Reborn, Its Time To Save My Family And.. My Enemy!
Chapter 165: Marry Me!

Chapter 165: Marry Me!

Pain rose in his chest, he ignored it. He ignored the disappointment in his heart too as he smiled at her.

"You do not have a choice." the words felt like a lead between them and her expression changed.

"What do you mean?" looking at her wry eyes he wanted to laugh. He still remembered her following him in the wilderness to gain his attention and he had been this wary toward her.

"My words are clear, Olivia. You know too much, I can not let the royal family have you. You belong here, you belong to me." her eyes widened with shock, fury and something like heartbreak when he stared at them. If only she knew!

She inhaled a deep breath to ignore those emotions. Always caring about others and killing her own feelings. Would she ever change?

"Damon, I am not your enemy. I would never harm you." she took a step closer to cajole her.

"Do I look like a child, Olivia?" He raised a brow. His hand coming for her waist shocked her again. She scowled and attempted to shout but he only laughed.

"You can shout, who would hear you? And you would wake up the kids." The last threat worked because she gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"What do you want?" she snapped, barely holding her patience.

"You!"

"Why?"

"Because you know secrets."

"What if I tell you those secrets?" She was tempted and he could see sincerity in her eyes but ignored it.

"I could never confirm them until I have some collateral!"

"And I am that collateral?" her voice rose with fury in it but he smirked.

"Why? Were you getting married to the second prince for love?" his mocking tone did not escape her cold eyes and she bit her lips hard. For she did not have any excuse. A second passed, two third until she inhaled a breath to steady herself again.

"This is different." she finally replied with a tone full of exhaustion.

"I can not continue this." she accepted, raising her hand in defeat.

If only, she had learnt to fight for herself. He would teach her that soon!

"You do not need to, Olivia. You are getting married to me." She sat on the chair and closed her eyes.

"How! We are related. The empire would never allow it." he should have been happy that she was giving up! Yet, all he felt was abandoned.

"Your sister would divorce my dead husband. When their marriage would be annulled. We will not be relatives anymore." she frowned, her brows furrowing with disbelief.

She shook her head, giving up on arguing with him again.

"But the nobles would still gossip. My sister had two children with your father. If I married you... I will be the daughter in law of my own sister!" Just thinking about it sounded so ridiculous that her lips twisted with disgust.

"Are you sure that kids belong to my father?" he smirked and her eyes widened. Her jaw hit the ground.

"What do you mean?" Damon just leaned on his seat and smirked.

"So there is something you are unaware of too." looking at his smirk, her blood boiled and she glared at him.

"Do not spout nonsense." her gloomy face did not change his words. He kept staring at her with conviction until she was not sure herself.

"You are lying." she shook her head. "I have been with my sister all this time. She had never been with any other man except your father. Even in the manor, she had hardly left this house except for shopping. And his grace would have never accepted someone else’s child." Damon nodded, making her frown.

"Your deduction is right, Olivia. But not everything needs to follow logic. Your sister did not cheat on my father but who knows what had happened. I can prove that the kids did not belong to my father." she wanted to snap again when she heard the duvet rustling.

She shut her mouth tightly and held his arm to drag him out of the room.

But the moment she held him, he pulled her in his arms and she leaned on him.

"Let me go!" she shrugged hard but his grip was like a vice, she could not break free.

"Marry me and I will hide the truth. Or the kids will suffer with you and your sister. You know that she would be accused of treachery and a fallen noble would be sentenced for death for the crime. Not only her, the kids would suffer a cruel fate." Olivia stiffened. She did not dare further.

"Marry me, Olivia. If you could accept marriage with a man sleeping with a new woman every night, you can marry a cruel man like me too." he pulled her enough to meet her eyes but did not let go. He was sitting on the chair while she was standing in front of him.

The way she leaned, he could see a good part of her cleavage. Her eyes turned misty and she bit her lips. She was looking so appealing that he wanted to eat her then and there. But he controlled. He told himself that she was not ready yet.

He did not want to force her to make love if he had already forced her to marry him.

"Olivbia, I am at the end of my patience." he warned and she inhaled. Distrust was clear in these misty eyes

"Alright." she breathed! "But if all this was proven a lie, I will never forgive you Damon. And trust me, if I decided to stand against you, nothing could stop your ruination." he did not doubt her even for a second.

"If not for you, I would have been ruined a long time ago." he whimpered as he touched her cheeks. His touch was warm and tender, opposite to the cruelty of his words. "If only you knew that I wanted to be ruined by your hands."
