I am wearing one of the many nice dresses that Mrs. Lynch owns, but as I touch the blue lace, my nerves cringe throughout my entire body.I thought getting the interview would be the hard part, but now I realize I have to crush it. I’ll have to stay true to the person written on that application; that may be more challenging than I initially thought. While most of what I wrote is fake, I tried to stay true to who I am, but I am not a Noble-- I am not sure I can pull them off the etiquette one would possess.“You’ll have till dinner, Belle,” Rae reassures me. “That’s way more time than you need.” She says with glassy eyes as she scans me. “You look absolutely stunning! King Madden will definitely choose you,” she says, finally placing her hand on my shoulder and urging me to face the mirror. I slowly turn around to see myself as a proper Noble f
Madden“And you are willing to commit to living here until after the baby is born?” Mallard asks the third candidate he has chosen from the green file folder. I watch as she smiles brightly, but I am not impressed. She doesn’t hold any qualities I am interested in, and I had already put her in the no pile for a reason…. Just like the others.“Yes, I have already spoken to my family,” she beams. “We have all agreed that you have the best medical staff here, and not only would it be safer for me but for the future heir of the kingdom,” she says, pulling her hair to the right side of her shoulder as her eyes meet mine.Mallard nods, tapping his pen lightly against the candidate score paper as he thinks over her answer, making me smirk.Ever since I gave him the responsibility of choosing, he has become very serious about every girl who has walked through these doors to interview…. serious is something Mallard rarely is, and I must say, I am impressed. “And Ms. Cultry, have you ever had
AnnabelleI sigh as I wash the dishes, watching out the window as I wonder when the evil woman will return. After dinner last night, she made me scrub the main living area marble with a sponge—as if pulling my hair, threatening us, and humiliating me wasn’t enough; she just had to make sure I knew just how much I NEED her. No, how much WE need her.However, she’s right. No one else would allow Rae to stay for free, with just me as a live-in maid. I know that, but I also have hope that King Madden will choose me, and we will be able to get away from this evil woman and her vile husband.After loading the last dish into the dishwasher, I carefully shut it, only to be startled by the hot wisp of breath on my neck. I jump back, and he laughs behind me, grabbing my hips with his hands, “Did I scare you?” He whispers into my ear, making my skin crawl.I shake my head, biting my tongue before I speak, “A little, Mr. Lynch,” I confess as I grab his hands, pulling them off my hips before movin
Madden“Can you tell King Madden what talents you possess?” My best friend, Mallard, asks the surrogate candidate sitting across from us. This has been a standard question throughout the entire process, and none of the answers have stood out, to say the least.“Talents?” She giggles. “You mean like with my tongue?” she says before licking her lips. My eyes widen, but Mallard grins, his hand reaching across the table, but before he can speak, I stand up.“I’m sorry, but this interview is over,” I say as I begin to walk toward the door to show her out.“I-I-I’m sorry,” She stammers before she stands in shock for a moment. I can tell by the look of sheer surprise on her face that she didn’t know I meant a non-sexual talent, but seriously? I don’t need a whore to carry my child; I need a respectable woman—one that doesn’t put her blow job skills on display at an interview.She walks to the door and pauses, turning to face Mallard, “Call me,” She mouths, and he grins as he nods, bursting
Annabelle“These are all the documents?” I ask before grabbing the large envelope from the forger. I watch his beady eyes scan me as I open it and examine each one to make sure he isn’t trying to deceive me, but the crook is telling the truth. I sigh in relief. Everything I need to become the Dragon King’s surrogate is here: A new birth certificate, a fake lineage line, and a fake certificate of noble blood to boot- the most important one I need.“Yes, they are all there,” He smirks before leaning back in his chair. “Did you bring the money?” I nod, reaching beside me into my knapsack and pulling out the largest wad of cash I have ever held.I’m not proud of how I got this, but I am out of options, and sometimes, you must beg, kill, or steal when you are on your last prayer…. and it’s not being answered.I just hope this is all worth it….I take a deep breath before handing him the money, reminding myself that this is the only way to save my sister’s life; I must do this. He snatches
