Chapter Fifteen — A Dirty DealIvanna’s POVThe argument between them wasn’t getting anywhere. Jenny was still waiting for me to save her. I needed to act fast by telling him what I came here for."Your Highness," I called his attention, interrupting his talk with her."What is it?!" He yelled at me. "What do you want? Are you blind? Can't you see that I am having a conversation with someone?""I am sorry but someone needs to be saved. The longer I delay, the more she'll suffer,” I explained, squeezing my fingers nervously."And who might that be? A guy who gets to fuck your pussy?" I sensed a hint of jealousy in his voice. But it didn't make sense. Why would he be jealous? He didn't give a fuck about me, right?"No, a friend. She's…" I was still talking when Anna cut me off."The killer has a friend? Who would be so crazy to be friends with someone like you? You're just a cheap, shameless killer.""Will you shut up, Anna?" Rocco ordered, getting her even angrier."You'll pay for this
Chapter Sixteen— Lick my feet.Ivanna’s POVMinutes later, I was panting from his aggressive thrusts and brutal gripping of my hair.I should be used to them by now, but God, they still hurt. A little more each time he did it.After fucking me and finally pulling out, he let me go and I collapsed on the floor panting. Beads of sweat covered my aching body but I knew better than asking if I could take a bath again. He would never allow that."Good job, mate," he said in a cocky tone, putting on his clothes. "Fucking get dressed. Or do you need my help for that?""No." I picked up my rag-like clothes and put them on. "Can we go now?" I inquired politely."Go where?" he questioned, sitting on the edge of the bed with a smirk. "I don’t understand.""To save Jenny," I replied. Why was he playing dumb? He couldn't be trying to go back on his promise, could he?"Who's Jenny? I've never heard of such a tacky name. Is she your pet, perhaps?" He gave a hoarse chuckle. He was clearly making fun
Chapter Seventeen— The Real KillerIvanna’s POVI had barely reached the maid's quarters when Mary approached me with a scowl on her face and her hands resting on her hips. She looked very furious, and I could only imagine why. "What did you do?" She asked through gritted teeth.The question was a little confusing, but then I spotted the other girls gossiping silently and I picked up a few words they said.*Mary got embarrassed by Prince Rocco. I can't believe it. She couldn't even finish her torture on Jenny*My jaw dropped in both shock and surprise. Prince Rocco already did it? Has he already saved Jenny?Ah, I got it now. No wonder Mary looked like she had just got hit by a truck. Seeing her this way had to be the highlight of my day and I shot her a smile, trying to piss her off even more."Wipe that smile off your stupid, ugly face or I'm gonna do it for you!""Sorry, Ma'am," I said, trying to hide my smile."Where are you coming from?" She interrogated me. When I said no wor
Chapter Eighteen– Anna’s liesIvanna’s POV.Weeks went by and Jenny and I grew closer. Living here didn't feel like hell anymore, thanks to her. We spent all our time together, and the only time we were apart was whenever I had to go see Rocco.It was another busy day in the Packhouse. Jenny and I had a lot of clothes to wash and we were on it when Mary walked up to us."You girls seem to be having the best time of your life," she sneered. As if that was true.Ever since Jenny disobeyed her, she had been giving us piles of clothes to wash. We almost did all the work around here and Lily wouldn't stop throwing eye daggers at us either. They were both still pained by Jenny's incident and I doubt they would ever move on from that."It seems the work assigned to you isn't big enough. That's why you both still have the time to c
Chapter Nineteen — You’re the killer.Ivanna’s POVI was almost done with cleaning the room when Alpha walked in with Luna June. I bowed but all she did was stare at me angrily.What did I do this time? Why was she giving me such a deadly look? The Alpha excused himself and left. It was just me alone with Luna June."What have you done again?" She asked with an aggressive approach. "Did you sleep with my husband again?""No, I didn’t." I immediately defended myself."I can smell his cum in this room and a female's scent is lingering on his body," she pointed out. "How dare you sleep with him again, bitch? I forgave you the last time and let it slide. Now, you dare to do it again with him. You fucked him again because you enjoyed having his cock inside your pussy, right?"It was hard and painful listening to her accusing me, but I tried to handle the situation as much as I could."I'm sorry for the last time, Luna. I was forced by your husband. I was raped," I clarified. "But I want yo
Chapter Twenty — What are you talking about?Ivanna's POV"What are you talking about?" She moved backwards. Like she was terrified. And her fingers were trembling. She sat on the bed and almost at the same time she stood and was pacing. Even her voice was barely audible. "You killed her, June," I repeated, slightly puzzled by her chaotic reaction. "You were there when she died. Who knows what you fed her before I came in.""I didn't kill her. I couldn't have. I'm not a fucking killer!" She shrieked, grabbing a handful of her hair and yanking it.What the hell was going on with her? I hadn't expected such a reaction from her. She seemed so coordinated and bold earlier. How did she become so disturbed over a question?Was she really the killer? Nah, she couldn't be. Maybe she was still terrified of that day. Maybe her weird reaction was a traumatic response. But her eyes…they glowed. Like she was hiding something.Should I threaten her more? It could make her snap and she would spill
Chapter Twenty-one— See You SoonIvanna’s POVThe packhouse was bustling with activities. A bit more than usual. I was drowned in an ocean of duties that I barely found time to catch my breath. It didn't help that Mary had her eyes on me, not giving me a slight chance to stretch my aching body or take a little break. I dared to stand and do a little twist, but she was already yelling. "Hey. What are you still waiting for, idiot? Aren’t you going to work?!""As you can see, Ma'am, I’m working," I replied with a subtle eye roll.I stayed down until I was done with all my chores. Settling on the floor, I took a little rest. But here she came again, fierce and mean."Stop lazing around and go help out in the kitchen!""Yes, ma’am." I stood, ignoring the pain resting in my joints. I hurried inside the kitchen. Lily and the other girls were already there and they all turned to me with glares. "Come over here and help me," Mirinda said. She was one of Lily's sidekicks. "Don't stand ove
Chapter Twenty-Two. A New Tag Ivanna’s POV I hurried out of her room and ran back to the maid's quarters. Unfortunately, I bumped into Lily's sidekicks. A simple apology wouldn't cut it, but I still muttered one, and took a step, but got pulled back. "Why are you in a hurry?" Mirinda asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "Did you do something shameful again? Who did you kill this time?" I looked at her. And then at her girls. It was obvious they were trying to initiate a fight. But I knew better than to fall for their trick. Without uttering a word, I walked past her. Strolling the hallways and checking all the rooms, I finally found Mary directing a group of girls to put up some decorations on the walls. She spotted me approaching her, so I didn't have to get her attention. "Are you done with the cleaning?" "Yes, ma'am." "Good. Now get to work. Help them with the decorations. I want everything to be perfect. Is it clear?" She yelled into my ears. "Crystal, Ma'am." It
