Gritting her teeth, she watched him serve food into two plates. A large portion in one and relatively smaller in the other, which must be for her. The food in her plate was much more than what she usually ate.

“Eat,” he ordered. “I want you to finish all of it. You have lost weight.”

Her face burned, and he noticed she had lost weight and some of her curves had reduced in the past one and a half months. Her hips were slimmer, and her stomach had flattened a little more.

She wanted to refuse his order, but knowing the savage bastard, he would enjoy force-feeding her. Sucking in a deep breath, she began to eat.

Despite her anger, she enjoyed the delicious meal. There was a chicken dish. She had mentioned to the Kabali women a few days ago that she ate chicken and seafood. She was touched that they managed to bring a chicken from outside the encampment and cook for her.

“When will I get to see my family?” she demanded.

He watched her as he ate but didn’t respond to her question.

“Even if I keep my promise, I want to see my family. I need to let them know I am all right. They must be thinking that I’m dead!”

“You will keep your promise,” he stated. “And your family knows you are doing fine.”

“How?” she demanded.

“Because they know that if I kill you, it wouldn’t solve my purpose.”

“You mean the purpose of claiming my inheritance?” she asked. “What if my family refuses? What if they say they won’t give you any ransom unless you let me go?”

He watched her. “Then I’ll keep you with me for the sheer joy of your soothing presence.”

Her face flushed.

Sarcastic demon.

The rest of the meal continued in tense silence. She began to get nervous when they finished their dessert.

The demon watched her with a heated gaze.

She knew he was going to demand she keep her promise. He would also touch her, kiss her, and do all the things he had done the previous night.

Her stomach quivered, and her skin broke into goosebumps.

“My periods have started this morning,” she said, using the only excuse she could think of right then. “You can’t touch me tonight. I will keep my promise after a few days.”

His mouth twisted darkly. “It’s good to know you aren’t carrying your boyfriend’s child,” he said.

Her face flushed angrily at his reminder of the lie she had told him days after the wedding.

“Well, yes. But since my period—”

“Even if you weren’t lying, which you always do, your blood won’t bother me.”

“You savage!” she yelled. “I will not let you—”

With an impatient sigh, he got up and picked her up. He then dropped her on the bedding and joined next to her. She gasped and was about to get up, but he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

His large palm cupped her breast possessively, and his arousal dug into her buttocks.

“Sleep,” he commanded.

She froze.

“But you said… I should… you would…” her voice faded, not wanting to remind him of her promise.
