I was in a very serious situation. And believe me. When I say serious, I mean super serious.

I was in the middle of a brutal glaring game. Emperor Meilin was staring daggers at Mr dark lord and Mr dark lord too was glaring at him with his deep violet eyes. The only thing I could do was look at both of them with a wary eye.

"He is mine Liwei," emperor Meilin's words almost made me fall into a daze. My heartbeat started to quicken its phase and my cheeks started to heat up.

"Oh! He is yours is he? I don't mind stealing beauties. It's fun," Mr dark lord winked at the emperor. He lazily stayed in the water with the brume of steam enveloping his body. Yet his yes were battling for a revengeful attention from the emperor.

"It was I who invited you to the banquet. So, I have no intention of acting with hostility towards you." The emperor's voice wasn't pleasant. It was submerged in the unenclosed tainted air with a hint of atonement. "We're leaving," was all he said. It all happened so quickly. He looked down at me sternly and carried me out of the bathing place with quick strides.

In no time we were once again out in the vast etiolated hallways.

"You! I will take you somewhere," his sceptical voice thrusted into my heart. Fear and nervousness once again consumed me intentionally.

Without letting me clear out my petrified mind, he pushed me hard against the wall and leaned into my face. We were only inches away and his hot breath brushed against my face with a lusty allure. Then his onyx coloured dark eyes locked with mine. They seemed to seep deeper and deeper into my soul as if he was reluctant to let me leave his sight. 

He pushed his body onto mine till there was no space left between us. My back was tightly slammed against the wall that it hurt so bad. But yet, for some reason, I couldn't take my eyes away from him. It was just then that I saw the breathtaking beauty he possessed. Not only was he extremely handsome, but he was a timeless beauty as well. He was like a potent legendary god. 

And as he stood there above me, leaning into my face with our lips only inches away from touching, I couldn't stop my heartbeat from running crazy. Blood rushed into my head and my cheeks flushed with an unavoidable introversion. I wanted to reach closer and touch his face, feel the warmth of his skin, trace his strong cheekbones and perfect jawline with my finger. I wanted to breathe his image in and paint it in my mind so that I would never forget it.

What was happening to me? Why was I feeling this way? I needed to get a hold of myself and ignore these strange sentiments but I was reluctant to push them away. I hated him. I really did. So, why?

"What are you thinking? Are you thinking about him?" his voice jerked me back into perception.

"Him? No," my voice was only a senile whisper.

"Don't look at other men. You are the king's woman. So, you can never leave me. You are mine and can only ever be mine."

"The king's woman?" I asked. I couldn't understand what he was saying and my own spirit started to collapse at the mention of his words.

"It means, you will soon be my wife."

His wife! Was he crazy?!

I couldn't escape, nor could I yell at him. I was like an innocent mouse trapped by a humongous merciless beast. 

"Now then, let's take a small stroll to the Lianlin lake, shall we? I can't wait to enjoy a bath with you. We can finally find some privacy there dear future empress."

I couldn't understand whether I was dreaming or whether I was drunk, but my own self was collapsing little by little. My spirit has shattered completely.

This could never be happening. Hell no!

Somebody save me!
