Ileus: The Dark Prince

Chapter 581 - Dinner (3)

"All I am saying is that Olivia appeared like a thief," Fuchsia said, looking malevolently at Olivia who was still sitting in Kaizan\'s lap shamelessly. She truly had no shame and no respect for the elders. And now she appeared like a thorn in her eyes. "What was the necessity of stealing food like this in the dark? Bernice had worked very hard to prepare these dishes for you General Kaizan. She stayed all night and even fell asleep on the table while waiting for you to come and eat food, and yet this is what she is facing. This is not fair." She saw Kaizan\'s darkening aura, so she corrected herself. "She wanted to serve food to you and Olivia. At first, you didn\'t come in time and now you even threw her on the floor. What did she do to deserve such unruly treatment? Is this the family that Kaia has wedded her daughter in?" She played the victim card. "Is this part of the peace treaty from you?"

Kaizan narrowed his eyes at her last words. The woman was… vile. "You are building all this out of propor—"

Olivia raised her hand to stop him from speaking. The pain at her back was stinging and she was sure that the way Bernice hit her, a mark must have formed. Kaizan growled, when she refrained him from speaking. She got out of his lap and said, "First, I had come here to get food for Kaizan and take it back to our bedchamber because he didn\'t want to come down and have dinner. Second, in your words, I am wedded in this family, so this house," she waved her hand in the air, "is mine too." She crossed her arms across her chest. "When I take food from this place, I am not stealing. Remember that. This is my house and so I am taking what rightfully belongs to me!"

For the first time Olivia spoke in such a proprietary way that Kaizan\'s… chest swelled with pride and love. She was thinking of his home as hers. His beast approved of their mate\'s words.

Fuchsia\'s mouth fell to the floor. She wanted to blame Olivia and had hoped that Kaizan would also chide her after she had blamed her, but the girl suddenly spoke out. How dare she? She wanted to slap her hard. Bernice too felt as if she was thrown from a cliff. Rage bubbled inside her. She was so happy to strike her hard with the ladle, but Olivia had struck them hard with her words.

Olivia knew that if her aunt left right now, she would bitch about this event and spread false rumors. Their wedding was too new and she hadn\'t even met her in-laws to pass any judgment. So, she continued. "Having said that, I think that this was a misunderstanding, and now we all can have food together. Bernice was only waiting for her and she had fallen asleep. That was why she couldn\'t decipher who was there in the darkness. But I wonder if you couldn\'t smell me?"

At this Fuchsia\'s heart thudded. All she could smell was sex all over them and while it angered her that the little bitch was using sex to seduce Kaizan, she couldn\'t deny that Bernice didn\'t smell her. But she scowled at Olivia.

The way Olivia saved the whole situation, made Bernice feel all the more jealous of her. Not only did she make her mother stop in her tracks of belittling the peace treaty, she even rubbed it on their face that they were guests and she was the owner of everything here.

Olivia didn\'t give them much time to think. "Why don\'t we all have dinner again?" she said, her gaze darting to her husband and Bernice. "Since Aunt Fuchsia has already had her dinner, she can go and rest."

Fuchsia blinked her eyes in surprise at the way she was dismissing her. "Y—yes," she blabbered. "You all eat. I am glad that Olivia clarified things." She was so flustered and looking puny in front of them that she hurried back to her room lest this thing blew up.

Olivia could feel Kaizan\'s disapproval, so she turned her head towards him and raised an eyebrow.

"Okay…" he sighed. "But I have a condition."

She chuckled. "What condition?"

He pulled her back in his lap, held her waist tightly and said, "You are going to sit here and have food on the same plate as mine. And Bernice will serve us."

Bernice\'s eyes became wide in surprise.

Olivia\'s face flushed a thousand shades of red. She swatted his chest but he didn\'t release her. He sat there stubbornly. His gaze fell on her mark at the back. He bent down and licked her injury, coating it with his saliva.

If she was jealous, then now she was not only scandalized by their behavior with each other and too angry at Kaizan for asking her to serve them food. Bernice too was having pain in her neck with the way he grabbed it, but he was hardly bothered about it. And it was all because of her bitchy cousin. She was now all the more sure that she would teach her a lesson and one which would make Kaizan hate her for the rest of his life. She pushed the rage down and got up. She had to feign an apology in order to stay in Kaizan\'s good books. "You are right Olivia," she said with her eyes lowered. "Please forgive me. I shouldn\'t have attacked you." Her eyes became teary. "Please don\'t be angry with me." Her gaze went to Olivia\'s neck to see her mark, but it was covered with the shawl.

"Not at all, Bernice," Olivia replied with a lovely smile. "This was just a misunderstanding."

Kaizan growled from behind her, indicating that he was hungry.

Bernice\'s face lit up. "Thank you, sis!" she said. In the next ten minutes, she bustled around the table and served them food in one plate. She was so much in rage on the inside serving them like a servant, but she donned a smile. The servant who had stoked the fire was only looking at them, standing near the wall. She didn\'t move at all to help her serve. She served fruits and sausages for herself and sat opposite to them. Bernice felt like a servant. Did Kaizan want her to feel like one? Not only did she prepare dinner for them, she even ended up serving them?

"Eat Kaizan," said Olivia, looking at him. But her husband opened his mouth and pointed with his finger, asking her to feed him. Olivia bit her lips and blushed again. All this was so intimate and going at such a rapid speed that she was feeling very shy. Olivia giggled and cut a small piece of meat from the duck and gave it to him. Her finger entered his mouth and he sucked its tip suggestively.

When Bernice how she was feeding him and how he was demanding from her, jealousy scalded her. Her breath ragged, she said, "I would like to meet Alpha Murtagh.. Is that possible, General Kaizan? He is our Alpha and it would be very rude if he comes to know that I visited Silver Vales and didn\'t meet him."
