" that girl is very beautiful and attractive, has she received any proposal yet?" asked Lady D'cruz with curiosity. Jean looked unimpressed said lazily" NO no one even knows she exists she's always at home doesn't socialize with no one though I want her out of my home as soon as possible , do you have any man in recommendation? dear friend?" asked Jean. Lady D'cruz cleared her throat and said" yes I do and I'm sure you will benefit from this marriage. I work in duke Charles Wilson's mansion and the mother of Lord Wilson asked me to find a bride for the Lord, he is now 24 years old and lost his wife 1 year ago, My lord loves his wife so dearly that he doesn't want to remarry but the family needs a heir to take the lineage forward so Lady Wilson insists to find a bride for him and give a heir to the family and she is willing to pay a good sum of money if the bride is from a poor family and I think Ingrid will be the perfect bride for the lord" finished Lady d'cruz.
Jean seemed to be thinking about something and then she said" why not Eliza she is pretty ?and good at household chores?"
" You know very well Jean that she is not much attractive no offence to your daughter but look at Ingrid she can attract any man she wants, the duke cant reject her even if he wants to and as for Eliza Im sure the duke will reject her at first sight and you know that too don't you? anyways if you want to be wealthy then you need to give away Ingrid." said lady D'cruz firmly.
Jean thought for a while then agreed to the proposal " Please inform about the proposal to The lady Wilson, dear Mary. " said with an evil smirk.
I felt disgusted she was surely a greedy one however I was surprised at the sudden news and scared at the same what if he also treated me like some garbage. I went to the living room and placed the tray on the table.
I took a glance at the guest she smiled at me and I returned her smile then curtsied and left
I hoped the duke won't be like my father I shook my head He can't be he loved his first wife dearly so I had some hope to win his heart and I definitely will.
While thinking about that someone threw cold water at my face. "are you done dreaming now make me some tea with extra sugar oh and wash these clothes I need them by tomorrow" Eliza ordered and left the kitchen. Now I really want to leave this home for good Im tired. I picked up the dirty clothes and placed them in a bucket to wash later.
I went to the kitchen to make tea and took it for Eliza, I saw her talking happily to the guest. I gave her the tea and was about to leave right then " hey listen we are leaving for a evening walk clean up the mess and make dinner." said Jean and I nodded.
I heard the door closing softly, I sighed then started washing the clothes. Suddenly someone grabbed me from behind I freaked out and looked back it was James. I jerked away from his grasp.
I was sweating "when did you come?" I asked in fear. He was standing with a smirk on his face, he was taller and stronger than me I silently prayed for someone to come and save me.
I grabbed my wrist tightly in his grip, I tried to remove my hand but was no use. He brought his face near mine and said " does not matter why don't we have fun tonight we both are alone Im very hungry" he said while looking at my cleavage that was showing .
I looked away in disgust, he tuned my mouth to his forcibly and captured my lips gave a rough kiss, he tried to enter in my mouth but I didn't let.
I kicked his leg, he hissed in pain and backed away, I ran away from the washroom and head towards the living room. Being my feet slippery, I tripped and fell on the ground. To my horror he came in my vision and slapped hard across my face?" Bitch , you are mine tonight." with that he kissed me again, slipped his hand under my gown and started touching my breasts so hard that they hurt. I moaned in pain" Please let me go show some mercy" I cried and pleaded but no use.
The beast slapped me again, the corner of mouth was bleeding. He kissed my face my neck and my private parts, I felt vulnerable.
He bit my neck, I screamed in pain" please stooooop please James " I pleaded my eyes were swollen.
He slowly started to lift my skirt, I shut my eyes hard waiting for worst....
