Prologue

EVE'S POV:-

They kicked me out of the Master's castle. They said I am the death. That is why I do not deserve to be inside of that castle. I was wearing nothing but a thin lacy nighty that reached my upper thigh. It was barely covering my bottom. 

The chilly air and falling snow made me think of my end. I was shivering with both the icy cold weather and the horrific darkness outside. I did not know why but I was always afraid of the dark. I even hated black color. 

I wrapped my arms around my body to protect myself from the chilly weather. I stood up again and knocked at the door. I did not have any more energy left in my body. "Please, for the love of Lord Adrian Cerberus, open the door. I will freeze to death out here." I begged them to open the door but instead, I heard them laughing at my misery. 

"What are you doing outside of the castle? Did I not tell you to stay inside and not to go out without my permission?" My heart sank in the pit of my stomach as I heard his voice again. I started sobbing because I did not know what else to do. It was not my fault. 

"Answer me!" He yelled at me and I jumped in fear. I turned around only to see his angry face and his red glowing eyes.

"It is not my fault. I did as you had ordered me Master. They dragged me from my bed and pushed me out." I replied to him between my sobs and hiccups.

"They did what? Since how long you have been out here?" He asked me in a worried tone. His face softened a bit as he dropped everything he had in his hands. He quickly stripped off his coat then he quickly covered my almost frozen body with his warm coat. I moaned as the coat covered half of my body.

"I do not know how long it has been. I am starting to feel numb." I replied to him. I suddenly started to feel heavy headed. My head was spinning and my body suddenly felt numb. I fell on the ground but before my head would have hit the ground, the Master grabbed me by my waist. He pulled me up into his arms and carried me bridal style. That was all I saw before the darkness engulfed me.

I opened my eyes again and found myself lying into someone else's bed. It was not even my room. I looked around and found the Master lying beside me. He had one of his arms wrapped around my waist. My heart started jumping inside my rib cage as his breath faned upon my face. His minty breath awoke a funny feeling inside the pit of my stomach. I was more like wrapped around his body. I was hugging his tall and strong body tightly.

I gulped hard and started stepping backwards. Master Adrian did not stop there. He kept walking towards me. That funny feeling inside my stomach awoke again. This time, I also felt something throbbing between my legs. My breaths were uneven and my heart was like it would jumped out of my chest. 

Master Adrian sniffed the air once then he inhaled as deeply as he could. "Ah! My dirty little Eve is wet down there. I can smell your scent. You are more than wet right now." He said in a tone that made me shiver. Not in fear, not because of the sorrow but because of something else. 

"Desires, that's your desires you are feeling right now, Eve. Now stop this game and come to me." He said on a seductive tone. He was right. It was my desires. They were pooling out of my center. Before I could think of anything, my back hit the study table inside of the room. 

In a blink of an eye, Master Adrian was standing in front of me. My breath hitched as he leaned in. He grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled it. His action did not hurt me at all. He looked into my eyes with a smirk that screamed his victory loudly.

He crashed his lips on mine and I closed my eyes. It was like a dream come true. I always wanted to do all that with him. But I never got that chance. After that night, no one was allowed to even look at me. Master Adrian made it clear that if anyone would do anything to hurt me, he would be facing Master Adrian himself.

I moaned in his mouth as he pushed his tongue inside my mouth. His tongue caressed my tongue in a most loving way. It felt like he was trying to tell me that I was loved. Love! Something that I had never witnessed in my whole life. Even my own mother who had carried me for nine months then given me birth. Even my mother hated me and tried to kill me many times.

My lungs started burning due to the lack of oxygen but I did not want him to stop. He pulled away and I pouted. I did gasped loudly for air, but I still did not want him to stop. It felt magical. He chuckled and shook his head. He brushed his knuckles over my cheek and his other hand was cupping the back of my neck.

"Why do you worry? I will not stop caring and loving you, ever. I promise you, Eve." He said and my eyes filled with salty water. I grabbed his hand and kissed his palm. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him as tightly as I could. He pulled me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He was rubbing my back like I was a baby.

"I know you have promised me. But it feels like I am in a dream that will not last longer. It feels like this lovely dream will soon be over. And I will wake up again in that nightmare." I whispered softly into his ear and he chuckled. I did not know why he chuckled but it again tickled the inside of my stomach.
