Athena's whole momentum collapsed into a freezing one trying to register the words that had been spoken by Siemus just now. Widening her eyes apart, she kept staring at Siemus face horrifically and wished that Siemus would correct her spoken words.

But a moment quickly crept away yet Siemus only showed a dull expression. Exhaling a long sigh helplessly, Siemus revealed the entire information looking guilty to spill it out all of sudden,

" It's true! Lady has a daughter out there. She has been keeping her guarded from everyone."

Athena could barely able to keep herself conscious as her subconscious mind repeated those words continuously. Unable to believe her words for the first time, Athena asked with insecurity,

" Have.. have you seen the baby? Or you are just assumpting everything based on whatever you heard from gossips."

Siemus had a helpless face and could only sigh remorsefully. She knew that this information was too unbelievable to believe right away.

Nodding her head compherensively, Siemus confirmed in a low voice in case Ethan could hear her words from the corridor,

" I have seen the baby with my own eyes. She is nearly six or seven years old. Even she has mixed blood of Vampires."

Athena was once again stunned before barking out with nervousness,

" What.. what do you mean by that? Say it clearly."

Noticing the anxiety surfaced on Athena's expression, Siemus didn't hide out anything and replied in a low voice,

" She has given birth to the daughter before getting married. The father of that baby is none other than Ron Warren,Lord's closest friend."

Athena's expression sank drastically as if she was having hallucination at that moment. Barely managed to breath after hearing out so many words, Athena felt a terrible headache unable to register so many informations and waved her hand dismissively.

Staggering towards the bedside, she plopped down before urging Siemus in a low voice,

" Send him off first to his castle. We can talk about it later once you come back."

Siemus sighed helplessly watching her pale face and headed for the opposite corridor where Ethan supposed to be waiting for her arrival.

As the vampiress left hastily after sharing such shocking informations, Athena had a hard time controlling herself because of so many troublesome news.

She kept sitting at the edge of her bed clenching the sheets into her fists and murmured painfully,

" Oh brother! What have you done! Your heart is going to be broken again. Why..why did you have such poor luck of loosing everyone that you love!"

Athena murmured to herself painfully as she started feeling pained for her brother. No matter what or how they were, she cared for Aaron from the core of his heart. Even though she knew that her mother had always been pretentious in front of Aaron,she never spilled it out as she didn't want to see Aaron so heartbroken.

Now after hearing out everything that his close friend and wife had betrayed him,how will he face this pain of betrayal? Who will be there to care for him?

These were all Athena's thoughts whose whole body was getting tensed up eventually.

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

After the girl had finally fallen into slumber sleep, Aaron was in relief and was eased up thinking that she wouldn't run away from his side once again.

Looking down at her sleeping face, he exhaled a long sigh helplessly before using his warm finger tips to shove off the strands from her half covered face. Despite touching her cheeks numerous times, Esme didn't show any sign of waking up instead moved a bit and found her preferable position to sleep comfortably.

Tugging the blanket over her body, Aaron had a faint smile spreading on his lips but a light knock interrupted the peaceful atmosphere inside the room.

Before another knock could drop down over the wooden door, Aaron reached at the doorway in a second using his inhumanic speed.

Jasper's fingers paused at the midway astounding over the quickest response that he had received just now. The door was pulled open very cautiously as if the opposite person was fearing off creating a little noise.

As the door opened revealing a dark silhouette, Jasper and the healer both were stunned before taking a step back subconsciously.

Through the nape of Aaron's shoulder, Jasper took a peek of indoor side and guess,his prediction turned true.

His lord was afraid of waking up the sleeping beauty over the bed Indeed!

Aaron had a displeased expression and switched his gaze between this two dumbfounded persons who stood still robotically. Reminding the importance of calling the healer, he had a perturbed face before taking a peek from the bedside.

Watching the girl sleeping soundly, he didn't had the guts of waking her up now and had ordered coldly,

" Jasper, you can take the healer back momentarily. She is sleeping right away. I don't want to wake her up right now. Also she hasn't vomited anymore. As soon as she wakes up tomorrow, I will call him out again. You can see him off now."

Aaron explained in a low voice and closed the door off as soon as he finished. Behind the door, Jasper was speechless and only could led the healer outside apologizing sincerely.

A man in love is foolish than a seven days old child, indeed!

Coming back to his bedside, he quickly slipped into the blanket swimply and used his back to keep leaning against the bed edge. After settling down everything, he was relieved that finally his woman could take a good rest by his side. In this peaceful thoughts, he closed his eyes in order to rest himself quitely.

A peaceful hour passed away without any disturbance inside the room...!

The round moon was all set to go down under the floating clouds as the dark night was on the verge of disappearing. The lambs around the corners of room was nearly melting darkening the entire room eventually emitting a misty smell.

Moving in his spotting comfortably, Aaron was greedy for a hug from his wife as he looked down opening his eyes promptly. As soon as he parted open his red eyes, his expression baffled out in astonishment.

The bed was empty and she was gone once again!

Tugging off the blanket hastily, he looked around deeply and didn't locate her shadow anywhere. Just when his mouth pursued open to call out her name loudly, a crispy sound started coming out from their adjacent corridor with the random wind.

Feeling curious, he left down from the bed quickly before making his way towards the noisy place.

Taking slow steps towards the way,his track was halted surprising on the doorway as soon as he saw the scnario happening over there.

Esme was trying to pull out the jib from a brown colored bottle in a disheveled state. Her long hairs were messy after rolling vigorously on the bed. Her gown was scattered in different places and she seemed like fighting desperately with the jib.

Still the jib was too tight around the opening criteria and didn't unlock despite giving so much strength of her. Loosing her last bit of patience, she picked up the bottle in the air hastily and was ready to break it off against the wall ahead.

Aaron was too speechless that he even forgot to blink for a while. At that moment, when the enlarged girl finally proceeded towards breaking, he shouted out quickly,

" Stop...!! What are you doing??"

Aaron quickly stopped her tasks before coming closer to her. Esme turned her face to see him and pouted unhappily.

Looking down at her face, Aaron frowned curiously and felt that her eyes were exceptionally weird as if she was under the influence of spells.

But who would dare to cast a spell over his chivalrous wife?

Looking up at the familiar bottle, Aaron asked gently scanning her from head to toe,

" What are doing here at this hour? Why did you get down from the bed? Why didn't I notice? Esme,you are behaving odd. What are doing with my bottle?"

Esme blinked innocently and put down the bottle gently after being interrupted. Stretching out her palm towards his way, she complained unhappily,

" I was trying to take a sniff of this liquor but it wasn't opening up. I was going to break it off if you didn't disrupt me."

Aaron's expression scrunched up as he rebuked snatching the bottle from her hand,

" What will you do with my bottle? It's not wine,fool. It's blood for me. "

Esme frowned before mumbling lowly,

" I just wanted to take a sniff. "

Aaron pinched the space between his eyebrows and explained her patiently,

" You will vomit again once you sniff it.You understand? You don't like the smell of blood."

Esme scratched her head feeling weird and energetic all of sudden. In order to not getting scolded more, she mumbled nudging her bottom lips,

" Fine, I won't sniff if you say so. Then..how about you carry me in your arms to the bed?"

She offered before flattering her long eyelashes teasingly and imposed a seductive charm.

Aaron nearly went blind in astonishment and blurted out,

" What...???"

This was the first time she was being so provocative towards him. In the past, he used numerous tricks to get her attention and had to work his ass off to win her heart. Now when was she being mushy on her own,it was so surreal to him.

Watching him in silence, Esme suddenly pouted her lips sadly and choked without warning,

" You..you are scolding me after you punished me? Huh? I..I should just leave you.."

Aaron panicked and couldn't understand what had he done wrong to make him cry. Pulling her closer,he coaxed quickly before her tears could drop down,

" No..no..no.. how dare I? I was just overwhelmed by your sudden approach,wifey. If you ask me to carry you out around the world, still I will gladly accept it as long as you are with me."

Just like a child who got candy suddenly, Esme's eyes sparkled in excitement as she accepted shamelessly,

" Then do it. When did I refuse?"

Aaron "...."

What is wrong with her?
