Mated To The Fairy Princess

The game of pawn

Luna's POV

Mark dragged me into the room and let go of my hand as I stared at him furiously. "I told you not to go with that woman but you wouldn't listen.. look what she has done to you"

" Oh please! Stop your drama.. if you had provided the money she asked for, do you think I would have gone with her?" I fired.

Suddenly, he held unto my hand and dragged me into his embrace. " I..I know that I am not financially stable and I am not happy about it either but constantly arguing with you is killing me more. I will appreciate it if you try to understand me" He softly said.

I felt my feet faltered and my heart wavered as his skin brushed against mine. The world went silent and all I could hear was the sound of my heart beat across his chest. I swallowed hard and quickly disengaged from the hug.

"Stay away from me Mark." I pushed him away. "I know I can't remember my memories but I don't think anyone has humiliated me the way your stepmom did today"

" And do you know who should be blamed? You! Only you Mark.. If only you had money, I don't think she would have dared to do what she did today? " I added, almost yelling.

"I know and I am really sorry"

"But sorry won't solve anything..I am sure Sarah will keep on hurting and humiliating me and I am scared ."

" You don't have to be scared of anyone, I am here and I won't let anyone hurt you.. or maybe we can leave this house"

I cut him off.. " To where? To the streets? " I snapped and he stopped talking.

I took a deep breath and walked up to him.

"Why are you running away from your responsibilities Mark? You have to stand up for what rightfully belongs to you. I know you are not in good terms with your dad but that doesn't remove the fact that you are the legitimate son of this family" I said, staring into his eyes. " Don't sit down and watch another woman snatch from your hands what you and your mum has laboured for years"

He heaved a deep sigh. " You are right. It is time to put Sarah and his son where they belong.. I won't let them treat me nor you like a maid and I will gradually snatch everything they have collected from me, including Mr Peter who is supposed to be my Dad" He said through gritted teeth.

I raised my eyebrows in disbelief. Did he just agree so quickly?. Jeez. I have been waiting for this moment all my life. "That is the spirit Mark! So are we going to the company tommorow?" I giggled.

" Not so quick.. I will need some time to accept the fact that I have to work together with my dad and step brother"

My smile quickly turned into a frown again. " You are hopeless" I shook my head in pity.

" Now stop talking and lie on the bed" He said.

"Huh? Why do I have to lie on the bed?" I asked with furrowed brows as my hand quickly flew up to cover my breast.

He burst out laughing.. "You have a dirty mind. Lie down and rest while I clean up your wound"

Oh. Ugh. What else was I thinking?.

"I will let you clean up my wounds but that doesn't mean we are at peace, because I am still angry at you" I fired and grudgingly laid down on the bed.

Mark shook his head and sauntered over to the wardrobe. Hee stretched forth his hand to the top of the wardrobe and brought down a box. I watched him brought the box to where I laid and sat beside me on the bed.

"What is that box? Are you trying to poison me?" I shot him a suspicious stare.

" You wish! If I wanted to kill you, I would have done that a long time" he scoffed. " This is the first aid box"

" What is that?" I asked, confused.

" It's a box that contains some essential materials that can be used to treat injuries and cuts.. wait! You don't know what a first aid box is?" He exclaimed with widened eyes.

" Who said I don't what a first aid box is?" I snapped.

" Sometimes, I feel like you are some kind of alien or something"

My heart almost missed a beat. " Yes, I am an Alien and I suck blood..so can I suck yours Mr Mark Peter" I said wearing a scary face.

He lets out a loud laugh. "Silly! So does this mean that we are now at peace?"

"No" I snapped.

Well done Luna. You have really played this game well! Now I see the reason why mum so much love playing the game of pawns. She would always ask the maids to call me at the eve of everyday to play the game with her.

And whenever I complain that the game is so difficult. She would always reply with "Controlling the minds of people is never easy head princess.. once you get use to this game, you will find it easy to control the minds of your opponents and bring them down just like the way you brought down this pawn"

I guess she was right. I have managed to push Mark into standing up against that evil woman.

I closed my eyes as I recalled what happened earlier, downstairs.While I was still in the room with Sarah, I heard some approaching footsteps and I knew it was Mark, so I quickly pushed down the flower vase and made some cuts on my skin so that he would think that I was being hurt by Sarah.

Mark sees me as his responsibility now and wouldn't see me hurt. I knew it would provoke him and boom! It worked! I love the shock on that step witch's face when Mark challenged her.

Dumbass! How could she be so gullible to believe me that I would really partner with her?

I only acted like I was against Mark before her so that I could win her trust and find out her true intentions. My suspicions had been confirmed; Sarah is holding grudges against Mark because she believes he snatched the right of being the legitimate son of the family from his son and wouldn't stop at anything to ruin him.

I could see so much hatred in her eyes for Mark and it is dangerous if she continues to live so close with him. I have to assist Mark to chase her out of this house as soon as possible. I am sure she hates me now and would want to take revenge. I have to think of something to make her trust me again.

Get ready Sarah, you don't know who you are up against.

I am a head princess and I was born to get whatever I want and that includes Mark's money and this large house. I can't wait to spend money as much as I want, to buy as many clothes and shoes as I please and no one can stop me. Not even you.

"Ouch" I exclaimed as the liquid Mark dropped on my wound resurrected the pains that was already sleeping.

"Sorry" he apologized using his mouth to blow some air on the wound.

Was that supposed to ease the pain? Possibly.. because the pain gradually reduced. I closed my eyes as sleep took over me.

Sarah's POV

"Mum can you stop drinking, you are drunk already" Daniel scolded, trying to snatch away the bottle from my hand but I stopped him.

" Drunk? No I am not. Just let me drink away the pains I feel right now" I whimpered.

" No mum. What would dad think of you if he sees you in this condition? We have to be in his good books remember?"

" I don't care about what your dad thinks anymore.. all I want is to kill that Luna. I want to make her suffer" I cried as I gulped in more liquor.

" I think you are overreacting mum.. maybe Luna is on your side and you are just getting her wrong"

I raised my eyebrows." What? Are you taking that b***h side?"

"No mum..I am just saying" he shrugged.

"So you think I am lying? That I am blind? " I half yelled.. " That Luna had the guts to double cross me. She acted as if she was on my side, I never knew she had another plan up her sleeves" I gulped in more liquor.

" Do you know that for the first time, Mark dared to challenge me because of Luna. She has managed to win over his heart and she is taking advantage of that. Ugh! I hate her Daniel, I really do"..

" Calm down mum and stop drinking already" Daniel said and snatched away the drink from my hand before I could resist.

"Give the drink to me Dan. I think I am losing my mind. I am about to go crazy" I said through clenched fist, panting heavily.

" Your drugs! Get a hold on yourself mum while I quickly get your drugs" He offered and sauntered over to my wardrobe.

" This is all Luna's fault. She has made a mistake by playing this game with me and I am not going to stop until she pays" I roared and pushed down the glass vase which laid carelessly on the centre table beside me.
