CHAPTER 19
MARIAH
It 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 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 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 ______ 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 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 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

PROLOGUE_______MariahShe 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 smal

They placed my hands in cuffs and forced me to the door pushing and prodding at me and the other unfortunate girls toward the ominous .I felt tears in my eyes as soon as we stepped inside and I saw all the women kept in cages. I wanted to turn around and run as I saw the filthy floor where poor girls were being beaten and raped and some even lying dead.I shook my head, in disbelief as I tried to run, but before I could take a single step a jolt of electricity shot through my wrist making me screaming with pain."No" I screamed as I saw the other girls also on the floor. The pain stopped as the guards stood over us with malicious smirks."Try

CHAPTER 2__________MARIAHMy new master forced me on his lap as he placed his nose to my neck, inhaling deeply."You smell delectable, slave" he said, licking the crevice of my neck. "I can't wait to taste you when we get back to the house".His large grubby hands came to my breast squeezing it tightly before he forced me to face him. His hand came to my cheek squeezing it and forcing a kiss to my lips.I found myself gagging as he pushed his tongue into my mouth, biting my lip and drawing blood."Your blood is delectable" he murmured sucking on my how bleeding lip. The carriage came to a halt and I was ever so grateful when the driver spoke out."We are here, sir".The old man sighed but stood up, making me fall to the floor."Get up, bitch. We have a meeting to attend. " he said, but didn't bother waiting for me to get up and dragged me out if the carriage. I fell to the floor with a t
