Chapter-31

Author's POV:

Vanessa stood beside Robert as he was talking to some people, she sipped on her juice as she was getting bored. She hated the interactions.

She was distracting herself from this party, she found herself internally complementing so many things, as she couldn't do much.

Robert smirked as he said to the person in front of him, "You can say.... I am busy, but surely know what is in everyone's head...." Robert did noticed the man next to this man looking at Vanessa, while she was lost in her own thoughts.

She said to Robert, "I will be back...."

Robert nod, she walked to Greg, who was seemed busy telling something to the staff.

Robert heard Mr. Jones, "I can see what keeps you busy.... look at that a**...."

Robert shot a glare at that man, only if was not a party he could just shot him right here. But he didn't wanted to cause scene in something Seth was arranging, he didn't wanted unwanted attention on her.

He clearly heard Mr. Jones passing some more dirty words about her.

Robert heard them, "Mr. Salvador really got his hand on a nice chick this it time.... when you are done I would like to see what this wh*re can do...."

Robert tighten his fist, he was at this edge. He smirked in anger, hiding it behind a cold expression... he was doing this for the sake of the this event!

He whispered internally, "Just wait for few hours.... I will kill you myself..." He smiled at these men.

Robert said, "I am afraid she is My personal....."

Robert abandoned the conversation, walking to Vanessa. He holds her close as he said, "Let's have some food... I am starving..." Vanessa nod confused.

He just wanted to pull her away from this conversation and these eyes on her, he knew once they see her they will just be hungry animal!

But he liked to hut those animals too.

While on the other said, People where lined up to please Seth. He just had his gaze cold, he was not interested in this color changing people.

He was here to declare his rule and did that.

Luna finally said as she couldn't take it anymore, "I want to go back...."

Seth said, "I never stopped you...."

Luna scoffed, she said, "Now that your power display is done, you are eager to get rid of me...."

Seth stood straight intimidating her, she gulped. Seth said with stern cold voice, "You think you and your Dad brought this to me.... You all are here on my mercy...... Your Dad forced you come here, not me.... save this attitude for later.... now get lost with that ugly face...."

She said bitter, "Yea... I will leave.... but you have to reject the engagement....."

Seth smirked, he said, "Don't worry.... I am not into a women who f*cks her bodyguard behind her father's back..." Luna's eyes went wide.

She heard him, "Now get out!..." She left the hall lowering her head, she knew her attitude will being doom to her love..... She still needs to hide this from her father.... and Seth was the worst enemy if she could ever make.

Seth noticed Marcos Davis approached him, He sat on his seat, studying that old man.

Terry whispered, "Don't kill him here.... you know it will weight like mountain right now..."

Seth scoffed, "Like I care...."

Marcos Davis said, "Well played.... turning my own people against me.... How are you this cunning?...."Seth smirked.

Marcos Davis said disgusted, " I hate to say it.... But I see him in you.... Wonder will you end up the same as him?"

Terry was little surprised by the bold words of this man. Seth chuckled instead, he said, "I promise you won't be alive till that day though...."

Marcos Davis looked at him like he wanted to kill Seth at this moment, and consume all the power he has. Marcos said, "No matter what you do, no matter of this position..... Hope you don't get murdered and no one knows who did it..... Just like your father, it will be shame...."

He was purposely hammering the weakest spot, Seth's eyes darken, like the memory he tried to lock in his head reappeared but now it only brings him anger.

Seth stood up in front of this old man. Marcos Davis said, "If you want to show power then first find who murdered your father.... then I will consider you as my Lord..... or you are not worth it..."

Marcos Davis found something pressing against his stomach, he felt a gun as Seth stood lost to him, with dark eyes.

His men noticed but seeing Seth's were guards behind him they all got tensed.

Seth smirked, he said, "It must be someone of you.... Or I wonder... who would crawl on my father's position the next second he was dead?.....Once I found proof I will shred you into pieces....."

Seth new the truth, but the world doesn't needed to know, what a shame it would to be knows as a son of women who killed her husband and settled with some other man.

It will bring him insult!

Marcos Davis moved back as he cleared himself, "I did not!!!!... I have never went against Alberto Morris..."

Seth laughed, he said, "Instead of searching of the heir after My father's death.... You went to take the position. You thought I was dead!! You must be glad.... and now you were trying take to my power.... How is this not going against Alberto Morris.... I am his son, after him your loyalty should me mine, but look at your greedy self....."

Marcos Davis looked at Seth speechless. Seth was looking like he lost his mind. Seth warned, "You better get your act together..... or I will make sure you will not see another day again.... today is not a power display but a warning to you!"

At the other end of the party all, Roberto saw Vanessa hiding her yawns. He checked the time, it was really late.

Robert got up saying, "Lets head back.... I am bored..."She immediately got up saying, " I am so exhausted...."

Robert kept a smile taking her to the car. He opened the car door for her, helping her in. She appeared not to bother by it too much, was she finally getting comfortable.

Robert remembered something, how he let those people slide? Like those comments made fresh wound on his skin, he need to payback.

Robert closed the door leaning against the window, he said, "I will back in 10 minutes wait here... I need to inform some people...."

Vanessa nod, Robert said to the guard, "Keep her safe... if any scratch is on her, I will kill you..." The guard just bowed.

In the way he asked a female staff to give her company too, he knew she will be uncomfortable alone.

Robert walked to the main all, he didn't see Mr. Jones.... He knew he must be fooling around, but today he fooled around with wrong person.

Robert pulled his gun searching for Jones. He didn't give a shit anymore. He was too angry, he was controlling for sake of Seth who was not in the party anymore, and He didn't wanted Vanessa to see his real form.

Soon, he heard whimper. He walked in the end rooms of the hotel, where there were merely anyone.

He opened door, he saw Terry standing there folding his arms, he had a coat in his hand too.

Robert noticed the coat of Seth, he saw Seth beating the sh*t out of someone, it didn't took him long to realize it was Jones.

Robert walked in completely where Terry noticed him. Robert thought, "How did he managed to offend us both in one night?"

Seth was too busy punching Jones ignored the foot steps. He was clearly angry, Jones couldn't even scream as his mouth was tied by his own tie.

Seth pulled his gun as he said, "Dare to call her 'whore' again.... I will not give you another chance... She is mine!!!!" Like Seth said those stuff in anger.

Robert was surprised, he was wondering when Seth heard all of that. And he came to hit him in middle of a live party?

Robert internally whispered, "How much she matter to him?"

Seth shot the man few times, he looked like he was devil from hell, who just wanted blood.

Robert felt like it was his right to take revenge on her basis... But Seth, was doing all this for a women, he was too arrogant to admit it though!

Robert saw Seth turning to him, Seth just said, "She came here with you..... You were suppose to shoot him right there and then..... I will not trust you again in her case...." Seth walked out signaling Terry to clean this mess.

Robert looked at the dead in anger. He reminded himself, Seth cannot love her.

Terry said, "I hope you understand.... What she means to him..... You must realize it before he does...."

Robert had a glance at Terry, he smirked. He didn't give up, It Would be Vanessa to decide whom she will choose. And Seth will never admit anything.

Robert walked to his car full of questions, what changed in Seth? he asked himself.

He found himself frustrated. He got in his car only to realized Vanessa was already asleep in the car.

His heart caught a speed, he looks at his lips. He wanted to torture her lips and make her his at that moment. He thanked his self control for still being a man not an animal.

He was never into forcing women into physical things, and he was surely not going to make that mistake here.

She was the first women he intended to make his wife. He smirked starting the car.

He whispered, "Patience my dear... patience..... I will have you one day....."

The whole ride, his eyes went to her, she appeared so pure when she was asleep, like the fierce demanding independent women doesn't exist.

Soon, he was in the palace, he picked her up carrying her inside, how could he wake her up from this beauty sleep? He chuckled carrying her inside.

He saw Martha getting up as she was waiting, sitting on the sofa. Robert wanted to take her to his room, and enjoy some pure warm, and this comfort for the first time.... He knew he had to face her betrayed face tomorrow if he did that.

He thought for today it was better to drop her in her room, he didn't liked she was staying in those smalls rooms in servants quarters.... they were the smallest rooms in the palace... while the guest and everyone stayed in the 2 nd floor and above.

Martha asked worried, "What happened to her?"

Robert said, "Nothing... just taking a little nap..." Martha's face eased.

Robert asked, "Mind if you showed me the way to her room..." Martha nod.

She took them to Vanessa's room opening the door for him. Robert placed her on the bed, Martha carefully covered her with the light comforter. Vanessa looked like she was out of this world, sleeping with no worry.

Robert smirked on her innocent looks, He whispered in his mind, "She is really death of me!"

Robert asked Martha as she was looking at him, "You aren't asleep?.... You are quite old for to be this stressed...."

Martha let a small nod, she said, "I am fine, Mr. Salvador....."

Robert smirked saying, "You still stay up late till he gets home... He is not a kid anymore, he will be back in 20 minutes or so anyways...."

Martha nod, she said, "It's my habit, I get worried about Master Morris.... he is motherless child at last.... someone should worry...."

Robert just said sliding the topic, "Motherless child?.... A mother who abandoned him for new family.... this still counts in Motherless section..."

He walked out of the room saying, "I am glad my parents are alive and together...."

Martha was speechless, She looked at Vanessa, who was way more comfortable in her sleep forgetting the world.

While Robert walked back to his room half hearted regretting already leaving her behind. He still whispered, "What kind of women will abandon her child?.... And they call us monsters?" He laughed on his own thoughts.
