Edwina The moment I stepped out of Alfie’s mansion, I didn’t spare a glance in any direction before I broke into a sprint. Edwina Nearly a kilometer away from the mansion, I finally halted, my breath ragged as I surveyed my surroundings. Where am I? The landscape seemed vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t pinpoint its exact location. With Alfie's men likely on my trail, I couldn't afford to linger, yet blindly wandering without a destination seemed just as pointless. I wandered aimlessly, my steps carrying me toward a small market nearby. Approaching a young boy selling vegetables, I mustered the courage to ask for directions. "Excuse me, can you tell me the name of this village?" I inquired, hoping for a helpful response. grew stronger I was seething with annoyance at the boy's insolence, but engaging in a pointless argument seemed futile, so I chose to walk away. I decided not to ask the next person I came across for directions right away so as not to create a hab
Edwina When the gracious man agreed to help me, I experienced a wave of relief. With a gentle reassurance, he beckoned me to board the boat while he tended to some urgent task. I got comfortable on the boat and waited for him to come back, grateful for his hospitality. Even though I had to get help quickly, I didn't want to press him to work faster because his generosity toward a complete stranger said a lot about him and I didn't want to bother him more. Grateful for his kindness, I settled onto the boat, patiently awaiting his return. Even if I was in a hurry, I do not have right to tell this man to hurry because he’s already doing enough for me and I didn't want to impose further. Seated on the boat, I felt as though time would never end and my mind was racing with concerns and doubts. Minutes felt like hours in the absence of any means to measure the passing time. After a while, the man himself appeared, along with two other travelers who would be traveling wit
Edwina The realization of my unknown destination sent shivers down my spine as I found myself surrounded by unfamiliar faces, each more menacing than the last. How could I have been so naive as to trust the man who returned with reinforcements after leaving me waiting for almost an hour? Now, I am trapped in this mess, and there was no turning back. As the horses galloped relentlessly, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were this village was familiar but the thought of the unknown sent a wave of fear crashing over me, my heart pounding erratically in my chest as I contemplated the horrors that awaited me. The man beside me exuded an aura of cold ruthlessness, his steely gaze sending chills down my spine. I knew better than to provoke him; any wrong move could result in unspeakable consequences. So, I forced myself to remain calm, suppressing the fear and anger that threatened to consume me. I couldn't afford to let my emotions get the best of me, not when I was at the mercy o
EdwinaThe moment those words hit me, my heart pounded like a drum in my chest. Can you believe it? Being kidnapped wasn't horrifying enough for them. Now they wanted to add another layer of hell by intending to violate me? No way. I refuse to let anyone defile me, not after all I've endured. I don't give a damn how many of them there are. I'd sooner end my own life than let them lay a finger on me. I won't allow anyone to compound my trauma, no matter the cost."Why would you even entertain such a thought, Frank?" Jakub demanded."Why tarnish the merchandise before it reaches its rightful owner?" he asked, his tone dripping with a sinister edge. Touching her inappropriately, and we'll be signing our own death warrants. Do you think I haven't pondered that angle? But it'd be sheer idiocy to entertain the thought. Did you not catch the names I mentioned? Those individuals hold power and sway, and they're not to be trifled with. If they catch wind that she's been tampered with or devalu
Edward I preparing men to go and search for Edwina even though I cannot track her for a while now, but I want to just sit around and let Alfie do whatever you want. It’s been days now, and there is no sign of either as Alfie replied to my message What is going on? As he finally given up on taking the throne for me? If so, why hasn’t he returned Edwina? I’ve had a lot of thought run through my mind. everyone knows that it is a very stupid idea for me to give to Alfie's demand and I know this too, but t. I could only use that as a trap to get him here, since he has decided not to show his face I could bring him out of his Edwina by deceiving him, but also be a very dangerous idea. That seems to be the best option right now. After days had passed And I didn’t get a reply from Alfie, I made a decision that I would give in to him. so I told my man to spread the word. Let him know that I am ready to leave the phone for him if it would release Edwina unharmed If it is war
Edward As days passed without any sign of Edwina or a response from Alfie, I grew increasingly restless. Despite my inability to track her scent, I couldn't simply sit idly by and allow Alfie to do as he pleased. The uncertainty gnawed at me, leaving me with a nagging sense of unease. Why hadn't Alfie returned Edwina? Had he abandoned his plans to seize the throne for me, or did he have something else in mind? The lack of communication only fueled my apprehension, leaving me to ponder his motives With each passing moment, my mind raced with possibilities. Everyone knows that yielding to Alfie's demands was a reckless endeavor, I am also aware of this. Yet, desperate times called for desperate measures, and I couldn't help but consider the possibility of using his demands as a means to draw him out of hiding. But such a plan carried considerable risks. Deception was a double-edged sword, capable of luring Alfie into the open while also inviting unforeseen consequences. The
Edward I was unable to fathom Rebecca's boldness. How on earth was she here? Had she not already suffered enough humiliation and taunts? Did she not realize how serious the situation was whit hefatherr and ? And yet here she was, dancing into my room, as if she wanted to show me her full self. Such antics had no place in my patience. "I don't have time to catch up or socialize, Rebecca. I am in a serious position, requiring my utmost concentration. I don't need you hovering around, please, just leave," I implored, my frustration evident in my tone. She ignored my advice, though, and carried on moving around the space as though it were her own. With a casual demeanor, she placed the wine bottle on a nearby shelf, causing a tense stillness between us as the glass clanked against the wood. She took a seat on a chair and provocatively adjusted her robe, revealing even more of her body. "Rebecca, why would you want to stress yourself in this way? Your games don't appeal to
Edward As the taste of blood filled my mouth from the impact of his punches, I refused to yield. With a swift movement, I retaliated, aiming to break his bones with the force of my hand against his body. Surprisingly, my grip held firm, and I managed to twist him to the ground, asserting my dominance over him. The look of shock and frustration in his eyes fueled my determination as I returned the blows he had given me. But Alfie wasn’t one to back down easily. With a surge of strength, he pushed me off, sending me tumbling down the uneven slope of the valley. I landed hard on the ground below, the impact jarring my senses. As I struggled to regain my footing, Alfie loomed over me from the top of the hill, his face streaked with blood and his posture exuding a dangerous intensity. "It would take me nothing to end you right now, little brother," he spat, his voice laced with menace. "Tell me where you've hidden Edwina, or I'll unleash hell upon Galentia until it's mine, an
