ince I got here, felt the tears run down my cheeks."Will I ever see them again?" I asked.She looked up at me as I hiccuped and tears filled her eyes as well. She looked like she was about to say something but thought better of it and just shook her head"W-Why am I here?"I asked as the woman wiped her eyes before walking over to me and kneeling in front of me while taking a gentle hold of my hands between both of hers."I was brought here under similar conditions, they picked me up randomly one day and when i woke up, I was here ready to be wedded off to the future boss. I was a teen at that time and threw a fit trying to fight all the people off and tell them to take me home. But it made everything worse, I was forcefully married to their boss because he picked me out of all the other girls. But he was a monster, he was merciless, he killed without complaint and he never thought about the consequences.Somehow, he is still alive and because of his experience with me, I'm guessing he aske

"From the way you say it, one can only guess how desperately you want to get away. So, in case you were thinking that, let me warn you. You will not make it out of hereght father will deal with you personally. Or maybe, if he's in a good mood, he might leave you in our capable hands. Julian of course will not have a say in the matnumber of servants lurking around, not only that, but if you get cauter, so he can only sit around and watch as these hungry vultures feed on you."I had frozen at his words, even the chills running through me had stopped as I managed to stay rooted in place. He couldn't possibly mean what I think he did, did he?I glanced at him to be sure and found his eyes trained at me. A serious expression resting on his face as he took in my reaction. My eyes stayed stuck to his green ones, his gaze spoke of things I couldn't even imagine but the same deep dark promise resided under it too. A promise I could not decipher but before I could look deeper into it, he turned

"We have exactly two hours, get to work."Sally ordered from somewhere in the room and was quickly led to a chair as well. Much to her dismay. Donna was also seated wrapped up in a robe and the lady with her, was setting up all of her makeup tools onto the desk before her.My desk was already set up and with a lot more products than the ones on the others. Two ladies stepped up to me one of them busying herself into the wet nest called my hair and the other one plugging in the hair dryer. She also took out pins and set them up along with combs and brushes of all sizes. Some colored bands and decorated pins also took up the space before me as the woman standing behind me, dried my hair.As soon as it was dry, she let me go putters and how father had wanted to walk me down the aisle.I pushed back the urge to cry and sat on a near by chair for a while. Luckily no one interrupted me and I got enough time to catch my bearings and stepped back into the dressing room. There were awes and gasps f

"What's in there?"I questioned and he finally turned his head to look where I was pointing. I frowned as he grimaced and stiffened, before relaxing as a lazy smirk took over his features."You sure you're strong enough to handle what's in there, princess?" he asked.I nodded eagerly, of course I was strong enough, or at least I hoped I was. But no amount of hoping or praying could have readied me for what I saw.Blood drained from my face as I stared at the massive room in front of me, my mouth agape as I swallowed back the scream threatening to come through.Young girls... They all looked so young, not even in their teens. All of them were buried in the walls.I stood frozen as the doors slammed shut behind me, my eyes focused on all the- dead- female children in the room. Their horrified impressions printing themselves into my memory, sad faces with tears streaming down their cheeks. Mouths parted to scream, screams that were now forever silenced.All of them had boards carved right beneat

"Father!" a voice said.At that moment Edward burst through the door, stilling as he spotted us. Clearly not having imagined the position he found me in. A glare formed on his face as he pulled his father off from me and led him out.I breathed through my lips, unable to contemplate what could've happened. The faint voices from outside, voices that seemed to be shouting, greeted my ears."Do you know what you were about to do father? Julian would've had you executed!"The reply was instant and its accuracy chilled me."What makes you think she would've even mentioned it to him? The only reason they're connected is because I had her brought here! She would've only completed her purpose had you not interrupted, besides, what makes you think that he would be able to take such a drastic measure?!"I curled in on myself settling for crying silently, my purpose wasn't the same anymore. I was married, I was Julian's wife, He had no right over me, hence I didn't owe anything to him! "You're forgett
