Chapter 90: Busted
Lilac
I was nervous as hell on the way back to the palace, cause I just had a feeling something was gonna go wrong. It was a niggling feeling that had settled in my stomach since the moment that snake spy had said to tell the king that u was the one she wanted, for whatever weird reasons.
It was awkward in the ride back, cause I was made to seat beside Damien, and he made me so nervous, compared to the fact that I was now so afraid that they’d kill md after being done with me. I had hoped they’d let me live if I keep acting like I’m actively putting efforts into all their orders, when I’m just acting like my normal self around Sloan. Damien had also mentioned wanting to have sex with me, so I had a feeling he might wanna get that in exchange for saving me today, which was something that was already making me so uncomfortable.
As soon as we arrived at the palace and were dismissed, I quickly fled to my room, but bells fell into my side, asking me if I enjoyed today.
The princess ended uo sharing to the rest of the slaves, to make it seem like she did plan to give everyone each a present. I was so annoyed that everyone believes she’s king hearted when she’s literally a fake!
"I’m tired and would like to have an early night." I tell Belle when she began to go on a long rant of how amazing the princess is and how she was looking forward to working around her even more. If only she knew how that same person tried to kill me today.
"Oh, alright then. Have a nice night then, and don’t forget to use your drugs first." She called as she waved me off, reminding me of the fact that I was burning up a little. Having an open injury then being thrown into water and almost being allowed to drown would do that to a person.
As soon as I got into my room, I was glad that it was completely empty. As soon as I flopped into my bed, the door was opening and Jake was coming in, a grin on his fsce as he walked over to me and touched my head, a frown settling across his face.
"You’re burning up. I knew they were gonna stress you out today, selfish fucks couldn’t let you get a single day of break!" He bit out through gritted teeth while I chuckled a little because if only he knew that I wasn’t burning up cause I was worked to the bones and for a completely different reasons.
But then I couldn’t tell him that, cause that would mean me exposing more than I’m supposed to, which could definitely put my life in danger if discovered.
In that same moment, a knock sounded on the door and when Jake went to get it, my heart dropped in my stomach when it turned out to be Damien.
Ugh.
