《Marrying the Capo》Chapter Seventeen
Advertisement
I was woken up when the bed moved. When I opened up my eyes, I immediately saw suitcases. I immediately sat up and looked around.
Nicolas came out of the bathroom exactly after taking a bath. I held my breath as I glanced over at his muscular body. I stiffened when I saw his six pack abs while there was still water dripping and only a towel covered the bottom.
"Are you just going to stare at me? Our flight is early so get the fuck up and take a shower. I'm done packing your things." I looked at him confused.
"Where are we going?" Nicolas frowned at what I said and stopped wiping his hair and looked at me as if he couldn't believe what I asked. I bit my lower lip because of his deadly stare.
"Go and take a bath. I don't want people to act like turtles."
"But-"
"Try asking me again and I'm going to bath you. Do you want that?"
I shook my head and then he went back to wiping his hair. I clung to the blanket and squeezed the headboard. When I didn't move he turned to me again. His forehead furrowed when he saw what did I do. He started walking towards me so I was alerted. I immediately got up and went down to the other side of the bed.
"You really want me to bathe you, huh."
"You wish."
"Then, why are you still here? Ahh ... do you want me to get dressed in front of you or do you just want to see me naked?"
"No way! I'm going to take a shower."
I pushed myself to the bathroom. When I closed the door I immediately shouted in irritation. "He's really annoying! What does he think of himself? He's such a fucking-I don't know! So annoying!"

I gasped at my scream. I heard Nicolas laugh outside so I stopped and pressed my ear to the door. That's new. I just heard him laugh. Add to that how sweet she was last night. What does he look like when he laughs?
I just smiled and then started to take off my clothes to take a bath. When Nicolas was no longer in the room, I immediately got dressed. I went downstairs and went to the kitchen and they were all right there. I'm just the only one who wasn't there. Are they waiting? Yeah of course they are.
Elizabeth smiled when she saw me. "Good morning, sweetheart. Are you sleeping well?"
Embarrassed, I nodded at her. As I sat there I felt the scary vibe. Cold and super intense. I stepped aside from Nicolas who was busy on his phone. Immediately, a maid came over and prepared my breakfast.
"Eat up. Our flight is coming up." Nicolas said coldly.
That's when I found out that we were on our honeymoon. This is my first time I can go to Italy so I am excited. I was even more excited when I found out we were going to board their private plane.
But the excite I felt earlier suddenly disappeared. I was so bored inside. Nicolas is in front of his laptop while Alfred is busy on his phone. I'm just here in the corner with nothing to entertain. An attendant approached me.
"Ma'am, do you need anything? Food, drinks, or snack?"
I shook. "Thank you but I'll be fine."
"Are you sure, ma'am?" I just nodded then went back to the incline and watched the clouds in the window.
I woke up with a soft cloth covering my body. When I woke up I saw Alfred's back walking back. I smiled.

Alfred cares about me unlike the others out there. I turned to Nicolas where he was sitting. I saw him sound asleep and with a blanket as well. It was dark outside. I saw Alfred approaching me. He already has food with him.
"Good and you're awake. You're the only one who hasn't eaten yet. Eat that."
"Thank you." He was about to leave when I saw something on his arm. "Wait. Is that dirt?" I was about to hold it when he suddenly shook my hand so I was surprised.
"It's nothing." He immediately lowered his sleeve and left in front of me. My forehead furrowed.
'What was that? Why did he shake my hand? That was hurt.'
I just shook my head and then started eating. That's right, I'm still hungry. When I finished, I put the food aside and soon an attendant came and took them. I adjusted my seat. Looking for fun when I saw Nicolas' phone flashing. I looked at Nicolas. He's still asleep. I looked back at his phone.
Maybe it's not bad for me to look at that. What if it's important? I don't want him to wake up, he still looks very tired. I picked up his phone and opened it. I saw on the lockscreen a message from Fiona.
See you in Italy. I can't wait to be with you. I miss you already and I...
That was all I saw but that was enough to make my chest tighten. My eyes are getting hot. I immediately returned his phone and went straight to the bathroom. I don't know but my tears flowed when I closed the door. My chest tightened even more and I also had difficulty breathing.
"Ma'am? Are you okay?" I bit my hand to not to make any sound. Forced to calm myself down. The attendant knocked on the door again. "Ma'am if there's a problem just tell me."
Why am I hurting? I shouldn't be hurt because I don't love Nicolas. Why is it like this? What's happening to me?
There was another knock on the door. "Cass, are you okay?" My face lifted when I heard Nicolas' voice outside. "Open the door."
I immediately wiped away the tears and calmed myself. But I knew that the swelling in my eyes would not escape from Nicolas.
I opened the door and Nicolas frowned at me. "Are you okay?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah."
"As far as I can see, you're not. Your eyes and the bridge of your nose are swollen, did you cry?"
Yeah. Nothing will escape from Nicolas. Even if I denied that things he will not buy it by the looking at me.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.
