Chapter 16 of chapter 8 Heartless

Isabella Pov..... 

I was shuddered, quivering under the sensation of fear while everyone seem to have forgotten that a man full of life was killed right in their presence! 

I could felt my legs sweating profusely, I looked around the table but no one dare to look at me not even Marcus. If the Duke had killed this man, that means he might have done things more than this! 

My heart was racing for life! I couldn't help but find it difficult to breathe! This isn't my first time to see a dead body, or someone killed in front of me but this was my first time to see a man head been chopped off by a Axe! 

After my eyes goes around, and seen everyone never care about the dead man, I looked at the beast besides me..... Heartless man! A murderer! I cursed him inside, even though that man spoken rudely to me that didn't mean he had to died just like that! 

What's about his family, what about his children and wife if he had anyone, what are they going to say! That the Duke killed one of his court members because of me? That would damage me more in the society, and they might even request for my head in the process! 

"Can you stop thinking about the fool and eat" his husky voice said, I turned, looked at him in a horror way, did he expects me to eat in such a place after a bloody scene? Never! 

I swallowed, I couldn't even look in those dark red eyes, it creepy! I back my face down.

"No words?" He asked again, I couldn't speak like my word are scared to come out. 

"Okay, come here" he said next, when seen I'm not going to answer him even though he keeps on asking. I shriver, what did he wants to do, did he wants to chop my head next! 

"I'm talking to you" 

I looked around, and seen no one bother to look at us but engaged in their meal like we are not existance in the first. I glanced at him, I can his deadly eyes on me, quicken, with no hesitation, I stood up and stands next to him. 

"Sit" he command softly, I was confused, where did he wants me to seat on his lap? 

I looked confusedly at him, giving him a question look,  where?

He patted on his lap and said, "here, baby" immediately he said that, I felt some gaze on us but when I turned to look around, them all Pretended to keep on eating. 

"I'm waiting baby" he muttered, Oh my goodness! What a day is this? First I was greeted with a dead man head and now, he ordered me to sit on his lap? 

That completely ridiculous! But I had no choice, seated on his lap. 

His hand squeeze on my buttock softly, I almost moaned but quickly, suppress my lips together! 

"Are you comfortable now?" 

What? Is he being serious? Was today a day to  torment me? I nodded obediently, he had no shame! In the presence of his court members he was doing such a shameless thing! 

"You don't have to feel pity for others, whatever happens to him, he deserves it" he whispered to my ear. I look at he, trying to send if he might felt guilty for killing the man but there none, his face was brighten up smiling like a new bride groom who just got married..

I was short of words, that I couldn't speak but nods to his word. "Good girl" 

His hand squeeze on my buttock again, I tried spit off his hand, but I couldn't, the hard he squeeze on my buttock like someone squeezing on wash clothes. Just then I could feel something moving under my buttock. Was it what I was thinking? His erection! 

I tried to stand up and go back to my seat but I can't. He pressed me down to his lap. This is not good, if I keep on sitting on his laps like this, something might happen, which I'm afaird of....

He scoop a spoonful, and put it in mouth. 

"You have to eat, I don't want my woman to look thin. If you look thin, how are you going to give birth to healthy children" 

I already split out thefood in my mouth, children? Did he just said children? Was he being serious right now! He wants me to give birth to his children! 

I looked at the around, and spot Marcus eyes on us, he was smiling! How can he smiled in such a state like this!

"That would be wonderful, milord. Isabella giving birth to the next Duke" Marcus exclaimed, 

Lady Emily turn to me, the way she looks at me sure is full of hatred and disgusted..  I wish if look can kil, that look can eventually kill me right in my spot. She turned away.. 

"That means very soon I would being expecting a grandson?" Lady Pearl asked, that makes me feel more embarrassed, how could them forget what just happened and play like no such thing happened in the first place..

"Exactly" he added, joining in the fun while his hand was still squeezing on my buttock! I could still feel his erection down there. 

The three of them was the only one talking and smiling while others in the table couldn't let out a single word. After what happens, everyone seem to shut their mouths up. 

And during all these, I was feeling uncomfortable, since he would never let me go, I have to tried to escape from his strong grips. 

"Milord, please I want to go in for some rest" I said nicely for him to let me go. He turned, the grin on his face fade off. 

"Why? You haven't eaten your food" 

"No, milord, I'm not hungry, I just want to rest" 

At least, anything that would get me out of his presence. I'm ready to do it, I can't sit there and acted like everything is okay! Which is not... 

"Lady Isabella, so soon. But this your first day in the court room and the members have to know you more. Why trying to sneak out?" Lady Pearl asked, the way she suddenly address me, makes me more sick. 

What are them even doing! I just wake up from my dying sleep and everything changed completely! 

"I...I just want to rest"  I stammer, felt so disappointed on myself, I can't believe it! That I almost blown myself up. 

"I think lady Isabella need some rest. She's not used to the previous scene, maybe she'd need rest" Marcus said, referring my rest situation to the death of the man. Of course, he was right. I'm not used to that...

"Alright, I would go with her, you can all have your meal."

Marcus nods, " rest your assurance Milord, I believe everyone had their meal in peace. Isn't that right Lady Emily" he called on his sister and gave her a cold stare. I couldn't understand what he means but the way lady Emily replies, I think she's also scared like me 

"Y....yes brother" she turned to the Duke and I direction and said. "Everyone, is quiet enjoying their meal" she smiled. Behind that smile, I believe she's angry, either to me or the Duke for what he did probably that what I thinks...

"Alright, you all should enjoy your meal. And l hope what happened here today set as an example to any idiots who dare to defy my word or insults my woman" 

All bowed to the Duke. Immediately I stood up from his laps. At least, I would be far from him. This time I'm going back the servant quarter.
