Chapter 145
still Bethany's POV
I don't know how long I've been asleep, but I recall everything. I can feel the turbulence, I know we are still flying and I wondered how long I've been sleeping because it's taking so long to get to our destination, wherever that might be. I am beginning to think that whatever king Ashford used on me can be reversed. The effect is not permanent, at least I wasn't feeling horny while I was knocked out and I wasn't feeling drawn to him as well. I've been awake for a few minutes and I stil don't feel anything for that bastard, just hate and anger. I think it has something to do with me staring at his face or looking into his eyes, I guess that is why he forced me to look at him the other time.
I'm trying so hard to stay still, I don’t want to attract any attention to myself. If he finds out that I am awake, he would force me to look at his face or his eyes, I don't really know where the magic is. But I know that once I look at him again, I'll go back to being the horny w***e that was begging to be f****d. I won't be able to resist him and I would be too smitten by his looks that I wouldn't even remember to fight him off. I still can't believe that I was begging to be screwed, it's so f***+*g embarrassing. I never begged Dominic to f**k me, I never took it seriously when my own father called me a w***e. But now that I think about it, I think he has been right all along. It's not normal to be acting this way all of a sudden, is it?
I guess deep down in my heart, I've always known that I am a w***e, I've always been this horny b***h that can't control her urge, that is why it was so easy for me to succumb to his demands, and that is why it was so easy for me to betray our people. It has always been in me, it's in my blood, after all, I am the daughter of a traitor. Charm or no charm, I will always blame myself for what I have done. Now I understand exactly what Ciara is going through, I know exactly what she is feeling. She blamed herself for everything that happened to her family, that is why she is finding it hard to let go of her vendetta against Fabius. The war is not yet over, King Ashford has not succeeded in destroying our people, but I can already feel the guilt gnawing at my heart. It's been only a couple of hours and the guilt is suffocating me already. How on earth will I live with myself if he wins this war because of the information I gave to him, the guilt will certainly kill me faster than any wolfsbane.
At least I get to have a few hours to myself before he tried to wake me up and warp my brain again with his magical tricks. Dominic had mentioned that he has some moles in king Ashfords palace, they may be of help to me, they could help me escape I just have to pretend to be asleep so he doesn't make me look into his eyes again. If he uses his charm on me again, I'm not sure I would be able to think straight ever again. I heard him talking on the phone with someone, he was telling then that the plan was in motion and everything is now ready
“We are moving on to the final phase, let's get rid of every one of them, then this city and the whole country will be ours. Ge everyone in place, we can't make any mistakes, I need you to personally see to it that everyone takes their roles seriously, we can't afford to make any mistakes, and failure is not an option. If my info is correct, then I'm sure he would be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Set the ambush as planned and seal off every exit. We have an advantage, they have n idea that we have a weapon for the humans as well. Dominic will lead them all here, he will lead them to me and I will rip of their heads one after the other and hang them on the walls of my walls. It will serve as a warning to any man or woman out there that wishes to challenge me!" He said excitedly, making me squeeze my fist tightly so I don't try to punch him hard in the face.
He is a monster, a f*****g monster, that's what he is. But I won't tell him that, I won't say a word to this bastard. The best tactic is to outsmart him, that is my only play. It's either I find a way to outsmart him or I end up as one of his concubines. H was done with his calls and now he is talking to my father and they are talking about tactics and battle strategy. My father is obviously not happy about all this, but he has no f*****g choice. It serves him right, he just got more than he bargained for. things continue 8ke this, I'm sure he will end up dead pretty soon. My guess is that king Ashford will rip off his head before this war is over. I just hope that he lives long enough to witness the end of this war because I am certain that Dominic will win this war, I don't know how he is going to do it, but I trust in his capabilities.
The plane landed a few hours later, but I still lay limp on the couch, pretending to be asleep. I could hear some shuffling as they all got ready to step out of the plane. King Ashford gave the order and some guys came over and lifted me up. I was placed on somebody's shoulder, I'm guessing it was one of the guards. He put me on his shoulder and walked out of the private plane, taking me into a car, then he shut the door after me. I'm guessing he also told the driver to lock the door because I heard the clicking sound of the car lock and I realized that I have been locked in. Yet, I didn't make any move, I jus lay limp, pretending to be asleep.
The other side of the door swung open and I felt the chair dip from the weight of someone that sat right next to me. I could smell him, I knew it was him. I could feel his powerful aura as well, but it's tainted with black magic and it's slightly less intimidating than it is supposed to be. I think he is losing his powers, he is no longer as strong and powerful as he used to be. That must be why he needs black magic to subdue everyone, including his people. If his powers were as strong as they used to be, then I'm not supposed to be thinking these evil thoughts about him. Rather, my neck will be bared in submissior and I will be willing to do anything he asks without complaint. But I don't feel that way, I don’t want to submit to this bastard, all I feel for him is hate and disgust.
“If you want to pretend to be asleep, then at least try to steady your heartbeat so you do not give yourself away. I knew you were awake even before we landed in my territory. I did not bother to call you out on your lies and deceit because I know that there is no way in hell that you are going to escape me. I don't need to use my charms on you because I know that you have nowhere to go and there is no one coming here to save you. I am not going to force you to look at me because I want you to come to terms with your new surroundings and I want you to accept your fate. With time, you will come back to me and you will beg me to screw you, just like you did earlier today. I won't use my powers on you anymore, it is a complete waste. But trust me, you will beg me to claim you a mine, you will beg me to f**k you hard." He told me firmly, moving his hands on my body slowly, making me shut my eyes even tighter. He must be delusional if he thinks that I will come to him, I would rather die than have anything to do with him. His hands on my body irritate me because my eyes are still shut, his black magic is not working on me anymore.
He got tired of toying with my body, then he sat on his side of the car and the driver took off almost immediately. The car moved for a few minutes and then it stopped. I wanted to open my eyes and see where we were headed to, but the fear of getting hooked up in his black magic made me shut my eyes firmly as I tried desperately to avoid any contact with him. I wa: dragged out of the car by some guards, they kept dragging me forward and I did not argue or complain because I would prefer to put as much distance from King Ashford as I can. We stopped at some point and I heard the door clicking open. In few seconds, I was pushed into a room and I heard the sound of someone's voice as he gave me some instructions,
“As much as you can, try to avoid his eyes. Trust no one, not even your personal maids and guards. Dominic is working on a plan” He told me calmly. His voice sounded so strange, yet so familiar. I wanted to open my eyes and see who it was, but I couldn't do it. It seems too good to true, am I getting help from a stranger?
