Angelica's father started to act more and more strangely after he told her to never meet the King again. He also stopped her brother from going to his lectures at the castle and told them to never leave the home. Meanwhile, he came home late every night, intoxicated.

He would yell a few words no one could understand, and then he would pass out. Angelica was worried for her father and asked him several times what had happened to him, but he always seemed too frightened to tell her. After that night when he first came home drunk, whatever he had seen had been haunting him. But why couldn't he tell them what he saw?

Thomas, who went out unlike her and William, would tell her about what happened outside the walls of their home. More young women were found dead, and no one knew what or who was killing them. The people of the town believed it was Lord Rayven. Why she wasn't sure?

"Do you think Lord Rayven is the killer?" Angelica asked her brother while they had lunch.

"No," he said. "People don't really believe he is the killer. They just think he is the cause of their deaths."

"How?"

"Do you know that Rayven is his first name and not his last name?"

Angelica shook her head. She didn't know that.

"He has no last name. They say his family disowned him because he was a bad omen. That is why he got the name Rayven."

Ravens were a symbol of bad luck. How sad for his family to believe he was bad luck and even give him such a name. She wondered if his family was the reason he hated people.

"Angelica, please do something. I am suffocating here." William said.

Angelica was suffocating as well, but she didn't know what to do. She couldn't defy her father's orders and going out alone wasn't safe either. The only time she could go against her father's orders would be if the King asked to see her, but a week had passed and she hadn't heard from him. She couldn't believe that she actually hoped to hear from him.

"Father will calm down eventually." She assured her brother.

"What is he afraid of?" she asked.

"What are humans afraid of?" Her brother asked in turn. "The unknown. Whatever they don't understand frightens them. It becomes a threat."

A threat?

Angelica became concerned that her father would do something stupid to eliminate whatever he thought was a threat. He did say he would do something. She felt like he would put himself in danger. She had to speak to him before that.

"I'll go talk to father," she said, standing up.

William said nothing as she left.

On her way to her father's room, she heard his voice and another familiar voice coming from their garden. She went to see who her father was talking to, but as she neared, she recognized the voice. It belonged to Sir Shaw. What was he doing here?

Angelica did not like the man. He didn't know what the word "no" meant. Hopefully, he wasn't here to convince her to marry him again.

Before she could turn around and sneak back, her father saw her. "Angelica, come here." He ordered, then turned back to Sir Shaw with a smile. "She is here."

Angelica clenched her jaw as she stepped outside and went to their table.

"Sir Shaw came here to see you." Her father said, looking happy as if delivering good news.

Angelica forced a slight smile as she turned to him, "good evening, Sir."

"Good evening, Lady Davis," he smirked, eyeing her.

"Sit!" Her father ordered and Angelica complied. "I'll leave you two alone to chat." he then said, standing up from his seat.

Angelica clenched her hands under the table. She was very uncomfortable with Sir Shaw. She would rather be with the King.

Sir Shaw was a respected knight. He was in his mid-twenties and quiet handsome. His golden curly hair reached right beneath his earlobe and his round eyes were bright and brown. His face was slim but sculpted and his body was one of a fighter. If it wasn't for his terrible character, she might have enjoyed his company.

"You don't look happy to see me," Sir Shaw spoke once her father left.

"Sir Shaw, I already told you…"

"I know," he cut her off, leaning over the table. "But you know I won't give up on you. Don't you want someone who fights for you like I do? I am not stopping until you become mine."

Angelica frowned. He was getting more determined each day and it was both worrying and disturbing.

"You will be trying forever, Sir Shaw. My decision won't change."

"Then I guess you will become mine, despite your decision. Your father has already agreed," he smirked.

He was also getting bolder; she realized.

Angelica stood up hastily from her seat before looking down at him. "I will never be yours, Sir Shaw." She said with certainty.

That only seemed to amuse him. Angelica guessed that he somehow liked the chase. It excited him and repulsed her. Without waiting for a reply, she turned around and went to her room, locking the door behind her. What was her father trying to do? Would he now force her to marry Sir Shaw? And why did he suddenly change his mind about the King?

Angelica would rather marry the King than Sir Shaw. The king frightened her, but Sir Shaw disgusted her.

Feeling uneasy, Angelica paced back and forth in her room. Just what was her father up to? How could she get out of this mess? Sir Shaw wasn't one to change his mind or be scared off and now that her father sided with him, she was doomed.

"Angelica!"

Oh no! Now he would scold her for misbehaving.

He knocked loudly. "Open the door!"

Angelica opened the door just to be met by her father's bright red face. He was fuming with anger.

"I'm getting tired of you. I have spoiled you enough, but now you will do as I say. You will marry Sir Shaw." He said with finality.

"Father, I don't want to."

"And I don't care. You will do as I say." He said between clenched teeth.

"And if I don't?"

His nostrils flared and his eyes widened to intimidate her.

"If you want to stay in my house and with your brother, you will do as I say."

    Undress?Angelica's mind wandered away, going anywhere but this place she was in. She thought of her mother and the life she had wished for her. She thought of her greedy father. Even he wouldn't want her to be in this situation and lastly, she thought of her brother. What would he think of this? What would he think of what she had become? She had fought hard for him and herself. But this wasn't the kind of fighting she wanted to do. She didn't want to endure this every day, selfish as it might sound. She knew leaving this place could be more dangerous and possibly lead to her death, leaving her brother completely alone. But she couldn't stop herself from being selfish. She couldn't stop herself from wanting something more and not surrendering to this. Turning her gaze she looked at the man in front of her who seemed to be losing his patience when she did nothing. "It will be easier for you if we get along, Angel." He said. Angel? She became nauseous at the way it sounded coming

    After breathing in some fresh air, Angelica went back inside. She followed the sound of the women chattering and came to a room where a few women sat at a table, eating food. Her eyes searched for Valeria but she wasn't there. The only other person she recognized was Mina. "Angelica," she smiled and waved when she saw her. "Come in." All the other women looked her way as she hesitantly stepped into the room. The smell of food made her stomach growl. "This is Angelica ladies," Mina told the other women and then patted on the seat next to her. Angelica went to sit down while feeling everyone's eyes on her. It was very quiet as she sat down but soon the chattering started again. Some of the women sitting closer to the table introduced themselves and then they were curious about her and began to ask a lot of questions. Questions like how she got here, how she kept her hair and skin looking beautiful, how life was as a noble lady, and much more. Angelica patiently answered all of thei

    After crying the rest of the evening and then pitying herself the first half of the night, Angelica began to do some thinking on the second half. At first, she kept thinking and imagining what would happen from here on. She became more and more scared the more she thought about it. Then she began to think about what she could do to get through this. But how would she know if she didn't exactly know what she would have to get through? And lastly, she thought of good reasons to accept her fate, when she was tired of looking for other solutions that didn't exist, worrying, and being scared.Here she would have shelter and food, be able to pay her father's debt off quicker, and maybe even save some money for William. But how would her reputation now affect him? It was enough that he was a traitor's son, now he was a ….She couldn't bring herself to say the word. She ruined things for him. All this time she tried to protect him but she ended up here instead. Removing the sheets away from

    "Where are you taking me?" Angelica asked. "I am sure you know since you tried to run away." Said the man sitting to her left and holding the dagger. "I don't want to." She said. The man nodded. "I can see that. It is hard to accept but you will get used to it." Used to it? The man sitting across from her studied her face and let his gaze rake her body. "You would make a lot of money." He said as if that should be some kind of consolation. "A lot." The other one emphasized. The one with the dagger nodded again. "You will do well, Angelica. You won't even have to try. In no time you will be able to pay back Lord Green." He told her. These men...she couldn't believe it. They were talking so casually about it as if she was just going to do any other kind of work. Perhaps it was any other kind of work for them. Angelica shook her head, feeling the tears burn her eyes. She was not going to cry in front of these men. No! But the tears fought against her and one fell slowly down he

    A week passed since Angelica came to Lord Greens' house. The chores became easier the more she learned, and she became close with the other maids. She was surprised by how much she could learn in such a short amount of time and she somehow enjoyed doing work. It didn't feel like she was wasting her day trying to figure out what to do or how to spend the rest of her day. The only thing she missed was her books and the thing she would probably never miss was her fancy dresses that crushed her ribs. And of course, she missed her brother the most. She wondered how he was doing? Angelica thought of trying to find a way to send him a letter and let him know she was alright. She wanted to know how he was doing. Was he eating well? Sleeping well? Were people being very harsh to him? The coffee almost boiled over while she was lost in thought. She quickly removed it from the fire and poured it in a cup to take it to Lord Green. He always liked to have a cup of coffee every afternoon. Lord G

    Angelica sat near the window and stared at the horizon watching the sunset. The women dying in her town seemed to stop for some time and then start again. She didn't only have the townspeople to worry about now, but also a killer roaming free and killing women of her age. She wasn't safe anywhere. Hopefully, soon she would be married and move to the other side of the town, where Lord Scott lived. Natasha would let him know she agreed to the marriage. The door to the room was opened after a knock and Natasha stepped inside. She had a frown on her face. "Sir Shaw is here looking for you," she said. Sir Shaw? Why could he be looking for her? Did he perhaps change his mind? Angelica left her window to go see why he was here. When she arrived at the parlor she saw that he wasn't alone. He came with another man. Angelica had seen the man somewhere but she couldn't recall exactly where. Perhaps she had seen him with her father? The man introduced himself as Lord Green. He was a busin
