After the breakfast, which was eaten in total silence, Mr Reyes put the cup aside and looking at Arya, announced.“I'm going to my shop today, do you want to go with me?”Arya was surprised for a moment. It would be nice to go somewhere, her days were so dull. Should she agree? He won’t take his offer back as soon as she agrees? That was still a possibility. Mr Reyes was waiting patiently for her answer.“Yes Master, I would like to go if I won’t be a burden to you.” She wanted to sound indifferent but wasn’t sure if she succeeded.“Good, I’m happy. We will leave in ten minutes. Get ready.”Arya was ready, she could go right away. Mr Reyes n
Arya moved to buy some paper, walking slowly she was smiling at herself thinking about that young noble man. His words just flattered her vanity and that was simply a nice feeling.At the stationer’s Arya purchased some paper, actually a lot of paper. Now she had reserves for some more dull days that were to come. Still she should be grateful, Magan would have done everything to have such dull days, Arya could consider herself quite lucky after all.She was done with her shopping, she was only walking around and looking at the other stands. She was approached by Mr Reyes while she was looking at some gloves.“Do you like any of them?” He asked, leaning closer.Arya flinched.“
They were going back home and Arya was thinking about everything that happened so far. It was such a good morning. She enjoyed the ride and the shopping part but the best thing was what Mr Reyes told her about his mother. That confession of his was worth more than any jewelry he has ever bought her. He was really nice to her and the day wasn’t over yet. It was the best day ever since she was brought back after her grand escape. It looked like he was trying to win her over. Should she do something nice in return? He would probably appreciate it. What should she do? “What are you thinking so hard Arya?” “Nothing much, it was just a very pleasant morning.” Arya decided to pay back the favors she has received today. She already knew how, it was bold and shameless but she had nothing else to offer anyway. That was something that Cora would do as well. The carriage stopped in front of the mansion and they stepped out. Mr Reyes summoned a servant to pick up all the purchases and bring the
That might have happened sooner or later. Mr Reyes was sharing something with her so she might do as well.“Who are those people?” Apparently her silence was too much for Mr Reyes.Arya looked at her owner and as composed as she could be after this sudden encounter she managed to fake a smile and finally answer.“Nobody special Master, they are just people I used to live with.” She turned her face back to the scene and luckily the curtain went up.“Arya.” She felt a strong warm grip on her hand “Do you want to leave this place?” He sounded concerned.“No Master, I want to enjoy the show, they won't recognize me anyway. We haven’t seen each other for ove
“That was a really great evening, thank you Master.” Arya whispered into Mr Reyes ear as they were walking out of the opera. They were followed by many curious and jealous gazes. That Maison Alpha was among one of those people who were staring at them. Arya was conscious of him following them. They stepped into a carriage and rode away. Arya decided to be nice to Mr Reyes, after all this day was the second best since she was bought by Silas. She was sitting next to her and hugging her. “Arya, what was your birth name?” He asked, looking at her leaning to him. “Why do you want to know Master? I’m not allowed to use my surname as well as my name. The man who was my father took legal steps to ensure it.” Arya’s was sulky. “For me you are Arya, but I’m just c
“I already had the pleasure of meeting Miss Arya and to be honest, she is the reason for my intrusion today.” Mr Maison sat down and leisurely crossed his legs.“Is that so? Could you be more explicit?” Mr Reyes switched to his business mode. He was speaking with the uninvited guest in the manner she heard him dealing with business partners.“Certainly, Miss Arya is a truly beautiful Omega. She has made a great impression on me. I must admit as soon as I saw her I decided to get acquainted, and I was ready to court her. However, after I learned the details, I understand I need to talk to her owner.” Mr Mison smiled showing his perfect white teeth.“And what would you like to talk about?” Arya could sense Mr Reyes’ anger building up behind his words.“I’d make you an offer sir. As far as I was informed, Miss Arya was bought for the amount of one hundred and fifty golden coins. I will offer you three hundred.” The confidence look in his eyes scared Arya a bit. That was a lot of money,
Mr Reyes stood up and walked slowly out. Arya was sitting speechless for a moment. He said it as if he was actually giving her a choice, but the truth was less polished. It was a false choice. If she decides not to go, he will surely pay her back in one way or another. She had no doubts about it. He only said it all to make himself look better in her eyes.Well that wasn’t important now. She needs to prepare herself, he was right she needs to wear a collar. She heard that Alphas in their rut can be violent. Mr Reyes was violent without going into rut. That was a bit scary. Well, herlife has never been easy, this is just another situation she has to deal with.Arya went to the playroom, it was empty. She found the collars and decided to choose the most resistant and widest. It won’t be very comfortable but was right for the purpos
Arya was exhausted. Her Alpha was a really demanding partner. Those past four days took their toll on her. She was really tired and on her neck and shoulders there were many marks left by her restless Alpha. She finally took off that uncomfortable collar. Her skin was irritated and reddish. She needed time to recover and be able to present herself in public.She left her bathroom only to face Mr Reyes waiting for her in her room. He immediately stood up and approached her. There was concern written all over his face.“I brought this ointment for your neck. Sit down and I will apply it.” There was no room for discussion, Arya sat down. His touch was gentle, he was rubbing the ointment on her neck and even shoulders.“Rest for now, I will order the kitchen to bring you
“A question?” Silas crossed his arms. His stern look reminded Arya about their first meeting. Yet she was no longer a slave, now she was his wife and she was with a child. What is more she wasn’t the one who did something wrong, she wasn’t hiding anything. She suddenly felt she had an upper hand in the following discussion. “Yes my dear husband.” Arya sat down on Silas’ chair. ”Have you ordered your men to demolish my workshop?” There was a short flash in his eyes. He was shocked but not surprised. Arya suddenly deep inside already knew the answer. “Who told you such nonsense? Was that the Omega you met today?” He stepped inside the study and closed the door behind him. “Have you ordered it? Yes or no?” Arya asked again. “Will you believe me when I answer you? You seem to already know the answer.” He was standing in the middle of the room with his hands in his pockets. True Master of this place. “I need the truth Silas. Be it un ugly truth but still the truth.” Arya decided not
For a brief moment Arya didn’t know how to react to such a question. “Why are you asking me such a question?” She finally decided to ask back.Mehan was fidgeting with her fingers looking down on the table before she looked Arya in the eyes.“I ‘m not sure whether I should tell you this or not. I owe your husband my freedom, but I think I owe you even more. I owe you my life so I think you should know that.”The serious expression of Megan made Arya feel uneasy. Her stomach suddenly tightened, the first indication of stress.“What do you mean Megan?” “ The man that brought you the documents before we left, he works for your husband right?” “Yes.” Ary felt some cold tentacles crawling up her spine. “When I was working at the brothel I met him. He was into Carla, a Beta with curly brown hair. Once he brought three other men with him, they were celebrating something. All four of them were drinking and having fun talking about their business. From what they were talking I assumed they
Winter was slowly coming to an end. Every day the sun was shining a little bit brighter and longer. Every morning Arya was watching her reflection in the mirror carefully. Her body was changing. The belly was slowly growing and each time Ary was touching it she felt that the child was a real thing. Inside her a new life was growing.“You look amazing.” Her husband sometimes was hugging her from behind while his hands were resting against her belly. Then he would usually place a kiss on her nape and advise her to rest, relax and eat. Yet Arya’s conviction was firm, she wanted to stay active. Her underwear brand was doing well. Two weeks ago some new designs were presented and immediately picked up interest. Right now she was selling not only in her husband’s shop but also in two other places. The income was good enough to maintain all the costs and earn her a nice sum every month. Of course it wasn’t near as much as Silas would earn, still Arya felt satisfied that she was also contrib
Dancing and talking to all the guests finally wore Arya out. She needed a break and really looked forward to all of them leaving the mansion. The wedding however lasted till late at night. Arya managed to get back to her room and without taking off her dress threw herself on her bed. Her legs were hurting and all the tense feeling from the whole day finally left her. She was on the verge of falling asleep when the door opened. “Is my lovely wife trying to fall asleep in her own room on our wedding night?” Silas voice sobered her up. “No, I was just a bit tired.” Arya sat down on the bed.“Come with me, I want to show you something.” Silas took her hand and they walked out of her room. Arya followed him in the direction of the playroom. Fuck no. She wasn’t in a mood for something like that. Silas stopped in front of his bedroom. In one swift movement he took her in his arms and opened the door. “I always wanted to do that, carrying my wife inside our bedroom.” Arya’s heart started
Arya was taking a deep breath in and out. It was a moment of quiet for the first time this morning. She woke up early as usual and then a bunch of maids entered her private room. Arya was washed, some creamy mask was put on her face, her body was rubbed with a fragrant and relaxing oil. Next was her hair, it was dried and turned into curls and then pinned up and decorated with white flowers. Later was break time for Arya to eat something. After putting on some makeup Arya was dressed. The dress was magnificent, with sparkling lace, underlining her breast and waist, making her look princess-like. The maids even helped her put on earrings and a necklace of course. It all looked very expensive and Arya felt like some heroine out of a romance novel. After all that hustle and bustle she was finally left alone to rest for a bit before the ceremony would start. Arya came to the window, it was late autumn. Winter will soon paint the whole garden in white and grayish tones. Not even a year a
“Hmm, so now you are telling me that it is up to you what will happen to the family business?” He placed the glass aside.“You have no shame, don’t you care about your brother and sister? Have you ever thought about what might happen to them?” He looked nervous. He must have hated the situation when a pitiful Omega is about to make a decision concerning his future.“You are mistaken sir, I have no family. I’m an orphan. If I had a loving father I surely wouldn't be abandoned in a hell like the Institution.” Arya clenched her fists, she was ready to pour it all out.“You see, a loving father wouldn’t allow other men to beat his daughter and humiliate her. A loving father would care if she is cold and has enough food to eat. A father wouldn’t turn his back at a child that had to beg for food on the street. A decent man wouldn’t allow other men to treat his daughter like a sex object that can be bought and later disposed of.” Arya knew she wasn’t able to keep her tears from rolling. Stil
Fredric Bailey was a good looking man in his late forties. His hair had the light ouch of grayish color yet the way he was walking and his erect posture made him look younger. He was wearing a dark gray suit and a walking cane, that was an accessory rather than something he needed for walking.He had this noble atmosphere around him, even now sitting opposite Mr Reyes, he didn’t look like a man who came here to beg for favors. Baron Fredric Bailey had a serious expression and his way of speaking was very composed.“Mr Reyes, I’m glad you have found time for a meeting. I have a few issues I need to discuss with you.”“The pleasure is all mine.” Mr Reyes leaned comfortably and crossed his arms waiting for the other party to continue.“As you surely are aware Mr Reyes your recent actions have interfered with so far established ways of doing business. I believe as gentlemens we can find a proper solution that would be beneficial for both of us.” Then there was a pause. Baron was waiting f
The event turned out well. The man enjoyed the view of prosperity and a successful project, while the women had their share in gossiping and checking each other’s outfits. Arya was done with it, she only wanted to go back home. She had her urgent question she wanted to ask but for that she needed privacy and the right timing. Silas knows how to keep things a secret so it won’t be easy to make him speak if he doesn’t want to. On their way home Arya did what probably all other women were doing that very moment. She praised her fiance.“I must say that the marine is a really impressive project, I’m glad that it successfully ended. “ Arya grabbed Silas’ hand and smiled.“Me too, there is still much to do but it already starts to bring its profit.” Silas was beaming with joy. That celebration did him well.“I was so worried that the matter with the count would harm your business.” Arya decided to start it slow.“Well the count has his shares here too, so he gains as much profit as we do.
The door was opened and a tall elegant looking man faced Aya.“Good afternoon sir.” She greeted him.The man bowed a bit.“Good afternoon Miss Arya.” He was leaving and Arya went inside. As soon as the door closed Arya asked.“Who was that, Silas?” After engagement he decided that she should call him by his name, the Master thing was saved for the playroom. That was definitely a huge step forward.“Just a man who works for me to collect some information.” Silas smiled and placed a peck on her forehead. “Do you happen to know anything about that burglary in my workshop?” Arya sat down opposite the desk.“Unfortunately no, there were no traces and no witnesses. I’m sorry.” Silas sat down behind his desk.“Hmm, I have a request. Today I met an old acquaintance from Institution, her name is Megan. She was sold to a brothel, she’s around my age and I feel sorry for her.” Arya lowered her gaze, she knew she was asking about much but Megan was worth it despite her recent reaction.“You want
