BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114
Chapter 114: Sibling and Cousin- Part 1
In the cold night, Nora laid next to Dorian in the bedroom of his mansion after they had only finished pleasing each other with their bodies. She couldn’t believe sex could be overpowering and she was glad she had not picked any suitors before meeting Duke Scathlok. Since the time they had met, she had her eyes on him. Gone where the measly men of her town she had ever laid her eyes on. The man had everything she wanted. Money, status, power to pull down the vampires from their high horses and most of all he was a very attractive man. He had taken her to bed several times and she enjoyed it to her heart. After all with the way she thought, life was perfect the way it was now. She had everything she wanted, including the fact that her sister Heidi was sent as a suicide mission to the land dominated by vampires.
She disliked her sister. No not dislike, Nora thought, she loathed Heidi. Always trying to be nice and behaving as if she needed to be pitied by the outsiders.
Turning to her side to face Dorian, she spoke, “I heard from Uncle Raymond that you went to visit Bonelake few days ago.”
Dorian who was looking up at the ceiling, turned his gaze towards the woman before looking up back at the wall without moving his head.
“I had to go confirm about few things,” said Dorian.
“You said you were going to kill the lord of Bonelake by using Heidi’s help. Why won’t you let me help? I can do a better job than her,” the Duke laughed hearing her complain and got up, to sit up on his bed.
“Your father wouldn’t be pleased with it. The world isn’t rosy as you think,” he chided as he got up from the bed to pick up the clothes which rested on the chair. He began buttoning up his shirt and as he did his sleeves, he said, “I thought you wanted your sister to burn in hell. Aren’t you pleased with it?”
“It’s not like that,” she replied back. Lifting up the sheets to cover her naked body, “I only want to be useful to you.”
“Do not worry, you’re being plenty useful to me,” Dorian scanned her up and down with a smirk, “I have to go attend the council meeting. I will see you in two days.”
Nora saw the man walk towards the closet to open and pull out the jacket from it. He never informed or gave her details about anything. It wasn’t that she was interested in the political matters but she wanted to be close to him. Despite the fact that he bed her more than two times a week, she was aware that he wasn’t in love with her. They weren’t close enough to share important things and she wanted to be closer to him. The only actual conversation they had was about her wretched sister which she wasn’t keen on talking about. Even though she had successfully driven her sister out of her life and family, it seemed that she still was the center of the universe. Dorian was her man or in the process of becoming hers and Nora knew he preferred her yet in the recent days there were times when he would talk about Heidi more than her. It infuriated her to no means and she wanted her to be gone.
Years ago when Heidi was brought home into the Curtis family with her Uncle, her first thought was that she had been blessed with a sister but she had been so wrong. She could still remember the night when Heidi had fallen sick when they were young. It was only a month since Heidi had started living with them.
She saw her mother dip the cloth in the vessel of water before wringing it to place it on the girl’s forehead. The girl murmured something and as Nora stood at the door and not next to the girl, she couldn’t hear what she said but her mother did.
“Shh that’s alright. You are safe here my dear,” her mother gently placed her hand on the girl. Suddenly hearing the girl scream out of nowhere which made Nora look at her with a startled expression.
