Love And Secrets

Hand Caught

Laura curled up on her bed, she looked at the ceiling of her room, the night air was cold, she hugged her own body. His mind floated, piercing through whatever was in front of him.

Laura had been dreaming of this since she was little, when her servant first read her a fairy tale, about a prince carrying a white horse and picking up a princess to marry him. He always waited for those moments, his age was enough for the wedding since 5 years ago, but not a single prince came to see him. Every time she looked in the mirror, Laura always asked her servant.

'Am I beautiful?!'

Of course, Laura is very beautiful. Born to the King and Queen of vampires, she was born pure. With pale white skin, ivory hair, a very beautiful nose, red lips, and a very proportional body. No one doubted her beauty. Now, Laura is too desperate, her female friends in the dorm have a partner, but only she is left behind.

At that time, he had an ambition to find a partner. Whoever met her first, Laura made her a target. That was the first time Laura met Eric.

'How is this, I've been caught!! I have to how?' Mumbled.

There was a knock on the door, as Laura remembered, she waited for no one, let alone late at night like this.

"Open up, man,

"Me, William.."

Laura was surprised, she was so sure that the person behind the door mentioned William's name. He walked to the door and opened it slowly.

"What do you need?

"Don't you know it's late at night?"

William pushed open the door and entered Laura's room. He went around without caring about Laura.

"What do you want!!" Laura shouted, she felt neglected.

William stopped walking and walked over to Laura. Their distance is only 1 step. Laura's big belly almost hit William's.

"I can't be fooled like Eric. You better go home and cancel this wedding. Or you'll be sorry." William threatened Laura with his sharp gaze and his scathing mouth.

"I can't go home! I'm getting married!"

"Ah, then. do you love Eric?"

Laura was speechless, she could not answer William's question. To be honest, Laura didn't talk to Eric much, all this time she was just doing a show and actually..

"You didn't answer my question.."

William pushed Laura to the wall, he pulled Laura's hands over her head.

"You gotta go, or you're gonna regret it." Eric turned his body and left.

Laura was terrified, her heart pounding so hard.

"What the fuck is he! how insolent, I will never give up!." Laura closed the door tightly and threw her body on the bed.

'I must think clearly, not rashly. Hopefully they don't extend about the poison. I hope so.'

The sun was not yet visible, but Gara was fully dressed, he looked towards Alice who was still asleep with earphones in her ear. When Alice fell asleep, thinking a lot, she could not continue her sleep.

"Lin, take care of Alice."

There was only silence, but Gara knew that Lin was somewhere in her room.

As she walked out, she opened and closed the door without a sound. William was waiting for Gara at the door.

"What did you find?" gara said as he continued to walk without looking at William, then William walked behind him.

"Laura's been acting weird since last night leaving the dinner table, I've been watching her since last night, but she's not making any moves."

"Then, what did Eric do?"

"Eric was still surprised, he was like a dazed person, yet I had given him a sedative from the medical doctor while visiting his room. He is still asleep."

"Alright, it's safe now. I'm not forbidding Eric from getting married, but I want him to get his happiness. I hope the kid's Eric's son."

"I've been watching Laura for a long time, she has no male friends other than her female friends."

"You? know Laura?"

William fell silent, he did not answer Gara's question.

"I don't know what your relationship is with Laura, I just want Alice not to be bothered by anyone."

"I understand."

They walked towards Gara's office, everyone had been waiting for his arrival.

Alice opened her eyes, she was sound asleep, the sun had shone so bright, her eyes were so sick seeing the light.

"Lin, close the curtains, I'm almost blind."

The curtains closed quickly.

Alice felt something different, she felt strange, could not be described or described.

He opened his earplugs, his hearing was back to normal, yet he could still hear voices from a distance.

"Thank God, not too bad."

A sudden dizzy feeling engulfed him, he held his head and pressed down firmly.

"Came, "Lin,

"Lin, Gara..

"Where's Gara.."

A little while later Gara opened the door and ran towards Alice who was massaging her head.

"Alice..

"What's wrong?"

Sitting next to Alice, she pulled Alice's hand and gently massaged Alice's head.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm dizzy I don't know.." Alice could not express her feelings properly. He felt fine, but then hurt again.

"Have you taken the pills?"

"Not yet, I haven't eaten or drunk anything."

"You want my blood?" For opening ties and buttons on his shirt.

"No, no, no,

"I'm just a little dizzy, maybe I'm tired of everything that's going on.

"You better get back to work, I'll get some rest."

Alice hugged Gara tightly and kissed her forehead.

Because she is reluctant to leave Alice in this condition, but Alice insists that she return to work.

Alice pulled out her blanket and put up her earphones again. He tried to catch his breath and closed his eyes.

"Lin, take care of Alice.." Then Gara left Alice with a myriad of worries.

Time passed, almost all day Alice did not leave the room.

Because she always checked Alice periodically, every time she went into the room, Alice was still asleep, she did not want to wake Alice, because she asked the waiter to bring food into her room.

"Lin, what time is it? Why is it so dark out there?"

Lin walked towards Alice and stood beside the bed.

"Now at 3 pm Ma'am."

"Your Majesty has visited you almost every hour, yet you are still asleep Ma'am."

"Ah. It seems, I'm better now. My eyes and ears are fine, I guess."

"I want to see Gara."

"But Ma'am, Your Majesty wants you to rest."

"Lin, I'm like a dead man today. Aren't you tired of watching me sleep?" Alice looked at Lin expectantly.

"I'll go out and see Gara.." Alice was about to stand up, but Lin quickly confronted her.

"You better eat first Ma'am, then you can change clothes, soon dinner." There was no expression on Lin's face that was covered in black cloth, but Alice took it as a form of attention, and she did not want to get Lin into trouble, she knew how evil Gara was. Alice giggled at the thought of Gara staring intently at Lin.

"Are you okay Ma'am?"

Alice shrugged her shoulders, laughing again.

Alice complied with Lin, she took the capsule and put it in the water, the color of the water turning red quickly.

"Uuuuhk, this is disgusting.." Alice was disgusted, yet she drank it with a single gulp.

Then he cleaned himself and changed clothes aided by his servant.

He could still clearly see the color of the scent coming out of his bath when the service poured him a bottle of soap. Pink smoke looks beautiful mixed with yellow smoke. Now Alice said nothing to her servant.

The waiter escorted Alice to the dining table, everyone had gathered, including Gara. He was shocked to see Alice coming.

"Alice..

Alice smiled at Gara, she walked over and sat down next to Gara.

"I'm fine, baby.." Alice kissed Gara's cheek in front of everyone including Her Majesty the King.

"Ekhm.." Eric coughed at the harmony of Gara and Alice.

Alice regained consciousness with her behavior, and her cheeks turned red quickly.

Grasping Alice's hand tightly.

Dinner this time went well, no problems or interruptions whatsoever. 'Too peaceful, that's the word that came out of William's lips when everyone was done with his dinner.

Laura looks normal, she doesn't seem to be doing anything suspicious. Eric remained relaxed and William continued to watch Laura's behavior from a distance.

Alice did not touch her food in the slightest, Because she was worried, she repeatedly offered her blood, but Alice refused. His Majesty the King left the dining room first, some guests waiting for his arrival related to the wedding that will take place the day after night.

Laura did not want to be the one to be hated in this palace, she ventured to talk to Alice.

Ekhm..

"Alice..

"Will you talk to me?

"It's just women's talk, you know.."

Laura looked at Alice and tried to smile.

Disliked by Laura's talk, she looked at Alice trying to ban her, but she knew her wife was too good to reject someone, even the person who had hurt her, all from her sincere smile.

"Aahs..

"alright..

"We'd better get to know each other.." Alice smiled then looked back at Gara who was looking at her.

Alice stood up and invited Laura to follow her reading room. However, when Alice saw Laura's stomach, she was shocked. Alice subconsciously closed her mouth and looked at Gara.

"What's Alice?" I stood up and whispered to Alice.

"There's nothing, baby..

"Maybe I saw it wrong." Alice again walked towards the library following Laura who had left first.

To enter the reading room they have to pass through several steps that are quite long, the location of the library is on the east wing, with window glass that is very large and high. There are thousands of books lined up in a tall closet. The distinctive smell of the old books gushed as Alice entered the library.

Alice looked around, but Laura was not there, she looked out the window and saw Laura standing on the top step near the big fish pond below.

"Laura..

Laura looked at Alice and tried to smile. From a distance Alice could clearly see Laura's stomach, inside her stomach was a black smoke swirling like a tangled thread.

"Lins..

"I saw something that didn't make sense.

"Laura's stomach was filled with black smoke.

"Is that possible?"

Alice looked at Lin who had been by her side since then, and only Alice could see her.

"Maybe it's true Ma'am, there's magic that can change form, maybe it's one of them. However, it was Ma'am's dark magic."

"I think I should be careful.." Alice walked towards Laura who was waiting for her upstairs.

"Is your wound okay?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..." Laura showed a sorry face.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about Miss Laura.."

"Can I ask you?" Add Alice with a smile.

"Of course Ma'am..

"What do you want to ask?"

"Sorry, are you really pregnant?

"I'm sorry for my sass Miss Laura, but I don't see any life in Miss's stomach.."

Alice was good, but she did not want her kindness to be misunderstood and create chaos later on.

Laura's body stiffened, her face turned extremely pale, her lips trembling. She did not expect Alice to ask that so casually.

"Ah..

"Are you saying it's because you can't get pregnant?

"You must be envious of me who can give you offspring, don't you?

Alice was surprised, she did not know Laura would attack her like that, and reverse her condition so easily.

"Hm..

"Of course I'm sad, and envious..

"But, let's look at a few more months, are you really going to give birth?" Alice stared intently at Laura, she did not want Eric and his new family to be hurt and disappointed.

Laura was angry, she hated it so much to see Alice so confident, she bit her nails so hard, she knocked herself down the stairs.

Aaa..

Alice was surprised, she did not expect Laura to drop herself. Laura's body was lying on the floor, fresh blood flowing from her legs. Alice covered her mouth and ran towards Laura, Laura was unconscious.
