Chapter 72CATHERINE’S POV“I never imagined you could come up with something so wicked. Has your madness led you to this? Huh? If you hadn’t missed those therapy sessions I organized for you, you wouldn’t have had such a twisted idea.”“Excuse me?” my brows pulled in an affronted frown. What he was talking about? “I don’t understand. What did I do?”“Stop acting dumb,” he scoffed and shook his head negatively at me. “I know you told that maid to poison Brianna. How could you do that? Such wicked thought! You could have killed her for goodness sake! If you can do this, how sure am I that you won’t try to harm me too someday?”Oh! That was what he was talking about. I thought Vivian didn’t tell him when was asking her outside on the lawn. What a bitch! Not only did she fail to complete my job, but she also sold me out to Sebastian. Fuck!! If Sebastian knew about this, then there was every chance the other maids knew too. This better not be true.“I just wish she had revealed it to ever

Chapter 74BRIANNA’S POVAfter Sebastian stopped me from eating my breakfast because it was poisoned, my stomach clenched tight in fear. I couldn’t understand why the maid tried to poison me. I knew her name to be Vivian. We seemed to get along well, and I couldn’t recall doing anything to upset her. I searched deep in my mind for that, but couldn't recall at all. She and Amelia took turns serving me and she also fed me with some gossip about what was going on in the castle. I was so puzzled by her sudden betrayal.Sebastian admitted he didn’t know why she tried to poison me, but I was optimistic he’d find out and come tell me. He told me to trust him and…I did. I was a bit hesitant to say that at first, but I did. He swore to never let anyone harm me. He saved me. If not for him, I would have been lying lifeless in some morgue right now.“Oh goodness,” I sighed, holding onto the bars and leaning on them. “Why does everything have to be so difficult in my life? Why is this happening to

Chapter 76CATHERINE’S POVThe journey to the kingdom where Rose’s castle was took us not more than thirty minutes to get to. As I got there, one of her maids ushered me in, even though she didn’t have to. This wasn’t my first time coming here. I had come here several times and could find my way to Rose’s bedroom easily without her help.We got to her bedroom and the door was slightly open. She was expecting me, perhaps that was the reason she left it that way. On opening it, I saw her sitting with her legs crossed playfully on her plush, queen-sized bed which was adorned with intricate patterns. She was wearing a creamy red sexy satin nightwear, her drooling corn silk hair all over her as she giggled while staring at her phone. The room was like a paradise, filled with beautiful colours from fabrics, artworks, and curtains that danced in the gentle breeze coming from outside. Large windows stretched from floor to ceiling, framing a breathtaking panorama of nature beyond. Rose and

Chapters 78CATHERINE’S POVI was seated on my vanity table, wiping my makeup off my face when Sebastian barged into the room without even bothering to knock. He was furious as usual, obviously because he’d found out I fired the large green-eyed maid. But I didn’t care. She was a snitch. A rude ungrateful bitch and I’ll fire her over and over again if I have to. “Why would you go as far as firing Amelia without coming to me first with whatever problem you have with her?”Even though I was looking in the mirror and not directly at him, I could still sense his intense glare, filled with anger.Typical Sebastian. Always cared about people that added little to no value to his life. I was his wife! His better half!! His sweetheart!!! His one and only!!!! He should care about me. Only me. And no one else. After I’m done killing that slave bitch, I will mould him to my liking. He will be my pet like he used to be.“The last time I checked, I was the one in charge of the maids in this castle

Chapter 80BRIANNA’S POVMore than two hours have passed now and Amelia hadn’t come. Darkness had fallen outside, and I couldn’t help but wonder what was keeping her. Restless and anxious, I needed to see her.My heart raced in my chest, and my breaths were heavy and prickly against my nostrils. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and brows, despite the chilly night.What if they caught her? Maybe the guard that stood outside the door or the maid that came in overheard us when we were talking about the plan and told Sebastian about it… maybe he had fired her or worse, was punishing her.“No…no…no,” I mumbled, wiping the sweat on my forehead and brows with the back of my hands as I paced the cell, worry wrapping me in its thick coat. “Please let it not be what I’m thinking.”I didn’t want Amelia to suffer because of me. I didn’t want anyone to suffer again because they were trying to help me. I didn’t want what happened to Lily – the maid who tried to help me escape Hermes’s castle t
