Chapter 136 - Preparation

Her wet eyes stared at the ceiling, empty.

He covered her mouth from the start right to the end as he stared into her eyes while she struggled.

There was no restraint in his eyes, but his body was more savage to her than ever.

He used her body to fill a void, but yet, he felt empty.

For the first time in two hundred years, he felt uncomfortable.

Finally, he gasped on her body, his sweat fell on her skin.

When he released her, Charles’s shallow lips and fingers were covered with blood. The imprint his teeth left on her lips was terrifying.

When he got up to leave, the emptiness in her eyes hurt his heart. He was stunned, especially when he looked at the blood on her lips.

“Bella, what do you want me to do with you?” He muttered.

He thought he would feel better after venting his desires, but he found it was uncomfortable.

Bella got up and hobbled to the bathroom. Like a marionette without a soul, her body was stiff and expressive.

She was only a tool for him to release his desires, so she didn't need to be shy.

After that, she didn’t have any emotion, for she didn't need it.

A drop of blood fell from her towards the carpet.

He rushed and caught her hands, “Don't do it again.”

She didn’t move and stood there like a zombie. Bella allowed him to hold her hands, quiet and obedient.

His lips wrapped her wound, and he licked. He disinfected her in the most primitive way, but she didn't react.

She stood like that until he loosened his grip.

The air echoed her dumbfounded voice, “You did it, Charles. I was punished. Now, I wish you… and I sincerely wish for you and Miss Katherine to be together forever. I'm sure I won't be jealous of her anymore. You have succeeded in protecting your beloved woman. I am only an ordinary girl, but you didn't have to do this.”

There was no expression on his face, and he let go of her hand. “Next time, be submissive.”

“Well.” She went into the bathroom, and soaked herself in the tub, constantly scrubbing herself over and over again until the skin became red.

She set the alarm to seven o 'clock before going to bed, half an hour earlier than before.

After breakfast, she handed over the cup with her blood to Roy.

Mum was still in the hospital, and she dared not obey. That is something she can't do even though she suffered.

Roy prepared the medicine for her this time.

When she reached the stairs, Katherine was making her way up. Bella grabbed her bag at once and turned to the elevator.

Bella didn't want to have another fight with Katherine before she could move her mother.

As Charles came out of his room, he saw her turn the corner.

Katherine immediately ran over, “Charles.”

Bella hesitated as she heard his voice, “Did you have a good rest?”

She didn't need to look back to know he did not say that to her.

As she went into the elevator, she could feel the heartache.

Before breakfast, he called Elsa in front Katherine and told her to prepare the test tube.

Elsa was very embarrassed, but she couldn't talk about the deep sea secrets in front of Katherine. She could only promise she would.

Charles looked at Katherine’s smiling face, and asked, “Are you satisfied? You will not run away again.”

Katherine looked at him, “Charles, are you making fun of me?”

“You have a good rest at home for the next two days. If you want to go. Roy will accompany you.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Katherine thought now she had replaced Bella. But she knew the servants at Williams Mansion was used to calling Bella Lady. She should stay to let them who was the right Lady.

Katherine was satisfied, and on the way to work Charles closed his eyes and meditated to see Bella on the bus.

He saw her head down, tears dropping on the back of her hand, she wept silently. He saw her get off the bus and run into the company building, she arrived early to work.

He couldn’t watch her anymore.

Charles opened the window and looked out, there was an emptiness in his mind.

Roy spoke, “My Lord, Elsa said the heir has to have the temperature of the Tree of Life. The blood of the offspring born out of a test tube would not have your vitality.”

“I know.” He knew it the whole time. But Katherine was so important to him. 

There are still more than two hundred years, but there was not another time for Katherine.

Her life was only once, and if he missed it, he would never have another opportunity.

His voice was cold, “Let her give me some other ideas.”

He kept silent for a while and asked, “My Lord, do you want Milady to move out of Williams Mansion?”

“Let's just try something.”

Roy did not speak again.

The first thing Bella did at work was turn on the computer to see her designer’s page. Sure enough, there were the client's messages in chronological order. Firstly, he asked if she had left her phone number, then asked why she failed to keep the appointment and accused her of wasting his time.

She could feel this anger from the message.

There were no other people in the office, so she hurried to call him back.

Unexpectedly, the man knew who she was, and his low-pitched voice was angry, “Bella Brook?”

She was a little surprised, “Yes, it's me. Is this Nick Williams?”
