New bride

Next 5

I just could not understand why the maids were trying to stop me. They didn’t want me out of the room. I should have suspected them the very moment they began to stare at each other when they were bathing me.

“What is the matter? Why should I not go out?” I questioned, looking at them both but they were quiet. They bowed their heads, trying not to look at me.

Did they want me to stay with them and play with them all day? I understood they wanted my presence and would not be happy if I married Marcus but I had to do what I wanted to.

I hissed and walked to the door. With a smile on my face, I opened the door to go out. I had to comfort my sister and make her know all would be fine.

If I had to marry Marcus in her stead, then I would do it. I just didn’t want her worried or upset.

I was even more shocked when the guards stood in front of me, not willing to let me go. I was taken aback as I did not understand what was going on.

“What is the matter?” I questioned, looking at them. I was disappointed. How dare they try to stop me?

“I am very sorry ma’am but it is a royal decree” One of the guards bowed.

Royal decree? A royal decree to stand in my way and not let me out of my room? It did not make any sense to me. What was going on? I turned back to look at Yvette and Yvonne, They were on their knees sobbing. I was…. Heartbroken.

Did they know something? Yet again, I was betrayed. I was so upset and turned to them.

“Does anyone care to explain what is going on here?” I yelled.

“The heiress had ordered us not to let you out” One of the guards answered, of course, bowing.

Was this a joke? My sister? Why would she say that? I tried to move again to ask her why she said so but again, I was stopped. Was that happening?

“Why has Kayla asked you not to let me out?” I crossed my arms and turned to Yvette and Yvonne.

They disgusted me that very minute.

The last thing I had expected was their betrayal.

Not again.

“Marcus..” Yvette managed to speak up. What about him? I wondered as I raised my brows. There had to be something. “Marcus is around” They announced.

My heart ceased to beat for a second and my eyes widened in shock. What was going on? Kayla had ordered for me to be locked up so she could marry Marcus without interference from me. No, I had to stop them.

I tried to move forward again but the guards were quick to stop me, bowing right in front of me.

“How dare you! I order you all to leave here immediately!” I yelled in anger but they were not ready to let me go. They simply stood, transfixed on a spot like they had not heard what they said.

“We are very sorry, your majesty. We got a royal decree to not let you leave and until it is revoked, we cannot allow you to leave”

Anger welled up in me that very minute but immediately, it transitioned to tears. I was deeply hurt. I had to do something.

I could not imagine my sister getting married to the monster.

Kayla’s POV

“Your Highness, Marcus is around” One of the maids announced as I made my hair. For reasons unknown, I wanted to make my hair today itself. I had to get accustomed to it.

What if I had no maid at Marcus’ place? Marcus was known to be very brutal so the chances were high that he would not allow me to have a maid.

I nodded at the maid and then looked at the reflection in the mirror. Sadness was boldly written all over my face. I died immediately.

Living with Marcus was like selling my soul to the devil but I could not put my sister’s and the whole pack’s life at stake. If Marcus didn’t get me, he was going to go after my sister. If he could not get her, he would destroy our pack.

Violet... My heart raced at the thought of her. Vee was not so easy of a lady. She was going to ruin everything if she comes to see Marcus.

She could get Marcus upset and he would kill everyone. No. I was not going to allow that. I had to think of a way to stop her as soon as possible.

“Nia” I looked up at one of the maids. Immediately, Nia bowed and walked closer to me.
