Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503: The Good News

Back in the demon world, Rohan didn’t stop from destroying everything. He made it personal when he burned down the royal castle in Nightbrook, but killing and destroying everything didn’t give him the solace he longed for; it didn’t cure his broken heart. At least before Belle came into his life, he had been heartless, feeling nothing, but having a broken heart and having none at all were entirely different experiences.

Many times he tried not to feel, but her image flashed into his mind repeatedly. He saw her smiling and alive. He found himself looking through the vision to the room in the castle where he had stored every single portrait of her he had made, and he watched them.

Back when they were in Bimmerville, he had made sure to retrieve every single portrait of her he had painted and stored them all in his art room at the castle, displaying some of them on the walls and hiding those he had taken of her without clothes, which he had promised would be for his eyes alone.

Now, he watched them through the vision, remembering every curve and every smile of her he had captured during Angel’s pregnancy. There was another portrait from the time they had gone out on her birthday in Bimmerville, where she smiled and her face was highlighted by the floating wishing lamps. Her hazel eyes were luminous and sparkling, her smile bright, brighter than the stars themselves, her cheeks flushed from the cold. A twisting sensation gripped his heart and closed his throat.

Looking at her portraits was nothing but a terrible mistake, for it killed something inside him all over again. It made him so angry he wanted to ruin everything; it broke him so much that silent tears leaked from his eyes, and his heart felt like it was shattering into tiny little pieces, as if he were watching her die in front of him all over again and he couldn’t do anything about it.

Three days had passed without her. Three fucking days without his wife.

While he sent his flames into the lands, he replayed all the happy memories of her in his mind until they overlapped, adding to his misery. In a fit of anguish, he shot off every thought and memory.

Rohan didn’t know how long he had been destroying places, but he was aware that days had passed. And if it weren’t for the demon king’s interruption, Rohan knew he wouldn’t have been aware of anything, and even that interruption was not welcomed, as he had warned the bastard not to come in front of him for as long as he was here.

"Hello, young one. How is your destruction coming along? You must have sunk half the world by now," Ereves said casually, daring to stand next to the boy, who acted as if he couldn’t hear him and did not acknowledge him. Ereves had expected as much, so he didn’t let the boy’s silence put him off from saying what had brought him here.

He had spent days in that boring, dull place just to achieve what he was about to announce and make it possible, so Rohan’s silence was nothing. "You should step away and tend to your wounds, boy. The bullets will rot your flesh if you don’t remove them. They don’t look so good in your back."

Since the day Belle had died, Rohan’s senses had numbed any physical pain, and the bullets had been left unattended.

"You—"

"Say another word to me and I’ll fucking choke you with flames, Ereves. Leave me alone," Rohan warned in a dangerous, deep voice, causing Ereves to raise his hands in surrender.

"As much as I want to leave you alone, I have something very important to tell you," Ereves said, peeking at the boy from the corner of his eye. Rohan’s jaw tightened, and his temper visibly simmered as he didn’t want Ereves beside him.

"You know—" Ereves began, but Rohan swirled around and grabbed the demon’s neck, his claws digging in as fire burned in the palm of his other hand. "What part of leave me alone don’t you fucking understand?" he growled.
