Chapter 21Shattered LoyaltiesPeter’s mind was reeling as he stood in Tiffany’s opulent living room, his eyes fixed on Alex, Aurora’s best friend. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Alex, the person who had always stood by Aurora’s side, was now working with Tiffany, the woman determined to bring Aurora down. His heart pounded in his chest, and he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Alex, what are you doing?”Alex met Peter’s gaze with a cold, detached expression. Gone was the warm, caring friend that Peter once knew. “I’m doing what I should’ve done a long time ago, Peter. I’m punishing Aurora for what she did to me.”Peter’s confusion deepened. Aurora and Alex had been inseparable, their bond seemingly unbreakable. What could have possibly happened to make Alex turn against her? “Punish her? What are you talking about? Aurora never did anything to hurt you!”Tiffany, who had been silently watching the tension build between the two men, took a step forward, her lips curling into a si

Chapter 23The Devil’s GameI was dragged to the preparation room at least that’s what Dominique called it. Two guards gripped my arms tightly, their faces cold and expressionless as they hauled me down the narrow hallway. My heart pounded in my chest, fear curling around my spine like a vice. The cold walls of the estate felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with each step we took toward my unknown fate.When we reached the room, the guards threw me inside with no regard for my well-being. I stumbled onto the hard, cold floor, catching myself just in time before slamming face-first into the ground. The door slammed shut behind me with a hollow clang, leaving me alone in darkness. A single dim bulb flickered above, casting eerie shadows around the room.I heard one of the guards mutter something before they left, "It’s a pity you angered the boss. Let’s see if you survive this." A shiver ran down my spine as the weight of their words settled in. Survive what? What could be

Chapter 25Betrayal and Broken HeartsPeter stood in the dim hallway, his mind swirling with thoughts of betrayal and loyalty. He had always been torn between his affection for Aurora and his growing involvement with Tiffany and Alex. Yet, the pressure had become too much to bear. After long deliberation, he made up his mind. If Tiffany promised to keep Aurora safe, he would join them. It wasn’t ideal, but maybe this was the only way to protect her in the end.As Peter descended the grand staircase, the faint sound of laughter echoed from the living room below. His stomach churned when he saw Tiffany and Alex seated on the couch, laughing heartily, as if they were old friends celebrating a minor victory. It felt wrong this alliance, this plan to hurt Aurora. Yet, he couldn’t turn back now.Tiffany looked up as Peter entered, her smile widening into something almost predatory. "Peter," she cooed, "have you made up your mind?"Peter stood stiffly, his gaze shifting between Tiffany and A

Chapter 28Deeper into the Devil's LairThe tension was thick in the air as I stood in the hallway, barely holding my composure after my encounter with Veronica,which led to my punishment in the preparation room.“What are you slaves doing here” her voice laced with sacarsm “gossiping huh”“Good morning ma, we are just talking, uhh Aurora let's leave”. Amelia apologized on my behalf, as she tried to drag me away.I stopped Amelia from dragging me and I faced Veronica, “I don't know why you are acting so proud,when deep down you know you are only Dominique play thing. Even you your self know that you are not his girlfriend talkless of his finance.So stop been a bitch and act as a preson if not you would get a reaction befitting for an animal you are”I said with so much anger. I know how long I have waited I say those words to her. She stood shocked at the fact that I could say those words to her. Her arrogance had finally pushed me too far, and the words I had been bottling up for s

Chapter 30 Into the Lion's DenAfter Damian intervened and saved me from Dominique’s wrath, I knew deep down that Dominique wouldn’t let it slide. His ego was bruised, and I had defied him not once, but twice. Though I was temporarily free from his punishment, it felt like I was walking on thin ice, waiting for it to crack beneath me.Damian’s words still echoed in my mind. He had told both me and Amelia to focus on our duties as slaves and keep our mouths shut if we wanted to stay out of trouble. It was a stark reminder of where we stood in the Blackwood mansion. No matter what transpired, we were just pieces in a larger, more dangerous game.So, Amelia and I moved on, burying ourselves in work, scrubbing floors, cleaning rooms, and avoiding eye contact with anyone who might be looking for an excuse to make trouble for us. But my mind couldn’t rest. I was on edge, always looking over my shoulder, expecting Dominique to make good on his promise of revenge.It was during one of the
