She looked back to check if she was been followed or if anyone saw her leave the castle."You have two hours before my shift ends" The guard working for Lucien had warned, but she still had to be cautious.Her movement stopped in front of an abandoned house and entered the house but not without looking back.She entered and sighted him, she removed her black cloak and bowed respectfully while the man nodded."I received your letter, you said you have something for me""Yes, my lord. But before that....." She looked at her back, hoping to see him, but her facial expression tightened not seeing the person she expected."He isn't here, you promise to bring him along next time we meet here. So why are you alone?" She asked while the man sighed."You will see him when you give me valuable information, now tell me and don't waste my time," He said harshly and Poppy bite her lower bit sorely."I apologize for my rude behaviour, I found something interesting about Simon. I think he might have
He kissed her, slowly and passionate, sucking on her lower lip, gently not obsessively or rough like their other kiss, but yet sweet. Imogen was shocked by their intimacy, first, he was angry, then cried with a weird beautiful smile, said thank you and now kissed her.She is so confused about his sudden change, but not enough for her to push him away. She won't deny that she wants nothing than for them to remain in this situation. Even if she hates him more than ever, she isn't supposed to be in this situation with him, she is to be angry at him and try her best to avoid him.But why isn't she pushing him away? She put her hand on his chest and push him sightly.Her gaze was fixed on the floor "We shouldn't be doing this, I don't want this" She said, trying not to look at him.Simon cupped her cheeks and she shivered at his touch. 'What a lie, it was obvious I want more than a kiss' She groaned at her thoughts.He raised her face to his, looking into her beautiful eyes, he want nothin
The cold breeze hit her, she inhales the fresh air and then breathed out. The feeling of freedom, even though it won't last long."This is so good" Freya giggled, jumping on her feet. To be outside of that house, her room does feel good, but she wished she never had to go to that place again or get married to the prince."No, Freya" She slapped her cheeks. "Don't think about it, just enjoy your hours of freedom" She looked back and saw her maid chatting with the cook's son Johnny. They were so engrossed with their conversation, that they had no time for her.She sighed and rolled her eyes, this was supposed to be her moment for freedom. But they have been talking since he helps them escape from her house, by hiding them in the cart.She still tried to understand them, since Johnny helped them but their talks are taking too long and she feared they might end up using all her free time if she stays with them."Bianca, we need to start going or we might spend the rest of the day here," S
She laid her back on the green grass, spreading her arms on it. Enjoying the beautiful view of the blue sky, and the soothing song of the birds.She felt so happy than she has ever been, it has been hours since she sneaked out of her house since she abandoned her maid and Johnny. And since she has been with him, the mysterious man that she's told almost everything about her, but yet knows so little about him.All he's told her is how unhappy his family is. However, it is funny how she'd quickly trusted him and smiled at his words. She found happiness in someone that she's just met today.They discussed many topics and found out they had a lot of things in common. Most importantly their love for nature.Freya feels so much more joy than she has ever felt in her nineteen years of life. She feels alive, happy, and at the same time sad.This will be the first and the last time, she would see him. If only she wasn't getting married to the prince, maybe he would have asked her hand in marri
"M'lady" Simon called surprised by Lady Gila's sudden presence, why is she here, and now of all times."Who is she? Who is this wretch?" Lady Gila said, looking at Imogen indignantly.Wretch? as much as that word annoys Simon. He has to keep his cool, he can't lose his anger with his fiancée because of his slave. That will only put Imogen in trouble, there is only one way out of this."She is my slave," Simon answered and Imogen bowed her head for Gila as is custom ."Why is she here with you? What is she doing here, My lord?" A slave going out with her master is nothing new, but a slave that causes a dispute between two nobles is a weed that needs to be removed.Imogen and Gila looked at Simon, waiting for his answer. Imogen already regrets ever coming here and is also angry at Edward for holding her hand.That's how she found herself in this ridiculous situation, she knows her life is in danger. What if his fiancée gets angry, and ask him to kill her? Her mind is in disarray."I don
"There is a more important issue at hand... Lucien knows about your marriage, and I believe he orchestrates a sinister plan, their target might be you or your future wife Freya.." Simon reported and the strict expression on George's face dropped immediately, replaced with fear then anger."That bastard, if he dares to hurt her. No, I have to go to her," He said and attempts to leave the room but Simon blocks his way.He looked at George confused, but he could sense and see the fear in his eyes. What Simon didn't understand was why George would be scared for Freya. What does that even mean? he supposed it doesn't matter right now."Get out of my way" George scowled displeased."I can't, your highness. If you go to her now, you will only endanger her life. For Lucien to know about the wedding, means he has a spy amongst us. And going there will let Lucien know we are onto him""I don't care, I will take Freya out of there tonight and have her stay with me in the palace""Then the people
Carter made his way to the slave's quarters, moving as fast as he could. He feared that Aria might be worried about her friend, she would think that Imogen is in danger.He is going to save her that stress, and even get a chance to see her. It has been a long time since he last saw her or had the chance to talk to her.'Hopefully, tonight might be different' He thought with a hint of doubt.Just as he had thought, Aria was on her way to the master's quarters, when she saw him she ran towards him.She almost tripped on her feet, but Carter managed to save her from falling."Imogen..." She stared at him with teary eyes, worried about her friend.She was concerned that the master called her to punish her again."I know..." Carter answered before she finished her statement."Did he call to punish? where is she??""She is safe. He didn't call to punish her, don't worry so much," He said patting Aria's hair, while she sighed relieved."Then why did he call for her?"His hand stopped on her
The horse came to a halt, he got down from the horse and his servant took the horse away to the stable.His gaze followed the horse and his servant, then back to the mansion in front of him. He took a deep breath.Finally, he is here at the house he loathes with his all. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to make a decision then opened them when he was done thinking.He took his step toward it, the door opened when he got to the door and the first person he encounter made his heart pound fast."Welcome back, young master Edward" The head of their maids greeted him, behind her was his mother and his older brother also the first child Charles."Thank Katherine, mother?" He called like he was asking for her permission.His mother gave him a disgusting look before she spoke "I thought you were never coming back, after all the trouble you gave us when you left...""I never wanted to return, but I have to for Freya. I am sorry if I offended you by returning, mother" He apologized since
