ARIA POVIt's been three days since Marcus brought Lauren to the castle to stay. She's been going around acting like she owns the place, her friendly attitude before had suddenly disappeared. She keeps bossing everyone around, making them work like slaves and treat them like dirt. At first I try to talk to her about this but she just turn against me and told me the only reason I'm caring for them is because I was once a slave. She said it's because I had a taste of their live and now I feel responsible for them, responsible for their pain."It's because you're of low life standards, had you lived like me you would realize that such sympathy is just an illusion. It's not needed. It's just an order in life and the servants are just working for their money." She said. "That is still not right!" I shouted back at her. "Alright then, if that's true then why don't they leave? They could stop this work where they are treating less than animals but they don't. They suck it up and do it
MARCUS POVAt night called Lauren to my room again but I was done trying to get her to turn me on. "You have a mission here, I hope you didn't think you're here to just lazy around." I said to her. "What do you want for me, darling? You know I'm all yours." She replied in a tone she thought was sexy. "I want you to make sure Aria leaves this castle. Make sure she leaves no matter what and I'll reward you generously." "Alright. I do have an idea actually and tomorrow it'll be nice if you help me execute it."*****We did as we planned but I wasn't sure how it went untill the next day.We need to talk." Darius said to me at the dinning table immediately he saw me and I frowned at him. "About what?" I snapped. This brother of mine has forgotten I'm older for a while now."Not here, follow me." He said then began walking away. I stood up and followed behind but my eyes trailed off to Aria who waved at me with small smile on her face.Why was she smiling at me? I panicked, not knowin
ARIA POVI forced myself to eat the ice while Killian and Darius watched me skeptically. They were in awe and honestly, I was too with the decision I made. I guess jealousy can make you do stupid things like trying to become a skinny broom. After breakfast, I retreated to my room but Darius and Killian were on my trail, following behind me without a word. I knew once I got inside, they would explode. They closed the door behind them then walked over to my bed and crossed their arms around their chest and narrowed their eyes at me. "Young lady, stand before us." Killian said, then pointed to a spot where I stood and awaited their judgment. "My Lord, I now stand before you." I said in the same medievales ancient he used. "Young woman, what was the diet you spoke of just then and what was its purpose." Darius began as well. "It's supposed to keep me in shape, making me sexy and pretty for my Lords." I answered and Killian shook his head disappointedly. "You know I really want to
ARIA POV"Hey there, Luna…" Killian chimed as he walked into my room all smiley and excited. His hands were behind his back and I could smell something… something really good. "Guess what I have with me." "Mango custard!" I exclaimed, my stomach grumbled and I too was getting excited but also restless. I wanted to devour the meal immediately. "Give it to me!" I ordered then pounced on him. I went behind him and dragged the plate away from him. I sat down on the floor and started eating it with my hands. "Woah… easy there tiger, I didn't know you were that crazy over mango custard." He chuckled then knelt down close to me. His eyes suddenly narrowed at me, his eyes surveyed my body and he looked displeased. "Aria, are you sure you're okay?" He questioned skeptically, his eyes were still roaming about. "You don't look so good." He concluded. "I'm fine." I lied. "But you shouldn't have brought this food. I shouldn't eat anything." "Why?" He asked confused but slowly realization dawn
ARIA POVI went back to bed and pulled the covers over my head. I felt someone tug me in then the three brothers walked out of the room. Later that day, maids brought different kinds of delicacies to the infirmary and Darius and Killian stayed to watch me eat. *****My eyes were shut but I wasn't asleep. I was forcing myself to go back to sleep but I couldn't. My thoughts kept wandering around and I couldn't stop it. I thought that if I just remain in the same position for a long time, I might fall asleep without knowing. Twenty minutes later, I felt a gush of wind on my face, when it settled down, my nostrils were filled with Marcus' scent.I wonder what he was doing here, what was he trying to do? Is he going to kill me so Lauren is spared? Those wild thoughts went through my mind but I wasn't at fault cause there is no other explanation why he would return to the infirmary. My heart was racing, I knew I couldn't fight him, I wasn't as strong. I began forcing myself to think o
KILLIAN POVLauren tried to tempt me into sleeping with her but I dragged her out of my room and warned her never to repeat what she did. She was so furious when I shut the door on her face. It was so satisfying that I took a bit of revenge for Aria from that snake. I really wish I knew of a way I could just kick her out of the castle, a way even Marcus couldn't argue but had to accept no matter what. I decided to just sleep for now and when I woke up, I immediately went to see Aria. She was sitting up on the bed, her face was much brighter now and she didn't seem as sad as she did yesterday. "Aria!" I exclaimed cheerfully as I let her know of my presence. I walked towards her and hugged her. I then parted her legs and wrapped them around my torso while Aria's hands were firmly wrapped around my neck. I sat on the bed with Aria in my arms. I cupped her face and stared into her beautiful amber eyes, she stared back at me and a smile grew on her face making her face even brighter an
KILLIAN POVAria pulled from the hug and her eyes went to the door where Marcus was standing. I wanted to instantly chase him out of the premises, I want him as far as possible from her since he brought nothing but pains yo Aria but the look on Aria's eyes made me stop. She was sad, yes but I could see it in her eyes that she was still happy to see him even though he was far away. Do I be selfish and chase him regardless or do I just help Marcus stop being a dick?I sighed then placed a kiss on Aria's lips before I excused myself and went to Marcus who started retreating once he saw me. "Wait." I called out to him and he halted. "I'm already leaving… you don't have to give me any of your lectures." He grumbled. I ignored him and just went closer to him, "You can come inside." I said to him and his eyes widened in shock. "What…what do you mean?" He stuttered a bit, I could see excitement on his face although he tried to surpress it so it doesn't show. Either that or my brother do
KILLIAN POVI turned to her swiftly and she plastered a smile on her face, trying to make the air a less tense. I gave her a smile as well and her smile broaden so she wasn't expecting me to be in front of her the next second with my hand on her neck, strangling her. "What did I tell you last time? I told you to stop trying to flirt with me, didn't I?" I asked through gritted teeth and tightening my grip on her neck. She struggled with me but she couldn't do anything, "Or did you perhaps forget how dangerous I can be?" I growled at her, "I'm very patient but there's a limit to it. I do not want to see you anywhere near me in this castle or else I'll snap your neck." I threatened then let go of her. She collapsed to the ground and started coughing while gasping for air. "I could easily kill you here and nobody would bat an eye but have spared you, make me regret this decision and I'll will murder you." With that I grabbed the collar of her dress and dragged her out of the kitchen a
