Chapter 47
Lia pov.
I managed to get home after Luca and I disagreed. I have never seen him this angry. The fact that he left me on the road explained how angry he was at me.
Immediately I opened my room door I pulled my clothes off and fell on the bed. My thoughts wandered back to what would have happened if Benedicta had not come in to save Merlin.
I close my eyes to part for Lexie's safety. She is a very sweet girl and does not deserve any of the stress I have put her through as a friend. Gosh! I need to get her out of Lorenzo’s mind. He might come back for her later when I am not around.
Just when I was about to sleep a knock came. Knock! Knock! Knock!
I groaned as I raised my tired body to open the door. Maybe it was Luca.
I opened my door to reveal my maid. She stood at the front of the door carrying some clothes with her head bowed “My lady may I come in”
I seriously wanted to close the door and sleep but then again it was not her fault. I stepped aside and watched her drop the clothes on my bed.
Not just clothes but royal decorative material with brackets and other royal things.
“What is the occasion?” I asked her as she separated the items on my bed.
“I don't know, Luna,” she said quietly.
“Who sent you?” I asked with a stern voice. How would she say she did not know about the event? The maids were the first to get wind of any gossip.
I walked towards her calmly trying to detect if she was lying through her face.
“The Alpha asked the cooks to cook for a feast but we do not know what it's for. He has invited the whole park and he seems to be in a happy mood. That's all I know ma” she said.
I took a good look at her, from her toes which were decorated with scandals to her hair which was packed in a bun. She bent her head down shyly.
“You can go,” I ordered.
She nodded and hastily left. I walked towards my bed. I picked up the purple velvet gown that he bought for me. It had red embroidery around the edges. It came with a gold crown and a black shoe.
Maybe if I asked Luca he would have an answer even though I knew that the probability of knowing was little.
Or maybe I just wanted to talk to him. To see if he was still angry.
I knocked on his door twice before he opened. Immediately he saw that I was the one his face changed into a frown and my heart dropped immediately.
“What?” He asked so loudly that I grew cold feet. Was he this angry? He surely cannot blame me at all times when whenever I started getting close to him he would drop my hopes immediately.
“I came to see you, ''I replied quietly. He glared at me for a while before letting me in. I gasped at the sight of his room. Clothes were scattered everywhere, drawers flung open and luggage on top of his bed.
“Are you packing?” I asked. My voice sounded almost like a whisper. Was he leaving me? Just like that? That means if I had not come to his room he would have gone without a word.
“What does it look like I am doing?” He asked as he folded more of his clothes.
“And you did not bother telling me?
He rolled his eyes, one of his hands rested on his waist while the other rubbed his head. Irritation filled his face.
“Why should I tell you? Are you my wife or my lover?” He asked, shattering my heart once more.
I would have stayed in my room and just wallowed in self-pity till sleep took over me
Instead, I came here expecting him to do what? Beg me? Because he gave me some heads and kissed me a few times or told me he loved me even though I was his cousin's wife. Someone he despised so much.
Tears filled my eyes. I took in a deep shaky breath as I tried to stop the tears from falling.
He looked at me and his eyes softened for a while before they retook the dark eyes “If you came here to cry please. leave ” he ordered with a cold voice.
I gathered whatever dignity I had left and walked towards the door. Just as I was about to open the door he called.
“Lia,” he called softly. I paused for a while, and my heartbeat quickened. I could feel his eyes boring into the back of my neck as he made his way towards me.
Goosebumps filled my skin as warmth crept within me. What was he going to do? What was he going to say?
“Turn around”
I was meant to be angry and stand my ground. You can't just treat me like trash and expect me to fall at his feet whenever he needs someone to warm his bed. But I foolishly turned around.
He leaned towards me and pressed my body against it till there was no space left.
He stared at me with warm blue eyes, and my heartbeat fastened. His masculine Cologne filled the air.
“I will be gone for a few days. Just make sure you are safe” he said quietly and pecked me on my cheeks.
He stared at me for a while before he stepped backward.
“You have this whole time to make up your mind,” he said in a more pleading voice.
I nodded. I opened my mouth to say something. Say I would willing to choose him over everything but I closed it and left
