After the long night that was full of chaos to the world, Hazel woke up in the arms of her lover, her husband the only one who took care of her when she had none.


    She had a gentle smile on her face as she stared at his sleeping figure.


    As a vampire, his reflexes were too strong, so it was a rare chance to see him sleeping so carefree.


    His eye leashes must be denser than her. And his skin! It felt like it was glowing under the sunlight. He was so handsome that she could not take her eyes away from him.


    She kept staring at him as if she was trying to ingrain his features in her heart.


    She wondered how they have met and fallen in love with each other when they belong to twopletely different leagues.


    Her heart started to throb and a proud smile formed on her lips that was full of indulgence.


    “Why did you bring a girl like her? She would not be of any use? Not to forget that she is a witch! What if she would have a few tricks up her sleeves?” Be raised her head and stared at the youngdy who talked like a brooding old woman.


    Her frown grew deeper when Scarlet realized that be looking back into her eyes and she spat with anger,


    “She is not even a trained one. Look how she is looking back to her master without a fear in this world. Is she not afraid that I will give her out and then put them in showcases to cover the cost we have spent on her.” she said with a vicious smile that told that it was not just an empty threat.


    If it would have been anyone else, they would have trembled with fear and looked away but Be kept staring at Scarlett as if she was provoking her.


    Scarlet had never been good with temper. She was furious that a ve was challenging her authority, she walked upto Be and pped her hard on her cheeks.


    “What do you think you are staring at?” she asked in a challenging voice but Be only continued to stare at her with the same cold and hollow look when Scarlet pped her again.


    Her chest heaving up and down with rage as she raised her head to hit Be again when she stared back into the eyes of Scarlet as if mocking her actions in her heart that made Scarlet frown again.


    “Do you think you have the right to raise your head? Huh? You are just a ve, an object that is brought by us.” snarled Scarlet with a cold smile on her face as she turned to look back at Rafael who did not take any initiative to help the girl whose cheeks were swollen and lips hade out of her mouth.


    “You know I have changed my mind. Since she felt that she was so high and mighty, I want to see her suffering here. Since Diana and Damien are still not back from the academy, I will have him for my entertainment.” her voice was cold, like a viper in the dark that was slowly trapping its target, she had an amiable smile on her face.


    But Be could tell that the woman would be anything but kinder to her.


    Rafael did not seem to find fault in her words, so he nodded his head without a care.


    “Hmm, I do not care what you do with her, but do not hurt her. I still need her as my blood servant. That is why I have brought her in the first ce.” Scarlet nodded as she ruffled the hair of the young girl whose head was still bowed. As if she was caressing a pet, she was enjoying the feeling of owning a human.


    It was not bad and wondered why she did not have ves in the past.


    “Yes, I will be gentle. Since you have brought her as your blood ve, would you like to have her tonight?” she asked with a slight chuckle when Rafael nodded.


    He looked at Be who was still trying to show her wild look as if she would kill any of them if theye closer to her and then at Scarlet who finally did not find the girl as a threat.


    “Then I will be waiting in my room.” mf! Be cursed the man in her heart. But before she couldin against it or say something, she was dragged by maids into arge and luxurious washroom.


    She was washed, cleaned, massaged and even given a spa there.


    She lookedpletely different when the maids were done.


    Her skin was shining like rare diamonds. Her face was blooming like a fresh rose. Her hair looked soft and smooth. She never knew that her hair could be so silky.


    As if the girl reflected in the mirror was not her but someone different, she continued to stare in the mirror for long until she was dragged back by the maids.


    No matter how much she has changed. The chain in her hands and feet were a proof that she was still a ve and is at the mercy of that man and his family.


    “You have to rx. The lord is not that rough. If you try to struggle or rebel, you are going to lose his favor.


    But if you want to survive here for long. You have to ept his advances. You are lucky that he wants you.” exined the maid as if she was a lucky woman when she frowned.


    Her face contorted and she spat in anger,


    “If it is so lucky to feed a beast you blood and let him use you, then why not you all do that in my stead.” Her words were like a cold p on the face of the maids who were trying to coax her and their faces turned ugly.


    “Who told you that I would ept if a fool like them tried to touch me or betray my orders.”
