Darkened Door

I opened my eyes to find some maids gathered round my bed-- strange maids and they all had their heads bowed.

"What's going on here?" I asked as I sat up straight.

"We are going to a new place." I heard Ricardo's voice.

He stood against my vanity table, with his hands folded against his chest as He stared with a smile.

"Does that give you the right to bring in strange people into my room?" I asked standing up as my night gown drops at full length.

"Privacy." He yelled and all of them scurried out.

"Why didn't you wait till I was dressed?" I question annoyed that he came very early in the morning just to go out with me.

"I love to watch you sleep." He smirked as he start to come close to me.

My heart beat picked up for fear of what he might do as last time's event flashed through my head.

"Stay back." I tried to sound bold and convincing but I failed miserably at it.

"Relax Dear, I'm not that desperate to have a taste of what this marriage has installed for me." He whispered once he got close to me and his hand slipped through my gown stopping at mid-thigh.

I shifted slightly so his hand will fall but to my utmost surprise, he pulled me closer and pressed his lips to mine. I tried to push him away but he just seems stronger and I'm no match for his strength in any way.

"Ricardo." I heard my Father's voice as I suddenly feel my lungs function again.

"All hails the king." Ricardo mocked as I saw my Father look at me with sadness.

"I want to be alone." I spoke up as my Ricardo yanked me by my Wrist and using his tongue, he licked my earlobe.

He was testing my Father.

"Guards." My father yelled as some men suddenly rushed into my room.

"Nah-uh, unless you want me to tell your gorgeous daughter the agreement between our families." Ricardo smirked as he looked into my Dad's eyes daringly.

The next thing I witnessed was my Father telling the guards to back down and dismiss. I stood dumbfounded as I tried to look for excuses as to why my Father didn't have a say in this.

"Father?" I whispered as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I'm sorry my dear child." He said in a low voice as he turned around and left.

"You See, I own you now." Ricardo smirked as his eyes darkened.

is there ever a time when he down at have lust in his eyes? Disgusting!

I looked away as I pitied my own fate. "where are we headed for?"

"Paris, My place." He smiled genuinely this time.

With the way his expression suddenly changed, I think he likes Paris alot.

"Paris?"

"Oh yes! Paris my dearest."

"I'm not going!" I announced.

"Well, as you can see, you seem to have no choice." He snickered.

"My father will stop you." I sneered.

He went into a spree of laughter as I watched in confusion. "Your father?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Your old man is as helpless as you are-- left with no choice."

"What do you have against him?" I asked as I glared at him.

"A Promise." That was all he said and he left. Soon those maids that left before came rushing in as they help to wash my body and dress me up.

I was dressed in a light blue dress with a sweetheart neck, showing off little cleavage. The laces couldn't get tighter as my slim waist seems to stop my free flow of air.

It had designs knitted on it and it looked very pretty with the Fascinator hat that was carefully placed on my head.

After the girls were done helping me get dressed, Ricardo walked in and stood behind the chair I sat-- that was in front of my vanity mirror.

"I think my good deeds in my past life is being paid off with a beautiful bride." He smiled and kissed my cheeks-- making me close my eyes on discomfort.

"So you decided to be evil in your present life?" I questioned turning my neck slightly to face to him.

"Great humour Princess." He laughed-- making me roll my eyes.

"Thank you." I said-- The sarcasm in my words obvious.

"You are welcome, my love." He whispered stealing a kiss from me.

When will this guy stop being so touchy?

"The carriage is ready my prince." A guard said from the door making Ricardo pull back and stand straight.

"Shall we? My lady!" He said with his hands outstretched-- I placed mine and his wrapped round mine, taking me out the door into the hallway.

When we were about to leave, My Parents came to see me off but their usual happy face were gone, I even noticed my Father's eyes get teary. My mother refused to look at the carriage when we were about to leave and with the way her head was low, I knew she was crying.

Even though my parents never had my time and I still don't know why they let Ricardo take me like this-- I still loved them alot and leaving them was like leaving a part of my hear behind.

I knew my parents had my best wishes in mind and if they let Ricardo take me away, there must be a strong reason behind it and that reason-- I am going to unveil. I'm going to make sure my Father gets back his bravery and my Mother gets back her pride.

Every mother's pride is her child and my mother just lost hers because both my parents decided to keep me in the dark. I don't know what fate has installed for me in the new place I'm going to but I wished it would make my mission to get answers easier and faster.

But in all this Chaos, I wondered where the person who had my heart was-- Where did Kieran go?.
