Who is happy to see Erica's POV once again.

Erica's POV:

A particular smell woke me up. I gradually opened my eyes to see him in front of me. And I saw myself smiling at his handsome face.

Why the hell am I smiling?
Heavens what is he doing unto me. The way he worships me is not under control.

Every of his charm is working on me.

How gentle he is, his sweet words, his cheerful act, his hot voice and his handsome face has already started doing things to me.

It shouldn't. He's a vampire, my enemy and immortal I shouldn't have anything to do with him but I ... just but... but just why?

No matter your charms Steven. You shall die my hands.

Suddenly, he blinked his eyes opened.

"You like what you see," he cockily said.

"Stop daydreaming young man." I replied trying to get up but he pulled me down back to the bed.

"I don't want you to get up yet." He whined like a child.

"How bad. We should head back to your kingdom before any outrageous attack." I told him pushing him away and quickly stood up heading out of the room.

"Yeesh... we could have cuddled a little longer." I could hear his sweet whining voice coming from the room.

Steven you're something. It got me smiling a little.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

We now set out to find carriages which will head south.

I wore pants, shirt and boots just the way I want it. The dresses in his cupboard was inappropriate for me to wear.

Steven wasn't happy with me dressing in pants but he could do nothing.

So we walked along each other In silence enjoying the beautiful nature God created.

Suddenly he held my hands lovingly. I stared at both his hands and mine which were now intertwined and back at him. He smiled softly at me sending me a message to let it just be that way.

I said nothing nor restrain as I let his cold hand wrap my warm once. I did feel relaxed holding hands with him.

Maybe because we were alone and not in his castle.

"You know you're something else." I spoke my mind out.

"Oh really. Like what?" He enquired with a grin.

"I don't know. Can't lay a finger on it." I replied with a smile.

We walked close to each other sharing our likes and dislikes.

"I've always buttoned this within me Erica but I can't anymore and I truly understand it now." He told me with a soft smile.

I turned to face him in confusion. "What's that?" I curiously asked.

He also faced me with admiration in his eyes. "Erica I like you so much." He confessed.

Impossible! I almost voiced out.
No... it can't be. It's impossible. No!!!

A scowl appeared on my face as I tried snatching my hand away from his warm hold.

"You don't know what you're saying." I blurted out a bit annoyed.

Not understanding why? Why? Just why?

"No Erica. I swear I do. I truly like you. I just can't stand it when you're sad or alone or with another man." He convinced holding my hand a bit firm not wanting to let go.

"Stop this nonsense. I'm just a mere human go look for your kind to like." I objected trying to get away from him.

Always finding it hard to breath around him especially when he creates a tense environment.

"Erica please give me a chance..."

"Why does it have to be me?" I screamed out not understanding why.

Where are all this emotions coming from?

He wanted to answer but I gave him no chance to do so. "You're the king of Eternal Kingdom. Don't tell me that ever..." I saw myself warning him, I got released from his hold and started walking far away from him.

"You can't have feelings for your killer." I muttered out but it was loud for his vampire ears.

I don't know why but truly I know it would hurt him when I kill him even after knowing he has feelings for me.

He shouldn't. He just can't.

"I don't give a damn." He replied hugging me from behind. "I really don't Erica. I really don't."

"Please get a room," someone said as Steven and I snapped our head up to see a man sited at the front ridding an old carriage.

"Where are you headed to. South or west?"  Steven quickly questioned now holding my right hand.

"South. Going straight to The Eternal Kingdom for my business transaction." The man announced.

Wait a sec. Can't this man recognise this is the king of such kingdom.

"Good. You'll be paid once you arrive there." Steven told him as he got into the old carriage dragging me with him as we both sat beside each other.

"I don't give a damn Rica." He reminded pecking my cheeks and grinned.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

One, can't Steven understand that an immortal and a mortal can't be linked.

Two, there's no relationship between the dead and the living.

Three, he's my enemy. He killed my family, my people and for the love of God took me into slavery.

One, I've forgiven him but I've vowed he'll pay for his consequences.

Two, after much thought deep down I don't want to hurt him.

Three, but I have to do it. If not my ancestors will be angry at me and curse me for the rest of my life.

I'm so confused right now.

"Hey Erica what are you thinking about?" He queried while pecking my cheeks.

I snapped my head to glare at him. "Can you stop doing that." I told him feeling embarrassed cleaning my right cheek.

"Come on Rica, there's nothing to be embarrassed of." He replied pecking my right cheek once again as I tried to clean it off my cheek, he immediately wrapped his both hands around my shoulders hugging me in the process.

"Come on stop cleaning my love off your soft cheek." He whined pecking it again.

"Can you stop." I also whined. "Not ever." He replied now placing a kiss on my ear lobes.

"Damn, I like you soo much." He muttered out.

"We have arrived love birds." The man ridding the carriage notified us.

Finally.

I steard at Steven who was throwing dangerous glears at the man. His expression made me chuckle.

I dragged his cheek. "Just leave the old man alone."

"Righttt..." He sarcastically replied rolling his eyes.

I never knew the king of Eternal Kingdom could be sooo... I don't know sweet and playful.

We got down from the carriage as he quickly payed the man. Where did he get the money from?
Well it ain't my business.

I noticed that we were already in the market of his kingdom. People moving here and there making business transaction..

No one noticed their king was right before them. I guess royal wears have their effects.

"I don't think the man knows you're the king." I blurted out.

"Fuck him. He dropped us halfway to the castle and I paid him fake currency..." he also blurted out with a sneaky grin.

I snapped my head towards him with opened eyes. "You did what?" I whispered yelled.

"Relax, let me do what I do best."

"Oh my gosh, Steven you're unbelievable."

"That's right momma." He answered hugging me from behind and pecked my cheek.

This man is shameless, shameless I tell you.

I gently removed his hands from my waist as he immediately held my hand dragging me forward as he showed me around the kingdom's global market.

We finally got to the gate of his castle as his guards raised their sword up blocking us from entering.

Really.

"Peter do you want me to break that your handsome face." Steven threatens.

"Ooh Sire. My apologies." Peter replied as him and the other guard opened the gate.

Steven walked majestically holding my hands in the process suddenly I saw Nora and Emma running towards us and quickly hugged me.

"Oh we missed you soo much," they both said.

"Same here, lovely flowers." I replied pecking their cheeks.

"Why can't you call me sweet names and spoil me with kisses." Steven nagged quietly with an envious tone but was enough for me to hear.

What's he envious of?

Ma'am Lucy also walked up to us anxiously. She immediately hugged Steven and I.

"I'm glad you're okay. If I knew such would happen at the conference I wouldn't let you two go," she worriedly said. "So this is how I would have lost my next generation." She added.

What does she mean by that?

"We are okay grandmother. Let's head inside." Steven replied with a big smile still holding my hand.

What's up with him?

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

When I got to my room, I noticed the door was locked. I knocked on it and patiently waited for the girls to open the door.

In sec, the door lock made a click and then flew the door wide opened by Rosa.

"She's finally back." She screamed happily dragging me into the room and shutting it close.

Linda immediately got up from my bed, walked up to me and dragged me towards it and sat me down. Sonia sat by the right hand side on my bed while Lisa did same on my left. Linda sat on her bed which was facing mine so as Rosa while Sia stood up waiting for one of them to say a word.

I was completely shocked feeling nervous at the same time.

"How did it go?" Lisa threw the 1st question.

"We were attacked." I answered plainly.

"We knew that shit. After the attack Erica?" Asked Sonia.

My face popped out remembering what Steven and I did on the bed yesterday.

I literally stopped him because I was close to letting him do stuff to my body. My body was responding with every of his touch, my body was enjoying it and was asking for more. It felt wrong but right at the same time but fully right.

"Erica." Linda called out.

"Nothing else happened."

"What!" They all exclaimed.

Lisa covered her face in disappointment, Sonia fell on my bed being disappointed with my reply, Sia just sat on the floor while Linda and Rosa stared at me weirdly.

This is how my sisters would stare at me when they want to get me to say something.

"What?" I finally asked my question.

"It's obvious Erica. We want you and the king to be together," said Linda.

"Clearly couples." Added Rosa.

"Exactly." Sia, Lisa and Sonia also complimented.

"Impossible." I stubbornly answered.

"Erica come on, read in between the lines. When you two come together as one," said Lisa.

"Once you're his wife and he's your husband," said Sonia

"Also his Queen and he's also your King," said Sia.

"There's will be peace between mortality and immortality. Isn't that what you want." Added Rosa who kept staring at me with soft eyes.

"Why are you all unrealistic?" I asked trying not to shout.

I was angry. Why? No reason.
They can't just tell me that.

"I wanted to stop the killing of humanity. Yes, that's what I wanted. But I wanted to do it with my father. Nothing much. And you're telling me this now. If he hasn't sent his soldiers to eliminate my people I would still reconsider."

"Erica don't you want to build peace?" Asked Sonia.

"Nooo. I want to destroy it. Nothing more." I blurted out and walked out of the room shutting the door close.

I must render just to the unjustified. It was a promise I must fulfill.

Erica 😁❤️🌼
