RECOMMEND SONG : Loner By Maggie Lindemann~????

Nothing could reach through her heart at that moment when all her thoughts had been dissolving into the depth of ground underneath her feet. Her suffocating pain felt so heavy and intolerable that she even forgot to intake a stable breathing inside her lungs.

The old lord continued without showing any mercy to the woman opposite of him who was collapsing onto the ground eventually. Her white skin was deadly pale as if there was no soul left within it. But he was so selfishly happy to see her shattered state that he resumed enthusiastically. His dark merciless eyes danced with happiness in the thought that finally he could get rid this woman out of Aaron's life for eternity. Even if Aaron managed to save her life from him somehow, she would definitely leave him for forever.

After all who would like to spend her whole life with a betrayer?

The old lord smiled faintly and winked at his guards to step out as he was going to spill out every dark secrets of Aaron. He didn't wish Aaron to loose his position thus keeping this secrets only between few people was evident.

Esme didn't bother to urge him anymore as she knew that he was going to spit out everything whether she wanted to listen further or not. She feared that after knowing everything, would she have anymore strength left to get up or not?

Still she waited patiently like a soul being cut off by a painful dagger ruthlessly!

She sat down over the dusty floor absentmindedly and let the lord continued her emotional torture. Regaining his tough composure of ruthlessness, he continued smirking meticulously,

" You must have noticed Aaron's illness, don't you?"

At that moment, the empty soul finally showed a slight reaction as her heavy eyelashes groggily looked up to face the man who was smiling at her dullness happily.

Her silence was a grand reward to old Lord who couldn't wait to shatter this proudy woman who dared to use her charm on Aaron as per his assumption. After letting out a tsk sound sarcastically, he sighed while stepping another step close to her body,

" I assume that you are aware of this word,Jinx Blood? Well, let me make it more clear to you. Aaron had jinx blood in his veins since his childhood. He was once bitten by Enchantress who passed this blood on his Vampire bloodline. According to healer's words, he is going through his third stage and will need to recovery completely after sucking your blood obviously if you pass it willingly. Now you can see that why is he so good to you? Above all, why was he desperate to marry you? There is nothing like love or affection. Everything was just a fair deal, girl. Now don't waste my time and be an obedient wife of saving your husband from this crucial moment."

He finished his words with a sly smirk and looked down at the woman whose eyes were blank like an empty shell.

Esme closed her eyes in a shut, still forced herself to believe that Aaron couldn't do such hemnious thing to her. It might be the old lord's trick who was trying to avenge on her.

Her lips quivered together in pain, a low choke escaped through her lips as her words came out lower than the whisper of air,

" I.. don't.. believe...you...You.. must be lying..shut up.."

She choked as soon as she finished her words. She could feel her nerves getting weakened eventually. The thought of being decived,used by Aaron was killing her eternally. Her mind was facing a ferocious battle at that moment. One moment,she thought that everything was just a lie but the other moment,all her questions, curiousity and conclusions proved that old lord was speaking the truth.

She badly wanted to cry, scream or might kill someone but her little body didn't comply her in anything instead let her sitting down over the dirty floor blankly.

Old Lord's expression darkened more as soon as he realised that Esme wasn't believing in his words totally. His demeanor was impatient whilst he inteneded to spit out the rest of his words but there came a noise of commotion from outside.

Athena had already arrived at the doorway of Esme's shell and was already arguing hard with the guards who tried to block her path from entering in. Today even Siemus didn't hide herself from others and openly accompanied Athena towards the prison briskly.

As their argument turned fervent, Siemus couldn't wait any longer and casted a mute spells over those bodyguards in no moment. Later they both entered into the prison together and was immediately stunned after looking at the old lord's appearance.

Athena sawlloed after taking a glimpse of Esme's sitting posture and questioned old Lord who didn't expect Athena to show up,

" Old Lord, what are you doing in Lady Esme's

shell?"

The old Lord seemed uneasy and started thinking about making an excuse. Just when he parted his lips to say something, Esme looked up at Athena with her groggy eyes.

Even Siemus seemed concerned after watching her poor state and wanted to help her to get up but Esme hauled up briskly on her own.

Stumbling over Athena hurriedly, she grabbed Athena's arms together and asked anxiously,

" Athena, you must know the truth, isn't it? The old lord was telling me that Aaron..Aaron married me because he is sick and needs my blood to recuperate. The old Lord is lying, isn't it? This..how can it be truth? Aaron said that he loves me..He won't do this to me.. Isn't it? Speak Athena. I can only trust you in this Castle. Please say something."

Esme asked repeatedly and questioned Athena while jerking off her hands anxiously. On the other hand, Athena was frozen as her throat dried in fear. She didn't expect that the old lord would be so cruel to break Esme's heart in absence of Aaron.

Siemus's expression turned bizarre as she didn't know whether Esme was mentioning the truth or not. Esme's water filled eyes kept staring at Athena who remained motionless.

Athena's mouth parted open then closed off as she had nothing to say to defend his brother's misdeed right now. As soon as Esme saw that Athena wasn't saying anything, she gasped disbelievingly jumping back from her hold.

A throaty choke escaped through her lips as she murmured to herself painfully,

" Everything was... real..."
