Yolanda chirped and I flared my nose, biting down my retort when I realized her tone did not have the malicious heat of the other workers lacing it. Anxiety clenched a cold fist around my heart as I ran my fingers through the dress, yelping when the woman poked me into the washroom, snatching off the lace of my undergarments unabashedly as liquid heat traveled up my neck and cheeks. ”We’ll have to get you ready quickly little one. Most of the other handmaidens have gotten their Ladies ready.” The woman sing-songed, clapping and mouthing off as the rush of hot water rained down around me before I shut it off, her garbled words harmonizing until it sounded more like her human alto than the ali

That is the short story of the romantic novel she had heard during her life in Indonesia. 'Bastard! I've never done those terrible things! I've never slept with anyone other than Hayden, my husband!

A complete absurdity! They were two women, and they were five huge men, is that unfair? Yes, I know. Cowardly? Also, I needed to do it, it would be simpler and quicker, cleaner, and leave fewer traces, so that's how it happened, they'd soon get over it, everyone has been mugged once in their life and gotten over it, except the little princess and queen of Ridgewood, but at least now they knew what the experience was like not being able to feel pity, maybe a little at seeing her mother unbalance and fall, but it was part of the process.

“One of the kitchen handmaids requests a word with you, Alpha.” I let out a slow breath, already feeling the tension curl deeper in my spine. “Send him in,” I muttered, pushing the parchments aside and sitting back in my chair. I expected the usual — a supply shortage, a dispute among staff, maybe even a spilled meal. But the second the young male handmaid stepped in, fidgeting with the hem of his apron and refusing to meet my eyes, I knew something was wrong. Very wrong. He hovered at the threshold, pale as a ghost, until I said. “Out. All of you. Now.”

Not wanting to read more about the poison, I tossed the book back to the stool and walked to the door as my stomach laid a complaint once again― the last straw that broke the Camel's back. Thankfully, guards and handmaids were already trooping out from their tents when the moon disappeared from the sky. I made my way to the kitchen and luckily met a few maidens who processed my request and helped me take back the delicious rib soup and roast fish, which I could not help but fall for, to my room.

Jane slammed the door shut in front of her. "No, my husband... he lives here," Aubrey pleaded with the police, her voice filled with desperation and anguish. "You have to come with us," the police officer replied, his tone devoid of sympathy. "Evan... Evan... Evan..." Aubrey's voice grew increasingly desperate as she cried out for the one person she believed in, the one person who had become her family. But Evan's study remained sealed shut, his absence a brutal reminder of her newfound isolation. Aubrey's once vibrant and hopeful dreams shattered into a million pieces. The fairy tale romance she had envisioned, where a prince had fallen in love with a maid and elevated her to the role of a

But she said nothing, merely turning on her heel and striding off down the corridor. As we walked, she introduced me to my new handmaidens, Elliana and Raya. They smiled at me with forced politeness, their eyes betraying a hint of curiosity mingled with apprehension. I returned their smiles with a nod of acknowledgment, my mind already drifting elsewhere. The weight of my new role pressed down upon me like a leaden cloak, suffocating me with its suffocating expectations. And then, without warning, the memories flooded back—the sight of Lucius, covered in blood, his hands stained with the lives he had taken. The fear that gripped me in its icy grasp, paralyzing me with its suffocating grip.

Adalia was not still from exhaustion of labor nor did she breathe a sigh of relief, she gave out her last breath. She was dead. An icy feeling snaked up from inside my stomach and clawed around my throat, squeezing mercilessly. I choked and coughed. How many more deaths did I have to see before I finally snapped and lost it?
