Chapter 36: Kidnap
“You aren’t supposed to bring up memories that were long dead.” Azazel firmly reprimanded Levi who was slowly starting to put two in two into place, ignoring the cold Demon’s warning while turning away from him with his arms folded.
“Whether or not she’s the same person, I can’t say, all I know is we need to inform Roshan about this information.” Levi pushed on but this time, Azazel refused to budge as his expression went gelid, causing Levi to feel as though he just stepped into an Arctic circle.
“You’ll keep your lips sealed about what I just told you, if she’s destined to die, then so be it. Her soul is needed to fix the net chain of rebirth and no one shall stop it.”
His tone remained apathetic, yet Levi was willing to try again. She might be an Euphrasia clan, but the hate he had for them wasn’t what he had for her, instead he felt bad for her.
“But....”
“Don’t forget,” Azazel suddenly added, “Roshan might remember everything, but he doesn’t remember he had a wife once, telling him would only put his life in grave danger and you, without a doubt understand what I mean by that.”
He reminded Levi whose words immediately hung at his throat due to Azazel’s third warning and his shoulders slumped. As much as he tried to shake off the feeling that Azazel was right, telling Roshan about any of this would only put his life in danger. The young man has been through a lot already even if he’s too stubborn to admit it himself.
.....
“I understand your point.” He finally responded in a low dispirited tone, relieving Azazel a bit and the white-haired Demon turned away to stare at the multiple swirling lights.
“Good, you saw it yourself, she was reborn as an Euphrasia which earns her Roshan’s hatred as well, telling him won’t get rid of his hatred and he’ll only make her suffer so it’s best she dies for her own good, besides there is no cure for such fate.”
Levi could only blink in awe as he watched Azazel speak of death with such indifference in his tone. Of course, Roshan was the glacier and Azazel was the ice.
What cold-blooded beings!!

In one of the palatial chambers where Anna was laid and still being monitored, the unconscious beauty finally stirred a bit on the bed when she felt her position was a little bit uncomfortable, turning to the other side like a baby who was slowly waking up from her slumbers.
Finally regaining her consciousness, her lashes slowly fluttered open, revealing a pair of innocent, chocolate-brown sparkling eyes, but they closed up again when her eyelids felt too heavy and she couldn’t keep them open for much long.
She just wanted to sleep due to the heaviness of her eyelids and to be honest, being asleep was the only place she found peace.
‘Dear lord, for how long did I sleep?’ she silently asked herself while forcing her eyes to open once again but her vision became blurry and she felt a slight headache.
She was completely unaware of how she even fell asleep in the first place.
‘Did I pass out in the bushes again?’ her unsettled mind gradually wandered to different possibilities, not until her hands reflexively grabbed something soft and cozy to her touch, it felt like a bedsheet and one thing Anna knew for a fact was that there are no bedsheets in a bush.
Her brows knitted into a V sign as confusion painted her face and she forced her eyes open once again to see exactly what she had touched, pulling the bed sheet cover up a bit so she could see it more clearly, her eyes immediately went wide.
“A bedsheet?”
Like a quick bolt jolting through her brains at the realization, something immediately struck her senses, her hormones took quick charge of her body and that made her sprang upright on the bed the moment she realized she was nowhere in the bushes.
At least that’s where she was meant to be.
“How....where am I?” She alarmingly whispered to herself when her mind had settled a bit, seriously trying to study and understand the environment she was in.
No doubt, she’s in a bedroom which came pretty clear to her, but at the same time, she couldn’t tell if it was her imagination but the room she was in looked majestic and really beautiful.
The walls were painted in deep royal purple, with ornate patterns that masterfully stretched from the floor to the ceiling, seeming to be made of velvet. The curtains were a soft light purple coloration that gently swayed from the breeze penetrating into the room, due to the wide windows positioned at the right side of the wall.
In the center of the largest bed Anna has ever seen and currently lying on, the silken sheets and comfy pillows really made her wonder if she was dead and currently in her resting place. Shifting her bewildered gaze to the bed stand was a vase of lavender and its alluring scent invaded the entity of the spacious room.
Everything about the room was splendid! And it left her with one unanswered question.
“B_but how did I end up here?”
The confused and disoriented Anna quietly got out of bed, she silently tiptoed to the window as though she knew someone would be watching her and couldn’t risk alerting whoever it was that brought her here. She pulled the cottons open and to her even more bewilderment, it was night time!!
Goodness gracious! How long did she sleep??
She was undeniably surprised and remained rooted to where she was, her mind immediately thought of getting out of here as she tried as much as possible to silently open the windows, but unfortunately, they seemed stuck or even locked.
It felt as if the person who brought her here knew the next thing she’d think of doing once she wakes up is to escape.
Pursing her lips at the complete unfamiliarity of this place, she instantly recalled being in the woods and she had hurried to go get the things Calista had given to her before it got dark, then she saw Adryan standing before the dark woods and his betrayal suddenly enveloped her heart.
Shaking that memory aside for now, she equally remembered sir Bryan had showed up to take Adryan back to the kingdom, she wanted to stop it when someone grabbed her and that person.... That person was none other than...
“Roshan.”
His name fell from her lips in a whisper, following the breath of wind that blew into the room as a surprised look masked her face.
Her eyes went round the moment she recalled how he forced a kiss on her against the tree and her heart uncontrollably sped up at such remembrance.
“He.....he kissed me.” Her fingers impulsively went to feel her lips after uttering those words, the memory was still fresh in her head and how he tasted still lingered on her lips.
After that kiss, she couldn’t remember anything else, almost like her mind went blank on what had occured next.
“Did he.... bring me here?” She finally swirled to look at the magnificent room once again and a dreadful feeling took place inside of her. He literally kidnapped her!
But why can’t she remember what happened after the Kiss? Or did she pass out after that?
Her fist balled into fury and her eyes glistened with untold rage as her mind immediately came to a conclusion.
Yep. She’s gonna kill him.
