Flash marriage
"What is such a person doing in a place like this?" "OMG! Do you think he is dead? Should we call The City Affair?” “I just saw a twitch in his brow!"I winced when the last lady screeched before forcing my eyes open. “Oh my God! He is alive!" “Stay back! I am not sure he is sane." I blinked and stared back at the bright sky. What was I doing awake by this time of the day and why was I sleeping outside? I struggled to sit up but winced when a sharp pain shot up through my left leg. I felt my head spin as I struggled to understand my environment and the strange faces staring back at me. I forced myself to sit up and a wooden cane rolled off my body to the floor. Instinctively, my hand reached out to it and I grabbed it before supporting myself up. I looked around and tried opening my mouth to talk when the people around me started to disperse till I was left alone.“Hey you!" “The young man with a cane!" I furrowed my brow and narrowed my eyes at the middle aged couple marc
Divorce
She had her eyes pinned to the floor and couldn't bear to look at me. I couldn't bear to look at myself either. My jaw tightened as I watched fat tears roll down her cheeks.“What nonsense." Her father huffed. “Wipe those crocodile tears before I do them for you!" Her mother yelled.“Stop it!" I interrupted, feeling the veins in my neck pop up as I stomped my cane on the ground. Out of breath, I hobbled towards her tiny frame but stopped in my tracks when she took a step back from me.“What do you think you are doing?" I snapped my head towards her father's red face. He had his hands on his waist as he glared down at her. “Go closer and give him a hug, he is your husband to be." Her mother snarled.I looked back at the lady who still refused to meet my eyes and began to shake my head slowly. No, I can't do this.I am above this. “No!" I let the already squeezed envelope drop from my hand. For the first time since I saw her, she snapped her head up to meet my eyes. “I won't be
A disabled beggar
I stood uncomfortably, shaking with restrained anger as I watched the scene unfold.Tessa had led me into their lowly mansion after staring speechlessly at me for a few minutes in front of the Marriage Bureau.She had made me stand in the corner of the sitting room and promise not to intervene no matter what happened. “Do you not have any bones in you!" Her supposed sister snapped, eyes wide as she palmed her forehead in fake frustration. “You good for nothing Human!" Her mother snarled, hitting Tessa with the silky material in her hand.I clenched my cane even tighter. “I am sorry! I am sorry! I didn't mean to…” "Oh shut up and get it down right!” I turned my face away from the trio and caught the eyes of the man leaning against the doorframe. Straightening, he walked towards me with eyes so dark that I felt my body begin to angle backwards in the bid to escape him. "Boy!” He boomed and from the corner of my eyes, I noticed the trio had stopped whatever they were doing. I cle
No Going Back
I loosened my hold on Tessa and she shoved me away only for me to turn and watch Conrad march into the hallway with his wife after hearing their daughter's cry.“What is it, Blair?" Her mother asked, the concern visible in her eyes.Tessa took three steps away from me, not daring to meet my eyes while I watched her intensely, waiting for her to spill the tea. "I caught them making out right here." Blair cried again and I sneered. "Oh my God!” Her mother shrieked, clapping a hand over her mouth. “What insolence." She proceeded to cast a dirty look at us. "Come with me boy.” Her father ordered and walked past us, down the hallway and into an open door by the right. Tessa hurried ahead, walking right behind him like I would eat her up if she was left with me.I started to move towards the door. "So disgusting." I stopped in my tracks after hearing Blair's comment."What, beggar? Want to hit me or something?" She provoked but I swallowed down the words hanging at the tip of my tong
I married him!
"OH NO!" Tessa screamed, her eyes wide with fear. “What have you done?" She shook, the tears finally falling from her eyes..I tipped my chin and stared down at the screaming woman who had fallen to the ground. “Emma! Emma! I am sorry." She rushed to her mother's side but got pushed off as the woman resumed crying. “Apologize to her quickly!" She hissed between her teeth, looking like she was about to open the ground and bury herself in. “No." I blurted.“What?" Her jaw dropped. My ears twitched and I picked up the sounds of running feet. She grabbed my hand, her face getting drained of color and she swallowed. “Please Draven. Apologize to her now. Please." She pleaded, her eyes getting covered in a thin sheen of tears again. Looking at her mother who was already on the floor, rolling like her life depended on it, Tessa bowed, her head almost touching her legs. “We are sorry, Emma." Her loud voice cracked.She tugged on my hand but I stood tall and refused to bow even when I
Entangled with a monster
"I'll divorce you if you as much as move!" I paused, the loud ringing in my ear reducing till I could hear the fast thumping of their hearts. I looked at her puffy red eyes and straightened my lips. She was stretched in-between two muscular men. “Fine." I let go of the governor's hand and watched him struggle to get away from me. “You can hit me." I said, letting my cane drop to the floor but held the edge of the table for support.“Who says we will hit you?" Dax asked arrogantly. My brows pinched. “We will lash you with a whip." He declared, spreading his hand wide apart and Emma cheered from where she sat. No, they can't do that to a man of my caliber.I moved to speak but Tessa shook her head at me, her pleading eyes made me swallow back my words. I allowed myself to be laid on the table after the books and papers were swept away. “Get the whip." Maximus ordered. I balled my fist and clenched my teeth. “Fifty lashes for hitting my in-law.” Dax declared. I shut my eyes
Awake and growing crazy
I have been locked in for two days, in pain and in great thirst. Today I had finally managed to fight off my thirst and sat up a little too weak when I got startled by the voice in my head. 'You did a great job, son.’ My reddened eyes bulged and I looked around. I was sure as hell I didn't imagine that voice. “What are you? Show yourself." I commanded in a cracked voice. ‘Fear not son. It is I, the djinn of your clan. I was sent to help you.’ I watched a smoky substance evaporate from my body before materializing into a shadowy being right in front of me.My jaw tensed at the realization. I know I should bow, but I was too angry to even look him directly in the face. “I did not want to do this.” ‘Aahh! You were led to the right place son. I can perceive that the royal jaded ring was somewhere around here a few years back.’Is he kidding me right now? Did he just say a few years back? I held my peace and watched him. ‘You did a good job.’“Get out." ‘I have…’"Leave. I do
You won't hurt me
I slammed the door shut and the main door burst open. “I am not taking my bath in there." “But there is nothing wrong with it." She argued meekly behind me. “I can't fit in there." I held my cane tight. Has she been bathing there all her life? Now I really wish I could snap the necks of those suckers. She sighed and I turned to look at her. Her shoulders had dropped and her head hung low. “I need to hurry back to complete the chores, the engagement party will start in an hour." “What engagement party?" “Blair's engagement party." She peeked up at me. My lips curled in distaste. “I'll find a way to sneak you into the visitor's bathroom but you have to hurry." She said with a sense of urgency. I nodded once at her and watched her pick up the bag and hurry out while I followed after her.In twenty minutes I was done with her standing watch as I changed into one of the nasty old clothes given to me. “Done." I called out from behind her and she turned to observe me before givi
Serve the guests
"How did you know? Who are you?” I demanded, yanking the annoying wire out of my ears. She straightened and looked me straight in the eye. "The djinn is also with you.” She stated and made a second bow. "You don't need to do anything, I and my girls will take it up from here.” She clapped and ladies dressed in maid uniforms filed in, each bowing their greetings to me as they proceeded to carry out their task."Who are you?” I asked her, walking briskly towards her. She squinted at the plate in her hand before turning to look at me. "I was sent.” Was the only response she gave to my question. 'You need to begin the search for the jaded ring.’ I hissed to shut him up, but he just continued to speak.'You need to do it now while they are all occupied.’ he persisted. I walked out of the kitchen, pretending to hobble as I leaned into my cane. Where should I go from here?” "Hey you, come here." Conrad called me from the corner. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. Why couldn'
Fate
"Mum!" The brat called and hurried past me towards the red faced middle aged woman by the door. “How dare you bump into the first lady? Are you blind?" He yelled at the old lady from earlier. As if that was not enough, he raised his hand and brought it down on her face making her head swing violently to the side. I held back a growl. How dare he hit a servant of the Royals? I found myself moving forward when a hand held me back. “Come with me." Conrad ordered and dragged me out of the sitting room, up the stairs and into another room.“Tessa?" I breathed the moment I saw her bent over Blair's legs buckling her shoes. She pursued her movement but got a knock on the head from Blair."Don't you dare try to ruin my party.” She ordered and I saw Tessa nod quickly. "Look here boy.” Conrad pulled me to face him.I frowned down at him. "You are nothing but a disabled beggar, living off my wealth so you must know your place.” He poked my chest. "After this party, you'll go back there
