I felt his hand touch my chin, he slowly raised my face until we met each other's eyes and I saw a glint of evil in his eyes, which confused me. A moment later, his lips descended on mine and started passionately kissing me. I froze in shock. At first, my senses refused to process it. It felt like I was in slow motion. He pulled away slightly and hissed to me, "Always be obedient, I hate disobedient people, remember that."
I couldn't move nor speak. The pain intensified, until suddenly it stopped and I was left alone dizzy and sweating profusely. I felt my family pretended not to see anything and continued looking down. Only when the man approached them, they all jumped off their seats. When the man was gone commanding my father to get me ready tomorrow morning, a carriage will sent from his mansion to pick me up, my stepmother spoke in front of everyone. She spoke coldly, "Now, he has demanded your beautiful little daughter. Finally she was worthwhile keeping and" she laughed hysterically and went upstairs.
After I heard her bedroom door slam shut, I collapsed on the couch. I lost I felt empty, exhausted, and nauseous. My father was standing there looking at me with empty eyes with no emotion. After a while he took his gray-out coat and headed outside.
My body shook violently for several minutes till I went out, and I woke up in the morning when I felt someone spray water at my face, so I tried opening my eyelids slowly, and my stepmother came in with a jar of water to wake me up. "Good morning slave, remember you have to leave for the duke's mansion today at a precise time. It's almost nine in the morning. Wake up before I throw hot water at you," she yelled angrily as soon as she spotted me getting out of bed.
As I dressed myself, my mind was still clouded. I'd been bought as a slave by a member of the nobility, the sudden realization hit me very bad the man who bought was none other than the ruthless and monstrous man who feels no compassion for anyone and he was the one who bought me how could my father sell me to such man and why did he take money from this man? I felt the whole world spinning around me, I felt suffocated just by thinking I will be his slave he will make my life miserable .
And then I must obey him and everything is controlled by him I wonder if I'm dreaming or going mad. I hope it's a dream because reality was too hard and miserable to think through. All I could do is follow what was written in my fate.
Then the door of my room opened showing Gaby stepmother standing there with a harsh look and told me to hurry. The royal carriage was here to pick up to the dukes mansion. I couldnt move my muscles I felt as I the whole world was spinning. I felt fear in my heart what was waiting for me no onw know.
I took baby steps which annoyed my step mom so she harshly grabbed my arm and dragged me to the carraige there she greeted politely to the knights they greeted back and opened the door for me I didnt feel like bidding farewell to my step mom but my heart said otherwise so i bid her goodbye however i didnt see my father anywhere so i got in the carriage fearing that I might make the knights angry.
We were driven for a couple of miles leaving my small home behind then reached a large mansion we stopped and one of the knight told me to follow him inside the mansion, The mansion was so huge and dark that I was scared of what was inside. We kept walking and reached a huge hall where many soldiers were guarding with armor, swords and shields. We entered the in a room where few servants were working the one of the woman who seemed in her mid forties came and greeted the knight then told me to follow her I bid adieu to the other knight and followed the lady.
We walk for a minute when suddenly we reached a chamber. I saw tables in different shapes,some long some short, all spread throughout the place. I could smell fresh bread coming from the kitchen which made my stomach growl in hunger I felt embarrassed. Then I heard the woman saying "Im the head maid of this mansion and the master ordered me to prepare you for the day as his slave, go take a bath and wear this dress, master doesnt like filth and make sure not to make him angry or it wont be good for you" With those words she handed me a cloth dress and showmed me the bathroom.
I slowly walked to the bathroom not knowing what else I can do in the time of pressure so I went in took the cloth off and sat in the shower hoping to wash away my previous state of misery. I let out the tears which dropped on the floor and washed myself up while I cried out loud for the suffering which had put on my soul even if it would have all been justified.
As I finished my bathing another servant showed up who seemed very young so I tried making conversation with her since im new in this place I thought of making friends which I never had any before, I asked her name and she replied with "Amber".
She looked at me and smiled and said "I am happy to meet you" I responded with "im glad to meet you as well" then I asked her how long she has been working here? she replied sadly " I have been here for since I was a baby my mom used to work here. Then she passed away few years ago, so miss Ann the head maid has been taking care of me athough some mids bully me saying Im cursed so my both parents die but thats no true" with that she started weeping I tried to comfort her as I can feel her pain, but I wasnt able to do anything because I wasnt experienced with these matters.
But I tried to comfort her and suddenly the head maid opened the bathroom door she looked angry probably because we were taking too long and I had to meet the duke as I was his slave now. The head maid ordered her to go to the laundry to clean the clothees so she hurried out of the bathroom. The head maid then turned towards me and glared at me and said "now hurry and come outside we need to go to the duke's chamber he will be back from his work very soon and if he doesnt find you in his room he will be very mad at both of us so I hurry.
I rushed out of the bathroom and follwed miss Ann I was a bit hesitant nd scared what will the duke do to me. i was wearing a black dress which had no sleeve and it seeme to revealing for my taste so I was uncomfortable so I tried sking miss Ann if she has a more modest dress. For which replied with a chuckle " A slave has no choice of her own she folloes the taste of her master" I was abit embarrased and afraid by her comment.
We arrived at the main door I was afraid of going in the chamber of the ruthless duke because I didnt know what I can expect the head maid pushed me inside the chamber and closed the door behind me I was taken back. The chamber was massive and it had a king--sized bed and a chair with a table which held many documents.
There were shelves filled with books and artifacts and also the wall was full of portraits and paintings. It was very big. I was struck by how much wealth this man possessed and I wondered he doesnt have a big heart like his big wealth.
He was not here yet so I sat on the floor not knowing if a slave was allowwed to sit on her masters bed without his permission and while sitting I went back to the beautiful memories of my childhood with my mother, one day I was playing hide and seek with my mom while I was hiding under the bed my mother was looking for me while I was giggling.
Finally my mother found me under the bed so she was tickling me mercilessly, making me laugh so hard that my mom stopped and she hugged me telling me that she loves me so much. I remember my mom would always say to me that I have to be brave and strong because I am a very kind person and people may take advantage of me.
My mom slowly put me on her lap and started braiding my long black hair which I inherited from my mom people used to say I look exactly like my mom, I got her beauty and kindness but I have a mole on my the side of my chin. while braiding my mom was telling me stories about my grandfather who was very wise and a kind physisian and when he died they built a statue of him in memory of his greatness.
I never saw him but I could imagine he must have been a very kind man he would help any needy no matter what I always wanted to be a physician but because of my father I never had a chance to study but my mom taught me how to few herbal remedies which can cure certain illness she couldnt teach me much to read and write as my father would always say woman shoud never learn to raed and write and whenever he used to see my mom teachng me he would beat my mom, but my mom always told me that I should not be dispirited and should keep trying even though my father was against it.
Suddenly, I heard the door opening so I came back from my thoughts I saw the duke entering the room he stood there for a moment looking at me then he spoke "You look very attractive" I bowed at him and he motioned me to raise, he looked at me with cold eyes with no emotion "You know what I want" I looked blank "come here" with a very commanding tone he commanded me to come closer, I was trembling but I obeyed him immediately with a smirk he took me by my hand and devoured me with his eyes from top to bottom and licked his lips that made me very uncomfortable I tried breaking free but he was holding my hands very tight.
It was hurting, tears were forming in my eyes I tried to break free again but he slapped me hard across my face which made me fall on the floor he began to touch me in every place he could reach he touched my neck he fondled my breasts.
I was crying out loud he then ripped my dress and I was fully naked he pinched my n*****s then he squeezed my breast with his hand and sucked on my n****e I was screaming loudly that made him angrier so he slapped me hard again I could feel blood flowing down my cheek but I was still not giving up I tried biting him but he just punched me in the stomach he told me that I was his slave so I should obey him or else he will punish me by whipping me but I did not give up so he grabbed one of breast and bit hard on my n****e making it bleed and then I could feel the pain and it hurt so bad I was screaming louder now, he then hit me twice on my breast and once in the thigh and I fell on the ground in a pool of tears I was sobbing loudly.
Then the duke ordered me to stand I could hardly move how can stand but I tried standing up my body was shaking terribly. He took off his jacket and pants he was already naked he told me to lie on the bed but I shook my head and pleaded " please let me go I cant do this" I tried standing up but I cant move so I tried to run away but he caught me in his arms he picked me up and carried me to the bed.
I tried getting away again but he stopped me with his hand.
He growled "you are mine and you belong to me" with that he pushed me to the bed, I kept pleading
The duke got onto the bed and pulled me towards him.
I was crying and sobbing uncontrollably.
Then I felt his hot breath on my neck.
His hand touched my skin, as I felt something warm and wet touching my lips.
I felt the duke's mouth kissing my neck.
He whispered "you taste delicious, I'm glad I bought you from the bastard father of yours" I sobbed and felt disgusted at his comment.
The duke then kissed me with such passion, his tongue caressed my neck as he moaned loudly.
"Im going to make you my little slut" duke said with a grin
"No" I said quietly.
"Shut up b***h! Youre nothing more than a piece of trash" the duke said with a cruel smile.
, my cries were muffled by the dukes' c**k which had entered me. I was a virgin so it felt like my body was ripping apart due to the intense pain in my womanhood.
It felt as if all my organs were bleeding, it hurts really bad, the pain is spreading quickly in my womb.
I could hear the dukes voice "stop being a slut your not only my w***e your a slave!"
The duke began thrusting harder inside me as he groaned loudly "You will become my favorite toy don't cry you will soon regret it, you'll beg me for my love and my affection"
"NO!!! PLEASE STOP THIS!! PLEASE IM SORRY !!"
My screams didnt reach his ears " shut the f**k up slut you dont deserve to cry" he grunted as he started thrusting faster in me.
Suddenly a sharp pain shot through my v****a it felt as if someone was stabbing me in the v****a.
I felt myself losing control of my body and the feeling became worse as everything around me turned dark I started sweating profusely, I felt my body convulsing from the pain I screamed and I couldnt take it and I fainted on the bed.
When I opened my eyes I was lying on some white fluffy blankets that smelled heavenly like jasmine. I looked at my body and realized I was naked the blanket was covering the only part of me that wasn't covered was my face, as soon as I realize what happened with me I felt like so dirty. I quickly pulled the blanket off my body and started looking all around the room I was sitting in a large bed with a huge canopy above my bed.
As soon as I noticed the window on the right corner of the room, as I stood up the pain from my lower abdomen subsided slightly. Once I was satisfied that i wouldnt throw up I walked to the mirror and I walked towards it to examine myself and I was shocked to see my body was extremely pale like an alabaster sculpture and my chest area were swollen.
My body was covered in bruises and welts from the duke's biting and slapping and a lot of wounds on my thighs and hips. My hair was all messed up and I was having a hard time breathing as I was overwhelmed by fear how was I supposed to live with the duke as his slave I cant tolerate being a slave, I need to find a way to escape from the dukes clutches .
Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching the door and then I heard the door open and close. I turned around to see the duke Gabriel entered the room and my heart leaped in my throat I tried to run but before I knew it he held me from behind.
As I regained my senses i tried moving away from his grasp but he tightened his grip and forced me to turn around then he leaned close to my ear whispering into my ear "you look very pretty tonight, you know that" he said licking my neck and pressing his nose to mine making me gag.
I could smell the alcohol from his breath "let go of me, please, im tired" I managed to get out but the man didnt let go of me.
Then the man whispered into my ear "You look beautiful" he pressed himself firmly against my back and I was feeling scared because he wasnt letting me go he was squeezing my boobs. Then all of a sudden my body began shaking again and I couldn't control myself I began crying uncontrollably.
"What are you crying for?" the man asked "I dont want you to cry Marilynne" he replied.
When I realized that he wont let go, I started fighting him to get away from me. The man finally released me from his hold and he then grabbed me by the back of my head and slapped me and pushed me to the wooden floor, then he came closer to my face "Do you understand what your place is .
"You are a filthy slave who does not deserve to be called a human and you will listen to my orders when I tell you to do it, you will do it without question and you will do it better than anyone else" then he put his hand over my mouth to silence me "do you understand what I told you?" he asked "Yes master" I replied, "good girl" he said patting my hair.
The duke ordered me to take a bath got up and tried walking, it was hard as I was still sore from earlier event. I slowly picked up the ripped clothes and wrapped it around my body and left his chamber. The halway was slighty darker, the candles were lit up but the light didn't illuminate the entire hall I was afraid that someone would see me.
When I was out, I sat on my knees on the floor, and tried catching my breath as I was dizzy, the blood had drained from my cheeks and forehead. The pain was still lingering there as I remembered the things that happened between me and the duke.
Despite my sickness, I wanted to leave the castle and needed to locate a trustworthy person who could aid me in escaping the duke's control. As I was still unfamiliar with this house, I gently stood up to go looking for the maids' quarters. When I went downstairs to try to find the quarter, I spotted a maid carrying blankets, so I tried to call her. My voice was extremely weak, but it was enough to gain her attention. When she saw how I was feeling, she hurried over, set the blankets to the side, and grabbed my arms to support me.
I hesitantly said, "I am fine. Could you please show me the way to the servants quarter?" when she enquired about my well-being. she nodded and showed me where I need to go. After walking for quite some distance I arrived at the kitchen, where I found many maids busy cleaning pots and pans with their sleeves rolled up. I looked around No one saw me because they were busy.
When I got to the kitchen, I asked one of the maids to show me where the bathroom was, and once she pointed it out, I went in and had a bath.
As I was pouring water on my body, my wounds began to blister from the burn and discomfort, so I tried to alleviate the pain by gently rubbing a washcloth over them. After taking a shower, I dried my hair and wrapped my body in the supplied towels.
I was ready to retire to the servants' quarters after a long day .
