She glared down at the floor as the maids arranged her hair, and her mother put on a golden necklace on her."Done" The maids announced and Freya looked at the mirror in front of her."Wow!!" Her mother exclaimed and stand her up, then circled her around with a bright smile on her mother's face, not caring about her daughter's unhappy face or her reluctance.She dropped Freya's hand and clapped her hands in excitement with the maids, she stopped the clap and so does the maids. "You look, beautiful dear, more beautiful than ever. Just like a Princess" Her mother complimented Freya and forced out a smile, and then looked at the mirror.Like a Princess? she looks like a doll. Fake and unreal that is what she is. This isn't the life she wants, not the man she wished to get engaged to. But this is the way she must live, with no objection. At least not tonight, her fate has already been sealed with a man she doesn't know and by her parents who don't care about her feelings but their success
"You are fine, it is just a small cut" The physician said as he applied ointment on her lips."Thank you" Aria said to the physician, while he smiled, packed his stuff and left her room."Are you ok? You haven't said a word since, is the pain too much?""No, it is nothing. I am alright" Imogen said and smile faintly."How can you be alright when you are like this, just tell me. What is going on? Is it because of what happened earlier with master and his fiancée?"Aria asked while Imogen bit her lips, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall."He followed her, he didn't bother about me but went with her, when I was the one hurting" She sulked and Aria looked at speechless."You are sad because the master followed his fiancée and did not stay with you?"Imogen looked at aria and cleaned her tears. "Why are you looking at me like that? isn't It something to be sad about?""Ah, I guess it is. You aren't sad because she slapped you or because of your wound, but because the mast
"Thump thump" Her heart pounds as they walked side by side with their hands intertwined. George tightened his grip on her hand possessively, he has been like this since the kiss.Holding her like she might run away any moment, and the way he kissed her scared her so much.He is acting completely different from the soft man she knew, but then again she never knew the man. Sometimes he is gentle, and sometimes he is like her father, or maybe even worst.But that doesn't change her feelings for him, she loves him and she knows it, but is it the same for him? Does he love her as he claimed?"Does it matter? As long as he treats you right, it doesn't matter" That is probably what her father will say at this moment.Beldon Sebastian, her father, is a monster who doesn't care about others' feelings but his own. Will she make the mistake like her mother then marrying another monster like him, then like her mother, will she hate her child for being a monster like her husband?No, George isn't
The ballroom was filled with disorder and calamity everyone running around to save themselves, except him. He stood still with the cup of wine he had in his hand, beaming in excitement, with no fear, no shaking."What are you doing? Where are your guards?" Edward questioned, uptight about his cousin's lack of action.They haven't talked since he arrived, but he couldn't help but be worried. There was no fear in him neither was he calling on his guard, instead his eyes were on the door, waiting for something.At that moment Edward finally understand, the first person to leave the party was the prince together with Freya and some guards, without wasting time.The prince left like he was already aware and prepared, at first he didn't find it suspicious. During a time of crisis, the most important person is the royal family.But normally, Simon would have followed him. Everyone knows if the prince was in danger, he will sacrifice his life for him and the prince will do the same.They migh
The tension between Simon and Lucien grew more, both men staring at each other with nothing but hatred and rage.Simon growled at him, then sighed and calm him down. Imogen is safe, she will have already left the castle. This is probably a trap, and he won't allow Lucien's plans to work.There is no way, Lucien can harm her, no way. He can't let his emotions get the better of him, Imogen is safe."What about her? Are you interested in having slaves around now, but too bad you will die soon? Let's not cause trouble, and come with me gently"Lucien smirked "She must mean something to you, seeing you like this. Are you not interested in what I have to say?""Stop wasting your time, Lucien. Nothing you said will let me set you free, never" Simon affirmed, though there were flickers in his eyes."That is worse then if I end up dying tonight or my family get hurt. That girl also died along with me, you still not interested"Simon balled his fist extremely angrily, he want to charge Lucien a
Simon's heart pounds fast than usual. Out of fear, no he isn't afraid. But nervous and anticipating, he is icing to know what is going to happen tonight.Between the Prince and him, will he start doubting him now? And not trust him like before, or even worst than that.He isn't scared of taking responsibility, he is no coward so he won't run. But it will be threatening to his reputation if it is made public that he let go of the enemy to save the woman he cares for.Many will mock him, and the fear for him will disappear immediately. Thinking about it, makes him laugh, they will think he has gone soft.Maybe he has gone soft. He can't believe he let go of Lucien to save Imogen, the man he has hated for six years and will continue hating. He did go soft but that is because it is Imogen.The only person that can make him that weak is her. But this is the only time Lucien will escape, he will not escape ever again.He will make sure to catch him and then do the exact thing he did to him,
Imogen keep looking at the door every step she takes or heard some sound outside.'It is already late, and he isn't back' Imogen's facial expression saddened. 'Did he perhaps forget their agreement?' Her heart bleeds as her thought haunts her.Will he remember his words? Will, it matter to him that she is waiting for him in a light revealing dress that was hardly keeping her warm? But yet put it on because she wants to please him, will he care about it?"No, he isn't like that. He promised"Just because he promised, doesn't mean he will keep it. He could be with another lady right, Isabella, any slaves in the castle or rather be with his fiancée.That words pierce her heart, more than anything. The master isn't hers, she belongs to him but that isn't the case with him.He only belongs to the one who gets to marry him, and that is her.His fiancée.Imogen's eyes widened as another breeze lash her, and she shivered, warming her body with her two hands on both sides, rubbing it for warmt
Simon took in her lips, kissing her roughly and yet with so much passion, Imogen could feel it and wanted more.She engulfed her hands around his neck, deepening the kiss. Simon's hand snaked down to her back as he cupped her a$$.Imogen almost jumped up, as a moan escaped her mouth, making her part her lips and Simon used his tongue to invade her mouth.Their tongues entangled with each other, fighting for dominion. Simon groaned, claiming every part of her mouth, every corner.Imogen moaned, letting him take the lead. When the kiss was growing more intense, Simon stopped and scrutinized her."This dress is better than our first night," he said, penetrating her whole body.He move his hand to her visible hard n*pples, Imogen shivered at his touch."And you are more sensitive than our first night?" He teased while Imogen blushed at his words."You deserve a reward, for your good choice of dress""Reward, what...." Imogen was cut short, Simon placed a kiss on her hard n*pples and bit i
