My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!

"I am here to tell lady hazel the truth. Her mother had asked me to kill her but I am here to ask for forgiveness and warn her about her mother's plan that she wanted her to accuse her of her husband's death!!"

His eyes flashed with dark and sinister light when he heard her. But then he chuckled as if he had heard a great joke.

"And you think that you can kill me with that pillow for yours? Is choking me so easy?" he asked as he raised brow. 

His large figure was looking more scary and strong when he was hovering over her and she shook her head.

She had no idea that he was the one she had come to kill.

"I.. I swear that I did not think of killing you. I was only here to surrender!" She shook her head as she tried her best to explain that she would not hurt them, not that she could with the tremendous strength of him.

But she closed her eyes when she saw him moving and holding her neck. Just a mere pressure and her neck would be snapped into two. At least, if hazel would have been awake, she would have asked for the safety of her daughter. She closed her eyes in defeat when the man let go of her.

The man looked at her coldly and she held her breath to know her fate when the man finally parted his thin pale lips, 

"Hmm, come in. your fate will be decided by my wife." the words come out of his mouth naturally as if he was calling her, his wife, for a long time. The word even surprised her but he hid it when the girl sitting on the floor bobbed her head up and down.

She stood up as if new life was blowing in her and  took hasty steps in the room. With hasty steps, she came in and sat on the white rug he was sitting on before.

It did not look like she had any desire to move away from there. 

He looked at the small sofa and his eyes narrowed. The maid even curled her body into a small circle when she felt his gaze but she did not put any effort to move, unaware of his reason for sudden fury.

Richard's gaze moved from the maid to Hazel who was still sleeping soundly. The girl had not learnt her lesson. She was still too carefree and naive when it came to eating the food her family had given her. Did she not learn any lesson? 

He took slow steps towards the bed like a beast was looking at his prey. His eyes raked over her innocent face that was looking warm when she was sleeping. A few tendrils of her hair were falling on her face which had brought a frown.

He sat beside the bed and looked at the frowning face of the girl. 

She had no idea how much trouble she was in just a second ago! And it even showed how much trust she had in him that she was sleeping so carefree in his presence.

"Hazel! Hazel!" He whispered her name as his tongue rolled out and a sweet baritone was formed but the girl did not faze as she continued to sleep with her peaceful face.

"My lord, the drug is strong enough to keep the lady sleeping till morning." replied the maid in a low voice, uncertain if she should interrupt him or not yet he was able to hear her clearly in the silent room.

"Then you have to wait till she wakes up!" he replied nonchalantly but the maid nodded her head. She had already expected this much wait. But she was not sure how Diana would react to it! Would she wait for that long or start looking at her.

She was about to ask that from Richard mustering her courage when she looked at his heating gaze falling on the sleeping girl.

He was staring at her as if he would devour her right there. Did she just interrupted their intimate moments that was why he was so cold? 

No! The girl was sleeping and he did not look like one who would force himself on her.

She shook her head and closed her eyes as she had nothing to do with it. All she had to do was to pray that she and her family would survive for tonight.

On the other side, Richard touched her hair and moved the few strands back which were annoying her. A pleasant smile formed on her face and she rubbed her face on the pillow like a rabbit that was enjoying it with a carefree attitude and his lips curled upwards unconsciously.

"Do not try anything funny or you will not even be alive to regret it." his cold voice reverberated in the room and the ball shivered but did not say a word as she continued to look downwards.,

In the next second, the room turned completely dark with all the candles blown off.

He laid on the other side of the bed, since he could not adjust on the sofa and the rug was taken by the maid and he was not sure if she would prefer him to sleep anywhere else in the presence of other people as they were playing the role of a loving couple.

But the moment he closed his eyes, his face formed a grimace. Her strawberry smell was all over the bed and he could not stop when it tickled him. 

He took a deep breath and turned to the other side. But then the girl tossed and her hair fell over his neck and got entangled on his body.

"......." did she know that if she continued to tempt him then he would just pounce on her and eat her clean. He rubbed his forehead from his fingers as he could see a headache coming over.

"You better pray that I have stronger self control than I ever thought!"
