Shannon’s POVThe past few days were a reminder of how my life was before the Mayert triplets had decided to change their attitude towards me for no specific reason to date, they did it because they could. I used to think marriage was meant to be the apex for souls looking to be connected for a lifetime, a platform which they would use to strengthen their relationship and their bond against any formidable foe. It necessarily didn’t have to be born out of love but desire and willingness to achieve an expected outcome. This was the false hope that had been sold to me and I was so eager and so gullible to believe every word that had been said to me and I gobbled it up with ease, not bothering to doubt anything they had said for one second. The prospect of being mated was too much for me to ignore in the beginning. I barely saw any of them anymore aside from when I had to do a little bit of work for them. I wasn’t one to believe in coincidences or bad timings but ever since I walked in
Shannon’s POVMy plan had worked perfectly without any issues just as I predicted. I had gone through the process of making myself appear as calm as possible which wasn’t an easy feat for me given my temperament. But for the sake of my mother’s happiness, I was willing to put her desires before mine. The moment I heard she was finally getting married to Robin officially, I was stunned beyond measure. I couldn’t believe my ears and I knew that I had to see it for myself and that was why I was here to confirm if the marriage was real or if it was a sham and much to my shock, my mother was getting married and I couldn’t help but feel happy for her.She deserved this as much as anyone, Robin made her happy and it was pretty evident for everyone to see. My mother was rather overjoyed to talk in detail about the events that led to this moment and I could understand her excitement. I only knew that the marriage was going to happen and everything was being set in motion for it to be a succ
I made my way back into the house with the Mayert triplets trailing behind me. The house was practically empty at this point. The guests had all taken their leave and only the servants remained, cleaning up the mess they had made.I couldn’t believe that they had tried to make a scene out of that little exchange during the party and they had nearly embarrassed me, not that they cared about me or my feelings in the first place anyway. We made our way to the study and as soon as everyone made their way inside, Jules shut the door and immediately turned to question me as to why I had been conversing with a male friend alone.“I don’t see how that’s anyone’s business. I am a grown woman capable of making choices for myself.” I blurted out. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that they were getting incensed and jealous over such a simple conversation that didn’t have any lewd or flirty remarks. “You’re not just any woman, you’re going to be a Mayert any time from now, you’re our mate
I nodded and made my way inside the dressing room. Jules wasn’t wrong, the entire room was filled with different kinds of clothes just for me and the shocking part was that they were all tailored to fit me perfectly. I picked out something modest and comfortable to sleep in, feeling nervous about showing skin in a room filled with three men to which she already felt attracted. I shook her head, it wouldn’t be a good idea. I could feel her cheeks flaming as she pictured them making love to me. I groaned, pulling down the zipper of my dinner gown. It was going to be a very long night and to be honest with myself, I didn’t know how I was going to survive the night. Deep down, I knew that neither Ricky, Jules, or Cole felt attracted to me. So it served as some sort of consolation that nothing was going to happen tonight and in a few hours, this would be all over and I would be back to the comfort of my room. I emerged from the dressing room to find that the three of them had changed al
I could feel the headache building up as my eyelids fluttered open. I blinked severally trying to regain my consciousness properly. Ricky. Cole. Jules.That was the first thing that came to my head and I suddenly remembered what they had done to me late last night and I instantly felt repulsed. They tricked me and I fell for it. That was all I needed to know that I wasn’t safe here, I didn’t know what I was going to do now that I had agreed to stay back but all she knew was that she had to get far away from everything I knew about the Mayert triplets. I felt a pair of eyes on her and I eventually forced myself to look up to see Ricky standing above me. I didn’t know who or what he was anymore but he didn’t look scary and repulsive like his nature was, he looked like Ricky, the Ricky that I had made love to. The intensity of his gaze made me scared as I could feel the tears building up at the back of my eyes. I didn’t want to be here. If he would let me go, I wouldn’t say a word ab

Three days laterThe alarm chimed for the fourth time this morning and I snoozed it while tying my shoelace. I didn’t know how to turn it off because it was spoiled and I didn’t bother to replace it. I found it one time when I was coming home from school. It was not of good quality but it was the best I could find so I decided to take it back home and I brought it here with me when my mother and I moved to the Mayert mansion.Now, it chimed repeatedly every morning until it decided that it was ready to stop. I slept heavily last night and it was already past the time when I usually went to school. A heavy knot tightened in my stomach when I remembered what was waiting for me in school because I came late. I always liked to come super early so I could hide in the shadows, away from the bullies of my school but I didn’t get the privilege to wake up early every day.Today was one of those days, unfortunately. Ever since the Mayert triplets had tricked me into sleeping with them, I had be
Shannon’s POVAs her taunts escalated, I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness, trapped in the vicious cycle of her twisted games. She had gained some sadistic pleasure from my suffering that I don’t think I will ever understand. The way she switched on me was so surreal that I didn’t know what to make of it and I couldn’t wrap my head around how I managed to offend her. “Please,” I started to beg but before I could utter another one, she pushed me to the ground, and I hit my limbs on the hard concrete. I groaned as I tried to lift myself, but she wouldn’t allow me as she pressed me down with her leg.“This is what I do to people that defy me.” She said in a loud tone before she bent down to my level. She started to pry my shirt off my body. The crowd erupted into gasps as she managed to remove it, leaving me with only my bra.I closed my eyes as I heard my eyes sting but just when I was about to let the tears flow, a commanding voice sliced through the chaotic atmosphere. I tur
