CHAPTER 8 - The Smart One

  “All my life, I have never been touched by a man. I’ve remained clean and chaste” – Ava Goodchild

  As we assembled the floor, I looked around carefully, noting where everyone was.

  The beast was right at the center, on his throne.

  With a tight-lipped and stern expression, he watched each of us prudently.

  There were some men, standing just by his side.

  And one other, serving as a guard, who seemed terribly familiar.

  While at the top part of the mansion, were two other women. The first was Cicilia, the seductress. I couldn’t recognize the second cause I never remembered seeing her anywhere.

  But what I did know was that she definitely held a high rank.

  There was no doubt in that, from the way she was positioned, just beside Cicilia. She wore a really expensive attire, engrossed in an unknown conversation with her.

  One thing was quite obvious.

  She was indeed pretty.

  And she held a more visible aura of power, compared to Lady Cicilia.
