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.Elisa's father fell back into his seat, a strange calm emitting from him as he spoke his final words. “Kill them” he ordered, his mind seemingly made up. And just like that, we were surrounded in seconds, multiple guns pointed at each of our heads, our men already restrained far behind us. “Eliot, you're going against our agreement!!!” Father retorted, trying to maintain his composure. “Agreement?” Elisa's father repeated, mocking father's choice of words. “The marriage alliance was only accepted with the hopes that you'd care for my daughter and treat her as one of your own, but instead of fulfilling your end of the bargain, you allowed your family to mistreat her, reducing her to such a state. I can't believe I actually entrusted her life into the hands of her mother's killer thinking we could bring an end to the disputes between our families and leave the past where it belongs but it seems you weren't truly in search of a reconciliation”. Father greeted his teeth in anger, looking
“Elisa!” I yelled, sprinting over as she laid motionless covered in blood. My mind reeled in horror, stunned at her current state. I pulled her into my arms, gently cupping her cheeks as I tried to shake her awake but to my dismay, she wasn't responding. “Elisa, please open your eyes. Wake up and say something, your silence is scaring me. What happened? Who did this to you?”. Unfortunately my desperate search for an answer, proved vain as Elisa still wasn't responding. It was only after a few moments of steadily observing her that I noticed she wasn't breathing at all, her chest laid completely still, not even the slightest bit of motion in sight. Panic enveloped me as I placed my head on her chest, hoping to hear a heartbeat but it was just as I had suspected, she didn't even have a pulse. My body froze at the horrid realization of Elisa's murder. Denial clouded my mind as I picked her up, carrying her lifeless body in my arms as I sprinted out of the estate, gently placing her in my
CHAPTER 12“Excuse me?” I retorted, barely restraining my anger as I tried my hardest not to retaliate her slap in fear of escalating the situation. “Have you no shame? Getting entangled with master Leonard whilst you're currently engaged to be married in only a month to sir Damian.” She spat, angry tears streaming down her face as she lunged at me, yanking me by the hair. “Master Leonard was mine, what gave you the right to take him away from me?!!! Weren't you already satisfied with Damian's looks and affection? Why choose to covet what belongs to others just for your own amusement?” She yelled, her voice rising with each passing second. “Is it because you're prettier than me, that you think you can take what's rightfully mine? Answer me!!!?” She went on, demanding a response but still refusing to let me speak. “Or is it because you're from a well off family that you think you're better than the rest of us and the world should cater the finest things only to you?” … “Fine” she conti
CHAPTER 11Feeling helpless at the thought of no other way out of the situation, I decided to take the initiative to lead it further as I boldly walked over and sat on his lap, my hand playfully teasing the bulge in his pants. I threw my arms around him, leaning in closer for a kiss but was met with rejection as he rose to his feet, tightly choking me by the neck, dragging me all the way to the door before finally releasing his grip. “What're you doing?” I questioned, as Leonard had me helplessly pinned against the door, ludged between his imposing figure and the only barrier keeping Damian from discovering our affair. He didn't even bother answering my question as he reached underneath the large shirt I was wearing, ripping my underwear right off as he picked me up, forcefully placing my arms around his neck, my legs instinctively wrapping around his waist in fear of falling. My chest pressed against his face as he held me up with just one hand, undoing his zipper with the other as h
“Finding out what?” Damian turned to me, genuinely concerned as he asked. “Elisa what is he talking about?”. I considered telling Damian everything first but my curiosity outweighed my fear as I accepted Leonard's invitation. “I'll go with you” I responded, my voice filled with uncertainty. “Good girl” Leonard mocked as he headed for the door, holding it open, gesturing for me to go on ahead and I obliged. Just as I was about taking Leonard's extended hand, Damian grabbed my arm, demanding an explanation. “What's going on? Why are you going along with him? Don't you understand how dangerous he is? Why are you getting involved with him?”. I hesitated, unsure of what to say as he stared at me expectantly. Before I could even respond, Leonard interrupted, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. “Feel free to continue your interrogation when I'm done with her, as we're both currently occupied” and with that he walked away, dangling me over his shoulder as his moved calmly, forcin
CHAPTER 9(Elisa's POV) My eyes were heavy, my knees quivering beneath me, threatening to give out as I struggled to withstand the final hours of my punishment. Just as I felt my vision blurring from the strain I was forced to endure and the immense hunger I was plagued with, the timer finally went off, signaling the conclusion of my punishment. My gaze landed on the clock delicately placed in the hall, it was already midnight. I struggled to help myself up but it proved difficult as my legs had long gone numb. The head maid and the rest of the staff just walked past me as their job had already been completed. Feeling helpless and incredibly dizzy, I laid softly on the ground as I patiently waited for my legs to regain functionality. Plagued by my exhaustion, I drifted off to sleep, awoken only a few hours later by the throbbing headache inflicted by my head injury.“Does it hurt?” A familiar voice questioned. As I looked up to see who it was, I was met with the worried gaze of Damia
