Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Raymond POV:-

I stare at Violet whose Hazel Gems bore into mine. After kissing her my anger faded away in an instant.I looked at her lovingly. I backed away and pulled her out of our room. We came to the Main Hall as I Called out loudly,

"Emma!" Celine as well as Emma; our head maid,come out.

"Give me an ointment to apply on the wound. And if I saw my wife doing any housework, you shall pay for it with your job. Understood?" I spoke loudly in anger.

"Y-yes, S-Sir. I understand. I shall go a-and get the ointment." She shuddered with fear as she left.

"Violet.. are you alright?" Celine asked, scared. What's wrong with her? It's not like she has seen fighting for the first time. She, who has heard my screams of misery won't be affected by mere shouting.

"Nothing... we just had a talk" She glared at me and then smiled at Celine. At least she smiled at her and cared for her.

Emma brought the ointment .

"Sit." I ordered Violet.

She sat down as i sat beside her and began to apply the ointment she stare at me with a wince and shock look,

"What?"I asked annoyed.

"Nothing... Have you ever applied an ointment to a burn before?" She asked, surprised. Before I could say something Celine yelled,

"BROTHER YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RUB THE BURN!" My eyes widened in daze as Violet was looking at me with a confused look then she broke in a chuckle.

"Sorry.." She said laughing.

I couldn't help but to blush from embarrassment . Celine also broke into a laugh,

"haha! Brother...You see Sis.. I'm always the one who applied ointments on all of his scars-"

"Celine!"I called her name loudly in anger to signal her that she had said more than she should as she shut her mouth in fear. Violet stopped laughing and mumbled grumpily,

"Moody"

"Watch your mouth, woman." I hissed at her in a low voice.

Silence fell upon as I began to apply the ointment gently. She winced in pain again,

"Stay still"

"Learn how to be gentle then." She retorted, I belittled her words and applied the ointment. After I applied I began to say,

"What have you cooked ?" Well, I need to know her cooking skills. I know about her dream of opening a bakery of her own.

"Nothing." She replied coldly.

"Celine. Do you know?" I asked Celine but Violet said,

"I am the one who cooked, not her. I baked some Cookies and A Cake."

"I see.." I began to trail off because I don't want her to know that I want to eat them.

"Sister, can you bring them? We can eat them.. right brother..?"

Celine asked. At least she knows what I want.

"Fine by me." I replied monotonously.

Then Celine bought the cookies and the cake. I took a bite of it as both of them were looking at me with a strange look and Celine began to say,

"So.. How's it?"

"Definitely not the worst. It's good." I replied honestly.

"That's it?" Celine asked, surprised.

"What else is there to say?" I asked.

"You should have complimented more."She scold as I scoff,

"At least it was honest." Violet interrupted. She was neither sad nor happy about it.

In the evening Celine left,

"SEE YOU ! RAYBRO! SISTER! HE'S A BIT TO HANDLE BUT TAKE A GREAT CARE OF HIM!" She said, more like screamed.

Violet smiled at her as hugged me and left.

Violet POV:-

"Thanks Sister and I am also Sorry."Celine whispered to me while hugging.

"It's alright..." I whispered back.She backed away and shouted in her usual cheerful manner.

Oh no... my last ray of courage left. I was left behind alone with him. Just that thought sent shivers down my spine as my legs began to shake uncontrollably in veneration. I can't fight him alone. My mind was clouded with nothing but terror of what he might do.

After dinner I didn't have the courage to meet him- especially alone in our room.

As I was reading a book, my greatest fear I ever had in my life came. I looked up from my book and saw him standing in front of me. His hands were in the pockets of his pants as his white shirt's sleeves were folded upward.

His tie was missing and the few buttons of the shirt were opened, showing his toned chest. He held an unreadable expression on his face. He was looking down at me. I didn't understand his expression. I stood up and looked at him with my usual cold gaze but my eyes widened in horror as violent shivers began to emerge from my frightened body. His eyes show nothing but Lust.

Under the ambience of his piercing gaze, I took a step back and clutched my book tightly against my chest. I am so afraid of what he has in mind for me. A never ending shiver was traveling in my body.

He just stood there amused by my scared expression. Did he enjoy scaring and torturing me that much?

I took a step back as he reached his hand and took the book away from me.

"Lord of the rings?" He asked with a smirk as mockery was lingering from his every word. He was clearly enjoying me being terrified of him, showing he has complete control over me and I am vulnerable before him. His eyes were showing a mixed expression of Amusement, Mockery and Lust.

"M-My C-Choice.." I managed to utter.

He took a step closer towards me as my hairs stood on their edges with fright.

"Girls of your age read books like Age of innocence or Pride and Prejudice.." He said with his signature smirk.

I don't like romantic novels so I replied to him,

"My Preference.." Somehow I manage to speak without uttering.

He chuckled darkly as I gulped in fear. He sat on the chair. His lust was replaced by his dominance and supremacy.

He put his one leg over the other, his smirk never leaving him.

That moment i realized;

Right now, I am at his Mercy.
