The Knights Arranged Bride

Chapter Six : Unexpected the expected

Rubbing her still very sleepy eyes, Symphony awakes still feeling very tired, For Symphony, Why does the sun had to come up so soon. All the cooking  and the cleaning yesterday had exhausted her, she just needs a few more hours of sleep, but remembering Drake, Drake wouldn't like it. he had told her during the first week when she was here. He aspects her as his wife to be awake and prepare breakfast on time before he sets to work. Symphony showered quickly , wearing a plain white and blue rose printed tea-lenght dress with trumpet sleeves, tying her hair into a lace braid. she  hurried out of the room downstairs to the kitchen. 

She prepare breakfast as fast as she could, making some chocolate oats porridge with blue berries, a pot of coffee, some fruit platter,  pita breads  and  Macadamia Nut Brie En Croute , she brings the food to place it on the table but was shocked to see Mark seating there, like he was waiting for her. 

" Good Morning.." He wished to her kindly,

" Good Morning" she returns him sweetly, and start placing all the food on the table. Drake joined a minute later, and the men started conversing having their breakfast. as soon as breakfast was done they left riding their Pegacorns to work. 

The next few weeks  fell into a routine for Symphony. As by Drakes so called house rules Breakfast and dinner were always served on time   and on occasions Mark  would join them. Symphony understand their bond is different, they are twins, they have been together since in the womb. She noticed Drake is always happy when having him around. Mark always have something to talk about and she sort of enjoy the company as well. Bites her for not talking at all, at least Mark will ask her some questions for her to response  . some kind of communication was always there when Mark was around. with Drake nothing. Through out the day Symphony will alway busy herself cleaning, reading , gardening or taking care of her  pegacy Sky. It's been many nights since she rode Sky. The beast keeps on neighing on her, signalling symphony to take her out on a ride . 

" Soon Sky, I'm sorry.. I have to ask Drake now before I can ride you..." she apologies brushing Sky's blue hair. Sky is in blue colour thats why Symphony named her Sky, she reminds her of the sky.  Sky rubs its head on her cheeks which made Symphony to laugh and kisses it on its cheek. such a good Pegacy. if only Pegacy could understand.  

after brushing and feeding Pegacy she will busy herself with some gardening which she had started to busy herself with. She would always work with the gardens, planting flowers  and herbs by immersing herself in nature. 

Drake hadn't attempted anything since the night of how he puts it as Symphony's punishment. Symphony was grateful. although Her body has already been fully recovering , but mentally she still feels sick thinking about that day. 

Symphony craved company. Any company, she felt so alone. She missed her mother who always makes her smile , she missed her sisters so much and not forgetting her father, Symphony has always known to be her fathers daughter, they always have a special bond, Symphony is his favourite , can't really blame her being the oldest its a natural. She wanted to visit her family, but Drake seemed to be always busy and lets admit she doesn't really wants to ask him for anything , she knows the answer would be No or even worse he would mock her how childish she is or how is she going to go there to complain about this. One thing that Drake yet to find out is the fact that Symphony has always been the courages one in the family, always had took the bigger load, she is never a coward and never the one who complains and argues ! However she still miss Home, most of all she misses her freedom. Missing her freedom Symphony was slowly drowning in loneliness .

Today She decided to ask Drake when he returns home, she had already cooked dinner all prepared and neatly placed on the dinning table . Symphony decided she wanted to ask Drake if maybe she could go out at the night market . She can ride Sky, Poor Sky, It needed to fly at night.  

hearing his Black Pegacorn Midnight, she knows He is back. tying her hair into waterfall plaids, she walked down the stairs to greet him and to ask permission from him. but to her surprise, he was not alone. 

"No" although it came out a whisper, Symphony was truly hurt seeing Drake. He was grabbing a women which Symphony has no idea who she is, this women has fiery red hair , Drake was kissing her deeply. Not caring Symphony was watching or there or not. 

Symphony felt sad and in away humiliated, Drake was deliberately playing with her. Drake wanted her to knew that he made the rules and that she would abide them. The moment Drake's eyes reaches her eyes He smirked at her.  Her eyes downcast once she realise his smirk on her.

" Ruby this is Symphony, Symphony Ruby will be spending some day with me today.." he said while Ruby smiled at her with a fixed smile on her face.  

Drake looked at Symphony and saw her struggle with her emotions.

" Is anything the matter" Drake asks of her, she shook her head giving him the bitchiest smile she can pull it through.

" Nope of course not.." Symphony told walking away, Drake was surprised he never thought she will react this way. he was dumbstruck.

" well, Dinner is ready all set at the dinning table, if you excuse me I have to attend to my Pegacy  , she is in need of my care " Symphony curtsy to them sweetly, hiding her internal flare of anger towards him and reacted as sweetly as possible.

 Making her way to the stable. Drake didn't like that bit, he was furious. he wanted to see her raw emotions but it seems like she is good at hiding it.

" I wish you to serve us..." Drake said , she stops taking every effort not to burst at him, she turned looking at him, he had that look to defy him. Symphony was not stupid, never stupid. once bitten twice shy, she is starting to understand this game. something is wrong and she will be finding it out sooner or later. but for now if Drake wants to play, game on.

she bit her bottom lips playing along, smiling at them, Ruby was looking at her in all her glory ,her tiny waste was wrapped by Drakes hand, yes the firry fizzy red long haired girl is beautiful, very skinny with olive skin tone and greenish bluish eyes,  Symphony has always been classified as full figured and with dull eyes and yes it annoys her that it effects her self esteem. keep it together Symphony, keep it together.    

" Drake, if I was there to join that would be rude of me, can't you see Miss Ruby would prefer to enjoy some time with you to talk about private matters, I'm sure she wouldn't want me to be there as a distraction. I had already prepared dinner and wine and had placed it on the table, all that needed to be done is help and serve yourself... I have to attend to Sky, she is not herself today... please Drake let me attend to her  "Symphony told smiling as sweetly as possible, it infuriates Drake. Why is she being nice. why is she being sweet. Then again what type of wife would do that, why is she not getting angry, why is she not getting upset. 

"  I prefer you to serve us..then you can attend to your pegacy " He told , fine just do it Symphony. But do not let them win. take note

" Oh you poor dears, you must be that starving than, what are we waiting for .. I'll serve you guys food right away" she gave them the best plastered smile ever, walking in first. she always wanted to be a performer well this is her chance, but whats new is its alive untrained.

At the dinning room, Symphony has went in the kitchen to collect another plate for Ruby...Drake was furious seating on the head table while Ruby was seating beside him. 

" Is everything alright.." Ruby asks placing her hand on Drakes hand, No it is not alright, of course He is not going to tell her that.

" Perfectly Fine.. " He told tapping her hand reassuring her, the moment Symphony walks in the dinning room, just in time for Drake to react and to hold Ruby's chin and give her an erotic kiss. It hurt her, it hurt her bad, don't react Symphony, just play the game don't react. 

she smiles at them sweetly and the awkwardness creeping in her. this was awkward. Going to the table plating for both of them the meal, she placed them in front of them, poring the rum in the goblets. Drake was still kissing her but she pretended like she didn't see anything, and that only infuriates him , they started to moan into the kiss but Symphony pretended like she was deaf. It was getting tiring now, letting go of Ruby's Lips , He looked at her and smirk at her,  she wasn't looking at him. her eyes were down.

noticing they had stopped kissing, looking up, Symphony smiled at them, the awkward sweet smile again.  Hold it together Symphony hold it together. If that is all, could I go to seek Sky now.... It was the most easiest thing to say, her mind asks her to say it, but her heart couldn't so .... 

" Could i go up now.." she said softly , bitting her bottom lips, defeated. 

" Don't want to attend for your Pegacy .... " Drake smirks drinking his wine  from his goblet. She shook her head no. still looking down, you won Drake , you won. 

He nods at her, which made her to quickly made her way upstairs. she needs to catch a breath. she need some time alone, but then again Sky she needs to attend to Sky, rushing back down the stairs she made her way out to the stables. 

The blue flured beast was waiting for her in the stables, Its like she knows that Symphony is about to come to her, unfortunately Sky is chained at the stable and the key is with Drake. Midnight gave a sound which made her to place her hand on her chest. making her way to Sky, she touched her and petted her. she is the only thing she has here on her side. 

" I'm sorry sky, I tried.. but I promise you I will bring you out tomorrow.. I will ask Drake.." she talks on her own to the beast, although with no respond the beast seats down, which cause symphony to seat down placing her back on the beast. and keeps on rubbing its fur, her tears coming out now. 

all the frustration  drove her to sleep on the comfort of the beast. Her Pegacy which she has named Sky, was Her comfort zone. It placed it's head on top of her comforting her on its grace. 

The next day Drake woke up with Ruby in his arms, its not right yes he knows, she is not the one to be in his arms , yes he knows that well, for now this will do. Anyway to hurt Symphony. Getting up after his regulars, he dress up to head down for breakfast. Ruby was still naked and was asleep on his bed, he didn't wants to disturb her. Ruby was a good girl yesterday, she had satisfied his needs and he was happy with her. 

Going down to the dining table he had noticed that the plates weren't washed yet and the food that they had left at dinner yesterday was still there. Yes though Drake had dismissed Symphony for the night but Drake expected she would be early up in the morning cleaning the table up and seek to do breakfast.

he walks in the kitchen and notice she wasn't there either, walking up to her room barging  in as always, he was shocked to see she was not on her bed , he open the bathroom door and nope she wasn't there either. If she had left the house without his permission, she will be so punished, but at the same time, if she had left the house for good thats what Drake wanted. It's part of the deal , The Moonlit will loose their knight title for good and they will no longer will be considered as Nobel. that was part of Drakes plan all along but somehow he doesn't want that either, well not just yet, he wants her around until the time is right.

Rushing out of his house to the stables to see whether her Pegacy was still there and thank god it was but he was shocked to see Symphony sleeping beside it as well. Maybe her Pegacy was really unwell which caused her to accompany it or maybe she wanted to runaway but failed since he is the one whom is holding the keys of its chains. Drake could not make out why she is there. she was asleep still wearing the dress she wore last night, no nighty on.. nor no new dress on. 

He touches her face, which frightened her, gasping she wakes up. for awhile she was on a trance couldn't figure out where she was and what was she doing here. until she realised she had spend the night at the stable, she pulled her legs to herself feeling cold and suddenly very afraid. Symphony's eyes went almost glassy looking. Her cheeks flushed a red that suited her thick full lips. Drake knows well she has been crying. 

" your cold..." Drake said calmly. His voice was so calm, for a moment he felt sad for her. just for a moment. He walk to her taking out his shirt shielding it on top of her so that she could get warm, she cried looking down, she feels upset and betrayed. 

He didn't like seeing her on the ground like that, she was his wife, a knights wife and she looks like a peasant girl .  He carried her up bridal style. Symphony gasps but she allowed it, for now she feels humiliated , she places her head on his chest and pretend that the whole world just disappear.  he carried her all the way up to her room placing her on the bed and tucked her in.

" I will see you at Dinner, Ruby and I will be spending out today.. " He said to her and walked away closing her door. Symphony heard him well, but, sleep again did took over her.  

A couple of days has been gone, Ruby had spend her time with Drake, Symphony never questioned him. Symphony had made sure to do all the things he had ask her to do. Drake did give Symphony another rule which was she is to only sleep in her room and if he ever had seen her out of her room past the moonlight hours without his permission, she is to be punished.

Just like any other day Symphony got up wearing her dress prepared the breakfast for her husband and his lover. And once they all set for breakfast she excuses herself to tend the garden. Her Garden is grooming very well, she loves to see the Lavender, Jasminum ,  Rosaceae, Chrysanthemopsis and Hibiskes. she had already pluck some and started to prepare some scented oils  out of it. she loves experimenting this flowers. she loves making scented candles and scented oil-ments. If she ever runs a business she would sale those and become rich.

after plucking some more flowers in her basket, she carried them all the way  home, she always made sure to ignore whatever Drake or Ruby are doing. She always made sure to fill her time on her garden or cleaning the stable and comforting Sky or else make sure to clean the house and make breakfast, lunch and dinner for everyone. Drake tried his best on putting her and Ruby in the same room so that he could show off to Symphony but she will have her ways out of it, of what to say or what to do. 

reaching the Hall She saw Ruby and and Drake seating at the living room. 

" oh what lovely flowers you have there..." Ruby the w***e told looking at Drake and back at the Basket.

" yes it is.. " was Drake complements , 

" Symphony bring the basket here.." Drake ordered her, she was shocked to say the least but she complied by going to him. He took a violet coloured Rosaceae and give it to Ruby, she smiled at him sweetly picking the flower up.

" Those are needed for an oil-ment that I am working on... " Symphony protested getting upset.

" I am sure you can find another flower.." Drake said looking at her, he didn't aspect of her to protest.

" It will take days to grow one of those.." she protested again, she needed the Violet coloured Rosaceae that was her main ingredient. Drake was not pleased by her protest.

" As I said, I'm sure you can work on that.." He answered.

" Why don't you work on your self.." Symphony snaps at him and snatches back her flower placing it in her basket. She starts on her walk to her room. Drake stood up and stopped her.

" Symphony, apologies to Ruby and give back that flower to her.." Drake snapped at her. this time Symphony had had it, she is not going to give up

" I said to apologies to her and give her back that flower.." Drake yelled at her again, she gave up, bitting her lower lip she she gave the flower back to her . 

" I'm sorry..." she said softly, Ruby looked happy, she won, Drake has chosen her over Symphony. 

Symphony couldnt deal with this, she starts to walk up again, 

" I did not dismiss you yet.." He snapped at her, she turn to look at him. her tears coming out on its own, she is crying, biting her bottom lips she looks at him. how can he be so cruel, she has been a good girl for this long, how can he be this cold in heart. she feels humiliated, and that is what Drake's intentions were as well.

" come here ..." He said seating on his chaise Lounge, Symphony knew that was one of those direct orders that he had warned Symphony about. Swallowing her pride she walk to him slowly  still with the Basket on her hand. He pulled her wrist roughly near to him. grabbing her Basket he placed it down. Had symphony over reacted? Her instincts were always right, and at this particular moment her instincts were warning her that Drake wasn't happy with Symphony at all.

 " Ruby you can take any flower that you wish to take from the basket" he told Ruby, Symphony looked down, she felt so sad, so upset. she ignore to look at anyone. She felt Drakes arms went to her thighs and start rubbing her there , then he started to lift her dress a bit to rub on the back of her thigh. 

No... No.." she said angrily, moving away from him and his grip, Symphony had enough. she backed away quickly pulling away from him. she had figure out what he was about to do, and she wasn't stupid.

" The moment you had bring  her to this house and chose to have a lover, you will not be touching me, you have her to please you... you won't be touching ." She said . Symphony couldn't fight her inner battle with herself . Symphony didn't know how to approach the situation. It was just too much for her, she had been bottling up for so long now she cracked it. 

she starts to walk her way up, Drake was more quicker then her, He walk behind her and within seconds grabbed her wrist twirl her and slung her over his shoulder. 

"  put me down, . stop it put me down this instance.. " Symphony protested and pounded his back with her little fists. He didn't reply her instead he walk in to her chamber and threw her on her bed. 

closing her chamber door, he walked to her pulling her up from there bed and started to unrobe her dress.

" What are you doing.." she asked trying to stop him.

 He didn't answered, he made her to lay half bend her chest was on the bed, her knees were on the floor, without warning he s****s her ass so hard. 

she cried out loud. she tried placing her hand at the back of her to stop him from s******g her but Drake was brutal, He turned her around roughly , He slammed her head onto the bed again and smacked her rear end so hard, she could t do anything except to hold her bedding tightly . He was kneeling at the back of her, trapping her on place. 

" Please Drake stop, Please..Drake please.. I'm sorry.. Please stop " She cried out. It went on deaf ears. He didn't give a f**k. He continued to smack her now raw backside on and on again. once he was over punishing her He kneaded her ass. He pulled her hips upwards, rubbing his d**k on her ass finding his way in her entrance. He trusts her womanhood from behind. she cries out loud. her knuckles turning white, her throat painful from her screams, cries and begs. Once he was satisfied, he comes out from her , pulls up his pants and got up. 

Symphony was drained out, she has no energy to fight. she was bruised and was in pain. Drake pulled her up  which made her to face him wincing sobbing.

" It is my rights to have you when I want or where I want.. you will offer me yourself whenever I ask you too. If you ever defy me, you will go through more pain but this time maybe Ruby or anyone might join and whitness  so that it will mare your memory for good.." He said pushing her on the bed. she sobs crying out, she was in pain. He left her and went out and she could hear the locks, great he locked her in.

feeling so tired, sad and in pain, she lay down on the bed covering the blanket on top of her, sleep symphony, for now you need rest.
