Chapter six

Olivia

My lips quivering in fear. “I hate you.”

“Pick.” He gritted through his teeth.

He didn’t spare me a glance as he settled on his couch, waiting for me to utter the words.

His guard may have hurt me but I am not God, I could not do it.

His jaw ticked as his eyes darted to mine.

What if I don’t pick.

What will he do?

Punish me or worse punish soemone close to me.

Gabby.

I paused…

My pulse raced.

“Poison.” I whispered.

The guard’s eyes softened.

“The Queen has choose.” Luca smirked, I watched as one of the guards headed out of the room and in a second, they walked in with a basket, I stared at Luca who took a seat toward me.

“You broke my rules Olivia.” Luca whispered.

Cold air brushed against my ears as he held my hand.

My eyes sprinkling with tears, the words were just on the tips of my lips.

“You take your eyes off him and someone you love will pay for it.” Luca threatened and I nodded.

I maintained my gaze on the guard until I saw a snake spring out of the basket, the moment a scream threatened to fall out of my lips, a hand wrapped around my mouth.

Luca.

“Shh. Screaming shows weakness.” He whispered, his body leaned on to mine.

I felt a chill run down my spine when the snake found its way to the guard.

He didn’t fight it, just like Noah.

He accepted his fate.

As if it were trained, it’s lips found its place to his knee, inflicting it with poison, it didn’t stop at that, he was going to eat him and Luca didn’t seem to care.

My muffled begging were not heard, I didn’t have to see my husband’s face to realise he has a smile on his face.

It was a nightmare, one I wished I could never wake up from, it was worse than what had been done to Noah.

“Are you watching this, you are responsible for the deaths of two men, because you don’t listen, you disobey, you are not in your home anymore princess.” Luca spoke before he lets go of my face.

The moment he did, I sprinted upstairs and into my room.

My heart filled with anguish, the image never left my mind, only reminding me of what had happened with Noah, my eyes begging me to stop, and my mind begging me to find a way to leave.

I wailed for myself, for my future and for every goodness that has bend snatched away from me, replaced with nothing but torture and pain, relaxes with nothing but my tears.

——

A knock woke me up, it was loud, the moment my eyes snapped open, I winced in pain, I didn’t realize I slept off ok the floor until I watched as the door spring open an Bridget walked in.

“Oh goodness you are awake, we have a limited time, the Alpha wants you ready.”

“I’m not doing that.” I whispered.

“I’m afraid it’s not up to discussion. He wants to take you out for dinner.” She smiled at me and my frown only deepened.

I was a toy to him.

One that didn’t have any choice

Why will he take me to dinner after what I have done?

Is this another punishment of his.

Nothing came good from Luca

“Fine, can I take a shower or you want to help me do that.” I asked,

It’s not her fault her I was not in no mood for any form of conversation.

It took me ten minutes to take a bath, being in that bathroom made me feel nervous, it felt like he was standing me, watching my every move, it scared me that even the thought was not impossible, it’s him, he could do that.

Bridget was kind, she was helpful as she picked out what she thought I would wear, his favorite color and she picked out a set of lingerie to make Alpha happy.

My numbness only scared me.

The thought of willingly letting him do what he desired ruined me from within.

By the time she was done, I looked like a queen.

“Alpha will be happy.” She whispered with a smile on her face and I rolled my eyes at her.

“Do you know where he will be taking me?.”

“Somewhere special.” She smiled. “There are a few rules.” She added and my eyes rolled again.

Rules for dinner with my husband.

“You never look down, look up at all times and always maintain a smile on your face, no matter what happens, public appearances is very important, remember you are not a commoner, you are a queen.” She said.

I know.

I have been reminded of it every time.

I am a queen.

“And the last rule, when the Alpha kisses you, you kiss him back, with a smile on your face, my baby be shown that he is forcing himself on you.”

“Will you let your daughter do that, allow her to be treated the way I am treated Bridget.” I asked. “I am your queen, answer me.”

She didn’t speak, she didn’t even look me in the eyes.

I should have known, she won’t.

“You won’t right, you can see he is a monster, you have seen more worse than he has shown me and yet you stand here with a smile on your face.” I whispered. “You pretend everything is good and you come to me with these obnoxious rules Bridget, I have no problem with you but at least try and be real with me, you know better than I do.”

She could see how he is treating me

Without a word she slipped out of the room.

I stared at myself in the mirror, my heart skipped a beat.

I pushed back the tears that threatened to fall as I looked away before I headed out of the room.
