My nerves were unsettled, and the constant shaking of my body was becoming unbearable, or was it the chilly air? I couldn't tell, I couldn't think and the ramming thoughts in my head weren't helping either.

I tried pulling the covers more to my body and then suddenly the door opened, I gasped.

The light coming in, my back instantly slammed on the bed wood, as I waited in itching anticipation as the figure stepped in.

Olivia yawned coming in view, holding a candle and some sheets in the other hand.

Wait... Olivia?

"Olivia," I said in relief.

"My lady you're awake," she said with a smile against her lips, as she drops the candle on one of the stances, walking up to the bed with the sheets at hand.

"The air suddenly became so chilly and then I remembered you didn't have enough sheets to cover yourself" she states placing the covers on top of my bed.

She then paused seeing my stare.

"Are you okay my lady, you look like you have just seen a ghost"

"I'm fine... I-I just thought it was someone else" I said as my gaze fell to the door but it remained close.

"All done my lady, I should leave you to have your rest it's still late," she said about walking away.

"Don't go!" I said with haste.

"I'm sorry my lady I know it's hard staying alone in your chambers but maids aren't allowed to sleep in the chambers," she said with a pouting face.

The poor girl didn't know the main reason, there's no way she would.

"But you can ring this bell if you need anything" she states walking up to a bell hung on the wall, just next to my bed.

"The sound is made to reach my room, its a call bell, just ring it if you need me"

I just forced a smile nodding, I didn't know how to tell her, and I didn't want her to break the household rules by staying here and facing mother's wrath, I had to let her go.

"Goodnight Olivia," I said with a forced smile, making sure I muster it up so that she wouldn't worry.

She smiled.

"Goodnight My lady, don't worry I will be here first thing in the morning" she states, raising her sleeping gown a bit as she descends the stairs and walked to the door, grabbing the candle.

Before she left, she smiled at me, I returned it as the door shut close. Once again I was left alone in the room with thoughts of Cedric.

"Snap out of it Sylvia, he won't come," I said to myself as I finally laid on my bed, snuggling in the covers, I shouldn't fear anymore, I should just sleep, maybe they didn't find out it was me spying.

I should just sleep and pretend this night never happened, yes that was a good plan, I will just act neutral tomorrow when I see him, I shut my eyes close, shivering more, and going under the covers more, it was so cold.

I heard the door open, it must be Olivia, perhaps she forgot something.

"Did you forget something Olivia?" I asked smuggling more on the bed.

There was no answer.

"Olivia?"

"She's not the one, wife"

My eyes flashed open as I sat up on my bed with a start, the cover of my body at the action. My wide eyes fixed on Cedric at the door.

"W-What are you doing here?" I asked sternly, I cursed my voice for sounding so shaky.

"Is it wrong for a Husband to check up on his wife?" He asked making a puzzled face as he walks to where my bed was.

My heart slammed loudly along with his steps.

My mouth was instantly shut, there was never a comeback when it came to him, I just sat there frozen in place as he made his way to my bed. I shouldn't fret or he would know something was off if I gave off too much anxiety, I should act normal, a husband coming to see his wife was normal.

I cleared my throat.

"Is there anything I can help you with husband?" I asked forcing a smile watching as he sat on the bed, I couldn't read his looks, but he seemed calm, that was a good thing right?

He tilts his head to the side, observing my features, I shyly looked away as my cheeks heated, why was I flushed? His face was just too handsome that I couldn't take it.

"The night is cold, you should cover up more" he states.

Why do I have the feeling he was the cause of the chilly weather?

I just gulped.

"I-I will, Olivia was very kind, she brought me more cover, there's no need to worry," I said.

"As you can see I'm very comfortable in my chambers" I add with a smile.

He made a hmm sound as if amused.

"Are you sure Sylvia?"

At the mention of my name I shivered, why do I always react whenever he called my name?

"Y-Yes, I'm very... very comfortable, anything to stay away from you"

Okay, that came out wrong... ugh! I said too much.

He raised an eyebrow.

"You want to stay away from me?" he said like a mystery.

I gulped.

"Tell me, Sylvia, why stay away from me?" he asked in a curious tone.

My heart skipped a heart, this time I look at him in the eye.

"Because you once tried to get rid of me," I said sternly, making sure my face held no emotion at all.

His eyes narrowed.

"Hmm, you mean the gem. They are magical objects, filled with cold aura"

I blinked puzzled, but he said it clearly to my face that he cast a spell on it to make me cold, did he lie? Why? And should I believe him?

"It was your punishment not indeed to get rid of you"

And yet he gave me a cold gem... ugh!

I scoff, was it all a game to him? To watch me suffer? Did he even have feelings?

At that thought, I remembered the wolf words when he asked if he feel and then 'Her' ever since 'Her', he could feel

'Her', my fist clenched hard against the sheets.
