Chapter one

Cold day

I stood at the green pasture staring at the beautiful lake behind my small family cottage where I lived. I admire the quietness, the breeze that gave the chills but in a good way then from afar i had my sister Emily, a very young beautiful lady and the most kind hearted person i know with her beautiful green forest of an eye and her long wavy black hair which I admire very much ,she had a very beautiful body to die for but in all that were alike in features is just that my eyes were deep blue and I had long beautiful blonde hair and well, I was the youngest of the two of us she was a year older. We had very different personalities and it disturbed me cause I was very stubborn easily angered and annoying while Emily was a kind and gentle soul but that didn't stop us from loving each other dearly and she was my everything.

Emily called my name saying"Melody!!" Running towards me crying I froze wondering what would make her cry even though she was not strong when it comes to the heart but it was a too sudden to cry. I was already getting annoyed and ready to beat up any one who made my precious sister cry so I ran to her and hugged her " who made you cry, tell me and i will make them pay " i said angrily" is it john? Cause I swear I will make him pay if he ever breaks your heart, did he?"but she was speechless and cried the more nodding her head then she said " they are all gone!!" She said loudly and I began to wonder who are all gone and to where?" Who are gone Emily? And to where? did John run away with another woman?" I was beginning to get confused as she cried the more " I will show you what that bitch has done to us" I know my sister never had cuss only if she is very angry, she pulled my hand and we started running toward our small cottage, our home where we lived with our loving parents then that is when I observed smoke filling the air then I began to wonder was I so caught up in my world of fantasies that i don't know what was going on . I froze and felt my knees weak looking at the lifeless body of our parents and john my sister boyfriend covered in blood tears filled my eyes but they couldn't fall at least not yet then I turned to my sister who was crying deeply and I was speechless, I was looking at there bodies for seems like forever with heavy eyes then lost in the world of despair , i fell on my knees and screamed to the top of my lungs as tears poured down I ran up there bodies and cried " who did this? And why? What have we done to deserve such treatment, who?" I yelled then I had a chuckle from behind me , I turned to see who it was , my eyes landed on the most wicked person I know she was her royal highness lady faith the mysterious king sister, two years ago she came to our village in search for a surrogate mother who will mother her child since she could not bear a child so she said and i did not believe her because of all places why our small poor village not in the capital where she can her a girl form a noble family who will gladly bear a child for her then she came to my family and ever since then she has been tormenting us saying that our parents should release one of there daughters to her which I and my sister refused cause we saw no dignity ?in it and today she has push my button i don't care anymore if she was the king sister i will give her my fist " so, i see you brought the arrogant one Emily anyway let her join the party the more the merrier " she chuckle , I knew , I and my sister where beautiful because in the village we were known to be one of the most beautiful in the village. My sister Emily is so beautiful that many men came asking for her hand in marriage and while many men where afraid to approach me cause I was very aggressive . John My sister boyfriend was of noble blood she fell in love with him and where planning to get married next year but I guess that is impossible now." Why did you do this? I asked as tears poured down my eyes, i angrily stood and unexpectedly punch lady faith in the face which gave her a black eye in anger she summoned her guards and the held my hands as she slapped me hard across the face " you spoilt brat how dear you touch a royal blood you swine " I laughed bitterly at her and my sister rushed to her on her knees begging her to let go but I didn't care one bit " so you dare touch me cause I just removed some flies in your life any way I only need one of you I would have taken both not to separate the bond you share but you know what I can't take a wild goat with me " I can't imagine being way from my sister no way is me with that hand of yours, guards take her to whore house ,she will serve her punishment there am going to separate us"why did you kill them they did nothing to you" I asked her in shaking voice, she just laughed and said" they were in the way of my plan , so, Melody you are going to regret ever touching me with that hand of yours, guards take her to whore house ,she will serve her punishment there forever, emily! Let us go, guards!!" She yelled" do your job" I watch as they forcefully took my sister to the carriage and the left me behind with then lady faith said to me "this will be the last time you are going to see emily and don't always believe what you see the human nature is wicked." I became confused with what she said to me but that was not the problem, I began to struggle with guard to let me go but it was fruitless.

I cried bitterly as I watched lady faith and emily got into the carriage and the horses drove off, no way am I going to let them separate us, i struggle to run after them but i was to late before i could think of any thing the guard had knocked me out.

I woke up with a throbbing pain in my head. I looked around and discovered I was in a red room. It totally red in colour form the curtains to the bed sheets. I looked around again to find the door, so I stood up from the bed and walked toward the door that when I observed I was dressed I n revealing clothes which I hate more than anything, so, I looked around the room and found a black cloak then I wore it and gently opened the door. I was a lonely passage but noisy. I could hear groaning and moaning from the other rooms then walked down and pass by a door which was slightly open, my curiosity got the best of me. I peak through the door and saw a man and a woman having sex . I froze again then I remember lady faith saying something about a whore house where I spend my eternity that when everything came rushing to me . I can't be here no way, I won't be a whore and I must make sure of it . I need to leave this place by all means and it must be today .

I left the passage and that when, I had music playing and I saw women sweating the bodies while men were touching them immorally then out of nowhere a man pulled the cloak from my body and it exposed the revealing clothes I was wearing for once in my life I felt ashamed of myself the man started laughing and drew the attention of other on us many started giving me lustful gaze and that got me angry so i said" what are you animals looking at turn away before i pull out your eyes" then I drag my cloak from the man who cause all these and covered my body " why cover the nice body, the party has only begun" the man said to me. I got angry and punch the man in the balls everyone was shocked then I ran towards the door and got out but that was not all the men in the whore house all ran after me. The man, I punched was still groaning I pain .

I ran as fast as I could not turning back for even a second. I was getting tired and losing oxygen then when I noticed I gave them good amount of distance I hid in a dark alley behind a barrel,so,the man pass me by without noticing.

I waited for a while still the have gone far and even thou return back to the towards the whore house then I came out . I walked aimlessly on the streets not knowing where I was or even were I was heading to.

Lady faith took everything from me and I promise her I will do the same but first I need to start a life .

While walking I saw a drunk men lying down on the road. I guess right now he had drank all his worries away and I got tempted to do the same so I picked the bottle of alcohol he had walk away.

While walking I drank the alcohol and my sorrows were slowing drifting way until all round me became blank.

The next day

I woke up with a hangover since it was my first time drinking in a horse stables and a young man with pale blue eyes looking at me,he had a broad shoulder and well toned muscles and greek like beauty, he was very handsome but I cared less . I stood up immediately and covered my body properly with the cloak the man noticed my clothing and and smirk " what is a lady doing, sleeping on the floor half naked in the horses stable " i looked into his eyes and became speechless then i said " am so sorry,i had a rough night and got drunk so i ended up here don't worry i wont disturb you any more " I stood up quickly and dusted my body" don't go yet let me help you am sure for you to be half naked, drunk and looking aimless, there must be a story" he said to me and smiled, I got relieved that i got help even if I looked like a whore he didn't judge me so i came out of the stables following him that is when I noticed I was standing front of a mansion so I froze and he only chuckled " come on, you need to get proper care" he said walking pass me and i followed. He led the way into the mansion , I was lost in it beauty admiring the huge golden chandelier and the beautiful elegant furnitures as well as the paintings on the wall which I guess will cost a fortune , then we arrived a door" you can stay here, i want you to take a bath the servants will bring a proper dress and we will have lunch and we will discuss " i was thankful to him so i said " I am very grateful for everything" i said and he left I walked into the room and closed the door so I took a long hot bath. I made sure to scrub my sore body properly and when I was done I felt alive and stronger then I got dress I a very beautiful green gown as I admire my self in the mirror my stomach growled then I heard a knock in the door. I was done with dressing and every other thing so I went to the and opened the door. It was a servant there" my lady, my master is waiting for you. I will lead the way" she said, noticing I was already done. I followed her to the dining room. When we reached there I couldn't stop looking around. It has a red chandelier above it and a golden chair and table and every other thing was gold in colour. That when my eyes fell on the man from the stable. He looked at and smiled " the dress looks beautiful on you" I smiled " thank you, sir" I said and and he gestured me to sit down next to him while the maids served the food, the food looked appetizing and the aroma was great. There were so many food on the table some I have never eaten before " I didn't know what you liked so I asked to make most things women liked eating" he said, I don't know this man and yet he is so caring, gentle and understanding to me . I wonder why but it not time to think but to eat." Thank you, sir " I said.

" Eat" he said

We started eating after a while we were full with the food . The man looked at me and said " I will be going out when I come back we will talk " I nodded and he excused himself.

FEW HOURS LATER

I was in the room given to me by him doing nothing that when I decided to take a tour around the house , it was peaceful and quiet the mansion was very beautiful both inside and outside. I got distracted by everything for a while then I remembered how I lost everything in one day which was yesterday and today, well today is a new day and am not going to cry cause I must make lady faith pay for everything she did to me.

I got bored with everything that when I remembered I don't even know the good man's name and he don't know mine , well it is never too late to start with a proper introduction

I was in the room balcony feeling the evening chill air remembering the lake behind my cottage but I guess that is no more. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice Mr stranger come in cause I was so I the thought of what if nothing bad ever happened maybe by now I will be having dinner with my family and happily discussing with my sister that when I felt hands on my waist I trembled a bit " don't worry it is just me. I won't hurt you and I didn't mean to scar you" he said to me . It was mister stranger but since he is now I will introduce my self" emm.... Don't be it was my fault I should be more alert by the way my name is Melody Greenfield"I said and smiled, he also returned the smile and said"well melody my name is Raymond just Call me ray" he didn't tell me his surname I wonder why? anyway it doesn't matter then I wonder why he will he was holding my waist just now it wasn't proper and i won't let it go." So Mr ray why will you hold a lady you just met on the waist?" I look at him seriously then he got shocked" says the woman who was dressed half naked " he said to me mockingly " don't judge a book by it cover Mr Raymond you don't know my story behind that dress" I yelled at him" don't you dare yell at me melody! You have no right. I gave you comfort and every other thing you may need to a woman who is a whore in my house " he yelled back at me so he took me for a whore anyway the way i looked it will miss judge me but I guess that was not the case he came here with the intention of sleeping with me" everything was taken away from me . I was brought to a whore house yesterday which luckily I was able to run away from and ended up on the cold streets got drunk from a drunken man ended up in your stables and you came here to sleep with me?! I thought you were different I guess I was wrong. Am leaving and thank you for your hospitality Mr raymond" I said and got out of the room running toward the door but he ran after me and held me back " please don't go am so sorry I miss judge you. I am sorry that I wanted to .." he couldn't say it. I couldn't stay here any more call me hot headed but It was worth it " am sorry but i can't stay any longer I need to leave what will people say. Infact am not married to you and am living in an unmarried man house what will people call me a prostitute " I said at first I didn't care what people say but with him I don't think am save" then marry me melody, yes i am very attracted to you that why I couldn't control myself " i got shocked so he thinks if i agree to marrying him i will sleep with him, never! " Am sorry but I can't" then I ran out from his home and life .
