THOMAS POVI taken off the hoodie earlier and the nose mask as well, so that she would not figure out that I was actually the guy that she had met at the elevator though I doubt that she would have been embarrassed by that but then it would have brought to me as to why I was following her down the elevator and pretending to be someone else.The plan was very simple right now and it would remain simple as long as she did not bring any unnecessary complications into it. I would allow her to believe her delusions a little better. It's not as if I could convince her to do otherwise.As I lived with her on the bed it was as if I was lying down with 1000 cockroaches and after thinking about it, I saw that that would have been a more preferable situation than this.I kept my calm and even moved my hand to stroke her hair.Her hair was so rough it was as if I was stroking a rock by the ocean. But I kept a smile on my face making sure that she did not know how irritated I was doing all of this
BRENDA POV“ Is that how you wanted to end up here? Did that bastard also sell you off to the dark market when he saw that you were resisting his rule?”I asked Stacy as I adjusted my sitting position for the fifth time in the last 10 minutes and she was speaking time did not even seem to pass as she was speaking because I was so focused on what she was saying and at the same time it seem to fly so quickly because I was also so invested in what she was saying but she shook her head affirming that what I had said was actually not correct.“He wasn't able to sell me because I escaped...”I was surprised that Stacy must be stronger than how I saw her if she was able to escape a situation where the entire pack was kept on lockdown.“Stacy must be very strong to have been able to get out of that situation when so many people would have not even taken the risk.”She blinked her eyelids with surprise. This could not mean something bad right then she let out a little laughter. It did not even
THOMAS POV“Baby I don't see why you are so upset... eventually we were going to announce our relationship to the whole kingdom...”This was how Jessica kept bubbling in my ears while I was trying to think of a plan as I was walking, alright then so she had kind of eliminated the whole point of having her here in the first place with what she had done .If it wasn't for the fact that I saw her as an easy link into getting into the dark market without drawing out the fact that I was the prince and blowing my whole cover I would have just left her to whatever would happen to her in this resort.But because of that sole reason I would have to think of a way to use this to my advantage just like how I was taking advantage of the fact that she was a member of the dark market.When we finally came to my room I came over to the couch and she soon joined me putting her hands on my lap and giving me the rush to throw them off which I immediately did.“If you really care about me, Jessica, you
THOMAS POVI had already prepared my look of complete shock before she said that as I allow my hands to Fall and then my eyeballs became so wide that it looked as if they were going to pop out of my sockets then I kept my mouth open and agape as if I was still recovering from the shock of hearing what I just heard from her.“I know what you are thinking my dear, that the dark market is some kind of sinister place but the truth is that it is just like any other market, when you get there you are able to find the goods you want and buy and you can also sell as well...”I was really going to throw up because of this woman , look at the way she was shamelessly defending The dark market, trying to sugarcoat what they do and feeding me these lies with that ever plastic smile that was always hanging on her face and giving me unnecessary shivers of cold.I was always very careful around her. It would have been far too suspicious if I had just jumped on the idea of getting involved with the da
THOMAS POV“Baby why did you just send anyway there's a better punishment you could have given them did you see what that b**** did to me?”I was rubbing my fingers on my forehead so that I would not run mad because of all this woman's constant and endless blabbing. I had thought that she was actually unbearable before but this was something else.Since attitude and his wife had left after causing a big scene a few minutes ago she had not allowed me to drink a cup and put it back where I had taken it from saying that I have to punish them severely for what they have done to her.“baby can you see my face it's awful terrible a complete disaster how dare they do something to me and after insulting me as well you have to teach them a good lesson she kept one thing over and over and over again so I thought that I was going to run mad on the spot finally I got up grabbed her by her shoulders and shoved her into the couch to sit down.” Look, didn't you know this is part of being queen? A l
BRENDA'S POV“Something far more sinister?” She repeated after me as she relaxed her body a bit, resting her back gradually on the wall that was a little less cold than the ground that we were sitting on but still very cold.“I don't understand Brenda but could it even be worse than this?"The idea weight heavily in my mind and I wondered if it was what depriving the girl in front of me the little sense of relief that she had behaviour thinking that the worst part that waited her was just being slave, though as someone that has lived through that I knew that was just a life for a living corpse.” Brenda... Brenda!“a voice came over to me breaking me from my bed of thoughts as she shook me by my shoulder.” oh I'm sorry I just think that what I'm having is a crazy idea it might not even be any good don't worry...“However she shook her head insisting that she wanted to know what I had to say.” Brenda in a place like this we can't keep secrets from each other and it's not as if either
BRENDA'S POVThere was so much that I wanted to know from Stacy. We had never really gotten to the point of her story when she was sold to the dark market but unfortunately there was a chance that I would never get to hear the rest of her story and see how the rest of my pack was doing.The people in the cell began to panic as the collector walked into the huge cell, and then after a few moments he picked up a lanky boy then before I knew it he was heading towards Stacy as well, her face seem to be totally void of color as she looked at me, the poor thing had already been through so much that if she was taken now.I had forgotten how she told me that this place worked with this regular selections but the best case scenario was that he was going to be sold like a slave, THAT was the best case scenario my heart was moved for her and so I decided to attack the person that was coming to get her.I threw a punch at him, my hand feeling as heavy as lead as it landed against the wall. Well,
THOMAS POV“I couldn’t stop staring at Brenda, I just hope she doesn’t notice it’s me.” I looked around the place and adjusted my mask.Though I am on mask I don’t think she’ll be able to recognize me here. I faced front and tried not to look at where she was standing.I finally summoned the courage to look at the direction she was standing at but I was shocked to see she was no longer standing there.“Where did they take Brenda to?” I asked myself, I almost took off my mask When I realized I’ll be severely punished if I do a thing like that. I had to act normal and pretend like I am not searching for anyone.I moved from where I was standing to another direction trying to find out where she is.“Was she taken back to the cell?” I asked myself after looking around.“Prince do you have anything to say.” I was shocked when I heard this question. I looked around and I noticed everyone’s attention was now on me.I had to move forward and address everyone, the moment I climbed up I sighted
