The Tyrant's Pet

"I feel so full I think I would throw up."

Aries rolled to her side, feeling a bit dizzy from gobbling her breakfast so fast, only to regret it right after. Just minutes ago, right after she woke up, and slowly panicked seeing Abel not on her side, he returned while pushing a food trolley with him.

It was almost hilarious and a sweet sight to see him acting like a butler. He was the emperor of a very rich country, so watching him serve her breakfast on the bed made her feel spoiled.

Well, it was his fault in the first place that her knees still felt wobbly. She ate everything because she was hungry, but her stomach felt so heavy now.

"Stop rolling before you do."

She shifted her eyes at the door. There, Abel returned after taking the trolley out of the room for someone to get it.

He sauntered towards the bed, sitting on the edge of the mattress. He smirked at Aries, who was paralyzed on the bed while holding her stomach.

"I requested for medicines so your indigestion won't worsen," he reassured, carefully collapsing on the bed. He adjusted his position until he was lying on his side, facing her squarely.

"We are so... tardy, darling." He snickered. "After eating, instead of moving around, here we are. We'll inflate like balloons in a week if we keep this up."

"You don't have to stay in here and you know the reason I'm stuck in here," she mumbled, clicking her tongue in annoyance. "Abel, you have to bathe me later."

"My darling, do you enjoy bossing me around?"

Aries bit her tongue and shook her head. "Of course not. I'm just saying I prefer you, but if you don't want to, then I'll ask someone else to help me bathe."

"My... look at her." Abel snapped his tongue lightly before he chuckled. It was obvious she was enjoying his services, even if she verbally deny it. Well, not that he mind. He wouldn't allow another person to touch Aries for now, since his possessive nature was reigning over him.

He propped his temple against his knuckles, eyes still on her. "Of course I will bathe you, and then fuck you real quick so you won't catch a cold."

"Do you really have to say that aloud?" came out a helpless voice.

"For you to know? Yes." He nodded with his lips closed. "Don't worry. It'll be quick."

Aries pressed her lips into a thin line, lowering her eyes. They had done it last night until dawn and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Even so, she felt a little conflicted as he spoke about it as if he was simply reminding her to take her medicine.

Thinking about last night, her face flashed in red. She remained silent as she calmed her heart. When she recollected her thoughts, she raised her eyes only to furrow her brows.

Abel wasn't smirking evilly after teasing her, just as she expected. Instead, he seemed to be deep in his own thoughts.

"Are you thinking of the current state of affairs?" she asked, knowing the emperor had more important things to do instead of lying down with her. Although Abel had always claimed he could finish his work with his eyes closed, she couldn't forget he was still an emperor and had bigger responsibilities.

Abel quirked a brow and snapped his eyes, setting them back to her. "No. Darling, just in case you need to know, when I am with you, there's nothing that can distract me but you."

"Uhh... does that mean you are thinking about me when I'm right in front of you?" came out a quick follow-up.

"Yes."

"About?"

"Adopting you as my sister." He answered with a straight face, making the side of her lips twitch. "I am thinking of adopting you as my sister. Unless you want to be my adoptive daughter, I do not mind, honestly."

"Do you really want to marry me off?" she gasped as this topic had popped up more frequently now. Was it because he already had her? No, Aries erased that assumption the second it hovered over her head. Abel had mentioned this even before last night.

"I do." He blinked innocently, making Aries look at him with conflicting emotions in her eyes.

Aries bit her lower lip as she took deep breaths to calm her raging heart. Seeing her reaction, Abel raised a brow before knitting them.

"Right... I'm so used that you seem you can read my mind that I thought you already know." He giggled, leaning his face forward only for her to draw her head back. He frowned and looked at her with puppy eyes, but her eyes and countenance remained cold.

"What sort of political deal you're trying to close for you to consider adopting me as your sister to sell off?" she inquired, trying her best to understand his reasoning before getting angry. Aries reached her hand to his collar, eyes on him.

"Can you tell me clearly so I can understand? I swear. Abel. You're driving me crazy."

Abel held the hand that was clipping his collar, a smug smirk reigning his face. He guided her hand to his lips, planting a kiss on the back of her hand, eyes on Aries.

"It's not politics, darling. It's personal," he dawdled, leaning forward to whisper in her ears. "Maganti Empire."

As soon as his last remarks caressed her ears, Aries froze. All she could do was watch Abel draw his head back with an evil smirk, eyes glinting with contempt. Her heart was racing, thumping loudly against her ribcage.

Did she hear him correctly? There was no way she was mistaken. He did say Maganti Empire. The place that screwed her over that until now she was suffering mentally.

"It's a good time to screw someone over." Abel tucked her hair behind her ear gently, narrowing his eyes.

"The Maganti Empire and Haimirich are in the talks about diplomatic relations. And I was thinking of sending my sister through marriage and be the judge if they are worthy." The side of his lips stretched even broader and more wicked.

"What do you think, darling? Shall I leave their fates on the palm of your hands?" he enticed, like a devil luring her to commit countless sins.

p Sins… she would happily embrace.

"Yes," Aries breathed out, staring at him straight in the eye. "Happily."
