Hell Marriage

Chapter 13: Caught

I released him quickly, I can’t believe I held on to him, I glanced the maid in the room, she is looking down at her toes but I can see her face very very red, how could I? It seems I have become shameless without realising it, Connor cleared his throat

“What?, you’re still here, don’t you have any manners?”

“I, I’m, I’m sorry your highness, it just that you haven’t asked me to leave ” the maid said shakily

“Well get going, I’ll like a moment alone with my husband” I said not knowing where I got the courage from, the maid went out of the room in quick steps, i look down at my hands where I was resting on my laps,

Connor put to fingers under my jaw and lifted my face up, I refused to look at at his face I was too consumed by shame,

He simply tipped my face upper, i have no choice tgan to look at his face, what I saw in his eyes made me shudder, I saw hatred, fear, passion, care in his eyes,

I don’t understand, all this emotions, are they for me he must have known what I was thinking.

“Connor”

“What do…”

We said at the same time

“You go first” He said staring at the curtain

“I didn’t do it Connor, I didn’t try to poison you” I said as a single tear slide down my cheek

“I know you didn’t, I know you won’t “Connor said taking my face in his hands

“You do?” I ask in surprise, it came as a surprise to me he does?

“This is all part of a big game, the person that did this wanted to make me believe you did it, sh! t they wanted to separate us when we started growing closer” he wiped my tear

“I’m sorry I hurt you but I can’t let anyone see I’m treating you well” He said

“Is that why you’re whispering right now?” I ask him

“Why do you think I put you here In a room where it’s so easy to eaves drop on conversation? I know the door in here is a delicate one, what we say can be listened to and the person might as well be there right now””

He rubbed my cheek and straightened

“I want you to come to the front yard right now!” He said in a loud voice that sent shivers down my spine

I blinked innocently, what is he doing?, I thought he said?…

“What?, you don’t want to? You’re feeling too proud and you won’t follow my orders?” Oh! I get the grab now I smirk and he winks at me

“Not so your highness I just feel so tired, all the things I’ve been through all this……” I try pleading my case I hope I sound real enough

“I don’t care if you’re tired, I don’t care about what you’ve been through I shouldn’t have come to get you, so keep shut and follow me quietly” He said grinning, he put his gand forward in a grand style, palm’s up, I smiled and put my hand into his, he pulled me up, I smiled widely and he drew me into the circle of his arms

“I’ll have to be little rough ” He whispered to my ears, I know he’s talking about our charade but I can’t stop picturing him being rough with me, his hands on my body and… oh God that brought a pit of hotness to my stomach, I can’t believe my thoughts

“Ready?”he ask me

I gave a little nod of my head and whispered “yes”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

He moved to the door and rattle the lock, I think just to warn whosoever that’s there we’re coming out and give them time for escape, he opened the door loudly and marched off pulling me roughly I guess this was the type of rough he said when he said rough, I glanced back but didn’t see anyone, did his plan work?, we got to the front yard in time for Nicholas to get there, The king, Prince Eyre, The princess and kitchen matron were all there shuffling their feets, what is happening ? What is Connor doing I glanced at him but he purposefully refused to hold my gaze, dam* it Connor look at me just once.

“I called you all to gather here because I have decided that until I’m not interested in eating my wife’s food again, this lady here, called my wife will do all the cookings “Connor said.

Gasp went aroun, I got my own share of shock, I don’t understand his decision.

“But, but your highness, poison and….”

“I have given my order and I believe after what happened she has learned her lesson, any one that doesn’t like my order should go to hell or face me and confront me”He left and said, I was so stunned, I was left standing in the front yard, I’m sure the rest were shocked as well,

“My lady?” I hear the matron’s voice

“Yes?”I ask her

“We have plans for dinner, do you want the old one(dinner table) or you have something in mind to cook?”

“Yes I’ll like to cook something else, but first my back is sore, the wounds I sustained hurts like hell ” I said to her

“Then let’s hope your wound is not yet infected, guards call the Royal doctor”

Carrissa’s POV

I laughed so much that I almost cracked my ribs, it was so much fun listening to Connor yell at Ava, and marvelous to see the way she was being dragged to the front yard, I would have loved to follow them to the front yard to see the drama unfold, but I couldn’t, if I followed, Connor might suspect have been listening to their conversation, wait no it wasn’t a conversation, it mostly Connor yelling at the b! tch, ha ha ha what funny scene.

Dear Ava I told you, you will loose, now I’ll set plans in place for you to be kicked out!, Watch out Ava or you might just fall face down, I thought, with a malicious smirk on my face.
