"You really are on a mission. I'm sure your stupid father put you up to this. Don't you have shame?" Mrs Callamore yelled, throwing me outside under the scorching sun
"What have I done wrong please?" I knelt down, looking at Vivian and Mrs Callamore.
"Oh stop acting like you didn't have sex with my fiancé" Vivian growled. "Mother!" She cried out dramatically.
"Shhhh. I'm here" Mrs Callamore patted Vivian on her back. "Have you seen what you've caused?"
"I didn't sleep with the young master" I shook my head. Why would the young master even want to sleep with someone like me.
"Stop denying! You came out with sex hair." Vivian yelled
"Sex hair? I.. I..."
"Looking for a new lie?" Mrs Callamore laughed darkly. I could see where Romano got the evil trait from. They look alike now and it was making me so scared.
Men can have respect for women but women will gladly ruin women and I know for a fact that this woman hates my guts.
"I didn't sleep with your son" I said firmly, this time.
"Then what were you doing in his room as early as 6am?" Vivian asked, charging at me.
If only she knew I went there earlier than that. You mean, we stayed together in a room for more than an hour and didn't kill ourselves? Oh wow!
"Answer her!" Mrs Callamore, held my chin, piercing her manicured nails into my chin
"You're hurting me" I held her hand.
"You have the guts to complain" Her hand landed on my cheek, the impact causing my face to move sideways. The corner of my eyes brimmed with tears.
Don't. Fall. Please.
"I didn't do anything with young master." I gritted, avoiding eye contact with any of them. "You should learn to trust your fiancé and son. Are you trying to accuse him of infidelity? For a mere commoner?"
I could see Mrs Callamore from the corner of my eyes look at Vivian. I didn't understand what they were up to but I know that I touched something in her.
"Men will always be men. Besides, didn't your mother teach not to force yourself on men that are above your class? Didn't your worthless mother teach you that?" Mrs Callamore yelled at my face
Oh no, she didn't
"With due respect, keep my mother's name out of your mouth" I warned through gritted teeth
"Or what? You'll slap me?" She asked, laughing hysterically. "She's warning me" She said to Vivian, laughing.
"Romano must hear that you insulted his mother" Vivian said immediately.
Insulted his mother?
Why do I even reply these people sometimes. I just end up landing myself in deep shit everytime.
"You know I didn't insult her" I cried out. "Why are you doing this to me, Vivian?" My voice broke as I asked her that question. "You used to be my go-to person" I said sadly, looking at her. A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes but it was quickly brushed off and her eyes were cold again.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Vivian
frowned, stepping back.
"What good will my response do? Will you kill me if I admit to having sexual intercourse with the young don?" I yelled out frustratedly
"You're marked to be his slave! Not his whore." Mrs Callamore yelled back at me, poking me. She kicked me, marching me to the hot ground. "That's where you belong and make sure you always stay there! On the dirty ground" She screamed
"What's going on here?" Romano yelled. I was so used to his voice that I didn't need to look up to know it was him. The minute I heard his voice, I broke down in tears.
It was all his fault. If only he had given me time to work my ass off and pay him his money.
Why? Why did you have to mark me, Romano!
"I was just showing her where she belongs" Mrs Callamore said, lifting her feet off my body.
"What's this about, Mother?" He asked again.
"What were you doing with this trash by 6am yesterday?" Mrs Callamore confronted her son.
"That's none of your business. Is that why you brought her out here? Under this hot sun?" He said, the tone of his voice sounding dangerous.
"Romano..."
"Stay where you fucking are, Tonia" He sneered.
I couldn't see the drama unfold but could only hear their conversation because I was facing the ground. I was now sniffing and taking in deep breaths to calm my nerves.
"I..."
"I marked her! I control her and I own her!" He barked. "Nobody touches her without my permission!" He warned, sending chills down my spine. The way he claimed me sparked something new in my body.
Something dangerous yet sweet.
"Romano..."
"Have I made myself clear, mother?" He interrupted his mother. I wish I could see the look on their faces.
"She insulted mother!" Vivian yelled, making me raise my head up immediately.
"I... I didn't" I quickly countered.
"Shut up and stay down there!" He yelled at me. "Run it by me. She's mine to handle and I know how to punish her. Understood?" He said to Vivian.
"What has come over you? So you want me to sit and watch her insult me?" Mrs Callamore said.
"I'm sure I've made my point. As for you, Tonia or whatever your name is, I don't care. I want you out of my house soon. You've overstayed your welcome." He warned, making me discreetly smile.
"You can't do that, Romano. She's your Fianceé!" His mother yelled.
"Mother!" He yelled authoritatively. "Get up, Jadelyn" He said calmly.
Jadelyn. That's me!
He wants me to stand up.
"I.. I should.."
"Up." He held out his hand for me to take. I looked at it skeptically then looked at his mother and Vivian who were physically boiling with anger.
"Thank you, master" I said, taking his hand. I didn't want to keep him hanging and attract punishment to myself.
"You're too fucking soft. You're bleeding" He growled, looking at my knee. On instinct, I quickly looked down, the sting now biting me.
"I'm fine" I said quickly, dragging down my gown.
"What were you asked?" He asked me
"Huh?" I raised my eyebrow at him in confusion
"You've slept with her right? That's why you care about her" Mrs Callamore confronted her son.
Care? Pfft
"I don't fucking care about her. Hell, I can't even stand her" He groaned. "But one thing is certain, she is mine and only I need to bruise her up like this"
"I didn't do anything with -"
"Jadelyn, shut up." He warned me. "Mother, excuse us" He held my forearm, dragging me inside.
"Romano!"
"What, mother" He halted, turning to face her.
"She's a slave and that's the reason you have her, you know right?"
"She can also be a sex slave mother and I get to choose that." He said, before dragging me away.
Why did I never think of that?
Sex slave still falls under the slave category
What if he turns me into that some day?
No. That's not going to happen
Right?
