ONYX'S POV; I went back to the party. Everyone had gone back to partying like a scene hadn't just happened. Cherry was standing with her friends and I walked towards where she stood, talking and laughing like she hadn't just ruined someone's night by humiliating them. On getting to where she stood, I tapped her, ignoring her friends that were smiling at me. I didn't like them. Bunch of spoilt kids who had no manners. Cherry turned to look at me and her laugh faded into a frown. "You're here to scold me, huh?" "I do not have the time to talk about that with you now. Follow me, we need to talk," "Talk about what, huh?" She asked as she placed her hand on her hip. "If you're going to make a scene here, I could end this party and send you up to your room since you don't know your place," She scoffed but she followed after me anyway. When we got to the terrace, I stopped and turned to cast her a stern glare. "You do not have a single respect for yours
SELAH'S POV; I was still seated in the car, waiting for my mother to return when I saw a car driving out of the gates. I frowned and immediately turned off the headlights to conceal the car from being seen. Who was going out of the palace by this time? I checked the time in the glove compartment area to see that it was just eleven. The party had barely started. Well, I recline my seat, laying low for s while and hoping that I could hide away without being seen. Just then, the car stopped and I felt my body get tense. What if it was one of the guards? If they saw me, I was doomed. The sound of a car door opening and shutting had me rushing towards the glove compartment and pulling it open as I frantically searched for the bottle of elixir glitter my mother had used on her face. She said it usually lasted for up to six hours before wearing off but I didn't care. Just then, I heard a loud knock on the window of the car. It was so raspy and I could read t
CHAPTER 78 HAZEL'S POV; My eyes cracked open and I was welcomed into another wave of darkness. I felt my body on a wet, cold floor and when I sat up, I felt water drip down the side of my arm. I winced in irritation and tried to wipe the goo off my arm. That was when I realized that I was bound. In panic, I tried to part my hands but it was strongly held together by chains that clinked as I tried to free myself. I immediately felt panic. My breathing increased rapidly and I felt goosebumps rise on my skin. What exactly had happened? Had I done something to annoy Onyx? He probably asked the guards to throw me into the dungeon. Suddenly, I felt a very sharp pain at the side of my head. I closed my eyes and turned my head to the side as I groaned in pain. I was having a headache. A very intense headache. Even with the headache, I tried to remember how things had ended last night. I remembered bumping into one of the maids sharing drinks and spilling it on
ONYX'S POV: I stayed awake all night and now, it was dawn and there was no news of her whereabouts. I was extremely worried and my body told me I was no matter how I tried to deny it. Last night, I had reflected on a lot of things especially what my father had said. I brought this upon myself. I hadn't listened to their warning and even the stories they told me about Selah's mother. I thought she was different. I thought she would notice those vices and change but she had held onto it. She had decided to work with her mother. I closed my eyes and sighed. Cherry knew I was angry and she hadn't bothered to come to my study. She knew what my reaction would be as she was the partial cause of all these. If she hadn't humiliated Hazel, maybe she wouldn't have gone up to her room in hurt and angry. Earl and Theresa were really worried. Even Nykon had asked about her. Last night, I had asked that everywhere be sealed so we could check if everyone was around as
CHAPTER 80 SELAH'S POV; The whole plan had gone so well that at that point, I thought I was in a dream. But this was reality. It was happening for real. My mother had helped in kidnapping the bane of my existence and the stumbling block to my glory. Tuchel had suggested taking her to his hideout before he was caught and was sentenced to prison while telling us that we were making him go back to his vomit. Well, it didn't matter because we had paid him for it. Even better than he had been able to rob collectively and I knew that there was no way he could turn our offer down. I mean, it was five grand. Not anyone could get it at a go. Well, except for Stella whom I had given Ten grands. She hasn't been executed yet and I wonder what she's experiencing behind closed doors. We were in a small warehouse that had probably been used years ago to store things. Well, Tuchel had bought it at a really low price and turned it to his hideout. This place wa
CHAPTER 81 HAZEL'S POV; I was crouched over, sobbing and shivering. I didn't know what was going to happen to me but I knew it was going to be more terrible than I had ever experienced. Onyx had never for once taken advantage of me sexually and now, this man was telling Selah and the woman who looked exactly like her that he wanted me. That alone was able to make me squish myself into a ball, shivering and clattering my teeth as they left. I heard the sound of a belt opening up and my heart began to race. I wasn't built for all these. I had managed to endure the maltreatment I had gotten from Onyx and his sister only to face this from the woman he used to be in love with in the past. Immediately, my eyes flew open and that was when I saw that he was half naked from below. He was an old man and it showed in the white, wiry hairs of his manhood area. I had never felt so irritated in my life as I watched him draw close to me with his erection so obvious for
CHAPTER 82 HAZEL'S POV; My feet itched. It was something that usually happened each time I stepped into dirty water without wearing anything. I was so invested in the nasty itching of my feet that I nearly stumbled to the floor but the rogue was quick to catch me in his arms. I immediately pushed away from him and stood far away, taking a stance of defense. I hadn't forgotten that I was good at combat and even if he would end up beating me, at least I would die knowing that I defended myself at least. He raised his hand to the air. That was to tell me that he meant no harm. "I am not here for you like I said. I came for Tuchel," "How do you know him?" I stuttered. The rogue lowered his hand and I studied him as he spoke. He had Chestnut brown hair and his eyes were the green of seas, nearly translucent. He looked like he couldn't harm a fly but I had seen what he had done to Tuchel. Even if I was glad that he was dead, I didn't trust this man. Rogu
CHAPTER 83 ONYX'S POV; A day had passed and Hazel hadn't been found yet. My warriors had gone past the boundaries in search of a petite lady with honey blond hair and porcelain blue eyes but no one had seemed to see her around. Things were getting confusing as hours passed. At one point, news got relayed to me that it wasn't Selah and her mother that orchestrated the kidnap. It had all been Tuchel's idea and he had carried it out alone. But that wasn't the case when I went to visit Selah's father. He had told me that they left with his car and a huge sum of money from him. I was being stressed out by this and I couldn't concentrate on other affairs I had to attend to. All day, I had stayed awake in my office, sparsely eating and barking commands at everyone. Even Cherry had avoided me throughout the whole time. I was absentmindedly leafing through a book when I heard a knock on the door. I immediately stood to my feet and strode towards the door, pulli
