Inside the walls 2

Jon who didn't hear Ronan's voice because of the loud music and crowd around them didn't know why Olivia was overcame with fear because he was sure he didn't do anything to scare her. She stood up and he tried to help her up when Ronan angrily shove his hand away from Olivia's own and punched him in face .

Jon stumbled and fell,he staggered and tried to stand up. He used the back of his palm to wipe the side of his mouth that was stained with blood.

" What do you think you are doing? Huh." He towered over her and Olivia shivered in fear.

" I made myself abundantly clear that I do not want you near those filths.what did I ----." Jon laughed from where he was and began." Who the fuck are you calling filth? Who the hell are?" Ronan who was already pissed off turned, but he didn't want to shed any blood turned and said.

" If you know what's good for you, leave now!!!" He glared at him and turned to face Olivia who was shaken.

Leave!! How could he leave when he was so close,this close and all is efforts and hardwork were about to pay off, all he needed was to walk her to an isolated corner and the job was done. He knew she was worth more that two hundred gold coins. He had seen her in the village few days ago he was so close at napping her when some group of village guards passed and before he knew it, he lost her. It pained him knowing how much money he lost and when another opportunity presented itself,this annoying bastard came to spoil it . The bitch over there was a big fish he knew how much she would worth, but no, some one was always there to spoil it. He has been running out of luck lately and it hasn't been this bad for a long time.Then Jon grapped Ronan's jerkins, Ronan pushed him away and he came back but in the process Ronan saw the barged that belonged to the slavetraders in his inner jacket. Ronan launched at Jon and punched him till he was satisfied.

Meanwhile Olivia was petrified, she stayed clued to the wall, and continued to witness the horror happening in front of her.She pleaded on behalf of Jon but it turned into deaf ears.

Ronan stood up and looked at the measly peasant in front of him. He ordered the guards to hold him down. Then Jon started again.

" Oh yes I know you now, you are that good for nothing ruthless murderer who thinks he can do whatever he wants and no one can question him huh. Am not afraid of you. You can't do anything to me. You should go fuck yourself."

Out of anger Ronan went to pick the axe that was made as an adornment on the wall. He walked back to were Jon was made to knee. He stood in front of him and said. " Tell me what I could do to you? "

Ronan asked trying to control his anger." Go to hell. Fuck you" Jon said and spat at Ronan.

Ronan wipped his face and said. "You sure about it," he said as he stood in his front.

He dragged him from the guards and placed his head on the table. Eveyone watched what was about to happen, nobody dared to stop him, that'sonly if they wanted to end up like him. All they did was to only watch.

The moment Jon head hit the table forcefully he groaned and Ronan raising the axe making sure Olivia saw everything, he exclaimed " meet you in hell bastard." The next thing the axe had landed on his neck and Jon's head rolled on the floor and blood gushed out of his neck and splatter on the table staining Ronan's jacket . A loud gasp was heard from everyone who was present there in the hall. He threw the axe down and spat on floor where Jon head laid. Those who stayed on his path scattered and made way for him. Fearing what the ruthless warlord would do to them if he was angered the more. He grapped Olivia by her hand and dragged her out of the hall.

Niall who had heard the commotion at the other end of the hall had made his way there when he saw Ronan with the axe about to behead the deceased but before he could do anything the man had loss his head. He watched Ronan dragging the girl away. He shook his head. Who would have thought such a pleasant celebration which started with peace and tranquility would end up gruesomely.

Ronan kept on dragging Olivia as they maneuver their way through the passages that led to his quarters. When he got there he opened the door and walked straight to his room forcefully opened the door and walked to the right hand side of the room where a single door was. It was the room Olivia was occupying. Few days after she stayed in his room,this side was cleaned and prepared for her.

He opened the door and forcefully pushed her into the room. He paced around the room and stopped to look at Olivia glued to a side in the corner of the room and shook in fear.

" What did you not understand in what I told you?" He squat in her front,stretched his hands to caress her face which made her flinched.

" Why do you have to go against my words. Huh, tell me what you want me to do so you will listen to me." He continued to caress her checks, Olivia didn't know what he might do to her. He tried to kiss her but she held her lips firmly turning away from him. He groaned at her behavior." You like him don't you?" Olivia shook her head and Ronan slammed his hand on the wall which made her flinch.

" Don't lie to me. I saw the way you smiled at him, you have never smiled at me. Olivia had started whimpering silently. She clenched on her dress." Come on smile for me,it's not that hard, you can do it." Frustrated he shouted "Come on, fucking do it." He snapped. Immediately she tried to run but was blocked by Ronan's powerful body. " Where do you think you are going. I watch how you danced with him, you like the way he touched you didn't you?" She nodded her her vigorously, she pleaded with him to stop. " Why don't you like me touching you." He moved closer to her till her head was below his chin. She closed her eyes and waited for the horror that might befall her.

" You know,I never regretted killing that bastard, I savoured every moment I made him suffer especially when I cut of his head." A malicious smile appeared on his lips. "Just imagining it brings me satisfaction." Olivia craned her head up to look at him. And he continued to speak. " Let me tell you something, everytime you disobey me and go to those poor miserable emaciated peasants, I will make sure I kill them." Her eyes widened with shock." All of them, and if they are alittle bit respectful I might consider keeping them alive. But that doesn't mean I won't torture then and cut off their hands so they wouldn't touch you." A sly smirk adorned his lips.

Then he spoke into her ear and whispered which got her panicking ," and get this into your rusted brain, if you think your constant rejection will make me tire of you,you got it all wrong. I have all the time in the world, so if you keep running away I will be right here when you run back begging me to take you. The more you run the more I want to keep you." He cupped her cheeks in his hands."That freedom you so much crave for, you will only see it but never experience it. You should be happy am treating you gently in my own terms if not you know what I can do."

As he stood up and walked to the door, Olivia gave a sigh of relief. He stood by the door frame and stared at how, she was do shaken.

" See what you made me do. If you would have just listened to me, we wouldn't have had such an exciting evening." He slammed the door as he left. Her body jumped when she had the abrupt sound of the door closing.

Olivia coiled in a ball when he left and her tears started to fall freely. She never knew her life will end up this miserable. If any one had told her few months ago that she will be meeting the monster Ronan Quinn she would have laughed and said it was a joke. She recalled how Ronan had killed Jon without any second tnhought. Just thinking about how his head rolled on the floor and then facing her suddenly made her feel nauseous. He was a kind person. She couldn't forget the fact that he died because of her.

Is this how it's going to be, any man that tried to be nice to her would end up dead or have both their hands amputated. She stared at where Ronan stood previously. He was nothing but a wicked and vile lord, but he has been a little bit patient with her. Unlike some Lords who rape and even beat their mistresses. Not that he was any better, he could change his mind any minute from now. He even made it clear he was never letting her go and she was here thinking he was neglecting her because he doesn't want her anymore. So ever since, he knew what she was doing and he played along.

She wiped the tears that had stained her cheeks and climbed the bed. She looked out of the the window and watched some of the carriages leaving the stronghold. She turned and laid flat on the bed staring at the ceiling and she didn't know when she slept off.

Ronan stared outside through the window. The stronghold was alive and filled with soldiers marching and some servants cleaning the place. He looked back when he heard footsteps approaching him.

" Mi lord." Came the voice of a man.

" Finally, I was thinking you will never show up Sir Brooke" Ronan said before turning to face the man.

" Am sorry to have kept you waiting my Lord." Ronan began speaking. " Let me get straight to the point. Why was one of your minions lurking in the stronghold yesterday."

Sir Brooke immediately bowed and apologized. " Am sorry my Lord, I didn't know my men sneaked around. I personally warned them not to do anything funny. I will make sure I punish the person once I get back." The man was confused, how come he found Jon out. He was one of his best men and that was the reason he brought him along. He needed to warn his men to lay low for a while.

Ronan chuckled when he heard what the head of the slave establishment said, he knew he was lying so he played along. "Weren't you at the celebration last night, I did an excellent job at punishing him so you don't have to worry about him." The man eyes widened hearing this so all the commotion last night it was Jon who got beheaded last night not another man. Was he that careless? How come? The man quickly hid his expression and smiled then stated." He will set as an example for others who will not think twice before acting." Hearing this a broad smile started to appear on Romans face.

" That should do because I have a pet right now who is yet to be tamed and she is quite troublesome, I wouldn't want any of your men around her. So I want you and your men far from the stronghold." Ronan stopped and and looked through the window and continued." You could even leave Valerie, cause she always sneaks out sometimes, it would be wise if you don't want to lessen the number of your men." He said this time his voice more sharper.

" I will my lord, be rest assured you won't have anything to worry about." Sir Brooke assured him knowing what he meant.

" Wonderful, that's more like it". Ronan smiled to diffuse the dangerous atmosphere. "Then you may leave Sir Brooke, I don't have anything to say to you anymore and I look forward to you men leaving Valarie for good." He emphasized on the word . The man smiled and bowed his head despite his reluctancy to leave Valarie he knew the consequences of not listening to tonan. He walked towards the direction he came from and cursed the bitch that made him lose his best man and also a great deal of business in the now and in the nearest future.
