Julienne

It’s been two weeks and four days since the incident at the club happened and ever since then, I’ve not had a proper conversation with Daemon except when it was necessary and I couldn't escape it.

Our conversation consisted mainly of exchanging greetings and mumbling a few words during the few things we found ourselves at the dinner table or we came across each other in the hallway or the garden.

Every time I saw him, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the man who said those hurtful words to me at the club. The words were ingrained in my head and for a moment, I’d allowed myself to be deluded with the fact that maybe, just maybe Daemon was going to treat me as a person and not an item that he owned but I was quickly brought back to reality as he made me understand that I had no value, to him, to anyone and the world at large.

I spent the first week crying and cursing my luck and my mother for putting me in this situation. This wasn’t life, I had nothing to do except wait

    JulienneThe cab stopped in front of the large metal gate and the money I had wasn’t enough to cover the total fare but the cab driver took pity on me. “Consider this my show of good faith. I know what it’s like to have your life being messed up and I hope you find a way to get your revenge.” The cab driver said as he gave me a salute. I gave him a grateful smile as I alighted from the cab and watched as he turned around and disappeared down the road. “You tricked me, miss.” I heard the guard’s voice as he spoke to me harshly, feeling betrayed. I turned around slowly to find him glaring at me. “I passed the instruction I was given, anything that happened in there had nothing to do with me,” I replied. “Give me one good reason why I should let you in here.” He said.“Because you don’t have a choice and that’s it. I can stay here all night but you need to think about what Mr. Daemon would do to you when he finds out that you kept me out here all night.”That was all I needed to sa

    JulienneI alighted the cab when we got to a densely populated area in New York. To be fair, nearly every place was densely populated in New York. Over eight million people were living in New York and it was by far the most populous state in the country. The city was noisy, a stark contrast to the quietness of Daemon’s house which had nearly made me mad. I slid my hands into the pockets of the hoodie as I walked along the streets, doing a little bit of window shopping and stopping by street performers to enjoy their music before moving on to the next interesting thing that caught my eye. Daemon hadn’t allowed me to use a phone so the only way I would be able to save this day was by committing it to memory and making sure it stays in my head. I didn’t know how long I walked through the streets of New York but I didn’t want to stop. This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time and I wanted to savor every moment of it before returning to the shell.The sky rumbled above and I looke

    “We’ve got some good news, sir.” I didn’t turn my chair around as I stared at the dark skies. The city underneath was full of light and it was almost certain that the streets would be filled with people going about their daily activities but there was nothing down there that interested me anymore which was why my eyes were fixed on the dark sky as I brainstormed, trying to come out with multiple solutions for the numerous conundrums I had yet to solve. We’ve got some good news. This wasn’t the first time I was hearing those words this week and I was getting tired of hearing it without being given substantial context or adequate context to whatever they brought on my plate. I hated incompetence and laziness, they were mortal sins that I could never forgive, no matter what. I hadn’t told them yet but they were running out of time to deliver actual good news to me. I was getting antsy and my uncle was getting impatient. If they weren’t going to be able to sort this out, I’d make sur

    Daemon“I need to head home, please. You’ve made your point and I’ve understood my place and I know that I have no worth to you or any of your friends. Can you stop acting like this?”"No. You will give me orders, do I make myself clear?" My voice was detached and void of emotions.“I was only trying to say that you are not—“"You need to keep whatever you want to say, Julienne. I don’t need to hear anything from you because I can't do this anymore. Whatever you think we have, it has to stop now and for both our sakes, it would be best if we don't mess with each other again."I couldn't afford to slip up like my father did. Everyone in the family was looking up to me. I could trade my revenge just for a girl I could never have because of how different we were in societal class and everything else that involved the both of us as a person. “It might not mean a lot to you but I had seen this coming, the signs were there but I never thought it would end so soon. But after thinking about

    "Why did you bring her here, Daemon?" Bene asked me after minutes of silence.I could feel everyone's eyes on me as they stared at me expectantly waiting for my answer.A part of me felt bad for doing this to her after the relationship we’ve been building and how it’s progressed so far to the extent that I had to publicly humiliate her in order to acquire a desired outcome.She was dispensable and I didn’t mind as long as I would achieve my goals in the nearest future."To prove a point to my uncle. She doesn't mean anything to me. She never has and she never will." I bit out.Bene smiled as he raised his glass to me. “Are you particularly sure about this? You know that there’s no going back.”“I came down here for one reason and one reason only. Every other thing takes secondary consideration and that’s all you need to know. Do you understand?” "Point taken."“Good.”I stood up and mumbled an excuse. “Are you leaving so soon, Daemon?” “I need to make sure she doesn’t do something
