The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

Chapter29

The next few days were rather tiring but thriving.

Every morning I got up for training.

Trained till 8 and then continued to do my maid duties, as soon I got free at 8 pm, Dom used to again take me for more training.

I can’t beat the shit out of a person, but I have surely leaned to defend myself and wield a sword.

By the time I hit the sack in Dom’s room, I feel like my arms and legs are jelly and numb.

I am exhausted to this extend that I feel asleep within seconds.

But again that’s a part of becoming stronger.

No pain, no gain as the wording goes.

Dom has been my guru.

I follow whatever he says blindly and he is right most of the time.

We have grown closer since that night.

At times when I am half asleep I have seen him casually sitting on the sofa, awake.

I don’t know if he has insomnia or he is doing this to make sure I sleep peacefully.

But either way I feel protected and cared for with him.

He is my only salvation in this pack of cold hearted hateful people.

And yes, not to forget about Fin.

He is a great guy, bad thing that he doesn’t know I am a woman.

He is the only make buddy of Han Lee, you can say.

There have been no threat letters or attacks anymore.

Its like that man has pulled back for now and I couldn’t help be thankful.

Enjoy the little peace while it lasts.

Dom has been trying to find out who this person is but there are no clues.

The person is really clever.

Dom also showed me around the place and the barn became my favourite.

There were different animals there and whenever I get free time I go there.

I like healing the animals there and spending time with them whenever I could.

Its the only thing that gives me happiness.

It was dusk time and I was sweeping the floors of the lobby clean.

My clothes were a bit drenched in the muddy water and my eyes were weary.

I was really tired today.

I just wanted to sleep.

Suppressing a yawn I continue to do my work, ignoring the people intentionally stepping on the wet floor just to irritate

me.

When all of a sudden a commotion hits the place.

The maids and staff staff start running past me, gossiping towards the main door and I furrow my brows in confusion.

Your highness is here!”

Not just that, he has brought in a surprise.

”

Gosh, I am so excited.

Surprise?

Not able to stop myself, I put aside the mop and pat dry my wet hands on my clothes to follow the crowd.

They all turn around to look at me, and then chuckle and gossip like I am some joker for their museum.

Ignoring them I step forward and my heart leaps in my chest staring at the person stepping down from the carriage.

Xavier was back.

His eyes connect with mine but he doesn’t say anything.

Rather his expression hardens.

I look at him in confusion still not knowing what the commotion is about when he offers his hand to someone beside him, and that’s when for a few seconds I forgot to breathe.

A woman steps forward from behind him, her fingers clasp with his and I feel something churn in my stomach.

She was a beautiful woman.

.

Almost like a doll.

Her blonde hair shined under the sun like strands of sunlight and her fair spotless skin radiated a light which I am sure is enough to blind any man and make him fall in love with her.

She wore an elegant red dress, wrapping around her finger, highlighting her perfect curves, those full blossoms and an

hourglass figure.

Oh my gosh who is she?”

‘She is beautiful.

”

“Is Your Highness going to replace the murderer girl with her?”

“He better does.

I like this woman already.

I mean just look at her.

”

A strange dagger gets twisted inside my chest as I see Xavier smiling at her genuinely.

The smile he has never given me.

Holding her hand in his, he walks her in and with every step they take closer to me, my blank face cracks.

He was coming closer.

.

Closer and my eyes drop immediately.

I couldn’t look.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

It’s like he was publicly mocking me by making a woman stand right in front of me, telling me how easily I can be replaced.

Telling everyone what my worth was in his life.

Nothing.

Useless.

Gulping, I stand my ground.

Clenching my dress and closing my

eyes, expecting him to walk past me.

But his shining black shoes suddenly stop beside me, along with her clicking heel.

I was breathing heavily, looking at anything except him.

When I feel his scent flood over me and I close my eyes.

“Prepare my room and get your new Madam a cup of tea, she is tired.

”

He whispers in my ear and my eyes snap up to meet his.

He can’t be fucking serious.

I am not going to be some maid to his whores.

Everyone was looking at us and I decided not to create a scene here, clenching my fists I avoid his eyes and he inhales my scent to smirk.

“Yes Your Highness.

”

“My obedient doll.

”

He tugs on my fringe to smirk and it took everything in me to not smack his handsome face.

Just like that he walks away from me and I finally drop my tensed shoulders.

Everyone was looking at me, degrading me with their looks but then I am getting somewhat immune to this.

If their King disrespects me like this… how can I expect his people to behave with me in a civil manner.

Balancing the tray in my hands I knock on his bedroom door to hear strange sounds from inside Probably the woman moaning, my cheeks flare red and I gulp to knock again.

Is.

.

Is this why he called me here?

The door finally opens and my hands tremble seeing the scene in front of me.

His torso was naked, but thankfully his boxers were still on.

His eyes look at me in disgust as he moves aside to make way for

me,

Serve it.

”

He orders and I look up to wish I hadn’t.

She… the woman was almost naked.

The red dress from earlier pooling on the floor.

She just had her bra and panties on and them being almost transparent left nothing to imagine.

She looks at me with a smirk, her blue eyes shining.

So this is your wife, your highness? I must say…”

She is rather hideous.

”

She starts giggling on her own sentence like it was the joke of the millennium.

And my grip on the tray tightens.

This bitch.

It’s going to take a lot more than control to keep my hands to

myself.

Putting on a fake smile I just ignore her comment.
