Ron's thunderous voice echoed in the air of Crimond Hill that left Anna with her own pains and scars. Even though she explained him to ignore everything but it was beyond her expectation that he would accuse her as soon as he got back his conscious.

She endured the pain on her left cheek and squeezed her eyes shut in agony. The dreams were all gone and it was time to face the reality.

Before she could speak out few words to justify his accusations, Ron roared once again as his heavy and restless boot steps made noise in the heavy air,

" I should have known that you are a snake in human disguise. I was merely drunk. How could you allow me to sleep with you? What will I say to prince Ethan? You know that he has just revealed his intentions yesterday. Anna, you have clearly disappointed me."

Anna exhaled a long painful as her eyes were tightened into a knot remorsefully. Even though Ron didn't call her anything shameful, his sharp words were enough humiliate her status originally.

Did she become a slut after accepting his approach?

She was hurt rather than being ashamed. Never, in her life she was treated so poorly by anyone. On the contrary, Ron kept looking down at her fallen figure murderiously as if he was inspecting a jinx ahead. He was pretty sure that if Anna didn't had close bond with Esme, she would have been killed by him till now.

After fighting with her innerself badly, Anna finally mustered up the courage to face him boldly and got up on her own clutching the blanket around her figure.

Turning around, she looked through the depth of Ron's rigid eyes that had only disgust written for her. Another pain stabbed deep across her heart as soon as she read through the unlimited remorse in Ron's eyes. For a precise moment, she was silent and kept blaming on herself.

Was it too ungraceful to accept his momentarily lust?

After drapping and fixing the blanket around her figure, Anna spoke particularly in a hoarse voice as her mind wandered over the memories of past night,

" We..we were just momentarily lost in lust, Ron. But you can't be blamed less here. You were the one who started approaching me fast. I..I know that you are in love with Princess. Rest assured, this memories will be buried between two of us. Except us, no one will ever know what happened last night. I can promise you that I won't use this excuse to tie you down ever."

She paused abruptly as low throaty choke escaped through her lips defending the tough domenaor that she kept holding on. Sucking another deep breath to control her emotions, she looked up meeting his eased eyes for a moment before whispering softly,

" I know my place in your heart."

She managed to spit out this one broken line before walking outside of the room with her heavy footsteps.

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

Because of last night's commotion, Zave had forced Athena to return in Moonshine Castle at that time. Even though Zave held numerous suspensions against Ethan's arrival in their world, he couldn't interrogate Athena like other average people. She was still the royal princess of Moonshine and had remarkable position in Vampire world.

During their argument, Athena constantly denied his questions and said that she and Ethan knew each others from human world and were mere friends. Though Zave had doubts and wanted to get her punished by Queen Mother but after knowing that Aaron had demolished her from her own position, he thought of keeping in silence. Above all, today was their engagement ceremony and he couldn't stir a ruckus for some insignificant reasons. Morever he could teach this bold princess, once they were married. Only then he would teach her that who he was exactly and what was the consequences of going against his decisions.

Thus Athena's was dragged out by Zave to moonshine last night and told her to live in Moonshine till their marriage.

The morning sun rose up in the sky of Silver city welcoming another blessed day to all the vampires. Comparing to other regular days, moonshine seemed noisy since early morning as the whole castle was busy in preparing Athena's grand engagement ceremony tonight. Even Jasper and Viviana were dead tired after travelling different cities to deliver the invitation letters to their prominent figures. Aaron strictly ordered that nobody could be missed out from his sister's blessed ceremony. They had already lived in distant for so many years and he was eger to show her all the brotherly love, she needed.

Esme couldn't sleep longer at that morning and woke up early after hearing so many noises from downhall. Opening her eyes groggily, she discovered that Aaron had already left the room. Rubbing her eyes, she also got up and headed outside after changing her clothes.

Even though her thoughts were clouded last night, she couldn't suppress the beaming happiness flashing across her face whenever she thought that there were two lives growing inside her. This overwhelming happiness were too hard to hide on.

Dwelling in her thoughts, she pulled open the door absentmindedly and was immediately stunned. Her eyes dropped over the ground where a thick carpet were placed on. From her doorway to downstairs, the entire space was covered in soft red carpet that felt too soft underneath her feet. Even if she fell down several times, she was afraid that she wouldn't get hurt a bit.

Her mouth went slightly open in awe as she looked up at Viviana who was standing at her doorstep. Bowing her head a little, Viviana explained awkwardly after reading her lady's astounded expression,

" Aahh..! My lady..that..It was lord who ordered us to make some changes in your daily activities. He only informed me and Jasper so that we can take care of you well. This carpet was also ordered by Lord so that you don't feel difficulties while going up and down tonight. If you feel weak, I can carry you down in my arms downstairs."

Esme was too speechless to say something!

Didn't he say that I can't reveal my pregnancy to anyone? Why did she feel like even though she could suppress herself from telling others,this man would definitely terrify others doing this stupid staffs?

She quickly waved her hands dismissively when Viviana already started bending down to scoop her up in her arms. Esme nearly jumped off from her spot and quickly stopped Viviana,

" Stop it, Viviana! Goodness, I am only pregnant not paralysed! "

Viviana only blinked and didn't seem pleased with her rejection. She was far more willing to carry Esme in her arms. Only god knows how excited they were when Aaron shared this news with them.

How many decades had passed that they didn't had any children in the castle? Even she couldn't remember.

As Esme saw through her dissapointment, she sighed helplessly and coaxed Viviana softly,

" Viviana, I can really walk on my own. I will definitely tell you to carry me up if I feel uncomfortable, all right? Let's go downstairs now. We still have to prepare for the feast tonight. Has Athena arrived in the castle?"

Viviana immediately beamed in happiness as she trailed her off closely while walking downstairs and answered her questions patiently. As Esme was in good mood, she laughed occasionally at Viviana's cautious movements towards her.

Why did she feel like everyone was more excited than her? Jeez! Even Jasper was impatient on serving her breakfast carefully.

As she got pampered downstairs, someone was looking down at her from upstairs viciously. Her grip on the railings tightened hard as she clenched her teeth viciously. Vanessa was planning to get down and then saw the sight of Esme's laughing face. Her track was immediately paused abruptly as she gazed down at her harshly. She couldn't wait to tear off her happy smile right away. Because of Esme's appearence in Aaron's life,she had to endure so much that she was ashamed of her own powers.

She was definitely not going to let her happy anymore!

A sinister smile flashed across Vanessa's face once she thought of today's plan. With her long lingering smile, she murmured viciously,

" Laugh how much you want, Esme. Because after tonight, you will only shed tears for eternity. The sun of happiness will dissapare from your life for forever."
