LOGIN"I am your master, I own you. Until your father is able to pay me what he owes, you are just a body for me to fuck and dispose of as soon as you give me an heir" His grip on my chin grew more hurtful as he said those words to me. His menacing scowl made him look like he would want want nothing more than to kill me on the spot. "I am going to pay you back, Tell me how much he owes you right now and I'm going to pay everything back, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I scream as hard as I can into his face. My hand balling into a fist. His head snapped back as he erupted into a wicked laughter, you think you can pay me what your father owes me?" He released my chin then moved to steps backward. His voice dropped to a whisper, vibrating with restrained anger as he continue to speak, "I dare you to try. Your father owes me half a million dollars, but since you have decided to take on this debt, I give you a month." Rue; Freedom was everything I have ever yearned for, a time when I can finally breathe a breath of relief, a time when I can finally be relieved of the burden of my alcoholic, selfish and gambling addicted father. Until my father sold me to the ruthless mafia Don, Alessandro Vanillin as a payment of five hundred thousand dollars. It was stupid of me to think I was better away from my father.
View MoreNAMIKO I woke up before dawn, hoping to avoid Annabeth. This was the best I could do after my failed attempt to make Arya understand. I grabbed fresh clothes and headed to the river for a quick wash. The river was quiet when I arrived, and the sky was still dark. The water looked still, the surface barely rippling, like it was holding its breath. I slipped my sandals off, dropping the clothes I brought to the side, then getting rid of the one I had on, already bracing myself for the cold, when my gaze landed on something. A person standing in the distance at the edge of the water. My heart skipped a beat as I palmed my mouth to keep me from screaming. I took a step forward, to peer into who it was. A chill ran down my spine when I caught something familiar. “Arya?” I recognized the clothes she was wearing from last night. She wasn’t washing or gathering water, she was just staring into the water like her body was here but her mind was somewhere else. For a second,
NAMIKO The bonfire crackled alive, sparks of the fire flying in the air looked like tiny fireflies. Shadows of familiar and unfamiliar faces danced around it, singing, clapping and just screaming with joy and happiness. I sat on a tree stump, with my hand clasped in front of me and a genuinely happy smile, I flashed my teeth to every man, woman, or child that looked my way. The Bonfire Night, Annabeth called it. A small ceremony the camp held every two weeks for no reason other than gratitude to the goddess for survival, peace, and no interference or attacks. It was another fortnight where no one had been taken, hurt, or forced to flee. This was my third one in the past two months settling here. The first two were actually entertaining. However this one. . . Even though it wasn't bad, but my chest felt so tight with worry. I watched Annabeth laugh near the fire, her face warm in the glow, her eyes soft as she spoke to a group of women. She looked lighter tonight, prett
NAMIKO Settled in the cool river, the water swallowed me halfway, and the gentle current brushed against my skin, soothing every ragged edge inside me. My eyes were sealed shut, as I hummed a soft, low tune Annabeth had taught me over the times we spent together. The past two months had been a complete whirlwind for me, but it was peaceful having the right people around me. I had found little of the joy I always wanted to feel after the series of unfortunate events I had gone through months prior. It felt like the world had finally understood how to leave me alone. “Sloane.” My name echoed across the water, breaking the serenity like a log of wood being severed by an axe. I breathed out slowly and tilted my head to the sound , I spotted Aaron waving at me from the riverbank. His grin was wide and full of unfiltered joy, and I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. Reluctantly, I rose from the water. My wet clothes clung to me, dripping and outlinin
CASPIAN Days passed, turning into long weeks after weeks, until eventually two months went by. The chief commander had returned several times with news that left me in a bad state every single time. Namiko had not been found, despite her father's associate, Ethan who was now residing in the palace for as long as the search intended to last… joining the guards and leading most of the search. It was like she vanished into thin air, ceasing to exist in our very realm. The council had been very quiet after Rhogir, but some of them whispered the possibility of Namiko being dead. Why wouldn't they? Most of them are clearly eager to one day hear those words leave my mouth, but I knew one thing for sure. That would never happen. It aggravated me each time I heard them suggest something so despicable. Namiko couldn't be dead, she was out there, somewhere we had just not reached yet. I could feel it in my heart that she was out there, probably hating and wishing never to see me agai
RUEThe air freezes around me the way rooms do when something irreversible has happened. It is entirely silent, and cold. No one moves at first. Not the host, definitely not the crew, and not even me. I can hear the faint hum of the lights, but everything else sounds distant, like I am in the room,
RUEMatteo taps the folder again like it is a personal sin to him. “You need to go live. Morning broadcast. It has a wider reach, and it's the perfect timing. People are already bored of the rumors, so now is when they’re most willing to believe the truth if you hand it to them.”I stare at him. “B
RUEThe morning arrives slowly. It's not the same way the day breaks in the city. The sun doesn't boom in a minute. It creeps. It settles. It seeps into the cracks like it is asking for permission to exist.I stare at the warm reflection of myself through a small crack in the window.I find myself
RUEThe morning feels different from the others I have known. There's a soothing calm to it. The morning isn't one that starts with a sharp burst. It slides beneath the door and softens the room gradually, and it feels like I am softly being lulled off from the bed by a host of clouds. It is weird,
