We arrive back in the mansion, my legs are numb from the drive back, I have a striking headache and I feel like everything was crumbling, watching the fight between Lucien and Cassandra had a crazy toll on me even crazier than watching Lucien kill my own father in cold blood. As I step into the grand living room, my heart pounds in my chest, and I clutch onto the fabric of my gown, feeling the tremors of fear coursing through my veins. I take a moment to catch my breath, realizing that I've arrived ahead of Lucien. The room is just as ever vast, adorned with elegant furnishings and exquisite artwork, its opulence mesmerizing yet intimidating.Soon after, Lucien enters with an air of authority, his commanding presence making everyone in the room turn their attention towards him. He addresses the maids with a stern tone, “three of you, get Natasha to her room and make sure she’s fine and eats well” his voice has a bit of hesitation as he watches them walk closer to me. “I don’t want
“Why does she always end up in trouble? What exactly makes Adam hate her so much, does he by any chance know something that I do not?” I wonder as we walk in back from the party, my body is energized and I still have tons of energy to go around but how about this little clumsy pet. I call for the maids to tend to her and take care of her needs while I take my time to cool off in my study. There I am alone as usual and slowly basking in my loneliness when I feel the piercing gaze of Adam’s eyes on me. “You have such a remarkable death glare you’re the ready they invented the phrase; if looks can kill” I say as I gradually open my eyes. “You could have let the witch kill that girl and by now we’d be rid of her without needing to present many convictions” he says in a straight tone and I immediately responded. “Are you questioning my judgement Adam?” What seems like a flicker of fear flash in his eyes the moment he catches a glimpse of mine. I stare straight and directly into his
The time is 12:45am Darkness envelopes the mansion , the guards are asleep and there is perfect silence everywhere else except my brain which has been replaying the events of the previous day. I turn around in my bed wishing and hoping I find some sort of solace to sleep off unconsciously but it didn’t seem like that is happening anytime soon. I rise from the bed, my eyes looking all over the room, “maybe I should take a stroll” I decide in a split second and rise almost immediately. Thank God for the perfectly made door that makes no creaking sound, I can easily just open it without worrying about alerting the guards, Lucien and Adam still ain’t back from wherever they went. “Tch tch tch, who did this” I click my tongue and complain as I step on a piece of bead that is left lying on the ground, it almost made me slip off my feet. I slowly make my way down to the basement elevator as usual, this is the only chance I have and I might have to give up going soon since I still hav
As I wake up to the bright sunlight streaming into my room, I find Lucien standing before me. His piercing gaze sends a shiver down my spine, and a sense of fear washes over me. Tentatively, he starts a conversation, his words initially awkward and distant.“Good morning, Natasha. Did you sleep well?” Lucien asks with a soft toneI try to compose myself and respond with a small nod, my voice barely audible.“ Yes, thank you. How about you?” I reply with slight hesitation, looking intently into his eyes and hoping he doesn’t know the truth about what I’ve been up to the previous night. His expression softens slightly, and he offers a faint smile. “ I managed to get some rest. I hope you're feeling better today, little pet.” His voice carrying a bit of sarcasm I muster up the courage to engage in the conversation, easing the tension between us.“ I'm feeling much better, thank you. The room feels so alive and vibrant this morning.” I realise he isn’t aware and I wonder what’s up with
We’ve spent quite some time in Lucien’s study and I’m still on my second glass while Lucien has had quite a lot. Two bottles of the same whiskey to be precise, they lay around on the ground seeming like there’s been a party in here. As the time ticks by, Lucien's starts to become more and more vulnerable. “I own you little pet!, you’re mine and mine alone” he says in his drunken state, I wonder what’s come over me but I kind of like the way he calls me like something he purchased in the convenience store. “You’re tired Lucien, would you let me help you to your room ?” I ask with a low tone trying not to aggravate or annoy his “royal highness”. “Nonsense, I can walk and move around just fine” Lucien, in a drunken stupor, is attempting to stand up and walk on his own. His unsteady legs wobble beneath him as he struggles to find his balance. In a continuous cycle of swaying, he pushes himself upward only to falter and stagger back to his seat.Observing Lucien's inebriated efforts,
“Little pet…” he starts with a soft voice, which hardens later on “you’re mine entirely, my property” he grips me one more time even stronger than it was before I can feel my skin being grazed by the harshness of the force he’s exerting on me. He forces my legs open again and starts to lick me under, undeniably it feels good and warm I cannot believe I’m liking this even though it’s forced. He rose back to me and kisses my cheeks, complimenting how good I taste, I’m irritated by his act and tired of fighting him. In a matter of seconds I can feel something really big making it’s way into my body, I find my strength again and scream really loud, at the top of my voice making sure the entire house can hear me. “You’re really wet for someone who’s resisting” he say and he covers my mouth with his large hands. I can no longer scream, I hold my breath and focus all my energy into my arms and trying to push him back, Lucien is far too strong. He won, he penetrates me with a gently but
“What have I done? What am I doing? Was I really that drunk?” I think as I lay next to Natasha, I can hear and feel her sombering and crying. Why is it so hard for me to fall asleep now? Is this guilt? Numerous thoughts rush in my head preventing me from falling asleep. I wait until she is no longer moving; perhaps she’s now sleeping.I rise from her side gently and pick up my clothes making my way out of her room, I take one final glance at her before finally disappearing into the hallways and out of her sight. I lay in my bed restless the entire night wondering what had come over me to have done such a thing “ohh Lucien, you’ve turned into another man that I do not recognise” I say to myself with a maniacal laughter, I keep moving around the bed until dawn after which I decide to sit in the large living room.I stand motionless in the living room, observing Natasha as she emerges from her room. She moves like a ghost, devoid of life, her eyes distant and detached. Irritation and di
The next day after the garden encounter, The next day dawns upon me as I awaken in the embrace of my vast, darkly lit room. The air hangs heavy with a sense of grandeur and opulence, the room exuding an aura fit for dignitaries and presidents. The walls are adorned with rich, dark colors, accentuated by minimal lighting that casts subtle shadows across the space. A single large window stands tall, its presence shrouded by heavy black curtains that deny entry to the morning sunlight.I slowly rise from my slumber, feeling the weight of the previous day still lingering within me. As I shuffle towards the opulent en-suite bathroom, the plush carpet cushions my every step. The room is a sanctuary of marble and gold accents, a testament to extravagance and luxury.I grab hold of my toothbrush and squeeze a generous amount of toothpaste onto its bristles. The sound of running water fills the room as I wet the brush before proceeding to meticulously scrub my teeth, the rhythm of the brush ag
