Mira's pov"Why did you kill her?" I whispered angrily at the man I had come to fear. He wielded so much power that I was beginning to wonder if I'd not liaised with the wrong man. Since I'd been following his orders, things had been slipping out of my hands into his. Although I had begun to see results with Xaden, there was still something within him that recognized what he had with Violet. "I didn't need her anymore." He said without emotion."What? You speak as if her life was worth nothing." I said with sarcasm."It was worth nothing. So does yours. The less, the better." He answered.I shivered at the thought that our lives meant nothing at all."Mine! for someone with a heart of ice, you seem scared." He muttered sarcastically."Mine isn't as dark as yours. You know, this wasn't what I had planned when I decided to get Xaden back. You're disrupting my plans." I gritted."But you're getting results, ain't you?" He asked, but I had no response to give.I was livid when I found hi
Violet's povWhen I opened my eyes, I was in a room that looked shockingly familiar. I sneezed a couple of times and Mama appeared bearing a pitcher of something that smelled terribly."What--what?" I croaked not having enough strength to complete my sentence. My body felt so heavy and weak. It felt as though I had been poked with several knives.What the hel--?"Arhg..." I screamed in pain as I tried to turn, to lay on my side. But something was poking out of my side. Needles?"You went through acupuncture." Mama said."Acu...what?" I croaked weakly."Acupuncture was required to wake you. You've been unconscious for four days." She said,I tried to sit up but bowled over almost immediately. Mama quickly scampered to assist me. "Be careful, child." She chided.I noticed she sounded angry."Are you angry?" I whispered."These days, you've been doing really foolish things. Don't you know you're endangering you and your ch...""Stupid wench! Do you really want to get yourself killed or w
Violet's povThe breeze blew on my face and carried my hair in diverse direction. I had to repeatedly brush my hair off my face. It felt so good to be outside. Free from the kitchen, from the clustered maid's room, from Mira and from Xaden. I felt like hiding myself where I'd never be discovered.As I made my way down the trail, I paused to stroke some leaves as they hung loose from their branch. I felt sympathy for them. Just like me, they were almost falling off. But unlike me who had already fallen, it still fought for its life. I could understand why though. Once they had fallen, they wither. Just like me, they had been abandoned for a new green.I recalled how just after I had left Xaden in the courtyard yesterday, he hadn't taken time to forget that I had almost made him cum. He had fawned over Mira, as soon as I left. I had seen Mira from Mama's cottage, twisting, and dancing for him while he stroked his erection.I smiled as I recalled Mama's expression when she opened her do
Xaden's povI opened my eyes and she was gone. She left me hot and hungry. Hungry for her.The memory of her naked breast flashed and coursed through my body. I wanted release. Because of Violet.This was my punishment for betraying her. Now she lives to taunt me. I'll never recover from it, that I was sure.Unwillingly, my hand rose to my erection. I undid the zipper and released my hard and swollen length. I began to stroke and squeeze gently, then, I wrapped my penis in the hollow of my folded fingers and continued to snag surreptitiously while visualizing Violet's exposed breast. My head fell backwards of its own accord in ecstasy as I began to jerk forward.This wasn't enough. I needed to release it fast.Curse Violet.She was going to be the death of me.If this is her method of revenge, then she has it coming.Suddenly, there was an eruption within me."Ahhhh..." I moaned aloud as I spilled my cum. It ran through my palm to my thighs.I needed help. This wasn't going to do."
Violet's povI stood frozen outside the chicken coop as my knuckles turned white from gripping the eggs basket tightly. My knees collapsed under me, as tears spilled freely from my eyes. Something sparked and flared inside of me.I had allowed him to make a mockery of me again and I reeked of him.I reeked of shame--Raw...Scorching.My throat burned. I longed to scream. To pour out my anger and hatred. I swallowed the sob that begged for release.How did I get here?Enough was enough!The ache in my chest, twisted and tightened, choking me.The murmurs were getting more profound... "Whore bride." they whispered.Tucking my arms around me, I hugged the basket of eggs close to me-- it was as if the basket would shield me from the gossips that flew as I began to walk .I walked blindly, not having realized where I was going until I got to the courtyard. I sat on a stone, brooding over my experiences and the end of any hope I had harbored of Xaden returning to me.And just by the other en
Xaden's povWhat was happening to me? Why was I suddenly acting so crazed and depraved? As soon as I realized what I had almost done, I rushed out of the castle for some air. My throat felt so dry and I was stifled. I found my way to the stall where Shadow was kept. I nodded to the stable boy who led Shadow out. "It's okay, I'll take it from here." I said to the stable boy who was no more than fourteen moons.Once he was out, I patted shadow down and gave him a carrot and an apple which he munched on, while he sniffed my fingers. After he was done, I removed the saddle and handed it to the stable boy.I swung my leg over Shadow and led him on a slow throttle. After going at that pace for some minutes, I nudged Shadow with my knees making him increase his pace. And in no time, we were galloping at a full blown speed. I allowed my mind to roam as I thought of why I could no longer stand Violet. One second I was starved of her presence and I wanted to see her so bad. And in another I
