Chapter 96
“I'm sorry, your grace, | thought that we were soulmates, i shouldn't have spoken to the king like that, it is
completely my mistake!” With my sarcastic attitude on full display, | spoke to the king, my words made his entire
family gasp, and a small amused scoff cfrom Carlos. It was also that attitude that landedmy first slap in
two weeks, the king never did hold back when it cto force and I felt blood quickly trickle from my now
bleeding lip, I cupped my palm underneath and watched my skin get tainted by the red substance.
“You ungrateful bitch!” The last the calledthat he dragged up to his room and defiledin front of his
ex beta. Unconsciously | cringed and waited for an onslaught of punches or slaps. Non chowever and
Instead my arm was grabbed roughly as 1 was dragged out of my seat and out of
the room.
Flashes of his delilement shot through my mind and | swallowed thickly as I quickly allowed fear to cloud me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClearly the king hadn't the tor patience today for my attitude as he marchedstraight down the corridor
and down the stairs to the main entrance, he hauledout of the double doors and draggeddown the main
steps of the palace, where a long shiny black limousine stood. The sone that broughtto this ill fated life.
My legs got pulled along until I landed right next to the vehicle.
“Get in and stay seated... | deal with you when we are on the road!”
King josh opened the door and basically threw my bound form in, I hit the floor of the limo with a hard thump and
painfully landed on the chains connecting my limbs. A small grunt leftas | moved myself awkwardly to sit on
the floor while King Josh slammed the door shut and clicked the locks, before marching away.
| rolled my pants leg up slightly and winced as a large red indent of the chains rested diagonally across my left
shin. That would undoubtedly bruise, not that it made much of a difference to me.
I sighed and managed to stand enough so that I could actually get my ass on a seat instead of being sprawled
out on the floor. Once seated 1 began relishing in the peace and quiet the long car gave me.
It must have been about 20 minutes before the sweat started to pour off me, it was a cloudy day, and in all
honesty it looked like it would soon rain, but it was stuffy, and somewhat warm. Being locked in a vehicle without
a window cracked open was like being in a sauna, still it was quiet and | was in no rush for the king to return.
Another 10 minutes went by before the doors were unlocked and in turn opened, revealing the three men whom
1 did not want to be trapped with. Without hesitation the king grabbed my arm and threwonto the floor,
again my restraints made the landing less than smooth and | winced in pain as both my ankle cuffs painfully dug
into my bone, once again a bruise will most likely be left.
“You are lesser than everyone here. You'll remain on the floor, where you belong.” The king really wasn’t in the
mood for any of my usual quirks today, not that he ever was mind you. “Let's go, we're wasting tnow.
| want to get there by breakfast”
The limousines wheels sounded on the gravel below us and | looked up at the king who's face held a permanent
scowl.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Can we crack a window at least?” | asked nervously as | looked at the raging man.
“She does look hot Josh!” Oliver was quick to cto my aid, as he placed his hand atop my head. “Goddess,
how long has she been in here?” The king shrugged and pulled out a single bottle of water, he loosened the lid
and held it out forto take, which I did and immediately began to greedily drink

“I don’t know... an hour, just under maybe.” Well it didn’t feel like it had been that long. No wonder | was thirsty
and sweating as much as | was. He spoke as if it wasn’t a big deal, that leavingfor an hour was the sas
leavingfor a few minutes.
All | knew for certain though, was that this journey was going to be long, much longer than when I first arrived.
At least this t| would be conscious for the entirety of it.
