The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 40

“Well, you should at least learn from me, don’t let people take advantage of your goodness,” she asserted after a while of silence. I just let out a deep sigh as I have nothing to say, “I’ll try to move on, being betrayed by the two important people in my life that I trusted so much, it’s not something that I can forget easily.” I suddenly said, recalling all the things that happened. I thought Andrew and I had a future, we literally planned our life together. All these made me feel despondent and lost in thought.

“Hey! Are you crying, why ain’t you speaking?” Aubrey muttered anxiously.

“It’s nothing, I’m fine. I was just thinking of something”

“Do you want me to come and stay with you?”

“Don’t meddle, I told you I’m perfect. I spoke with mum and dad” I announced attempting to shift her thoughts and that actually works. She has been anticipating what the call would be like and she already wanted to know what they would say to me.

“What happened, were they excited or mad at you?” She asked in one breath. “They wanted to know where I stayed and about my store, so I notified them that it would be later. You know mom and dad, they refused and insisted I meet them.” I asserted, she chuckled continuously holding her belly whenever she heard something amusing. “What are you going to do? You’d better settle with them” she warned, I rolled my eyes and notified her that I was sleepy.

“Take care baby sis” she mumbled, I scoffed.

“Watch your mouth Aubrey, baby sis! Are you serious right now? You’re my twin and we’re the same age, don’t look down on me” I warned and disconnected the call.

“Argh!” I groaned and threw my cellphone on the bed, it’s high time Aubrey learned that we’re the same age. I thought to myself while rolling on the cold silk bed. Abruptly, I pulled off my pajamas and was left with my undergarments. “Nice! I feel more comfortable” I heaved a sigh of relief and locked my eyes.

“What the heck is the little woman still doing in my room?” Ryan let out with a creased brow. He was tired of just sitting on the couch and not resting in his room, he was furious and had cursed me inwardly for keeping him out of his room. He got up from the sofa, tired of waiting on me. He decided to go upstairs to see what I was up to. He broke through the door leaving a loud noise, “I wonder what if the storm is coming?” I mumbled with my eyes still locked, I couldn’t bring myself to sleep throughout the night. I hissed, stood up from the bed, and ruffled my hair. I moved to the cabinet that was beside my bed and took out a medicine, “f**k! How am I going to sleep tonight?” I inquired with a sullen face when I realized that the drug bottle was empty, this medicine has been of great assistance, it induces sleep without any hassles. I threw the bottle on the floor and laid back on the bed, “I guess I should just relax my mind and force myself to sleep” I asserted and closed my eyes. Ryan who was sitting on the couch became amazed at my bickering and he didn’t notice I was without clothes. “Silly girl! You can just ask for my help and you would sleep till you beg for mercy” Ryan said to himself as he smiled evilly. He appeared in front of the side table and pushed down the table lamp. “Argh!” I jumped off the bed, alarmed! I rubbed my heart tremendously, glancing around the room. “Oh come on, this table lamp is quite expensive. How could it break like that? I glared at the window that opened and stumped my feet on the ground.

“Don’t mess with me again” I let out and slammed it shut. That made Ryan burst into laughter, “she is so adamant, what made her think it’s a storm?” He shook his head disdainfully and sat on the bed with a crossed leg. Abruptly, there was a thunderstorm. I screamed, covered myself with a quilt, and curled up to the pillow. I hate thunderstorms especially when I’m alone. How am I going to sleep now? I had foreseen that this night wouldn’t be me well, I thought of going downstairs to drown in tequila but I was so scared of the loud thunderstorm that was ready to tear off my villa. I shuddered in fear, mumbling a silent prayer.

“How did this crazy woman get my villa? She is afraid of thunderstorms! I can’t believe this” Ryan was bewildered, he watched me in amazement and suddenly stepped onto the bed, he laid down beside me and embraced me. My eyes fluttered open as I couldn’t take in what was happening, I felt warm and safe like someone was trying to put me to sleep, atlas I cursed myself for thinking weirdly. Slowly I fell into a deep slumber. Ryan left after he noticed that I was asleep, he walked down the stairs and met shadow roaming in the dark.

“i***t! I know you’re there” he said to shadow who gritted his teeth and slowly stepped out of his hiding.

“Hi” he waved his hand at Ryan.

“I know what you’re trying to do, I'm warning you to act properly,” he said and strode past him. Shadow ambled behind him trying to find out what took him so long to come out of my room. However, Ryan ignored him and sat down on the couch with an expressionless face.
