Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 10

10 Chapter 10

Watch you back. Death is coming.

Is this note written with blood? Oh, God.

"What are you doing here?" suddenly Lucian was in the study.

"What is this note?" I asked.

"It's nothing," he said taking it from me and putting it back.

"Is someone threatening you or is it a joke?" I asked worriedly.

"It's nothing you need to worry about," he said grabbing my wrist and dragging me out of the study. He had a worried look on his face which told me that there was definitely something going on.

"Did you like my present?" he asked before I could ask any further questions.

"Yes, but why? I thought you were angry with me"

"I was and I still am," he said leading the way to the dining room "sit down and let's eat."

I did as he said. He had that aura that signaled danger again. He sat opposite me and when our eyes met I could see flames in them, they weren't calm. Something was definitely different about him, maybe there is something to the rumors.

"How did you bring Lydia and Ylva?" I really wanted to know. Palace maids were never supposed to leave the palace since they can spill secrets of the palace. Once you enter the palace there is no way out, so he couldn't have bought them. He looked up from his plate and stared at me for a while.

"I told the king.... that I would kill you otherwise," he said calmly. I choked on my food. Coughing and breathing for air my hand grabbed the glass of water. Drinking the water slowly I could finally breathe.

Lucian studied Hazel and waited to see the fear in her eyes even though he hoped she wouldn't fear him but to his disappointment she did. She looked scared and confused. He was already pissed that she just two days ago thought that he would kill her or beat her just because she didn't listen to him and now she looked at him as if he really would kill her. Maybe he was wrong when he thought she would be different. He didn't even know why he went through all trouble to bring her maids.

" I said that because it was the only way to bring them. You don't really think I would kill you, do you?" he said trying hard to control his anger and frustration.

"Then why did you say that you would burn me?" she asked.

"Because...that's what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and kills people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?" he said standing up from his seat and hitting the table with his fist which made her jump from her seat and stare at him in shock and fear. He hated that look in her eyes so he strode out of the room not wanting to see her anymore.

Inside his study, he stared at the note.

Watch you back death is coming.

The young maids stared at him with excitement. He could hear their giggles and whispers.
