3 hours later:
She laid unconscious on the king sized bed. Her wrists were bandaged and her face was pale. She had been bathed and changed in a clean night gown by Archer, who was sitting on the stool beside her bed, examining her soft features, his demeanor was calm. Things were definitely the way he wanted them to be. He had her where he wanted her to be. He felt his lip
3 hours later:"My beautiful Tulip." He murmured softly, caressing her pale cheek. He took out the pendant from his pocket and tied it around her neck; the same pendant which he gifted her few years ago. He still remembered that day well.
(Past)It was a sunny day and Martha Zander Mitchell was happy to be outside. She smiled looking at her two months old daughter, Anna Zander Mitchell. When she was born, her husband, Don Zander Mitchell was the happiest person on the earth. He was ten times more protective now. And he had toned down his anger a lot in the last few months. Martha was actually happy. The amount of money that her husband had spent on their daughter in the last two months was way too much. When Martha tried to object Zander shut her up with one line.“She is our princess. She deserves much more than this.” Zander was out of State so Martha decided t
He took a long drag of cigar, threw it away and moved towards his table. He felt the rage bubbling up inside him on remembering his actions in the cellar.
After getting herself together Olivia left the dining hall in search of her step brother. She resented her father now but she could not bring herself to show any indifference to mere ten year old boy. It was not his fault. He does not deserve to suffer like this. After three hours of searching the first floor of mansion she did not find him. Her legs were aching but she did not stop her search. Archer, who was watching her through CCTV camera, was amused. He shook
The next morning when Olivia went to the dining hall she was surprised to see her step brother; the person that she least expected to be present there. Young Axel James looked up on seeing another presence in the hall. He did not remember meeting her ever as he was blindfolded at that night in the cellar. Olivia shivered involuntarily when those horrible memories flashed in front of her eyes. She gave him a queasy smile. Axel was too scared to notice her warm gesture. When maids served the breakfast he did not start eating. Before Olivia could tell him to eat Zale entered the room. Olivia remembered him. The third in command of
After five days Archer returned home. He felt the excitement bubble up inside him. He had missed Olivia. He could not wait to have some fun.Her sufferings extinguished the fire of revenge in his heart for some time. The anguish and pain that he had endured due to her departure was not even half of Olivia’s pain. She didn’t know that type of pain. But he had planned for her to at least feel some of it. She won’t find any peace, in the palace that had been constructed for her, unless she has walked at least half the path which he had been walking on for so many years. In his twisted mind she deserved to suffer.
Paralyzed she just looked up at him dumbfounded. “I asked you to do something Olivia.” “Please,” she begged.“Oh so you want music?” he asked, totally callous of her begging. He took out his phone and played some music on it. When she did not move from her spot he said, “So you want audience? Huh? Want other men's approval? We can totally arrange th
Archer drank the glass of Scotch and threw it away; breaking the glass into pieces. The alcohol was not helping him today. He took pride in controlling and locking away his emotions when needed but every time when it was Olivia’s matter he lost it. He wanted to kill her. It was scary for him. He threatened her with other men watching her because he knew that Olivia was too modest and she won’t allow it. He used her modesty; turning it into one of her weaknesses. ~``~Olivia was called for dinner that night by St
