Chapter Three

"What do you want?" I asked while watching Genevieve get up from her chair like a cat, practically stalking me.

"Now that's not a very nice way to greet someone," she tsked while walking over and gripping onto my hair. "Especially not for a future king."

She then threw me down onto the ground, making me lose my balance and land onto my wrist in a bad way. Instant pain made me see stars but I swallowed down the scream in my throat. Ezra and Micah were watching me with disgust but seemed to brighten up when she walked over to them. One of her hands was running up and down both of their chests, making me want to vomit.

"I see you've met the boys."

Even though my wrist was throbbing, I slowly pushed myself up into a sitting position. "How do you know each other?"

"We've known each other since school. When Alexei forced me out of the castle, I happened to run into them again. Lucky for me they had training being security and also lucky for me the castle was looking for new bodyguards."

I watched her then give each of them a gross wet kiss, making me want to throw up. "Why are you doing this Genevieve?"

Her beady little eyes were then glaring at me. "Why? Because of you, my entire life ended. My life ended the day you fell out of that fucking tree and Alexei met you. Ever since then he's had his eyes on you and only you for some fucking reason. Even when I was pregnant and when we got married, he still wasn't happy. Do you know what he did when we got married? He never fucked me. He must've thought he was too good for me since you two had fucked. Oh don't give me those eyes; I knew you guys had slept together. Why else would he want nothing to do with me sexually? He used to be all over me, he did knock me up."

She was then stalking towards me again while saying, "Everything has always been about you since he met you. He even named that fucking hospital after your sister."

"Don't-"

"Don't what?" She asked while giving me a hard kick in the stomach. "Oh poor little orphan also lost his sister, cry me a fucking river. You have to know that absolutely no one wants you, right? Literally everyone around you has died, what do you think that means for you? Everyone wants to leave you so bad that they have to die in order to get rid of you. I mean personally I don't blame them since I'd have to do the same thing, you're so annoying."

Ezra and Micah were also starting to stalk closer to me, my fingers starting to shake. "You took away my life; I'm going to take away yours."

When I was being kicked again, my life flashed through my eyes. I would miss not getting married, starting a new life with Alexei. I'd miss seeing my kids and family every day, and hell even just walking around Gravensnod. I'd miss being down at the docks with Ari or playing with puppies. I'd never see Alexei become king, something I know he'd be amazing at. I guess the good thing about dying was that I knew I'd be able to see Louise again. Maybe dying wouldn't be so bad.

As I finally settled on the fact that I was going to die, I hardly felt the beatings anymore. They'd stop eventually and maybe I'd pass out before feeling a lot of the bad beatings. Hopefully by then the castle would realize that someone had taken me, and everyone else would stay safe. That's really the only thing I cared about anymore.

"Ow dude! What the fuck!" Ezra suddenly yelled, making me open my eyes.

He was holding his right shoulder as an unknown woman was standing in the doorway, gun in hand. How long had she been there and also where did she come from? She also looked vaguely familiar but my eyes were getting too swollen to hardly see.
