Olivia’s POV--
The lights in the room is dim and I can’t see his facial expressions clearly though, but I feel as if there is a cold and fearful look in his eyes!
I clench the towel tightly on my breast and take a step back! All my determinations and boldness is disappeared into the thin air, as I stand there shivering in fear looking at the beast! His eyes are red, as if he has not slept well and he is looking at me like a predator would look at his prey!
The beast stan
Third Party POV—Olivia slowly opens her eyes again to a faint light. Although her head still aches and she feels weak, yet she is better than last time. She can open her eyes and with a little effort she pushes herself up on her elbows and sits on the bed with her back to the head board of the bed. She rubs her temples with her fingers; squinting her eyes closed. Her head still feels heavy and she is still in a daze!She looks around and slowly realisation dawns on her. She remembers her forceful marriage and his monster husband Ryan who has been her childhood nightmare! She looks around at the room; the room is huge with modern decorations and colours. There is a large closet at the right side of the bed, beside which is the door to the washroom with a broken lock; the floor is covered with an expensive carpet. To the left hand side is medium sized sofa with a centre table. On either side of the sofa are two doors which are slightly open. On
That day Olivia became weak due to fever and almost fell down on the floor near the study door. Once the door opened and every one hurried out, Olivia curled up on the floor. Nanny Agatha and Victor ran after the Bradleys but Caroline noticed Olivia sitting on the floor with her eyes closed and gave her a disgusted look! Olivia felt nothing since she was in a catch twenty two situation! If she marries Ryan and lives with him, her life will be hell! If she didn’t marry him and stays back, still her life will be hell! Her own mother won’t understand her. Nor would her father! She felt dizzy and weak and sat sobbing quietly with her eyes closed and head rested on the wall. Suddenly, she felt a sharp burning pain on her scalp! She screamed in pain and when she opened her eyes, she realised that Caroline, her own mother pulled her up by her hair and dragged her across the living her, pushing her roughly to Ryan who was just leaving behind his mother!
13th JanuaryOlivia gets up in the morning feeling a little better. Her fever was gone and apart from tremendous weakness, she had no other health issues. When she looked around, she found that she was alone in the room and there was no one around. She lazily went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and completed her morning business. After taking a warm shower, she came out of the bathroom in a white bathrobe. She has dried her hair but water was still dripping down her body.She dried her hair with another small towel and sat on the sofa quietly. It has been two days since her life took a U turn! From &lsqu
“Madam, are you feeling better today?” Rose asks Olivia smiling warmly at her while placing a tray with breakfast and medicines on the centre table.Olivia doesn’t answer. She simply sat quietly looking out of the window.“You will be happy to know Madam that tomorrow Mrs Amanda Bradley and Miss April is coming to see you. They got worried about your health after they heard that you fell sick.” Rose said while making Olivia’s bed.Olivia was shocked and also felt sad knowing that now Amanda, who has always been kind to her and April who is her childhood friend is coming to see her. She doesn’t want more people to tackle! She is already fed up handling the maid who keeps appearing like a Genie without a lamp and Ryan who also appears like a torturous master with various new ways to humiliate and pain the captive! Olivia feels upset and tensed immediately. How will she misbehave with Amanda and April? But if she behaves we
“What is it Rose? You don’t feel scared today after coming from her room!” Rose looks at the Old cook, a woman of age around sixty, named Maria, and smiled shrugging and jerking her shoulders like a happy kid.Then holding Maria’s hands in hers, she said thoughtfully, “My Madam Olivia is not so bad you know. She had her juice today and didn’t shout at me!” Then again looking around to check that no one heard them Rose whispered to Maria pouting slightly, “I see so much of pain and sadness in her eyes! And I don’t know what to think but I feel as if she is not as cruel as she behaves. She does this purposely.” Pausing for a while Rose jumps to sit on top of the kitchen counter and then asks sighing, “I wonder why is she so sad?”Maria closes the distance between them and then lifting Rose’s chin with her finger, she says in a kind voice, “Child, don’t bother about the matters
Rose observes her new mistress carefully. She is very young and beautiful. Olivia is of average height of around 5 feet and 6 inches, but her butter soft fair skin makes her look like a doll out of imaginary land. She has black hair and black eyes in contrast to her complexion. Rose thought she has never seen such a beautiful person in her life. Her eyes are full of innocence, honesty and kindness! But there is a large amount of sadness embedded too!“Such a beautiful girl should always smile and never be sad. She is a sight to behold and cherish!” Rose thought to herself as she kept staring at Olivia after handing over the glass of juice and sandwich to her.Olivia observes Rose admiring her and thinks in her mind that it is the right scope to enquire about Ryan. She clears her throat and speaks, “Since how long have you been here?”Rose, on hearing Olivia speak to her face to face like this was stunned comple
‘Wow! How can there be such a beautiful garden in a Monster’s den!! A man who doesn’t have kindness and love in his heart, loves flowers? Impossible!’ Olivia thought to herself. She is in the garden with Rose tailing behind her and the three men Morphy, Ron and Rob further behind, keeping a watch on her from a distance.Olivia looks all around her in the garden. The garden is filled with different types of flowering plants; not only roses or lilies but a huge variety of Mount Cook Buttercup, Maori Onion, White snow Marguerite, Hary orchid, Sun orchid, Ladies tresses orchid, Flush willowherb, Toetoes, Kowhai Flowers and many more.Olivia wonders who might have chosen the flowers and cared to have all of them in the garden.There are even rare flowers like Forget-me-nots, Hebes bred, Flax Flower, Phormium tenax, Purple Flowering Hebes, Hybrid Cordylines, Arthropodium Cirratum and Coprosmas!!Not only the v
The wall of the garden is very thick and strong. Too high too! It is impossible to climb it since there are curbed wires on top of the wall with spikes. Olivia thought about the possible ways to escape while they started walking back to the main house. As they walked along the boundary towards the main gate, Olivia noticed that the main gate was made up of heavy iron and was huge! Enormous! It was just like, the gates of Old fortresses!Hmmfff..Olivia sighed and hung her head down and walked slowly back to the main house. The distance from the gate to the main house was quite a lot. One way she felt better to breathe the morning fresh air filled with beautiful fragrance of the flowers. The view around was also quite something. There were different insects and birds humming and chirping; butterflies, bees, bettles…It was so natural and refreshing!Just as she entered the house, Mrs Harper quickly came forward and bowed in front of her. She asked wit
