Mistresses

The moment Sir Brooke left, Ronan walked to his study to finish the pile of work that was waiting for him. When he was almost done he went to the cellar where Niall came to meet him.

" what brings you here Niall." Niall walked towards a chair and sat." I believe you have been avoiding me." Ronan gave a small laugh and said." Now you are being a jester." He stood up and went to where the beer was." Then Would you mind if I join you for a drink then." Niall asked Ronan and he nodded. Niall picked a glass and poured some beer into a glass.

Niall raised the glass up and said " it's a fine colour and the bubbles----" he drank from the glass and sighed in satisfaction and continued." Just right. Don't get me wrong. I love a good brandy. But sometimes nothing would do but a beer ----" Ronan who was playing with tip of the glass interrupted Niall. " Would you just get to the point"

" Am afraid I do no Know what you are talking about---." Niall feighing ignorance and once again he stopped him again.

" Yes you do." Niall nodded his head and placed the glass on the table.

" you are correct. I do, just like I know you were way to impulsive last night and turned a completely peaceful celebration to a blood bath." Ronan's brow drew together and he looked at Niall and frowned. " What!! Hell no, it was only one person, if I had killed a great number of people, it would have been a blood bath and besids, he got on my nerves, what did you expect me to do,let him insult me and I should just act like a fool. Never!"

Niall chuckled picked the glass , raising it up then staring at the content inside and at the same time saying." Or he got you jealous." He ended raising his brows.

" I beg your pardon, jealous." Ronan scoffed, " jealousy is the last thing you should associate me with!"

" Indeed." Niall eyes was filled with mirth." Then would you call it a coincidence that Sir Brooke came to see you this morning."

" All I did was merely to reduce the number of slave trade in Valerie." Ronan finally took a sip of his beer.

" Are you sure or is it to reduce the number of kidnappers revolving round her."

" Well then, do you mind them revolving round your numerous mistresses."

" Not that I mind, at least it will reduce the headache, always trying to attract my attention,"

" Then why do you keep them then, hussies always pestering around you. Don't you ever get tired?"

" Oh come , I don't keep them, they just end up being to clingy." Ronan rolled his eyes and drank the entire content in the glass.

" That doesn't change the idea that you are smitten by her. And you look silently angered at the sight of any man around her."

" I am not smitten, I just do not like sharing my belongings." Stated Ronan who has started pouring himself another glass. " Then you like her."

" No I do not." Ronan immediately denied the fact of having any feeling for the girl. Why would he he develop feelings for a mere peasant like her. No never.

" If you say so, I hope your anger wouldn't have done any damage before you realize what ever you have for her."

Ronan stood up and said." I remembered I haven't finish some of the work I have. Carlos will be waiting. Niall shook his head in disbelief when did he ever thought of Carlos feelings.

Olivia stood up from the bed. She stretched her hands and yawned. She went to take her bath and was dressed by the time Katie brought her breakfast.

" Good morning miss, I trust you had a wonderful night." She placed the tray on the table and smiled.

" It's Olivia Katie how many time do you want me to tell you."

" Am sorry, it just that bad habits die hard." Katie explained

" Nevermind," Olivia waved it off.

" Would you like me to bring you some books, I hope you enjoyed the ones I brought last time." She suggested knowing how Olivia was always left alone and has nothing to do.

" Yes I did and I love them. That's so thoughtful of you but don't worry, I would like to go pick them myself, I wouldn't want to disturb you. And also I want to walk around for a while.Thanks for suggesting anyway. You can go, I don't want to keep you waiting, I take care of the tray as usual" Katie hesitated but finaly left.

When Olivia was coming back from the kitchen, she passed through the main hall. Immediately she left there she met so ladies who were also mistresses to high officials who live in the stronghold. She pass through them and was about to leave when they blocked her way.

" Look who we have here, because the chief has been fucking her, her mouth is too big to greet her seniors." Rosie had long blonde hair, her ocean blue eyes could drown any one who looked at them. Her lips were red and thin. Her breast and hips were well defined. She was very beautiful and at the same time her her character was opposite to her looks. She was mean, greedy. You can describe her as a witch. Rosie who was the favorite mistress of the commander of the Vikings, the leader of the powerful group in the Quinn's army. Since then, she has been on top of the world. Alot of servants and slaves feared her and even alot of misstressee with lower status loves to cling on her because she was favovered by the commander and she always gets what she wants.

Olivia wasn't in the mood for any drama ignored her, turned back and was about to leave when some of Rosie's minions blocked her. She turned to face Rosie who had a mischievous some in her face.

" Where do you think you are going. You are going nowhere until you do what I want." Rosie declared with confidence, she looked at the little leech in front of her with nothing but hatred. When ever she looks her at she just wish to scratch her face off. She didn't know what was so special about her. For years she has been trying to gain the attention of the chief but to no avail. Then his brother Niall, all her efforts went into the drain. He just spends the nice with a girl and that was all.

She didn't know what was wrong with the two brothers, they never keep mistresses at the end it was the Vikings commander that fell for her charms. After she had given up hope of being with either the brothers, she came and immediately the chief took her. She felt jealous and whenever she thinks about the little witch, she felt a slight prick in her heart.

" Why should I?" Olivia asked slightly annoyed. Since Rosie had set eyes on her she had hated her ever since. Olivia knew she needed to act fast or these girls would tremble on her. She must not let them see her as a weakling. She raised her head up so high so she started by saying.

" From what you said, I belong to the chief." She said this even if she hated the words," which means I don't have any seniors, I am the senior." She said proudly.

Rosie bit her tongue.you little bitch how dare you talk to me like that. Rosie Brow's narrowed and she cursed Olivia internally." Seems like you have forgotten your place so soon. You are just a mere slave who was just so lucky. When he is done with you, you Will go back to the slump you belong. So don't forget that." Rosie reminded her of how low her status was before Ronan took her.

" No wonder you were whoring around incase if you get dumped any minute from now. Poor man lost his head for no reason." She continued to throw hurtful words at her. This got some of the girls to whisper. Saying hurtful things about her among themselves.

" Mind what you say. I can still make you suffer if I want all I need to do is just make up some-------" Rosie couldn't help but laugh and her group laughed with her.

" Looks like you don't know how pathetic you are. Slaves who turn to mistress have no special position. All they do is to satisfy their Lords or masters." She folded her hands and it made her breasts look more alluring. "You should count yourself lucky, you even stay with him, wear good clothes and can go anywhere you want. Better enjoy it while it last because many girls like you end up been fucked and still are slaves." Rosie jabbed at her.

Olivia acted like her words never hurt her and she walked towards making sure she was infront of Rosie." I plan to because, I don't think mi lord is going to leave me anytime soon. He even said he will never let me go." She told Rosie what Ronan told her two days back. This got a nerve to pop on her head. She got angry and said.

" Yo little leech----- Hold her."

She tried to struggle but they cornered her when she wanted to run. Rosie laughed at her action. They held her and she struggled the more. No matter how she did they were too strong for her.

" Leave me, don't even dare touch me, I will ----." Before she could complete her words,a hot slap landed on her left cheek. Her dark curly hair scattered on her face. She lifted her head and shot Rosie a hateful glare and spat at her. Rosie's handprint showed on her cheeks.

Rosie raised her hand to slap her one more time when Carlos Ronan's assistant came to stop her.

" That will be enough Rosie, the chief would not be pleased." Carlos advised her. He had watch how Rosie and her gang had bullied Olivia who was stubborn to yield to their conctant insults.

" Whatever." She scoffed and turned to walk away and the rest of the women followed her. The ones that were holding Olivia dropped her hands and she fell on the ground.

Carlos walked to her and tried to help her but she refused his offer.

"Don't worry am fine." She didn't want another person dying on her. Carlos know the reason why she acted that way smiled and said. " Don't worry about me, an the cheif's assistant. My name is Carlos, if you need anything you can always come to me." He smiled.

Olivia nodded. " Thank you for helping me but I don't think mi lord will be pleased. But thanks anyway. She left his side and started to Walk towards Ronan quarters, it was her safe haven from Rosie and her minions. She left and walked away from preying eyes.
