*GABBY'S POV*As soon as he stormed out of the kitchen after molesting me for the second time in one day, I couldn't help but run off to the room Marcella showed me.I slammed the door hard and made good use of the lock. It was my room like Marcella said, right?I shut out all the noise, all the anger, all the hate I felt for this man.For some reason, I felt a very strong urge to take someone's life. If not his, then mine.He was the one hitting on a maid in front of his sham of a wife and yet, I was the one who paid for his own mistake. I was sitting on the floor and crying when I heard some chattering outside. It was the voices of the maids who worked for us. I quickly stood up and walked across the room to one of the windows closest to the door so I could see their faces clearly.They were standing just outside my room, gossiping about me without even realizing that I was inside and able to hear every single word they said."I heard he almost raped her." One voice said."Almost?
*AUTHOR'S POV*The next morning wasn't so pleasant for Gabby as she was woken up with the annoying sound of large bells just outside her window.She pulled the remaining part of the duvet that was still on her body and dragged her feet to her window to see if there was any event going on.She had quite a struggle pulling the heavy drapes apart but it wasn't futile.During the tour with Marcella, she didn't notice that the window adjacent to her bed enabled hee to have an overview of the field of the house she was living in.The grass was greener than she had ever seen, there was a beautiful water fountain with the water as clear as day. A little child would have hoped it was a chocolate fountain. Just by the side of the fountain, she saw a servant mowing the lawn and to his right, she finally saw it!The large annoying bell that disturbed her beauty sleep.Who let it go off? Could it be?Of course, it had to be.He was standing by the bell with a sinister look, wide eyed staring at
Gabby felt heavy while walking downstairs.She had showered for as long as she possibly could, combed her hair and applied lotion. Now, she was slowly finding her way to the dining with a purple jumpsuit with flowery designs on it.She had no appetite but she didn't dare to make Leone even more angry.He was worse than a vicious Alpha in most werewolf stories she had come across.Ashlyn sat across Leone, slyly using her foot and toes to draw circles around his thighs seductively.Old habits die hard."Hello wife, you kept us waiting." Leone said when he saw her coming.Ashlyn looked in her direction and frowned before turning away, probably disappointed that Leone did nothing about her advances towards him."I was in the shower.""Well, next time..." Leone began but stopped as he walked towards her."Remember that I don't like to be kept waiting." He finished with their noses touching."Y.. yes." Gabby stuttered, their closeness intimidating her."Come and eat then." Leone invited as h
*GABBY'S POV*There was no superior feeling I have ever felt in my life compared to when I put Ashlyn down. "Miss Presley?" I heard someone call out from outside my room.It was obviously Leone. "I'm not apologizing to her." I yelled back.He wasn't going to have his way, not this time."Come out. I need to talk to you." He commanded."I can hear you very well from here. Thank you very much.""You know Miss Presley. My mum told me how I stabbed a man because he wore a joker outfit and was trying to be funny but he was actually scaring me." He said.It sounded like he was warning me. Or was it a threat? Was he saying he'll kill me?It was hard for me to understand this man I live with.I was happy few minutes ago that I put Ashlyn down and this man had to ruin the little celebration I had going on in my head.I quickly got off the bed, wore my flip-flops and hurried towards the door to open it.I saw him standing at the door with his right arm tucked in his pocket, his left arm restin
"Really?" She asked excitedly."Yes. I love to see two people in love so I'll help you but you'll have to help me too in return." I said."Anything for you and to get laid."I smiled at this maid's bluntness and I missed Josey."I'm hungry and I want to eat so you'll get me something.""Sorry ma'am. There's nothing for now. They'll be working towards lunch soon.""What about the macaroni?""Sir Jay doesn't like to eat leftovers. He prefers freshly prepared food. So we eat the leftovers or give them to the guards or to the dogs."Oh so that's why Ashlyn was mad at me for refusing the food. She didn't want the maids to have the leftovers. Sticking with my last option, I had to order food. I couldn't stay hungry till lunch time."I'll order food but I'll still need your help.""Okay, what do I need to do?" "So here's the deal. I'll ask your boyfriend to go stand by the door and receive the food I'll order, when he brings it to my room, you'll be here so I'll leave the room for both of yo
I could appreciate her insults but I had made a vow to teach her quite a lesson if she ever lay her hands on me.I turned around and with the last ounce of strength this hunger spared me, I thundered her face with a slap. I felt her let go of my hand and I saw her holding her face in pain.It seemed she was crying but it sounded more like a sob or a whimper.I had no idea that with how fierce and fearless Ashlyn looked, she would cower in fear with a mere slap. I at least expected her to retaliate immediately.With eyes as red as hot coal, she glared at me just before speaking,"You should not have done that. I swear you should never have done that.""And you should not have done this." I replied, pointing at the spot in my hand that she held to stop me from leaving."Arghhhhhh!" She yelled, stomping her feet away."Yeah that's right. Go wake a corpse or jump off a building." I said before turning around to leave.I needed a spot to stuff my face and stomach just before that silly Ash
*LEONE'S POV*Exactly what did that Gabriella girl think of herself?Couldn't she have just told any of the maids that she was hungry so they'll fix something up for her?Why would she let goners like them use her room for sex?"Leone?" I heard someone call from behind me.For a second, I wanted to believe it was Gabby and that she was coming to apologize and take back her words so she wouldn't have to face the death penalty like those two shameless fornicators but no, it was just Ashlyn."I was on my way to somewhere. I hope you have something important to tell me." I said, standing still at the same spot without looking back."Are you really going to kill her?" "I don't know.""You should. She defied your order. If you don't kill her, it'd mean you've been partial. Haven't you eliminated others before her?""I don't think you're in any position to tell me what and what not to do. Last I checked, the only person who had the right to do so was..., Well me.""I'm not telling you what
*AUTHOR'S POV*It had been three days and Gabby still lay there unconscious.I know what you're thinking.She didn't slip into a coma, just unconscious.The doctors managed to arrest all internal bleeding but for some reason, this chic wasn't waking up or was she?"Doctor, when is she gonna wake up?" Leone's voice at the door to her ward spoke."I don't know. At this point, it all depends on the patient. All seems fine with her medically so I really can't give a reason as to why she's not waking up but I believe it won't be long now." The doctor tried to explain."Okay, I'll go in now to see her. You wait outside and if there's any emergency, I might call out to you so keep your ears peeled." Leone ordered as he pushed the door open to walk in, only stopping when the doctor said,"Please be careful not to shock the patient. We don't want yet another issue coming up."He walked into the ward and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Gabby lying on the bed looking lifeless.For some weird
