"Mom, what is it like outside?" A soft and milky voice from a little girl sounded. The girl who seemed to age five years old was like a porcelain doll. Her skin was white as snow with golden hair and bright blue eyes. Her cheeks had a healthy pink flush and still had baby fat in them. It can already be seen that she would grow up as a stunning beauty in the future.
The woman that was called mom by the little girl sat beside her in the bed. Both of them looked outside of the window. She was still very young, but she already had a duplicate of her. She had the same traits as the little girl, golden hair, blue eyes, and red cherry lips. Anyone who would lay her eyes on her would be hooked out of their breath.
She was like a goddess that descended on earth. Or maybe, she is.
The woman looked out at the vast world outside. It was nighttime and the sky was full of stars. What they can see from their place were vast land and thick forest. Below was a few feet high, and the place was swallowed in darkness.
It turns out, the mother and daughter were in a tall tower.
The woman looked at her questioning daughter. She caressed the little girl's soft and beautiful hair and sighed.
"Sweetheart, the world is scary." She whispered.
"Why is it, mom? Are there monsters with big fangs like in the picture book?" The little girl inquired innocently.
The woman smiled sadly.
"No, even scarier. Because they can look nice and even beautiful. But their hearts are full of greed and malice." She explained to her daughter, even though she doubted whether the little girl could understand it.
But she never ceases to remind her.
"Remember sweetheart, we are not humans. We are objects that fill the greed of people. My owner keeps me, but it is much better than being outside where many people could hurt me. When the time is right, your owner will arrive to get you too." She explained patiently.
The little girl that could understand only much looked at her mother with big bright eyes. She couldn't comprehend so, however, in her mind, she imagined whether her owner was like the prince in the picture book.
The mister that comes regularly to find her mother was also tall and beautiful and he looked gentle. Will her owner be like him too?
"Well, will he be my prince?" She finally asked her mother.
The young woman could only look at her daughter and smile helplessly at her innocence.
She also wished. But sadly, it was not the case. However, it is not the time to tell this to her. She would know in the future.
A knock sounded at the door. It opened and a woman with a stern face came in.
"The master is here. Child, let's go to another room," The woman announced as she motioned her hand to the little girl.
The little girl looked back at her mother reluctantly. The latter only smiled and fixed her dress for her and urged her to stand.
The little girl finally approached the stern lady obediently.
Outside the door, a large shadow covered her. She looked up and saw the mister's familiar face.
An imposing man stood tall outside the door with a neat three-piece suit. He softened his eyes a little as he gave a small smile to the little girl. But after a beat, he only passed by her and walked to enter the room.
The lady in waiting led the little girl to leave. As they left, the little girl looked back. Just in time before the door shut close, she saw her beautiful mother sitting calmly on the bed and the back of the man as he took off his coat.
......................................................................
A few years later.
A young woman stood in front of the vanity mirror. The once five-year-old girl grew up to be a beautiful young lass. She just reached adulthood and she looked like a blooming rose.
Her long golden hair reached her buttocks, and one could tell it was smooth and soft just by looking at them. Her skin was still as white as snow. Her cheeks had a rosy color on them, and her pouty lips were moist and tinted with a color of cherry red.
A middle-aged woman was behind her and brushed her hair. She looked at her daughter in the mirror and smiled slightly.
"Remember what I told you when you meet your owner later." She whispered softly.
The young woman raised her eyes at her mother in the mirror and her heart trembled. A blush crept in her cheeks that made her face even more blossoming.
Her mother saw her shy and nervous appearance and can't help but sigh. The time had finally come and she can no longer talk to her in black in white.
Last night, she had already prepared her daughter for what is about to happen. From every detail, she didn't shy away from telling and explaining to her daughter.
"Sweetheart, do you remember?" She can only prompt her daughter again.
The young girl heard this, and she recovered and calmed down. She nodded solemnly to her mother.
As she grew older, she was no longer as naïve and clueless as before. When she finally realized and learned what she is and who she is, she slowly became timid. Just like her mom and all the predecessors before her.
They were from the clan of the Goddess of luck. No one really knew anything about them. What they really were nor where they came from.
But they are currently owned by a rich man, locked up in a tall tower.
The family that owned the Goddess at present is the Albrecht family.
And right now, this young woman who had just turned 18 years old would be given to her owner, the present heir of the Albrecht family.
And it will be tonight, the night she will reach adulthood.
The young girl doesn't know what to expect, her dream of meeting her prince slowly faded away through the years as her mother revealed to her the history of her kind.
Now, she was only nervous about what will happen.
Will the owner like her?
Her timid nature covered up the anticipation of her childhood dreams, that deep inside, she still wished for her prince.
In an airport, a bunch of media had been waiting at the entrance. They were waiting for the arrival of one of the most sought-after businessmen in the industry today. The heir of the Albrecht family. Leon Zigmund Albrecht. He is coming back to the country from a successful business trip abroad. Another huge deal was closed by this prominent and bright young man. Finally, they saw a tall and dashing lad come out. He was wearing a black coat with shades in his eyes. His expression was cold and aloof, as guards stopped the mobs from the media, Without adhering to the calls of the reporters and flashes of the camera, Leon boarded the luxury car parked outside the airport. The car hurriedly drove away from the place. Leon slumped his back on the backrest of the car and crossed his leg. The assistant before him suddenly said. "Young Master, the President reminded me about the important matter tonight. He ordered to directly go to the Herrenhaus Manor." Leon heard this and sighed. Thi
A car parked outside the Herrenhaus Manor, but actually, it was a tall tower. Leon looked up at the building after getting out of the car. At the entrance, four people waited to welcome the Young Master. Leon went ahead to enter as the servants bowed their heads. "Good evening, Young Master. Please have some rest for a while," The butler greeted him and led him the way. "Thank you," Leon said politely as he entered. This tower stood in an isolated land, and it took them a while to get here, and now it is already dark. "You have come a long way, Sire, so we arranged your room to rest a bit. Meanwhile, we will prepare her for tonight." The butler told him as they walked into the large hallway. Leon glanced at the butler and saw his expression as if he was explaining a food he will serve to him later and can't help but shook his head helplessly. He then just entered the room to settle down. The room was large and very clean. It looked elegant with antique furniture, Leon once again
"Yes, the Master is going to own me." These words stirred Leon's heart. the soft voice was very melodious and sweet, and perhaps she didn't even know how these words coming out of her lips could affect any living man on this planet. And this did not exempt Leon. He felt his lower body immediately tighten. He was not a man who was a slave of his libido, the reason why feeling hot right this instant felt incredulous to him. It seems as if he was under a spell, and he can't wait to taste her. And he just did that. His head bent down to catch those beautiful and luscious lips. The woman in his arms gasped and he took this advantage to dive his big hot tongue into her soft and fragrant mouth. "Hmp!" The woman struggled to cater to the man. The candy on her mouth was stirred by the two playing tongues and later, a sliver of saliva dripped down her chin. When it felt like the woman has lost her breath, the man finally let go of her lips. He watched her shiny and moist lips become even
"Ha.." The poor woman was deeply confused and messed up by everything she was feeling. All of this was very new to her, and the pleasure and thrill running to her bones made her anxious. Leon's kisses gradually went down to her lower belly, going to the place no one had reached before. The whiteness seemed to blind his eyes, as a smooth and hairless nether regions appeared before him. The flower lips were a beautiful shade of pink, and her flower hole looked cute and beautiful. "You're beautiful even here," He whispered as his eyes were pasted on her folds. The woman felt the man's scorching gaze and can't help but shut her legs. It was a place no one had ever seen and touch before, and right now, the man had his face almost pasted on it. This made her very embarrassed. "No.." But Leon's strong arms opened her legs even wider. "Don't move," He murmured drunkenly as his lips finally tasted the sweet tender lower mouth. His tongue suddenly licked, and this made the woman twitch.
The light spilled from the window and shone in the large bedroom. The handsome man's face scrunched up by the bright light and can't help but raise his arms to shield his eyes. His other hand patted the other side of the bed and immediately noticed the emptiness. His eyes opened and looked beside him. She's gone. Leon got up and looked around the room. The vigorous exercise last night lasted until almost dawn, and his last impression was them falling on each other, still entangled. But now, she was nowhere to be found. He got up from the bed. If it wasn't for the messy sheets, the obvious water stains and the red blood splattered on the quilts, he would think it was a dream. But no. It felt so real. But where was she? He quickly put on his clothes. Last night, they requested for water multiple times, and he had already wiped their bodies clean. So, his first thought was to quickly find her. He pushed open the metal door and found the quiet atmosphere outside. He furrowed his e
"Mommy, what is outside?" A soft glutinous voice sounded. A three-year-old baby girl stumbly asked the young woman beside her. The woman smiled gently at her baby. She remembered she once used to ask her mother this same question. Looking out the dark sky outside the tower, the same view as it has always been. She sighed. "Sweetheart, the world is scary." She also said the same words as her mother. The little baby pouted and turned back from the window. Kids this age are easily distracted. She pulled the picture book beside her and played with it. After a moment, she pointed at the prince. "Prince! Little princess has, me no?" The little girl asked her mother. The innocent baby only has a few playthings and no playmate. She can't help but look at the princess in the book and also wants what she has. The young woman's eyes dropped to the picture book, the only book the both of them shared. It was the same book she also read when she was young. "Well, you will have Prince soon.
Two figures, one small and one slender, sat on the bed. The young woman was playing with her little daughter. Aside from necessities, they don’t have many playthings in their hands. They were not allowed to touch sharp, mechanical, and other things that might utilize them to escape. So, the two of them could only play by themselves. They would look at the picture book, again and again, make up some stories that might happen after, or just playhouse using the things in their room. When suddenly, the door burst open, and the caretaker lady rushed to them. “The master is here! This is a rush, child come with me, quickly!” She anxiously said as she grabbed the child’s arm. “Mom..” The baby tried to call out. The young woman tried to reach out to her daughter, but she was quickly taken away. A memory from long ago when she was just a child came to her, it was exactly like this when the mister would come for her mother. So is that Master the lady spoke of… the man from four years ago?
The young goddess sat on the bed alone and waited anxiously. When she heard the clank of the door, she slowly raised her head. She first saw the black and shiny leather shoes of a man, up to his expensive three-piece suit, and to his handsome and exquisite face. This face overlap with the face of the man from four years ago. His young playful countenance in the past was replaced by a more mature and solemn face. The air in him screams power and authority, different from the gentleness she saw that night. The young woman’s breath hitched as she stared at him in a daze. And the man before him also did so. He saw she grew up to be even more beautiful. Her former petite figure could vividly be seen as more voluptuous and tantalizing. Remembering the little girl outside, his eyes darkened again. His steps drew closer to the large bed. When he arrived at the edge, he looked down at the woman sprawled in the sheets, sitting with a shawl slipping from her shoulders, showing her white an
Leon immediately took action. He made sure no soul would tell what happened that day at the abandoned building. With power and money, he can easily do this. He also had connections with the authorities, and it was not hard to suppress this matter from spreading out.He then cleaned up the parasites in his company and kicked them out without second thoughts.They were not only one of them, and he knew it. So, this time, he didn’t take risks and immediately tore down their faces.Then, he also used underhanded means to buy and spill the dirty waters of those who dared to prey on his family.Do they think only they could use underhanded means? He was also willing to dirty his hands just to protect his beloveds.Coercion, blackmail, and soiling their reputation, Leon did all that just to make them pay.And seeing this, anyone in the business circle feared and wouldn’t dare to plot against the Albrecht family.…………………………………………………………………………….After all that happened, it left a shadow on Anik
In the following days, Anika stayed in the mansion. And these days, she noticed that Leon had become busier. He had also restricted where they would go at the moment. He said that it was best for them to stay home, aside from Adelaide’s school.Anika felt it was unnatural, but when she saw Leon’s tension, no matter how much he hid it, she chose to follow him obediently.Until her foreboding feeling actually happened.“Anika! Something happened in Adelaide’s school!”……………………………………………………………………..“Don’t you dare hurt my daughter,” Leon said in a dangerous voice. his eyes were vicious right now and if this man was in front of him, he would tear him to pieces.“Too bad you offended someone vicious. But maybe you’ll meet one day. Only, as someone who is against you,” The voice from the other side of the phone said cruelly and let off an evil laugh.With a beep, the phone was hung up.“Damn!” Leon furiously slammed the phone in the car hood.In the current days, Leon couldn’t deny that the
The time of their departure arrived, but before that, the old Madame, who was Madame Lestrange, went to Anika to apologize.“That time from the banquet. I apologize. I hope you spare my old face,” The old woman said with a stiff face.She held a lukewarm expression, but deep inside, she was greatly indignant.She had reached such an age, when did she ever apologize?! But now, she could only grit her teeth and endure.Anika looked at Leon in hesitation, and seeing him nod, she turned back to the old lady.“It’s fine, Madame,” She responded softly.Leon didn’t let Anika be awkward for long and took her away.And Madame Lestrange only watched the leaving car with cold eyes. Just wait.……………………………………………………………………..Arriving home, Anika spent her days in the mansion while Leon was busy with the project. And Sera felt distressed for her.“Let’s go shopping!” Sera invited, coming to their home early in the morning.“Shopping?” Anika asked, tilting her head.“What, don’t you shop?” Sera asked
After Leon settled and calmed Anika down, he and Alexander went out again to handle the matter quickly.In his mind, he was not desperate for the bidding project. And he wouldn’t sacrifice his family just for this.Even though that old woman had high status, he would make her apologize to his family.Leon thought coldly as he made some phone calls.While Anika continued to spend time with Sera. As of now, the ladies were avoiding them like a plague, as if afraid that they would be implicated.But Sera didn’t mind. She was also not interested in hanging out with those fake and plastic, rich ladies.She preferred to be with Anika. Although she was still whispering how stupid she was but in her mind, she thought,She’s so stupid, who will defend her if she gets bullied?Sera sighed like an old mother. Therefore, she decided to take it to herself to watch over this stupid lady.She would reluctantly accept her as a friend like the big girl that she is. Sera thought with a pointed nose.Wi
“Whose child is this?!’” A sharp voice sounded.Anika immediately turned to the voice and saw someone pointing to Adelaide.She hurriedly stood up and ran to her daughter.Yes, today’s event was less formal. It was a casual banquet, so they took Adelaide with them.Currently, the ladies are having tea in the outdoor garden.Who knew they would immediately encounter a problem?“Is this your daughter? How do you teach her? She hurt my granddaughter!” The elder woman with a luxurious fur coat said in a strict voice.She had an undeniable majesty around her. It could be seen that her identity is not trivial.Anika hurriedly kneeled to level with Adelaide and asked her.“Sweetheart, what happened?” Adelaide pouted and hugged her doll.“She wanted to take my doll,” The child answered softly.Anika rubbed her back and turned to the elderly lady.“It’s, it’s not my daughter's fault,” She tried to reason out.“What do you mean? Your child pushed my granddaughter!” The elderly angrily pointed.
Leon arrived at their table and saw that Alexander was already there, beside his cousin.He went to the seat next to Anika.“Were you fine while I was gone?” Leon asked as he caressed Anika’s hair.Anika nodded.“The dessert is delicious,” She answered softly.Leon smiled and gave her some fruit juice to rinse her throat.Shortly, the banquet started. The main course meals were served.At their table, the businessmen were talking about the project. Some talked about the market and investments.“Just bare it for a moment..” They heard Alexander whisper beside them.Anika turned and saw Alexander whispering to Seraphina.“But I’m bored,” Sera complained while playing with her food.Alexander could sigh helplessly.Then Sera dropped her cutleries and wiped her lips with a napkin.“I’ll find Andrei, he’s more fun than you. Hmp,” She said and stood from her seat. She fixed her skirt and happily left to find her other cousin.Leon looked gloatingly at Alexander.“Don’t look at me like that
“Who are you?” A young but haughty voice asked.Anika turned in that direction and saw a girl wearing a pink ruffled cocktail dress. She had milky skin, jet-black hair, and her cute face was a contrast to her snobbish expression.“I know everyone assigned to this table. This is my first time seeing you,” She squinted his eyes as she studied Anika.Anika blinked and answered hurriedly.“I’m Anika,”The girl tilted her head and raised a brow. Anika? She thought for a while and remembered something. Anika seemed to be the name of the newlywed wife of the Albrecht family.“You’re Mrs. Albrecht?” She asked again.Anika nodded, looking vigilantly at the other.The girl hummed and sat in her seat, two seats away from Anika. At the moment, only the two of them were at the table.She turned to Anika, still a bit haughty.“I’m Seraphina. My cousin is friends with your husband. I didn’t go to your wedding because-“ Seraphina was stumped for a while.Why didn’t she go again? Oh, right, it seems..
“I’m going on a business trip. Do you want to come with me?” It was days later, and Leon offered this trip. He knew everything left a shadow for Anika, and he wanted to cheer her up.It was just right timing that he had a business trip abroad, and this would be a great opportunity to take Anika and their daughter for their first overseas trip aside from the honeymoon trip.Anika’s low mood brightened a bit when she heard they were going to other countries, and they would be riding a plane. She hadn’t experienced this before, so she looked forward in her heart.So, everything was settled. They packed up and once again took Nanny Rose with them and left the mansion in Steward Ben’s care.Anika and Adelaide boarded their first plane in their life. The family rode their family’s privately owned jet.“We’re in the sky..” Anika whispered mesmerizingly as she looked out of the window and saw the clouds and the land becoming small.“Sky!” Little Adie also cheered happily. Even though they fe
“Mr. Albrecht, please have mercy on our daughter,” An honest-looking but haggard couple stood outside the gate, with their backs hunched, humbly begging for Leon’s lenience.It was Esther’s parents. They had hurriedly come after hearing what had happened. They traveled overnight, therefore appearing disheveled in front of Leon. But their perseverance was not weak. Although their backs were hunched, they were tenacious, as if they wouldn’t leave until they could save their daughter.Leon’s brows furrowed as he stared at the humble parents.The couple thought Leon thought of them as a nuisance, and they immediately became flustered. Although they were ignorant townsfolks, they knew that powerful people like this man could hold the laws in their hands. No matter how much they would try to defend their daughter, this man could turn the tables to his advantage. So, they could only come and beg for mercy.“Mister, it is this old couple’s fault. We didn’t educate our daughter properly. Plea
