Chapter 71 - Memories(3) (1/2)

In the room, Jonas and Gwen were staring at each other, a palpable tension in the air.

Gwen was the sort of person who was passive about everything, the kind of person who let things happen to them, and never took control of the wheels of her life.

But she was also intelligent. She knew, deep down, that this was all a ploy laid by Meredith, but she went along with it, appearing docile and submissive In truth, she also greatly desired Jonas just like every other girl in the kingdom. But she was not pushy or forward about it. She just had him in her imagination.

Jonas, was feeling like there was a huge chunk of himself locked deep inside of him. His tongue became loose, his hands became unable to stay still. It was as though an external force was pushing him.

He reached for this strange girl whom his mother had offered to him as his wife to be.

He found her to be incredibly repulsive. But right now, this drugged Jonas didn't care. He just needed a release.

He lunged towards her and grabbed her, searching for the mounds of breasts pushed up by her corset.

They fell into the bed dressed with the finest sheets. The room smelt heavenly too, and there were candles on his bedside. Jonas wanted to ask where they had come from, but he was too lost, too buried in himself.

White sheets, soft skin, sweet smells, a strange moan. Those were the only things Jonas could remember.

***

The next morning, he had woken up, feeling refreshed and in control. He looked to his side and found a female form sprawled on his sheets, her face obscured by a tangle of red hair.

H screamed.

Gwen woke up and hurriedly picked up her clothes, trying in vain to conceal her nakedness.

Jonas stood over her, glaring at her with so much anger that she shrunk into herself. She grimaced

”You.” Jonas snarled as he took another intimidating step towards her. ”You, filthy thing. How could you ever think I could love someone like you? How could you ever conceive that idea?”

He took another step and Gwen retreated farther and farther. She wished the walls would open up and swallow her.

”I do not know what you did to me. Love potions? Did you take a strand of my hair have you been spying on me, looking out for places I have visited so you can take a piece of me I have shed behind for your nasty charms?”

Gwen remained whimpering.

”Answer me!” Jonas roars. Gwen flinches and mutters, ”No…no.”

Jonas sighed. He ran his hands through his hair and looked at her again, this time, with a hint of tiredness and disgust in his eyes.

”Leave my chambers. I never want to see you again. Ever.”
