DO NOT COPY OR REPOST MY STORY!!
Chapter Twenty: I DO LOVE HIM
The moment Verdun left thunder strike and I know its going to be a heavy rain fall, maybe the gods knew I will be crying and they sent the rain to cover up my tears, what can I say but thank you " on second thoughts, screw you !!!" Yelling I felt the first drop of water on my face " why do you make my life so difficult, my parents gone, the only sibling I have, I don't even know if he is alive or dead but still yet you made me meet that bastard!!!" Yelling the rain started, drenching my cloth
Walking back to the mansion I couldn't help but to cry, no matter how many times I tell myself not to cry for him I find myself doing that, is not easy, I really like him and he is getting married soon
Arriving in the mansion I saw a guard putting on a weird uniform " are you Betty " nodding he give me a pathetic smile " alpha Verdun ask me to take you to the servants quarter when you arrive...am Sebastian " nodding I give him a weak smile
" is okay " walking behind him I watch the whole place, a room everywhere, most of the servants stepping out and gossiping about me
" isn't she his mistress??"
" looks like her body didn't satisfy him "
" she is from the green household "
" yes you're right. I bet those rich folks can't even wash the dishes, maybe this is a punishment for her "
Ignoring their murmuring we stop in a particular room " you will be staying here Betty and here is what you should do starting tomorrow, read it before going to bed " he hand me a sheet of paper and I collected
" thank you " watching him leave I step into the room and shut the door, at least each servants have a room to themselves, moving to the bed I open the paper only to be shocked " Betty green is only to answer to alpha Verdun, morning duties are to keep his bed clean, his bathroom, wash his cloth, make sure to give him his morning coffee and evening coffee. Under no circumstances should you cook in the kitchen because of your lack of skill, in fact do not step into the kitchen but you are allowed to wash the dishes and serve food " after reading half of the words I could feel my blood boil, exhaling I went back to it " whatever alpha Verdun need, you should be the one delivering them to him and always be on his call." Squeezing the papers I throw it out of the window
" breath Betty " hearing that voice I jump out of the fright before looking at who spoke, she has red hair " Elinor??? " seeing her more tears drop, she pull me in for a hug as we both cry.
" am sorry Betty, I had to see how you are doing " Elinor cried " mama and papa are so worried and then I heard a rumor that he is making you a maid, I had to come " withdrawing from the hug I stare at her confused.
" how did you get in, the place is heavily guarded " she nod smiling " spill it out Elinor, I hope it isn't stupid "
" okay sit down first Betty " cleaning my tears I sit on the bed then she said something I didn't expect to hear " am engaged to lord Norman " before I could yell she rush her words " I love him, that's why I got engaged" I know Elinor, whenever she is lying her eyes twitch and it doing that now
" oh my god you're lying " standing up I look at her " why will you get engage to him, you said you wanted true love, I want you to have that. One of us have to be happy "
" I know Betty " she cry " but mama said its the only way to restore our reputation and I get to see you because lord Norman ask to meet alpha Verdun and he said I can come with him to see you "
" is he hurting you??"
She shake her head " no Betty, am fine but you are not, look at what you're wearing. How can he make you a maid "
" is nothing Elinor, I will find a way out sooner or later" sitting back on the bed I hold her hands " let reputation be damned Elinor, if you know you can't spend the rest of your life with him escape, please run away, far away from all these. I want you to be happy if I can't be happy, be happy for us. Love someone who will take care of you, who you can stand with, who respect you and who you are fond of "
" oh Betty " she clean my tears " do you love alpha Verdun, is that why this is hurting "
" yes, I keep denying it to myself but I can't anymore,I do love him, I love him so much that it hurts " crying I bite my lower lip " he keep pushing me away Elinor, he keep hurting me "
" let's get out of here Betty, you deserve more " shaking my head I look at her " alpha Verdun is dangerous Elinor, I don't want to put you in trouble, go on without me, I will escape later "
" promise" smiling I hook my finger with hers " promise " after the season of crying and heart touching words she show me the dress she brought for me, all my paintings, my favorite dress, favorite men cloth and the necklace Verdun gave me years back, I thought I took it with me, how did I lose it " I found it on my way coming here Betty, you must have run and dropped it "
" I don't want it"
" keep it Betty, it keep coming to you for a reason " I watch her dip it into my bag " I have to go now, it late but please shower and eat what I brought, you are losing weight " nodding I watch her leave the room, sitting still I look around the place, a door leading to a bathroom and then only a small bed is placed in here
Standing up I find nails and hang my paintings " one day I will be out of here, just like a free bird ready to fly" smiling I look at the painting on the wall, a bird learning how to fly as the mother and siblings urge him to go on and he suddenly did it, flying " one day Verdun will realize he has just lost the most important thing in his life and at that moment I will be far away, so far that he won't be able to reach me nor touch me "
I have never understood what love meant but the very man that open my heart to that is crushing it into pieces, I may love him but I also hate him, hate him for disrespecting me, hate him for kissing me, all these feelings started with that stupid kiss
"I hate you Verdun" mumbling I look outside the window to see Elinor getting in the carriage and it moving away, I hate Verdun for making me a prisoner, the list is so long that I end up hating myself
Hating myself for loving him.
