Where did she stand!
Richard looked at the face of hazel that was much more relaxed than before. She was even smiling warmly with her eyes yet he did not understand why she had not even once considered marrying him?
He was one of the most sought after bachelors! Did she not find him attractive enough or she did not want to marry someone who was a beast? The question swirled in his mind like a hurricane. Her eyes were trying to pierce her soul, yet there was not a single line of worry on her forehead as if she had nothing to hide.
But then her voice turned stern as she asked him, "Is that the reason you want to marry me?" her voice was telling if you said yes, i would kill you! Which made him feel amused.
She was the first to threaten him in both human and beast form.
He still remembered how she had shouted at him to stay put when he had shown her his claws. That time he did not trust her but now!! She is the one whom he trusted the most.
