SOPHIA. The flowery scents dominated by marigolds and daffodils wafted into my nose. I was flanked by two ladies dressed in pristine yellow dresses, a huge contrast from the white wedding gown I had on. Classic music played in the background as we made our procession towards the dais at the other end of the garden. Two little girls dressed in fuchsia pink, each blond and bearing a basket of flowers, sprinkled it around with bright, crooked smiles on their faces. My heeled foot stepped into the green carpet that served as a red carpet. Ironic, I know but this was a garden and the theme was mostly in natural colors. On either side of the makeshift aisle, there were seats filled up with people. My eyes scanned the area from my veil. I caught sight of Lady Hannah. She was seated right beside Darwin who had his arm booked around hers. He smiled brightly at me and my chest swelled with pride. I froze a bit when I caught sight of Savannah seated right beside Lady Hanna

SOPHIA.Our honeymoon had been nothing but a bliss. And Asher made sure of that. We had been through a lot in the past few months, and we thought it would be a good idea to spend sometime together while the kids wrapped up their academic year at the boarding school. I'd never walked in a dress as beautiful and exotic as this dress I had on. It was in the most beautiful shade of amethyst with golden threads sewn around the hem. Rhinestones were sewn into a beeline and my waist was left bare. It was hard to give this dress a name. It was a traditional dress, one whose name I had forgotten because I'd be too excited, giving it a look while the lady explained the origin of the dress to Asher who seemed quite hooked with what she was saying. It had a plunging neckline and its back was bare, leaving me almost naked if not for the long shawl-like flap covering my belly. A set of golden waist strings were attached to one end of the dress so that when I moved, you coul

TRIGGER WARNINGASHER. I stood by the river bank, watching as her body got attached to a bamboo shaft. The river led right into the seas on the east coast and after the required rituals had been carried out, she was pushed into the water and left to float away. I didn't wait another minute, just turned and walked back to my car. I had to fill this void somehow and going back and grieving wasn't going to do any of that. So I drove straight to the cells where Reed and the others were kept. It was located very close to the Palace. The guard who stood by the gare saw me and immediately stood to his feet, pulling the wrought iron gates open. "Where are the others?" "All in, Alpha," He replied, his voice laced with respect. "The execution is being planned as you have instructed." "Very good," I muttered under my breath before walking into the dungeons. This one was man made, built like a bunker but it was only filled with cells. It was a good thing I had inf

SOPHIA. I lay stark naked on the table, surrounded by candlelight, food and drinks. Asher was too concerned about my body to care about the food. He pushed a few plates aside and pressed his lips into my thighs, inhaling softly as the tip of my nose skimmed my skin. "Fuck. You smell nice as hell," He whispered as he dug his fingers into my dress and pressed a wet kiss against my upper thigh. His free hand rested on my buttocks, kneading and creating sweet sensations around my body. He didn't stop, even when the candle beside us began to burn out. "Do you want us to have dinner, huh?" He whispered hotly against my ears. "Or do you just want us to fuck." "I want you, Asher," I whimpered, feeling a wave of wanton need fill my whole body. "I don't want any of the food on the table. I did it so I could pull you out and apparently, food isn't what we want." He chuckled softly and lifted my gown over my buttocks. I heard him draw out a breath behind me. "Fuck. You're no

SOPHIA. Asher's car cruised to a halt in front of the tiny estate. After the trafficked women and children were saved, Asher had arranged for a house to be assigned to them and a few children who had no families to go back to were admitted into the small orphanage institution. We climbed out of the car and walked towards the wrought iron gates. It was pulled open and we walked through, making our way towards the institution. The staff led us to the common room where most of the kids sat, playing or poring over books. Majority of them recognized me as the woman who had been trafficked along with them and had saved them all from impending doom so when they saw me, they all rushed towards me and engulfed me in a hug tight enough to pull me to the ground. Asher caught me by the arm and held onto me while the kids peltered me with questions and in about an hour's time of spending time with them, we left the orphanage, but not without leaving an invitation for the staff about
