Hazel left the room with teary eyes. She sat with the kids for a long time until Lucian told her that it was time to leave yet she felt like she had not spent enough time with them.
They all were so brave to face their fears. She had explained to them well what they needed to say and told them how to reply to the questions and what they could be asked.
She was proud of how they had understood everything and performed well when she had asked questions to them. She felt like a great burn would be lifted if the kids would get enough money as compensation to keep their mouths shut while she would show the drama to the council.
“Do you think they have received my letter?” she asked in a soft voice when Lucian shook his head.
“It is difficult. You should ask lord Rafael for help. He would be able to invite them on such short notice.” she turned silent.
Raefael was busy and she did not want to ask someone who did not even ask her how she was after taking the benefit but not returning the favor. It cleared the line that he did not want to stay with her.-.
The thought brought the flashes of the kiss they had shared in the bed that night. She had kissed Lucian but it did not feel the same. She did not feel the sparks she had felt with him. But Lucian liked her and Rafael did not..!
“Umm, about the balcony..” Hazel tilted her head to look at Lucian who had a red face and was looking everywhere about her.
“I mean, about that kiss. Why did you kiss me?” She opened her mouth and then closed it as she did not have any answer.
It has been some time since she knew that he liked her but he had never confessed it to her. And as far as it was about her. She was sure that she liked Rafael but he did not reciprocate her feelings.
So, she wanted to know if she could move on with Lucian once Rafael would leave. But the kiss, it did not arouse her though she was sure she had kissed just the way Rafael had taught her;.
“What do you feel when you kiss me?” she asked back as she was not able to mule over it or observe his reactions since she felt with Julia.
“That.. that was my first kiss. I felt like a jolt of lightning flew through my body and.. That.. I like you more than I expected.“ His words closed her eyes but there was only the image of Rafael that came to her mind when she thought about kissing and having.. Cough cough! What was she even thinking?
She had to forget about him.
“So, are you sure that you like me? I mean, you are serious about me, right?” she asked as she stopped in her tracks and stood in front of him.
It was fine as long as he loved her and did not leave her for another woman. She was tired of running behind Rafael and she wanted to have a stable family now.
“You, you are asking me? What about you? Aren’t you married to lord Rafael?” his eyes turned dim when he asked so.
If possible he wanted to marry her and start a new family. But would she leave a strong and powerful vampire like Rafael to spend her life with a no name witch like him.
He may have powers but it was nothing in comparison to Rafael who could trample on him any time he wanted.
“I have already told you that our marriage was just a contract and it would end with the end of Vincent and my father.
You have three days’ time until I leave him for good. If you want us to go out and date for a while then confess to me once we are done.” she spoke without any embarrassment when his face turned bashful.
He looked so red as if blood would start to drip out of his face any moment but a wide and silly grin formed on his face at the same time as he nodded his head.
He felt like butterflies were running in the pit of his stomach. Not only blood but happiness was dripping out of his face that amazed her.
How happy he was to be with her! Even Annie had left her that made her wonder if anyone had truly loved her in all her life.
If this witch could love and treasure her, then she was sure that she would have a happy life with him.
