All Chapters of Marrying Her Off : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Where's your bet?" The fat man asked immediately and that was when it dawned on Carlotta that she was actually coinless. Oh,damn? Why didn't she think about this???She looked at Ginevra who was staring at her with an *I told you* look. Then, she turned back to the man."Um.... Let's just go on with the game first. I'm sure I'll win" she said and the man looked at her like she had actually gone mad."So, you want me to stake my money while you stake nothing? Are you stupid?" He chuckled."Hey, you have to trust me, okay? I'll...""And what if you lose?" One of the watchers asked and she gave a thought to it. Can she actually lose?"Well, if I lose, feel free to beat me up" she shrugged. Then, the fat man smirked and leaned closer."If I lose, you'll spend the night with me?" He leered at her, smiling in a way that his ugly dentitions were revealed and Carlotta almost felt like punch

Carlotta had almost gotten choked with the meal she was eating as soon as the words got to her. Whaaat??She quickly gulped down some water before looking at the guard. Even Ginevra was looking panicked."He...He wants me in his room?" She stuttered, her eyes going wide in shock. "Why?""Um... I don't really know, princess. I suggest you just come with me". He replied.Carlotta glanced at Ginevra, but Ginevra wasn't giving any encouraging look to her."Tell him I'm busy" she said. "or... I'm sleeping. Or you could tell him I'm not around"."That isn't an option, princess. Lord Lorenzo is never the type to accept excuses. So, I'd suggest we just save each other's time, and you come with me right away" he said. Carlotta was looking really worried. Why was he calling for her, huh? Could it be possible he wanted to punish her for what happened a while ago? Was it really a big offence to climb up the window."Prin

Carlotta returned to the mansion with Ginevra, feeling so happy and fulfilled.They'd made so much money from the tanvern and it was just like a dream come true for Carlotta."God! Ginevra, this is so much money and a real business!" Carlotta said with ecstasy as she poured out the coins from the bag."You know, I really need to save up so that,as soon as Lorenzo divorces me, I'll have enough money to take care of myself, just incase father decides to throw me out of the palace"."Oh, Carlotta! You'll never cease to amaze me!" Ginevra rolled her eyes and sat next to her. "I can't believe you're still thinking about a divorce". "Of course, Ginevra! Lorenzo isn't my dream husband - not at all. He isn't the kind of person I'd planned on getting married to. Besides, I don't even want to be married now - not yet" she pouted."Fine. By the way, I'm so hungry! Please, get me something to eat" Ginevra grumbled with her hand on her tummy.

Carlotta smirked as she looked at him from head to toe. Hmph. A young boy, huh? Like he can do anything? "Are you still in for this? Female gambler?" One of the men asked grimly and Carlotta scoffed."And why wouldn't I be ready? I'm always ready". She replied confidently and looked at her opponent; "What's the bid?"The boy was already sitting in front of her and raising up his sleeves, he leaned forward on the table."I don't need coins" he muttered. "But something more…"He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a glittering gold anklet.Holy Molly!!! A gold anklet!! Carlotta's eyes beamed immediately as she looked at it in disbelief. What the hell is he doing with something like that?? It was so beautiful!"A gold anklet!" One of the watchers exclaimed. "Hey boy, what do you think you're doing?"But the calm - looking boy said nothing to them as he only fixed his eyes on Carlo

"My Lord!" Liam came running to him immediately.Carlotta could feel her heart in her throat. What's he gonna do to her?Lorenzo hesitated a little, staring at her and Carlotta wondered if he was thinking of the right punishment to give to her."Take her to the torture room and tie her up". He commanded and Liam was extremely shocked, he paused a little.The torture room?? Oh crap! What has the princess gotten herself into?"As… As you wish, my Lord" he bowed and made to grab Carlotta's hand, but she moved away."Hold on, you can't treat me this way. I came here as a princess, not some slave. You can't just punish me like I'm some maid servant" Carlotta grumbled but Lorenzo said nothing; nothing at all. All he did was give out those cold stares of his.Liam knew the silence of Lorenzo should never be taken for granted. And not wanting to get into trouble himself, he forcefully took Carlotta's hand."Please,
