Chapter 8~Luther~ScrrrrrrrrMy alarm blared noisily as my eyes fluttered open. “Shut up!” I growled, hitting the alarm aggressively.“Arghh!” I groaned, scattering my hair aggressively. I hated mornings, they reminded me of work.“Morning my lord, how was your night?” Aria, one of my whores said, rubbing my chest seductively. “One more time?” She asked, her hands trailing near my crotch.“Get your hands off me, now!” I growled, jumping down from the bed as I walked towards my wine stand.It was morning already and I had a whole lot to achieve, a whole menace to cause.“Ahh! This is more like it,” I moaned, closing my eyes as the bitter-sweet aftertaste of the alcohol hit my tongue.‘A morning without alcohol isn't worth it,’ so my father said. “Morning, my love,” Aria, my whore said as she approached me stark naked. I had been on a marathon since last night and I was no longer in the mood for any frivolity.“My legs feel sore, my lord, you are a monster,” she said, caressing my ch
Chapter 9~Emily~“What do you think you are doing?” Rowan's voice came again, this time laced with anger and venom.“Today is your lucky day,” Luther whispered, an evil smile on his face as he released me. “See you some other time,” he added, walking away with both hands in his pocket.Rowan immediately rushed towards me. “Are you ok? Did he hurt you?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.“I-i’m fin…..” I couldn't complete my words before losing consciousness.__________“Look, it's a boat,” I squealed, running towards the beach. “Steph, look.”Steph was behind me, playing with the beach sand as she struggled to make a sand castle. “Come on, Steph,” I called, grinning from ear to ear as I got on the boat. “Steph,” I called, turning back but she was nowhere to be found. “Steph!” I muttered, my eyes darting back and forth.“Die!” She suddenly yelled, pushing me off the boat before I jerked up.“Huh!” I groaned, flickering my eyes open. “Where am I?” I asked, my eyes darting back a
Chapter 10~Steph~“Morning sis,” I mumbled, styling my hair backwards as I stared at Emily dashing to the bathroom. “How are you always up before me?” She shouted, making me chuckle. After about a minute, I was done styling my hair. “What next?” I muttered, my eyes darting back and forth.“Yes, my sketch pad,” I squealed as I dashed to my wardrobe in search of it.Today threatened to be challenging, one more day with Crystal in the normal kitchen was surely more frustrating than dining with a serpent.“You're a lowly excuse for a human,” her voice echoed in my head. Weeks ago, her words were surely bound to get me curled up behind the castle, crying my eyes out.But since I met him, her words have had no impact on me anymore. I guess I grew up to be stronger just like he advised.Flashback “How dare you?” Crystal barked, her eyes blazing like primal fire. “I'm sorry ma’am,” I begged, my eyes downcast as I wriggled my fingers nervously.“Sorry for your pitiful human self,” she spa
Chapter 11~Emily~“Am I not talking to you? Are you deaf?” Reta barked, her voice filled with venom.“Fuck, I hate this bitch,” I muttered underneath my breath as I turned, a small smile on my face.She walked closer, her long dark hair dangling back and forth. Crystal was behind her as usual, her face twisted in a frown.“I'm sorry, my lady, I didn't quite hea……”Her hand landed on my face sharply, cutting me off before I could finish. “You swine, how dare you?” She barked, her eyes blazing like primal fire.I held my cheeks tightly, tears welled up in my eyes. Her palm left a red mark on my face and it hurt as much as a bee sting.“I need you to watch your back in this castle, cause I will make it a living hell for you,” she threatened, pointing her finger at me.Crystal remained silent, eyeing me maliciously. I bet she was the peddler of whatever gossip Reta heard.I tried to speak but I couldn't, it was as though my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth.Reta was still the kin
Chapter 12~Zayne~“I-i'm sorry,” I muttered but she didn't wait, she was gone before I could blink. I immediately touched my lips, a small smile on my face.“She's cute,” I muttered, smiling sheepishly as the thought of her running flashed through my mind.Her lips tasted like a mixture of grapes and strawberries. I loved the way she melted in my arms, like something I could break.“Gosh, focus Zayne, focus,” I muttered, scattering my hair out of frustration. Suddenly the door burst open as Reta barged in with a guard trying to restrain her.“I'm sorry my lord, I tried to stop but she didn't listen,” the guard said, bowing his head slightly. “You scumbag,” Reta yelled as she landed a slap on his cheeks. “Next time you will pay respect to your future queen,” she growled.The guard immediately scurried away, holding his cheeks in the process. Poor thing, he got slapped for doing his job.“You didn't have to do that, he was just doing his job,” I muttered, pouring vodka in a glass.“D
Chapter 13~Emily~My heart felt a deep ache at the sight of them. I knew Reta was Zayne’s fiance but I couldn't help but feel a certain resentment towards their relationship. She had every right to kiss him, but as I watched them all I could feel was my heart shattering.She sat on Zayne’s lap, placing both her hands behind his head pulling him closer to her, her lips crushing against his. Their kiss was slap and lingering at first, a gentle exploration. I watched as Reta melted into him, feeling his body as his hands found their way to her waist, pulling her evr closer to him, their kiss deepening She pulled herself away from him, as she turned her head in my direction. Her piercing eyes staring through me almost as though she was mocking me, she had a sickening grin on her face. “Kkkkranggg”The thudding noise of the tray echoed through Zayne’s room. “Fuck!! “What is wrong with me, how could I drop the tray! “What is wrong with you, you lowly maid!” Reta barked at me, her
Chapter 14~Reta~“We need to handle this bitch!! “ I said my voice very firmly as I sat across Crystal. I take Crystal to be my best friend because she's the closest companion I have in the castle. We share similar ideas, beliefs and goals. We also share our problems and think of ways to handle them.“Yes I agree! Who does she think she is to walk into your castle and try to steal your fiance”Crystal said with disgust in her voice. She despised Emily just as much as I did. In fact most of us here at the Castle despise her and her sister, and if not for Zayne, they would die in an instant or be locked away for good. “We need to show her that I'm still Zayne’s lover, maybe then she can keep away from him”I suggested to Crystal as she paid keen attention, her lemon green eyes fixed at me and her gaze unwavering. “I have an idea!” Crystal said as a smile appeared on her face, I couldn't help but smile as well. Crystal is a very smart lady, the main reason I run to her for help, so
Chapter 15~Emily~Luther on hearing the voice stopped at once causing me a huge sigh of relief. He scrambled to sit up, his cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment. He dressed himself hurriedly. “Fuck you sis!” Steph’s voice came again this time with anger and ferocity. I turned my head in her direction, she stood at our door, her brows furrowed, she was raging inside. A pinch of guilt creeped inside me, although I didn't sleep with him, neither did I ever wish to, but on seeing her teary eyes I could not but pity for her.I had a bit of mix feelings, I was happy and relieved that Steph came, who knows what Luther would have done but I also hated it that Steph had to see this. “Steph! It's not what it looks like!” I said in hope, I had little faith that Steph would believe that. She was so sure before now that we were sleeping, seeing this would only strengthen her belief. “I hate you!” Steph screamed before dashing out again. “Steph! Wait!”I followed her at a distance le
