Jessie was looking at the book that she was reading for her new research about the gentry of the island when the butler knocked on the door before she looked up at him. She closed the book as she was smiling at the butler.

“Madame, there are some people here to see you,” he said as Jessie closed the History of Niapachad Island book before she got up from the divan.

“Who was it?” She asked before her visitors were coming across the room. Emily was looking at her before she recognized the other person.

It was the Duchess of Belikov, Lady Rebecca Dragomir.

“Hello, my dear. We thought that we could stop by to say hello and congratulate you on your wedding,” Emily said before Jessie nodded at the butler that she would entertain the guests as he went to get the tea going for them.

“Of course, come on in, my dears. I’m sorry that I did not prepare the tea right away. You did not tell me that you wanted to vi

    Jessie gasped as she did not think that her husband would be so bold in claiming her mouth. He kissed her with all the strength that he had. Jessie was trying to resist the temptation at first before she succumbed to his kisses.Man, this gentleman knows how to kiss a woman—specifically a lady, Jessie mused before the darker thought came into her mind.He has practiced this with someone else other than you. He did not love you! Her mind shouted as Jessie pushed her husband away. They were breathing hard before Jessie did something that she never thought she would do to Tom.She slapped him.Jessie breathed hard. Then, she blinked her eyes as she was looking at her hand. Tom’s head was pushed to the right side of his body as he blinked his eyes. After the reality set in, Tom was looking at her.“Did you just...”"I hate you, my lord,” Jessie said before Tom bl

    Ava sucked in a deep breath when she was looking around at the dinner table. Marsh has taken his seat at the head of the table with the queen on his right her husband next to her and her parents and herself on the left side of his table.It was glorious to think that Marsh was Baron of Fell and it was a shocking surprise. Ava did not know how to react but only to stare at him when he was not looking before he cleared his throat as the young queen was looking at him expectedly.“Well, I would like to thank all for coming tonight. The queen has requested that I should get along with the Higher Court and the region that I inherited but also she wanted me to get to know you, Lord Randolph,” Marsh said as Ava was sipping on the wine when she felt his eyes on her a moment ago.Ava tried not to look flustered but she was and it was not a good sign to show it in polite company. Her mother laughed at Marsh’s statement before she was playing with the clo

    “I love you, Jessica Rambova,”That sentence alone made Jessie’s fragile heart bloom. She was gripping his hair as her walls were clenching around her husband’s cock before she was moaning loudly. They were in the library, knowing that the household could hear them right now.Jessie could care less now since Tom confessed that he loved her. Jessie knew that she loved him from the first time that she was saved by Tom when the bandits attacked her.She was indebted to him."I love you, Thomas Rambova,” she mouthed as she hugged her husband who was nuzzling her neck. She sensed that Tom was kissing her neck as Jessie was remembering that a Vampyre would likely claim his bride.And the spot was the neck.Is that why the duchess and the marchioness were wearing the chokers on their necks? Jessie mused before Tom was getting up from her neck. He smiled at her when he kissed her lips again as

    “Well, it would seem that I have to get going now. Becca wanted to try this new tea house that she has been insisting me to accompany her,” Niklaus said as he sighed. Tom arched his eyebrow before the marquis, Ian, was laughing at his statement.“Why don’t you just let her go by herself? That way, you will not have to suffer for another boring part of the night,” Ian said before the duke chuckled.“If you knew anything about our marriage at all, you guess it all wrong, my friend,” the duke said as their carriages were in front of the castle.“Well, I would love to sit and chat but I have an appointment with my wife. Good day, my friends,” Niklaus said as he was getting into the carriage. The footman closed the door and the carriage moved forward. Ian laughed before his carriage stopped in front of them.“Are you going to wait out here? Where’s your ride?” Ian asked before another carr

    Jessie did not know that her husband’s kiss was all it took for her to succumb to this demon. She knew that it was a dumb thing to be falling for a Vampyre and never heard of the scandals that might be attached to them.She knew better now.Jessie was struggling to get away from her husband as she bit on his tongue. Tom cursed before she was released from his assault as Jessie was stepping away from him. Tom was tasting the blood that was in his mouth before he turned to look at Jessie.“You bit me,” he said as Jessie tilted her chin.“You deserved it,” she said as Tom smirked at her. Jessie knew that her husband was a dangerous man but right now, with that smirk and all, he was even more dangerous.Why do I have to marry a Vampyre? She mused when Jessie was stepping away from him. Tom was advancing towards her as she was hitting the wall of the library. The fire crackled and before Jessie co

    Jessie never thought that she would beg for something. In her life, she never did because she was a Lady and her parents have been influential enough that she can do anything that she wanted and got everything in her life without as much to beg for it.But this time, it was different.Jessie knew that Tom would likely have her as his bride but she wanted to be one. She wanted what Becca and Emily had. But if she has to beg for it, then she was more than willing. Jessie had never felt like this before but for Tom, she would.“Thomas,” she panted his name before she felt the familiar sensation of his teeth sinking into her neck. This time, it was not hurtful as before. This time, it was everything that she could do to make sure to not have her wicked way with Tom.This was his moment, his claim on her, and Jessie could not be happier than this.“Jess,” he moaned as her husband was thrusting in and ou

    Everyone thinks that the gentry is nothing but a social hierarchy that takes advantage of our daily lives. We, as the common folks and peasants of Niapachad Island, might not have agreed to this social system but it was the only one that we got.Many have speculated that the gentry hides something from our common knowledge. Well, here I am, Miss J, to debunk some of the rumors and maybe put them to a stop. We cannot think that the gentry was hiding something.This is my initial hypothesis as I have come to find the reason for my latest research. And here you are, reading it right now.

    It’s been one month. One fucking month until I can get my hands on Aiden’s body. Not that I don’t have anything to complain about but right now, I was relieved that we had escaped the party and the coronation for I was the current monarch with my prince consort.Aiden Dragomir.Niklaus was furious that I would marry a commoner but when I explained to him that Aiden was my soulmate and my demon had been claiming him as mine, he did not have anything to add anymore.He just let me plan the wedding and the coronation on the same day.It was exhausting, of course, for I was running around, cheering when the people of Niapachad Island were coming together to look at me. As well as the only queen who took a commoner as her prince consort.I was breaking history today, people!I sighed as I was leaning against the door when Aiden was removing his cravat from his neck, sauntering inside my bedchambers with the elegance tha

    After Arabella left, Aiden was looking around his room for any trace of her. I cannot believe that she tricked me, he thought furiously before he took the clothes that Arabella wore and threw them into the fireplace. He was breathing hard before he was looking at the crackling firewood when his Nana entered the room.“You cannot blame her for why she’s been keeping a secret from you,” she said before Aiden was turning to look at his grandma.“So you know who she was? All this time?” he asked before he snorted. Aiden cannot believe that his Nana herself would not tell him the truth. The old woman shrugged.“Well, it was not my secret to tell and I have been hinting at her to tell you the truth. Perhaps she was afraid that you might be reacting like you are now?” she said before Aiden growled.“It’s not the same,”“No? Then you mustn’t forget the first time when you discovered th

    I was looking at myself in the mirror as I was wiping my face. I sighed before I felt the stiff muscles as I slept on the chair last night. Next to Aiden. I smiled before I walked out of the washroom and Aiden was standing outside.“Oh, you’re awake already?” I asked him as he was looking at me. He smiled charmingly before he was nodding.“Yeah, I think I had the strangest dream ever last night,” he said as I was arching my eyebrows.“Oh, do tell?” I said as I was smiling at him. Aiden was looking at me before he shook his head.“You would not believe it,”“Try me,”He took a deep breath before I was waiting for him to continue, “I dreamed that your eyes were bleeding black and you attacked the cronies that my boss was coming at you to rape you. I tried to stop it but I was being stabbed in the stomach. It seems…so surreal that I don’t think I was dreaming a

    Aiden was looking at the people that were coming at him at once. He was determined to keep Arabella from getting hurt as his boss and his cronies were going after her.“You son of a bitch! You will share your whore with us!” his boss said before they were coming at him. Aiden was thinking faster than his action. He took his ax and swung it as a form of defense. But of course, it was not going to deter the men from coming at Arabella.“Come on, lads! He just one man, what harm can he do to us?” the boss said before everyone was laughing. Aiden was gritting his teeth before he was slamming his shoulder into the boss. He went down before the cronies were coming at him, punching and kicking him in the stomach as he went down.“Aiden!” Arabella’s shout as he was struggling to keep his head above the attack. It was all his coworkers who did not have any honor or dignity in their blood. They only wanted to have fun and Arabella

    Niklaus was looking outside the castle as the sun was on the horizon. He could not get any sleep lately for he feared that his cousin might be in danger. The all lords of the Higher Court were worried about their monarch.“Anything?” Niklaus asked his friend, Baron of Fell, Marsh, before he shook his head. Niklaus sighed before he took a seat at the head of the council meeting. There were five of them, the inner circle that Niklaus trusted to find his missing cousin.Bloody hell, Arabella, why do you have to be so stubborn at times? He thought before Ian was looking at him.“So, what do we do now? We cannot just sit idly and not be taking action about this. The prince will come here any day now and if Her Highness was not around to receive him—”“There will be a catastrophe. I know,” Niklaus said as he was rubbing his dry mouth. He did not know where or when Arabella had been slipping away from the palace but thei

    Aiden was cutting the lumber into small pieces so that it would be easier to burn for the winter. He wiped his forehead which was accumulated with sweat before his boss came from behind.“Rough night, Blackwood?” he asked before Aiden turned to look at him. He was regarding the man before he smirked.“You could say that,” he said as he was cutting the log again. His boss smirked.“I bet that woman who warms your bed was worth it then. How much you got her for?”Aiden stopped his work before he turned to look at his boss. He was smirking at Aiden before he smiled charmingly at him.“She’s not for sale. She’s my wife,” Aiden lied smoothly before the boss was blinking his eyes at him.“You’re joking, right?” his boss asked but Aiden just left the conversation there as he was making his way out of the lumber field.“Have a good day then,” Aiden said

    I woke up early the next morning because I was excited to get my first job. I know that my job would always be a monarch but to think that I will have an experience outside of state affairs and proposals for once would be the thrill of my life.The dusk was shining with orange sunlight before the sun was on the horizon. I took a shower before I put on the clothes that were provided by Nana for me. She told me that it once belonged to Aiden’s mother and I don’t know if I should be happy or not.I never asked about his parents and sometimes, I wished I had the courage to. But I don’t want to destroy the fragile relationship that we have anymore. I was threading the thread carefully now so that Aiden would be open to me more.If only.I was putting on the chemise before I was putting on the stays that will put my breasts in place. Then, I put on the petticoats, 5 layers of them, right before I put on the gown. It was a modest gown with long

    I walked along with Aiden as he was putting his hands inside his pockets. I was looking at him from the corner of my eyes before I was looking at the moon. It was full tonight and everything was perfect in this little moment.I did not know what came over me but my mouth was humming the lullaby that my mother always sang to me whenever I went to bed. And I was doing that right now as Aiden was looking at me strangely.“How do you know that lullaby?” he asked me before I turned to look at him. His emerald orbs were shining under the moonlight.“Hmm? What?”“That song you were humming. My mother used to sing that to me as well,” he said with a hint of sadness before I stopped humming it altogether.“No, don’t stop. It just…no one ever heard that before,” he said as he turned to look at me. “until you,”I smiled before I hummed again the music that haunted both of us. My m

    Aiden was making his way into the forest for his job as a lumberjack. He was carrying his favorite ax before his boss showed up in front of him.“Fancy seeing you here at this hour. I thought you might be late again, Blackwood,” his boss sneered before Aiden smiled at him, not feeling threatened by anything.“Well, what can I say? The woman that graced my bed last night was making me sleep late and I have to be here before you can say anything else, so here I am,” he said as he was setting up himself for his job. The boss was arching his eyebrow at him.“I thought you’re not approved of that way of life?” his boss asked him before Aiden shrugged.I am but I will not be telling you, “Perhaps I need to experience it myself before I can judge it,” Aiden said before he put on his protective mask and started on the lumber that was his quota for the day. The boss just nodded at him before leaving Aiden to hi
