The Mute Slave: Back For Revenge

The Other Woman

The c**k must have tried it best for Maria to wake up early the following morning but it failed the mission. She hasn’t had such good body rest in forever and it took her a long time to remember she was still in the midst of her enemy.

She give a big yawn and cover her mouth instantly as she caught a pair of eyes staring at her, embarrassed to have been caught in such act, she look away and get out of bed pulling a cover for her body immediately.

“I’m sorry if I startled you, I was worried and came to check up on you” Lucky explained getting up from the edge of the bed.

Maria look to see how risen the sun was and he quickly help her pull the curtain to reveal the bright sunlight.

“It’s noon already and your helpers were a bit worried so they came to inform me”

Maria stare at him for a second and scoff at the pretentious act of this, he had another woman warm him all night and he was in her room pretending to be a caring husband.

“Hope your night wasn’t disturbed?” she wrote immediately she grabbed her note feeling frustrated that she can’t lash out.

“Of course not, I was already up” he answered with a cheerful smile seeing she cares.

“I hope your mistress didn’t complain though” she said to herself and roll her eyes walking inside the bathroom to wash her face and anger away.

It took her a while to freshen up and she put on one of the silk robe hanging in the bathroom to dry herself. She had the small towel to dry her hair and came out half wet.

“.…?” she almost cuss at Lucky when she saw him still standing on the spot and go angry to pick up the pen and note.

“Why are you still here?’ she asked letting her face draw her emotion.

“I would like to discuss something with you” he stated.

Maria noticed his palm on his stomach, the spot where he has been stabbed and thought if he wanted to talk about it now but rather than worry about how to tackle him, she was thinking about his wound, if it was all healed up and if he was fine now.

‘He should be anyway, he had a good nurse attend to him last night which must have eased and erase every pain he experienced last night’

“Who is that woman from yesterday?” she wrote suddenly curious.

She was the only one who wasn’t affect by her spell. How that was possible wasn’t clear to her too, it seemed she will have to be more cautious next time.

“Wendy Blake” Lucky drawled

“She was one of the captives that was rescued from prison when I went to bring our family back. She is a widow with a daughter”

…If this is about yesterday, I already took care of her do not worry much”

“I’m sure you have” Maria wrote and dump the note back on the bed.

The gut he has to dare talk about it like it was no big deal, if she hadn’t needed him for her great plan, she would have snapped his neck.

She ignore him once again and go sit by the mirror to apply oil to her hair and comb it. Keeping a closer look on Lucky for any movement but he just stared at her every hand move and his eyes stayed glued on her back.

Annoyed again by his dumbness, she turn to him and question him with her eyes to ask what he was still doing and why he won’t go out so she could dress up

“Ahh, I’m sorry. I will come back” he said and retreated.

“Don’t bother just go stay under the arms of your woman” she scream inward and slam the comb in the hand on the table.

After managing to pick a good knee-length dress and packed her hair in a bun with little hairpins as accessories to it, she walked out of her room to survey her environment.

The thought of running into the woman from last night cross her mind and she decided to walk to the direction of the other bedroom as she quickly made up of an excuse to use just in case the situation presents itself.

She walked past the door and stopped a step away, not satisfied, she went back and couldn’t resist the temptation to push her ears on the door to listen in. For a second, there was nothing but then when she wanted to leave she heard Lucky’s voice and quickly stayed glued to the door attentively.

“I need you to take care of things while I’m gone, I won’t be long”

“I will”

Maria heard the woman’s voice say excitedly and she almost scoff at the pretentious fake tone.

“From now on, do not come in here unless I ask for you, especially at night”

“People would misunderstand if they see you walk into my room at such hours”

“I was just worried about you and wanted to offer some comfort” the woman argued and Maria couldn’t help the loud scoff.

It was out before she could stop herself and as she made to retreat the door opened and there he was staring at her.

She didn’t bother to explain herself and stared back at him and then at the woman standing behind him, it was yet another Lena except this one wasn’t that pretty.

“Maria?” Lucky called out amused to see her at his room.

He hasn’t expected her to visit at all but it seemed like she was as soften as she looks. He noticed her gaze was elsewhere and look back to see Wendy still standing behind him.

“This is Wendy Blake, she is one of my riders and she is fun” he introduced hoping the two would become friends so she would have someone to keep her company when he would be gone.

“Of course she is” Maria scoff more inwardly and made to walk away feeling upset looking at the two.

Lucky quickly grabbed her wrist and let go almost instantly, he knew she could be very sensitive about that from last night incident

“I am taking a trip to the city and might not be back for a while, if you wan anything Wendy can get it for you”

“She’s well acquainted with the palace and can also give you a tour whenever you want it” he added but saw that she was not interested.

“is something wrong?” he asked thinking maybe that was why she had come to him in the first place.

“Nothing, it just so nice putting your woman in charge of the me and the palace like she’s the owner’ Maria grunt inside again and walk away fast this time before he could stop her.

Lucky stared at her back as she walked out of sight and sighs frustratingly, it was hard to know what she was thinking when she can’t say a word. He hopes that this trip wil be worthwhile and that problem would be solved.

Maria take her time to walk around the palace alone not wanting any of the helpers assigned to her to accompany her. They are part of the family too and for all she knew, they could be spies sent to monitor her and do worst things to her.

In her long walk, she ended up at the backyard which seemed really desolated like it hasn’t been visited for a long while and decided to take a look around it.

She walked further and sees a little worn out door leading to what seemed like a cave, wanting to know if there was some secrets there, she proceed to the door and tried to open it but it was locked.

Just as she tried again, a voice halt her and she look back to see the same woman standing a mile away and yelling at her.

Maria decided to forget about the rusty door and found another way of fun instead. Since she had approached her first then she will make her into a ‘Lena’ and take a practice on her.
