Betrayed, But Redeemed. A bitter solution
MARCELLUS’ POVRaymond had approached as soon as I walked out of the room; three maids passed me with a bow before heading toward Fiona.“I'm sorry, Your Highness, I had fallen asleep as I got into the room, earlier on, I just got the wind of the news as I woke." Raymond apologized, closing in the space between us,I made a sharp turn towards my study; he walked in behind me, looking just as worried as I was. I punched against the table, seething with rage, those bastards, they had me cornered.“What will I do, Raymond?.I'm lost and confused, and I see no way out this time,” I admitted staring intently at him; a groan coursed through my lips; I had no idea what I was doing.“Who did it? I'm sure Miss Fiona didn't... or did she?” Raymond asked, staring wide-eyed at me. I shook my head, nodding negatively.“No, she didn't, although I'm uncertain why Lena had done something as horrible as that. I know she's goal-driven and gritty even, but that far? I had no idea she could drive herself

FIONA'S POV.My heartbeat picked its pace as I pulled off my top, slowly I did the same with my panties, and; finally, I was bare before them, naked. They were women, but it was the first time in a long while since anyone had ever bathed me.“Lady Fiona.” The first of the three girls had spoken, stretching forth her hands toward the ub, although it was obvious they had stolen lots of cautious gazes at me, yet it still seemed as though they were careful of being caught. I doubt I had anything to do with it; it was probably because it all started with an order from Marcellus, and they had to be orderly and not screw up in any possible way.A loud whine coursed through my lips as soap eased down my body; it had stung harder than I thought. She was quick to wash away the lather of soap on my skin, now shivering as she begged continuously.“I'm sorry, my lady, I don't mean to hurt you; I... will be careful next time”. She pleaded, her head bowed. At first, I felt pity for her; usually, I w

FIONA'S POV.“They all call you a witch, you know?” Maya whispered, easing herself into the chair beside me. She looked uneasy; on her toes, she wasn't relaxed. I didn't like this progress. Maya would usually be bickering around now causing a fuss and filling me on whatever gossip the maids had to tender.“You can relax, Maya, I won't bite you, not you, maybe others, but please, I was poisoned, and then I was framed. You were there and saw it too; you know better. I have to act tough for a few days, or they'll all walk all over me." I exclaimed,Then the light came to her eye once again, I could see her countenance brighten up after listening to my words.“Finally I can breathe. I knew something was odd with their descriptions; it sounded like they were spinning lies off the web, but I couldn't say anything. I wasn't certain either; besides, I have it in bed; they'll hate me more than they do if I try defending you.” Maya complained with a pout. She looked adorable, escaping my lips a

FIONA POV. My gut twisted hearing those words; it wasn't the physical pain he had caused me that bothered me; it was, in fact, I didn't like the manner in which he had spoken. I didn't like it; this act was going too far, but even so, I contemplated what to say or do; it wasn't seeming to be an act anymore.Yet he wouldn't do that to me, right?“Well, don't just stand there like a mute and come with me now! " he ordered sternly, not sparing me a glance. My body shook, as though there was friction in my feet. I dragged myself behind him, pain stabbing away at my sides.I feel myself briefly at a loss for words; he wasn't saying anything, his eyes were pinned ahead, and I could only walk in hisSomething was off; I wanted to reach out to him, to ask him if something had happened to piss him off.

FIONA'S POV.“Fine, get out, both of you. Lena needs to rest; besides, I could care less about what she does with her time or where she goes; she's probably going to put you in harm's way as well.” Marcekkus deadpanned, his gaze stiffened; our eyes locked for a moment, and all I could see was irritation in them; he must really loathe me.I swallowed a lump in my throat, trying back to hold my tears; he wasn't worth it; no one was. Rachel lowered his gaze to match mine, a reassuring smile on his lips as he locked his eyes into mine.“Common, let's go.” He whispered, drawing me closer to himself, neither of us saying a thing to the other as we walked out of the door, and down the corridor, we approached the garage, and he had the gesture that I settled into the seat as he held out the door for me. “I don't... Are you sure this is a good idea? I really don't want you getting in your arms or hurting out. I stuttered out, my voice thinning out as I spoke.“Just get in, Fiona! Don't make m
Last Updated : 2024-12-18Betrayed, But Redeemed. Anywhere but here.
Fiona's POVI'm the most unlucky person in the world. That was all I could think about as I knelt on the ground cleaning the bathroom floor with a toothbrush. That was my stepmother's way of punishing me for waking up late even though I was sick. “Make it sparkle! I want to see my face in those tiles when you're done” My stepsister mocked me as she passed by the guest bathroom. I ignored her as I'd grown accustomed to the insults and unfair treatment I received in my own house. My back was sore and aching when I finally finished after hours of cleaning. My fever had gone up but of course, no one cared about that. I joined the rest of the family in the living room and sat down for lunch when my father snapped at me.“What do you think you're doing?” His voice startled me.“I-I want to eat…” “Then go to the kitchen and wait for the leftovers. Don't be greedy” I still found it hard to believe just how terribly my own father treated me, especially since he married my stepmother.“But

Fiona’s POV“What?” I asked, clearly shocked before a sting of betrayal enveloped me.“He'll come for you soon so go make yourself look presentable” My father dismissed me like he hadn't just given me the biggest news of my life. How could he just sell me, like some property? What the heck is my life for then? Simply nothing. A thing to be discarded.My mind was spinning in all directions. I wanted to escape and run but in my current condition, I wouldn't get far before my father would drag me back into the house. “Go now!” His voice startled me and I forced my battered body to get up. I wore a baggy sweater over my clothes as my head continued to spin. I didn't know what to do and I didn't have enough time to think because there was soon a knock at our door. The blood drained from my face as I stood frozen in my room fearing my fate. My stepmother barged into my room with a mocking smile on her face. Then she grabbed me by my neck.“You're finally going to be out of our lives you l
Last Updated : 2024-11-14Betrayed, But Redeemed. A new place to call home?
Fiona’s POVI was in the back of the car for several hours until we reached a grand majestic building that closely resembled a castle. That was where Marcellus lived and it was miles away from home. I was fully in werewolf territory and a human. We met some guards along the way and they all bowed their heads in his presence. My eyes kept dancing around the place in awe of it all. “You must be tired but first, I'll introduce you to the others” Marcellus spoke before he continued walking. I rushed after him, struggling to keep up with his pace.What others was he talking about? As soon as we walked through the huge mahogany doors, I knew. There were about fifty other women all dressed in fine clothing. They definitely weren't maids unless he just happened to be so kind to his slaves. That was what I was going to be after all. The women were all so beautiful that I felt insignificant in their presence. “This is Fiona. I just got her and she'll be joining you ladies in court” His voi

Betrayed, But Redeemed. An Act
FIONA'S POV.A loud scream coursed through my lips on reflex, in sin to his orders; however, my body had not been lashed. The whip was simply still midway in the air.Isn't he here to punish me? To act out? To blame me“What are you doing?” I asked, his fingers hastily pressed gently against my lips.“Don't say a word. I need them to think I lashed you,” he blurted out. I corked my brows, too stunned to speak; now things were winding out of hand pretty fast, and judging from the glint in his eyes, I could tell he was having a blast at the moment.“What are you up to, Marcellus? Didn't Darla get to you already?” I asked, and he let go of the whip in his grasp leaning his back against the wall with a smirk strapped to the sides of his lips.“I did; she explained petty tricks to me, which is why you have to do just as I tell you.” He entrusted his chin to my hair now, causing me to immediately realize how tall and muscular this man was.We've had sex now. But I still couldn't get my head
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Unyielding heart
MARCELLUS’’ POV.A groan escaped my lips as I reached out for my phone, highlighting from the car with Raymond by my side. It was a good day to go golfing. My best friend and I are against the world.“I need rest; I'll head on to my room now,” Raymond complained, stretching his back.“Rest? All you did was lose,” I teased my daughter.“and all you did was cheat.” He snapped right back, and we both burst into laughter. I made a mental reminder to go on a trip like this twice at least every month; we bonded over the golf, and small talks here and there; he even got himself a lover. One of the neighboring betas daughters, and I had no idea,Although I was no fool, I could tell her relationship had suffered due to his inability to spend time with her; I couldn't roll around in bed with all nine of my mistresses… ten, including Fiona, while he stood guard and did all my jobs. One of these days, after I've gotten rid of the council and their chastises, I would finally be able to give him a
Betrayed, But Redeemed. The poison Culprit
FIONA'S POV“I didn't do it!” I screamed, thrashing my arms away from them, kicking, pulling, and screaming as loud as I could, yet no one had listened to me. I'm dragged out by both arms, my feet scratching against the floor. I wasn't scared. But I didn't want people to get wind of the news either,“My lady,” Maya screamed, rushing towards me; I could see sincere worry in her eyes.“I'll get Lady Darla for you now," she screamed as I was dragged away from her sight. Lena was a bitch, but doing this, hurting herself to pin her blame on me, was one of the wildest ideas anyone could ever have.I'm tossed into a dimly lit cell, the coldness of the tiles harshly biting my skin as I fall. Colliding with the floor with a heavy impact, a light wince coursed through my lips as I tried to get off the floor.“Don't beg for help. Don't ask for food. Eat what is given, and if you need to go. There's a bucket in there,” the guard snapped before marching away from me. I jolted backward, seeing a li
Betrayed, But Redeemed. A stab of betrayal
FIONA'S POV.He looked curious, antsy, and on edge, and I preferred that; perhaps seducing him wasn't as hard, or it might be just as Raphael had said: he'll get bored of me soon and take in a new mistress.Not that I believed a single thing that eased across his lips anyway; he lied to me; he knew I was poisoned and did nothing; then of course two could play the game just as well.Starting off from the basics, I needed to be his favorite, and gain as much power as I could; perhaps it wouldn't be as easy as I expected it to be, but not that I had anything else to do.It was either this or I'd end up dead one way or another, so I'd prefer trying than waiting for Lena or Darla to make a feast of my head.“Why do you glare at me like that, Fiona? You are scaring the fuck out of me, you know? He asked with a giggle, but he could tell something about me had changed; I snapped it was his fault after all.I grumbled in low tones, pulling myself away from his grasp.“Tonight, nine… be by my d
