Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184 - 61

"Help! Help!"

"Heaven!" Someone shook her gently.

Heaven shot her eyes open and the first thing she saw was a pair of silver eyes. She didn't know why she reacted by screaming, but Zamiel was quick to cover her mouth with his hand.

"It is only me." He assured her calmly.

She stared at him with wide eyed, her heart pounding painfully inside her chest.

"It was only a bad dream." He whispered.

Yes. It was only a dream. He was fine.

Just when he removed his hand, Kate and her guards barged into the room. Heaven sat up and Zamiel turned to the door.

Oh no!

Callum and Oliver were ready to fight but looked confused when saw Zamiel. Kate on the other hand was shocked. When she saw Zamiel sitting next to her on the bed, her eyes widened.

"Everything is alright and princess Heaven is safe. You can go back." Zamiel said, using a hypnotic tone.

Suddenly their expression changed. They looked like they had seen nothing. Turning around, they left without a word.

Zamiel turned back to her, looking concerned. "Are you alright?" He asked, cupping her cheek.

Heaven jumped up and hugged him before sobbing in his arms. She never thought it was only a dream. The warm blood against her fingers as she tried to stop the bleeding and his pained eyes had felt so real. She had truly believed that she stabbed him. She feared that she had lost him.

Zamiel wrapped his arms around her and stroke her back gently until she calmed down. Heaven pulled away from his hold and wiped her tears away. Her hair was soaked in sweat.

"What did you see that frightens you so?" He asked.

Heaven took a deep breath to calm down. She wanted to tell him about her nightmare, but she felt bad even having it. She could hurt him, but she didn't want him to think even for a moment that she had any intention of doing so.

"Zamiel. Do you trust me?" She asked.

"More than myself." He said, stroking her cheek. "And I want you to trust yourself."

Heaven nodded. "I am alright now." She assured him. "I didn't know you would come to see me."

He gave her a meek smile. "I told myself to stay away. I didn't mean to intrude. I was only worried."

She didn't mind the intrusion, but he was definitely a distraction. With him, she just wanted to be comfortable and let him take care of her. But she couldn't keep crying. Duties were awaiting.

"I should prepare to meet the king." She told him.

He gave her a nod, and Heaven pushed herself out of bed. "I need to get dressed." She said turning around. She expected Zamiel to say that he would leave, but he just sat there and stared at her.

"Do you want me to help you?" He asked at last.

Heaven was surprised. She tried to read his expression to know if he was being playful or serious, but his face gave nothing away.

"I don't think you can handle a dress." She told him. "It is more complicated than politics."

He chuckled. "I am sure. I leave you alone then."

Heaven nodded.

One moment he was sitting on the bed and the next he was standing in front of her. He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss.
