149 Liquid on the lips- Part 1
Calhoun always knew, and there was no hiding anything from him.
For a person who turned the fork into a bunch of rose petals, she doubted if there was anything that he couldn't do.
"I was looking for the restroom," said Calhoun with a cold smile on his lips, "I didn't know we had a common room." He took one step forward and Madeline instead of taking one step back like she always did, took two steps ahead and quickly made her way to where Calhoun was.
She was scared for Jas on what Calhoun would do. Madeline knew what Calhoun was capable of. He was an expert when it ca to beheading people. He could do it with closed eyes and still get it right. She didn't want Calhoun killing Jas, even though what Jas did was utterly stupid. He should have waited for her to step out of the powder room. A locked room with a man and woman did not give any clean ideas in one's mind, but would question what they were doing that needed to be hidden from the public's eyes.
"Nothing happened," Madeline whispered to Calhoun, her brown eyes anxiously looking up at Calhoun who was staring at Jas unblinkingly.
Madeline knew that all Calhoun would have to do is twist Jas neck to get him killed but Jas didn't deserve it as he was only being drive by his emotions right now. Jas and Madeline had no idea that they would be seeing each other this soon. They would have sorted out their mind if they knew it beforehand. But Calhoun didn't know about it either, and he had played things to his benefit like he always did.
Jas stood there with his hands clenched tightly into fists while staring at the King.
Calhoun then shifted his gaze to look into Madeline's eyes that looked scared. He raised his hand to place it on her face, "I know that, Maddie," one side of his lips moved up to a half-smile.
She felt his hand that was oddly warm. Was it always warm? She wanted to take Calhoun out and away from Jas.
"Milord," ca Jas' words and Madeline's eyes snapped to look at Jas, hoping he would not speak sothing that he shouldn't. Especially not when they were caught together in a locked room. Jas had a confused expression on his face of how Calhoun had stepped into the room when he had locked the door, "I ca to the wrong room. Allow to be excused," he bowed.
Madeline felt her soul starting to leave her body with the tension in the room. Calhoun then moved his fingers over Madeline's cheek, caressing it, "Don't try to steal what is not yours. If you so much as look at her, I will have you shackled with chains in the dungeon so that I can see you tortured," her eyes widened hearing this, "This is a warning, only because sweet Madeline and I are trying to build a relationship," he turned to Madeline and said, "Why don't you join the others in the room."
Madeline had a worried look.?She didn't want to leave Jas here with Calhoun. Her heart started to pound in her chest, and she gave him a pleading look, "Go on," said the King to her and Madeline looked at both the n before dragging her feet out.
When Madeline left the room, looking at Jas, Calhoun smiled, "Marry Catherine and leave instead of ddling with sothing that didn't even belong to you in the past."
Jas grounded his teeth, "You cannot force Madeline to do your bidding. She has a kind heart-"
"I know how Madeline is. I don't need you to tell . Not soone who didn't have the balls to ask her before but now is interested as she is going to be soone's wife," Calhoun said to him, a chuckle escaping his lips, "I thought you would have understood last ti, but you haven't, which is alright. Let tell it out loud and clear, forget Madeline and move on, if you are looking for a peaceful life."
Jas had co here intending to speak to Madeline. He had made sure to wait for the King to leave Madeline's side so that he could clear so things with her. He didn't know the King would open the lock which he had locked.
"And what if I don't?" asked Jas. His eyes were intently looking at the red-eyed King.
The smile on Calhoun's lips faltered before it disappeared from his face. He walked to where Jas was, pushing the man right against the wall with a loud thud. Calhoun glared at Jas whilst his hand was around the human's neck who struggled to get away from the hold, but Calhoun was stronger than any walking person on the land.
"I thought you were naive, but I didn't know you were this stupid to stand up against , by thinking you can challenge by your brave words," Calhoun's hand went to squeeze the man's throat before he let the man breathe with his hand still around Jas' neck, "I am letting you off this one last ti just because Madeline doesn't want you dead. Like you said she has a kind heart, but that doesn't an it's going to stop from torturing you. You will wish you were dead than being alive," Calhoun lowly threatened, his red eyes flared to narrow down at the useless mongrel, "Try sothing like this again, and I will make sure I turn your life to a living hell."
Calhoun finally let go of Jas' neck and took a step away from him as the human coughed for air. Jas had brought his hands up to his neck, running it to soothe the skin which had been tightly held,
"Do it, and Madeline will never accept you!"
"Hm, still talking like a useless bird," humd Calhoun, his voice low, "Ti will tell that, won't it. Not to forget, the way you and Lady Catherine seem to be tight. I wonder what Madeline must be thinking," he tched with an unimpressed look.
Jas returned with a glare in his eyes, "Nothing is going on in between us."
"Are you sure about it? No man goes along with another woman when he could use the sa ti to woo the girl he likes. You broke her heart. But that's okay," Calhoun responded, "I am here to help Madeline, to heal and love. You are not needed, step away before you regret it."
