Jen washed the pile of clothes and she was exhausted before she could finish, this was worst than she expected, how could valet do this to her, it would be preferable if he ignored her but this work was damn much.
She aspired to get it done quickly and when she finished spreading the clothes on the line, Emily called her again to get the dishes washed, "What kind of life is this, I wished I died with granny" Jen mummured, she was so tired and she still hasn't ate anything even if it was noon.
She strode into the grand hall to the kitchen but when she passed the dining room, she stepped backwards and jealousy hit her when she saw valet and Fiona eating together, Jen thought Fiona never liked valet so why was she eating with him, peacefully also.
She creased her forehead as she bit her lips hard, she really wanted to create a commotion so they would stop eating together, she walked backwards as she hit the vase with her hands and it shattered on the ground. She hastily bent down to pick it and she purposely cut her finger with it.
"Ahh" She yelled and valet rushed to her immediately as he held her hand,
"Let me see, you got hurt?" He asked as he lifted her in his arms to his room. He searched for the first aid kit and helped her treat her wound.
Jen was smiling in her mind, although it was painful her face didn't show a painful expression but a happy expression, valet glanced at her and he caught her smiling. 'Valet why do you keep falling for her, she is pretending' he thought as he dropped her hand.
"Are you done with your work?" He asked coldly and she lifted her gaze to meet his, she shook her head as she slowly stood up without thinking, her lips landed on his as she kissed him hungrily, like she was starving for the taste of his mouth. Valet did his best to push her back but it seems she has so much strength and he couldn't get away from her hold.
Jen stopped kissing him when she heard the door open, it was Fiona. "Jen are you alright?" Fiona asked as she inspected her body, she held her arm gently but when Jen recollected the moments Fiona and valet had in the dining room, she became furious as she yanked her arm away aggressively almost pushing Fiona away.
Fiona looked stunned, Jen never reacted this way when did she become so violent. Fiona liked Jen because she was soft, gentle and genial but right now, her character seemed to have changed for the obvious reasons. Was Jen thinking she liked valet, she never liked him and never would.
Jen strode to the kitchen as she began to wash the dishes, she raised her head to see valet and Fiona going out and anger spread like wildfire in her body, smashing the plates on the ground and valet turned to look back again. He hurried to the kitchen to find her fuming with rage.
"Did you break it intentionally?" He asked, what was happening to her lately, she was too brave for her own good, does she think he can't do anything to her.
She went closer to him, her face an inch apart from his face, "And so what?" She asked and valet could say that she was angry but for what?
"Did you think you won't pay for sabotaging the castle's property?" He asked her and she scoffed.
"Since you are my husband, you'll pay for it all" She said as she walked out of his sight. Valet was so surprised, when did she turn to the domineering wife. What happened to her?, or could it be that she was jealous of Fiona, but he didn't like Fiona, he only loved her but he had to punish her for playing with him. His heart was refraining from hurting her than he already did.
Jen sat on the stair with her legs close to her chest and her arms wrapped around it. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice valet who was staring at her, "Jen are you alright?" Valet asked, she glared at him before walking away but he grabbed her arm.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked carefully but she didn't answer him as she shot him a hard glare.
"Are you asking me that silly question?, what would a wife think seeing her husband with another man walking hand in hand?" She asked instead and valet furrowed his eyebrows.
"Remember Jen, you are the cause of everything" he reminded, if she hadn't lied and deceived him they would have been the loving couple they were.
"Oh really, so I get all the punishment and you give her nothing, it's she and her father who forced me into marrying you and you still punished me not her?" She asked and valet face turned hard, how dare she blame him, wasn't she the one that carried out their plan, wasn't she the one that kept lying to him.
"You shouldn't blame her, you lied to me" he said angrily and Jen stared at him annoyed than before.
"Yes I won't, I blame myself for falling into her trap" Jen said with her eyes glistening with tears, not wanting to see him anymore, she hastily ran away.
Valet called for her but she didn't listen to him, she ran away crying and he went after her afraid that she might do something stupid, but he lost her and his heart was thumping in fear, he would blame himself if she did anything stupid to herself, she was right, he shouldn't have punished her but he couldn't refrain himself, he would feel somehow if he didn't punish someone who deceived and lied to him.
He came across Fiona and he asked, " Have you seen Jen?"
"No I haven't, I was looking for her but I couldn't find her" she replied, she saw something on his cheek and she wanted to wipe it off with her hands but he held her hands high in the air.
"What are you doing?" He inquired,
"There's something on your cheek" she answered and he touched his cheek but found nothing.
"The left cheek" she said and he touched it but found nothing.
"Aye, let me just help you" she said as she cleaned his cheeks with her hand, the maids saw them in an intimate position and they started whispering among themselves.
"Thanks" valet said as he walked away.
