Cassius pov
Only I know how I have controlled myself for a long ti. When I reached there and looked at the blood soaked dress of Marianne and the ashen face of Monique, I just wanted to kill everyone around .
When the potion finally worked and monique ca out of danger only then did I feel better. It had been enough, if killing my family was not enough, they have not started targeting Marianne.
For a minute I even thought of leaving her, so that she could be safe. But all my resolve crumbled when she hugged . It felt like i was not even breathing all this while, i only took a breath when she hugged and hid herself in my arms.
And that was the mont when I had decided, I would not be the one who would sacrifice this ti. Since they like to kill so much, they should know that they could be killed too.
I kept rubbing her back soothingly as I waited patiently for her to sleep. When I was sure that she was in deep sleep, I laid her comfortably on the sofa and left.
"Killian '' I looked at him proudly as he was attending the guests so well in spite of his young age. There was confidence on his face as he showed them the palace. He even played a small tune for the piano in the music room.
"Yes, father" he walked towards as I patted his shoulder. His eyes shone looking at appreciation in my eyes.
"Son, I need to go back. You know things have turned ssy and needed to be handled." he nodded his head in understanding my words.
"Good, take good care of your mother and grandmother. I will return tomorrow and stay here for a few days. Make sure that your stubborn mother eats sothing before she sleeps." he nodded again with a smile.
I hugged him and then left in the carriage. My father had a few sources doing illegal things. He had caught a few people doing wrong things and then helped them in settling down. They have promised to help us if we ever needed even if it was an illegal thing but it had been long since i have contacted them.,
"Your highness, we have reached the palace" I nodded as I left the carriage and walked in.
I have thought that I will get so pace to think. But no! This foolish lady was literally everywhere, every ti.
"Lady Isabella, why are you waiting in the open garden? It is late at night. You should be ho.'' I tried to sound as neutral as possible but my voice was still cracking.
"Well, I think you have forgotten Cassius. My father was about to co today to talk about our marriage. But when he reached her, you were not at the palace. Later maids and knights inford us that you have gone to Essendson's palace because Marianne has called you." her voice was accusing as if he was my wife and i have been cheating on her.
I really wanted to slap her though I have never raised my hand on a woman before.
"Well, yes. There was an ergency. Her mother was sick and she needed a physician to help. You can not deny a sick person. Can you?'' I tried to sound polite as I could let them doubt till I found rcenaries.
"Ha! The one who has slapped you in front of everyone. I would not have cared about that person whether she lives or dies. Thinking about her family mbers was a far gone thing." her words and tone was getting harsher and fiercer.
"I think you are tired. You should go ho and rest, Isabella '' I replied in an authorized tone, but the blind girl did not even notice the change.
"I am not tired of waiting, I am tired of you. You have promised this ti that you will marry yet you are eting your ex wife leaving alone. Tell Cassius, how will this relationship work then? I think i should go and talk to his majesty about it." it was a blatant threat. A threat that she should not have given
"Go ahead, do you need a carriage to escort you there?'' I asked with a smirk on my face.
"Pardon.."
"You have not done a single thing to be pardoned.. Talking about my character are we!? Then we shall sit and discuss how you are eting Philip and sleeping with him. And at the sa ti many have seen you in the town with the viscount too. Having two n together is the habit of your family huh? Co let's discuss your sister too..
I still did not find that fucking barron. Why don't we sit and make a plan about it too. Then we both can go and et his majesty and talk about our future prospective marriage." i did not want to use that tone on her but did she think i was blind!? Like a hoe, sleeping with everyone and then coming here and behaving righteously.
"And if we are talking about it. .then I have your academy details too.. Why shall we not discuss all at once. Why waste ti?" I asked as I moved and sat on the garden bench. My hands were folded and my one leg was on top of the other.
My face had a wicked grin. The blood lust I was trying to hide was visilve now.
She stood there stunned., definitely she was not expecting to behave like that. She was thinking that I would llow down and try to coax her to accept as her husband! Ha! Did she think she was the most pious or most perfect person of the empire? Bloody whore!
"Tell , or you didn't have any words left. If not then get the hell out of here. And one more thing.. Do not try to open your mouth in front of your father or else you would be the one to die first."
