The Kidnapped Bride Sully
“How is your leg?”I stared at Dela, who appeared with Rosalia in my chamber suddenly. It was midday. I was reading a book in bed.“It doesn’t really hurt,” I said. “Even when I hit my toe, I did not really feel much pain. But then I touched it and there was a lot of blood. I tried to see the bottom part and there was a huge deep gash. It’s not painful at all, to be honest. Just there is a tingling. But that’s it. I don’t even have to take any pain medication.”“That’s good,” Dela said. She sat down on the side of the bed where Demian usually sat to talk to me. Rosalia kept standing.Dela leaned towards me and touched my face suddenly. It startled me since it was so sudden. I had not expected it.“Oh, your beautiful face now ruined,” she cried. “Why would your father do this?” She turned to Rosalia. “Why would your brother do this to his own daughter?”Rosalia’s lips trembled, but she did not say anything. She looked like she was on the verge of tears. In fact, ever since I came back,

“Your mother thinks we are lying. In fact, I think she is convinced of it,” I said.Demian stood with his back to me, looking out of the window. He was smoking a cigar.I limped and stood beside him. I placed a hand on his back. His back muscles flexed under my palm.He was wearing just a shirt and pants. I had taken off that cloak since he refused to, most of the time.“I know,” he said.“You know? You were listening to us the whole time?”“When she asked me about the pregnancy, I knew that she thought we were lying about everything else too. She thinks you manipulated me, or that I decided to go rogue.”Demian talked about it as if it was not much of a concern. I was worried though. What if Dela talked of this with Alexander? Would some kind of suspicion not arise in Alexander?“Are you not worried at all?” I asked.“Should I be?”“I don’t know. You know your mother better,” I said.Demian let out a scoff. “Rose is an expert manipulator. For years, she manipulated both her mother an

I had always been interested in romance. I loved the idea of having a man who would love me so much that he would burn the world for me. I wanted a man like the men I read about in books.But in reality, I knew that I would never find someone like that because the world was not built like that. Real world was much different than the worlds of books.However, when Demian told me that he loved me too, I had felt the kind of joy that I never thought I would feel. He was like those men in the books, the ones that I wanted so much but never believed I could get.The thing that I loved most about Demian was his sincerity. It was ironic for a liar to love someone sincere. But then again, I did not lie to him anymore. I did not want to hide myself and all the truths from him. I believed I could trust him.Since Demian was always sincere, when he told me that he loved me, I believed him. I had no doubt that he felt that way and more for me.“Do you want to go somewhere?” he asked.“Where?”“On

From the roof, I could see everything. Everything seemed tiny and irrelevant, but not to Demian. Demian had a keen eye and he paid attention to everything. He knew every nook and corner of this place.We did not talk for a very long time. But the silence was not uncomfortable. Not in the least.“You know, sometimes I wonder if this is a test. A game.”Demian tilted his head and raised his brow at me.I chuckled. “I might be acting stupid. Well, what I mean is, what if all of this, all of what we are doing, what we are perceiving as our life, is just a game of some sorts? What if we are all just players? What if this is not real?”“If so, then, there needs to be someone who made the game. There is always an inventor of a game. Who is that inventor? God?” Demian asked.“I don’t believe in God. I think, rather than a game, I sometimes wonder if this is all a dream actually,” I said. “And when I wake up, I will be momentarily confused. I will mourn the man I married without remembering hi

“Has the miscarriage caused something?” Alexander asked. “Will it take time for her to get pregnant?”“It must have caused something,” Demian said.“That’s why I am telling you, Demian, to marry again,” Alexander said. “At least, you would have a child soon then. Do you have anyone in mind?”I remained quiet. It was painful to hear such things. It was not like I cared much about what Alexander said. Even so, it hurt to hear that he wanted Demian to marry another woman.“I have a wife, Father. I do not want to marry again,” Demian answered calmly.“Why not? More pleasure for you.”“I will not do it,” Demian said, a little sternly.“If she does not get pregnant within the next two months, you are getting married again, whether you want to or not,” Alexander said. His tone suggested that it was not up for an argument.Demian did not say anything. It was not smart to argue with Alexander since it might backfire. But I still wished Demian would talk back.‘Stupid. Don’t be stupid just for t

Perhaps I should have done many things differently in my life. I regret a few things, but not many. I might not even be a decent human being.If there was a heaven, would I be able to go there? Or, would I go to hell?Perhaps it was good that I did not believe in such things. I did not have to worry constantly about doing things in a certain way to please God.“Do you also think I lied? Demian and I both?” I asked.Rosalia looked up at me with tired eyes. I pitied her. She seemed lost both her son and daughter within a very short amount of time.“It doesn’t matter,” Rosalia said. “It will change nothing,” she said in her timid soft voice.I wondered if she could sing. In House Star, it was mandatory for women to learn how to sing, play musical instruments and learn how to dance. Well, I never paid much attention to those lessons and went off to the academy before my father could force me to learn them all. In my opinion, those things should be learned only if someone was interested in

I went to Theodore the very same day I went to Rosalia. In fact, I went to Theodore right after. Time was very precious. I did not want to waste any.I knocked on Theodore’s door. I heard the shuffling of clothes, then the sound of the cane. He opened the door. Looking at his face, it was obvious that he had not expected it to be me.“Is it a bad time?” I asked.“No… No, it’s okay. I was just… lying down,” Theodore said nervously. He seemed a little awkward around me.“I thought we could have some tea. Perhaps in a living room,” I said. “Of course, if you want to. I don’t want to force you.”“No, I do. I do want to,” he said. “I just thought…”“What?”“That you would avoid me after…”“Why would I do that? You had been honest with me. I like honesty,” I said and gave him a smile. “Well then, get dressed. We can discuss a book or something.”“Yes, sure. You can wait for me there,” he said. “I will be quick.”“Of course. Let us choose the sun room. That is nice,” I said.“Yes, certainly.

I spent a long time with Theodore. We talked a lot about books while I also said a few things about my story that I wanted him to believe.It should work. Theodore said that he never liked Rose that much.“She always… acted like she knew something about you and that she knew all your secrets. She always looked at me like that. It made me uncomfortable. When she left, I was relieved.”“But you were not surprised that she left?” I had asked.“Of course not. That woman can do anything. She will betray her own family if she wants to, which is exactly what she did,” Theodore had said with a scoff.When I left the sun room, I knew I succeeded. I returned to my chamber and lay down. I was feeling relaxed and I wanted to sleep for a while. Perhaps I would sleep till Demian came back.I hugged a pillow. I missed him. It was strange how much I missed him. It was not just a little bit. I missed him a lot even though I had seen him just last night. I missed him like he was the air that I breathed

The Kidnapped Bride Rezef
The fact that Sully had been pregnant knew only a few people. There had been a rumor going around. I questioned Jade Star about it and he was forced to admit it. He said Sully had a miscarriage and that she was not pregnant anymore.Now, he was planning to take revenge on the Silverclaws. I joined him because I also had a debt to settle with them. Alexander Silverclaw took my bride from me on our wedding day.They took the woman from me who I wanted all my life since the moment I saw her.I never wanted much things in my life. But Sully- she was the only thing I truly wanted. I set my eyes on her and knew I had to have her.When I met her, I thought she was the prettiest girl every with brown skin and ruby red eyes and long curly hair. She talked little, but watched everything with curious eyes. I remembered asking my father who that little girl was. When he told me, I knew I needed to have her. I wanted her.But then I heard that she ran away from

For some reason, I dreamed of Millie tonight. It was strange. I never even thought about her. At least, not much.I woke up and found Demian beside me. He was staring at me. Okay, it was a little uncomfortable to think that he watched me while I was sleeping.“What’s wrong?” he asked. “A nightmare?”“No… Just a dream,” I said. “About my half-sister.”“Millie Thorn.”“Ah yes, she is a Thorn now. I keep forgetting,” I said. “I wonder if she is happy there. I wonder if Rezef is treating her right.”“You said Rezef is a righteous and kind man. If he doesn’t treat his own wife right, won’t it defeat the purpose of his righteous and kind personality?” Demian did not like Rezef at all. He might be annoyed that I told him that Rezef was like the hero of a story.“Rezef is like that, but he… He can be harsh, you know, without even meaning to. For example, he can’t show care and love even if he wants to. I have noticed this a lot of times. For example, when he used to want to meet me, he would

Rezef’s father died this morning. It had been sudden. The maids woke me up and told me about it. Apparently, he fell from the roof.“How did he fall from the roof?” I asked Rezef.“I don’t know. It happened in the middle of the night,” he said. He was hastily changing his attire.“Why didn’t you wake me up?”“For what? It’s not like you can bring him back.”I did not talk back. It was not good if I talked back. What if Rezef sent me back?Now that Rezef’s father was dead, Rezef was the new Head of House Thorn. The problem was that Rezef did not have an heir and according to the tradition, the new Head must already have an heir.What would happen now?Rezef had an older sister and a younger brother. It did not make sense that someone else other than him could be the new Head. Well, his older sister could not be the Head anyway. So, his younger brother remained. It was not like Byron had any heir either. He was only sixteen.“What will happen now?” I asked.“What do you mean?” Rezef sou

We went to the top floor today. The strange things Shea talked about last night turned out to be something that I knew very well. All those things in glass jars- big and small- I knew them a little too well. It was in a room that was accessible from my bed chamber only.There was a big table there, a cauldron, many pots, spoons- long and short, small and big- knives in various sizes.“You made me a… workplace,” I murmured. “Gosh, Demian, you made me a lab!”I threw myself at Demian and he caught me casually as if I weighted nothing. I wrapped my legs around him and laughed. I could not believe he did this for me.“That’s so… Gosh, I love it, Demian! I love it a lot! I love you!”“I had a feeling you might like it,” he said.“You really did thought of everything, didn’t you?”He put me down and kissed me on the forehead.“I wanted to build you a lab for a while now. But I thought it would be better if it was not at the estate, since… Father might start to blame you for everything, like

Demian came back two hours later. His hair was damp and he was wearing a black robe. Shea bowed to him and me and then left since it appeared Demian made it clear that when he and I were together, Shea or any other maid could not stay.“You did not tell me about her before,” I said. “That she can talk.”“It was a good surprise,” Demian said.“I don’t like surprises.”“I know,” he said. “Actually, I did not think it was that important for you to know earlier.”I decided not to press on the matter farther. I was having a hard time coming in terms with the fact that I had to stay in a tower on the top floor.I still could not believe Demian did such a thing. How could he?“The water is cold here all the time,” Demian said. “I suggest never to take a bath in the water just like it is. Tell the maids to warm it first.”“You used the cold water, didn’t you?” Demian preferred cold water over warm or normal temperature water. In fact, I once found him soaking in an ice-cold water bath. There

We stayed on the first floor that night. Demian wanted to go up, but I refused to.There were only a handful of maids here. Five, if I was right. But there were a lot of guards. Most of them were Demian’s men who could keep an eye on you without you noticing them.Since I refused to move from the first floor, the guards brought a huge wooden tub for me that the maids filled with warm water. I took a bath in one of the other two rooms of the first floor. Demian went up to a proper bathroom since he always needed things to be perfect and orderly.In my opinion, he was a little psychotic about it. He nagged me a whole fifteen minutes to go and take a bath with him in a proper bathroom. When I refused, he refused to talk to me and went away.It was not my fault. I did not want to move with my sore back, hips and legs. I could barely move my legs. My legs trembled as if they were having a seizure. They were trembling like I had given birth to a child (women’s legs trembled sometimes becaus

We arrived in one piece. However, we were not unharmed. Well, you could not see any bruises. But I had a hard time straightening and getting down the carriage because of my back and legs. Demian did not look like he was struggling, but he told me that his legs hurt.It took us eight days to reach our destination. Honestly, I was not shocked. I expected that it would take a while. Demian would not keep me somewhere where anyone could find me easily.But something else shocked me. I could not stop staring at where Demian was going to keep me.“Are you okay?” Demian asked.“What is this?” I asked.“This is where you will be. I will stay with you for a few days and come to see you often.”“Demian, this is… This is not a villa. You said you would take me to a vacation villa.”“I don’t see the issue here. So what if it’s not a villa?”“Demian, it’s a damn tower! You are keeping me in a tower?”“It has got all the facilities. It’s a nice tower.”I rolled my eyes. Demian took my hand and led
The Kidnapped Bride Demian
One thing I noticed about Sully was that she liked a good conversation. The conversation did not always have to have a meaning. If it was entertaining, she would engage in it eagerly.I always thought that conversations needed to hold a meaning, or it was not needed at all. In fact, I never had that kind of meaningless conversation with anyone in my whole life.But now, with Sully, I engaged in some silly conversations and did not get bored. On the other hand, I quite enjoyed it. It was not like me. I acted like a different person with her. She saw a piece of me that I never showed anyone before. It made me feel vulnerable. I did not hate it though. Perhaps it was alright to feel vulnerable in front of her. Perhaps it was okay to let her see the bare part of me.Just a while ago, we had a conversation about what we liked about each other’s physical appearance the most. Honestly, I liked everything about her. I liked her hair that she hated so much; I liked her round face, her thick th

Demian made sure that the content of the conversation between Rosalia and Theodore reached Alexander’s ears. As I had expected, Rosalia and Theodore talked about Rose and me.Today, Demian and I set out for our vacation. We were going by a carriage with as little people as we could since we did not want to draw attention. Demian did not want to sit with me inside the carriage. He wanted to ride a horse.I forced him to stay with me. He said that it felt stuffy and he hated the way the carriage bumped every time the wheels ran over a stone of if the road was bumpy.“I am not going to be the only one with sore hips and back,” I said.Demian cursed under his breath as the carriage bumped roughly once again.“This is the most ridiculous form of transportation,” Demian said. “You basically arrive at your destination with a sore body and it can even hurt your back so much that you will feel it for the rest of your life.”“At least, it takes you to your destination,” I said. “That’s enough.
