Arielle could hear footsteps echoing throughout the halls of the palace. The panicked Duke Pellington pulled Arielle into one of the rooms.
He silenced Arielle's mouth which had been covered by a cloth, and it just made Arielle struggle to breathe even more. She squirmed, trying to fight back.
Her feet were kicking in the direction of Duke Pellington. The angry man pinned Arielle to the floor.
"Look what happened!" Duke Pellington hissed quietly. "Because of you acting like a prostitute, I lost everything!"
Arielle shook her head, trying to free herself from Pellington's grip.
"Listen to me, Mirabelle!" snapped Duke Pellington loudly.
Mirabelle? Arielle was not her mother! She kicked the man in the crotch with her knee and tried to stand up, but Duke Pellington grabbed Arielle's leg causing the girl to fall to the floor.
"Fuck. I'll have you here right now, Mirabelle! You will know that only I am worthy of you!"
