Chapter 188: The Engagement Ceremony Part 2

RECOMMENDED SONG: Die For You By The Weekend ~????

Inside Athena's living room, four to five maids were surrounded around the soon-to-be bride hurriedly. Their hands worked on her outfit, face magically as they put all their attention on her deeply. Athena didn't make a sound to advise them nor did she pay attention on whatever they were putting on her body.

As black was the omnious color of Vampires,her engagement gown was designed with each black materials considerably. Even the embroidered flower near her shoulderline was highlighted with black stones. Her hairs were hanging clumsily as a tiny veil had drapped half of her scalp. The makeup on her face surely suited on her beauty but the depth inside her heart was vacant, empty yearning for a certain companion.

Athena finally lifted up her heavy eyelashes and looked through her soul deeply through the mirror. Her resemblance was more likely a beautifully crafted artificial flower who appeared to be beautiful but there was no soul left within it. The future was waiting for her but the past never left from her memory. As some blurry visions replayed in her sight, her throat dried for holding back the muffled screams in her stomach for too long.

But what could she do?

Ethan was determined to carry the rage for her. But she didn't had the courage of tolerating such invisible pain for eternity. Sometime it was best to let go before hatred grows stronger. It was best to walk away before you see hatred in those eyes which once craved for your love. The pain was intolerable but it was a relief to your soul or to your heart. 

She spent countless times to console her aching heart yesterday coaxing and repeatedly that she would be happy and would smile genuinely before sitting down in front of this dresser. Still whenever she looked through the woman who was getting prepared to get engaged with another guy, her heart still beated for another man who once vowed to marry her.

Why is it so difficult to console your heart?

She pursued her lips together and withdrawed the gloomy gaze from her own reflection in the mirror. The maids giggled and whispered habitually as she played with her fingertips to use as her distraction momentarily.

She resolved every debts to Ethan and it was time that she set herself free from every emotions.

DOWNSTAIRS../

The hallway was already filled up with numerous prominent figures who came earlier to meet the Lord and Lady first. Some of them were extremely impatient as they couldn't manage to attend Aaron and Esme's marriage in the past. Their eagerly anticipated eyes occasionally glanced over the stairs from where the couple were supposed to climb down. 

Queen Mother had also dressed nicely as she kept exchanging greetings with some big shots. Even Zave didn't let go of this to increase his influence and continued chatting happily with the minister of some states. Mr. and Mrs.Scott also found a little corner to chat with a prominent lady and shamelessly boasted their relationship with the royals. No matter how many times,Mrs.Scott tried to shut her husband's blatant mouth, he continued boasting like a low classed person. She could only grind her teeth in anger and forced a smile on her face.

Amidst in chaos, some people didn't fail to see another seductive woman who continued smiling at the guests like an another royal member. It was Vanessa who greeted the guests as her own people. Some guests even started thinking that whether she had become Lord's concubine or not.

She also chose an expensive gown today to show off her lavishing days in Moonshine Castle. The white moon colored gown seemed fit on her body and highlighted her body curves perfectly. Left of her gown side was parted open to expose her slender legs which seemed very eye catching. Some shot her envious glares after scanning the exaggerating gown on her body. But she enjoyed this spotlight and continued twisting her strands.

As the grand ball was going to happen after a long time, Aaron had invited each one of his closest people around the world. His buddies were also present there except Ron who didn't show up still. He didn't plan to make Esme awkward today as she will be her soon the day after tomorrow surely. Furthermore he was annoyed over the incident that occurred with Anna during her drunken state. Even his close friends didn't know where he had been roaming on all the while.

As the people continued chatting happily and exchanged good wishes with Zave, the expected couple had arrived at the centre of upstairs carefully.

Esme was clasping one of Aaron's arms as her lips carried an elegant smile all time. All of sudden, the crowd went on silence as soon as they spotted the eye catching couple upstairs.

They appeared like a god-gifted match maker with their two different aura. One seemed like a ruthless king who kept clasping his woman's hand possessively whilst the other seemed like an elegant queen whose aura spreaded peace and elegancy as soon as she appeared on. Esme wasn't nervous at all after receiving so many glances and kept spreading her queenly aura. She was born as princess and had never failed to bewitch others with her strong presence. 

As she made the crowd bewitching with her calm smile, the man beside her was getting restless. He was afraid that they would spread evil aura on his unborn children. Holding a poker face, he kept descending down grabbing Esme's hands cautiously and ogled over the crowd once harshly. The crowd immediately withdrawed their attentive gazes after receiving his silent warning. As they all were impressed after seeing such lovey-dovey affection, a certain someone was digging her sharp nails into her skin so hardly that it started turning pale.

Vanessa was watching them enviously as the crowd immediately treated her non-existing as soon as Esme appeared. Even she was enjoying those rumours when people started gossiping that she was a concubine of Lord.

They both slowly walked at the centre and stopped behind the grand chandelier hanging up. The warm light had showered over Esme's face which made her face more beaming like a star.

Aaron held back the urge of scolding everyone for eyeing on his pregnant wife and cleared his throat awkwardly. Sucking a breath of consolation, he spoke referring to the crowd,

" THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR JOINING THE BLESSED CEREMONY OF OUR FAMILY. WE ARE SO HONOURED TO HAVE YOU ALL HERE. PLEASE ENJOY YOUR TIME HERE.WE WILL START THE CEREMONY AS SOON AS MY SISTER COMES DOWN."

The crowd clapped loudly and came one by one to exchange greetings with their Lord and Lady. Queen Mother inspected them sternly as her gaze darkened further deeply. She knew that she couldn't oppose any of his decision as he had seized all of her powers in Royal. She could only pretend to be the powerful woman that she was. Even her own biological daughter wasn't ready to follow her orders. Only Zave could be her reliance now.

Soon the formal greetings had come to an end as Aaron ruthlessly denied everyone to not bother them anymore. He was afraid that Esme would feel exhausted.

Aaron gestured towards Viviana who appeared on the doorway with Jasper who held a gloomy face.

Sigh! It was so torturous to attend the ceremony of that woman whom he liked for decades.

Viviana immediately went beside the couple as Aaron had already asked her to accompany Esme wherever she would go in the ball. 

Aaron sitted Esme over their discerned spot and had also plopped down beside her. As soon as he sat down, he instructed Viviana to bring some fresh fruits for Esme. Esme rolled her eyes annoymously and tapped on Aaron's palm saying lowly,

" My lord, can you please calm down? I feel like you are the one who is pregnant. If you behave so intimately with me, what will people think about you? They will say that you are a wife slave."

Aaron shot her a cold glare and responded while adjusting her gown cautiously to not fell down underneath her feet,

" It's already a blessing that I didn't dig out their eyes. Have you seen that how were they ogling at your body? What if my babies receive an evil eye?"

Esme was speechless and murmured lowly,

" Jeez! They aren't even born yet."

Aaron asked raising his arched brows,

" So?? You want them to born with bad luck? I am not willing to let my daughters born with bad luck."

Esme mumbled smacking his hands off from her gown,

" You are unreasonable. Civilians are dying to have their heir and here you go always talking about daughters."

Aaron pursued his lips to rebuke but quickly went off as soon as he received a cold glare from Esme.

This woman.. What's so good about sons? He can pass over his throne to her daughter too. Who will dare to oppose huh? 

As the couple continued fighting sweetly, the number of their admirers increased drastically. They all witnessed how sweet their Lord towards his wife and puked blood in disbelief.

As the crowd was busy in chaos, a certain someone had made her way towards the kitchen area holding a staff in her clasp.
