I hurry out to the stables trudging through the snow with the cold air biting my face. I reach out and open the large doors stepping into the warmth within. I take a few more steps inside, my eyes becoming accustomed to the gloom, when suddenly an arm grabs me from behind, pulling be back into a firm chest. I scream and spin round, looking up I'm met with two shining eyes glinting with mischief.
"WILLIAM, you fool, you scared the life out of me!"
My beau only chuckles in amusement,
"We'll with the sight of your latest victim I reckon it's me that should be scared of you."
My only response is to reach in and embrace him tightly. " I love you, you know" I breath in his ear.
" Yes Bella I do" he whispers back and places a loving kiss on my lips. " I love you so bloody much" another longer more forceful kiss. I pull away slightly,
"William..." I scold. But he cuts me off pressing he lips to mine again. "Please Bella run away with me, we can escape this and just elope together, just the two of us. Please"
"William you know we can't we've discussed this..."
" But why not Bella I know you want to as much as I do."
"BEACAUSE WE CAN'T!" I snap. He looks at me shocked, I let out a shaky breath and the tears well up in my eyes. " We just have to stick with the plan and everything will be alright" I choke out, I'm actually crying now.
I bury my face in his chest "I know it's hard," I sob' "but we can get through this, in 8 months I will be of legal age to inherit the estate, all we need to do is kill off my which of a mother and bumbling fool of a father and there will be nothing stopping us" I look up at his handsome face, deep into the dark chocolate pools of his eyes. He gives me a reassuring grin. "It's ok Bella, I'm sorry. We can do this together." I nod.
"However darling I have no idea what we are going to do with the body this time," he shakes his head, "as somebody got a bit kill happy and turned into a manic with the knife." He gave me a very pointed look.
" I'm sorry I just got a tad carried away." I give him an apologetic look hiding my smile.
"Well I think the only thing we can do is try and pass it of as a wild dog attack thought the huge knife wounds are a bit of a give away." Again another pointed look and I cringe slightly under his glare.
" I could go back and make it look more realistic?"I suggest But his face breaks into a smile and he replies
"Don't worry my angel, I'll sort it out. You just go back to your parents and say you cannot find him...oh what was his name?"
" Philip"
" Tell them you couldn't find Philip and I'll stumble across his body in a few hours. How's about that darling?"
"Perfect" I reply. He leans down for one final passionate kiss before I brave the cold agin and head back to the manor.
