Turning back, she found the woman glaring at her angrily. She felt more annoyed and intended to walk inside.

But the woman seemed to be more impatience and roared angrily,

" Athena, I told you to stop right here."

Sighing helplessly, she turned back to face her and asked rising up her sharp eyebrows nonchalantly,

" What??"

Glaring hard at this disobedient girl, Queen mother took a step forward and grabbed her hands tightly, shouting out loud,

" Did you again visit the human world? Athena, you have been behaving quite vagrantly.

Are you taking the advantage of protecting you always?

You have already got permission to visit human world two times once in a month.

What more do you want?"

Athena shrugged her shoulders and replied sternly,

" Enough mom. Brother isn't present here now. You don't have to pretend anymore. "

Queen Mother, " You... "

Athena didn't bother to give her any reply and headed upstairs directly.

Queen Mother shouted from behind,

" Athena... Stop.. You can't go there like that.. Athena, listen to me.. you.. "

Athena didn't turn back even moved fast and shut her bedroom's door with a loud bang.

Athena was bold as always. She never cared about her mother's order and fond of making her irritated. Perhaps Aaron doted on his sister so much and never raised his voice on her. This is was her advantage of being open minded, bold and reckless.

After all, she never forgives those people who hurt her.

Queen Mother stood there in silent cursing herself for raising up this disobedient daughter of her.

Next day,

Esme woke up groggily and parted her drowsy eyes slowly. The warm sunlight came through the giant bedroom eliminating the whole space.

She lifted up herself quickly and tried to calm her mind while looking around. It was not her dream. She is really in the vampire world and above all she is married now.

She turned her head to watch the spot beside her and found that it was empty. Her husband already got up.

After freshing herself, she pondered for a moment deciding on the fact that she should get out or not. Pushing away all the thoughts, she slowly opened her bedroom's door and fortunately it was unlocked.

As soon as she came out, she found that there was already two maids standing at her doorstep, guarding her and kept their heads down.

One of them spoke politely,

" My Lady, Lord has gone to the hallroom early in the room. As for Queen mother and Princess, they are downstairs."

Waving her hand, the maid added,

" You can walk this way and find the stairs."

Esme nodded slightly. Though she came here for two days, she didn't come out from her room at all. She had no idea how the castle looked like inside. Lucky the maids were cooperative with her and always helped her before falling in embarrassment.

But she never knew that someone had deliberately ordered them to stay by her side and guide her always.

Esme started walking towards her directed way. When she reached downstairs, she found no one but only heard, commotion from a certain room. Curiously she walked towards the hallroom and got stunned immediately standing at the back door.

A young boy was caged in a chain screaming painfully to have mercy on him.Several guards were holding his wings and intended to cut it out with a large knife. As for the young boy, he was already looking dead pale.Blood was dropping from his mouth profusely wetting the floor beneath him.

Esme trembled in fear and hold her breath thought of going back hurriedly. She turned around away and bumped into a masculine chest.

"Aahh..", She grunted in pain grabbing her straight nose.

A cold, chilling voice came across her ear,

" What are you doing here?"

Definitely she knew this devilish voice. She took a step back patting her chest slightly and lifted up her gaze nervously,

" I.. I.. just came here after hearing the noises."

Aaron glanced behind her before pulling her from the doorstep. Esme didn't struggle and ler her hold him.

He only stopped after dragging her far away from the hallroom.

Though he wanted to cage her here inside his castle, he didn't want to frighten her at all. If she was willing to stay his side, he will gladly accept her. At first, he indeed kidnapped her according to his mother's order but after watching her closely, he couldn't know that which way they were leading towards.

He solemnly wanted to keep her as his wife. Those frightened eyes, her seductive lips seemed like a deep addiction to him. After taking one sip, his body and mind were getting intoxicated vigorously. It was started when he was taking her in his world and accidentally kissed her lips.

Aaron left her grip and asked looking at her slightly trembling eyelids,

" What did you see?

Why did you go there without having someone?

Where are the maids?"

His voice was cold but bit annoyed at the same time.

Hearing him calling out the maids angrily, Esme interrupted him,

" No.. I asked.. them to show me

downstairs.."

Taking another deep breathe, she asked with a great courage,

" What's wrong with the boy?

Why.. why.. they were cutting his wings.."

Aaron gazed at her deeply. This was the first time after reaching here that she initiated to talk with him first.

His expression remained cold as he replied,

" His wings were used in doing a crime. He shouldn't land on a place where he was forbidden to."

Esme knitted her eyebrows unable to understand his hide and seek type words. Watching her in daze, Aaron greedily took a step closer to her before wrapping one of his arm around her slender waist.

Esme gasped at his sudden intimate act before staring at his mischievous eyes.

He asked calmly having an overbearing attitude in his tone,

" I don't like disobedient people, my lady.

Your consequences will be far terrible than him if you dare to escape away from here."

Escape??

Definitely! She wasn't any kind of birds who will be caged here forever.

She better finds a way to leave from here as soon as possible.

Esme lowered her head not giving a damn to his words but still didn't dare to argue back.

Aaron seemed to look through her thoughts as he held her chin up forcing her eyes to meet his ruthless gaze,

" Did you hear me?

Believe me or not, it will take only a few seconds for me to destroy your family."

Threat !!! threat!!! threat!!!

Only this man knew how to threat her always!!

When she was still in her thoughts, suddenly she felt some shivering touch over her lips.His tiptoes brazed at her freshened lips gently gazing at it with lust flashing from his eyes.

" When did you guys wake up?", a gentle voice came from behind and Esme parted apart herself from his grip.

Aaron looked behind slightly disappointed to be interrupted suddenly. His face showed a gentleness after watching the lady standing there,

" Mom, we just woke up."

Queen Mother gave a reply with smile but deep down, her eyes showed a sore expression which confused Esme more.

She asked lovingly like an affectionate mother,

" Come, let's have breakfast together."

Both of them nodded and walked towards the dinning place. Beside her, Athena laughed softly and said with a deep meaning,

" Your reign is going to be end soon, queen mother."
