“She’s pretty, but it’s a pity that we have to dispose of her,”

“Stop whining and fix the things so that we can sail this ship out of this ocean. Also, I don’t want to be in a disadvantaged state with the boss,”

“Relax! You are too scared of our boss, and I thought we would only take one woman. I didn’t know there was a reserve,”

“This is okay. Ma’am Sharmon said that no one was in the house because he had given Jaccobich’s men sleeping pills. We didn’t expect that there was still someone awake, so we had no choice but to take them,”

I heard their footsteps walking away from me. I opened my eyes because of the loud conversation, and I don’t know what they’re saying. I felt pain on the side of my forehead and felt like there was liquid dripping from it.

I wanted to hold and touch there, but my hands were tied. Only now have I also noticed that there’s a cloth covering my mouth like they were preventing me from screaming.

“What are you doing? Hurry up! We haven’t ready to set sail yet, and we might get caught if we stay here for a long time,”

“We won’t get caught. Just relax, dude!”

When I looked ahead, my vision was a bit blurred, but eventually, it became clear. I roamed my eyes and searched for the owner of the voices I just heard. I saw two people with guns behind them. One is holding a rope while the other is holding a container; it looks like fuel.

They didn’t notice that I was already conscious because I couldn’t make any noise or movements. The rope tied on my hands and feet was so tight that it gives me pain every time I moved. Even my mouth hurts because it was also linked with clothes.

When I turned to my right, I saw that I was not alone. Two women were also tied up, and as far as I know, they were maids in Reign’s house, and I was sure because both of them are wearing uniforms the same as Thraia’s. They were still unconscious.

I roamed my eyes once again and then turned my eyes upfront. A climbing ratline connects to the sails, and when I turned my eyes on the left side, there are scattered barrels. I’m not sure where we currently are, but it’s like we’re on an old ship, like one in the pirate movies.

“How long would it take!” I immediately looked at the source of the voice. The two men stopped what they were doing and confronted the person who had just arrived, “Why are you wasting time? You both know that we’re in a hurry, don’t you? We’re all doomed if Reign’s hands catch us!” Even though I can’t see the speaker’s face, I already know its base from the voice.

I felt angry because of this voice’s owner. She is the person who wants to ruin my life and the person who brought me on this ship. She’s the reason why Thraia needs to do such things! “Sharmon!” I said, but because clothes covered my mouth, I just seemed to moan instead of shouting. Damn! I can’t see her face because she is cover in darkness, the light embraces only the two men, but my blood is already boiling on the thought of Sharmon.

“Hurry up. We should be gone in five minutes!” I heard Sharmon say to the men in front of her.

“Yes, ma’am!” then I heard footsteps coming towards me. I stared ahead, and I already knew who it was. I feel doubly angry at being able to watch her face with the lamp that illuminates this ship.

“Sharmon!” I hissed again and struggles, but I can’t break the ties holding me at this state. When Sharmon got close to me, she suddenly stepped on one of the maids who were still unconsciously lying beside me.

“Hey bitches, wake up!” I want to strangle Sharmon. I know that I’m the only one she wants to see suffer, but why does she need to involve innocent people?

I felt sorry when the two maids woke up in a panic. Maybe the other one was interrupted by fear because of the voice Sharmon gave. She’s wicked! This might be why Reign didn’t take an interest in her because of her animalistic attitude!

I was surprised when Sharmon suddenly slapped the two maids who just gained their consciousness, “You have no right to be with Reign under one roof, and you are fortunate to let those dirty eyes stare at my precious man! I want to snatch those two eyes from your face!” Sharmon made a sharp and sibilant sound that made my ears hurt, but I was startled when she took a knife from her back.

“Both of you,” she then wields the knife in front of the scared maids, “Who among you saw Reign naked?” I want to strangle him tightly. What is Sharmon saying? Why she’s acting like she owned Reign?

The two did not answer. Even with clothes covering their mouths, I know that they are sobbing because their tears have been dripping since earlier, “You don’t want to answer, ay?” I suddenly howled when Sharmon stabbed the knife into the right eye of one of the maids. I struggled and poured all my strength to get out of the tie, but I couldn’t because the rope was stiff.

I cried when I saw the knife stuck in the maid’s eye. Blood was flowing from it to her cheek, and I could feel her tears and blood mixed. The other maid was scared, covered even her mouth, a scream and sob came out. Both of them were crying because of fear, while I was crying because of anger.

I glared at Sharmon, causing her to turn her gaze at me. I was frozen when she gave me a predatory stare. It gives me chills, unsettling, and uncomfortable feelings, but I ignored everything because my anger at her prevailed.

Sharmon gave me an insane grin and immediately sat down in front of me. As I was lying down, she immediately reached for my hair and pulled me to sit up. I didn’t take my eyes off her for even a few seconds.

My stare at Sharmon was full of anger. While her right hand was holding my hair, the free one violently lowered the lid on my mouth. I feel like my lip has been remove because of her aggressive pulling. She grabbed my jaw and immediately brought my face closer to her as I stared at Sharmon; my anger bit into my bones.

“And you,” Sharmon tightened her grip on my hair and my jaw. My face was already hurting, but I didn’t take my eyes off her. “Didn’t I tell you to leave this island?” she said with a penetrating voice.

I don’t know what gotten into my head when I give her a mocking smile, “You should have the practice to make your threats outstanding. Reign is even scarier than you even without using words,” Sharmon’s expression change, and then it became venomous.

I received a brittle slap from Sharmon, and she pushed me violently. My head hit the wooden floor; it made an excruciating noise, but I didn’t let this beat me. I immediately looked in her direction and gave her another teasing smile.

Sharmon was about to hit me in the face when she was stopped because of the interruption made by one of the men she was talking to earlier, “We’re going to sail, ma’am!” Sharmon clicks her tongue and lowers her foot. She then immediately approached the maid, who was bloody and now unconscious.

Sharmon sat down in front of the maid then mercilessly and violently took the knife stuck in her eyes. Suddenly, the maid woke up and cried out along with the dripping of excessive blood from her eyes; the other maid was lying quietly and crying in the corner because she had nothing else to do.

Sharmon looked at me with intense, “We’re not done yet,” she said and immediately stood up. She walked away from where we were like she did nothing merciless.

My hands were clenched tightly because of anger. I want to explode, break these ties upon me, and break everything on Sharmon. I sighed and looked at the situation of the two maids. I softened to see the two of them looking at me with tender eyes.

I can’t stop my tears from falling, “I’m sorry,” I said between my sobs. Sharmon is crazy, just like what Thraia said. She’s wicked, and I was the witch who brings these two maids into this situation.
