“Milady,” they bowed.

“We were instructed to bring your dinner here.”

Then, they stepped in quietly, their footsteps soft against the polished floor.

The scent of warm food drifted into the room, rich and comforting, completely at odds with the storm raging inside me.

And then, there were blood replenishing tonics and strength boosting tea. I had seen them before, on my first night with Talahei.

  • The Grand Tutor's Replacement Bride    Who Are You?

    “Milady,” they bowed. “We were instructed to bring your dinner here.” Then, they stepped in quietly, their footsteps soft against the polished floor. The scent of warm food drifted into the room, rich and comforting, completely at odds with the storm raging inside me.And then, there were blood replenishing tonics and strength boosting tea. I had seen them before, on my first night with Talahei. With Head Maid Lira’s instructions, they set the trays down and stepped aside. Their heads bowed low. Those carrying wooden containers filled with water, filled past, towards the wash room. Fifteen or so of them. Done, they all bowed, “Milady, enjoy your meal,” and left. The word echoed in my ears, louder than it should have been.My fingers curled slightly at my sides, my breath catching in my throat as I stared at them leave, in a straight line, unable to process what I was seeing.This wasn’t right.Nothing about this was right.Why were they acting like this was normal? Why wasn’t a

  • The Grand Tutor's Replacement Bride    Trauma

    My fingers tightened against his chest. Even though no one said a word, the silence was louder than any accusation.They knew I was cheating on their master. Or… worse… they accepted it. And I didn’t understand why.Or maybe Talahei had promised them something they couldn't refuse. Maybe Talahei had stolen power with the Grand Preceptor in seclusion. And everyone now answered to him. That must be it. By the time we stepped out of the long corridor, the evening sun was slowly starting to descend. “Talahei…” I tried again, softer this time, my voice strained. “Where are you taking me?”“You’ll see.” That was all he said.No explanation. He didn’t stop walking.He didn't even acknowledge the chaos brewing inside me.Before I could protest again, we reached the stables.My breath hitched.Horses.The smell of hay, sweat, damp wood… and something else beneath it all hit me first, clawing at my throat and dragging me somewhere I never wanted to return to.My body reacted before my mind

  • The Grand Tutor's Replacement Bride    Put Me Down

    My scream died the moment I realized that I wasn't falling. I was in the air. Caught in his strong arms. My breath came out in short, uneven bursts. “What are you doing? Put me—” The word barely left my lips when he leaned into my neck, planting a soft kiss there. “Haven't you missed your husband, Milady?” My entire body went rigid. Slowly… painfully slowly… I turned my head. And froze. “…you,” I whispered. Up close, there was no mistaking his gorgeous features but that wasn't the point. How could he claim to be my husband? Had he lost his mind? Wasn't he scared of what people would say if they saw him holding the Grand Preceptor’s wife like this? My heart slammed violently against my ribs. “You…” My fingers curled against his chest, pushing weakly against him. “Put me down.” He didn’t. If anything, his hold tightened slightly, as if amused by the lack of strength behind my resistance. “That’s no way to greet your husband,” he murmured, his breath warm agains

  • The Grand Tutor's Replacement Bride    Fighting Back

    It was Hugo.“Have you been avoiding me or just playing hard to get?”He stood a few steps away, hands loosely behind his back, posture relaxed in a way that didn’t match the sharpness in his eyes.It had been five months since I last saw him, yet that smugness, that arrogant air, was still etched into him like it had never left.I remained silent.Not even sparing him a glance.And that, apparently, annoyed him more than any words ever could.His jaw tightened.“It’s been five months,” he continued. “Five months since I was assigned to be around you, yet this is the first time we meet?”I could feel his eyes moving over me, sizing me up like I was something he had been ordered to watch rather than a person.“Need I remind you why I’m here?” he added, voice sharpening. “Do you honestly think I want to be stuck on this forsaken island with you forever?”Still, I said nothing.Not a reaction. Not a breath wasted on him.That silence made his irritation deepen.He exhaled sharply.“In ca

  • The Grand Tutor's Replacement Bride    Chapter 22: Urge To Kill

    Nanny Hagar’s voice cut through my thoughts again, sharper this time, laced with impatience. “You’ve yet to respond.” “I heard you,” I said lazily, my body still swaying gently with the swing. “I just didn’t feel the need to answer.” Her silence stretched, tense and heavy. Her face morphed with anger. “You’re becoming insolent.” I ignored her again. For someone who couldn't talk back five months again, the changes seemed to be much for her to accept. “With how little the blood we've been sending back has become, it would be unfortunate if the temple had to come here themselves.” My heart skipped for a moment. “They wouldn’t dare.” “Wouldn’t they?” she asked, scoffing. “Do you think the Grand Tutor would stop them? For you?” Silence. That question…I had asked myself the same thing more times than I could count. Would he? Would the man who had not shown his face since he married me, protect me? My gaze lowered slightly. “I am his wife,” I said, though th

  • The Grand Tutor's Replacement Bride    Chapter 21: Basking In The Garden

    Days passed. Weeks passed. Now, five months. I've subconsciously blended in. Even though my marriage wasn't looking so promising, the Grand Preceptor’s servant and guards still treated me with utmost respect. Except, you know who. “Lady Jeanine, it's the end of the full moon in ten days, your blood is still not ready to be sent back.” Nanny Hagar stood beside me. I didn't have to open my eyes to know that she was giving me condescending looks. Sitting on the swing in my garden, I rocked gently, back and forth, letting the evening breeze brush softly against my skin. It had become a habit, me sitting here, in this exact spot, watching the Linnea flowers sway gently in the air, their pale petals catching the fading light of the evening sun. I loved it. It gave me peace and allowed me to taste what freedom could feel like. I kept my eyes closed, my body relaxed against the swing, as though I had not heard her at all. But of course, ignoring Nanny Hagar n
