Chapter 150 - My Future Wife!
The atmosphere inside the courtroom was freezing as if one movement would bring up any storm in here. Restless raspy breathing of a man could be heard in this stiff weather as the weeping silence engulfed the entire surrounding.
Esme's eyes didn't pull away from the furious man who was shooting her silent warning continuously. For a moment, she couldn't choose the right or wrong decision as she knew that Aaron had reached at the peak of his anger.
Refusing to provide him any answers, her self esteem provoked her to walk out from this courtroom silently. Thus giving him another cold glare, Esme turned around and walked few steps in order to leave the courtroom.
Her mind was stubborn full of agony today thus she didn't hesitate to annoy this ruthless man.
Aaron's mouth fell open in awe as he watched her daring steps towards the exit. His whole body quivered in anger but he didn't know which part of him was holding him back to not smash this woman's head right away.
Trembling and vibrating on his own anger, his raged eyes watched the heavy desk placed aside. Exhaling a deep sigh, he took a long stride on its way hastily. In a swish move, his grip went under the desk before gripping it hard.
Lifting it up in the air like a fluffy and weightless pillow, he threw it towards the exit like a running ball furiously.
A loud bang rang in the air of courtroom startling the frightened maids outside including the bold woman who dared to step outside. In a blink, the heavy desk had broken into uncountable pieces after bouncing against the hardwall.
With those broken pieces, it fell down just exactly in front of the exit creating a blocker for Esme who was about to walk out in a moment.
Turning froze immediately, Esme saw the chaos blankly before letting out a helpless sigh. Turning around, she watched the man standing in a stormy expression and was unapologetic over his unruly behavior.
Before her mouth could open up and say something, the man was vanished in the air under her watchful gaze leaving her stunned. Before her thoughts could register that what was going to happen, her back was thrashed against the rock wall behind.
She was startled at the sudden force on her collar bone suddenly and watched him with her widening eyes.
Aaron's vampire instinct had took over his sanity after being insulted by this woman and was craving to burst out like a bloodthirsty animal. Though his strength was suffocating her nearly, it didn't hurt her to that extent that she would die in suffocating. After all, it wasn't so easy to kill a blessed fairy who was worthy of a queen.
Breathing rapidly, Aaron whispered in a dangerous tone,
" You think that I can't hurt you,huh? You are showing off your guts too much."
Under his absorb behavior, Esme remained calm and wanted to give him time to vent out his anger peacefully. She was unresponsive and watched his eyeballs how it was turning darker and darker.
His head was leaning down close enough to touch her earlobe as she felt a chill running down through her spine. Gnashing his teeth together, Aaron continued in a husky calm voice,
" Tell me, where did you go? As long as you tell me the truth, I will let you go."
Esme gulped looking away from him and sutured,
" I told you that I went out to visit with Carol."
Aaron closed his eyes shut in a moment as he knew that she was lying openly over his face. Forced to calm down himself for a while, he whispered deeply holding the pain and bitterness in his tone,
" If you really wanted to just visit, you could have just told me once. My entire kingdom would come enthusiastically to pay you a visit but..."
He paused anger rising in his tongue,
" You chose to deceive me and the guards. Why?"
Esme replied calmly still looking over the broken pieces blankly,
" I just wanted privacy."
Aaron cracked into a disbelief laughter and watched her expression full of guilt. Nodding his head amusingly, he replied curling up into an evil smirk,
" You have learnt lying. How about I give you privacy in a dark room without foods or lights so that you can reflect on your mistake, Lady Esme Richards?"
Esme was stunned before meeting his enlarged eyes and knew that what he meant. Without pulling out her eyes from him, she whispered lowly ,
" As you wish,my lord but Carol is innocent. I forced her to accompany me. Keep her out of this."
Aaron didn't expect her to admit her punishment too fast as he kept staring at her face for a while. Returning to his firm attitude, he replied back compherensively,
" All right,as long as the criminal says that she did her crime alone, I can't punish others."
Esme sighed in relief and looked away from his burning eyes. Closing the inch gap between them, Aaron approached closer towards her body and sneered coldy,
" Remember, you have chosen this on your own,Lady Esme Richards."
Esme gulped down her saliva bitterly and answered looking up at his face deeply,
" Address me as Esme Watts then."
Aaron's face sank as he felt a sore pain inside his heart. Her words definitely carried another meaning that she was ready to break off this marital relationship anytime.
Feeling the piercing pain in his heart, Aaron fumed in rage and suddenly drifted apart from her pressed body. Maintaining a big distance between them, Aaron shouted loudly,
" Guards!!!!"
The gaurds were nearby outside as they happened to rush inside as soon as they heard his ringing voice. Watching the broken desk, their expression darkened darker before exchanging a questioning glance among each others.
Crossing the pieces cautiously and moved them aside, they came over Aaron fast and gave a long bow of fear.
Cleching his fists tightly, Aaron watched Esme's unfazed expression one last time and managed to spit out,
" Watch your lady towards the prisoner villa."
The head of guard was stunned before looking up at Aaron's face astounding. Wanting to reconfirm his hearing, he asked trembling all over,
" To..to... where, my lord?"
Aaron's gaze kept frozen over Esme and blurted out suddenly,
" Confinement Room. She needs privacy with herself."
The guards were all stunned before glancing back between this two stubborn people who didn't move away from their own decisions.
SASHA PALACE,
After everything happened recently, Athena was quite worried regarding Esme and Aaron's relationship. She couldn't help but feeling worried for his brother who was going to pay terribly for his own carelessness.
Sighing frequently, she watched the warm weather outside and counted the days before her marriage. Three days later, the engagement ceremony was finally going to happen but she had no happy feelings for a moment.
Lifting up her hand, Athena inspected the burning mark deeply as the pain inside her heart grew deeper. She knew that no matter what happens, she couldn't become the lawful wife of Ethan after all. It was too messy to become the wife of her lated husband's brother. At least, this world would give her the so called tag name " Slut" who seduced both brothers.
Sometimes it's better to let go before the pain turns deeper. Morever she didn't quite understand Ethan's feelings which changed frequently more faster then wind probably.
Behind her, Siemus was sitting down over the bed and watched her back deeply. She was still hesitating to reveal the information that Esme had a daughter with Ron. She couldn't distinguish the right and wrong decision thus still kept her lips sealed.
Just at that moment, the noise of maids started coming out from the corridor as Siemus quickly vanished away from there. Even Athena looked back over the door curiously at their sudden commotion.
Standing still, she watched the doorway blankly as the maids quickly rushed in giggling shyly. Bowing their heads a little, one of the maid informed blushing like a newly wedded bride,
" Princess, Mister Zave has come to visit you. He is waiting for your arrival downstairs."
Athena's expression sank as her gaze narrowed curiously. Waving her hands dismissively, she gestured them to leave before pondering for a while.
She couldn't understand why did Zave suddenly want to meet her!! But she couldn't refuse to visit him as it would be too impolite.
Flashing away those thoughts forcefully, she drapped the shawl around her body tightly and headed downstairs reluctantly.
After coming in front of the guest room, she pondered once again before entering timidly.
Inside the room, Zave was standing in her retro suite crossing his arms in the back and observed the paintings hanging in the wall.
Clearing her throat gently, Athena called out from back,
" Mm.. Mister Zave? "
Zave turned around naturally and was bewitched momentarily. He didn't see Athena for a while thus he didn't know that she had become so beautiful in this years. He forgot to pull away his eyes from her alluring face.
Athena felt a little weird and asked looking away,
" Is there any reason to visit me?"
Zave replied subconsciously still drooling over her beauty,
" Why? Should be there any reason to visit my future wife?"
