Esme trembled all over her body that had turned vulnerable under his powerful beastly claws. But in reality, she was feeling more pained after gazing through his reddened eyes that was emitting a demon aura. She knew that she was married to the most ruthless vampire that existed in their worlds. She never witnessed his vicious side that much except that terrible experience from one night when she faced how he tortured some people brutally.
Her tears had no boundaries as it continued falling down recklessly more in pain that had clutched her heart.
I shouldn't have said it to him! Never! Perhaps it was my fault for trusting him so soon!
On the flip side, Aaron was lost in anger and jealousy that was coursing through his veins and blood cells. He forgot that they had sexual encounter last night that was enough to wipe off his all doubts. But the moment, the girl had dared to spit out that what if she carried other man's child, he turned a possessive freak that could kill anyone who dared to lay a hand on her body. Thus he forgot that in this way of venting out his rage was hurting her the most.
Aaron jolted coming back to his sense when her hot tears dripped down over his palm sliding down to the carpeted floor. The fire in his eyes instantly faded as soon as his blank gaze spotted the stream of teardrops falling down from her white eyes that had turned pale in fear.
He loosened the grip from her tongue before gazing at his own hands in disbelief. Esme coughed violently until she felt breathless. Her collarbone part still ached a little as if he had left bruises on it.
Aaron blinked twice feeling lost and somehow baffled out after watching the pitiful outcome that he had caused to his beloved woman. His breathing hitched at the sight of her constant tears and vulnerable state. He never felt so ashamed of his own behaviour.
Esme squeezed tightly in her spot holding the pulling angels of the shelf and breathed rapidly without noticing his guilty face. Without knowing how to console her, Aaron reached out to touch her body but Esme jolted violently noticing his stretching hands.
Squirming fearfully, she shouted mumbling,
" Do.. Don't touch me.. don't..Please.."
His hand paused in the air until his eyes turned hurtful. This wasn't not the first time that she feared him.But today it was different from the past. His woman feared his beastly nature that was mostly on the verge of harming her.
He pursued his lips to speak something but nothing came out as he spotted her trembling figure just like a fallen leaf from winter.
Esme finally looked up with her tear filled eyes before explaining herself,
" I.. I'm sorry.. I should have known my place in your heart.."
Aaron gulped down his bitter feelings slightly as if her words were cutting every inch of his body. Exhaling a hot breath that showed how guilty he was inwardly, he whispered softly,
" I.. I didn't.. mean.. to.. do it.. I was just.."
Esme interrupted fighting with another stream of tears that were begging to fall down,
" You just thought that I'm that kind of woman who will carry another man's child even after I have accepted you wholeheartedly? So I'm that kind of irrespective woman in your heart, King Aaron? Why? Because I belong to other world and not a member of your clan? "
Aaron was startled and felt terribly guilty. This guilt was slowly killing him inside like slow poison.
Shaking his head slightly, he corrected her words in rush,
" That's not true Esme. How.. how will I make you believe me? What favour you were asking for? Sorry.. please.. I should have listened to your words.. I.."
Esme cut off his words whispering softly as her tearful eyes hit the deep core of his heart,
" Just trust me! "
She choked before completing her words murmuring,
" That's the only favor I need you from now."
Aaron lowered down his gaze and watched his own hands frowning hard. Sighing rapidly, he looked up to ease up her mind but the woman was already heading for the door.
As Aaron just took a step to chase her, she ordered without turning back,
" Don't follow me."
Aaron paused abruptly and felt powerless over her determined tone. As she pulled open the door to walk out halfway, Aaron dared to take another step as he was feeling more suffocated than her. He only wanted to see her smile sooner even if he needed to kneel down in front of her.
As Esme heard his boots sound, her anger was erupted like volcano. Turning back, she gazed at him so furiously that Aaron was a little taken back at her wrath face.
Stopping on his spot abruptly, he heard her say shouting madly,
" I told you to stop following me, Aaron Richards."
BANG!
As her words left her mouth, she punched on the door in her rage that left an unbelievable impact. The iron material door was wrenched hard before appearing out a vague sign of five fingers that was nearly an inch deeper.
Aaron was surprised before gazing between the her burning face and that marked spot. Even Esme didn't notice the impact that she left on the door that subconsciously showed her supreme powers.
Crying softly, she turned around before heading for her bedroom marching over the corridor hurriedly.
Aaron sighed at her flying figure and waved his hand to close the door through spell. Plopping down on his chair, he dove his face into his palms sensing the deep pains that had engulfed his heart.
Why can't I hurt her? Why? Why? Wasn't it all planned? Then why can't I do it now?
He leaned against the rocking chair absentmindedly and tried to forget about her hurtful face.
Reminiscing in deep thoughts, he recalled the memory before meeting her on human world.
*** FLASHBACK BEFORE THEIR MARRIAGE***
It was nearly at dawn time when Aaron arrived at the SEAEYES island to meet the old vampire lord from the history. He had left his throne and chose a normal life to spend his lifetime peacefully. But secretly he was the head adviser and rooter of the laws of Vampires who are bound to follow those rules.
The sky was slowly getting darker as he reached at his secret villa disguising as a guard. The man seemed old as he had stopped drinking human blood even though Aaron insisted so many times.
He never wished to live long life thus he only worked behind the curtain to fulfil the promise of helping Aaron that he gave to Aaron's father once. The two Lords sat opposite each others carrying their own remarkable aura of King.
Lowering his eyes down, Aaron informed nonchalantly,
" I have found her, uncle. But marrying her will be a crime once everyone finds it out. They will say that the king himself doesn't follow the laws and commits crime."
The old woman nodded his head blankly and understood his concern as he took a sip from his hot tea. Exhaling a long sigh, he smirked wisely before stating proudly,
" I have another plan to solve this problem."
Aaron shook his head slightly in admiration of his intelligence. This man had always a way to solve any critical problem. Gesturing him to continue as the old Lord suggested giving it second thoughts,
" Hide her identity from everyone and make sure that no one finds it out in your castle until you aim your goals."
Aaron frowned slightly and asked curiously,
" Understood. But what will I do with her later? I don't wish to spend my life time with a different creature. Moreover why was she banned? I couldn't find out the reason behind it. "
The old man frowned hard before darkening his eyes,
" Queen Melinda is a very wise and cunning woman. She had sealed the informations quite deeply that no one except their few clan members know the news of her powers getting sealed. Forget about the reason and focus on what will you need from her, remember? "
Aaron nodded comprehensively and asked annoyingly,
" You are saying right uncle. But what will I do with her after that? "
The old man smirked cunningly and replied putting down the teapot,
" Kill her! Just kill her after you are done with your aims. In that way, your tenants won't have anything to say about getting married with a Fairy or engage in a forbidden relationship. After all marrying a human isn't uncommon or prohibited in our clan but marrying a white magical creature or produce a bybrid child is considered to be the grieve crime in our world."
Aaron was startled after hearing him out and asked surprisingly,
" But.. if her mother gets to know about her death after I kill her later, won't they try to avenge on me? or they might declare a war against us. "
The old man shook his head denied and replied with an evil smirk,
" No.. If they really cared for her, they wouldn't have let their princess suffer so much in other world. They won't try to dig out the truth desperately, I can assure you that. "
Aaron nodded before speaking,
" You are always so brilliant, uncle. Well then let's head for the so called marriage. "
The old man asked raising up his eyebrows doubtly,
" But will you kill her later sure? You have to give your words to me or I can't approve this marriage, Son. I can't break the law for your sake. "
Aaron smirked while getting up from the spot,
" I promise to you uncle. She will be killed by me after I'm done with her. There will be no crime in my world. "
