Loved By a Vampire King

RECOMMEND SONG: Dusk Till Dawn By Zayn Malik FT Sia ~?

••MARIOTT CASTLE••

Under Isabella's strict order, Oscar had to give up his stubbornness and was now sitting over the bed of baby Cedric who fell asleep after the fuss. Oscar's face was gloomily as he kept holding his hand in air. Isabella was patiently bandaging the burn that he just got by her mischievous brother. She knew that her father was angry on Cedric but she didn't dare to get angry on that little day. Within one day, she discovered a strange relationship with her baby brother. Sometimes she felt like she could even go against her father for the sake of safing Cedric.

Oscar hissed in pain and took a sideway look of his daughter's poker face. He felt wronged and lately understood that he was a bit harsh on her today which wasn't in his characteristic.

As she was nearly done with his bandage, Oscar pursued his lips nervously and affectionately called her nickname,

" Bella! "

Isabella slightly paused and looked up at her father questioningly. Oscar sighed softly and spoke with guilt lacing in his voice,

" I..I am really sorry. I didn't mean to get harsh on you..It's.. it's just..You know that I don't like disobeying my order. Besides, did you see how this little boy reacted so violently? What if he would try to hurt you?"

Isabella kept listening to her father silently. Hearing his false assumptions on Cedric's behavior, Isabella interrupted boldly,

" Your accusations are absolutely wrong, father. Why are you pointing on his bad side? Why aren't you noticing that he has done everything to protect me from harmness?"

Oscar fell in silent and wanted to retort but nothing came out. Isabella continued jumping down from the bed,

" I think, you should be happy rather than warning me to stay away from Cedric repeatedly. Think about that way. If someday anything happens to you, he would be there to protect me and Jassie. Whatever he is, he still belongs to Dixon familiy. Father, it's high time that you let go of this unnecessary grudges"

Isabella paused abruptly and a sigh of exhaustion quitely escaped through her lips. Turning around, she faced the silent man bravely and resumed her words in a deep voice,

" It's your choice absolutely whether you want to admit him as your son. But I will hope that you won't push your decisions on us forcefully."

Oscar looked up and wanted to rebuke again,

" Bella.."

But suddenly Isabella mentioned something in a hoarse voice,

" I think that my mother's death has paid enough for your rage."

Oscar felt suddenly lost of words. He subconsciously fisted the bedsheets under his palms and looked extremely troubled. The pain that he felt after Jasmine's sudden departure was something that he wouldn't let him live in peace. Moments later, he gritted his teeth painfully, hauled up in a shot and mumbled weakly to Isabella,

" When the times come, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

With the saying, he turned around and headed outside of their room. Behind them, Isabella could only battle hardly to suppress her cries.

•••White Castle, Dalastia •••

" She fell asleep again!", Siemus informed after coming out from Ayra's room and saw the anxious faces of her mothers. Athena nodded with relief while Esme felt deeply concerned about the mark that she got from Enchantress.

Ethan who was still unhappy about Aaron's arrival wanted to speak something harsh but upon reminding Athena's warning, he just gave up. He tugged on Athena's sleeves slightly and suggested,

" How about you take rest? We can see what can be done about her mark when morning comes."

Athena seemed reluctant to leave but under Ethan's coaxing, she could only decide to go back. Just before they inteneded to leave, Athena reminded Esme who was still in daze,

" Don't forget that we have a guest around. I will be troubling you to take care of him for the time being here."

Athena gave a meaningful smile before heading off for her room with Ethan. While walking over to their room, she warned Ethan strictly,

" If you dare to meddle in their business, you can forget about living in my room ever."

Ethan's face sullened more. Originally she warned him with their marriage at first but now, she was even threatening him with their staying together. Ethan wanted to shed a bucket of tears but could only suppress under Athena's dagger like glare,

" All right, All right! I will follow as you said! I will accept whatever Serena decides. You... happy now?"

Athena hummed in response contendedly and solemnly prayed that her brother would get back his family this time. She would let him stay here as long as Esme doesn't want to return.

Esme was left in daze when Athena asked her to take care of Aaron. She didn't even know how to face him at this situation. One part of her wanted to strangle him to death hence another part wanted to pull him in her embrace. It was a ferocious battle that were she having inside till the moment that they met.

With so much confusions, she first headed for her own room and was immediately stunned. She saw Ron waiting for her on the doorway. At first, she wanted to avoid him but Ron caught up with her first.

He came around nervously and asked Esme while looking around here and there,

" Where.. where is Aaron? Haven't you two met?"

Esme replied a little surprised on the thought that they had met already,

" He is staying in the guest room."

Ron hummed in low voice and looked up at Esme blankly. He could sense that she was battling with her own emotions. Just as he pursued his lips to say something, Esme's subconscious mind triggered her with Anna's departure.

She looked up at Ron suggestively and spoke,

" I have something to give you. Please follow me in."

Ron was surprised at the change of subject and calmly followed Esme inside her room. Upon entering, he saw her walking over the drawer and pulled out a letter from inside.

Confused, Ron kept his eyes sharpened on that letter and wanted to ask something. But Esme seemed like in hurry. She passed him the letter and said meaningfully,

" I hope, you will be happy now. You are free from every responsibilities."

After passing him Anna's letter, Esme didn't wait anymore. She merely glanced at him disdainfully and headed outside for greater purpose.

Ron was in daze after taking a glimpse of Anna's handwriting. With a complicated thoughts, he started the letter slowly. After he was done with reading, his entire world froze in no moment.

Standing alone in the room with Anna's letter, his first question came across his mind.

Logically saying, he should be happy but why was he feeling blank inside? Why was he feeling that a part of his heart had been ripped off forcefully?

Meanwhile, Esme inhaled another deep breath to stable her emotions. Standing in front of Aaron's room, she signalled at the maid to knock and soon after, a cold voice came out from inside,

" Come in! "

Esme instructed the maid to go in and then she followed her afterwards. Aaron didn't change his clothes. He was resting impatiently and hoped that he would get a chance to meet Esme as soon as possible.

He jumped off from the bed in excitement when he saw her walking inside the room gracefully. Esme didn't look up at him directly but she could sense his overwhelming excitement that came out from him as soon as she entered.

The maid put down the foods on a table and considerably left after bowing at them. Esme sucked a deep breath nervously and spoke in her cold voice,

" Your foods are here, King Aaron. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

Aaron merely took a glimpse of those foods, looked back at Esme who was trying her best to avoid and blurted out sharply,

" Yes, I need..I need only you."

Esme felt her heart skipping a beat under his dark hooded eyes. It was his damn honeyed words which made her trapped in this marriage. Esme played hard and maintained an indifferent expression on her face. Then she smiled sheepishly and insulted his attitude coldly,

" Sorry, I am expensive and don't suit for anyone."

She only wanted to lower him down but the man again played with her words shamelessly. He grinned slightly and responded while getting closer under her distracted mind,

" That's right, you only suit with me."

Esme felt utterly speechless. She didn't want to spend her breathing on him anymore. She snorted coldly and spoke while intending to leave,

" Enjoy your meal! I am leaving! "

Aaron panicked instantly and saw her turning around. Without restraining himself anymore, he rushed over to her and hugged her from back tightly.

Esme froze in her place and felt extremely melting under his familiar embrace. She wanted to push him away but Aaron suddenly placed his right hand over her stomach. A cold chill ran through her spine when she felt him slightly panting beside her ears.

After a moment of silence, Aaron's hoarse voice echoed in her ear piercing through heart and soul,

" How are my babies doing? 

Esme felt her feet were glued on that particular spot. She wanted to run away but invisibly felt chained with him. Her eyes teared up subconsciously and her tone sounded cracky,

" Good.."

Aaron breathed deeply in her familiar scent and asked again while running his hand over her stomach affectionately,

" And... what about their mommy?"
