Chapter 8

Lucius's eyes widened at what he saw. It took everything to not go and punch that boy straight in the face. As much as he knew his sister she didn't love him , and if he forced her , Lucius didn't join the death eater to play.

Thomas quickly corrected his posture, he knew it would be stupid to upset Lucius, he was a member of the inner circle of the Dark Lord and this was one of the reasons he was marrying Adeline.

If Adeline could do one thing right then , she would have ran straight to her brother's arms. It was not like no one ever flirted with her , but Avery scared her , scared her that the moment girls get dreams about would become her nightmare.

" So umm I am getting late , see you two later " , Thomas winked at Adeline as he passed through the gates.

The moment he was gone she rushed to her brother's arms, the fear still not leaving her mind . Lucius wrapped his arms around his sister's torso and felt her tears falling on his shirt. If given a chance he would keep her in a place where no harm could touch her, she was precious but he was afraid.

" I..I di.. didn't liked th..that brother " she said in between the sobs .

Lucius wrapped her strongly as he said ," Don't worry dearest, I am here now , no one would hurt you now " , he internally flinched as he said this , he was there when their father would cruciate her , he was there when mother punished her , and he was never able to protect his sister and still he made these promises , promises he knew he couldn't fulfill.

But Adeline believed him , she believed him every time he said that he would protect her , she knew her brother was a lot more than he shows and so she trusted him with her life.

Probably that would be her downfalls, but we never know.

Adeline got up and went to the washroom, washed her face and came out with a smiling face.

Lucius loved this , how his sister would always believe that darkness is followed by light , how she would prepare herself for the pain by thinking of the joy that will come after that pain.
He knew as much as he tried, he would never be as strong as her.

" So brother , I wondered if I should keep this or not " , she turned towards him with a party gown in her hands .

" Keep it , there are parties sometimes " , he shot her a smile .

" Oh good ", she bent over her trunk .
