- Lucian -

"Ashina is dead and gone. I know you are a very powerful man, but there is nothing you can do to bring her back to life, and definitely, keeping her pictures will do no good either. It only reminds you of the past and that is why you are not able to move on. So take them away."

"Stacy this has nothing to do with Ashina. I understand your need, but are you asking me to do away with her pictures? Come on. It's not even up to a month that she died," I stated but she was not listening to me.

"You'll still have to move on no matter how long it is going to take and I will have to wait for you till then. This marriage will suffer if that happens. And if you insist, then I have no choice but to believe that you only married me to cover your shameful acts, and I will walk out of this marriage.”

I chuckled inwardly. Sometimes, Stacy thinks she can get to me with the emotional blackmail, and deep down, I want her to know I am not a bit moved by her words. If anything, I am doing everything because she is the only sister of the woman I love and I am doing it all for Ashina.

No woman will be able to talk me into this. Ashina was the only one I listened to, and did whatever she wanted. Stacy is just enjoying that benefit. Blackmailing me using the incident of that night is the most lame thing to do.

If not with regard to Ashina, I will do whatever I want.

"If that is what makes you happy," I finally said. "I'll have the frames removed by tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, honey," Stacy beamed with a smile and leaned forward for a kiss, but I walked away.

- Ashina -

I placed a hand on my chest in a bit to steady myself, my legs feeling wobbly. I did think that there was a misunderstanding somewhere, I hoped. And I believed all I needed to do was meet Lucian and tell him that I was still alive.

But after listening to the conversation between the two, I couldn't believe my ears. I tried making meaning out of the words but everything I heard was terribly unpleasant.

It brought more questions to my heart. Was Lucian secretly sleeping with Stacy before my death? Were they seeing each other? Is he really going to take my pictures away just to please her?

It means...it means he never loved me. Lucian never loved me. A few weeks after my death he does not mind doing away with my pictures. Hell, what was I thinking? He got married to my sister shortly after I died, how much more of getting rid of my pictures?

What is the point of telling him who I am? It wouldn't change anything since he never loved me. I was better off dead to give him room with Stacy after all. I made up my mind there and then. I will never let them know who I really am till I get my revenge.

I wiped the tears off my face. Lucian is not worth my love and definitely not my tears.

I heard noises, and saw the light ahead, coming towards me. I forced my jelly legs away so I wouldn't be found at his door. Because I had no light with me, I tripped in the darkness, colliding with something and making so much noise that immediately drew attention towards me.

"Who's there?" I heard a loud voice asked. I did not wait. I ran away, trying to find a safe place. Unfortunately, it seemed all the guards were on my trail and I couldn't get away despite running into different corners to escape them.

They speculated there was a thief and not long after, I was caught.

"Say, isn't that the new slave who was brought in earlier today?" Of them said after they had grounded me and thrown the lights to my face, blinding me.

"It is she, I am surprised," another replied with some contempt in his voice.

"We must take her to Lord Gizmo at once. He should know what best to do with her."

"No! No please," I pleaded desperately. "Please don't take me to him. I beg of you. I do not steal. Please."

But they were not listening to me.

Gizmo was very mad at the disturbance as he had retired to bed.

"What is this?" He asked the guards with a deep frown on his face.

"We are sorry for disturbing you, my Lord," one of them said with a light bow. "But we caught the new maid trying to steal in the royal chambers."

Gizmo's fiery eyes fell on me and I shook my head.

"I wasn't there to steal, please. I'm not a thief."

"What are doing in the palace and by this time?" Gizmo's voice came off cold. "You were told a few hours ago that you are not to come here unless you were sent for, so what are you doing here."

I did not know what to say, couldn't tell him why I was there. My silence seemed to fuel Gizmo's anger and he turned to the guards.

"Take her to the dark room."

"No!" I cried with fright, already knowing what that meant. "I'm sorry, please. I'm not a thief, I promise."

I was stripped off my shirt to the waist, save for my inner wear covering my chest, and my hands were tied up with a robe.

Gizmo walked in shortly after and he was given a long whip. He walked towards me with a hard look on his face.

"What were you doing here?" He asked as he approached me. "I hate when I ask a question and you're looking at me like a BITCH!"

The last word came out with the force of the whip landing on my bare back and I screamed. He did not stop, and with each next hit that followed, it seemed he was applying more force.

He did not look like he was going to stop anytime soon and I was sure my skin would have peeled up by the time he was done with me.

I closed my eyes and cried through the pain.

"Stop!"

The voice I knew so well and could never mistake for another, sounded in my ears and Lucian appeared at the door.

    - Ashina -"Hey girl", Stacy chanted gingerly as she walked into the room and stopped dead in her tracks with a look of shock on her face. "Oh my goodness! Where'd you get all these from?""Where else would I have gotten them from?" I laughed at the expression on her face. She walked fully into the room and began picking the clothes and accessories from the bed and boxes, looking them over."Wow!" She exclaimed. "They are very expensive, everything here is made of gold and precious stones even..." She picked up a necklace and continued. "Even diamonds? What are all these for? Are we going to appease a goddess or something?"I laughed again."No, we are not. All these are for me.""Really?" Ashina's eyes widened."Yeah," I said with a big smile on my face. "They are from Lucian. He bought them as gifts for me towards our wedding.""Wow!" She exclaimed again. "But all these? This is really much. Did you know how much he spent on all these?""I know, right?" I sighed. "I mean, I can only

    - Ashina -Ann's expression carried a suspicious question as she approached me, seeing that I was looking at Lucian and Stacy."What are you saying, standing there and looking at the Alpha and Luna?" She asked with a raised brow and I winced inwardly, thinking she heard me."You wish that were you, huh?" She chuckled, nudging me playfully and I let out a sigh of relief. I thought for a moment she had heard exactly what I said because there was no way I could escape explaining that to her, and I couldn't."Oh the King and Queen look so good together," she placed her hands on her chest, looking at them with admiration. "I wish I were a princess too, you know, and I had my prince charming. But some of us are not so lucky. Imagine, I had to be a maid of all things. Why didn't the goddess give me something better? Like, I should at least have been born to a noble or wealthy family, at least, like the gammas."I barely listened to what she was saying as my eyes could not look away from Lucia

  • Reincarnated as a Slave (His broken Luna)   Chapter 10

    -Ashina -Stacy was walking with graceful and majestic steps towards me, and two maids were behind her. She was looking good and dressed in expensive regiments. I recognised the particular one she was putting on.It was one of these that Lucian had gotten for me as a present, which I had kept to wear when I eventually got married.I believed they were clothes meant for a Luna. I did not get to wear them because I did not live long enough to become Luna.But Stacy got them now because she's married to the Alpha. Memories of how she had poisoned me to death came flashing back.We had grown up loving each other so much but the incident broke everything. Anger writhed within me."Excuse me?" Her sharp voice broke into my thoughts and I shook a little. "Do you have a problem?"She had stopped right before me, and the looks on their face told me they must have been standing a little longer, perhaps trying to get my attention, but I was lost in my thoughts."N...no, my lady," I stuttered and

    Chapter 9- Ashina -Blood spurted out of my nose, and I bruised my shoulder when I fell. Ann ran to me and helped me up.Becca and her friends looked down as Damon stared at them with a hard frown on his face."What is this?" He asked them and turned particularly to Becca who had pushed me. "What did you do that for?""I did not mean to, but she pushed me first," Becca lied, and I did not put anything to my defence. Probably because I was still taken aback by the fact that I could not defend myself."And so you react that way? You've caused an injury to her," Damon said, looking at me briefly. "I expect better from you. You have been in this palace long enough and you are a royal attendant. What business do you have with her?"To that, Becca did not reply."I hope this does not repeat itself again because if it does, you will be punished greatly as this is not expected from you," Damon said. Loretta, who had stood behind Becca all this while, suddenly spoke."But are you going to war

    Chapter 8- Ashina -"What did you do to Lord Gizmo?" Ann asked me and I sighed."Nothing that I know of," I told her and she shook her head."How so?" She did not believe me. "There's no way he'd just punish you when you did not do anything.""I really don't understand myself," I insisted. There was a reason for the punishment, of course, but I could not tell her since I had been warned to stay away from the palace, and she warned me too.I cannot tell her I was there to see things for myself regarding Lucian and Stacy, and that would only mean I am a thief because there would be no other excuses I could give for going there."Mm," Ann hummed. "Well, you just be careful because you just arrived not long ago. I must warn you, you cannot afford for Gizmo to keep an eye on you. I, for one, try everything possible to avoid him. He's not in any way friendly.""Yeah sure," I smiled lightly. "Thanks for the counsel."She rolled her eyes at that."Now since you don't have anything tangible t

    Chapter 7- Gizmo -I growled angrily as I returned to my room. I hate it when Lucian tries to meddle in my affairs and make it obvious he has authority over me and there is nothing I can do.Why doesn't he just stay in his lane and leave me alone? But most times he is not always like this. He barely says anything about my actions and decisions, except that they affect him or it's really serious.What does he care about a mere maid?
