Rae’s POV   The next morning after waking up I notice the rash has completely disappeared. I’m so relieved since I wont have to go back for another treatment. Again Jeong and two men showed up with the food. When I went to look, the water was fine but I saw those stupid green lights wiggling all over the bread again. “There’s no end to this.” Realizing I just said that out loud and notice Jeong only feet away watching me in the hallway.   I brush it off and grab two bowls of water and leave back to my spot giving Mary a bowl. After sitting down I heard someone clear their throat and when I looked Jeong had moved in the hallway towards the side of the cell where we sat. He then proceeded to toss two clean rolls my way and I caught them. Afterwards he walked off. Looking over the rolls they are fine and I hand one to Mary.   Mary nudges me “Looks like he’s got the hots for you.”   Annoyed “In his dream

Jeong’s POV   The water stops as she stands there in the shower stall. I quickly reach down grabbing the freshly washed garments that I placed earlier and walked over draping them on the divider. I’m close enough that I can see all the way down to her feet. She has a killer body. I see her face turn red. Is she allergic to this soap? The doctors told me she most defiantly wouldn’t be.   She holds her breasts with her right arm and hand while reaches back and grabs the clothes with her left still facing away from me. I can’t help but lick my lower lip as I watch her breasts bounce with the movement. I suddenly feel embarrassed after I realize what I’ve done and turn around trying to compose myself. When I turn back towards her I see she is already completely dressed. I throw up another chain around her wrists and begin taking her out. Once she hits the locker room the auto dryer kicks in and instantly dries her off. Whoever figured that out a

Jeong’s POV   Reading the orders I cant help but clench my fists wrinkling the papers. Even though the future heir was assassinated before he was ever born, it doesn’t change the fact that she murdered two ranking officials in what they deemed cold blood. They aren’t even considering her years of torture and their planned murder to justify it since she is considered property and not a living being. These pigs.   Looking over at the man seated in front of my desk I can’t help but want to shove this order down his throat. Mr Takvorian, one of the six high ranking officials over seeing the project. He is considered a national treasure, removing him from the face of the planet would start a war. “When do you plan on carrying out these orders?”   With a devious grin Mr Takvorian answers “No time like the present.”   I see the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree. “Very well.” Leaving the office I notic

Jeong’s POV   I found my two night guards hiding in the kitchen rolling dice. I let out all my pent up frustration in their direction while I lectured about deserting their post. They quickly started defending themselves claiming they only came into the kitchen to grab a quick bite to eat. “You think your hunger justifies leaving everything completely unguarded?”   My anger is getting the better of me and thought of the most fitting punishment. I now have them standing in the hallway on either side of my office door and a tray of fifty rolls each. “Since you were so hungry to leave your post together at the same time. You will each finish these rolls before day break. If you so much as toss one away or unable to finish all before the time limit, you will have to start all over again from square one.”   They act like this is a joke and not a punishment. I caught one of them rolling their eyes as they both grabbed a roll i

Jeong’s POV   I watch her eyes slowly open and can see her narrow her eyes slightly looking towards my feet. Her eyes quickly open as she sat up in a panic pushing herself against the wall in front of me. She’s trembling while she looks around the room in shock. Have I really done something truly awful towards her to warrant this reaction? Then I remember Zviad and his father, they must have done something last night.   I cast a chain around her wrists, I can tell she is about to go into a panic attack. Her chest is rising and falling rapidly, eyes wide, trembling and completely terrified. I don’t know what to say to calm her down, I’m not here to hurt her. I just want her safe.   I close my eyes and take in a deep breath before opening them again looking at her. “Please, I need you to calm down.” Her breathing stops. Still sitting there wide eyed but frozen stiff not adverting from my gaze. “I wont hurt you. I promise.”
