She didn't let him.
In fact, Anarieveta began avoiding him again. This time, harder than the first time.
Two months after their night together, Gedony Raskin has had it with her. He has done everything within his power to see Anarieveta again, but she always evaded him.
He's in the school? She's suddenly out of the premises according to her assistant.
He's in her office? She's not around.
He goes to her home? Everywhere is locked.
The next thing he heard is, she has gone to the palace to spend some time with her godson, the little Prince.
Their night together lives in his head always, he hasn't been able to forget it. And frankly, it hurt him that she moved on without him. How can she just forget that beautiful intimate moment like it never happened?

Anarieveta got down from the carriage, paid the carriage-rider some coins, and watched him drive away.Then, she entered the huge property of the Raskins. Staring at the elegantly decorated big home, she contemplated knocking on that huge door several feet away from her.There's no turning back now. Her baby, Merrily, needs her.With that in mind, she covered the distance and knocked on the door, her heart in her throat. The door swung open.Gedony Raskin stood tall behind the door. The sleepy look fled from his eyes as he saw Anarieveta standing uneasily behind his door.When he sent out that crazy message about Merrily being sick and needing her, he never expected that s
Prologue.
Once upon a time, the kingdom of Salem and the kingdom of Mombana were at peace with one another. That peace, however, was broken when the king of Mombana passed away and a new monarch, Prince Cone, took over. Prince Cone has always been hungry for power, always wanting more and more. After his coronation, he attacked Salem. The attack was so unexpected, Salem never prepared for it. They were caught off guard. The king and queen were killed, and the prince was taken into slavery.The people of Salem that survived the war were enslaved; their land taken from them. Their women were made into sex slaves. They lost everything, including their land.Evil befell the land of Salem in the form of Prince Cone. The prince of Salem, Lucien, in his slavery, was filled with much rage, and he swore revenge.Ten years later, thirty-year-old Lucien and his people raided a coup and escaped slavery. They went into hiding and recuperated, training day and night under the leadership of the fearless and
CHAPTER 1.
Danika huddled down in her empty, cold cell. She had been there for one week and craved to be outside...or anywhere—anywhere at all that wasn’t the cold barren space. Time seemed to have become lost to her while trapped in the cells, consumed by her thoughts and the memories that plagued her.Only one bunk bed occupied the side of the room. Danika hadn't seen her captor in the past week, and that was the time he walked up to her, staring at her with the coldest eyes she had ever seen. Never in her life had she felt fear stronger than when she looked into those dark depths, filled with depravity to go with the sinister smile that graced his lips. He had stopped right before her, with calculating eyes that promised a world of anguish and pain. Danika had prayed he’d just end her, she knew whatever he had in store for her would only inflict the worst kind of pain. But when she realised his intentions were not to kill her, any hope of freedom faded away. He reached long, calloused finger
CHAPTER 2
They stared at each other, the malice between them apparent. Only King Lucien's wasn't just hate—it was loathing. Full raw hatred and rage. There was no warmth in his eyes. His face would have been handsome, but a thick scar ran over one cheek, giving him a savage look.He stalked closer to her, bent down and reached his hand toward her face. She lifted her chin too stubborn to allow him to get the reaction her desperately craved from her.He runs his finger down her cheek, almost gently, but she would not be deceived by his touch, not when all she saw hatred in his eyes. King Lucien lips tug into a cruel smile as he pushes her hair behind her ear, and twirls her blonde hair around his index finger. He tilts his head to the side, observing her for a second.“So foolish, you of all people should know how to address a King.” he sneered before tugging on the hair curled around his finger. Danika jerked forward with a gasp, and pain slivered across her scalp. She internally curses herself
CHAPTER 3
Chad's eyes caressed her body, and Danika wished the ground would open and cover her up. But she stood defiantly, staring Chad squarely in the face.Lust blanketed Chad's eyes as he looked at her hungrily. “Can I touch?” he asked eagerly. “When I’m done with her.” the King spoke calmly, yet his eyes made the words a promise. A clear display to her that he had control while she held none. Danika was his to-do as he wished to. Chad stared at the king again before walking out, and Danika discovered that there was a look in the man's eyes when he was staring at his king. Not hate—no, not hate. But she couldn’t place that look yet.“Guards!” the king called, but he didn't have to raise his voice.Two guards appeared. “Yes, Your Highness.”His cold eyes didn't leave Danika. “Tell the servants to bathe my slave once I'm done here. Get her clean and have her in my chambers in three hours.”“Yes, Your Highness.” The guards were reluctant to leave because they were staring at her state of undre
CHAPTER 4
She stood at the front of his chambers, staring at the door, then hesitantly knocked.“Come in,” came the curt reply. His deep voice reverberated through her.She opened the door and walked in. The light illuminated the room. The chambers were bathed in gold. It was the most beautiful sight she had seen, but the situation wasn't exactly favoring Danika's sense of exploration and appreciation. She could only stare at the big man who occupied one side of the room. At thirty-five years old, she has never seen a man who looks more larger than life than King Lucien.Watching him as he stuck a feather into the ink on the table, withdrew it, and continued scribbling down on the scroll before him, it was hard to believe that this man had ever been a slave.But he was. For ten whole years he endured unspeakable tortures in the hands of her father. Now, he was paying it back.The king raised his head finally and stared at Danika, holding the feather and watching her blatantly. All over her, his
CHAPTER 5
She knew he didn't finish and she wondered why. The man hated her; he had no remorse for her. So why didn't he keep plundering her body until he gained his satisfaction? She didn't know the answer to that, and it was the least of her problems. Alone, she started sobbing aloud. For the first time since her kingdom was ambushed, her father killed, and she was taken into slavery, she felt pain. Real raw pain.Heart-wrenching sobs wretched her throat. She had always dreamed of flowers. Her husband making love to her under the moonlight. Her, losing her virginity to him while he loved her body so tenderly.This was nowhere near what she imagined. Reality hurt like a knife to the heart. Father, why did you have to do this to me?She didn't know which pain was greater: the one coming from her body or the one from her heart. The one from her body was physical. What he did to her hurt. But the one to her heart hurt too, because she knew that this was her life now.Danika got off the bed, glad t
CHAPTER 6
SOMEWHERE IN SALEM. "Get the big bowl, Sally dear." The older woman's voice came from the sitting room. "Coming, Mrs. Menah." Sally carried the big bowl to the living room, and the older woman took it gratefully. "Come, join us eat." Mrs. Menah gave her a kind smile. "In a minute, Mrs. Menah." Sally went back to the kitchen. She sat down on the small chair there, her eyes looking around, taking in her surrounding. She's been here for a few days over one week. These good old couples she was giving to are the kindest of people. They treat her right as if she's a member of their family when she's only their helping hand. She's no longer a slave, but a help. Now, she gets paid for the simplest things. This is the best life ever for a girl that was born a slave. She's supposed to be happy. But she's not. Not at all.
