After Aaron safely took Esme back into their bedroom, he quickly headed for the study where the old Lord might be waiting for him. Pushing open the doorway, Aaron found him standing at the window side crossing his arms behind as his momentum seemed little different than other days.

Closing off the door behind, he walked over to his side and bowed apologizly,

" Forgive me for keeping you waiting, uncle. I had some unfinished business.How long have you come here? Is something happened?"

Aaron asked and waited for his answer patiently but nothing came out for a while. Just when he thought of asking again, the old lord suddenly turned around to face him.

His gaze was furious and without giving an answer,his hand suddenly gave a tight slap on Aaron's face loudly.

The brusting noise reverberated in the entire room as Aaron's face turned aside in pain. Remaining in daze for a while,he looked up at the old lord astounded and couldn't believe that what had happened just now.

No matter how many crimes he had committed in the past,his uncle never laid a single hand on him much to a slap. 

Before he could say anything further, the old Lord shouted on his face angrily,

" How can you do this Aaron?? How could you?? Haven't I warned you several times that you must promise to me , only then I will approve your proposal?? Then how dare you step into the black pool for that woman?? Did you think that I won't find it out ??"

Aaron finally understood the reason behind his anger and kept wandering that who could report to the old Lord. Tightening his lips, he looked some where else in the room and replied calmly,

" No matter what, she is my legitimate wife, uncle. I can't see her dying. She was on the verge of death after getting marked by me. How can I leave her alone at this situation?? Tell me?? Why did she has to loose her life in order to save me?? After all, we both never had any previous grudges. No matter what uncle, I am married to her legally. She is my wife till my last breath. We can't throw her away like trash."

Old lord suddenly had a disbelief look as he never imagined in his thoughts that Aaron could become so desperate for a gril. Jamming on Aaron's arms harshly, old Lord barked out in anger,

" What the fuck did you say, Aaron?? I dare you to repeat it again. You have given half of your soul powers because of a mere woman who has no status in her family. Did you think about the consequences?? Did you??? Who will obey you as their king if everyone gets to know that you have turned nothing but a powerless shit??"

Aaron knew that he had nothing to rebuke regarding his nonstop accusations. Thus he could only sigh helplessly and replied looking away sadly,

" I don't regret !!!"

Old Lord was speechless and lifted his hand up to give another slap but was halted midway looking at his face furiously. Calming down himself a bit, he squeezed each words domineeringly over Aaron's face,

" I don't care what have you done earlier or not. There is plenty of ways to regain your powers. No matter what you feel,you must get rid of this woman as soon as possible. Before the new moon comes, you must drink her blood in order to get fully recuperated. After that, I will make a plan to kill her without being noticed by anyone, you get that?? Remember Aaron,the council must not know any of it. "

Aaron's expression sank immediately as he looked up at the old lord sternly. Without feeling an ounce of fear,he explained his firm decision,

" I will drink her blood but you aren't allowed to kill her. She must stay by my side, uncle. I can't let her go at any cost. I know that you are desperate to save me but it's not necessary to kill her after this process. Why must you get rid of her?? She means no harm to me. She loves me deeply and I can see that. I have a belief that she would be able to give birth to a child for our clan. Just trust on my judgment once."

The old Lord had turned more furious and his fear had turned true in reality. Aaron had created a deep attraction towards this woman that couldn't be erased easily.

Sneering coldly,the old Lord shouted pointing his finger threateningly towards Aaron,

" Don't taste my patience, Aaron. I had permitted you only because you promised to kill her later. I can't let you stay with her never. If the council gets to know about her identity,you will be ruined, ruined!!!!!!!! Fine, you can't kill her, right? I will arrange anyone to kill her after you complete your mission. "

Aaron glanced at him timidly and finally stated his words stubbornly,

" Then I'm afraid that you have to face me first before you touch her uncle. Before I'm the king of your kingdom, I am her husband. It's my duty to protect her. If I can't protect my own wife, how will I protect my tenants then?? If you are thinking that I am betraying you, you can hate me. But I need her by my side. Not because I need her but I want her, uncle. She is the only one living in this world who loves me unconditionally. I am aware of that."

The old Lord was stunned as he kept staring at Aaron disbelievingly. This was the first time that Aaron denied his order and followed his own thoughts. All had happened just because of a woman.

A woman???

The old lord kept quite for a while and replied hitting his weakest spot,

" Love?? Feelings?? Do you think that she will agree to live with you once she gets to know that you have married her just for your own purpose?? You are so fool to believe her Aaron. Once she looks through your true intentions, she will leave you and will start hating you for eternity."

Aaron's expression turned stiff in no moment as he replied aggressively,

" Whether she hates me or loves me, she must stay with me uncle. That's my final decision. If you come between my decision, there will be only war between us. Now the choice is yours completely. But she must stay with me. No one can snatch her away from me."

The old Lord couldn't believe what he was hearing now as his jaws tickled in immense anger.

He must get back Aaron on his track or else the future of vampire clan will be ruined!!!

CRIMOND HILL,

The air had turned heavy as the awkward silence from other party aroused Anna's fear more and more. Holding the baby in her arms, she hugged her like a precious treasure while Ron guarded on the doorway trying to decipher what was happening outside.

Little did Anna hoped that Ester would go back but deep down, she knew that Ester wasn't going to give up on Ayra easily. After all,his position was uncertain as long as Ayra stayed alive.

Feeling perplexed, Ron's eyes kept wandering around trying to see through their intentions but nothing found out. On the other side, Este's guards had started preparing for the fire from every corner.

They made sure that they couldn't escape away at any cost and had stepped closer circling the little villa according to Ester's command. Each was holding a burning flame which was ready to fire up the entire villa.

After they all were prepared,the leader glanced at Ester to ask for his permission silently. Ester's expression was darkened as his eyes had no pity for the people living inside the villa.

Curling up into an evil smirk, he waved his hand frantically ordering them to start up as the leader nodded in agreement.

Turning around,the leader gestured everyone to start the fire as they all threw their firing flame over the wooden villa one by one.

Soon after, the smell of burning smoke started spreading through the airs naturally as Anna's body shivered in fear. Looking outside, she spotted the blue flames of fire and shouted out in fear,

" Ron!!!!!! Fire!!!!"

Ron's face turned black immediately as he didn't know any spell to stop fire. Within a moment, the fire had spreaded through the entire villa letting out vicious sounds of burning as they both struggled to find a way.

But no matter wherever they ran,they couldn't find a way to get out from this villa as they started the fire from each corners.

Woods started falling down from the rooftop gradually as the smoke was turning heavier quickly.

During this chaos, Aanna still tried her best to safeguard Ayra but on her way of running towards the exit, a burning wood suddenly fell down on her feet as she cried out in pain...

At that moment, Ayra slipped off from her arms and directly fell into the fire...
