he felt like his heart pounding fast inside his chest. Averting his eyes from her back, he inhaled deep breath to control his arousing emotions and kept mute.
On the contrary, Athena was non bothered about everything around. Half of her body was dived under water and it felt really warm. Her abysmal gaze laid glued on the surface of water as she vaguely reminded the memories with Edward before marriage.
Momentarily she forgot that the first man of her life had gone for forever and formed a sweet smile on her lips subconsciously. Unfortunately this smile was noticed by the enlarged man behind who was intending to call her out.
Watching her joyful attitude, he turned more furious and clenched his fists tightly.
He couldn't stay cool for a single day after aparting from her but she was smiling happily on her pre ritual day? How can she forget about him so easily?
Unfolding his fists fast, his raged gaze fell upon his own fingers as a vicious smirk played on his lips. Without making a single sound, he quickly torn off his clothes silently before approaching near the pool tiptoeing cautiously.
With a splash, he landed down inside the water startling the girl who was still in daze. Athena was stunned before widening her eyes in shock as soon as she spotted the most unexpected man in her life that she thought of never meeting in this entire life.
Athena's mouth fell open in awe as she kept staring at his wrathful face blankly. Eventually her heart filled with joy and mixed feelings that she couldn't describe in a word.
On the flip side, Ethan remained calm as his fired gaze observed her expression going pale eventually. For a moment, he really wished to forget every hated reasons that was laid between them. He wanted to hug her badly and tell her how much he needed her beside him.
But how can he forget the fact that this woman was the reason behind his bother's death and apparently Esme's ban from her clan?
He wrecked in his mind and kept staring at her as thousand feelings roamed across his mind. The atmosphere was stiff and awkward between them as if time had stopped and they only had them in their eyes.
Regaining her usual composure, Athena spoke first breaking the dense silence,
" You.. you.. How come you are here, Prince Ethan?"
She clutched her upper body shyly and sutured,
" It's not decorous to sneak inside a woman's bathroom all of sudden."
She mumbled before reaching behind to grab her towel but her hands were pulled back harshly. She screamed before facing the man with horror and heard his furious tone,
" Huh? Princess Athena is playing Saint in front of me? Tell me how many personalities that you have exactly?"
Athena endured the rubbing pain on her arms as she replied coldly,
" Don't behave so unreasonably, Ethan. I have nothing to say you. Instead you should explain to me that why did you come here! Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with me? "
Ethan bited down his lips tightly and rebuked angrily,
" Huh! You think that I care about your damn ritual? I come back to seize the favour from you that you said before. I need the information regarding the vampire force. Regarding you, I have no interest at all."
Athena closed her eyes gently and held back the stabbing pain arousing from her heart. She should have guessed that he had come to avenge for his brother not for her.
Looking away from his face, she responded opening her eyes lowly,
" In that case, you need to get out of the pool now and wait for my ritual to come an end. I can't leave halfway."
Ethan's expression sank immediately and tightened the grips on her arms while asking,
" Why can't you get off? Oh right, you want to appear in front of your husband neat and clean. Tell me, does he know that you have marked me already? "
Athena felt humiliated and managed to spit out angrily,
" Shut up Ethan! I will fix everything! You don't need to bother. "
Ethan sneered leaning over her face and said,
" Why won't I bother? Didn't you use me as your bed warmer? Didn't you mark me as yours? Tell me, how will I answers my future wife regarding the vampire mark? "
Athena looked up at him remorsefully. She knew that she had committed a crime that couldn't be undone easily now. But hearing his concern for his future wife, she felt a dagger stabbing her heart viciously.
Lowering her gaze in guilt, she spoke whispering softly,
" I'm sorry.. I know that it was my fault. I shouldn't have marked you.. In exchange, you can demand anything from me. I will try my best to repay you."
Ethan chuckled coldly and asked back,
" Anything?"
Athena looked up to meet his cold gaze and nodded hesitantly,
" Yes... Anything..! "
Ethan's expression relaxed a bit as he demanded coldly,
" Then get out of the pool and leave this ritual undone. "
Athena was astounded,
" What??"
Ethan continued coldly while lifting up her drenched hand gently,
" There's more!"
Before Athena could register his words, an expensive ring was put on inside her ring finger swiftly.
Athena looked up in horror at their intertwined fingers blankly and watched Ethan's nonchalant face as if he wasn't doing anything unusual.
Before Athena could stop her, she cried out in pain as she felt her ring finger burning like fire.
She screamed out loudly snatching her hand back and looked down at her fingers deeply. Holding back the shrill sobbing, she mumbled,
" Silver Ring!"
She gritted her teeth together and shouted looking up at Ethan's vacant expression,
" E.. Ethan... you.. what have you done? We are allergic to silver.. It will leave a forever mark on my finger.."
Ethan sneered coldly and responded clutching her soaked jawline,
" Marking you as mine for forever. Congratulations, you are the first bride who have got an imperishable ring on her finger. "
Athena choked asking back whispering,
" Why.. why must you do it to me?"
Ethan replied indifferently,
" Because I hate you."
