The Rule Of Four Novel Novels & Stories

Chapter 8 Tina I couldn’t tell you how long it had been since I last had freedom, something so huge that I took for granted. If I ever got out of here, I would never take it for granted again. I was now on my fourth “buyer”. Each one was worse than the one before. This time, I was stuck in a cage in a basement. The basement was full of cages, a woman stuck in each one. There were 8 of us that I could see. The only bright side of this one was that I had other people to talk to. I’ve spent around 2-3 years stuck with just the men that have bought me, I haven’t actually seen another woman since I had been taken by Harrison. I hadn’t heard about him in years.

His face pale. “No…” “This isn’t possible.” Ayesha grabbed his arm. “What isn’t possible?” The Keeper swallowed hard. 🌑 “That page was removed from existence.” “Nobody should be able to see it.” 😨 The room became silent.

“Sleep. Tomorrow, Daria will show you the estate boundaries. Cross them, and I’ll assume you’re trying to escape.” “Rule four?” His lips twitched. “Rule four is: Don’t touch my things. That includes my books, my office, and my men.” He dropped his hand and left without another word. I touched the spot under my eye. My skin burned where he’d touched me. 364 days left. Rule one: Don’t fall in love with me. Rule two: Don’t lie. Rule three: No privacy. Rule four: Don’t touch his things. He’d given me four rules in one night. How many would he have by day 365?

“Seriously, you look hilarious when you’re trying to be serious.” “But—” I tried to cut in, but the words got stuck in my throat. Instead, my brain started replaying memories of the old Phoenix—Mr. Perfect Rules, the guy who snapped when anyone so much as bent the law of his universe. He always called me a rebellious brat, a walking headache who created chaos for him to clean up. And now… now I’ve got four mates. Four! I can’t even imagine how he’s gonna react when he finds out.

"I'm begging you, Caleb! You have to come out right now! It's a huge fire! I can't open the door since it's locked! "You have to do something, Caleb! You're a firefighter! You can't just stand by and watch—that's intentional homicide!" She kept shouting profanities, hurling every insult she could think of at me. I could picture exactly how chaotic the scene was outside my door. I was aware that the person asking for help was the very one who had pushed me into the abyss, but my instincts were built on breaching, firefighting, and rescue. I subconsciously rushed to the door, my hand already gripping the cold doorknob.

I appreciated that more than I probably should have. The library was behind a set of heavy doors at the end of a corridor I hadn't seen before. The room was massive, with bookshelves climbing all the way to the ceiling and a fire crackling low in a stone hearth. Someone had already set up a table in the center with stacks of old texts piled high. Kaelith picked up a book with a cracked spine. "These are the forbidden ones. Histories the fae courts tried to destroy centuries ago."

It. He ruined my peaceful life. He keeps bugging me. He made me fall in love with him. And in the end, he broke my heart into a million pieces. Chapter 01: An Introvert Jasmine Reign's POV "Honey! Abigail and Christian are here now!" my mom shouted from downstairs. Oh great. Day one of the school year. Cue the chaos. And judging by the pitch in her voice, it’s already off to a loud start. This is going to be a long, exhausting, probably regret-filled day.

I asked, he was very weird and I wasn’t sure what I felt of him. Raphael only stares hard at me and before I know it, he is on his feet and he makes his way towards me, I stare at the weird boy sceptically, what was he planning to do? He stops at my table and plops down on the seat opposite me. “It’s ridiculous that we are sitting on different tables when we are still three feet apart like this” He said and I stared at him in confusion. “So you realise your stupid rule is ridiculous?” I scoffed. “Why even three feet, what…” I stop mid speech as Raphael stretches his hand across the table and wipes the side of my lips with his finger.

“I understand my queen the ritual is too long and demands a lot of time from the royals. But it is a ritual that was placed in the books of the god to ensure that all the concubines receive the love they deserve at least once. The ritual has been written under the royal oath as well, and you as the rightful queen need to ensure that the rules and rituals of the kingdom are followed to maintain the peace and prosperity of the kingdom.” I lie on the bed draped in a transparent white gown that leaves very little to the imagination.
