Three days later, Ellen enters the room where he had held her captive. The environment is gloomy and dull, making the space even more dismal. He smirks a little, thinking about how perfect the setting is for her. But to his utter surprise, he does not find any sign of her in that room. He only sees the broken window and several pieces of shattered glass on the floor, which makes him clench his fists in anger and frustration. "So, you dared to run away from my cave?" He says this, fuming with anger, while still smiling amusingly and thinking about her energy level. "Interesting! A vulnerable deer has escaped from the lion's cave! Remarkably interesting! It'll be fun to make your life more challenging." Ellen comes out of the house angrily and goes to the men he's kept to keep an eye on her."So, she's managed to escape, keeping you all muscle men here?" He shouts at them angrily, causing all of them to instantly lower their heads in submission. "Find her now; otherwise, y'all know what
"Please marry my son, Judy!" As she gazes into Judy's eyes with tears streaming down her face, Isabella makes a sudden and absurd request that causes Judy to fall from the castle. This request is the first that has caused such immense emotional pain for Judy. In response, she quickly withdraws her hand from Isabella's grasp, and the experience feels like the entire world is shaking around her. Despite her efforts, words fail to form in Judy's voice."Judy, I know it's hard for you, but my son isn't bad.""I-it's not like that, but I can't fulfill your request; please forgive me. If you want my life, I can give it to you, but please don't tell me to marry your son; I'm so sorry." With a voice that trembles with emotion, Judy manages to speak, but takes Isabella's hand once again."I'm begging you, Judy! What would you do if your mom requested you like that?""Please, don't make it hard for me? You know I love-" She can't complete her sentence because Isabella John has stopped her."I k
"Just don't you dare tell her name in front of me, Ellen! I'm warning you! And you're going to get married to someone beyond your standard!" She scowls at him defiantly, which makes the situation hard for him. "What if I don't want to? I don't need anyone beyond my status; I just need my love; bring her back to me if you can!" He keeps speaking arrogantly in front of his mother; his every word is hurting her like a needle is being pushed into her heart, but she doesn't show it."Ellen, don't test my patience!" The room becomes filled with her shouts as anger takes over."What is it, mom? You can't force me; I'll marry only my love. I'm not that type of boy who'll forget his love just because his mom is saying so."Ellen's mom slaps him tightly, causing him to turn his face aside. He holds his face with one hand, and his aura changes to purple with rage."You know it's the difference between you and her—a girl who just sacrificed her love for me even though I'm nothing to her, and here
With her beating heart, she stands against her would-be husband. She has no courage to look at him. In a while, their marriage ceremony gets started. She hears the marriage oath being read, but she keeps searching for Smith under her veil. She knows she is doing wrong, but for the last time as his lover, her heart is searching for him. She is going to lose him forever in a while, but her heart can't accept this. Unfortunately, she doesn't find him anywhere."He left; my love has left me!" Deep in thought, the marriage oath is not even heard properly until her name is called."Gracia Judy, do you take Ellen John as your lawful husband?" Until then there was little hope, but it is the end, she has to give up on her love."I do!" She utters. "Okay, you both are officially husband and wife from now on, you two can kiss now."As the veil is lifted from her face by her husband, she suddenly finds her world shattered when she sees his angry and smirking face. Trembling, she realizes that th
His accusations make her chuckle, but he suddenly storms out of the room, locking the door from the outside. "C'mon, open the door." She shouts in a high voice but doesn't hear any response. After waiting for a while, she still hears no response from him. Entering the washroom, she looks through the mirror. Even though the mirror is clean, the disgusting one there is the one she considers herself because of her neck, which is bearing his hickeys. She has no idea how she will go on with her life.The day's passed, and night has arrived to embrace their territory with another task for the bride and groom: their photoshoot.The flickering sounds and lighting of the cameras from various angles do not allow the bride and groom to wink for a moment. The grip of Ellen John around the waist of his newlywed wife, Gracia Judy, reduces all the space between them. Her neck is being covered by the warm breath of Ellen, which is giving her shivers down her spine. His scent is alluring, just like his
Ellen then grabs her face harshly making her look into his intimidating eyes and asks , "say it clearly?""A-actually, I'm on my period, please let go of me.""Damn it!" His groans makes her gulp but he lets go of her although his arousal desire doesn't want to. She sighs in relief while cursing him under her teeth. "Couldn't you tell that earlier?" He asks her exasperatedly. "Actually, this is my first time sharing my privacy with a man-like beast, oops sorry, a beast-like man," she says sarcastically.Grabbing her jaw harshly, he grits his teeth in anger."I'm warning you, if you ever try to disrespect me again, you know me very well." Her continuous trial of freeing her face from his grip makes him pisses. "You're a slut!" Tears start to brim from hereyes just by listening to this word fromhis mouth. Ellen stops the faucet and the waterfall also ends in no time but the gradual drop of tears he makes fall from his wife's eyes, how will he stop this?He goes near her ear but just
The command for her to reside in the storeroom has been given by Ellen, but it's unknown to Judy what's wrong with him that he changes his mind and keeps her locked in his room. Despite being only her second day in the new abode, she has not seen him since the previous night. The horrific events are still roaming in her mind. The more she attempts to accept the fact, the more it hurts. This room leaves an impression on her of being a prison inmate there. Although the lights of the morning sun make the room bright, she is there in the bright room, dying gradually while encountering its actual darkness. Multiple attempts at opening the door has made by knocking, but no responses at opening the door. "Huh, who'll dare to open it declining his order." Exhaling deeply, she moves towards the window and pulls back the curtain, feeling a soft breeze caressing her face. She gaze up at the sky, observing the playful movements of the clouds resembling fluffy cotton balls."Whenever I look at the
As she's helped to lie down on the bed, a comforting hand holds hers tightly. Despite gritting her teeth to suppress the intense pain, tears trickle down her face. With gentle care, her wet clothes are then removed and her body is washed to soothe the burning sensation caused by the spilled soup."It's itching a lot." She winces in pain; it feels like her heart will get out of her throat."It'll hurt for a while, then the pain will go away," she says while ruffling her hair. Finally, the ointment is carefully applied to the affected area, providing a cooling sensation and easing her discomfort."Mam, how did this happen suddenly?""I've slipped." A lie is spoken to her, with no other apparent options available."You should be careful, ma'am; Mrs. John will scold us as well as you if she comes to know about this." A look of deep concern is etched on her face, her furrowed brows and tense jawline reflecting the worry and care she feels."Please don't tell her." As Judy says in a pleading
