Anita's pov"Or Isla, don't you think you should go back to the slave house and hide there for sometime? At this point, I am left in confusion. I don't even know what to do. " She looked at me and heaved a sigh,then ran her hand through my shoulder drawing me closer to her, "Anita, the same way you are confused, that's the same way I am too. But let's work with your heart since you are the one facing these challenges. What are your instincts saying?" She asked me. I turned to her with a confused expression beaming on my face, "maybe i will just hide and enter the slave quarters. Or could you please help me check if madam Betty is anywhere around there please?" I begged. She nodded , "Alright. Find a place and hide. I'll get back to you soon." She said and headed towards the place. I looked around trying to find the perfect spot where I can relax so that no one would be able to see me in case any guard passed by. My eyes darted to a corner at the entrance and I went towards it. Re
Anita's povThe men carried me to the playground and dropped me on a chair. I tried struggling as they were trying to plop me into the chair but as I kept struggling with them, one of them used his elbow to hit me on my ribs. The pains coursed through my veins and I screamed loud in pain. The pains were second to none. It radiated all round my body and it was as if I had started bleeding internally. Tears started streaming down my face as i finally rested, allowing them do their thing because i was weak at this point.They tied me up and shifted. Giving a chance for madam Betty to come and take a look. She moved closer and our eyes met. "Oh what a shame. Poor little pumpkin. " You should have said something earlier. You twat! But you decided to take me for a fool. You decided to take me for granted and what do you get in return? PUNISHMENT! You get punished in return." She spat firmly. "The water is ready ma,” A voice blared out from behind. Sounding like the guard from earlier. "
Alpha Orion's povWhen the girl came to find Anita in the morning, I was kinda upset and asked her to leave. Anita didn't even wait for me to unlock the spreader, she hurriedly did it herself and stood up in anticipation to leave. I was shocked by her boldness and fastness too. But then, something struck me hard. I remembered when I took her from Ethan. Today will be completing the two weeks for her to live. But I am still shocked because my previous late mates didn't even stay up till this time. The first one, Mira, died exactly one week after our marriage while the second one, Sabrina, died immediately after two weeks of marriage. Anita's own would surely be tonight. I stared at her pitifully as she was leaving. Then I didn't know when I called out to her, "Anita, are you leaving now?" I said, scratching my head. She nodded, "Yes, Alpha Orion."I wanted to protest so she would stay a little longer with me but there was no need since someone was already waiting for her outside
Anita's povI and Isla stayed at the hidden corner gisting and resting at the same time. It was actually fun but all of a sudden, something caught my eyes. I saw about three guards with my bag and locker which madam betty had brought for me to use for some of the properties which she had given to me when i came here. I tapped Isla immediately, "Isla look!" I screamed silently. Isla saw them and gasped, "where were they taking your things to? Isn't that your locker and clothing bag?" She questioned with widened eyes. "Yes. I am shocked as well. Let's follow them to check where they would be taking all these things to. Please hide with me so they wouldn't be able to see us" I said and she nodded. We started following the trace of the men but in the hideout so they wouldn't be able to see us. They were taking the goods to the palace and I was shocked at what they were doing. Why were they doing that?They entered a place which I didn't know existed and dropped my luggage there. We
Anita's pov. "Where do you think you are going to go?" He asked me with a smirk. Huh? "I- -i want." "Shut it. You're a palace maid right? Now, I can have you anywhere I want. Get ready for me." He said in a hush tone. I felt like punching him right in the face but my lips, eyes and heart betrayed me. I do not know why as much as I hated having sex with him, but whenever I see him, I feel drawn to his touch. I just can't explain this . It's strange to me. He removed his grip from mine and turned his back on me. I felt like he was actually smiling as he moved away. I heaved a sigh and left the place immediately. I walked fastly into my room and slammed the door hard against the wall, sending cracks all over my room. Then I slumped on my bed before me and stared blankly at the ceiling. …. After a few more hours, i turn and looked outside only to realize that it was already dark. My mind quickly drifted to the fact that today was supposed to be my last day on earth so I moved
Anita's povI jolted up to the sound of cock crows around the whole vicinity. My heart started panting in my chest as I sat straight on my bed. I - I am alive? Anita is alive? This can't be. My eyes darted to the window, the day wasn't bright but it was setting. Wow! I used my hand to touch my body, my skin and truly, I can feel it. Anita, you are supposed to die by now. What's happening? I raced off the sheets with a jump out of the bed. As my legs landed on the ground, I felt it. I actually felt it. Then I walked to the door and went outside. The whole place was beautiful and nice. I can't believe what is happening. How can I be alive? Is it that the curse did not have effects on me? Is it that i didn't die as supposed? What's actually happening? I moved out of the room to the passage. Some maids have started moving out for their daily routine and as they saw me, some had widened eyes. "Anita?" Sonia, my closest neighbor, gasped in shock. I stood at the spot as she raced
Anita's pov"No this can't be.. Anita is dead. She is a ghost." one of them said, pointing accusing fingers at me. " Please leave me alone. I am sorry. Please Anita. " The girl with the touch begged. I smiled at her with a grin. "What makes you guys think I am dead?" I asked them with a smile. "She's lying. She's lying. She's dead. Do not believe her." One said, pointing her shaky hands at me. Oh my god! What kind of people are these? What kind of humans are these? I am left speechless at this point. What the hell? Reluctantly, I let go of the girl's hand and she quickly moved backwards, then all of them ran away. My hand quickly ran to my forehead as sweat started trickling down from it. What do I say to people now? I didn't know that all of them had already had me pictures in their hearts for death They have already concluded in their mind that I would die. They have. I am speechless at this point. I can't believe this. Mehn, it's strange. So can people actually behave like
Alpha Orion's pov. The moment Anita left my room that night, I felt it, I felt really strange within me. I didn't know what to do but to remain on my bed. I cannot stop the moon goddess from taking her life if they want to. I can't. I need to always embrace myself again and face responsibilities and the new accusations that would come after she dies. The luck I might have this time is that she has no family. That's the only luck I would have. Because both Sabrina and my first wife had families and when they died, their families came to me crying and blaming me for their daughters death. I felt so terrible then and wished that I could just sit with the moon goddess tso she could explain the areas of my life which i have wronged her. I wished like that. Their parents though lower than me in status didn't care, they were all seeking vengeance towards their dead daughters. And even when I tried pleading with them, they wouldn't accept. It got to the point where some of them started
