Emma woke up the next morning feeling a bit stronger than she was last night. She slowly got up and stretched her body gently. She turned towards Miles who was still fast asleep. She smiled at him and kissed his hair softly. She got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to perform her morning duties. She came out and walked out of the room. She peeked from the hallway upstairs looking downstairs. She didn't want to bump into Damien and instead wanted to shield herself and stay far away from him.Making sure he wasn't in sight at all, she slowly walked down the stairs. These two days of been here she had already knew where the kitchen was. She walked towards the kitchen and encountered the elderly maid. She gulped and slowly entered the kitchen. The elderly maid was mixing a batter when she spotted a tiny shadow emerging. She turned around and spotted her. Emma lowered her gaze and was fiddling with her dress. The elderly woman smiled and placed the whisk into the bowl and walked to
Emma calmed herself down and heaved a sigh. She also assured Miles of Damien being a nice person as not to scare him off. After convincing him to come downstairs, Emma and Miles both left the room and walked down the stairs towards the dining area.They saw Damien sitting down and crossed his arms over his chest. Emma lowered her gaze and pulled Miles towards a seat next to hers and made him sit down. Emma took the seat next to his. Damien watched them intently and a small smile crept on his face. He felt like a family man with his wife sitting close to him. He wanted her to start eating with him at the dining table herein. The dining hall was silent until Miles grabbed a spoon and started hitting the table making a loud noise. He was using that to kill time while eagerly waiting for his breakfast. Emma tried to motion him to stop but he didn't pay heed. She was scared that Damien might react and lash out at him but she then took a second glance towards him and to her surprise he was
Emma's eyes became more blurry and her brain was beginning to shut down slowly. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her lungs were getting heavier and making her body to become numb. Her grip on his tight hands were loosening. "Please leave her sir. You will kill her. You can't kill the person you claim to love sir! It's all a lie!". Sarah screamed in tears. Damien's eyes widened as life was brought back to him. His anger subsided a bit and he let go of her neck just before her life could leave her.Emma held her neck and coughed severely gasping for air. She stared at him with horrified eyes. He almost killed her. She was already feeling her spirit leaving her body a moment ago. She held the table for support and coughed once more as she filled her lungs with air making them lighter and her body beginning to function properly. Damien glared at her continuously. How dare she bring up his mother. His mother was the most sacred and most important person in his life. If not for his
A few hours had passed by and Emma was still locked up in the basement. She had cried all through the day making her eyes red and dry completely. Her screams could be heard all the way up towards the kitchen. Sarah felt pity and sadness for her. Damien had left the house hours ago and she and the rest of the other staffs were prohibited from going down to the basement to save her. Miles had asked about his sister and Sarah had to lie about Emma accompanying Damien out for work. She later tucked him to sleep so as he couldn't hear her screams. The other staffs were also worried for the poor girl and the state that she's in right now. Suddenly her screams and cries were slowing down and fading away slowly. Eventually her voice died down. Sarah became anxious and extremely worried not hearing her voice again. She feared for Emma's life and rushed towards the basement. She knew the basement hadn't been used in years and many insects and bugs were present there.She halted in her tracks a
Damien said all what he wanted to say. He turned to read her expression and it was just as how he had imagined. She was shocked and it was clearly evident in her eyes and body mannerism. She took a quick glance at him making him grinn a demonic grinn. She gulped and instantly lowered her gaze.He then went up to his room to attend to his work. He decided to do his work from home as he will be close to her and monitor her every movements. He smiled at the thought as he accelerated up the stairs leaving the two women in absolute shock.After he disappeared up the stairs, Emma turned to Sarah. "What does he mean by that Sarah? Why do I have to sleep in his room?!". She asked with panic laced along with her voice. Sarah felt bad for her. She knew exactly what Damien meant. He not only had sex with her against her will but now.. she slowly shook her head and sighed."It's nothing serious my dear. You just have to obey his orders. You know very well what will happen if you don't listen to h
"From today you are nothing more to me than my mistress". His words had crushed her severely. This man really was a horrible human. He had abused her and tortured her to no end and this was the worst of them all. He raped her and tortured her and now she was his mistress?Damien smirked sensing her and how she stopped struggling. He wanted her still and not making a fuss. If he couldn't have her the easy way, he would definitely have her the hard way which was obviously the only way he knew how.Emma couldn't bear it. Never in her life has she been brought down and insulted the way he did. Sure she had gone through a lot and often faced criticism and humiliation, but what he gave her was more than that. As a woman it shattered her pride, self respect and crushed her soul within.Damien inhaled and placed his lips on her collarbone making Emma to see red. She pushed him instantly with everything she had while fighting her tears from flowing out. Damien didn't expect her sudden action a
Damien watched Emma intently with a shocked expression. His shocked gaze turned into fierce and angry ones. He glared at her with all fury and rage. His muscles were already tensed up and his Adam apple bobbing. The old Emma would have been fearful and scoot backwards just seeing his dark gaze but today she wasn't scared anymore of him. She had enough! She had been tortured and insulted brutally by him.She slowly stood up using the bedsheet to wrap her whole body. The moment her legs touched the floor and her upper body rising up, she hissed loudly as a sharp pain shooted from deep between her legs. She nearly stumbled but held the side of the bed for support. She turned to him and glared with the same intensity as he.Damien saw her daring attitude and couldn't take it any longer. He rushed to her and grabbed her hair and fisted it hard. Her scalp was hurting terribly but Emma chose not to back out. She closed her eyes for a second and inhaled sharply before opening them and glaring
The next day Emma needed to send Miles to school as he was already running behind in his school curriculum. She got up from the bed inside the room alone. Damien wasn't around and that made her sigh in relief as she looked at the time. Shit! She rushed to Miles's room and opened the door. Miles was brushing his teeth in the bathroom under the watch of Sarah. Emma reached the bathroom and sighed in relief. She smiled and hugged Sarah from behind.Sarah gasped suddenly before she chuckled. "Good morning my dear" Sarah greeted politely. Emma smiled and hugged her tightly. "Good morning dear Sarah". Emma had already began to see Sarah as her mother. She was the only one who cared for her and sometimes saved her from Damien's wrath. She really admired her and thanked the heavens for having Sarah with her.Miles finished before getting into the shower which Sarah turned on. Miles jumped and giggled and the drops of cold water rained down his body. Emma and Sarah laughed at him. "Hurry up
