She stopped as she stared at the councilman. It was not someone she knew.. But then she knew no one except Edward who had come to attend her marriage.

“You fool! How could you believe that I would poison her? If I wanted to kill her, I would have used more discreet ways.

The council can not act against me rashly. You all have to pay for it when I will be announced as innocent.” she heard her father shouting at the top of his lungs when he stared at the council man with hatred and fury.

His rage could be seen with his red face and the way he was pushing everyone who tried to come closer to him.

His wife was standing in a corner with tears in her eyes but was saying nothing as if she agreed with what Vincent had said of having a guilty conscience while her second brother was trying to put up a fight too while hurling profanities on all of them.

He was trying to shout at everyone though he was not looking concerned much about his father. He must be more worried about his dangling position in the household._.

If Vincent would become the emperor then his minor chances of winning the empire would die right there.

She could not see her sister or Vincent but just when she was about to move from there. She felt the eyes of the empress staring back at her.

Her eyes were twinkling and she had a smirk on her face. She didn’t look like a woman whose husband was going to prison or an empress who was going to lose all her powers. Just why was she so happy when her husband was going to be doomed?

But looking at the vicious smirk on her face, Hazel felt that she was having trouble breathing. As if a deep woven trap was covering her and if she dived any deeper, she would not be able to come out of it.

Her gaze was so unnerving that Hazel took several steps unconsciously to get rid of that look. She only stopped when her back hit her wall and she finally came back to her senses.

She walked away from there with hurried steps and reached the room of Vincent. After hesitating for a second, she knocked on the door and walked in after getting permission.

Vincent was in the process of changing clothes.

He was standing only in his pants with his shirt in the hands of a maid while two other maids were standing beside him. One was wiping the sweat from his face while the other one was bent.. Only God knew what she was doing down there.

But each of them turned to stare at him with narrowed eyes when she entered as if she was a thief.

Vincent smiled warmly when he noticed her.

“Oh sister, I was not expecting you to visit me as soon as you wake up. You should have rested more. I would have come to meet you once I was done.” he waved his hands and all the maids bowed their heads and left the room.

But each of them stared at Hazel with strange eyes while passing through her as if she was the one who had placed her father in the prison when it was Vincent who had given the statement.

She could feel the hostility in their eyes but only stared back at them with so much coldness that they bowed their heads with a flinch and left.

“You are still domineering! I have never expected that. I have thought that you are going to spend some good time on the bed cowering in fear.” he chuckled when she turned to look at him, closed the door and then walked in.

“Why, are you disappointed brother?” she asked in a mocking tone as she raised a brow but he only chuckled more and shook his head.

His eyes that were already bright gleam with happiness as if he had found the biggest fun in his life.

“Not at all, that would have been too boring. I enjoy this version of you.. That made the whole thing entertaining.

But I must say that you have exceeded my expectations.“ He walked closer to her and tried to hold her but before he could touch her face like before, she held his wrist tightly in her hands.

She didn’t know what took over her. Not only him, but she was surprised with her actions too as she blinked.

He raised a brow and waited for her to let go of him and apologize but she continued to stare at his hands with a strange look.

He frowned as he did not like that and tried to break free.

Once, twice, thrice.. He tried so many times but he was not able to get his hand back, which only made him infuriated. A weakling like her was trying to subdue her by showing that force! He was never going to bear it.

“Let go! Hazel. I said let go!” he shouted but as if his words could not fall into her ears. She continued to stare at their hands when he gritted his teeth and raised his other hand to slap her.

She needed one to come out of her sleep. How dare she behave so impudently in front of him. If he would not have saved her, she would have already died just a few hours ago and yet.. Instead of showing gratitude, she was trying to show her authority.

But just as his hands was going to touch her cheeks, she held it too and this time with so much force that he winced and his knees trembled as if it was giving away.

He felt like his bones were going to crush in her hold.

“Hazel what the hell are you doing? Huh? Do you want to die? Let go or I will make sure that you regret these actions all your life.”
