Their Princess

Chapter 73

There are days when we second guess our decisions, days when we regret ever making them, and days when we want to go back in time to stop ourselves from making them.

Today is one of those days. I don't know what came over me or what I was even thinking about when I chose to come out of my room. Alone. Daddy will be so mad at me. I can only imagine what he will say when he figures out what I have done.

I whimper in the small closet where I'm hiding right now. What have I gotten myself into?

I see Feya and her mother opening the door for someone. The figure moves to the center of the room, eyeing everything. 

Does she know I'm hiding here? Please, Goddess, no. Save me.

I should have asked Daddy to take me to the bathroom instead of getting out myself. And I definitely shouldn't have followed Feya in her room. 

Curiosity is definitely going to get me killed today. Daddy, I'm sorry.

“ You don't know how much I paid to get this room vacant by its previous owners. And trust me when I say payment wasn't made in cash.” The lady huffs and turns to face Feya and Fawx.

Dom lady?

What is she doing here? And how does she know Feya and her mother?

“ Thank you, Daedra. It was getting really loud out there.” Fawx exclaims.

“ I do not need your gratitude. I didn't come here to help you or anything. I wanted to talk to Feya.” Dom lady goes to sit on the bed, waiting for Feya to come forward.

“ Yes, Madam?” I hear Feya saying. Couldn't she be more loud? I have to stop my breathing to hear her properly, and trust me, there ain't enough in this closet.

“ Feya, my darling. How have you been?” Dom lady says in such a cheerful voice that a shiver runs in my body. 

“ I'm doing good, Madam. Thank you for asking.”

“ Hmm. That's good. I believe I trusted you with the most important task, darling?”

“ Yes.”

“ And how's it going?” 

“ Everything's in place. I'm doing my best. They are always focused on Raelynn, but I'm still trying to become part of their routine as you asked me to. Raelynn doesn't like me a lot. We rarely meet, but we are planning on getting on her good side.”

What?

“ Is that true, Fawx?”

“ Yes. I have a plan in mind to get that little girl to invite Feya to the castle more often.”

“ Interesting. But why do I feel like Feya is lying.” Daedra crosses her legs elegantly.

“ I'm not. I'm doing…..” 

Smack!

What the heck? Did she really…..?

I see Feya holding her right cheek, her body shaking with obvious fear.

Dom lady grabs Feya by her shirt to bring her closer. “ What did I tell you, Feya? Never lie to me. I do not like liars.”

Goddess, she is practically snarling on Feya's face. I cover my mouth so that no voice leaves my mouth.

“ I'm….. I'm….sssooorr……yyyy.” Feya stutters, but no tears come out of her eyes. Does this happen often? And why is her mother not doing anything? 

“ I do not need your apology, Feya. I trusted you with a task, but you betrayed me! I asked you to stay focused on the Dawn brothers. Didn't I? Then why were you drooling over their commander, huh?” She screams on her face, shaking her body with her arm.

“ I…. How?”

“ How do I know? Really darling, did you think you could hide it from me? But if you are so curious, then listen. Your mother told me you were eyeing the Commander and were not focused on the task given.”

“ Now tell me. Why did you do that?” Her eyes are so heated that I'm afraid Feya will get burnt. 

“ I… The Dawn brothers don't like me.” Her voice is so small that I can barely hear anything.

“ I know that. That's why I told you to win that girl first. Brothers will start to trust you automatically.”

“ Yes. I tried, and then I thought maybe I could win, Mr. Ronan. He was their friend. So….”

“ Ronan is just a Commander. He follows orders. If I wanted you to get me information on the military, I would have asked you to go for Ronan. But I wanted you in that castle so that our entry can become easy. You ruined almost everything.”

“ We all are trying here. But you had to go and use your own mind. They are already suspicious of Dacotah, and now they are after me. It won't take long before they arrest us. You have disappointed me, Feya.”

“ I'm sorry.” Feya hangs her head in shame.

“ I'm going to make sure you don't repeat it ever again. Lie face down on my lap.”

Feya does as Dom lady asks and then begins the thirty minute in hell show. In those thirty minutes, Feya cries, screams, tries to get away from Dom lady's hand, but to no avail, she is released.

Her bottom is red to the point that blood starts to leak. I force my eyes away from the scene and try not to throw up. Count to ten, Raelynn. It's okay. Daddy will be here soon. He has to be looking for you. 

Eli is a light sleeper just like Daddy. He will know. Rey will carry you out of here. Relax.

When the torture finally comes to an end, Dom Lady unbutton her shirt and lets Feya suck her nipples.

Is that some kind of after care? And how is Feya still so comfortable around this vile woman?

“ This is your last chance, Feya. Do not make any mistake.”

After ten minutes, the Dom lady leaves, and Fawx carries her daughter to the bathroom. Giving me the perfect opportunity to get out of this hell hole.

“ Daddy!” I scream when I see him in the hallway, looking beyond worried.

“ Princess, where have you been?!! We have been looking for you. Where did you go?” I try to catch my breath and bury my face in his neck.

“ Why are you shivering, baby? Are you cold? Let's get you inside.” Silent tears continue to flow from my eyes as Daddy, Rey, and Eli ask me multiple questions. 

But no words leave my mouth. I don't think I'm traumatized or anything. I just need some time to process everything that conspired a few minutes ago. Is that trauma? I don't know. I should have opted for psychology. I realize that now.

Then I remember the most important thing that led me to Feya's room.

“ Daddy! Bathroom. Now!”
