The Princess Slave
Chapter 72

Violette POV

I was left in the cold.. damp dungeon. They brought me food and water.. but it was more than torture as the smell of it made me want to throw up. I kicked my tray back under the cell door and began to cry.

This is all wrong.

It doesn’t make any sense.

I placed my hands on my belly.. I couldn’t hear anything but my own heartbeat. It made no sense whatsoever.

He choked me.. he.. called me a whore slave.

I’ve never been with any man but him. He is everything I want. Everything I dream of. I’d never hurt him in such a way.. never.

I curled into a ball against the wall and sobbed.

“What’s wrong with me? Why did I ever trust him? Why would you curse me to live a life like this?” O begged the Moon Goddess for answered but I never got a response.

I feel as if my heart is being ripped from my chest.

I.. loved him.

The cell door opened and Loren walked up to me with the tray I’d kicked earlier in his hands.

“You need to eat, Violette..” he said in a troubled voice.

“Take it away. I cannot bear the smell of it.” I growled.

“Please, just a few bites. You’re going to starve yourself.” He said. I looked up at him through my tears at bared my teeth at him.

“Take it away! Get out! I don’t want to see any of you! You’re all liars! You all betrayed me!” I snapped. He jumped back in shock, a look of hurt crossed his features.

“We.. we didn’t betray you, Violette.” He spoke in a softer tone than before.

“You let me trust him. I gave him my everything.. and you all let me, knowing what a fool I was. Did you laugh behind my back knowing that this was all part of his plan to get back at my family? How sick do you have to be to let a woman fall in love with a man she has no future with? To let me endure everything I have.. I can’t stand to look at you! I’m not playing this game anymore!” I snapped. My claws shot out and dig into the concrete floor.

“What are you talking about, Violette? He cares for you so much.” Loren said as he furrowed his brows.

“If he cared for me, I wouldn’t be in here. I’d rather be dead than listen to more lies.” I covered my ears with my hands and cried.

Loren kneeled in front of me and reached for my arms.

“Don’t touch me Loren. Don’t do it.” I snapped.

“Please don’t speak that way, Violette. He’s just hurt.. you don’t understand his pain.” He said. I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes.

“I don’t understand his pain? ME? Get out! Get the f**k out!” I growled. He stood up and let out a sigh.

“I really am sorry, Violette. You’re my friend and I hate to see you in such a position.” With that, he left the tray on the floor in front of me and walked out. He locked the cell and left the dungeon.

I screamed as I kicked the tray as hard as I could, the contents on top flew across the hall of the dungeon and splattered everywhere.

I.. I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be alive. I don’t want to live knowing that he hates me. Knowing that I was used..

I began to sob uncontrollably, my head throbbing with each passing second.

I heard the dungeon door open again, and I expected it to be Loren.. but was met with the face of Sylvia.

“Oh, Sylvia!” I cried. She was followed in my Enzo who unlocked the cell door.

“I can’t believe he did this! I believe you. I know you’re telling the truth, Princess. I can feel it.. I just know it.” Her eyes brimmed with tears as she lowered herself to my level and pulled me against her.

“I don’t even hear a heartbeat..” I cried.

“Shh.. it’s okay. I know. You’ll be fine, I promise. Just give him time.. it will work out, you’ll see.” She said. I looked up at her.

“It won’t work out, Sylvia. He was lying the whole time.. he doesn’t care for me. He just wanted to hurt me like my father hurt him.. and he succeeded.” I cried. She held my face into her hands, her eyes flashing white for a moment. I jumped back as I stared at her.. I’d seen this before. My face paled with realization.

“Give it time. It will fall into place. Trust and have faith.” She said. Her eyes went back to normal and she looked at me curiously.

“W-what just happened? How did you do that?” I asked. She furrowed her brows in confusion.

“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything.” She said.

“You just said “give it time. It will fall into place.” And your eyes went white.” I said. She shook her head.

“Violette, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t say anything..” she said. I could tell she was a bit unsure of her answer but didn’t say anything else about it.

“Can you eat?” She asked. I shook my head, the thought of eating making me gag.

“I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to make it worse.. here, drink some water.” She handed me the glass of water and I quickly drank it down.

I handed her the cup and let out a sigh.

“He hates me.” I cried softly.

“He doesn’t.. he’s just-“

I gripped my stomach and chest as a pain rolled through me. My pains.. my mate is being unfaithful.

It was far more painful than I’d ever felt in my life.. I rolled onto the floor bawling my eyes out, Sylvia rushing to hold me as it got worse.

“Someone help!” She cried. I couldn’t even think straight.. the pain was so severe. I felt it begin to travel throughout my body, my head bursting with flames.. it felt like I was burning alive.

“S-syl-via..” I choked out as I felt the air rip from my lungs. My heart felt as if it were being ripped in half right inside my chest.. the world grew dark and blurry, the only sounds I could hear was Sylvia’s frantic shouting.

Please.. just let this be it. Let this be over. I don’t want to live any longer.. I don’t want to suffer any more. I just want peace. I want my mom.
