The Taste of Seduction - Chapter 114

After Meredith finished talking with Atlas, the hollow feeling in her heart disappeared. She felt so much better, like a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

The fact that he understood her situation and even offered her advice made her heart swell with love. Her man truly was the best.

Her lips curled up into a soft smile at the thought of having such a perfect man. She will follow exactly what he had advised her and wait for him to find her.

Since his uncle was Elvin she was sure they would be reunited soon, until then she had to be strong for him.

Meredith stood up from the floor and let her gaze roam around the room. Now that she was in the right senses she realized she was in suite.

She walked around taking the place in. The walls were painted in light grey.

The living room had a modern white leather sectional sofa accented with pale blue pillows facing a gray sheepskin rug with a silver leaf tree trunk accent table.

Nickel and glass modular chandelier hung over a glass coffee table adorned with an orchid centerpiece and books as decor.

A gray accent chair faced the sectional sofa adding a darker contrast than the white sectional sofa facing a wall with black and blue abstract art over a black and white credenza.

A simple white framed fireplace surrounded a shiplap wall and over it, a TV was concealed by the shiplap doors with black sliding rails.

Meredith raised her brows surprised, honestly she didn’t think the people here used television. Did they have their own channels?

She moved further the place and found a kitchen. It was a simple white and gray kitchen featuring a light gray paneled vent hood placed over a swing-arm pot filler and a stainless steel stove flanked by light gray stacked cabinets.

A pair of clear glass globe pendants illuminate a light gray kitchen island topped with white marble fitted with a sink and vintage faucet lined with backless brass bar stools with seats covered in white slipcovers.

A dark stained kitchen floor led to a wall of floor to ceiling china cabinets fitted with glass cremone bolt doors surrounding a small kitchen desk topped with an iPad. She really wasn’t sure if it was an ipad but it sure looked like it.

The kitchen was connected to the dining room, which had a table big enough for a feast.

After the tour, Meredith’s favorite place in the chamber was the patio which connected to the open kitchen and dining room area.

The patio featured an outdoor white brick fireplace and hearth, brown wicker outdoor sofas and a brown teak slatted outdoor coffee table. It overlooked the mountains, hills and gardens, which made it perfect for reading.

Meredith rubbed her neck and went into the bedroom.

Light gray walls frame mirrored closet doors in a gray and white bedroom featuring a white dresser accented with gray drawers lit by a crystal pendant hung beside a tall gray tufted headboard complementing a gray bed dressed in white and gray bedding topped with gray and green shag pillows.

She padded into the bathroom, stripped herself of her clothing, and stepped into the shower.

She was too tired to enjoy the bath. She quickly washed herself and got out of the water.

Her motions were robotic as she dried her hair and dressed.

The bedroom had a closet full of clothes that fitted her perfectly.

She was surprised, for a fleeting moment, to find an array of women’s clothes that were somehow all her size. But then she remembered that word again. Magic.

She huffed out a breath and shook her head before

pulling on a fluffy pajamas and pulled her hair in a messy knot on top of her head before she let sleep consumed her on the bed.

*****

A man ate peacefully with a smile on his face. He was so close to his goals and very soon all of Arkaans will bow to him. He was going to be the king and nothing was going to stop him.

He took a sip of his tea with a contented smile on his face but his peaceful breakfast in his garden was ruined by the news reported to him by his general

The princess of Arkaans has finally arrived.

When the man heard the news, his hand that

was holding the cup of tea trembled in anger.

“Imbeciles!” He angrily threw the cup of tea on the floor.

“How?!”

His voice was so loud, so thunderous, that his servants couldn’t concentrate on what he said. Their master became a different person. His eyes had warped into a miserable black.

This was the first time they were saying their kind hearted master was angry and they could tell how angry he was from his hands shaking.

But what could make him so riled up?

They bowed on the ground, as the cup broke and scattered, but no one moved to pick it up, afraid of the man’s anger would fall on them.

He angrily walked towards his office with his general behind him.

They needed a private place to talk. No one should know his plans .

“How did they find her ? Didn’t the brotherhood finish the task I gave them?”

The man asked his general, a storm brewing in his eyes.

“Elvin saved her and killed them.” He brought her to hide in Arkaans in less than twenty-four hours so the brotherhood couldn’t follow the case.”

The general replied.

The man’s nostril flared but he took a deep breath to calm down. He needed to think and not act rational.

“Well we have to get rid of her before she achieves full potential and unlock her powers or she would be unstoppable.”

The general stiffened at his master’s words.

“I don’t care how you’re going to do it but make sure you get rid of that woman.”

“I don’t think it will be easy. My spy from the palace said they saw Marcus leaving her chambers last night. If she has him behind her, it would be hard to do anything to her.”

The man clenched his fists, anger shadowing his incredible handsome face.

“Marcus…fucking bastard always messing with my plans.” The man whispered, his voice slightly trembling.

He knew how powerful the vampire prince was and how much he had a stupid sense of righteousness.

“I don’t care, we have to get rid of that woman no matter what it takes.”

He muttered, his eyes gleaming with calculating light.
