Chapter 32 I will marry you

After a few minutes of Brian rubbing her back, she finally stopped coughing. "If you wanted to kill me, you could've just sucked all the blood out of me. That would've been much easier," Melody said. "Who cooked this meal? It's way too salty and spicy. If you don't know how to cook, it's better not to try than to waste food."

" I'm so sorry Melody, I just wanted to make you some breakfast but it seems like I failed terribly," Brian said, feeling ashamed of himself. " I will cook a better meal for you next time I promise. "

" Don't bother, I will cook for myself if I'm feeling hungry. " Melody said sternly. " Don't try to act all romantic with me. And I suggest you don't enter a kitchen ever again, it is a crime against cooking and an insult to the ingredient that you have ruined. " Melody said, she got off the bed and went to the bathroom leaving Brian gloomy.

" I guess I have failed but tasted the food before coming here. But how did it become salty and spicy??" Brian wondered as he took the tray of food and left Melody's room.

...

"So you have decided to go against my words??" Alexander questioned coldly. "After I clearly told you not to. Do you perhaps have a death wish or do you want me to be the one to end your day's earth?

Patricia was startled by Alexander's voice in her room but still has not seen him. She felt a shiver running down her spine as she thought of his warning last night. " I…I'm sorry….I…I didn't mean to disobey you. " She stammered.

" Why are you sorry?? " Alexander's voice echoed inside Patricia's room.

Patricia felt like her soul would leave her body soon, and she regretted adding spicy and salt to the food. Only if she knew that Alexander was serious the previous day. " I…I'm sorry for adding salt and spice to the food that your dad has prepared." Patricia stammered. "P...Please spare my life...I beg you, please. "

" I will give you one last chance, only one chance…" Alexander said angrily. " If you don't do as I say you will be your own nightmare, trust me when I tell you this ."

Alexander's voice disappeared, Making Patricia hug her knees in fear. It was really foolish of her to go against the most powerful person in their kingdom...But what can she do, when people are obsessed they tend to do crazy things in the name of I'm in love.

At a big table, the whole family gathered for breakfast except for Samuel and Mimmy.

" Brian, I hope you have made up your mind about whom you are going to marry. " Liam started. " It has been 6 years now since we are waiting for you to get married, and become the king of this kingdom. You see now Zachary is doing as he pleases because there's no king. Make your decision fast before something happens to your son. "

Liam was well aware that Melody did not love Brian and would not agree to marry him. That means Patricia and Brian would get married.

" Dad, what do you expect me to do if the person I love does not want to marry me??" Brian raised his eyebrows. " I will only get married when Melody wants to get married to me.

" What? " Melody who was about to drink her coffee stopped midway, she did not want to interfere but upon hearing her name she could not stop herself. " What do I have to do with all these things?? I'm not stopping you from getting married, you can get married to one who loves you and leaves me alone."

Patricia smirked while listening to Melody, she did not utter a word because of the death glare she was receiving from Alexander, she decided to watch the drama quietly.

" You see what I'm talking about, " Brian said. " Convince her to agree to this marriage then I would gladly agree to anything you say. "

" So you don't even care about your son's life??" Naina raised her eyebrows. " I —I mean Zachary wants to destroy your son's life, we have to think faster than him so that we will be able to harm your son. "

"Firstly, Alexander is more powerful than any of you here. " Melody pointed out. " Secondly, he doesn't care about me, so why should I do anything for him? I'm sure he doesn't need me and he can protect himself. "

" Brian I'm sure you are hearing what Melody is saying, " Liam said, his tone full of light sarcasm. " We should prepare for your marriage with Patricia. "

' This mother of mine is so stubborn, there's only one solution to solve this problem now. I'm sorry mom but you aren't giving me any choice here. 'Maxwell thought and closed his eyes he chanted a spell in his mind and everyone at the dinner table froze like they were paused in a movie.

Alexander rose off the chair and stood in front of the table, his eyes bloodthirsty red. " May my father and mother be united and get married to each other. May they shower each other with so much love. "After chanting a spell Alexander clapped his hands to resume everything. Everyone came back to their senses, Alexander was already seated in his chair.

" I've decided to marry you, Brian. " Melody said motionless. You all should start the wedding preparation. "

Everyone at the dining table widened their eyes in shock except for Alexander who knew what he did.

" Melody, are you sure about this? " Brian could not help but question, unable to believe everything. " I mean do you really want to marry me? "

" Yes, I want to marry you," Melody said. " I am ready to marry you because I love you, " Melody said, rising off the chair as she walked out of the dining room heading to the room.

" Wow, it was easier than I thought. " Naina exclaimed. " I guess we should start the wedding preparations. This is such a great occasion to celebrate. "

" It's great news indeed mom, " Maq said with a smile. " Let's get started, everything should be perfect. It was my brother's wedding after all. "
