Chapter 5

The soldiers led Violet to the maids' bathroom. It was Lucian who ordered them to take her to that room so she could clean herself.

“Violet, are you all right?” Esther asked worriedly when they were standing at the bathroom door. Not a single word came out of Violet's mouth, only tears dripped from her sad eyes.

“We leave her to you,” one soldier said into Esther's eyes. She nodded at him before those soldiers left the room.

Esther sighed sadly inside seeing Violet's pale face, her uniform and her body were dirty and smelly. “You should take a bath now and change your clothes,” Esther said. Then she took Violet's arm and led her into the bathroom.

Violet had finished bathing and changed into her uniform. The beautiful flower has become as beautiful as it should be.

Esther smiled warmly at Violet, who was standing in front of her. “Let's have breakfast now. You must be hungry,” she said. Violet shook her head. “I'm not hungry.”

Esther sighed with concern. “You must eat now. After that you must do your work or Princess Selina will punish you again.”

Esther's words made Violet think back to what she had told herself. For the sake of her beloved mother, she must stay alive and be strong no matter what happens to her.

Esther smiled with relief when she saw Violet nod at her. “Let's go then,” Esther said as she took Violet's arm and led her to breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Esther took Violet to the garden behind the palace. Violet gazed at the garden in admiration. This garden is so beautiful, with all kinds of flowers filling the entire garden, reminding her of the garden in her palace.

“This garden is so beautiful, isn't it?” 

Violet turned to Esther, who was standing next to her, and gave her a nod. “Prince Lucian told me that from now on, you and I will work on taking care of this garden,” said Esther.

Violet felt relieved because she enjoyed taking care of the garden. She thought that Lucian would give her jobs she had never done before. She was afraid that she would make a mistake, and he would gladly punish her.

“Let's get started,” said Esther. “Hm,” Violet replied with a nod. They both then took the scissors and started cutting the stems of the roses that were growing wild.

The sun had set when Violet was sitting on the bed in the attic. The sadness that took over her made tears fall from her beautiful blue eyes. She kept telling herself that everything that had happened was not a nightmare, but a reality. A cruel fate had separated her from her father, her mother, and all those she loved and made her a slave to the beasts.

She turned to the door of the room in startled when someone knocked on it. Her heart was racing as she wondered who was behind the door. She wiped the tears off her cheeks as she braced herself. She stood up from the bed and walked over to the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Albert standing before her with a warm smile on his face, which made her feel relieved. They both had met before when he brought her food. It was Lucian who told Albert to do that.

“Good evening,” Albert greeted, “Prince Lucian wants you to see him now.” Violet's heart suddenly started racing again. “May I ask why he wants to see me?” she asked with both fear and curiosity in her eyes.

Albert answered her question with just a smile. “Please come with me now,” he said and took a step. Violet could do nothing but obey. She then forced her legs to walk, following Albert from behind.

They stopped their steps when they were in front of the door of a room. “Prince Lucian is waiting for you inside,” Albert said, and opened the door.

Violet walked into the room with her heart racing. Albert then closed the door and left the room. She suddenly felt amazed when she looked into the room because this room was so beautiful and majestic in Victorian style.

Fear suddenly gripped her firmly, making her stop her steps, when she saw Lucian was in the pool in the middle of the room. He was leaning his back against the wall from the edge of the pool with his eyes fixed on hers.

“Come here. I want you to massage me,” Lucian said in a gentle tone.

Violet's heart beat even faster and faster as she breathed nervously. She was so afraid of him it made her body freeze.

“Don't make me say twice. I will punish you if you disobey me.”

Seeing his domineering eyes and hearing his threatening voice scared her to death. She didn't dare go against his orders, but obeyed. She then forced her legs to walk closer to the edge of the pool.

She stopped her steps as she held her breath in surprise and immediately looked away when she saw he was wearing nothing. He laughed softly, seeing her cheeks that were red as red as a boiled crab. His face then changed focus. “Take off your clothes now and get in into the pool.”

She looked into his face when she heard his raspy voice. She saw his domineering eyes gripping hers again, making her helpless due to fear. 

She then took off her uniform, her bra, and her panties while holding back her embarrassment. Her body shivered as a gust of cold air touched her naked skin.

His eyes shone with passion as he admired her beautiful naked body from head to toe. Her breasts were so beautiful that he wanted so badly to touch, squeeze, and taste her pink nipples. The curve of her body looked firm and sweet, no hard angled or straight lines anywhere... nothing but inviting, sensual softness.

His heart was beating fast; his breath became heavy. He felt lust and desire take over his mind and body, making him crave to fuck her.

He had slept with many noble beauties, but he had never felt this kind of feeling before. He only used them for sex.

She got into the pool and walked over to him. She stopped her steps as she stood before him. She didn't dare to look him in the eyes and she was too embarrassed to look down because she could see his cock, so she kept her eyes shut.

She gasped as she opened her eyes as he pulled her body against his, making her heart beat uncontrollably. His eyes met hers and held her gaze. “Tell me what made you wet?” he asked in a raspy voice.

He confused her by asking such a question. “Water?” she said innocently. 

He suppressed a smile as he heard her answer. His face then changed focus again, and he said, “I think no one has ever asked you that before.” She said nothing, but her innocent face told him everything.

“I'll teach you what I mean.” He tucked his hand behind her neck and kissed her lips in a passionate kiss. Her eyes were wide open as her body froze. Never had a man kissed her before. He had taken her first kiss.

“Ahh...” a moan escaped her mouth as he kissed and nibbled her neck. She felt her body shiver, but this time not from fear but from pleasure. She didn't understand what had happened to her. She was so afraid of him, but her body was enjoying his touch.

Her mind then snapped at her not to let him enjoy her body. “No! Please stop...” she said breathlessly, as she pushed his chest with his hands.

He pulled her body against his, holding her firmly with his domineering eyes fixed on hers. “Don’t move! I already told you I will punish you if you disobey me,” he said with a heavy breath.

She stifled her moans, biting her lips as his hands squeezed her breasts while his mouth played with her nipples. He then moved his right hand between her thighs as he kept licking, sucking her nipples.

“Ahh...” a moan escaped her mouth as his fingers touched her clit moving up, down, and in a circle, gently, slowly.

Waves of pleasure surged through her body, made her whole body clench. She felt her pussy soaking wet. She now understood what his question meant.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. She immediately pushed his chest with her hands, releasing herself from his grip. They both breathed heavily while holding back their lust.

She could see the anger in his eyes. He was like an angry lion that was disturbed while he was enjoying his prey.

“What is it?!” he asked, raising his voice.

“Young master, your uncle is waiting for you in his room. He wants to see you now,” Albert said from behind the door.

“Tell him I'll be right there.”

“Yes, young master.”

Albert then left the room, according to what Lucian had told him.

Violet's heart was beating uncontrollably as Lucian walked over and grabbed her face with his domineering eyes fixed on hers. “You are mine. You’ll do what I say. Be afraid of me. Be afraid of what I’ll do if you don’t obey me,” he said in a deep voice.

Violet stared at him in fear. His gaze and his words frightened her. She felt so helpless. She was like a little rabbit in the clutches of a savage lion.

He smiled with a satisfied expression, seeing her fear and helplessness. He then walked away from her, got out of the pool, put on his clothes and left the room, leaving her who was struggling to calm her rapid heartbeat.
