Sully was sitting on the couch, her knees bent and tucked under her thighs. Her hands were shaking. Her eyes were closed. She was burning up.

“Sully,” I called, cupping her face. Her skin was very hot.

After we returned from the library, a fever took over and she had been in bed since then. She refused to go to have dinner. I sneaked in some bread and soup. She drank a spoonful of soup and ran to the bathroom to throw up.

Then, she sat on the couch and refused to move. It had been a long time since then. She had not moved an inch. She groaned occasionally and called my name, but that was it.

I called the maids and made them bring me a bowl of ice-cold water and a small piece of cloth. I sent them back again.

I sat beside her, wet the cloth and wiped her face with it. I undressed her and wiped her entire body with it. I had never taken care of anyone before. However, I was surprised to find that I did not find it uncomfortable. A little foreign, but that was to be expected since it was

  • The Kidnapped Bride   Sully

    The main mansion was in the ruins. Did my father’s men use some sort of explosive as well? Well, it certainly seemed like they did.Demian did not come to meet me. Instead, I was led by some servants to a mansion, quite smaller than the main one. Dela and Rosalia were staying on the mansion beside this one.The servants led me to a chamber. It was spacious and had red curtains which attracted my attention right away. Did Demian choose this chamber for me? For us?“Where is my husband?” I asked the butler. His name was Michael. I knew because he introduced himself. Other servants were filling into the room with my belongings.“I do not know the whereabouts of Lord Demian. However, he told me to tell you that you should not worry about him and that he will be back soon,” Michael said. He had floppy brown hair that reminded me of Leo and small dark brown eyes that looked black. “And he also suggests that you should not accept any invitation from anyone.”“Invitation? Who is going to send

    I sat in the carriage uncomfortably because comfort was not an option when you were traveling via a carriage.Dalia sat on the seat opposite mine. She was inspecting something in her nails.“I want to ask you a lot of questions, my lady. But I think you might get offended,” she said without looking at me.“If you talk to me while looking me in the eye, I might not get offended,” I said. I hated it when someone did not look me in the eye while talking. Especially, if that act was deliberate, not something unconscious.Dalia raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes were blue like the ocean.“It’s about Leo, isn’t it?” I said.She nodded.“He talked to me about you and quite tenderly as well. He told me that you two have been friends for a long time, since you two were basically children. I wanted to know if you two had any previous physical relationship.” She was direct. She did not sound impolite, just direct.“I never had any physical relationship with anyone before my husband. Leo

    Demian did not come. But he sent a carriage to take me back to the estate. I still did not know exactly what transpired there. But I knew the gist.Three days ago, in the early morning, I got the news from Asher that Jade Star was dead. Asher seemed rather pleased about it and he kept staring at me with curious eyes as if he wanted to see me break. He gave me the impression that he would enjoy to see me break very much.‘Is he a sadist or something of that sorts?’“Who killed him?” I had asked.“No one knows,” Asher had said in a way that clearly meant something else; it was as if he had been saying that- ‘no one but I knows.’“What do you mean by that?” I had asked again.“The Head had him locked, but someone went in there and killed him. Decapitated his body. Before killing him, the killer tortured him as much as possible.”It was Demian. I did not even have to ask anyone to know that. Perhaps there was no proof of Demian actually doing it, but I knew it was him. He did it for me. H

    Jade Star was chained to the wall, blood dripping from the tips of his fingers where his nails had been.I felt nothing but anger when I looked at him. He should be suffering much more.“What are you doing here, boy? Came to talk?” Jade Star asked. He was angry too. He was frustrated. He just tried not to show it.“You hurt my wife,” I said.“Your wife?” He let out a bitter laugh. “You took away my daughter! Your father took away my sister! And you are saying I hurt your wife?”“Sully went to you because she thought you would protect her, just like you should have, because she is your daughter. You asked her whether she was raped by me or not and she said she consented. You did not like it when she told you that she was pregnant. You beat her up cruelly and you caused a miscarriage.”“I do not regret a single thing I did,” he spat.“You hurt the woman I love. You hurt her not just physically. You caused her to lose a father even when he is alive,” I said calmly. I did not feel calm.“

    Ten days passed in horrifying waiting. I was worried about Demian. There had been no word from him. I heard that some of the members of the Silverclaw family were gravely injured. I just wished that my husband was not one of them.“Are you okay?” Leo asked. He handed me a cup of tea.I took the cup and peeked inside. “Why is it green?”“It’s green tea?”“I hate green tea.” I handed the cup back to him. Leo shrugged and took a sip.“That’s all they had,” he said.Leo sat down beside me on the bed.“You are worried about your husband,” he said. It was not a question. He stated it like a fact.I nodded. “I haven’t heard from him in a long time. I’m worried about him. With all the news coming from everywhere… If he gets hurt…”“The Silverclaws basically won this stupid war,” Leo said. “Some of the men of House Star was doing rampage around here, but that will be sorted soon.”“Last night, I dreamed my father’s men coming to this inn and…” I actually had a nightmare about those men trying

    “I don’t think my husband told you to keep an eye on me like that!”“Like what, my lady?” Asher asked. A smirk was playing on his face.“You were eavesdropping,” I said. “Now, love, there is no reason for that, is there?”“I was wondering if the rumors were true,” he said.“The rumors?” I repeated. For a while, it did not make sense. And then it clicked. “Ah! The rumors about me and an alchemist!”“Your husband even put you two in the same chamber for the night. Well, that intrigued me,” Asher said.“You kept an eye on us in the room as well, did you not?” I asked, although I did not have to.“I was disappointed though,” Asher said coolly.“Seriously? Why would I have an affair with another man when my husband is everything I wanted?” I said.Leo went out for a while. Asher and many of the guards were told to keep an eye on me in case someone tried to attack me. They were supposed to be stealthy, but Asher, for some reason, was not being so.“For starters, he chained you up,” Asher sa
