Something briefly crossed over Jake’s face, which I couldn’t recognize, but it was gone before I could recognize it.

He stepped forward at that moment and tugged me into a hug. I stiffened for a moment before wrapping my arms around his waist while his chin rested on my head.

After a few seconds, he broke the hug and stepped back, then he nodded.

"You just be careful, okay?"

I nodded and flashed him a smile. "I will be, I promise."

When I accompanied the rest of my new group members out of the slave quarters to the location where we’ll all get transported from, I made small talks with belle.

"Are you excited?" She asked and I shook my head, which made her frown at me like I was not making any sense.

"Why?"

"Well, for one I wish to rest instead of being worked in my injured state," I pointed out and her eyed widened as she took in my appearance like she was just noticing the bandages.

"Oh, that must suck." She muttered and I couldn’t agree more.

"Yeah."

"But why did that spy target you though? Do you have a previous encounter with her?" She asked and I frowned as my heartbeat picked up.

"What? Why do you think that?"

She shrugged. "She just sounded like she’s well acquainted with you, I guess ." She responded and I scoffed.

"That’s definitely not the case, I don’t even know who she was when she was disguising as a slave cause I was always busy anyway."

Her eyebrows waggled this time and she leaned forward. "Always busy? With that?"

I shrugged, and when I didn’t respond, she nudged my shoulder with hers and waffled her eyebrows at me again.

"Busy with the crowned prince?" She drawled and I choked on literal air as I shook my head, feeling desperate to change the subject at once.

"You said you were excited about where we’re headed? Why is that?"

She instantly forgot what she was about to say next, and a dreamy expression came across her face as she grinned.

"Well, for one, I’m very assigned that we’ll all be seeing to the princess today. She’s so amazing and sweet and I’m hoping I’ll be able to have a little conversation with her. She’s such an icon and someone that I wish to become one day."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes right now. If only she knew how horrible the princess actually is, then she definitely won’t be talking like this right now.

"What makes you think she’s so nice? After all you can’t be sure," I pointed out on a grumble.

Belle smacked my arm and I winced just as she began to speak again.

"Everyone says she’s Is. There’s no way she’ll be anything but that." Belle insisted and by how she was speaking, one might think she’s related to the princess.

A bus transported us to the location.

This was my first time getting into a bus and the Scottie was exciting and something to definitely revisit again. I felt a little dizzy on the way, but Belle said I was fine and that it was just motion sickness.

It felt so horrible and made me feel super drowsy till we arrived at the location, which is in front of a very large booking hall.

Our job here today is to clean up the hall, then do whatever the process asks us to do, cause she’s here to supervise since she’s in charge of decorating the hall. I noticed the moment she arrived, all the slaves hooted in excitement as she walked in with about six girls and four guards tailing her.

One of the people tailing her wax Damien. My eyes widened as my eyes locked with his, and at once, my last encounter with him lurched through my mind, making me wuickly Avery my gaze.

What is he doing here? Is he working as a guard for the princess today? Or was he also here for an ulterior motive?

When the process address everyone, she sounded nothing like the vile person who threatened me just yesterday. Instead, she sounded hella cherry and kind, and I was able to see the exact image everyone ate in love with, which I’d clearly nothing but a facade. Her true character was definitely the one I met yesterday.

"Meet Damian, everyone." She pointed at Damon as she spoke snd he came forward to stand beside her just as she continued.

"He’s here today to supervise along with me." She explained, just as Damian began to list out what he wanted us to do. My eyed kept meeting with his and I didn’t like that, because each time I stared at him, all that runs through my mind is the fact that he wanted to have sex with me and had even asked me to give him a response in 3 days.

I was moping the floor along with about ten more people when two of the girls who tailed the Princess when she just arrived, came over to me and informed ne that the Princess had sent for me.

My stomach tightened as I let out a long groan internally. I knew this was coming because before we even arrived here, I could already tell she sent for me to be here as well because she wanted to harm me or something.

There was nothing I could do right now except to accompany her, and that’s exactly what I did. As I accompanied the two girls all the way to the back of the large hall where the princess and the rest of her girls were at, my heart pounded hard against my ribs st the sight of her furious face as she stalked towards me and gave me a firm slap across the face before I could get a word out.

Pain slicked through me as I grabbed my cheek just as she began to speak.

"Didn’t I warn you to stay away from the Prince?? So why were you sighted with him last night??" She yelled into my face and my heart dropped into my stomach at the enraged looked in her eyes.

Oh shit.
