Ileus: The Dark Prince,Chapter 577 - Difference Between Us - Read free novels online

Bernice gulped when Kaizan put his thumb in his mouth and sucked it. She had made the tea for him and he ended up giving more than half of it to Olivia. She couldn't believe that the tea that she had made with so many efforts was being poured down the mouth of Olivia. The tea was meant for Kaizan and this shameless bitch was drinking it. Not even once did she resist. Jealousy burned through her heart and the only thing that was lacking was smoke that should have come out of her ears. "B— But the tea is for you, Kaizan," she blurted.

Kaizan narrowed his eyes at her with his fingers still on Olivia's cheek.

"I m—mean General Kaizan," Bernice corrected herself.

"Is it a problem with you if I wanted to share the tea with my wife?" asked Kaizan, his aura growing dark.

Yes, it is! Bernice wanted to say it out loud, but how could she. "I—"

Before her daughter could blurt anything more stupid, Fuchsia interrupted, "Of course not, General Kaizan. Why would it be a problem? This is just tea. Anyone can have it. Bernice only meant that she would have gone to the kitchen and made more. But she is happy that even her sister gets to have the delicacies made by her."

Kaizan nodded with approval. He looked at Olivia who was still reeling under his act of possessiveness and shameless flirting. When their gazes locked, he brushed the hair on her forehead behind and murmured, "My sunshine."

Olivia's lips wormed into a smile as a warm feeling infused her body.

"How was your day?" asked Kaizan entranced in her smile.

"Hectic," she replied.

"Did you visit Murtagh?"

"Yes," said Olivia and her smile disappeared. Anxiety crossed over her face when she remembered what Murtagh had asked her to do. It was so horrible that it still pained her heart. She didn't want to tell Kaizan about it because their marriage was new and so was the peace treaty. Telling him about Murtagh's plans would mean as if they are trying to go against the orders of her pack as well as King Dmitri.

Seeing her gloom, Kaizan didn't ask her more. It was apparent from her face that the meeting didn't go as expected. "Why don't you go and rest, Olivia?" he said. "It looks like you have really endured a lot."

Bernice felt another stab of jealousy. They had come here after four days of journey and they were extremely tired. Yet she went to prepare tea for him. Instead, he was asking his wife to rest who probably just went around for an hour or two and met Alpha Murtagh. How could she be more tired than her? Kaizan was giving undue importance to Olivia and she was going to make sure that this ended… soon. Also, now she was keen on meeting Alpha Murtagh. She wanted to know what was it that went between him and Olivia because Olivia's face flickered with worry that she wasn't sharing. "Even we are very tired now," said Bernice with a sigh. "We have traveled for four days to reach Silver Vales and every muscle in my body is aching. Isn't it, Mother?"

Fuchsia nodded. Even she didn't like the proximity of her niece with Kaizan. She was thinking of ways to separate them. "I am very tired, Bernice."

Bernice looked at Olivia and asked, "Do you have good servants who can massage me body? Or is it that you don't even know about the servants in this house? The head cook was telling me that you had visited the kitchen for the first time ever since you arrived here." She scoffed at Olivia and rolled her eyes.

Olivia bit her lip once again feeling embarrassed. Why was it that the two women who were her blood relatives tried to show her down at every instance they got? It was surely because they were tired. "I have—"

"Haven't you got servants with you?" Kaizan cut off Olivia.

Bernice was expecting Olivia to say something but when Kaizan interrupted the conversation, her mouth opened in the shape of O. A moment later she stammered, "I— I h— have."

"Then why don't you ask them to massage you?" Kaizan said. "You see Olivia arrived only two days before you, so she wouldn't know much about the household."

"Oh, okay!"

"Also, you said that the soldiers who accompanied you are here in the mansion?"

"They are," Bernice said, completely flustered.

"I see," Kaizan commented. Then he turned his gaze to Olivia and said, "Come on love, you need rest. You look… exhausted." He got up from there and extended his hand for her to hold it. As soon as she held it, he pulled her up.

Fuchsia's mind became blank when she saw how Kaizan rebuked Bernice. This only meant one thing—they couldn't rebuff Olivia. She observed that the moment they snubbed her, Kaizan went all protective. So, they had to take a different approach. And for the love of God, she really wanted to see if Kaizan had marked her or not. Her eyes went to Olivia's neck and frustration rose in her chest when she couldn't see her skin. "General Kaizan!" she said, stopping the two in their tracks. They had already reached the stairs by that time.

Kaizan turned over his shoulder and frowned at her. "Yes?"

"Bernice wanted to prepare dinner for you tonight? Is it okay?" Fuchsia said. She had to keep him in the loop somehow.

Kaizan looked at Olivia as if asking for approval. Silent words were exchanged and Kaizan finally said, "Sure."

"Thank you!" Fuchsia replied with a wide smile. As Kaizan and Olivia climbed up the stairs, Fuchsia gave a triumphant smile to Bernice. "Come, let us go back to our room. You must be tired, Bernie!"

Bernice couldn't stop gazing at the back of her cousin. Kaizan had wrapped his arm across the small of her back and was guiding her upstairs, looking at her with stars in his eyes. If it wasn't for the council of the Whiteclaw pack, she would have been Kaizan's wife. Rage bubbled up in her body and she felt like screaming, but she contained herself. Fuchsia had to drag Bernice to their room.

"What the hell were you doing?" Fuchsia scolded her daughter.

Bernice crashed on the bed. Her maid was waiting for her in the room. She barked at her. "Can't you see that I am tired? Get some oil and massage me."

The maid's face blanched. Scared that she would get a lashing, she ran outside to fetch oil for her.

"What did I do?" Bernice asked with a pout. "It has only been two days more than me over here, mother. Only two days. And that Olivia thinks that she has Kaizan wrapped around her finger. I should have been there!"

"Then you have to show Kaizan that you deserve that place. But all you were focused on was how to put Olivia down!" Fuchsia retorted.

"How else are we going to point the difference between us?" Bernice whined.. "Olivia has done some kind of magic on him!" She kicked out her silk sandals with force.
