White Rose by Gao Yang (ink book reader .TXT) 📕

"Don't pull yourself. It won't help. Besides, we have all day. Let's enjoy that time together in here." He giggled at her ways of trying to get away. "You can't get away now." He said as he tied a cloth around her mouth, stopping her from screaming for help.

His hand ran up and down on her sides, tickling her, teasing her, making her body move from side to side. She didn't enjoy it one bit; she screamed for help but it was useless. The man had her in his hands and she couldn't get away from him.

The man unclipped her bra, exposing her bare breasts. She breathes heavily as he massaged her breasts, squeezing them. She squealed as he touched her breasts.

She was doing everything in her will to resist the man.

Wasn't there someone to help her? Where was Mia? And Aaliyah? And Cameron?

She watched as the man played with her breasts. She sighed in relief as he backed away, but he came back in as he ripped off the bottom of her dress. She shook her head, begging him to not do what she didn't want him to do: taking her virginity.

"Oh, I see. I got a virgin mistress in my hands." He said as he looked at her exposed body; he ran his hand, starting from her chest down her stomach. She squirmed as he was going lower and lower.

"I promise I'll be very slow and gentle with you." She watched as his hands were caressing her inner thighs. What's the use anymore?

"What's the point of resisting anymore? No one can save you now." She closed her eyes as he went in between her legs and made her feel him against her body. "Besides, you can't run away from a man who desires sex, especially from the woman who makes him very hard."

"Miss Isabella?! Miss Isabella? Miss Isabella?!" Mia and Aaliyah ran through the halls of the palace, looking for her, but couldn't find her.

Then they bumped into Bryce and Percy, they saw how the two servants were looking for something.

"Are you looking for someone?" Aaliyah curtsied quickly.

"My lords, Miss Isabella has gone missing. We've been looking for her for the past half hour." Aaliyah said quickly.

"Yes. After we got her dressed, we were both knocked out by something or someone. And when we woke up, she was missing!" Byce and Percy looked at each other. "Please help us find her!" Mia got down on her knees and begged them.

"Please we can't delay anymore time. She may be in danger." Then something sparked in Bryce's mind, it was the night before when he found Isabella in the alleyway.

What the man told him that night: I'm one of the Courtiers in court. I can do anything I want to any woman as I wish.

"Let's go find her now!" Bryce said but Percy was left confused.

"Wait! We don't even know who this girl is!" Bryce breathed in and sighed.

"Percy, let's just help them?" Percy didn't want to go on a wild mistress chase, but be didn't want to sit there and wait.

"Okay. I'll help." They nodded.

"Isabella!" Bryce shouted as he ran through the halls.

They all looked for her for an hour and still couldn't find her. Mia and Aaliyah felt stupid for leaving her after she got dressed, but right now the person who worried her the most was Bryce. He found her in the alley the night before, and she could in danger by one of the Courtiers.

"Where is she? We've been looking for an hour!" Mia said. "I should've never left her in the dressing room." Mia cried out as she fell to knees. "My lords, kill me right now! I'm the one who left her alone!"

"Mia, don't! Get up!" Aaliyah said as she helped Mia back up. "It's not your fault." But she refused to get up.

Bryce couldn't stand having one of the servants kneeling and begging him to kill them. "Mia, don't blame yourself so harshly. Get up." He said to her, kindly. "The one place we haven't checked is the dark hallway on the west side." Bryce said.

"But no one's been down there for years, not since the first ascending throne of the first king." Aaliyah said as she held Mia.

"We should at least go and check. The imposter who pretended to be one of us, must've led her down there." Mia said as Aaliyah released her.

They all agreed and went down to the dark side in the west of the palace. They all walked down the dark passageway together. They all felt a cold wind breeze from the hall, then they heard a muffled scream from one of the rooms.

"Mistress!" Mia and Aaliyah whispered.

"Besides, you can't run away from a man who desire for sex, especially from the woman who makes him very hard."

Bryce slowly opened the door of where the voice was coming from. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, a man on top of Isabella.

He slowly walked up behind the man and forcefully pushed him off of her. He saw Isabella and helped the untied the ropes around her wrist. Mia and Aaliyah ran up to her and covered her naked body with the blanket. Isabella's eyes were filled with tears and fear.

Percy came in and pinned down the man who was about to rape her. "Who are you?" Bryce asked as he finished untying the ropes.

The man just chuckled and didn't answer. "Okay, then we shall bring you to the king himself." Percy picked up the man and dragged him out the door.

Bryce followed Percy out the door, but stopped to look at Isabella. She didn't bare to look at him, yet it broke his heart to see her like this.

She pulled her legs together, hugging them and sat there and cried.

"Mistress, we can't stay here. We both know how scared you are now, but we cannot stay here." Aaliyah said as they both helped Isabella up to her feet, but she lost her balance and almost fell over.

They brought her out of the room and down the hallway. They both had to hold her, in order to keep her on her feet.

Her eyes were getting sleepy and her body was exhausted. Her breath was getting heavy and it was getting harder for her to breath. Her wrists were red and looked bruised from the ropes. Then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Mistress!" Mia shouted as she fell over her. Bryce heard the shout and quickly turned around, running back. When he got there, he saw Isabella on the ground, passed out. He quickly ran up to her.

"Mistress!" Mia cried out.

Bryce carried her bridal-style and brought her back to her room chamber with Mia and Aaliyah behind him.

Aaliyah opened the door for Bryce to go inside her room, Mia rushed over to the bed and opened the covers for Bryce to place her in.

He put her in her bed, and quickly covered her bare body with the blanket.

"Mia, make sure when she wakes up, she should take another bath and get her a new dress." Mia nodded. "I'm gonna go find Nash and see if he's already seen with the king."

Bryce quickly left her room chamber, leaving her with Mia and went to find Nash.

Bryce then heard yelling from Imperial dungeon, the interrogating room. "Who are you and why would you take a mistress?!" Percy yelled at the man. He walked in, his eyes changed into a different color.

Bryce grabbed the man by the neck, forcing him to lift his head. Percy's mouth dropped, shocked as he saw who it was.

"Why isn't it our good old friend, Sebastian." He smirked.

"Who else could it be?" Bryce still had him by the throat. "Go ahead, Bryce. Choke me." He hissed at him; his eyes changed color into a dark raging red.

"Wait Bryce!" Percy stopped him. "It's almost time for the Fall Festival, now's not the time for killing someone." Bryce looked at Percy and he nodded.

"Fine then. Since it's the Fall Festival tonight, I won't kill you. But when it's done, I will." Bryce growled as he released Sebastian's neck.

"Guards! Make sure he doesn't get out. If he does, don't spare him." The guards bowed, obeying their orders.

Bryce and Percy left the interrogating room from the dungeons.

"Mistress." Isabella woke up from her long nap and looked around her surroundings, she was back in her chamber.

"Mia, what time is it?" She asked while sitting up.

"It's one in afternoon. You've been resting for quite a long time." Mia said as she helped Isabella up. She looked down and she had no clothes on, then she remembered what happened.

"Mistress, don't be scared. I'm here now. No one can hurt you." Mia said as she sat down down on her bed.

"You-you led me down to that dark hallway-" Mia shook her head.

"No. No. It wasn't me. It was someone pretending to be me." Mia said in her defense.

Isabella saw no lie in Mia's eyes, then she pulled her legs to her chest and hugged them. "If it wasn't you, then who was it?" She said as she started crying.

"I don't know. But right now you need to get ready for tonight." She looked at Mia, scared. "I won't go anywhere this time." Isabella nodded as she carefully got out of bed. Mia helped her out of bed to go to the bathing room.

"I've prepared warm water for you to relax your mind and body." Isabella nodded and thanked Mia.

"Thanks Mia." She stepped into the water and sat down and thought about so many things that's happened to her in the past couple days.

An hour later

"Bryce, I think you should tell this Isabella about this." Bryce shook his head.

"No, at least not yet. Besides, what can I tell her?" He stopped by the window, looking at the sky growing darker.

"Just say-"

"Say what to her? 'I'm a vampire.'" Percy stood there and shaking his head. "Yeah, I'm sure she'll have a wonderful time trying to understand what I'm saying." He said sarcastically.

"You're gonna have to tell her sooner or later." Bryce's hand curled into a fist.

"No. I'll find some other time to tell her. But it's not right now."

"Bryce, you don't even know her that well. Plus I think she's already accepted the fact that she's in-" Percy paused as Byrce zoomed out of sight. "Danger." Percy finished his sentence and sighed.

"You haven't even known her for at least a year, and yet you still act like you've been into her so deeply."

It was almost time for the Fall Festival which was taking place tonight at night; everyone was finishing up with the stage.

"Mistress, here let me help you." Mia said as she helped Isabella with her new dress. The dress was a long silk dress that covered her feet. The dress was designed in a pattern from the straps to her waist area. While her hair was curled at the ends and flowed nicely onto her, Mia pinned strands of her hair up and added a flower crown on top.

Clips of images were flashing through her mind, what happened to her earlier, the man, all the things he told her.
