The woman blinked as she stared at Hazel with hope but doubts. She had seen how Hazel was shivering and helpless just like her daughter. She did not hold power.
Though her husband did, how could she trust a blood sucking monster in helping her and saving those young girls. She had no idea if he treated Hazel well or was he another Vincent or worse?
“This is all i can say, i know that i can not force you but if you change your decision and want my support then come to me in the next week. Once I would leave, I would be too far to help.” And I will even lose my power. I would be nothing but a normal girl who might be as afraid as you.’ she added in her heart as her eyes dimmed.
She had no idea what Rafael was doing these days, but his rejection last night cleared that he had no intention of keeping her around once he would be done with her father and brothers.
She knew that VIncent would be killed nonetheless since Rafael enjoys killing and he had no intention of keeping his enemies alive, yet she wanted VIncent to get punished for what he had done with a young girl..
“But I have no proof. I only have one last letter.. I am not even sure if it could be called a letter. It is just the last memory of my daughter that I keep closer to my heart.“ The woman wiped her tears as she took out a yellow parchment that was looking rusty and torn and on the verge of breaking. Yet she felt it had been kept like a treasure because it would have been torn a long time ago.
The woman continued to stare at it for as long as she was looking at her daughter. She caressed the paper and reluctantly passed it to Hazel who tried to hold it as carefully as she could so that it would not get torn further.
She could see how much the woman cherished this piece of paper. Opening it gently, with caution, hazel read the contents,
“I.. am sorry mother. You were right. Prince Vincent is a beast. He took me.. I did not want to live this kind of life, so I am leaving.. I am sorry that I do not have any clothes except this bedsheet. He had told me that he would bring his friends later..
I.. I don’t want to live this kind of life, mother. I hope you can forgive me and I hope you will be my mother again in the next life and I will not hurt you that time.
In that life, I will pay every care and affection I owe you and I will be the daughter as you always wanted me to be. So, please, please do not cry over a foolish person who was never good to you.
I hope you can forget about me and live a better life and I want to tell you that I have always loved you. You were my everything and I only wanted to learn medicine so that I could take care of your illness and give you a long life.
I am sorry, goodbye mother.” this!
Hazel closed her eyes. She could feel the pain and anguish in the letter but the girl was only worried about her mother till the end. She felt like a sharp dagger was pierced into her heart that was bleeding with pain.
She felt the pain her mother had faced when she had realized that her daughter was not only raped but would have been offered to many if she had killed herself.
Hazel would have done the same if she would have been in the same condition. What wrong did the girl have done to suffer such fate.
And though she was angry with Rafael, she realized how kind he had been to not touch her since he was not going to spend his life with her. He did ot want to taint her!
She passed the letter to the woman who had closed her eyes but was still sitting on the floor with a pained expression on her face.
But.. how could she use this letter to get her justice. They would just say that the woman had written the letter using her dead daughter due to the greed that had offered by hazel who wanted her husband, a vampire to be proved better and kind than her family whom she hated because they have forced her to marry a vampire
Or because she wanted more wealth. Or because her husband wanted to take over the empire. There could be thousand allegations on her and Rafael would be dragged in it too. The proof was so weak.
“How many days have passed for your daughter?”
“It has been two months!” oh! It was around the time of her marriage! It was an old case! If she started it, they would only think that she had bribed the maid when she was working for her to accuse her family.
No one would believe her! She took a deep breath as she had to think of other ways. If her brother is like that.. Then she and the maid’s daughter could not be the only victims, he must have destroyed the life of many other women.. If only she could find a few of them alive who were ready to speak against him, then she could..
“I know it is impossible, my lady. The man would have blackmailed all the girls like he had blackmailed you. He is a sadistic man who knows how to use the weakness of others.
In the end, you are so powerful, the wife of a vampire, an empress, yet you have to keep your mouth shut and bear with it. I am sure if he had called you in his room, then even you would not be able to say no!”
