THE MISTRESS’ DAUGHTER : CHAPTER 51 – 60
Kaiden turned over on the bed and opened his eyes to see Maledicta looking at him. He quickly sat up, and she laughed, the sound sending a shiver down his spine.
“Wow, your laugh is so beautiful,” Kaiden said, his eyes fixed on hers.
“I just wish you could continue to smile.” He added.
Maledicta’s smile disappeared, and she looked away, her expression turning serious.
“Last night, I slept well,I just couldn’t help but wonder why.” She said.
Kaiden’s brow furrowed in concern. “What do you mean?”
“There are some things I’m confused about. You just look so strange and different. I was expecting to be struck by thunder last night but nothing happened” she said.
“Is it bad that I look different?” he asked, trying to sound casual.
Maledicta shook her head. “I’m just so frustrated that I can’t figure it out.” She said.
Kaiden’s eyes locked on hers, and he smiled. “You don’t have to trouble yourself about it. Did you know my wish during the night of the festival?” He asked.
Maledicta’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What was it?”
Kaiden’s smile grew wider. “I wished for you to be happy, Maledicta.” He said.
Maledicta’s expression didn’t change, but her eyes seemed to bore into his soul.
“Why would you use your wish for me?” She asked.
“Because you’re special to me, and I think seeing you happy makes me feel satisfied.” Kaiden said with a smile.
“You may regret getting closer to me.” Maledicta said after some minutes.
Kaiden’s smile never wavered. “I don’t care.”
He leaned forward and pecked her on the lips. Maledicta turned it into a deep kiss, and Kaiden’s heart soared.
As they pulled away from each other, “I should leave. I have a training session with Senior Thane.”Kaiden grinned.
Maledicta nodded and lay back on the bed.
Kaiden stood up and quickly left the room. As he stepped out into the corridor, he was surprised to see Benedicta standing outside, looking pale and tired. She was shivering, and her eyes seemed sunken.
“Benedicta, are you okay?” Kaiden asked, his voice filled with concern.
Benedicta’s eyes locked on his, and she managed to gasp out a few words. “You…spent…the…night…with…her…again.” She said.
Kaiden’s eyes widened in surprise as Benedicta collapsed, and he quickly caught her before she could hit the ground. He rushed her to the infirmary house, his heart racing with worry.
The healer quickly checked Benedicta over and smiled reassuringly. “It’s just a cold. She’ll be alright soon.” She said.
Kaiden breathed out a sigh of relief and left the infirmary house, his mind whirling with questions. Why was Benedicta outside Maledicta’s room so early in the morning? And what was going on with her?As he walked away, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.
