Daemon“I need to head home, please. You’ve made your point and I’ve understood my place and I know that I have no worth to you or any of your friends. Can you stop acting like this?”"No. You will give me orders, do I make myself clear?" My voice was detached and void of emotions.“I was only trying to say that you are not—“"You need to keep whatever you want to say, Julienne. I don’t need to hear anything from you because I can't do this anymore. Whatever you think we have, it has to stop now and for both our sakes, it would be best if we don't mess with each other again."I couldn't afford to slip up like my father did. Everyone in the family was looking up to me. I could trade my revenge just for a girl I could never have because of how different we were in societal class and everything else that involved the both of us as a person. “It might not mean a lot to you but I had seen this coming, the signs were there but I never thought it would end so soon. But after thinking about

JulienneIt’s been two weeks and four days since the incident at the club happened and ever since then, I’ve not had a proper conversation with Daemon except when it was necessary and I couldn't escape it. Our conversation consisted mainly of exchanging greetings and mumbling a few words during the few things we found ourselves at the dinner table or we came across each other in the hallway or the garden. Every time I saw him, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the man who said those hurtful words to me at the club. The words were ingrained in my head and for a moment, I’d allowed myself to be deluded with the fact that maybe, just maybe Daemon was going to treat me as a person and not an item that he owned but I was quickly brought back to reality as he made me understand that I had no value, to him, to anyone and the world at large. I spent the first week crying and cursing my luck and my mother for putting me in this situation. This wasn’t life, I had nothing to do except wait

JulienneThe cab stopped in front of the large metal gate and the money I had wasn’t enough to cover the total fare but the cab driver took pity on me. “Consider this my show of good faith. I know what it’s like to have your life being messed up and I hope you find a way to get your revenge.” The cab driver said as he gave me a salute. I gave him a grateful smile as I alighted from the cab and watched as he turned around and disappeared down the road. “You tricked me, miss.” I heard the guard’s voice as he spoke to me harshly, feeling betrayed. I turned around slowly to find him glaring at me. “I passed the instruction I was given, anything that happened in there had nothing to do with me,” I replied. “Give me one good reason why I should let you in here.” He said.“Because you don’t have a choice and that’s it. I can stay here all night but you need to think about what Mr. Daemon would do to you when he finds out that you kept me out here all night.”That was all I needed to sa

JulienneDespite Daemon’s warning or should I call it his talk of assurance? Whatever it was, I couldn’t bring myself to believe his words and no matter how hard I tried, it didn’t work. I wanted things to be done quickly without any breaks in between so I could have my life back and get as far away as possible from all of them. Everyday, I lost a part of myself and I didn’t know how long I had left before I lost it all completely. A couple of weeks ago, Daemon had assured me that he was going to find my mother and set things straight but he didn’t. It took a big stroke of luck from my end to find my mother and I didn’t have his resources at my disposal. It got me thinking if Daemon truly wanted her to be found or if he wanted to keep me here for good. He was a bad man and bad men weren’t to be trusted, my father taught me that. Whatever it was he had going on, I didn’t want to sit around and wait for him—I had to take things into my own hands and sort this out. I found my mother
