There was a shine in her eyes as Viola looked at Chezzal. She fluttered her eyelashes and then touched her neck delicately, seductively. Chezzal raised his eyebrow at what she was doing and then scoffed. He turned his attention back to Meryl who was staring at Viola.
When she didn’t budge from her place, Viola frowned at her and said, “Didn’t you listen to what I just said? Mother and Lord Alex are waiting for you in the main hall.”
Before Meryl could take a step forward to leave, Brishor growled, “From now on every conversation that will take place with Meryl has to be in my presence. So, Meryl will not go anywhere. If anyone wants to talk to her, it better be when I am around.”
Viola was stunned into silence. Suddenly this man was showing so much dominance over Meryl, but she knew that it was becaus

Anxious as hell, Judith looked at Lord Alex for support but he too was bewildered and was staring at Brishor incredulously. “I am here to buy the estate,” said Lord Alex. “The deal with Lady Judith was that once I buy the estate, I will also marry Lady Meryl.” Brishor shrugged. “So, what can I do?” Lord Alex was offended by his indifferent demeanor. “So, you can't interfere in our plans. I will marry Meryl.” He got up and took the ring out of his pocket that he had retrieved from the velvet box which Brishor had crushed. “Meryl is mine and I will marry her. If I don’t marry her, then this deal is off!” Saying that he walked towards Meryl to make her wear the ring forcibly. But before he could reach her, Chezzal jumped at an alarming speed in front of Meryl and was standing there with a growl tha
Brishor walked with Meryl, his prized possession to the guest room where she was leading him. All the while his eyes were on her. He was burning with the need to be with her for she was still unclaimed. He knew that Chezzal was burning with the same need. Even though they had their little ‘reunion’ in the parlor, it was not enough. He just wanted to gather her in his arms and savor her, devour her for his whole life. Patsy was walking with Meryl and he wanted to pluck her away from her, feeling jealous that this maid behaved so possessively towards her. He wondered if he would have to take Patsy with them to Galdere when they left Windley with Meryl. Brishor could have easily bought the castle and removed Alex in one fine move for Meryl, but there was something he didn’t like about the place. He could smell magic. It was not strong, but it wasn’t weak e
Meryl narrated the incident at Tere’s party. By the end of Brishor was seething with anger. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head at the base of her neck. Chezzal was too stunned to hear it all. Disbelief cruised through him. How could Tere lie to them after she and Mortana together connived to send Meryl away from both of them despite knowing that she was their mate.A muscle feathered in Chezzal’s jaw when he realized that Tere wanted to create major rift between the three of them. That was why she planted the idea in his head that he should marry Meryl instead of Brishor.When Brishor settled a little, he lifted his head to look in the eyes of his mate. He had thought of a hundred wrong things about her, but now everything was clear. He smoothed her hair and said, “I am sorry that you were treated so badly in
Panic struck Judith when she saw miasma rolling towards Viola. Judith tried her best to control it and then absorb it back inside her body. When it rolled back inside her, she breathed a sigh of relief, but by that time, Viola was already feeling dazed. She looked at her soup and finished it entirely.Judith snapped her gaze to look at Meryl and saw that her soup was untouched. Angered as hell, she shot her magic towards her once again. This time it shot with such serpentine speed that Brishor was unable to hold it, but once again everyone else in the room was dazed. They became quiet with their eyes glossy. In order to take revenge, Judith commanded Meryl, “Get up and slap Chezzal.” She wanted her to sow seeds of hatred in Chezzal for Meryl, so that he started comparing her with Viola and see how refined she was.Chezzal was shocked. Hi
Dazed, Viola was cleaning the horse dung in the stables. She was completely drenched as if she was working over there for hours. Glassy eyes and a blank expression, all she was doing was looking for dung and then running to collect it with her broom. “Gods above!” Meryl breathed. “Has she gone mad?” “M’lady, what are we going to do now?” said Patsy, feeling extremely nervous. “If Lady Judith sees that her daughter is cleaning the stables, she will order lashings to the stable hand and might hurt you!” Her hands were quaking out of sheer anxiety as she watched Viola from a distance. “Did you try to get her out of this place?” asked Meryl, taking a step closer to Viola. “Don’t go!” Patsy held her arm and stopped her. “She attacked me when I went
“I need more Niambh,” said Judith with desperation in her voice. She had asked her carriage man to race it to Valerie’s estate, where first she had gone to meet a jeweler to exchange all her jewelry. The jeweler gave her a hundred and ten gold coins for it. After that she had come to Valerie’s castle.Valerie had just entered the parlor where she had received Judith. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Judith. She had given her Niambh just a week back and the effects of it lasted more than a week in her experience with every customer she dealt with. “You look like you’ve eaten horse shit!” said Valerie as she settled on the sofa opposite to Judith and crossed her legs. “What’s wrong?”Judith rolled her eyes. She hadn’t eaten but she had definitely smelt it and a lot of it. “The
As soon as Judith left for Windley, Valerie asked her maid to get a carriage ready for her. She was going to go to Napane to visit Lord Alburn and tell him about the wealth of information Judith had spilled to her. She was so excited that while she was packing, she stumbled twice on the hem of her gown.Her father gave her permission to leave because she had told him that she was going to meet Alburn’s wife, who in her father’s eyes was Valerie’s very good friend.“But why this sudden urgency, Valerie?” asked her father as he placed his pipe on the ashtray.“I think Lady Susan is pregnant again. She has asked me to give her company because she doesn’t want the pregnancy while Lord Alburn wants it. I am only going there to console her,” she replied wit
Viola watched Judith taking out a small bottle of red draft. Judith’s eyes gave a warning to Viola when she opened her mouth to ask her about it. Viola snapped her mouth shut.“Meryl?” Judith called her in a pained voice.Meryl whipped her head towards her mother. Nervously, she asked, “What is it—” but she became absolutely quiet when a thick fog-like miasma shot towards her face and after that she didn’t remember anything. Even Viola was surrounded by the same miasma and she too had gone blank.“Drink this,” Judith ordered Meryl in a harsh voice, handing her the bottle with the draft.Meryl took the bottle from her mother’s hand and without a question, opened the lid and drank the entir
