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

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.

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?

    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

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 knew something was odd with their descriptions; it sounded like they were spinning lies off the web, but I couldn't say anything.

    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

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.

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.
