"I love you, Imogen," He said, breathing heavily.She gulped nervously and said nothing. Only her breath was heard, moments went and nothing was said.Simon pulled away from her chest and cupped her face."What is it?"Tears prickled her eyes, making him more worried. "I don't know what to say, you kept telling me how you feel about me but I....." He cut her short with a light kiss on her lips."You don't have to say anything, I told you it doesn't matter what you feel. You already belong to me, both your body and heart. So you don't have to say it"Imogen looked at him gladly and nod in an argument at his words, he smiled and kissed her again.This time more passionate and intense. She responded to the kiss, engulfed her hands around his neck.As they both expressed their love for each other.Maybe one day, one day she will be able to say it.******It was another day and the beginning of worries for Aria. Surprising she found herself more than worried for Imogen.She can't help but
"What? In three weeks, am getting married?" Freya asked her mother as she stood up from the chair she was seated on, causing the table to shake."Yes, it came from the palace this morning. So starting from tomorrow we will start preparing for your wedding. Isn't that exciting, you are going to be the next queen of Avis" Her mother said, not caring about the distressed look on her daughter's face."That is insane, absurd. How can I get married to a man I hardly know anything about? And we just got engaged and now married, this is going far than I expected, mother" Freya complain while her mother rolled her eyes."Seriously, Freya. When will you stop acting like a child? Many girls will die to be the next Queen of Avis. You will be the most powerful woman in the Kingdom, and our family will have more influence, your son will become the king of Avis after his father. Can't you see the big picture here, darling?"Many girls will die to be the next queen, but not her. Many will want to giv
Days Before Imogen Execution.Imogen sighed as she slumped on her bed, switching positions as she found herself unable to sleep.She raised from her bed, went to her door then back to her bed. "Isn't he not going to call me today?" Imogen pouted with a sad look.It has been a day since she had seen him, but she is missing him badly. Tonight, she is going to do it.She is going to confess her feelings for him, let him know how she feels and if that is enough to be called love. She smiled, wondering what his reaction will be.As much as it excites her to tell him, she can't. She can't go to him unless he summons her which he isn't doing and she is starting to think she might have to take a rain check on her confession.If he doesn't call for her tonight, then... She let out a deep breath then a knock suddenly came on her door.She hurried to her door, opened it but saw no one except a letter placed in front of her door, she bend and took it.*Come to the library, right now* It reads, Im
Fate has always been cruel to her, and the moment she thought she is finally going to be happy.The worst happened.Imogen gasped for air as he strangled her, no struggling, no resistance. She just wants it to end quickly, then she can put an end to her wretched life.She felt life slowly leaving her and darkness taking over. It is finally ending, without a chance to explain her.Does she have any regret? Yes, ever thinking she could love Simon. That was her regret and in her next life. If such a thing exists, the last person she will want to meet will be him.He looked at her with nothing but hatred, strangling her to death. He loved her but was betrayed, he thought of a life with her, a future that he could live in forever. But she taught him again, that he can't be happy nor trust anyone.Death, that is what he wants for her. But death is too merciful, he wants her to feel his pain, to be miserable like him.'That is why she can't die yet' Simon thought and released her, she droppe
Lucien beamed as he stared at Annabelle and his little son, sleeping calmly. His lips widened when Annabelle make a sound from her sleep."I love you, Lucius," She said in her sleep hugging her son closer to her unconscious. These days has been his happiest moment, despite being chased by Prince George's men.Annabelle doesn't treat him different, but she isn't as cold to him as before and she cherish their son more than anything.However, he still found happiness, maybe what happened to him was a blessing in disguise.Maybe...But, this happiness can't go on forever. He has already given maverick his response and a decision has already been made.If he wants to survive, he has to eliminate Simon but it won't be easy. To get rid of him, a trap must be made.But the Simon he knows won't walk willingly to a trap unless it involves her.Simon's only weakness is why he has sent one of his guards to Poppy to lure the slave out of the castle and Simon will go anywhere to look for her.He is
The slaves were in total distress as they all gathered in Poppy's room, waiting for her to come after being called by the Master.Who will it be tonight? Who will end up dying? They all thought as they murmured among themselves, even Isabella was no different.Will she also get killed, because of her actions without achieving what she wants?"This is all that wretch fault, I know nothing good will come out of her from the day she arrived" One of the slaves Charlotte accused while Isabella smirked. If she did die, it is for the best. Everyone now hates Imogen, even the person who cherished her the most "Their Master.""You don't know that, don't badmouth for what she didn't do," Aria said, glaring at Charlotte dangerously.'Everyone hates her except this witch' Isabella thought rolling her eyes at her."What she didn't do? Sophie and Ella died because of her affair. How is she innocent, I hope she died a painful death tomorrow""Shut up" Aria yelled at her. "Imogen didn't do it, she wa
Isabella barged into her room and rushed to her closet looking for the letter she wrote to Imogen as Simon.Her head was filled with many thoughts as she searched for it. If Aria had it as she claimed then it is over for her, over.Imogen will be free, Simon will punish her and even worst she will be killed. She will meet her end before she could even accomplish her mission.The master mistress and also his son's mother. That is all she has ever wanted and she will continue to want.She is cruel, evil and wicked but in this world, only the strongest survive. A mere slave, sold by her uncle to a whore house, suffered for years, then finally got brought by the dread lord.The only thing she has learnt in his cruel world is to never be kind to someone and to survive, you have to do dirty things.Everything was going her way, he called only her for S3x even though he had no feeling for her, he still treats her better than other slaves then Imogen came and she was forgotten. He only sees t
"What? He is waiting for me outside?" Gila asked and put the comb in her hand."Where is he? No, do I look good?" She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with her hand placed on her chest.She could feel her heart pounding, as he finally realized that she is the right one for him. Isabella's plan worked, after all."Of course, M'lady. He is waiting for you in the lobby" Her maid reported while Gila nodded stood up from the stool she sat and walked to the lobby."My Lord, what brings you here so late?" Gila asked with a smile but meet with Simon's angry face. Before she had any idea what was going on, he had her pinned to the wall. His hand was on her neck, ready to choke the life out of her."M'lady" Her maid called shocked and so was Gila.She felt her whole body vibrate out of fear, he looks so scary right now. Like he is ready to kill her."Have I done something wrong? What are you doing?"Simon smirked and tightened his hand on her neck, while Gila's face turned red immedia
