"You are a very important person here. Hasn’t there been any pressure for you to get married and have a child? I can’t imagine the people looking up to you would’ve been happy with the fact you were waiting on a woman who might not return." It was evident by the disappointed expressions on some of the women’s faces that they were looking forward to being with Vincent.
"There has been a lot of talk about my future wife but I have turned down the offers. I don’t plan to spend the rest of my life with a woman I do not love. I want to have a marriage similar to how my father loved my mother. It wasn’t an arranged marriage or wanting something from the other person. They truly loved each other. If some of the people here had it their way, they wouldn’t have allowed my father to marry her."
"Your father stood his ground and married her. Marrying to gain something seems to be a trend everywhere and then many wonders why they are so lonely. It’s good you are sticking to your heart but I fear I might die with the way many of your admirers are looking at me. I have a feeling I came at a bad time," Aurora said, deciding to ignore the looks and just take in the view instead.
"Around this time, many of the young folks find their significant other. It might be someone they had feelings for or they know who they want to many through a feeling I can’t explain. I just know they can tell they were fated to be with that person from a simple touch. You have the honor of riding with someone who is at the top of the list for being many of the women’s first choices."
"I can’t tell whether I love or hate your confidence now," Aurora said, rolling her eyes when he hinted at the fact he was well desired. He didn’t need to tell her. One could tell just by looking at his face and body that many would want him. "These women are longing after you but little do they know how many tricks you love to play or how blunt your words are. One day with you and they’ll want the marriage to be over with."
"That’s why you are perfect for me. You are handling my personality just fine. Save their poor hearts and stay with me."
"I can tell that you are behind there laughing at what you are doing. Let some other woman be the one to save you. I don’t want to end up in your love squares. I’ve heard stories of how vicious women can become to get the man they want. I want to keep my hair, thank you very much. Are we near the town?" She questioned noticing there were small stands with vegetables increasing the further they traveled. There were many vegetables and fruits she had never seen before. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Yes, we’re almost there. We only have one town so it is quite busy with many things being sold. As Mari said, it’s not any different from what you have seen when you live with that old hag," Vincent insulted Minnie once more.
"My feelings for Minnie have changed but do you really need to insult her every chance you get?" Aurora asked because she wasn’t comfortable with the way he spoke about Minnie. freewebnøvel.com
"I and that woman have a lot more bad blood than you know about. There are things she has done which the name hag fits her. I am giving you the heads up that one of these days I am going to kill her. She is not going to rest until she has you back there under her control. You are too kind to still defend her but I am not like you."
"A gentleman doesn’t kill old women," Aurora reminded him.
"I already told you, I am only a gentleman to those who deserve it. People like that woman are deserving of what I am sending their way. You might surprise yourself and be the one who kills her. You were the one she kept captive and you might be the last person she sees before drawing her last breath. For what your brother did, you might do the same-"
"No! I wouldn’t hurt Samuel even after the choice he has made. We are siblings even though it is not by blood." Aurora never planned to hurt Samuel or Regina
"I have seen many siblings who were once close from birth turn on each other without a second thought. They painted the sibling’s blood on the floors and walls as a sign no one would stand in the way of what they wanted. The harsh reality you and your siblings need to understand is the world will get to you and greed will get in between you. Sooner or later, the bond you have will disappear. The girl you were with seems promising but all hope might be lost for you brother."
"Vincent!" Aurora exclaimed, refusing to believe that.
"Here’s something you should know about me, Aurora. I have the ability to smell death lingering on someone and the scent was strong that night I came to rescue you. It was coming from your sister or your brother. One of them is not going to live for much longer and I have a feeling it is the other who will kill them. Considering the relationship you have with your sister, I would hope she is the one who doesn’t die but the world doesn’t care about what we want."
Aurora closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands. She didn’t want to hear this right now. She refused to believe that Regina and Samuel would turn on each other. They were blood-related and close to each other. Sure they bickered constantly but they wouldn’t try to kill each other. "I was standing close to the two of them that night. What if the scent of death was lingering on me? What would you do then?"
