CHAPTER 4
(Elisa's POV) It had only been a week since the envoys visited but I was already being asked to move into the Greyhound's estate to assist in wedding preparations. I didn't even get to bid my father a proper goodbye before I was whisked away by the drive. Upon arrival I was greeted and received by the estate's staffs, not a single family member in sight. I was silently ushered in by the maids. I tried making conversation. “So…where are all the family members?” But my attempt was met with hostile glares and more silence. After being settled in my room I decided to give myself a tour of the estate since no one offered. Just as I had made my way to the west wing, voices erupted causing me to seek the source of the commotion only to find Mr Greyhound yelling at Damian whilst he laid in bed, disheveled with an unfamiliar woman by his side. I didn't notice when my lips move on impulse. “Disgusting” I voiced, my voice louder than intended. All eyes turned to me in shock as they hadn't anticipated my arrival. “Elisa!” Damian called out from the comfort of another woman's arms, his lips smudged with kiss marks. “What are you doing here?” His asked with a guilty expression on his face. “It's not what you think…I” “SHUT UP!!!” Mr Greyhound interrupted before turning to me with dissatisfaction written all over his face. “Didn't your father ever teach you not to but into other people's business? Don't involve yourself in matters that don't concern you. Now leave” he commanded, shoving me out the door, leaving no room for resistance as he slammed the door right in my face. I stormed off in annoyance. “Despicable!!!” I screamed internally as I violently kicked an inbuilt bookshelf that seemed carelessly tucked away by the end of a dark hallway. Before I could even backtrack and understand how I had gotten here, a crick echoed across the hallway as the bookshelf opened up, revealing a secret passage hidden within the walls. My curiosity took root as I stepped into the passage, the door slamming shut behind me. I had only taken a few steps when I was ambushed by a group of maids. “You're the new girl sent by madam Chasity right?” Before I could even respond and clarify the misunderstanding, I was dragged along with them as we approached a strange door within the passage. She took out a rusted key, unlocking the door and shoving me inside. “Remember, success in pleasing the young master will be rewarded but his dissatisfaction could cost you your life” and just like that, she left. I had been abandoned in a pitch black room without a single explanation, or instructions on what to do next. I stumbled my way through the room, barely able to see anything. I stubbed my toe on the bedframe causing me to stumbled backwards, unknowingly bumping into what felt like a man's chest. “Who are you?” I questioned, readying myself to attack. “So you're the new girl Chasity sent? Is that right?” He voiced, grabbing me by the waist, pulling us closer together. “Sir, there seems to have been a misunderstanding, I'm not…” “Shuuu, be quiet” he interrupted as his hands roamed freely around my body, caressing my curves as he spun me around, burying his face in the crook of my neck, pressing his chest against my back whilst still holding me tightly, gently fondling my breasts. “You have a nice figure” he whispered softly in my ear as gentle kisses followed suite, trailing down my neck. Without changing our position, he reached forward and claimed my lips in a deep kiss that left my knees weak. “Wait, stop” I spoke, abruptly ending the kiss. “I'm really not the girl you're…” I paused as his next words escaped his mouth in form of an order. “Get on your knees” he commanded, gradually undressing himself as he pulled off his belt, forcing me to my knees as he rapped the leather belt loosely around my neck. “Go on” he urged, tugging roughly at the belt, waiting expectantly for me to take the next step. Feeling hesitant, I thought of refusing until I recalled the image of Damian in bed with that woman. “It's only fair to have some fun as well” I muttered to myself, ready to leave my dignity behind as I cheerfully reached for the bulge in his pants, letting my fingers roam wild as I pulled out his already hardened d**k, teasing the tip with my tongue as I marvelled at his size. “Suck it” he ordered whilst grabbing a firm hold of my hair, yanking my head backwards. “Suck it and don't stop until I tell you to” feeling amused, I obliged, preparing to demonstrate my skills. His muffed groans filled the room as he repeatedly thrusted into my mouth, rocking my head back and forth, his grip on my hair tightening even more. I kept going until my eyes began to dim from lack of oxygen as he was ludged deeply into my throat. “Stop” I muttered inaudibly, desperate to breathe. “What? Can't handle it a little rough?” He mocked, yanking me up by my hair, pinning me against the wall. “i have no intention of being gentle with you, so if you can't sit pretty and take it like a good girl, then you're welcome to leave, but making that decision might cost you your life, because I don't like it very much when women walk out on me, especially during intimacy” “so…what's it going to be?” I smirked lightly as I answered his question by shoving him to the bed. “Then it seems I have no choice but to please you tonight, you can use me however you see fit and I'll ensure to ride you like my life depends on it” I responded, my clothes slowly falling to the floor layer by layer as I got on top of him, smiling in satisfaction as I buckled his belt around his arms, restraining him to the bed as I positioned myself, ready to take full control.(4 WEEK AGO/ DAMIAN'S POV)I had only taken a few steps back into the west wing when a blood curling scream echoed across the entire estate, my heart went into chaos as I recognized the all too familiar voice. “Elisa!” I yelled out, with the intention of sprinting back to the outhouse when I was caught and restrained by the guards. “Where do you think you're going Damian?” Great grandma questioned, emerging from the halls, looking greatly displeased, her brows furrowed in anger as she took one look at me, observing the bruises on my face from my fight with Leonard. “Haven't you offended your uncle enough by trying to covet his wife in his absence? Did you seriously think I wouldn't find out about your ill intent? I thought I raised you better, so why do you insist on constantly putting yourself at odds with your family all for that wretched girl?!!! If you're so desperate for companionship then I promise to find you a nice girl, someone far superior to that spoiled brat of the darkhor
The rest of them trembled in fear as they soon began falling one by one at the mercy of my hand. It was almost as though they had taken a vow of silence as none of them were willing to speak knowledge of the matter, feigning ignorance as they watched their coworkers drop like flies. Upon arriving to end the life of the seventh maid, I was already feeling incredibly unamused by their silence, deciding to spice it up a little. “It seems death by the hands of a loaded gun is a bit too much luxury to offer to the likes of you, you're not deserving of such an easy death, so please allow me to prepare something more fitting of your status” I voiced, ordering the guards to yield to my commands. “Prepare the furnace, we'll burn this one instead”. The moment the words escaped my lips, the long awaited confession spewed out from the mouth of the youngest of them all, frightened for the life of her older sister that was next in line to receive punishment. “Please don't, I'll tell you everything
I wasn't certain my ears were playing tricks on me, or at the very least she was only saying this to mock me, refusing to fall into her trap. I got up, heading straight for the door without even sparing her another glance. “Please, don't go!!!” She yelled out, falling out of her wheelchair in the process of trying to stop me. “I don't want to be alone anymore, please, don't leave me here, don't abandon me.” she pleaded, sobbing uncontrollably as she struggled on the floor, trying to crawl over to me, her eyes were bloodshot, her tear stained cheeks completely pale. I hadn't noticed until now, how undead she looked, it was almost as though she could break at any given moment. Against my better judgement, I returned to her side, scooping her gently into my arms, returning her to bed to rest instead of her wheelchair. I had some many questions flooding my mind but only managed to ask the one that seemed most obnoxious. “Do you really want me to stay?”. She nodded her head frantically, be
(Leonard's POV)It had been 4 weeks since I last saw her, 4 weeks since I caught her nestling deep into Damian's embrace, a week since the confrontation that changed the dynamic of our relationship. I laid haggard in my office, deep in thought when the doctor came to submit his weekly report on Elisa's condition. “Sir Leonard, may I come in?” He asked, politely remaining at the door until I summoned him in. “What's the status, are her chances getting any better?” I questioned, my tone remaining firm and distant. “I'm afraid not, Miss Elisa has refused to cooperate with her treatments, she hasn't even made it into any of her rehabilitation therapy appointments. If things keep going on like this, I don't think the young miss will ever be able to walk again. The injury to her spinal column wasn't supposed to be that serious an issue, she could've recovered in the timespan of only a few months but she's not willing to entertain any thoughts of recovery, skipping medications, canceling the
“Leonard! You're here” I breathe out in relief as I finally managed to pry Damian off of me, quickly stepping away from him. I wanted more than anything else to run to Leonard for protection but the murderous intent in his eyes as he glared at us both, naked in our entanglement, made clear the danger that loomed at bay. “It's not what it looks like I promise, just give me a chance to explain” I tried explaining as he angrily stormed over but it was hopeless. Before I could even access the situation properly, my head was snapped to the side with a numbing force, causing me to fall to the ground as blood slowly began trickling down my nose. The impact of the hit was so grave that it didn't even hurt, the entire left side of my cheek felt paralyzed, completely numb, I couldn't even more a muscle in my face talk less of feeling it, I just sat there silently, my body still in shock as I zoned out, completely detached from the rest of the world around me. Leonard and Damian brawled behind t
(Elisa's POV) After the painstakingly hours I had invested in cleaning and refurbishing the guest house, to make it suitable for my habitation, I decided to take a shower to wash off the blood that had tainted my skin and dress my wounds. I had just put the bandage on, carefully wrapping it around my neck when a knock echoed in the living room, I hesitantly came down the stairs, mentally decided not to unlock the door if it was Leonard requesting an entire, I let out a deep sigh of relief, noting that it wasn't his figure that loomed over the peephole, I quickly unlocked the door, whilst still in my bathrobe. I had hastily reacted after gaining the assurance that it in fact wasn't Leonard, but my brain had failed to register the unusual nature of the person standing in front of me. “Why are you here?” I questioned with genuine curiosity. “Weren't you trying to avoid me? Grandmother already made it clear that I am to stay as far away from you as physically possible, so please don't ma
