I threw the ridiculous crown of branches and flowers on the bed and tear the dress from the hem out of frustration and grief, screaming in anger. My new maids got so scared that all of them ran outside the room with fear in their eyes, not wanting me to vent these feelings on them.I look at the wide mirror in front of me, the black pigment on my eyes had already melted down my cheeks because of the incessant tears that keep on flowing from my swelling eyes. But even before I break down into another scream again, the door opened and Phillius stormed inside the room, his eyes are darkened by the deep furrow of his eyebrows his lips stretched into a straight line. My heart suddenly froze in fear but I didn’t flinch from him when he walk towards me in heavy steps and grab me by my neck to look closely at my anguished face.“ENOUGH OF THIS, SAPPHIRE! There is no one to save you from here, anymore. You are all mine now! Remember that! MINE !!!” he growled at me, baring his teeth, and then

I tried to look my best to let Phillius think I am not affected by what he had done to me last night and the food and the warm bath helped to lift my mood to do what he wants me to do today. Wearing a light blue dress with flowers embroidered on the hem, I chose to wear a sunglass with it today to hide the emotion in my eyes from Phillius. The brightness of the sun made a good excuse for me to use it so no matter how many times he raises his eyebrow at me every time he gazes at my face, he just lets me have it just so as not to start our day with another argument.“You look wonderful today, love. I wish I had come back with you last night but I had an emergency meeting with the Vegas Clan and I had to stay the whole night to solve that problem.” He whispered to me after we get inside his limousine and the chauffeur started driving the car to wherever Phillius wanted to take me.He gave me a teasing smile and took my hand to kiss it. The shackles that bound my hand clang at each other

“I’m so sorry for what happened to you…”I wiped Fae’s face with a wet towel washed with soap and I feel bad that I have been feeling scared to look at his eyes. He is just so thin his skin just sticks on his bones and his lips are stretched back from his protruding teeth.After begging Phillius to let me take care of the Fae, I brought all the stuff I need and food and drinks for the poor prisoner and feed him early in the morning. The sky is clear above the sky and maybe I would appreciate it more, only if there are no shackles around my hands and neck.When I got into the dungeon, I won’t lie but I still feel the dread in my chest, remembering the horrible things I experienced and witnessed here. When I step my foot on the stair, the dread came back to me, and the cries and screams of Hazel made me hesitate to enter this awful place. But I have to. The Fae needs me and I have to take care of him because he’s the key for me to remembering everything from my past.“I could do this… I

The thought never leaves my mind.It’s like a hundred needles pinning my brain, making me restless as I curl myself in the middle of the bed, wishing that it is Xeno they are talking about. I saw how Phillius reacted when the man whispered that news to him and I know he’s more threatened now that Xeno survived whatever he did to him. I knew he’ll come back. I knew he won’t let Phillius do these vile things and take over to spread more dread in their Clan.I could see that Kelly knows what happened to him and I wish I could use my powers to create a barrier where no one would ever hear whatever the two of us talk about Xeno’s situation. But I don’t think she would have the dare to tell me though. I saw the fear in her eyes when she was behind Phillius at that moment and I understand because she doesn’t want to get her family involved in any of this fight between Xeno and him. She won’t risk their safety especially when she’s the only one who could protect them.Despite my desperation f

Mr. Rivera cleared his throat and put down the bottle on the table gently, his exuberant mood suddenly changed after he saw the distress in my eyes. But the smile is still on his lips is still there, trying to ease the anxiety in me while he continued the conversation with Phillius.“I have heard that you stopped the operation for a month, Phillius. Where is Xeno by the way? He’s the to be in charge of it,” Mr. Rivera asks, looking left to right as if he would find Xeno if he did that. His mouth arched downward and he put both of his arms up, leaning his head and waiting for Phillius’s answer.I look down on Phillius with so much hatred in my eyes. I am aware that my expression is too obvious but it’s too hard for me not to react because I know he’ll make another lie to cover all the awful things he had done since I came here to this mansion. His selfishness and his lies are beyond forgiveness but I couldn’t act against him. With my power sensing Felrim’s life force inside the dungeon
