"Elvis had called this morning to tell about your mother’s condition. Her body is reacting well to the treatnt being given now and they are conducting other tests as well," Elise inford and I felt relieved. I wished I could be there but dad had told I was safer in the vampire kingdom, with Luke. She then continued, "Elvis was angry on Canrart and Luke."
"Why?" I asked her furrowing my brows.
"Canrart hadn’t gone to check his wounds and well Luke because he slapped one of his workers," she sighed and my eyes went wide. Luke did that? "Apparently, one woman made a move on him and he ended up slapping her. His temper is sothing you need to be aware of. There are many who have titled him as Lucifer," she warned .
Now that I think about it, I rembered the ti after going out of my room. Two won’s standing there in the corridor while one of them was crying, having fingerprints on her cheek. I gulped hearing it. I didn’t handle angry people well, they were scary. After taking a tour around the mansion, I headed to my room to find Luke already there sitting on the bed.
"How was the tour?" he asked as his green eyes watched walk inside the room.
"It was good. I saw your na written on the wall," I said smiling and took a seat on the bed. I expected him to frown but instead, he smiled at it.
"I know. I was there when Julie told you about it. You should laugh more, Lillian," he said bringing up his hand to place it on my cheek.
I was taken back with his gesture and blinked at him before clearing my throat. He looked at and a slow grin appeared. I looked at him cautiously wondering what he was grinning at. Before I could ask what happened his phone rang.
"Is it done?" Luke asked soone through the phone, "I know...isn’t that why it was given to you?...no there’s more to it...yes I thought the sa..." he went on talking which I didn’t understand.
He got up to walk towards a window and I watched him as he spoke, his strong voice filling up the entire room. Facing towards he sat at the edge with his back towards the glass. Though he was speaking on the phone, his eyes were on . When his eyes left mine I felt my back relax. A straight nose and strong cheekbones on his face. I had to admit he had beautiful eyes. He was tall and fit with the good amount of muscles but not like a bodybuilder. He had left three buttons at the top of his maroon shirt unbuttoned.
His lips that were set in a thin line for sothing said on the other end of the phone had suddenly turned to a Cheshire like a smile. That’s when I realized he had caught looking at him.
"Don’t bother , darling. Carry on," he said before I turned my face to look at the cupboard to save myself from any further embarrassnt, "Not you, you idiot..." I heard him say.
Once he was done talking he put his phone back in his pocket. He walked to the table, picking up a file and handing it to .
"What’s this?" I asked as my eyebrows furrowed in question.
"Those are your school docunts, Lillian. You’ll be attending the local school from tomorrow," he explained as I opened the file to see few docunts in my na, "Everything is there in it- your transfer certificate to your schedule."
"What do you an by that? I’m not going," I said with my eyes narrowed at him. He was sending to so God knows where school without even asking my opinion on it. A frown ford on his face,
"How about this you either go to school and extend the wedding bells or we get married directly? I would love if you picked the second option," he said with a sly smile and at that mont I wanted to strangle him.
Like Elise had said earlier, Luke had a strange personality. Once he would be all sweet and nice but then he would have a an glint in his eyes.
"Either way it ends with the marriage," I said through my gritted teeth, "Can’t you just let go where my father is now and dissolve the marriage thing?" I asked him a little calm and saw sothing flash in his eyes.
In less than a second, he was in front of his eyes turning red and I thought he was going to yell but instead his body hovered over mine. His eyes were scary but it looked like he was controlling his anger. Why was he angry? I was the one angry with so much of ss to handle. I waited for him to bark angry words but he didn’t. I was sitting on the bed while he was hovering on top of wasn’t a good idea. With every two seconds that passed, I felt myself go back while he leaned over and I had to support myself with my elbows.
"Can you repeat what you said, my dear Lillian?" he asked as our faces were closing in.
"That I want to go to school?" Was my smart answer and his eyes twinkled hearing it.
"Smart girl," he said pulling back and yawned, "By the way, you’ll be accompanied by two of my trusted mbers in the school." You must be kidding ! I thought.
The next morning, as Luke had told I was accompanied by two boys who looked at my age but were definitely older than . Their nas were Davis and Gordon. Gordon hardly uttered a word and if he did it was what to do and not to do, it was like walking with a hawk next to you. At least Davis was comparatively better when I had questions to ask he would explain it to .
The first day it didn’t bother much but by the third day, I felt caged. It was completely weird having two guys follow you everywhere except for the restroom and at one point of ti, I didn’t want to get out of there. It was like no one wanted to be my friend or rather talk to especially after seeing two muscular guys around all the ti. I had shooed both of them telling I needed so ti and would et them in the lunch room. They were reluctant at first but I had managed to have so ti alone for myself.
My head fell back on the wall and I sighed, life was getting weird. What was Luke even thinking having two n watch over ? That I would get kidnapped? No one even knew about it yet.
"It’s lunchti," I heard soone say and turned to see a boy with glasses, "Hi, I am Travis. We have Geography together," he introduced himself.
"Lillian," I introduced myself. Travis was two or three inches taller than , a backpack hung over his shoulder and two books in his hand. Though he wore glasses he didn’t look a bit nerdy. Sothing told he was trying to hide his image.
"Aren’t you having lunch? You should eat. We have p.e. next hour," he inford .
"Yeah, which way is the cafeteria?" I asked him scrunching my nose and he pointed his hand to the right, "Thank you." I was still taking the ti to understand the crazy architecture of the school.
"Anyti," he replied with a boyish smile.
"Would you like to join for lunch?" I asked him, it would be nice to have a person other than my guards and saw him grin.
"I would love to but I have so work to do. Moreover, I feel like I’m going to be killed soon," he said looking across when I turned to see what he ant, I saw Davis and Gordon looking at us who were standing few ters away from us.
Oh joy, I thought dryly.
