The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 43

“It’s you!” He mumbled and took a glance at the kitchen, gazing at my back as I was slicing the veggies for noodles. That’s the easiest food I can think of which can quickly quench my hunger.

“It’s you! What are you talking about?” Shadow asked, confused, thinking Ryan has gone bizarre because I haven’t reacted to any of their plans.

“I mean her” he pointed towards the kitchen, “she is Audrey, the owner of Rey Grandeur” he asserted while still going through the file. Shadow was more confused as he had never come across such a name while he was working with Ryan, he nudged Ryan to explain as he thought that I was the one whom he wanted to make his queen. “You dumb ass, how can you forget it so soon? Well, she was the lady that won the trade fair that was held by my family and her brand name is Rey Grandeur, stupid! I can’t believe that I’m reminding things to my assistant, it’s ridiculous” he said with a gloomy face, shadow swallowed hard, “Damn! This was close. How could I be so shallow-minded, if Ryan finds out about my thoughts I would be back at the Astor’s mansion” he muttered to himself.

“Not a bad plan” Ryan affirmed after going through the file, he covered it and placed it on the floor.

“This is taking too long, I believe it’s better I show her my evil form” he mumbled and sprang up from the seat, he made his way towards the but shadow abruptly stopped him, pulling him out of the house.

“What are you trying to do? You should retrace your step and know that this would cause heavy damage to her” he warned Ryan while trying to speak sense to him.

“Say it! What other measure can we use to send her away? I’m tired of seeing lurking around my villa, sleeping in my room and on my bed. That’s unacceptable!” He clenched his fist. Shadow sneered and supported his back with the wall, “why did I feel like this isn’t the case, do you have something with the lady?” He blurted out but suddenly realized that he had spurted out the words. Ryan stood frozen taking in what shadow had said, “hehe, I was just kidding. Don’t be too serious” he quickly said, aiming to cover up what he said unknowingly. But that wasn’t necessary for Ryan to have taken in what he mumbled, processed it, and found out that it was true. “I haven’t been acting like myself lately, it’s just like I never wanted to send her out of my villa,” he said to himself, recalling how he had hugged me to sleep and watched me all night “this is impossible” he let out with a blank expression.

“Nothing is impossible my dear friend but at least tell me what you’re speaking of” shadow nudged him.

“Mind your business and do your work properly” Ryan stepped back into the house and sat down on the table.

Atlas, I was done in the kitchen. I served the table, sat down, and ate my food slowly.

“The noodles look and smell quite nice, what about we have a taste” shadow purposely said while walking into the living room trying to irk Ryan. He made a turn to the dining table while watching Ryan’s reaction. He was about to pick up the cutlery when Ryan’s angry tone echoed throughout the house. That made Shadow step back with a smile, this was his plan to find out how he feels and that seems to work. “Probably, this was why he ended up staying in her room all night. Moreover, she is better than Laura who can’t wait to be queen and torture us all” he thought to himself.

Shortly after serving the meal, it didn’t take long for me to finish up the plate of noodles, I burped rubbing my belly while I rested my back on the seat. I thought of taking a nap upstairs as I felt so tired after eating the noodles. I stood from the seat, cleared the table, washed the dishes, and walked into the living room. I frowned when I noticed that the file was on the floor, I took the file, grabbed my back, and strode past the two who were rooted in a conversation. Stepping into my room, I threw myself on the bed and slowly fell into slumber.

In the living room, Ryan finds it stressful arguing with shadow. He got up to leave but was blocked by shadow who wants to tease Ryan at any given opportunity. “Off to her room huh?” Ryan ignored him and shoved him aside. “Don’t get on my way.” Ryan used his super-speed and immediately appeared in my room. He laid his back on the wall, watching me sleep. He creased his brow when noticed that I was still in the same outfit I came back with, “clumsy woman!” He let out and strode to the bed. Ryan pulled off my dress, walked to the closet, and chose a set of new nighties. “I don’t even know why I’m doing this, I was supposed to s nod you out of my villa not helping you. But I can’t explain the pull I feel towards you, even if I don’t want to pay attention to you, the pull would make me come to you” he blurted out while helping me wear the nighties. I beamed feeling a tingling sensation on my skin at the same time I was having a wet dream where I was making out with an unfamiliar face. I woke up suddenly feeling strange. Like someone seating right in front of me staring right back at me. I stepped out of the bed and strode to the washroom, sat down on the toilet, and relieved myself.
