The escape

Lady Ophelia knew she was forbidden from seeing the stranger. She hadn’t been touched that way, not even by the Vampire lord. She felt she needed to see him again but it would risk exposing her.

Her mother, Constance had grown suspicious too. She hovered by her room and always demanded to see what went in and out of her room.

She didn’t want this naive daughter of hers to ruin the plan she had already set to motion.

Constance was expecting guests that evening. She knew they had not just come for women’s tea, they had other plans in mind, maybe to see how far her daughter had gone with the pregnancy.

Constance made sure Ophelia remained rested in her room the entire visit. She entertained the guest and when they had asked after her daughter she had told them that her daughter was resting as she was always weak and tired due to the pregnancy fatigue.
