MOONSHINE CASTLE,

After Esme expressed her thoughts of visiting Aaron's secret villa, the maid had no objection leading her way outside. As usual, Esme found Viviana over the entrance thus she instructed the maid to retreat from there.

Viviana was a little surprised after Esme's appearance outside at this hour and bowed her head a little.Looking up at her darkened expression, Viviana asked nervously assuming that Esme was in foul mood,

" My Lady, why did you come out? Is.. Is something happened?"

Esme didn't reply anything and spitted out straight away,

" Take me to the villa that your Lord is staying now. I need to see him."

Viviana was little shocked and felt extremely auspicious. As a head of guards and maids, both she and Jasper were always aware of everything that happen inside the castle. Thus it was no longer a secret to them that Aaron had suddenly given this weird order.

Viviana lowered down her head in guilt and showed reluctance as Aaron strictly said that no one could enter the villa without his permission. Esme read through her thoughts deeply and spitted out gritting her teeth together,

" Either you will take me there or I will go there by myself. But I must go."

Viviana was in poor hand as she knew that there was no way of stopping her anymore. Thus she could only compromise at the end figuring out that Esme's maid wasn't by her side.

Gesturing towards the outdoor, she spoke gently,

" Let me take you over there, my lady. Its not safe to visit around especially when Enchantress hasn't been found yet. But after the later outcome, I can't do anything if Lord gets angry on you."

Esme squeezed a few words tightly walking outside through the path,

" Leave it to me! "

Viviana sighed before preparing her own riding horse rather than choosing a carriage. The villa was situated just after Jasper's living villa thus it wasn't so far from the moonshine castle.

Helping Esme to climb up over the white horse, Viviana quickly drove away towards the secret villa quickly.

On the flip side, Carol had already walked few metres away from the castle and paused in a certain spot when she found that no one from the castle could see her anymore. Flinging open her wide wings, she didn't waste a moment to scan around and flew away towards the Crimond Hill quietly.

A few moments later, she appeared over the hill and located a villa among the jungle trees. Landing down swiftly, her face scrunched up a little feeling an existence behind her.

Turning back quickly, she spotted no one but her instinct was warning her continously that she had been watched by anyone.

Thus she spent a few moments contemplating on the thought that whether she should insert into the villa or not!

MEANWHILE,

Esme had reached over the secret villa that Aaron kept in behind everyone's back. Only few staffs were acknowledged the owner of this certain property.

Descending down, Esme swiped across her eyes around over the darkened villa and felt more suspicious. It was fair to call it a secret villa as it appeared like abandoned house from exterior design.

Surrounded by lawn grasses, it had no burning torch in outside as if it was any kind of haunted eyes. Esme located two guards guarding on the entrance as she made her way inside without waiting for Viviana.

As soon as the guard spotted a figure coming towards their way, they were alerted instantly and were ready to block her off. Broadening their arms, they interrupted Esme's pathway when she came closer,

 " Wait Miss, you can't enter in. Our master has forbidden anyone to enter inside."

They deliberately addressed Aaron as master without acknowledging Esme's identity. Esme halted in her tracks and felt more enlarged when a soothing music came out vaguely from through the little gap of door.

She looked up and squeezed her words powerfully,

" Do you think that you can stop me?"

The guards were startled taking a close look of her face and quickly retreated down their hands shakingly. Lowering their gaze down, one of the guard answered nervously,

" Pardon us, my lady. But Lord has forbidden us.. "

Esme parted her lips to argue back but at that moment, Jasper spotted Esme from aside as he was a little far away from there.

He hurriedly walked over to her and gestured Viviana to know what was happening. Viviana showed a helpless look and stood quite behind him. 

Jasper bowed his head down respectively and spoke in calm tone to infuriate her more, 

" My Lady, pardon us. Lord has just come to spend a fun time here. He will be going back soon. Let me take you back to the castle." 

Esme glared at him harshly and stated fuming in rage, 

" Don't just lick your Lord's boots always. I'm also your queen and deserve to know about everything. Let me go to him or else I won't take a step back from here. "

Jasper was astounded after hearing her powerful words and wanted to cry badly. 

Everytime this couple fighted, he suffered the most! 

Glancing at the doorway, he felt bothered as he didn't know what was happening inside now! 

On the other side, Aaron was sitting down inside room holding a glass of wine as his gaze seemed distracted. The human girls who had been pet of him for years were dancing flawlessly in front of him. 

Wearing only lingeries, they seemed like cheap stripper who are used to entertain the guests. They were quite shocked after learning out that Aaron wanted to see their dances rather than sucking blood. 

This girls were repaying the debts of their ancestors for being a vampire hunter. After Aaron got to know that many vampires were killed by this hunters from human world, he abducted this girls and boys from those hunter families who ever dared to kill his clan members. 

Years after years, he kept them caged in here and tortured tremendously until their mourning screams satiated his anger and avenge. He tortured them however he wanted and sometimes sucked their warm blood to quest his thirst. 

Even though they were forced here, they couldn't resist the urge of tempting this deadly handsome vampire king. Thus they all danced provocatively and wished that he would take a fancy to one of them and used her to satisfy his manly desire. 

However the man didn't even look up at them and continued gulping glass after glasses wine looking down absentmindedly. Whatever their provocative gazes couldn't escape away from Aaron's sharp gaze who felt no desire for them. 

Even in the past, he never touched them to conquest his sexual desire or nor did he touched any of them improperly. Gulping down, he reminded the man when Esme declared that she didn't wish to bore a child for him. 

As a man, this could be considered the biggest insult one could ever had. Thus his heart was in deep sore and pain this time. He didn't understand why he was so controlled by this emotions that kept turning him weak. 

On the contrary, Jasper was intending to stop Esme one last time but Esme had already made her way inside without waiting for his explanation. 

Jasper's face turned horrified in shock as he quickly trailed her off closely. With a bang, the wooden door was opened instantly as the dancing girls paused in their tracks abruptly. 

Looking up at them, Esme's mouth fell open in awe as she never expected that Aaron would be so lame to enjoy a strip dance openly. 

In a moment, her eyes turned bloodshot as she shifted her furious eyes over the man who had been drinking nonchalantly. 

Watching her expression turning grim, Jasper was startled as he quickly waved his hands to the girls gesturing them to leave fast. 

Esme entered quietly and stopped ahead of him blankly. The girls left quietly in displeasure as Jasper closed the door from outside considerably. 

When the music stopped suddenly, Aaron finally snapped out from his thoughts and looked up to see Esme a little drunk. His gaze remained cold as he heard her cold words, 

" What's going on here? Did you start enjoying women after fighting with me?" 

Aaron laughed bitterly and replied hauling up from the couch, 

" Why can't I? Didn't you also say that you won't bore any child for me? I said that I won't accept anyone as my wife but that doesn't mean that I can't play with other women. Why do you feel bothered anyways?" 

He asked looking up at her coldly as if he was seeing any other woman. Esme couldn't believe her own ears that he was seeing women behind her back. 

She admitted that she had hurt him today and didn't wish to see her. But how could he forget so easily that he had a wife living in the castle? Couldn't he respect her dignity a bit? 

Fighting with her tears that were begging to fall down, she answered in a low voice, 

" Fine! Let's get divorced then!" 

Aaron's face sank immediately as he blurted out in disbelief, 

" Divorce ??????"
