28 ~ You are Mine

Ryan POV

"Open the door,"

I commanded the guard.

Both the guards moved to open the huge door and it was kind of racing my heart beats slowly.

We were close to a deadly war and this knock somehow increased the fear.

My sight fell on two guards holding a woman, they had caged her badly and along with them was a high rank soldier.

"My Lord,"

He said entering the courtroom with fear while the guards dragged that lady into the room too.

"Why have you caged the lady with chains?"

I asked the high ranked soldier.

"My Lord, this lady just sent a letter through pigeon,"

"A letter by pigeon?"

I asked, lifting one of my eyebrows.

"Yes, my lord and I have doubts that she is planning something against us. Also, she was a Letter deliver in Reges Empire who accepted our slavery. I mean there is no family for her. Why did she send the letter?"

Now, his argument made sense to me.

"And now she even not disclosing it,"

He finished.

"Who is she?"

I asked.

"She is Alice, my lord,"

One of the guards who had caged her in the chains told me.

I stood up and stepped down the throne to her. Along with me, everyone was in a dilemma. We were all slightly afraid.

"To whom you sent the letter?"

I asked, looking at her.

But, instead of answering she started laughing.

"You will know that soon,"

She said laughing.

I feathered my forehead in anger as she was misbehaving right now.

"I am asking one last time, TO WHOM YOU SENT THE LETTER AND ON WHOSE COMMAND?"

My words dripped insanely as I did. We were already in trouble and then this lady messed it all up.

"I ain't gonna tell you ever,"

But, before I could answer anything there was a loud scream.

"ALICE!!!"

I stood frozen as I saw Cassandra running into the courtroom with tears.

My eyebrows thinned in a row as I saw her looking at me pleading eyes as she said.

"Ryan, please leave her, she did nothing,"

This one sentence cleared everything. My blood boiled with anger and my hand instantly cupped her cheek.

"Whom you sent the letter?"

Tears rolled down her eyes as she said.

"She is not at mistake. Leave her first,"

"We aren't negotiating Cassandra,"

I yelled at her.

She closed her eyes in fear and begged more.

"Please, she didn't do anything. I sent the letter,"

"To whom?"

I asked.

She looked at me with teary eyes and muttered slowly.

"To my fiance,"

This particular word shook me to the core and left her cheek with a jerk.

"Kill her,"

I said looking at Alice. My eyes burning with anger.

"RYAN, PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU. SHE IS A MOTHER, SHE HAS A BABY, PLEASE!!!"

She screamed and held my collars. Her lips were trembling while I heard the scream of Alice as she was protesting when one of the soldiers pulled out the sword.

"Leave me,"

She screamed with pain.

"Ryan, please, kill me instead, anything you want, please leave her, I am begging you,"

She pleaded insanely.

"Throw her in the dungeons,"

I ordered the guards and they did so. I changed my plan of killing her but I wanted to kill this lady instead.

I held her hand and started walking as fast as I could to my chamber.

She was protesting but my mind was insanely mad.

I pushed the door open and closed it by pushing her against the door. My hand caged her neck and a few more tears slipped her eyes.

"You have a fiance?"

I asked in anger. I didn't know why this information hurt me all of sudden. She had a fucking fiance and never told me.

She tried to nod her face but was not able to move her head.

She was trying to push me away but it was impossible right now.

She blinked slowly as if she was on the verge of losing consciousness. I left her neck in a jerk and she coughed badly struggling for a breath.

"How come you never told me about this?"

I asked in anger and she looked into my eyes with the teary one.

"I think you forgot, that I am your whore not friend,"

She spatted back with anger and my hand moved to cup her cheek. We were dangerously close to each other and the sexual tensions had started increasing already.

I didn't know why the hell I was feeling this way.

"Answer my damn question Cassandra. Why the hell did you send a letter to your fiance. You are my slave, my whore, you are fucking mine,"

She chuckled all of a sudden.

"Am I a cow or something, who is yours? Do I have any tags that belong to you? You have just possessed me against my will. I am not yours, and never will be,"

She muttered and I just stepped a little closer. She held my wrist and said.

"You are mine only, do you understand,"

"I am not yours, I can never be yours, I can never be of my brother's murderer,"

My grip on his neck tightened as I yelled.

"THAT FUCKING BROTHER OF YOURS RAPED AND KILLED MY SISTER,"
