Chapter 452 What A Small World

 Gracie's Point of view…..

I opened my eyes slowly to find myself being crushed against by Theophilus. I looked around but it was not the room where I slept last night. I know that what happened could cause me to be confused but I am certain that this is not his room. 

  This place is bigger than his room. It was example of rooms made for kings

   I lingered my eyes around the room trying to absorb it into my mind. I saw a portrait of Theophilus and this lady I presumed to be the supposed bride. It was the girl I met few days back, the arrogant b****t. 

   What a small world? so she was the girl who was sitting on my birthright and still has the guts to call me names. I would say she deserves every bit of things that might be happening to her now or maybe, I shouldn't blame her anyway. It might not be her fault. Life just happened to her. 

   I did not even see her yesterday night. Only heaven knows how she will be handling the whole situation, if I get a chance I will ask after her.

   So if I am not mistaken, this place was prepared for the prince and his bride because all I am seeing here shows it. Starting from the portrait and boxes which could be the supposed bride's own.

  I sighed and tried to turn but I could not,this fang boy was holding onto me like his life depends on it.

  My mind went to Huddy and Lucy. If it gets late and she does not get to see me, she might worry that I am not okay and as for Huddy, I wouldn't be surprised if she knows something about me so she is the least of my worries.

   "What could be the time?"

I wondered. My eyes would not stop wandering around the room. If only this guy will release me from his embrace, I need to go back home. Since I could not go last night, I might as well go this morning.

    "It's too early for you to be awake. Greetings to your my queen"

Theophilus said with a low pitch voice. His morning voice sounds sweet.

   "Morning Theophilus, you can release me now since you are awake"

I said groomy.

  He sighed and brushed his nose against my skin.

    "I love this feeling of you being close, no wonder I always wake up at Beverly by your side. I could not stay away"

   "Theophilus, be careful. Stop sniffing my skin"

  "Right, how can I forget that it irritates you that much but you have to get used to it. I love to do that and you can't stop me from doing it. If you know how happy I am, you will allow do whatever I want with you this morning"

   "Don't even try it. I haven't forgiven you for taking advantage of me last night. You will pay for it. So if you don't mind. My morning start now, I need to go back to Beverly"

  At the mention of Beverly, he stood up like he was poured hot water on.

  "You can't go back again, not now. It's not safe. Mom said until the black witch is dealt with you are not permitted to go anywhere"

   "What is he talking about, which black witch?"

  "You can't tell me what to do, who the hell is this black witch that is restricting my movement. Last night was; I could not go because it was your ritual night, now I can't go because one some black witch is on the leash. Do I have any business with whoever she is?"

  I said annoyingly. I am keeping quiet does not mean I am cool with this witch thing. My life can't just turn upside now.

   "See Gracie, I am sure you did not get to understand why Tiana has to hide you from your parents. It was because of this same witch. She has been a terror during my dad's time and because she did not succeed, she is back now in my own time. The story has it that she once fell in love with me in my past life but then I already had a mate which is you. She did something she was not supposed to do to have me and she was cursed. Ever since then she has been on the journey for revenge."

  I stared at him. Okay, this sounds serious.
