It was not that hard, given her petite shape and fit body. Yet, she felt ominous. Something was amiss. Like, why did she only encounter four guards?
Her heart was never wrong, and she knew it. So she felt no surprise seeing Jack standing in her way with a bunch of guards.
“Look at this little, pitiful pet trying to run away from her cage ! How cute !” He laughed.
Clearly, in the next few minutes, she was chained in the dungeon.
She always knew there was such a place in the mansion, given the cries she sometimes heard on cold nights. But she never imagined it was that dark and murky. Her chocolate-brown eyes needed a couple of minutes to get used to the darkness, so she would start to see her surroundings. She got chained to a cold rock table in the middle of a red room. There were no windows. There was no exit.
Jack stood by her cold bed, smiling like the devil. He touched her soft cheek slightly. Then, he slapped her hard. Her cheek became red like a rose. Yet, she gave him no reaction. She just looked at him lifelessly.
“You look dull,” he murmured.
Then He caressed her neck softly and lifted her chin:
“Dull like a doll,” He added. “Yet, I thought dolls do not run away from their owners. Do they?” She did not reply. So he kept caressing her shoulders and said: “Well, I think then that you are broken? So as the good husband that I am, I ought to fix you. Don’t I?”
And to his surprise, She laughed..
“Fix me ?! I am not the one who needs to get fixed, Mister Black ! I did not betray my partner, and neither did I bring a h*oker home ! I did not desert the person who loved me more than anything in the world so I may h*ok up with sl*ts !”
Jack’s jaw dropped when he heard her defending herself fiercely for the first time. He looked at her astonished then he giggled hard.
“You look so cute, hopelessly fending for yourself, sweetheart !” He mocked. Then he kissed her forcefully. It was a bitter kiss for her, and the sweetest thing he ever got. He forced his tongue inside her honey-sweet mouth and licked every corner of it. He bit her full scarlet lips roughly. Then he kissed the cheek he just slapped. He looked at her tearful big eyes and red rabbit nose. And he felt hot.
The image of a tearful, hopeless, chained virgin seemed too seductive for him.
He wanted to see her cry and beg. He wanted to cover her cute little body in blood and hickeys. The more she resisted him, the more he craved for her.
“I was waiting for this day to come, sweetheart,” He said “I saw you for the first time when you were ten. You were sobbing pathetically in a shady spot after being bitten by your stepmother. Your tears looked like the most precious thing in the world. You looked so vulnerable and so beautiful. I wanted you so bad. I wanted to see that weepy face again and again. I never was interested in your body. I just married you so I can lock you in a cage and hear your whines whenever I want. Unfortunately, you were in love with me after our marriage. I never got a thing from you but the smiles and gentle words. I kept mistreating you so you will finally hate me as I wish.”
The girl stopped dead in her tracks hearing the nonsense he said. “You are a psychopath!” she shouted. “Get me out of here! You sick psycho!”
“Never!” He replied. “I waited for too long. Now I will pick the fruit of my patience!”
He brought a chair and put an ebony leather bag on it. In the bag, there were torture instruments. Once the girl saw it, her blood ran cold. He looked at her blue face and smiled devilishly. Then, he took a knife out of the suitcase and cut her clothes. He stripped her slowly and gently, not giving attention to her cries and yells. Then he took a step away to gaze at her. After having a generous view of her naked body, he realized what he wanted to do first.
He took a multi-tailed whip out of the torture bag. It was a leather Cat Of Nine Tails.
"Don't," said Flora shaking, "My body won't be able to take it!""
"It will, sweetheart, it will. I will stop when I know you can't take any more. Be reassured!" replied Jack, smiling like a maniac.
Before hearing any other protest, he flogged her chest. She cried in agony. He looked amused by her cries to the point his laugh sometimes covered her violent shoutings. He wiped her five times. As a result, her white chest became swollen and full of red marks. He took a bondage out of the bag and caressed her wounds with alcohol. She yelled even more.
“Cry for me more, my muse. Cry for me! Yell! Moan! Your moans are music to my ear. How much was I starving for those diamond tears!” He laughed even more.
“YOU ARE A PSYCHOPATH !!” She shouted with disdain.
“Yes, I am.” He confessed .
And that was just the beginning of her hell.
Flora woke up the next morning to the sound of knocking on her chamber door.“Yes?!” She asked“Are you decent?”“A moment please.”Flora jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She knew the voice owner: That was the voice of Mr. Wolfgang! Flora changed her clothes and did her hair then she stood up in the middle of the chamber, head high, straight posture, and severe facial expression:“Please, come in.”Wolfgang came into the room and smirked looking at Flora: She tried to appear solemn and severe but the excitement in her eyes failed her:“How was your night, young lady?”“Cozy, thank you. How have you been, sir?”“You can call me Father. Or don’t. That silly son of mine shall marry you first.”Flora got as red as a cherry and she looked down shyly. He knew she was emotionally entangled with his adopted son! “Calm down Flora. Don’t mess it up this time.” She whispered to herself.“Mr. Wolfgang.” She said to him, “I want to talk with you.”“Here I am.”“First,
“Are you happy?” said Mielle. Cassius barely added a word after Claude left him and Mielle. He asked her to give him her seal and gun if she had any. Mielle took off the necklace she kept under her clothes. That necklace had a seal on it: The seal of a thorny rose. With that seal, Mielle has the access to the Brotherhood’s database and has the right to communicate with other members. Without a seal, she is just a hanged member who has no voice. Cassius was not afraid of her. Even if she asks for help, his position as enforcer will prevent her from getting any. Plus, he knew she didn’t want help. Mielle was far too proud to not accept the consequences of her free actions. But he respected the protocol. From the moment she is considered a sinner, to the moment she accepts redemption, Mielle shall stay isolated from the rest of the brotherhood to not spread her sins among them. It was ridiculous, but it was the law that protected this brotherhood for centuries. Mielle gave him her gu
Mielle, the witty coffee shop owner, is an assassin.Cassius, the kind guy, is an enforcer.The enforcer’s job in the Round Table was not complicated. He has to keep order. Every member of the secret society should respect his place, his mates, and the law. And Mielle just broke all of it. Cassius was an enforcer linked to Claude, and Mielle was the assassin linked to Claude. Claude was a knight. Which is a very advanced position. To each knight, the Round Table attributes a functional unit. In the unit, there is an assassin who shall enforce the knight’s orders outside the brotherhood. The Round Table attributes every knight an enforcer in charge of keeping order and punishing those going berserk, even if they were the knight himself.Mille acted without her master’s consent two times. The first time was on the Orient Express where she killed a mafia man: Mr. Fortnight, to avenge her family. The second was in the peace masquerade where she poisoned a guest: Mrs. Ilnero gives her fri
Roxanna was aware of the situation. The moment Cassius told her Claude was waiting for her. She nodded and spared herself successfully from the police. She walked into the study where Claude was smoking and greeted him:- I pay my respect to the glorious silver knight.- Welcome Miss La Rosa. Do me the honor of sharing a discussion.It was a bit dark inside. The smoke made the air thick and gloomy. Roxanna knew that Claude was angry. With his dominant posture and cruel face, he looked quite the dangerous. Claude sat in front of Roxanna and offered her a cigarette. She accepted it and smoked as well. Claude sighed and asked her, with a dry tone:- Long story short, are you the one who did it?- Would you punish the one who did it?- No. I want a painful death for that witch. Yet, choosing this time is just irrational.- It was not me Mr. Knightly. If it was me, I would admit it with no fear.- In that case, do you know who did it?- No, no one told me about something like that happeni
Flora felt nausea. What has she done?! Claude will kill her for this! He will damn kill her!Once they heard Bianca’s scream, Flora was about to run into the building and head to the ballroom, when Vlad caught her hand:“Stay here, I will go to enquire.”“Yes.”The moment Vlad disappeared, Ludovic appeared as if he was waiting for her to be alone. “So? Shall we go?”“What have you done?!”“Nothing. But it is a good occasion to run without Jack and Claude noticing us.”“No, I can’t! I didn’t tell Claude yet that I am going with you! I can’t just disappear again! That would be cruel and disrespectful!”Ludovic grabbed the woman’s arm and growled: “Do you want to meet Wolfgang or not?”“But…”“Yes or No?! Make a choice!”“Yes.”“Then let’s go. We have no time left. Soon the two men will get aware of your disappearance.”Ludovic took Flora to his car and ordered his men to act as secretly as possible. And so, when everyone was swallowing the shock of the unpredictable incident, Ludovic
Bianca screamed as her mother collapsed in the ballroom: “Mother! Mother! Wake up!!!”A line of black thick blood was coming out of the mouth of the unconscious woman. “Poison!” cried a lady “She is poisoned!”Claude came to the ballroom with Jack as soon as they heard the screaming:“Is that your doing?” Claude asked Jack the moment they got to the door.“No. Yours?”“No.”“Who then?”They didn’t need that answer for the moment. Instead, they approached the victim:“What the f*ck is this?” said Jack as he knelt beside the collapsed woman.“Oh! Mr. Black! Mother! Mother got poisoned!” responded Bianca crying.Claude ordered his men to call the police and an ambulance. But Jack said coldly as he examined the woman: “Order them to hurry and bring a doctor along. I do not think she can make it in more than an hour.”“Alright. Ladies and gentlemen, please do not leave your positions. Stay where you are until the police are here.”Inside, Claude was cursing. That was far away from being a
