He took my freedom.
My laughter.
My joy.
And the old she.
He took it all.
SNEAK PEAK:
"I'll like to be alone." I said, wanting space.
They bowed and left my room, I looked around my bedroom almost everything was covered in gold it was much larger than my old bedroom, and more space. I looked over at the queen sized bed that was presented in front of me, I ran my finger tips over the soft blanket. This perfect life wasn't meant for me.
I heard a knock and dealing with my attitude, I screamed at the person that was on the opposite side of the door "I told you I would like to be alone!" The door swung open revealing the Emperor's angry face, his jaw was clenched tightly, as his beautiful green eyes pierced through my soul. "Who are you talking to in that tone? your under my roof and I don't appreciate your tone" He walked towards me and grabbed my throat, forcing me to look up at him. I could feel my heart beating again, "I.." is all I said softly, why am I being like this.. just obeying him rightfully. He smirked and said "Are you afraid of me, little dove?" I inched closer to my face, I could now feel his breathing on my cheek, I quickly shook my head quickly "of course not, why would I be afraid of my husband?"
He shrugged "because I can have you executed right now, Khalilah" I looked at him "I'm not afraid of a little challenge."
