All Chapters of The Naive Lady Is Gone: No Longer The Docile Fool: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Georgina's pov, ‘I need to come up with a plan’. I thought, before I heard the door open, and saw her return with a basin of water. The nice maidservant. She has been the one taking care of me throughout the morning when I fell sick, and up till now. She came to my side and sat on the edge of the bed, before she dipped a white dry towel into the basin. After squeezing the water out of the towel, she used it to gently wipe my face. “You have to get up, Madam. It's time to take your medicine”. She said, before she helped me sit up on the bed. But before she could go to the table to bring the medicine to me, I held her hand and stopped her. My action made her look back at me, stunned. “Is there something-”. “I have a favor to ask of you”. I said to her with hopeful eyes, and did not even let her finish talking. But after saying that to her, only then did I slowly let go of her hand, as I added, “Please”. She had an uncertain look in her eyes, before she sighed and said, “Alri

“Make him kneel before me”. I commanded, and right at that instant, he was forced to his knees and pressed down repeatedly when he tried to stand up. “How dare you humiliate me in my own mansion, Marvin?! Are you not afraid of the consequences?!”. He yelled at me, with his face frowning and looking like he wanted to rip me apart.I sneered at him, because the expression on his face was laughable. Also his words, which hit something in my nerves and made me rise from the sofa as I stood in front of him and looked down on him. “Consequences? Me? Afraid of consequences?”. I asked, before I squatted and grabbed his neck. “I think you must have forgotten who I am”. I added while staring into his eyes, as my hand gripped his neck tightly, ready to break it if I must. “Ack!”. He began to gasp for air and grabbed my hand tightly, as he tried to break free. But even as his fingers dipped into my flesh, and even after blood began to drip on the ground, I ignored the pain and refused to le

Claire's pov,I was inside my room. More like, I had locked myself in after being questioned by my father. He had seen the news about my accident, and kept on questioning me if I had done that on purpose. I had to deny the truth, of course. I could not possibly tell him that I had put myself in harm's way just because I wanted Marvin’s attention. The same attention I did not want anymore. He was a dangerous man, and I was lucky enough to get away from him unscathed. But there might not be a next time. In that case, I must be smart enough not to cross paths with him again. But that didn't mean I would stop tormenting that jinx. As long as she was alive, I wouldn't cease ruining her life! Anytime I thought of her, I could not help but get angry, because I hated the fact that everything my father owned once belonged to her mother. That was a big slap to my face, and it was something I could not bear to live with. With her being alive, I was afraid the truth might come to light on

As I continued to stare at him, the threat of that day replayed inside my head. He said the next time he came, it was going to be my funeral. And this was the first time I had seen him since the time he slapped me across my cheek. “Ack”. I swallowed the invisible lump in my throat as his eyes met mine. It was sudden and made me feel like my spirit jumped out of my body and returned. I immediately turned my face away from him, but when I glanced in his direction, my eyes widened when I saw him walking towards us. I opened my mouth but could not bring myself to say something. “What's wrong?”. Marvin asked me, but I could not reply to him.“Is it because of him?”. He asked after noticing who I was staring at. But still, I remained quiet and looked terrified. “Wait here for me and don't go anywhere”. He said, before he rose from his seat and walked forward to meet him. After he left, no one needed to tell me anything. I didn't even think about it. I just acted as fast as I could.

Marvin’s pov, The further the boat got away, the harsher the veins in my neck popped out as I tried to shake him off me. Because of him, she was getting away from me!“Get off!”. I kicked him, and he fell to the ground. I turned to the boat. “Georgina!!”. I yelled her name and wanted to get into the water, but he did not give up yet and grabbed me again. “I- I won't let you get your hands on her again! I will never let that happen, even if I die!”. He said, and I grabbed his neck and glared into his eyes. He was bleeding in his nose, with his eyes swollen. But for some reason, he had the strength to stop my bodyguards and hold me back from getting my wife. “What is your problem?!”. My hand around his neck tightened. The anger and frustration in me was a second away from snapping his neck off his body. He chuckled. “My problem is that you should get your filthy hands off her! Do you understand, Marvin?!”. I furrowed my brows and punched his face. After that, I drew him closer t
