Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 52 - I Trust You As Your Husband!

The room fell quite before the shutting of door echoed in her ears turning her sense back to reality. As soon as Aaron heard the commotion, he seemed anxious as he put on a pair of homie dress casually before stepping out of the door.

Esme chewed her bottom lips in anger and finally pulled down the blanket from her white skin. Her body looked tensed up as if she was fighting with her inner soul.There was various red marks left across her body especially the area of her chest which shamelessly reminded her their actions from previous night.

She looked down on her body and cursed brutally!

Thinking that, she should need to give a visit fast after the incident that happened yesterday, she quickly rushed into the washroom refreshing herself. After fading away her sleepy mood, she grabbed a pair of jeans and low cut top wearing them hastily before rushing towards Vanessa's room quickly.

When she reached halfway from her bedroom, the noises were becoming louder and louder as she quickened her paces fast enough. As she stepped into the hard floor, Vanessa was already lying on the bed groaning. Her expression was alternating between pain and anger symmetrically as a maid was wrapping her blood covered wrist.

Aaron stood aside putting on a darkened expression while Jasper accompanied him as usual holding an expressionless face. As she looked around, her brows knitted together tightly in anger.

The whole room was turned into a trash bin initially. Every little things including her dresses and jewelleries all were thrown on the ground and some of them had broken into pieces. Even the brand new curtains from windows were pulled out mercilessly and was thrown into a corner. Some maids were clearing the mess quickly as she stepped near Aaron instinctively. 

Esme looked down deeply on her wrist and judging by the blood, the scar was really deep and would leave mark surely. Esme didn't feel sorry rather found it dramatic. 

Vanessa was in fault clearly but early in the morning, she started acting like someone had forced her to cut her own wrist. 

From the corner of her eyes, Vanessa finally saw Esme's presence nonchalantly as her whole body boiled up in anger.Her gaze turned vicious as she located the fresh red marks on her collarbone vividly. 

Undoubtedly, anyone could understand that it was hickey not any random body symptoms.Her anger erupted as she complained while sobbing, 

" My Lord, please send me back to my house. I.. I know that Lady doesn't like me but I can't bear this humiliation anymore. After all, I have my tolerance too.." 

Aaron frowned slightly before glancing back at Esme questioningly. Before she could provide any answer, Vanessa continued saying, 

" I.. I was just helping you taking off your clothes yesterday as you were drunk.. but Lady.. Lady... insulted me... I.. I can't bear this assault.. I.. I want to die.. sob.. sob.." 

Esme was dumbfounded as she stared at her skillful acting speechlessly. She sounded like Esme had tortured her brutally yesterday. 

She just ordered to lock her up seriously! 

The air inside the room stiffed more as soon as Queen Mother made her appearance putting on a cold face. Without thinking further, she rushed towards Vanessa before growling, 

" Oh my god! What happened to Vanessa? I have just got to know about everything. How can anyone be so cruel?" 

She shoot Esme a death glare before speaking towards Aaron, 

" My Lord, Esme had ordered to lock up Vanessa yesterday late at night because of a foolish misunderstanding. May be Vanessa was in fault but it gives her no right that she could instruct the guards to follow her order and lock her up. You must give us an explanation over this matter. Don't forget that Vanessa comes from a renowned family not from any filthy human."

Vanessa sobbed harder as she said, 

" Let it go, Queen Mother. I should go back to my father. I don't belong here."

All the while, Aaron remained quite like a mighty king who was listening the words from his subordinates one by one and he would declare the result at the end.On the contrary, Esme was panicking internally. The way, they had started paying around, it presented her like a vicious woman who was bullying others.

 Moreover what if Aaron decides to believe them without hearing her words? 

Aaron finally turned to Jasper and asked coldly, 

" Now, can you explain to me that what happened yesterday?" 

Jasper nodded and started explaining the whole incident from their coming back to the castle and afterwards slowly. 

Soon after, Athena entered the room curiously as the maids made their way for her entrance. Esme looked up at her and somehow was a little surprised. 

After being married to Aaron, she never saw Athena outside of her room so much nor did the brother and sister ever talked harmoniously. Athena was cold like Aaron to her judging by her first impression. But somehow Esme felt that she wasn't born cold naturally like Aaron. Something led her personality to become a cold woman without any smile or spoiling attitude. At least she never had seen it till now. 

On the contrary, Athena saw Esme and her expression turned puzzled a little remembering everything from past night. She diverted her attention to Vanessa and frowned hard. 

She asked a maid gesturing, 

" What happened?" 

The maid sighed and explained everything briefly whispering in her ears. Athena tittered holding back her laughter and glanced at Esme grinning widely. 

Esme frowned in confusion and looked back at her awkwardly. Just then, Vanessa groaned loudly as the maid tapped on her wrist hard, 

" Aaah.. you moron.. be gentle.. it hurts like hell." 

Athena rolled her eyes before replying shrugging her shoulders, 

" Did anyone ask her to cut her own wrist? Why is she bothering to groan now? Pst.. It's so noisy.." 

Queen Mother roared to her disobedient daughter, 

" Athena.....!!"

In response, Athena once again shrugged and stayed there occasionally glancing at her brother who was having conversation with Jasper. Her eyes dimmed at Jasper's face as she frowned hardly. 

I need to find out a way to speak with Jasper. But will it work? I doubt. After all he is a loyal dog to my brother. 

Her gaze once again fell on Esme's bothered face as she felt sympathy towards her. Thus she approached near her slowly and suggested lowering down her voice, 

" Sister-in-law, don't let your power handover to any trash people. Use it cleverly." 

Esme turned her face surprised and looked through her sincere eyes. She was genuinely suggesting her for her wellbeing.Thus she smiled lightly before nodding her head. 

She understood the meaning behind her words and somehow felt encouraged. Except Aaron, there wasn't anyone inside the castle who showed care towards her.

Shortly after, Aaron finished hearing from Jasper and looked up at Esme. He asked gazing at her deeply, 

" Did you really punish Vanessa just because of this small misunderstanding?" 

Esme stared him back and replied confidently, 

" Yes, I did but I had my reason."

Aaron asked back doubting her words, 

" What reason? Is it just because she was helping me to change off my clothes? "

Esme wasn't happy at his interaction. His face was holding suspension for her thus she blurted out emotionally, 

" Do you trust my words or her?" 

Aaron left dumbfounded. Her words felt weight and deep in his heart that he was afraid to answer casually. But Esme never left her eyes from his expression and waited for his answer with a gaze like only will I explain when you say that you believe me.

Aaron gazed deep through her eyes as he replied after contemplating in his mind, 

" I trust you as your husband."

His answer hold two meanings at the same time. He stated that as a husband, he believed her judgment and trusted her without hearing any explanation.But as a king, he needed an explanation from her to identify the real truth. 

Subconsciously Esme's lips spreaded wide into a happy smile as she replied in a low voice, 

" That is enough for me."

Then she turned around to face the crowd. Her gaze swipt across the room once as she explained truthfully, 

" I gave the order to lock her up. I saw it with my own eyes that she was pressing down herself to his highness like a seductress. Moreover I found her clothes inappropriate. Now can anyone tell me that what was she doing unbuttoning her own clothes?"

Everyone's face turned shocked as they glanced at Vanessa disdainfully. Suddenly Vanessa roared back at her humiliation protectively, 

" Lie, she is lying..She has no right to humiliate me.I never did anything like that.. I was just.. "

" Shut up! ", Esme's voice buzzed across the whole room loudly. 

Her previous personality subconsciously engulfed her inner soul as she behaved like the magnificent princess of DALASTIA WORLD who was once worshipped by all the fairies. 

Her gaze was piercing like dagger as she asked coldly, 

" How dare you say that I am lying? Do you think that you are more trustee to them than their queen?" 

Athena's mouth fell open awe in amazement and silently gave her thumps up especially when she saw her mother's sour face as if she just had drunk some filthy blood. It was too satisfying to her eyes. 

Esme continued as the anger coursed through her body like volcano, 

" I can punish you however I want even without giving a damn explanation to anyone. I found you committing a crime specifically to my husband. As the queen of vampires, I can definitely order my guards not just locking you up but behead your head right now, right here.Who will dare to stop me? You get that? "

The whole room fell in dense silence even Aaron stared at his wife's aura stupefied but inwardly, he felt a warm feeling at her action. She had started slowly accepting her identity as his wife and queen.

Nobody dared to utter any words and Vanessa also fell in dilemma as her expression turned nervous and guilty. She didn't dare to utter any words against her claim because she knew herself too well that who was in guilt. Even Queen Mother was left rendered speechless. 

It took no longer time to find out the truth that who was lying here. Still the crowd was in silence and waited for their king to speak first. 

Aaron gazed at Vanessa deeply as his glare gave shiver to her spine instantly. Aaron stepped near Esme before declaring towards his mother, 

" Let Vanessa recover first then send her back to her home as soon as possible. I don't want my wife misunderstanding me over an outsider." 

With his saying, he pulled out Esme from the room and returned to their own bedroom. 

As soon as they both entered the room, Esme was instantly pressed against the door with a thud. Before her stupefied mind could register anything, her lips were crashed with a pair of cold lips pounding hungrily. 

Her body quivered arching back against the door in astonishment as his hands caressed all over her body swiftly creating sensation wherever it touched.
