CHAPTER ONE: NOTHING LIKE THE RUMORS
Snow did according to what her
father ordered her, she is only to smile and
accept wh@ťěver this people ask of her. No she
isn’t a princess but a noble daughter, a daughter
people refer to as a witch because she has the
fairest skin of all and her eyes capable of
changing colour from blue to dark brown.
Just as a witch.
I have been made to believe my whole life
means nothing, am born to serve people, do
their bidding just because I have the strangest
body anyone could ask of ” my lord ” I bow my
head when lord Mellon step into the room
assign for people who wishes to have a word
with me.
Now that is something I should be grateful for,
even if my father use me for money, he doesn’t
permit these men to touch me intimately, they
can only see, talk and hit me, nothing else.
” I heard you have the sharpest tongue ” he pull
out a chair and sit calmly ” I will like to see
those witches eyes, you can rise your head now
” nodding I follow his commands.
My eyes right now remain blue, I do not control
them, they change when they wish to and
whenever they do, the weirdest thing happen,
the man will bow to my command, he will obey
and worship me.
Surly these are powers that a witch might
possess, must be why my father is scared of
angering me” why aren’t they changing ”
” for your own good my lord” I fake a smile ” the
saying goes, when it changes the power of the
witch manifests ”
” hmm” lord Mellon stand to his feet and I take
his appearance in, not tall, dark eyes, brown hair
and awfully ugly, my father should have at least
reject his money to see me ” so the saying is
true ”
” am afraid so my lord”
He walk closer to my direction, those cold hands
engage with my skin ” a skin as white as snow”
he smile ” eyes blue as sky and lips red as
blood…these are rumors I have heard and I must
say” he lean closer” you don’t disappoint, you
are one of the kind ”
Stepping back I look around the small room, just
one chair and nothing else ” I believe you
remember that you can’t touch me ”
” but I can hit you can’t I?” He smirk and I had to
swallow my fear, this is yet another night where
I get beaten just for fun ” but I won’t ” his words
made my brows furrow up while his face is fill
with amusement ” I just bought you for a million
silver coins ” I gasp shaking my head ” so my
beautiful snow, I can do with you as I wish”
shaking my head I watch him lick his lips and
chuckle.
” my father will never agree to this!”
” that old man will do anything for money ” lord
Mellon smile ” that’s why I keep saying, money
buys everything ”
” but…”
” stop talking and come with me, I don’t have all
day ” when he step out I walk behind him, out of
the room, my gaze searching everywhere for my
father and when it land on him, I lift my red
dress up a little and run towards his direction ”
father!” Yelling I hold his hand ” please tell me
that man is lying, you won’t sell me”
He slap my hands from his body ” take that
filthy hands off me !!” I have never seen such
hatred in my father’s eyes before ” I asked for a
daughter not a witch that will tarnish my family
name”
“Why father” a tear drop from my eyes” I never
asked for any of these, I never asked to be
called a witch ” two huge men grab me by my
hand pulling me away ” I never asked to be
cursed!!! ”
Lord Mellon lift his hands and within five
seconds I receive a hot slap that send me to the
floor, with an aching mouth ” from now on you
remember that you’re my property, you don’t go
off running like that ”
Nodding my head I sniff back my tears ” forgive
me milord, I was bring silly ”
” good, now get into the carriage”nodding I did
as he said, my gaze fixed outside as we leave
the club my father built, I have never known
what pain felt until today.
My father selling me wasn’t something I
expected, I do know he h@ťě me, thinking I ki||ed
mum since she died after giving birth to me…I
agree I have lot of short coming but I didn’t
create myself ” stop” Lord Mellon groan
suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, he hold my
hand tightly, dragging me out of the carriage ”
you can go back now ” he speak to the
coachman and I watch the carriage leave.
” where are we going?”
He said nothing, just kept dragging me with him,
deep into the forest, I try pulling away but I just
couldn’t, he wasn’t holding it too tight but it’s
still tight.
With time, I watch him grow taller, with red hair
and different cloth and then it hit me, this isn’t
Lord Mellon but someone else ” who are you” no
respond, this man might be a wizard, what to I
do.
How do I escape.
” don’t think about it snow” he glance back, his
eyes also red ” you can’t escape, my lord wishes
to see this witch the humans keep groaning
about ”
” am not a witch ”
” we know”
” we??” The moment I asked, I notice a castle
ahead and then my fear resurface, do not tell
me the man he refer to as his lord is the man
who lives in the forbidden forest.
The man everyone fears, the man that only
appear under the moonlight, never seen during
the day, skin pale, lips red, eyes blue and voice
deep enough to lead women to sin.
Stepping into the castle my body begin to
tremble as we climb the stairs, the place fill with
statues of demons, evil creatures.
Stepping into a room, the man who pretended to
be Lord Mellon bow his head ” my lord, I have
brought her to you, your curiosity will die the
moment you lay eyes on her…I will take my
leave ” with that the red head man left without
another word and then shut the door.
My heart beat increase from fear, the man back
is still to me, he seem to be looking through the
window ” your heart beat seem too loud young
lady ” I swallow at the sound of his voice, rumor
was right.
” forgive me my lord” my words made him
chuckle a little before turning around to face
me, my head remain down while my body
tremble with fear, if I anger him, I might die, he
might ki|| me
The sound of his footsteps draw closer and
then stop ” lift your head ”
” yes my lord ” doing as he said I swallow at the
intensity of those eyes, he seem to be studying
me carefully, his hands touch my face and I
flinch, didn’t seem to bother him.
” skin white as snow, eyes blue as sky, hair dark
as fine wool, red lips that place shame on roses”
he smile ” rumors are just rumors after all ” I
blink at his words.
” am confused my lord”
His smile widen ” its simple snow “he withdraw ”
you’re ugly…nothing like the rumors ”
