Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 9

9 Chapter 9

A shiver went down my spine. The way he said it and the look in his eyes told me he was serious.

"Why are you shocked? If I can beat you and kill you then why not burn you?"

My throat went dry and I couldn't bring myself to say something. Sighing, he stood up and left without a word.

I didn't see him for the rest of the day. He didn't come for breakfast or lunch and when it was time for dinner I asked one of the guards where he was.

"His Highness went on a business journey, he won't return until tomorrow," He explained.

Even if he was angry, he should have told me. Yet another night I slept alone, but instead of feeling relieved, I felt lonely.

When I woke up in the morning the first thing that came to my mind was Lucian. Was he still on his journey or had he already arrived?

"Has his highness come yet?" I asked the maid while she combed my hair.

"No your highness" I sighed in disappointment. What if he was still angry and decided not to come?

A knock on the door made me jump out of my chair. Lucian!! Maybe a maid has come to inform his arrival but no one opened the door. Strange.

"Come in," I said and the door opened.
