Jaselyn's POVI find myself more than a little grateful that I'd survived that horrible ordeal. The aftermath comes with its own pains but the painkillers really do help, I'll admit.I was truly surprised to open my eyes and realize that I'm still in the land of the living. I panicked a bit but the doctor was able to calm me down and explain everything to the best of her ability.I found out from the nurse that Rion had broken me out of the chains, hurting himself in the process and that he had also donated some of his blood to me.It brought a smile to my face and a warm feeling bloomed in my chest. At my dying moment, I thought I was truly alone in this world but he's reminded me that I'm not alone. There are still people who care for me and would be really sad if I died. That's enough for me to keep pushing on for now.And then that man— Zane had the audacity to show his face in front of me like he wasn't practically responsible for all this.He brought me here as a prisoner, he ga
Jaselyn's POVI was wheeled into a large, beautiful room. Everything seemed new and the air smelled of roses. The maid informed me this would be my new room and helped me get settled in. I was happy to finally be out of that cramped space but I didn't show it.Resting back on the huge queen sized bed that was the softest thing I'd ever laid on, I asked the maid about my belongings.“Could you please get my things? I think they're still in the attic.”“No, no. You won't be needing any of that.” She said with a smile and I frowned.“Why?”“The Alpha had this room stocked with everything you would need. The wardrobe is full of new clothes and the dresser has all the makeup and accessories you might need. You also have a closet full of footwear to match with whatever dress you'd like to wear.” She said and I had to pinch myself to ascertain if I'd heard properly.“Are you sure I'm in the right room? You know who I am, right?” I asked and she chuckled like I'd just said something silly.“D
Jaselyn's POVSo many questions flooded my mind at the thought that Zane is moving into this room with me. Why, though? The only reason I can think of is that he wants to torment me despite my injuries. At least I know what he meant when he said he was going to be seeing me soon.I could only watch helplessly as his things were moved into the room. The maids left and anxiety encompassed my being but the drugs kicked in and I fell into a sedated, dreamless sleep.Nae woke me up in the afternoon to eat and take another dose of the medicine. I fell asleep right after again, not being able to do much but sleep. I guess I should appreciate the fact that I can rest now because Isla is going to surely make me work overtime after I recover.When I woke up again, it was evening, just a little over sunset. The weight on my bladder told me that I needed to pee but Nae wasn't around and I didn't want to be a burden by calling out to her.If Nila was with me, she probably would vehemently kick aga
Jaselyn's POV“No! Are you out of your mind?! Do you really think I'll let you pull something like that?” I asked incredulously.“I already told you, I won't do anything I'm not supposed to.” He replied and I rolled my eyes.“Like that's reassuring.”“It's more efficient this way rather than my bathing first and then getting wet when I bathe you. The other way around still involves my clothes getting wet.” He reasoned.“So what? It's just clothes. It's not like you're a cat or something.” I retorted but he ignored me and stripped down to his underwear. Before I could blink, he took that off as well and I turned so quickly I feared I was going to snap my neck.“Seriously, what is wrong with you? Have you no sense of decency? Warn me before you go naked or at the very least put a towel on.”“What's the point? We're getting in the tub together. You're going to see it all and you might even get to feel it as well.” He said and though I wasn't looking, I could practically feel the smirk in
Jaselyn's POVWhen I woke up, I was alone. Thankfully. Waking up next to him would have certainly ruined my morning. The sun shines brightly into the room through the open window and the chirping of birds is loud. I yawn and stretch a bit, my mind slowly recalling the events of the previous day.After that awkward conversation, I'd fallen asleep in the bath and now I'm waking up in bed. He apparently carried me back to bed but I hope that yesterday's conversation will be enough to get him to move back into his room with Isla. I finally openly admitted to him that I hate him. He shouldn't waste his time trying to continue whatever plan he was carrying out.Just then, there's a gentle knock on the door and Nae comes in. Seeing her makes me smile.“Good morning, ma'am.” She greeted me and my smile faded.Ma'am? Seriously?“I didn't think I would need to tell you to drop the formalities. Jas is fine.” I scolded her playfully and she beamed.“Alright, let me correct myself. Good morning, J
Jaselyn's POVWhat?! Ziarre is……pregnant?When I took too long to respond, she panicked.“I'm sorry, it must be such a shock. You probably have your own problems to worry about. It was selfish of me to burden you with this.” She rushed out and I scooted to the edge of the bed, close to her.“No, I'm not burdened at all. I was just not expecting that you would tell me something so important. Thank you for sharing this with me and congratulations.” I corrected and she relaxed, a small smile stretching her lips.“Well, thank you.”“What do you mean by what you said? You haven't told Rion because you're not sure you want to keep it? Why is that?” I asked.“Yes. The thing is, I don't know if I'm ready to have a child yet. I know it's weird for me to say this, considering I work with children but it's truly how I feel. I'm clumsy and a little awkward. I don't know if I'm mature enough to raise a child or if I deserve to have one yet.” She played with her fingers as she spoke, keeping her e
Jaselyn's POV “He raped me. And what's worse is, the next morning when he woke up in bed with me naked, teary faced, covered in bruises, absolutely traumatized and non verbal; he didn't even apologize.Not that it would have changed anything but perhaps it would have been a lot easier on me, knowing that he was remorseful, that it was a stupid mistake and he'd never do it again.Instead, he blamed me once again, attributing his atrocious act to the fact that I had grown up to be an exact copy of my mother, both in appearance and character so I might as well just take her place.It continued on and he kept forcing himself on me against my will. To make it easier on me, I'd space out during the disgusting deed so I wouldn't have to acknowledge that I was being violated by my own father.This kept on for 2 years and eventually, I couldn't delude myself anymore. It felt like I would go crazy or my mind would shut down, just like what happened to mum.I was too ashamed to reach out for he
Jaselyn's POV He asked what he was doing wrong and begged me to reconsider but I told him I wasn't good for him. It would be best for him to move on and find someone better.He told me I was the only one he needed and when he still wouldn't budge, I threatened to reject him so he let me go. I somehow managed to suppress my feelings throughout the ordeal but as soon as I was away from him, I broke down and cried like a child.I was miserable and couldn't go to work. My heart was hurting and I wanted to see him, wanted to be held by him.He managed to sneak into my room and caught me in that miserable state. I told him to leave but then he started professing his love for me again and told me he was willing to change into the man I could spend the rest of my life with. I couldn't stand it. I blurted out to him that I was the problem, not him.It was too late to take it back and I gave in to the pressure and told him everything, fully prepared to be rejected but that man surprised me lik
