Chapter 3 Punished

"Don't count the days, make the days count."

Aleandro

I groan inwardly as I stretched my arms and flutter my eyes open.

I wet my bottom lip with my tongue and that's when everything from the previous night flood my brain.

Oddly I can't recall what happened last night–ughh–I-- only remember this girl cuffing me to my own bed and having sex with me forcefully.

I've always been the one to do all the work when it comes to having sex–my energy is usually drained and I'm never usually satisfied even after ejaculating––but somehow, I'm satisfied.

I wet my bottom lip as realization hit me hard in my face once again.

I had to feel her walls again.

The warmth.

The strokes.

The pleasure.

It's nothing I've ever felt before-–and now I need more.

More of her.

I turned over on my side to see if I could take a glimpse of her beauty, as the night before she had on a mask, and the sex was too good for me to rip it off of her face.

Only she wasn't here–she was gone. It's like she was never here. I sniff the sheets remembering how good she smelled, and there her scent was--- still lingering around my room and even the sheets smelled like her.

How can one woman smell so good?

Despite the need to find the woman I shared a moment with, I was confused and I have so many questions.

Did she go around fucking every good-looking man she sees?

I got angry just thinking of the possibility that the mystery woman was a player. She must've done this before.

I walk towards my bathroom to take a shower–maybe it will help with the killer headache I'm having right now.

I was already naked so it didn't take long for the warm water to drizzle on my body.

I looked down at my dick to see love bites, ugh–weird. Seems like last night was a wild night--- I sighed taking in everything that had happened the previous night. How did I manage to fall asleep so sudden?

The fact that my muscles aren't tensed made a sly grin form on my face.

I could definitely get used to this.

Mia

I was up early today. My muscles are still a bit sore from carrying out so many activities with Aleandroast night. I managed to slip away before I got caught.

I was sure to take all the items I had on me not wanting the prince to find out the truth.

I had everything all set at the table, the meals were all placed at the right spots. I then looked up at my watch to check the time and as expected the time read 7:00 AM...

I shifted on my feet uncomfortably when the people inside of the palace including Aleandro, Catty, King Julian and Queen Catherine approach the broad table.

I looked up only when the Queen cleared her throat. I bowed out of respect then blurt out... "Your highest."

"Join us for breakfast, you must be starving." Queen Catherine murmured with a fake smile... "After all that hard work you must be exhausted, so why not take a seat."

I knit my eyebrows in confusion as the words registered in my head. I swallowed hard before I replied back hastily–– the last thing I want is to be watched by the people who remind me how worthless I am. "Thanks, but I'm full. Maybe another time."

"Suit yourself, you bitch. People around the castle are dying for the Queen to grant them a request and here you are turning down her offer." Aleandro scoffed... "You should be ashamed of yourself.

"I've made it clear that I'm not hungry, Prince Aleandro. Will you force me to eat with the people that despise me?" I asked through gritted teeth, forgetting that other people was present at the table.

"Have you forgotten that we've placed a roof over your head? We feed you, clothe you, pay you and this is the thanks we get in return. We took you in when both of your parents needed nothing but your head and you disrespect us like this, Mia. Guards take her away, be sure to have her begging for her life." King Julian barked at the guards in anger before looking at me with hatred.

Mia

Before I could say anything, I was pulled harshly by two guards, before they pulled me away, I turned my attention on Prince Aleandro only to see him smirking.

I rolled my eyes and looked away before my punishment increased. I tried to fight the guards that grip my arms and waist too tight, but I earned myself a slap across my left cheek.

I bite the inside of the cheek the moment I felt a sting in my jaw. I charged at the guy that slapped me across my cheek, and kick him in his crotch, only to hear him cry out...

"You stupid, bitch."

That wasn't a good idea but it was enough to make a smirk appear on my face. I opend my mouth to argue with the guard but then Aleandro himself came to the guard's aid and he punished me afterward.

I huffed in anger as the prince punish me with the whip he held in his thick big hands.

Hours later...

He spanked me for as long as I can remember, making sure to bruise my skin. Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks, and for once I felt dying was better off for me, I mean what's the point in living anyway?

I couldn't keep quiet any longer an I blurt out... "How would you feel if someone raised their hands at you? Look at what you did to me, you do know this is abuse right?"

"You deserved everything that has happened to you, you're a nobody can't you see?" Prince Aleandro asked rudely.

"You should be a shame of yourself, you raised your hands at a woman, you disrespect and belittle me!! How would you feel if this was your mother or your sister? Let me guess you wouldn't show any mercy." Mia spats back angrily.

Aleandro

I couldn't look at Mia––she was right. I felt guilty for punishing her when she did nothing wrong, all she did was turn down my mother's offer––but I had to open my big mouth.

I left without answering Mia, I already made her life miserable. I've already done enough. But before I left I heard Mia broke down and it shattered my heart into pieces.

How can I ever make it up to her?
