“Can you stop that?” He asked with a glare and she stopped laughing immediately.
“Sorry, sir.”
“Come on, tell the truth already.”
“I just told you six truths, none of it was a lie.”
“Yeah, whatever, just tell me the truth.”
“Okay, you are pretty, I think you are cute and you have a nice body.” He said meaning it as a lie and she smiled happily.
“You are not wrong sir, thank you.” She blushed and Hayden shook his head.
“I got everything right so you will do anything I say.”
“Whatever.” He replied.
“My turn.” She said and gulped out of the smoothie then cleared her throat.
“My three wishes are, I wish to have a better life, I wish my mum will get better and I wish to get married to a sexy man.” She giggled and Hayden scoffed.
“A sexy man.” He muttered and rolled his eyes.
“Now, I will say three things, tell me if it's a truth or a lie.”
“I am happy, I have a crush on you, you are hot.”
“They are all true except you being happy, you are sad.”
“How did you know?”
“Obviously, I am hot and every female has a crush on me, even a kid. And you are sad because I can sense the sadness and fear coming from you.”
“Sense?”
“Yes, it's part of me being a demon.”
“Can you stop joking? It's starting to get boring.” She said and he rolled his eyes.
“Okay, I will say three things, two of them will be a lie and one will be true.” She said and he nodded in response.
“So, I like Bryan, I love you, I love my life.”
“What is the truth? What is the lie?”
“You liking Bryan is a truth, the other two are a lie.”
“Why do you keep getting it? And don't tell me it is because you are a vampire or a demon.”
“Just a lucky guess.” He replied and she smiled.
“So, I won. What is in it for me?”
“Nothing.” She replied and gulped her smoothie, she emptied the bottle and picked Hayden’s own.
“Can I have yours?” She asked and he nodded.
“Aren't you hungry?” She asked and he shook his head in response.
“But you haven't eaten all day and during breakfast, you didn't eat, you just drank a cup of coffee.”
“Vampires don't eat, all we drink is blood.”
“Okay, everything you are trying to get me out of this house won't work, I am not scared.”
“You should be.”
“You are so annoying.” She replied and opened his smoothie.
“I get that a lot.” He replied and he suddenly got a text from his phone, he stared at it and turned it off.
“I have to go.” He said and stood up.
“Why?” She asked as she also stood up.
“Nothing, I am tired and I need to sleep.” He said and walked back towards the house, she followed him and they both walked down the stairs.
“Goodnight.” She said as he hurriedly walked away, he didn't give her a response and she shrugged before walking into her room.
She sighed and fell on her bed immediately, she was about to check her list when she realized she dropped it in the game room.
“Ugh, I will just get it tomorrow, I am so exhausted.” She muttered and slowly closed her eyes.
*********
Ashley woke up the next day feeling better and with good energy. She had other things to experience today and she is going to talk to Hayden about it after breakfast.
She walked out of her room and walked downstairs, she got to the dining room and smiled happily when she saw Bryan.
“Bryan!” She called happily and Hayden rolled his eyes.
“Oh, hey Ashley, how are you?” He asked and she sat beside him.
“I am fine, and you?”
“Am good, how is the reviewing going?”
“Good.”
“Is your male character cooperating?” He asked and she suddenly noticed Hayden was also in the room.
“Oh, hey Hayden. I didn't see you there.” She said.
“Of course, you didn't.” Hayden replied and continued with his phone.
“So, is he cooperating?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“But he told me I have to be submissive to him.”
“Of course, it is part of the role you would play.”
“Oh, I had no idea.”
“It is okay.”
“Oh and he also told me some other things.”
“Things like what?”
“He told me he is a vampire and a demon, he said he is three thousand years old, he owns this house, all this being about a movie and a review is all a lie and everything I am seeing and experiencing is all a fantasy.”
“What?”
“Yes, that was what he said.”
“Freeze!” Bryan ordered and snapped his finger and Ashley froze including the maids, he turned to Hayden and glared at him.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Bryan asked.
“Did you just cast a spell on them? You know that is wrong and against the rules.”
“Don't fucking try to change the subject dweeb, what if she believes you?”
“She won't, she can't actually believe that.”
“Don't say anything stupid to her again.”
“I will, you are just wasting your time over this.”
“No I am not, I have a good feeling it will work this time.”
“No, it won't work. It hasn't been working for over two thousand years.”
“It will work this time Hayden.”
“It won't.”
“Just don't say anything stupid to her again.”
“Then get her out of my house, I already told you I don't need your help, Bryan.”
“Yes you do and she is the solution to your problem so deal with it.” He replied and snapped his finger before turning to her.
“Don't listen to whatever he says, he is just trying to scare and annoy you.” Bryan said with a smile and she nodded.
“I thought as much.” Ashley replied and stuck her tongue out at Hayden.
“What?” Hayden asked and Bryan sighed.“Yes, she might not wake up.”“How many percent possibilities is that it will be successful?” Ashley asked and Hayden turned to her.“Oh, it's 50-50.”“Okay, I will do it.” “What? No.” Hayden yelled and walked to her.“Yes, I will.”“No, you are not, what if you don't wake up?”“What if I die anytime? Huh? Then we won't get to be with each other.”“But you might not wake up.”“Might Hayden, it's not certain that I won't wake up.”“I don't care, you are not doing it. I own you so I have every right over you.”“You can't tell me what to do and not do, I am not a child.” She yelled and he scoffed.“I don't think you know what being a mate is, you have to be submissive to me which means you will do everything I ask you to do.”“I am not some kind of an item or property you can control, I can do whatever I want. So what if I don't listen to you?”“I want you to listen to me.” He yelled.“Okay, this is getting worse. My bad.” Bryan muttered and watche
“Good morning beautiful.” Ashley heard in her sleep and felt soft kisses all over her face, she giggled as she slowly opened her eyes. She saw Hayden smiling at her and she chuckled before sitting up, he pecked her lips and she sighed.“Morning.” She replied and he nodded.“Go and get ready and come down for breakfast, I bet my baby is hungry already.” “Yeah, yeah.” Ashley laughed and he helped her up, she walked into the bathroom and he waited for her in the room. She walked out of the closet minutes later dressed in her clothes and Hayden smiled at her.“You aren't dressed in my clothes today.” He said as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Well, that is because I am back in my room which is filled with my clothes and not yours. I can't enter your room in this mansion because you never let me.” “Oh, do you want to see it?” “Seriously?”“Yes, I mean, it's not really that bad.” “Why don't you want me to see it exactly?”“You will find out but that will be after b
Bryan stared at the Princess as she walked angrily away from the throne room, he followed her and she glanced at him as she walked.“Stop following me.” She said with her voice starting to break and he ignored her.“Slow down Ariadne.” He said and she ignored him, she got to her room and tried to close the door but he got in forcefully.“What do you want Bryan?” She asked with her eyes starting to get clouded with tears.“You don't have to cry, I get the fact that you are upset but you really don't have to cry.” He said and she rolled her eyes which made a tear roll down her eyes.“I never knew you could cry.” Bryan chuckled and she glared at him.“Yeah, sorry. My bad.”“Please leave.”“No.” He replied with a frown and moved closer to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and sighed.“Don't cry over something your selfish mother did.”“Yeah, you are right.” She muttered and wiped her tears, Bryan chuckled and creased her waist.“So, you hate me.” Bryan said and she smiled.“And yo
“Oh my God, you guys pulled it off really well, I never expected it.” Ashley said as Hayden held her tightly from behind. They were still in the garden and everyone was still celebrating the successful proposal.“Yeah, we did. All thanks to Ariande.” Hayden said and the Princess smiled happily.“I played my role right.” She said proudly and Ashley nodded.“Yes, you did. Thank you so much.” Ashley said and pulled away from Hayden, she walked to the Princess and hugged her.“I want a hug now.” Bryan said walking to her as she pulled away from the Princess. Ashley chuckled and hugged.“Now I get the reason why you don't want me to hug you, you don't want me to read your memories.” “Yeah.” He chuckled and hugged her again.“Hey, that’s enough.” Hayden said and pulled her to himself, Ashley laughed and hugged him.“I am so happy.” She giggled and he smiled at her.“Yeah, me too.” Hayden replied and kissed her.“Yes! Let's celebrate this!” The Princess yelled and the maids around smiled ha
After they both got their hair treated and styled, they did their nails and they both walked out of the saloon. They entered the chariot and Princess Ariande heard Ashley’s stomach grumble.“Hey, are you hungry?” She asked and Ashley nodded in response. “Okay, there is a restaurant close to this place, let’s head there.” The Princess said and she nodded. They got to the restaurant and Ashley smiled knowing it was familiar.“What's with the smile?” The Princess asked as they walked in.“Oh, Hayden has brought me here before but it was like a month ago.”“That's nice.” She replied and smiled, the people in the restaurant bowed as usual and the waiter and waitress treated Ashley and the Princess well. People left the restaurant for them and Ashley turned to the Princess and she shrugged with a smile.They both sat down and ordered for what they wanted, Ashley ordered a lot of things which surprised the princess.“Are you sure you want to eat all of these?” The Princess asked as they st
Ashley slowly opened her eyes and sighed, she frowned when she couldn't find Hayden beside her and she slowly sat up.“Great, you are finally awake.” She heard a familiar voice and she flinched when she saw the Princess walking out of her closet.“Princess Ariadne.” She called surprised and stood up immediately, she bowed and the Princess smiled.“Oh, please. Stop that.” She said and Ashley looked up at her.“Hmm, is... Is everything okay? Why are you here?” Ashley asked nervously and the Princess smiled at her.“Yes, dear. Come on, hurry into the bathroom, we have to get ready and why are you up so late?” She asked and Ashley stared at her surprised, she has never been this confused in her life.‘What the hell is going on? And where the fuck is Hayden?’ She thought and the Princess smiled.“I know you are confused but don't worry, am not going to hurt you. See? No claws, no fangs, just me in my human form.”“Okay. Am sorry, please where is Hayden?” She asked.“Oh, he put me in charge
