Chapter 33Just as I planned tonight, I went to the brothel for women named Maiden's Lair, where male prostitutes and slaves served us, women. I arrived in disguise but held the medallion of being a VIP here."My, my... It has been a while, my esteemed customer!" I was greeted by Marchioness Carat, one of the owners of the Maiden's Lair, as she eyed me in a different clothing. There was a condescending smile on her lips, and she already had an idea what I came here for. "This way, madam." I did not hesitate to follow her as she ushered me to one of their private chambers that screamed seductiveness and erotic. The chamber was filled with the dim red light that added spiciness to the whole place, making me want to be taken here over and over. "I shall summon Chrisford," she said, curtsying before me, making me smile because she already knew who the man I wanted to spend my night here. On the days when my triplets chose not to sleep in my chamber, I would come here to satisfy one of
Chapter 34 Alfredo made me release from the handcuffs as he carefully got me off the bed to make me kneel on the floor after stripping me from my clothes. Gulping, I couldn't imagine that a man like him, who was mute, would dare to make a woman fall to her knees. He never said a word, but just his intense gaze was enough that there was no need for that. How? How could I easily curl up like a kitten? Alucard was the first man who had done this to me. He helped me explore so many possibilities in domination and submission when I was uncomfortable with it in the first place. He had done this when he stayed for a few days before leaving the Moon Oriental pack. And now, after years had passed, I fooled around and never found any man who could make me squirm like this, being exposed as the riding crop was caressing my chin down to my neck. I held my breath from Alfredo's action, making me gulp, eliciting excitement at how he could look at me as if he was degrading me. Without any word,
Chapter 35I watched my triplets playing with Alucard in the middle of the field when he decided he wanted us to have a family picnic near the pavilion of his castle. I felt uneasy from my seat, not because of Alucard, but because I could tell when someone was watching me. One simple to rule out was his elite knights had scattered the area. I was not a simpleton to understand that this castle was heavily guarded even though I could only see fewer royal guards patrolling the area. Even so, I couldn't locate where they were, but their watchful eyes were enough for me to know we were being watched. "For you, Your Serene Grace."I stiffened upon hearing that baritone voice coming from the man I hated. I looked up to see a hydrangea flower laid out by Alucard. My face was in disbelief after that, a silent thought that I did not want to accept, but if my kids saw that I was not on good terms with their father, things might become in a different leaf.Ultimately, I accepted it out of will
Chapter 36"You know what? Suit yourself if you are going to do that to another woman." I rolled my eyes, finding it absurd that I even entertained this man. I even glanced at the hydrangea flower sitting on the bench, wanting to get it, but my pride told me not to. "You can fool around and—""Shame, the only woman I want to entertain is the mother of our triplets," Alucard cut me off, making me stiffen when his tone became raspy.I turned at him, catching how he looked at me with that domineering gaze while he had that meaningful smile. I shivered in delight and couldn't ignore that his remark could make my c l i t throb in need. But while I was still in sanity, my lips formed a bitter smile. "Over my dead body."That was my final retort before I attempted to walk away. However, Alucard stopped me by grabbing my arm. "What?" I snapped, glaring at him."You forgot this." Alucard held out the hydrangea flower to me, winking at me. But I couldn't ignore the fact that his touch sent me
Chapter 37The plan to talk to Alucard about that storage room did not occur that day. Due to needing to teach him how to care for the triplets, I had to focus on it. I remembered I had an agenda I needed to attend once Alucard's turn to have them next week. Alucard listened to what I told him that even Mother did not know. The remaining days brought delight to my triplets when all we did was play around, letting their father read some bedtime stories until it was time for bed. I was more exhausted than them when Alucard and I tucked them in."Good night, our brave pups," Alucard said, kissing their foreheads and making the triplets giggle. "This is your last night here. Next week, we will be together again." They chirped in agreement. "Daddy, why did you reject Mommy as your mate?" I was caught off guard by Lumiere's question. This made me glance at Alucard, who was also looking at me. The hair on my nape stood up as I averted my gaze, and my eyes landed on Luciana, who already op
Chapter 38The brothel had become my solace after that confrontation with Alucard. However, when I assumed that I could make him believe that I could sleep with another man or multiple men, the mood struck me not to engage in anything. All I could do was drink some booze alone at my table while watching some of the male prostitutes being ravished by their female customers. Sighing, I couldn't feel any envy, but Alucard's crying face lingered in my mind. "Madam." I looked up while my chin rested on my palm when Marchioness Carat arrived with another booze. "I would like to apologize since Alfredo is not here tonight."I shook my head, offering a small smile. "No, it's fine, Marchioness Carat. It works in my favor, as I'm not really in the mood for any entertainment," I replied, understanding that she had mentioned Alfredo due to the impressive performance he had delivered during our last encounter. His actions were still etched in my mind, but even with his mask on, all I could think
Chapter 39"We heed your request to embellish with some Swarovski crystals around the necklace, Count Iran," I said, clasping my hands together as my elbows rested on my desk while watching Expert show Count Iran his finished customized jewelry. He requested a golden necklace with the gemstone ruby and used Swarovski crystals to surround the chains. The necklace he asked us for customization would be gifted to his daughter, who would celebrate her coming-of-age soon. "This is beautiful, Your Serene Grace." Count Iran touched the necklace, looking at it lovingly. "I am hoping Eva would like this for her birthday. It will be her first transformation as a wolf, too."The satisfaction smile on his lips delighted me that even though Father was not managing this shop anymore, I was still meeting the right demands and service for our clients. I wanted to maintain the reputation of the Velvety Stones until I passed it down to the next heir who would be handling the House of Bellwood. I was
Chapter 40The horror on my face revealed the shock of Alucard's actions, as he had revealed something I had kept secret - the identity of the father of my triplets. When had he gathered the courage to share such information with these people?Even those guests were gasping in shock. Right there and then. I couldn't explain how I could get away from this situation. I breathed in and out when the murmurs were going louder that the people here forgot that they were in the soft opening of this apparel shop. "Your Royal Highness, can we talk?" I asked in my oh-so-sweet tone before taking his hand and dragging him out of that shop. "My woman needs to speak with me. I will be right back, everyone."I gripped his hand even tighter in response to his words, causing Alucard to hiss in discomfort. He chuckled as he struggled to keep pace with me, realizing that I was leading him into a narrow alleyway.But he gasped and smiled sheepishly when I slammed his back to the wall. "My, my. Aren't w
