35 That Evil Sister

It took Karl a few seconds to process what she said.

Confession?

Is it as he feared?

But he can't jump into conclusions. He opened the door wider and he walked towards his study.

Emerald followed after she shut the door. There's a small voice telling her what she is about to do is wrong. But her stubborn head wouldn't listen. Her heart is aching.

What can Kristine do that she can't? He desired her! She is close to having his heart! She would be introduced to Lady Franchesca at dinner that night!

Isn't that a step away to becoming his wife?

But that evil sister of hers grabbed her chance! Appearing all glorious before the Master, seducing him!

Bitterness and pain enveloped her heart. The tiny voice was pushed back to the deepest corners of her heart.

"Speak."

She knelt down on the floor. She has to earn his trust. She has to win him back!

"Master, it is my family who had paved the way." She spoke softly. She dare not blurt it all out or he would just implicate her. She has to make him believe she is honest.

"Your family?" He asked dangerously. He has to know which of her family did it.

"All of them." She whispered.

Suddenly something hit the walls of the study hard and she yellep in shock! She bowed her head to the floor.

This master in not gentle, didn't she nicknamed him "devil" before? He wouldn't let her touch him, he'll leave the room coldly after the deed. He'd send her back to her place or call her from wherever if he want to f*ck.

Sometimes it was him who would appear in her bedroom and wake her up, banging her senseless. If he hadn't pleasured her in return she would have killed herself in her lowest moment.

But she fell for him. And even if he hurts her, she'll take it anytime just so she won't lose him.

"Your mother's death?" He seethed.

"Mother was ill for real. But her days were prolonged until that night to create them an opening."

"Prolonged? Whose wizard was it?" Though they cannot prevent death, or even bring a life back, wizards are doctors by nature. They can ease ones suffering to let them pass without pain, and as such make a dying person earn a few more days.

"I do not know his name."

Karl held her neck painfully making her look up to him. Tears fell on her face. His eyes are smoking white, his body emitting a dangerous energy.

"Master--"

"Who is he?!!"

"No one among us knew--" Her body thrown across the floor, her back hit something hard and she screamed in pain.

"Only Kristine knew him!" She spat the words, there was blood in her mouth. Before she knew it her feet is up from the floor and he was holding her neck. She grasped his arms as she fight for her breath.

"She knew?" He wasn't sure if he even uttered the words. He wasn't even waiting for her answer.

His heart shattered into tiny million pieces. He thought she liked him, just as he does. She surrendered her body to him as he made love to her. He was never gentle to any other woman, yet he held her like the most precious flower in the world.

He thought he saw love in her eyes.

And yet she was only out to lure him away? So that a certain prophecy maybe fulfilled? She has not desired to be with him instead she wanted freedom!

Emerald dropped on the floor when she thought she had taken her last breath.

"Master--"

Karl's right hand landed on her face hard. He did not know why he did it. Anger? He gave her another slap. As if he wanted to pour out all his pain by hurting the woman in front of him.

Because he knew, he can never hit the one back home.

Emerald look up at him, her tears continue to fall making her vision blurry. The man is emitting white electric waves around his body.

Yes! Be angry at her! She betrayed you!

While I'm here at your feet waiting, loving you.

He dragged her to his bedroom upstairs and was thrown in the bed. Four chains appeared from the corners imprisoning her arms and legs widespread.

"What made you come here?"

His voice as cold as the snow in the arctic. He came close and tore her clothes embarassing her.

'I don't care!' Her heart screamed at her! 'I want him even in this way!'

'He can bang me senseless and I won't care! As long as it's me!'

She sobbed and sobbed until he held her jaw forcing her to look in him.

"Because I'm yours. My loyalty, my body and heart are all yours, Master."
