520 [Bonus chapter]

“And this is your child?” Hazel waved at the young boy who looked at her with fearful eyes as he had seen how dark light was leaving her body when Greta called him closer and then forwarded him towards Hazel.

“Yes, his name is Timothy. He is… hazel..” Hazel’s eyes moved towards her mother as she already knew what the woman wanted, “I know that I was not a good mother for you. I was not present when you needed me. But.. Last year Peter died due to ill health and I did not have any work.

I could not move freely since I was afraid the men of the palace would recognize me and then unrest. My body is at her limit too.” she paused and then bowed her head.

The words were just at the tip of her tongue but her soul shook. How could she ask the daughter whom she had never given the love and care to share her burden.

“Timothy can live here. I will send him to a good academy and make sure that he will be a fine man.” Hazel ruffled the hair of the boy who looked at her with a shock filled gaze and blinked when she smiled brightly at him.

A tear escaped the eyes of Greta, “thank you! I know that I was wrong to leave you but… thank you.” She did not know how else she could thank the young girl.

“You can stay here too.” Hazel offered but the woman was not ready to take advantage of the kindness, “I am going to be a mother too. You can help me by taking care of me and then I will need someone closer to take care of my child too.” the eyes of Greta shook as she looked at Hazel with tears in her eyes when she held the hands of Greata without any malice.

“You are more than welcome at your own house, mother.” That was the last word! The dam she was holding hard on.. Fell. and Greta cried like a child as she hugged her daughter.

“Thank you, my… daughter.” The word felt so close yet so distant as Hazel rubbed the back of her mother.

…..

“But.. the lord!” She did not want to create friction between the couple. Though her daughter was kind, the lord could feel her as a burden. Greta did not want to be selfish.

Hazel smiled and turned to look at Rafael who only shrugged, “I will be more than happy to get some help for my wife. At least this mother in law did not want to kill me.” Her words made Greta aghast when Hazel shook her head.

“See! Everyone wants you here. Come with me, and I will show both of you your rooms.” she took them away when finally the smile faded from the face of Rafael who turned to look at Damien.

“I have warned you so many times.” he said with a dark look on his face when Dami met his eyes.

“She was my sister. The only relative I had! You wanted to kill her!”

“You are still blaming me? Where did that old Dami go!” he could not understand. “Your so-called only relative wanted to get rid of you so that she could live happily with me.” he snickered as he turned to leave.

He was not going to waste his other breath on a fool.

“I know and that was the reason I let you know where we are!” Dami whispered but his voice was clear in the silent passage, “I gave her a chance. Still believing that she had not killed our mother but somewhere I already knew the result. I was just not ready to accept it.” his words paused Rafael.

“But all that would not have happened if you would have chosen her. So, I can not forgive you. At most, I can leave this palace and work somewhere else so that I do not feel the grievance towards you.” Dami looked at the young man with whom he had grown up with a distant look.

If there was any emotion left, it was dark and he did not want to hold the grudge and turn like his sister.

“I will not try to know what happened to Diana. But I will not help you if you ever need me in the future. From today onwards, I did not know you.” Rafael sighed but nodded his head.

“I will not count on you but you can count on me. You can contact me whenever you need me, Dami. for me, you will always be my brother.” Rafael patted the shoulders of Dami and then walked away leaving the young vampire mule over what happened.

As Rafael walked out, he saw Declan coming towards him with a grave look on his face.

“What happened here?” he had sensed the dark energy. First he thought that it was Hazel but then it was too strong for her to be alone. So he came back.

“Another devil who wants to live on earth.” Rafael smirked, “I can understand that hell is not much of a better place. But do all of you need to choose my palace for living?”

“I did not live in your palace.” Declan snarled back. He might be working for hazel because of Anne but he was never the servant of Rafael. “And I can take Hazel with me anytime.”

“Tsk!” Rafael looked at the man with disdain, “it would be better that you waste your breath on finding out about the girl who had come to compete with my wife and took away Diana. I will take care of my wife, myself.” Rafael remarked as he turned to leave when he paused and looked at the expressions of Declan again.

“You know him don’t you?” that was not a question anymore but Declan still confirmed it with a nod.

“Eve! She is the one and only daughter of the lord. She is here to break the hell on earth. And if she is behind Hazel, it would be better to call the lord.”
