Chapter 8: BelleA sweet aroma penetrated my nose as it awoke my senses of smell. I squirmed on my bed and inhaled more of the sweet aroma but immediately jumped off the bed when the memories of last night's ordeal came rushing back to me. I panicked and accidentally bumped into the breakfast table by the bedside. I cringed as I anticipated the crashing sound but instead, I heard a burst of tiny laughter. I knitted my brows in confusion and looked around the room but there was no one. Surprisingly enough, the breakfast table was intact and so was its content. Before I passed out, I thought I saw a candlelight move and now, I was hearing voices in a room that was void of humans except me. I let my gaze travel around the room admiring it. The room was so big, my eyes couldn’t take in everything. The walls were painted grey, while the curtains were black. It was obvious to me from the decor that it was a man's room but what man?“Did Gaston take me home?” I thought but then canceled th
Chapter 9: Adam/BeastThe sun had gone down and the curse had lifted. I was in my human form again and I felt it was the perfect time to go see the maiden. My plan was perfect. The stallion had gone back and it brought forth the little thing’s daughter just like I had planned.She had walked right in screaming in my castle like the imposter she was. When I got to her, I wanted to bare my teeth at her and see how much of a coward she was. But for some reason I couldn’t understand, my heart flipped over the moment I saw her walking into my castle. There was something about her, I couldn’t quite put a finger on it but it was there. And this melted my conviction. I couldn’t be mean to her just like that… so I did what I thought was best. I asked Lumiere to lock her up in one of the upper bedrooms.Now that the sun was down, I could go to her. I wanted her to see me in my real form – and not the one the witch had cursed me in. I took a long bath and threw on my best shirt and pants. I stoo
Chapter 10: Adam/Beast“How dare you!” I growled as I pinned her to the wall with my hand tightly holding around her neck. No living being had tried raising their hands to me and this maiden had not even a single ounce of fear in her!Rather than plead and beg for mercy like the others before, she seemed to be lost in thoughts as she stared at my reddened eyes. Her lack of fear was weakening my anger. She was doing something to me and I could feel it.I lessened my grip on her neck and watched as she panted hard, trying to catch her breath. The way her chest moved up and down in a rhythmic motion was too enticing to ignore. My fingers developed a mind of their own and they began trailing along her neckline.Goosebumps appeared wherever my fingers touched and her breathing became ragged as she bit down on her bottom lip.My cold hands were warmer on her pale skin and I found myself enjoying it. I moved a finger to her chest and slowly, I began to circle her breasts. Before I could move
Chapter 11: Belle“Will you release my papa?” I asked as he reached the doorknob. The waves of pleasure that had washed over me were finally over and the first thing on my mind after my guilt was my papa.He turned and an evil smirk sat on his face. “My offer still stands. Sleep with me and I shall release him,” he said before turning the door knob open. My hot gaze fell on his retreating back and at that moment I wished I could turn them to lasers so he could get burned. How evil was this irresistible man? Was he the beast? How could he want me to sleep with him before he released my papa? What had gotten into men these days?A small vice reminded me of Gaston asking for the same thing but I defended him in my mind. I have known Gaston for years. He had enough time to look at me and desire for me but this man… we barely met a few torturous minutes ago. And in those minutes, we argued, we made out and he almost killed me. What sort of man was– "Oh and this is just the beginning my l
Chapter 12: BelleAn angry growl snapped us from our father-daughter reunion and I immediately knew it was the Beast. He must have found out the strange guy had snuck me out of the room.Shit!I needed to find a way out of here before he got to us. “Papa we need to leave here,” I said as I started pulling him with me but he resisted. I turned to him with a confused glare. “Papa, what are you doing?”"I think you should get going Belle. I don't want that monster to get a hold of you. He is very cruel, I tell you, my child," Papa said and nudged me towards the dungeon door. He was shaking all over as he nudged me away but I held both of his hands and stopped him.“No, papa. I came here to get you and I won’t leave without you. Let’s get going!” I said through my teeth. I hadn’t worked this hard only to get here and then run away like a coward. “I will not leave you behind, papa!” I added with determination."No Belle, you have not seen this creature. It will not think twice before devou
Chapter 13: Belle"Where are you taking me to?" I asked, trying to act brave even though I was scared as shit on the inside. "No questions! You promised to do anything to save your papa, so let's go!" The Beast growled and with that, it started pulling me away from my Papa’s arms."Wait, what about my papa?" I eagerly asked."He would be transferred to a better room until you have fulfilled your promise!" He muttered as we walked further away. I turned back and saw as one of the creatures took a hold of my papa and teleported out of the dungeon."You had better keep to your promise!" I snapped at the Beast beside me."I could say the same to you," the Beast said and scoffed, picked me up on his shoulder like a sack of empty grain, and left the dungeon.He took me back to the rooms upstairs and opened the very one I was in earlier. He dropped me unceremoniously to the bed and without saying a word, he walked out again. I heard the door bolt up this time and I knew there was no way for
AdamI could have dragged her to my study but I needed a moment to myself. I needed to calm my racing heart or I could hurt her by wanting to take too much at a time. When I had walked to her room last night and I didn’t find her there. My heart raced so much I feared she might have gone.I have never felt so much anger like I had experienced the previous night. Which was why when I found her in the dungeon I couldn’t control the monster. It had a mind of its own. It wanted to reprimand her for trying to run from us. But deep down, her action was another tickle to my stone heart. I never thought humans could be selfless. She had the opportunity to run but she didn’t take it. She went back for her father. All through the night this had disturbed me. I was intrigued by her. I wanted to know what sort of human she was for she was too different to be made of the same material as the rest of them.I walked to my study and lowered myself to a seat.Initially, I wanted to find a way to sleep
Chapter 15: BelleI watched him leave the study and I couldn’t believe what he had just said. He said I could spend the night with my papa before he sent him home the next day. He was so unpredictable. One moment he was cold and annoying like his beast of a brother and another moment, he was laughing out loud like a very sweet person but some other time, he became this sexual desire I couldn’t deny. I couldn’t even control myself around him. I was usually a very calm person but when he was with me, I had murderous thoughts. I got angry and I said things without thinking. I couldn’t tell why I got angry so easily whenever he was around me. To think I didn’t even know his name, drove me crazy!I would have to ask for his name the next time he came.The sounds of his footsteps stopped and I decided to get up from the seat and move out of the study. I got by the door and stopped. I didn’t know which way to go.“He didn’t even say where they were keeping him!” I muttered under my breath.
“Mish! Get your ass down, dinner is ready,” my younger sister, Evelyn, shouted from downstairs. I came back from school three hours ago and I’ve been on my bed sulking and constantly resisting the urge to scream at the top of my voice.Mrs. Shantel and Mr. Brett? How long has that been going on under my nose? I stalked Mr. Brett well enough to have known. I sat up swiftly and stretched my hand to pick my phone from my nightstand. Impatiently, I logged into Instagram.Pfft, of course I’m not on Instagram. I logged in with my sister’s account. Being bullied offline is only the much I can bear, thank you very much.It didn’t take me much time to get to Mr. Brett’s profile. I stared at his relationship status and it stared back at me. It was boldly written SINGLE. Just to be sure, I wore my glasses and glanced hard at it. It still remained SINGLE. I searched for Mrs. Shantel’s profile and found out that she was married.“Then why the hell were you fucking someone not your husband!!” I scr
It was the early hours of Monday morning, 6:00am to be precise, and I was already in the cobwebby school basement, tucked away in the only neat corner. Of course, the neat corner of the basement, which I had turned into my niche, was cleaned up by me. You must definitely be wondering what kind of psycho cleans up the school basement to spend her mornings and what for! Well, to cut the long story short, it was my only means of survival. If I wanted to get through my remaining days in high school, then I had to do this. This was me doing what I did best, hiding away from my sworn enemy, traitor, rival, tormentor, give it all the name you could think of. Synonymous to those names is Kelly Parker. Kelly is the Queen bee of Beverly High. I hate her with all my heart, but she’s beautiful. Breathing-taking kind of beautiful, I’m not going to lie. I just hate her the more for that, because why should she be so perfect? Of course, she is the head cheerleader and she is dating Bruce Paschal,
Ariel's POV For two days after that, I waited for the man to show himself. It was almost like he purposely ignored me. When I realized that he wouldn't show himself unless something drastic happened, I waited for the guard that brought my food -food I refused to eat since I've been held in here- to appear. The moment he rounded the corner that led to my cell, I yanked off the pendant from my neck. I went instantly invisible. When the guard reached the cell and saw no one, the tray containing the food fell off his hands, and he let out a scream. Two more guards rushed in, probably thinking I managed to subdued their colleague. When they saw what he saw, they all trembled out of shock. "Report the incident to prince Eric right now!" One of the guards yelled to the other one that came in with him. That one nodded and rushed off to deliver the message. The guard turned to the one that brought me the food, looking at him in a suspicious way. "Did you let her off?" He asked."What the he
Ariel's POVIt felt like my ears just deceived me. I blinked once, then twice. I looked at the man who had just finished pleasuring me -the tingles and soreness between my legs were the testament of that fact- like he was out of his mind. And perhaps he was. Otherwise, why would he sprout such nonsense about arresting me? And that too for what? For stealing? Me?I looked at him and shook my head. Sure that I heard him wrong. I waited for him to take his words back, but he didn't. When a minute or two passed with nothing from him to refute his words, I lifted up my tied hands and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The eyes he turned on me were so cold and stony, I shivered."Are you serious about arresting me?" I inquired from him. The river made a ripple effect and I was reminded of the fact that I was gone for too long. If I didn't return back to my room as soon as possible, there was every possibility that my father would find out about my disappearance. It that happen
Eric's POV "The real thing I have here could do a better job than that toy!" I shouted at her from the shadows. I watched as the toy fell from her hand because of the shock she experienced."Wh-who is th-there?" She sounded as scared as she felt. I saw her looking around in the darkness, probably thinking of where to hide from the predator that sneaked up on her. My first thought was to let her suffer a sudden heart attack, just as she had done for me. That would be the easiest revenge I could take on her. But my tratious body refused to comply with that act. How could it? Somehow, I found the courage to get out of the palace after three days of hiding in my room. My courage wasn't bold enough to leave during the day when I could feel all eyes on me, so I did it by night. I was already angry when I found myself walking to this place rather than anywhere else. I was even about to turn around when I heard someone moan my name softly. I traced the voice and I saw the same girl moaning
Ariel's POVFor three days after I returned to the house, I couldn't help but think about how I would be able to get my Dada to release me from the home imprisonment he kept me in. Even as I paced to and fro the length of the room I was in, no idea came to me. I balked at how it was becoming increasingly hard to think straight these days. Each time I sat down to think, only the thought of Eric and what he would do to me came. I would spend hours and hours fantasising about the man. By the time I realize that I needed to think of a way to get out of the mess I was in in order to actually see him, I would start thinking of an escape plan. Barely five minutes into the deep thinking, I would find myself thinking about Eric again... just like I currently was.I was floating on top of my bed. My hands were on my breasts and I kept culling and squeezing them the same way I saw Eric did that day at the beach. I moaned as I imagined it was his hands playing with my breasts instead of mine. St
Eric's POVAs mother continued to hold me, she patted my back softly with her hand. I knew I was displaying a moment of weakness to the queen, but at the stage where I currently was, none of all those palace rules mattered to me. I just wanted someone to show me that I wouldn't go crazy because of a certain human.Was she even hunan? Someone that could play with another's person's feelings like that didn't deserve to be regarded as a human. "She's a selfish, cunning, and the most heartless person I've ever seen!" I bursted out, unable to contain my contempt for the woman.My mum didn't say anything and just continued to pat me like she was already doing. The outburst, however, gave in to the anger I had been trying to rein in ever since I woke up that morning and found out about that girl's betrayal."How could she have deceived me like that?" I let out again.To me, she was stupid. If she wasn't, she would have realized that I was already infatuated with her. She could have easily d
Eric's POVI didn't know what to make of the situation that happened just a few minutes ago. Ever since I collapsed on my bed, I found it extremely hard to get up. How could I when it felt like my world was crumbling down beside me?I found it hard to believe within myself that the same girl I trusted enough to bring into the palace. The same girl I was so worried about I didn't want her to spend an entire night outside during the cold. The very same girl we spent the same night on the same bed, pleasuring each other to stupor. I couldn't believe that the same girl had thought nothing wrong about betraying me.How could I have been so draft? How could I have let her deceive me just like that? Why didn't I see beneath the fake skin she was wearing to the real one? Now that I thought about it, her excuse of getting lost while with her friends seemed flimsy. Heck, everything about her felt and sounded completely fake. I was sure that the reason she approached me in the first instance wa
CHAPTER THIRTEENARIEL'S POV Sebastian sat across me with an intense look in his eyes. I reckoned I would have the same look if someone sat me down to tell the exact story I was telling him at the moment.It happened to me yet somehow I found it unbelievable. It just felt like the kind of shit that should only be possible in movies. Poorly scripted movies."So you opened the door to the right-"I nodded. "I opened it."He leaned in closer to me almost as if he wanted to merge with me. His eyes bulged out in their socket and his teeth clattered. Goosebumps appeared all over my skin as I remembered how I felt in the dark corridor turning the door knob."I could have swore he was behind me- breathing just behind me." I said as I controlled the impulse to cringe.Sebastian gasped. "Was he there?"I shook my head. He wasn't there when I turned around but the presence didn't go away. It stuck with me even as the door opened."What did you find inside?" Flounder asked speaking for the first
