Chapter 3
"Watch what you say before I throw you into the wine cellar," Graham warned, swiftly putting himself between Rose and Silvia. He’d been longing to see her since she left last night.
"Master Graham," Silvia greeted him, panicking internally when she saw how angry he looked, "We were only playing-"
"Did I say that you could speak?" He questioned her while his gaze remained focused on Rose. Last night, he wanted to keep her around a little longer, but his quest ruined it.
Silvia bit her lips and lowered her head. He was angry.
Rose flinched when Graham touched her hair. She turned her face away when he tried to touch her cheek.
Internally, Silvia was livid. Graham didn’t punish Rose for her behaviour! If it had been anyone else, things would have been different. Fuelled by jealousy, Silvia wanted to ruin Rose. She wondered who she should send to Rose’s room tonight.
Graham smiled, entertained by Rose’s usual defiance. She was a lot more obedient now than years ago. Soon, she will grow accustomed to his touch. He was in no rush to sleep with her when he enjoyed their little game.
Rose was his precious flower in this dirty brothel, and no one can take her away from him.
"Shouldn’t you be preparing for your dance tonight?" Graham questioned, lazily turning to Silvia.
She earned the brothel a lot of money and was mostly obedient. But she just can’t keep her hands off Rose.
"Go now or I’ll send those cheap bastards your way. All of you," He warned all the other women who lingered around. They didn’t have time to stand around and chat like this. They had work to do.
