~ Victoria ~
It hurt me so much that Constantine chose Helena rather than me. I was the one who had been with him. Yet he could choose Helena, whom he had just met. For what? Power? Helena might have the ability from her mother. Loyalty and love meant nothing to Constantine.
I stormed to the dungeon, only to find Helena was no longer there. Where was she? Ah, guest room! I walked fast to the guest room. But, when I opened it, she wasn’t there either.
Since I was angry, I pulled the bell hard. The sound echoed through the hall. Newburry came in a hurry.
When he saw me, he bent his head a little. “Madam, do you need my service?”
“Yes, where is Helena?”
“In the lady’s chamber, madam.”
Newburry’s words were like oil thrown to fire. Hearing Helena was in the lady’s chamber sparked my anger, but I acted calm in front of Newburry. “Thank you, Newburry.”
“My pleasure, madam.”
“When I become Lady Night, I will remember how good you have treated me.”
Newburry bent his body. “Yes, madam.”
I stroked my flat stomach and smiled. “Please pray that the little one is growing here. His lordship has promised to marry me if I am pregnant.”
“It is great news, madam.” Newburry smiled. “I will ask the cook to prepare nutritious meals for you, madam. May it help you get pregnant soon.”
“Thank you, Newburry.”
He bowed, then left me. I walked fast to the lady’s chamber. When I opened the door, it startled Helena.
“Vicky!” Then she shook her head. “I mean Victoria.”
“You seem so comfortable here.” I walked inside and locked the door so no one could eavesdrop on our conversation.
“I want to leave, but Constantine threatened me. If I leave, he may harm my mother.”
I sat on her bed and glanced at her. There was nothing special about Helena. Yes, she is a blondie, and her blue eyes are striking. But other than that, there are no remarkable things about her. Helena is too skinny for my standard. How could Constantine like her more than me?
“What do you want?”
“If I help you escape, will you go?”
Helena stared at me for a few seconds. “If I have been sure that my mom is safe, I’ll go. But so far, she hasn’t called me yet.”
“I see. Then I’ll arrange it later.” I walked to the window. The views here are spectacular since the lady’s chamber is the most elegant room in the Fire Shadow Castle. “Do you know Constantine promised me to marry me?”
“Oh, congratulations! I’m so happy for you.”
I took a deep breath. Why should Helena be so friendly like this? “Thank you.” I deliberately stroked my stomach. “Maybe Constantine or Constantina junior has been growing here.”
“Are you pregnant?”
“I hope so. Constantine promises to marry me once I am pregnant.”
Helena smiled. “I hope you will be pregnant soon. Then Constantine may lose interest with me.”
I shook my head. “No, I know him. He won’t let you go since you have the power he wants. But no matter what he will do, don’t sleep with him.”
“Of course, I won’t! What kind of person do you think I am?” Helena crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I’m in love with Ethan, not Constantine. In fact, I have been Ethan’s mate.”
“Then I will help you. Please buy time, so Duke Firebury can come to rescue you.”
Helena nodded. “Maybe if I can escape by myself, it will be better. So Ethan doesn’t need to fight with Constantine.”
“Yes, it’s another option.” I smiled. “We have come to an understanding. So I will spend more time with Constantine to increase my chance to have his baby.” I winked at Helena. “Wish me luck.”
“Good luck!”
I walked to the door, opened it, and turned my body to see Helena. “I have never thought I would say this, but we might be friends if we met in different circumstances.”
“I agree since I like you too. So I hope you can change Constantine’s mind since I won’t let him touch me.” Helena blushed as she bent her head a little. “Not after I have already had Ethan as my mate.”
“I understand.”
Then I left the lady’s chamber and walked to the master’s bedroom. The door was unlocked, so I entered without knocking. Constantine was sleeping. I immediately stripped my dress and underwear. Later, I touched Constantine’s face.
He is so handsome. I wish time could stop, so I could stay like this forever with nothing to be worried about. Having him beside me is more than enough. I opened his buttons one by one, then unzipped his trousers slowly. Then his hand suddenly gripped my hand.
His eyes opened, and when he saw my nakedness, he grinned. “What a lovely way to wake up.”
“Open your clothes, or I may help you doing that,” I said, straddling him.
“Yes, please open my clothes. I am still lazy from sleeping.”
“Yes, my lord. Your mistress will do anything to please you.”
He grinned and followed what I did. I pulled his hands and then removed his shirt. Afterward, Constantine stood and stripped the trousers and underwear.
Before I could do anything, he ambushed me from behind and laid me on the bed with my back facing him. He slightly lifted my waist and said nothing. Later, he fingered my cave from behind. I moaned as it was so erotic. The sensation, the excitement, and the waiting were accumulated. He knew exactly how to drive me crazy. Finally, after five minutes, he entered me from behind, and we groaned together.
His hard length swept my hot and wet cave, creating incredible feelings within me. “Don’t stop!” I screamed.
“Nothing can stop me, darling.”
He kept moving and gripped my waist hard, and then after a while, he poured his seeds inside my womb. I was thrilled since Constantine had never wasted his seeds nor wore a condom as before. It warmed my heart.
Then Constantine turned my body and kissed my lips. “I am happy to have you, my darling.”
I said nothing and hugged him. “I don’t know what I’ll do without you. Please, never leave me.”
He kissed my lips tenderly. Then he stared at me and stroked my stomach. “If I wanted to leave you, why would I try to impregnate you?”
I smiled and pulled his head to kiss his lips. It was a happy day indeed. At least, though Constantine never said those three words that I was longing to hear, what he said was the closest to the commitment. Maybe for him, it was the closest to a declaration of love.
