Mariah
She waited silently in my bedroom for her father to call her in. But she knew what was happening already. Her family was poor and in desperate need of money and her father was too weak to earn enough from just selling the fruits and vegetables alone. They needed money. She had 4 siblings, excluding herself, and they needed to be educated, clothed and fed.She didn't blame my father... she could never blame him. She knew deep down that if he had any other option he would have taken it. But he didn't.
Her eyes clouded with tears as she heard the knock on her door. She took a deep breath, picked up her bags before she opened the door. Her father stood there with a sad look in his eyes and she knew he blamed himself for not being able to provide for his family. She shook her head and gave him a small smile mumbling softly " It's okay. I understand".
He shook his head and pulled her in for a hug. She let him hug her and enjoyed the warmth of his fatherly embrace, knowing it would be a while before she had one again. Her mother stood a little further back with her 3 brothers and sister. They were still so young. Her brother Leo being the second oldest at 12, understood what was happening, she could tell he was angry."Don't be sad. This is only for now" she told them with a smile before walking out of the small home and following the large man to the carriage. She looked back one last time at her home and promised herself she would come back... one day. She got into the carriage and journeyed to the castle, her fate sealed as she watched her old home disappear into the horizon. It was only then that she noticed all the other young girls beside her in the carriage, some with tears in their eyes other just staring grimly out the small window and into the sky.Mariah felt bad for them. It looked as if their parents has sold them too, but they didn't seem too willing. One of them met her eye and she instantly felt afraid, where was the carriage going to? Who had she been sold to?----- ▪︎ ----- ▪︎ -----
Eljah threw the lifeless body of his stepmother at his father's feet, his jaw clenched with anger. His fathers eyes widened in fear and pain as he stared down at the body of his wife and unborn child. " H-how could you?" his father asked his eyes pooling with tears. Elijah titled his head to the side and gave his father a hard glare."I warned you". Elijah said pushing his father against the wall and wrapping his hand around his neck."I told you what would happen if you had another child... but you didn't listen. And this is your punishment". Elijah said pointing to the whore's body. "But don't fear, you'll be joining her soon".He said with a sadistic smile before he plunged his hand into his fathers chest and pulled out his still beating heart.He heard the small sob from the corner of the room and looked to see his half sister standing over her mother's body. He signalled for one of the maids to come and fetch her before he turned and took slow careful steps toward his throne. He heard the quick paced footsteps of the butler as the doors to throne room opened. The butler looked down at the now dead body of his old king and then looked up into the eyes of his new one."Your highness" the butler bowed as Elijah turned to face him.Elijah took slow careful steps toward the stone and paused slightly in front of it before taking his seat. "Tell the council that my father has passed, tell them he had a heart attack and the medics could not get to him quick enough. His heart stopped beating and because of his previous battles, it wasn't able to restart."The butler nodded his head swiftly. "Of course, your highness."The butler then turned around and left, leaving the new king on his own in the throne room.Elijah vowed then and there to lead his country to greatness and surpass even his father as the King of all King's. He got up and stopped in front of his fathers body. He took the crown off his head, whipping off the blood before he walked out of the room with a small smile on his face.He was the new King, and he would rule with power and fearLatest chapter

Chapter 24_______Third person Point of ViewMariah woke up again to her body being lifted up gently. She opened her eyes and saw that she was near a river."We are just stopping for a rest. There is another 2 days journey before we reach Venice." The merchanter said."Why are we going to Venice?" Mariah asked timidly and the merchanter almost felt sorry for the little girl. She was clearly still young."what's your name, little one?" The merchanter asked her. He did not seem like a bad guy and Mariah was hopeful that he would send her back. Although she was not on good terms with the king, at least she was safe with him."My name is Mariah Castello...."The merchanter hummed quietly in acknowledgment before quickly setting to work on making a fire. He would have to stop for some supplies in a nearby village before he could continue with his journey. He bent down by the rivers bend and filled up

Chapter 23________Third povIt felt like she was floating, floating amidst the clouds on a peaceful and colourful day. She felt so happy. She looked around her and saw nothing but the blue of the sky and the white of the fluffy balls around her. She was in the sky. The sun was not shining brightly and she could see perfectly and everything was warm.Unable to stop herself, Mariah began to laugh hysterically. She was now a cloud, flying and floating and free. She felt so content.But in the next second, it felt like she was being ripped from the sky and forced down to the Earth again. She was disorientated by the whiplash motion of being tugged viciously from her peaceful cloud back to the hell that was Earth. The impact was brutal. She felt every single second of the collision and she opened her eyes groggily yet unable to actually move.She felt stiff, as if she were a statue instead of a human. She laid still and silent as the tear

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟎 ______ 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐃 𝐏𝐎𝐕 Over the next few days Mariah did little else but wonder the halls of the castle. The King had left on a short one day business trip with Jessebelle and would be back in the night time. Mariah had a sour look on her face all morning after the King had informed her. She wished she could control her jealous thoughts, but she couldn't. She just felt angry and upset. She was foolish to let herself believe that after her last intimate moment with the King he would be more attentive with her, she was ofcourse wrong. He had went back to his ways of ignoring her presence and only caring that she was close enough for him to sense her. That was all he wanted, to ensure she was safe. While walking through the fifth floor, she was not watching her surroundings or taking in where she was or where she was going, causing her to bump into someone. She fell back on her butt and looked up w

CHAPTER 21 MARIAH The days became monotnous and repetitive as the King prepared for the official announcement of his engagement to the Princess, Jessabelle. After previous encounter with the Princess our paths never crossed again, mostly due to the fact that I now chose to reside in the comfort of either my room or the Kings... but that does not mean that I don't feel her heated and hateful glare from across the table every dinner time, as if I had done something to offend her. Lylah had been sent away to her boarding school, where she would stay for a short 2 weeks before coming back to the castle to continue with her private studies. I was not sure why the King had sent her away in the first place but she was more than happy ot get out of the castle for a little while, but only after making me promise to keep her kitten, Winter, safe. As if Lylah being gone was not bad enough, I found out a few

CHAPTER 20 _____ MARIAH The princess was more beautiful than i could have thought possible. I sat quietly at the breakfast table somewhere near the middle while the King sat at the head with the princess by his side. I was offered the seat to his other side, but how could I take it? How could I willingly sit there knowing what people would think of me? It was humiliating to say the least. I kept my head down and did not bother paying attention to the chatter around me, focusing solely on playing with the food in front of me. I was uncomfortbale and I could not shake the awful feeling that lingered and festered in my gut. The terrible feeling only grew the more the King spoke to his future wife. She was kind. When the King greeted her at the door with me by his side, she smiled and greeted me kindly but I could not muster the same enthusiasm to meet her. The King could sense my resignantion and try to ask me if i was okay, but how could

CHAPTER 19MARIAHIt was a few hours before the King finally came to the room and when he did I could feel the anger raditating off of him. I gasped with fear as I saw the blood staining his hands and clothes but he said nothing to me as he walked past heading for the bathroom.I gulped in fear unable to look away from the bathroom door for the longest time. I was worried. Why was he angry? Where had the blood come from? What did the councilman say that had made him so upset? All these questions continued to whirl through my head until eventually the door opened and the King walked out."Mariah" he said slowly as if trying to find a way to formulate the words in his mind. " What happened?" I asked him, the uneasy feeling back and stronger than ever. What would happen to me if the King married another woman? Even the mere though caused a great ache in my chest, my heart breaking in t

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 18𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐇I moaned as the King continued to pleasure me, feeling myself coming close and closer to my orgasm. The King growled lowly, creating small vibrations against my clit. My breathing became shorter and I couldn't contain my myself as my moans became louder. JustJust as I felt reach my peak, the King pulled away spanking me again. Tears of frustration filled my eyes as I looked up at him in shock. He smirked down at me pressing a kiss against the small of my back."Go to your room and change, my love." he commanded me lowly but I could hardly hear his words over my surprise. The intense feeling was still present in my core and all I wanted to do was touch myself.As if reading my mind, the King warned "Don't you dare touch yourself, Mariah". I gulped and nodded slowly, looking at him with sad eyes as I stood to my feet. The King watched as I quickly left his office and walked down the steps

CHAPTER 17__________ELIJAHMy mind was reeling after leaving Mariah asleep in our room. It was all happening so quickly yet not quickly enough at the same time. I had come to accept that Mariah was my mate, it was impossible to deny now, especially after last night.I walked through the hallways of the castle to my office where Aldridge already stood to attention waiting patiently. "Good morning, my lord. " he said, bowing as I walked past. I nodded in reply before pushing open the office door and moving to sit in my seat, Aldridge stood waiting on the opposite end of the desk."You have 2 meetings today, my lord as well as a few documnets regarding the education plan for the children over the next few years. " he informed placing the documents on my table but before he could continue I raised my hand, silencing him."She is my soul mate, Aldridge" I said simply knowing he would understand. Aldridge seemed surprised for a second befor

Chapter 16_______MariahI groaned as I stretched out across the soft bed, my body aching. My eyes fluttered open and I sitffled a yawn as I tried to turn my body around, but couldn't move. The King's arms were wrapped around my body protectively, holding me tightly to his chest as he slept.I blushed, my cheeks burning brightly as memories of last night flooded back. All I could think about was the feeling, it was indescribable pleasure. I smiled brightly, energy seeming to course through me as I tried to turn to face the King, Elijah. I gasped in surprised as I saw his dark green eyes already staring down at me.He stared at me with no expression, but his eyes spoke volumes. Adoration swam through them as I smiled up at him. "Good morning, my King" I said softly leaning my head against his chest. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to my neck, making me moan soflty as his tongue brushed over his mark."Good morning, little one
