He went after her and saw that she had soaked herself in warm water in the tub and was resting her head on the side. Her eyes were closed as if she was still thinking about something. He tried to read her thoughts but she had blocked everyone out. He took his clothes off and slowly entered the bathtub. He sat opposite her and held her legs onto his lap. He gave her a gentle foot massage while she looked at him intently. Aware of her stare at him, he looked in her eyes and said, "I am sorry for even thinking that I regretted you marrying. I know that you have been through a lot and this is not easy for both of us. You are trying to achieve something even though you are clearly the most capable candidate and I am trying to manage the werewolf kingdom."

He paused for a while as he took another foot in his lap and massaged it. "I was clouded by my anger but the fact is that I think I am the luckiest in the entire werewolf realm to have found a person like you as my soul mate."

Adrianna tilted her head and looked at him through her blurry eyes. "Dmitri, I know that. You will never get anyone better than me." She smiled.

"Then what are thinking darling? I am happy that Keisha is gone forever."

Adrianna exhaled heavily and then put her head back behind to rest. She closed her eyes, "I feel I have snatched a daughter from a mother. Cora loved her a lot…"

"Keisha manipulated mother at every step. I don't why couldn't mother see it through. It was just that my mother had been so lonely all the while that she banked on Keisha for all emotional support and then you cam. It threatened Keisha's position, so Keisha tried to manipulate Cora more. Don't worry, I will talk to her and it is not necessary that needs to know that Keisha has been trapped in a maze. We will tell her that Keisha escaped with gemstones that she had given her to buy the jewelry. There is enough evidence about that."

Adrianna looked at Dmitri with sadness in her eyes. Dmitri held her feet and dragged her to him slowly. He picked her and made her sit on his lap. "Adri, please don't feel bad about it. Okay? I hate to see you sad because of anyone else other than me!"

Adrianna laughed, "What do you mean Dmitri Volkov? I can be sad only because of you."

"Of course! Only I hold the power to make you feel sad!"

She laughed out loud and he held her closely. He loved it when she laughed. Kissing her arms, he said, "What do you think of kids?" He wanted to completely distract her mind from Keisha's incident.

"I think they are cute," she replied with a cute pout and added, "But I won't think about having one for at least a year."

"Hmm… now that is not in your power. That is again me to decide. And mind that Adri, I am not a patient man. I want at least two to three babies as soon as possible maybe by next year."

Adrianna started to run from there, knowing perfectly what he was hinting at but was pinned by his strong arms. "No my darling. You have some duties towards your husband." She started laughing. He looked at her lovely face and kissed her until she was out of breath. His erection sprang up and he grabbed her by her buttocks and made her slip it in her.

They emerged out of the bathroom after half an hour. They slept after having sumptuous dinner. Adrianna slept without having any nightmares. All her sadness was seeped out of the system after Dmitri had talked to her. She held him close to her while sleeping. It was comforting.

Next day in the morning they woke up listening to a huge commotion downstairs. When they came downstairs, they saw Cora shouting at all servants. When Dmitri came downstairs, Cora said, "Dmitri, look I have received this letter in Keisha's handwriting!" She handed the letter to Dmitri and then shot an angry glance at Adrianna.

"Adrianna, you have tricked my son!"

Adrianna was shocked as to what was Cora even saying.

Cora turned to the servants and shouted at them again, "Go find Keisha!"

When Dmitri read the letter written Keisha, his face turned pale. She had accused him of forcing on her. She had also mentioned that Adrianna was in love with Niiya and that Dmitri two-timed the girls.

"Mother this is wrong! I have never forced myself on Keisha," said Dmitri in a hoarse voice.

"Dmitri, you must accept your actions and accept Keisha into your life. If you wanted her so much, why did you marry Adrianna? If I had known your intentions, I would have put my foot down earlier," said Cora holding his hands.
