Semua Bab Ashes Between Us!: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Author's POVEmerald was sitting by the window of her bedroom, she was back where she escaped from.She is still amused how she didn't end up in the basement after pulling out so many stunts.Keeping her out isn't Egon's kindness, he has some motive behind it and she is yet to find out what.Things are fucked up in many ways, there is no way to fix and only a fool will think that it can be fixed but there are some feelings left behind which are hard to get rid of, she is still struggling to find the way to deal with it and Egon will never understand this.She looked at her ankles which are tied in heavy metal rings like an animal, this she didn't imagine this even in a wildest dream. From being a queen of a dark world to being a captive of the King. How she ended up there is twisted and chaotic. The only thing she knows that she could have done it in a better way.She was lost in her thoughts when Layla knocked on her door."Master wants to see you.""I am here, ask your master to see

Author's POVEmerald came downstairs from her room in the morning. She was feeling sleepy after tossing and turning the whole night. Layla's heavy breakfast wasn't helping either. She was getting used to sleeping on the floor. It is not difficult anymore. She just wanted to go back and crash into her bedsheets again but Egon won't allow it. He wants her downstairs for an important task. She told him where the gold and diamonds must be kept by the mad king, but they couldn't find the hidden chambers, so he wanted a map; no one knows that castle better than her. She is not sure if it's even there because she doesn't remember looting all these things from those families. She has never looted anything from anyone, and he doesn't believe in that. She believes in making people give it up at her feet, and that fun is better than looting people. She is sure that if they are looted then Mad king has done it, her father was certified psycho who used to do hidius things behind her back an

Author's POVEmerald kept quiet and stared at the table blankly in half-sleep, even though her heart was on fire; she was dying with anxiety inside. She will die if he forces her to kill Ruby, she has protected and shielded Ruby from the dark for her whole life, she still cries for not able to express her love towards her little sister openly, it was so hard to make your innocent sister's life hell but she had to do it with stone heart. Still, if he makes her kill her, then she will lose it. She was trying hard not to let him know that Ruby matters to her. Everyone thinks that Emerald hates Ruby and she prefers that. She was silently praying for Egon to think the same and leave her alone. "I'll take your permission, King..."Ruby started packing her bags while wiping her tears. She looked at Emerald, who wasn't even looking at her. Ruby has never been able to understand why Emerald hates her so much; her hate always broke her heart, but she still feels bad for her. "Queen__""Fuck

Author's POV Emerald looked at him when he pulled her onto his lap. he wasn't supposed to do this. Her body engulfed in his warmth, his traumatic yet alluring scent rushed adrenaline through her. This intimate moment is more intimidating. He was pissed but his face slowly changed when she didn't react to him pulling her closer. He gently touched her cheek and pushed back the strand of hair. His eyes softened. But Emerald will not fall for his trap, he is showing softness because he wants her to eat. After this, he will go back to his reality. He knows that his softness is her weakness and he will play with her feelings. He always does. Egon wrapped a hand around her waist and pulled the plate close to him. "How are we going to play this game if you give up so soon?"He placed the spoon of food on her lips."We haven't even started yet."She didn't open her mouth and he didn't pull it back. Both were stubborn. "You think this pain is unbearable?"He questioned, he was not mocking

Author's POVEmerald looked at Egon, her eyes filled with pain. She was silently asking him 'How can you do this?'Egon looked at her eyes with a soft smirk; his smirk was usually deeper, but now it wasn't. He is not so proud of himself for doing this, but he did it to hurt her. "Promised to ruin each and every thing, remember?"She looked ahead when he said that. He was auctioning her real estate, but with that, he was auctioning her personal things too. The gifts she received from her dear ones, the soft toys she played with, the jewellery which holds dear memories, her paintings which she has painted, and these are valuable for her. Each and everything holds a special place in her life, and Egon knows it. These secrets she shared with him with so much trust and this is how it turned out. She wasn't expecting him to play like this. Her glossy eyes wandered on things. She still remembers how she used to carry that long-eared rabbit soft toy all the time, how she has cherished tha
