Prologue
Axel Mortmain ran a hand over his desk, shattering all his papers of inventions and plans for the next move to take miss Gray away from the shadowhunters.
Unfortunately had Nathaniel Gray been a part of the plan and now he was dead.
The anger Mortmain felt made him see red everywhere and made him lust for blood. The blood from the shadowhunters.
A knock came from the door and in stepped a maid, small but curvy. Maybe she could keep his mind of things by spending the night with him. She would probably be a good replacement of miss Gray till the wedding night, he tought watching the made from head to toe.
"Is there something you need master Mortmain?" The maid said with a wavering voice and the eyes looking down on the tree floor.
"Yes actually Margret you can" he responded walking closer to the small girl. Looking closer he could see her whole body shake from fear. Good, he tought.
Reaching out a hand Mortmain started stroking Margret's cheek with his knuckles and he could feel rather than see how uncomfortable with him caressing her cheek.
"You have to spend the night with me" When she heard what Mortmain told her head snapped up and stared at him wide-eyed. "You can't possibly be serious, Master. What about miss Gray?"
"Oh I know about miss Gray but have you seen her around here?" Axel asked. The maid shook her head.
"Exactly! And that why I need you to please me" he continued.
"Why me!?" she cried out without warning. Mortmain's temper started to rise.
"Because you are here now and I can't wait for another maid to come to my room. So now do as you are told and please me" Mortmain saw tears formed in Margret's eyes but did as she had been told.
The maid dress pooled around her as Mortmain started to open her corset. With the last flick of his hand the corset followed the dress and the camisole close up.
Aware of her exposed breasts she pulled her arms over her chest, trying to hide as much as possible but in no vain. Mortmain had a hard grip of her arms so he could se her feminine beauty.
Small breast with rosy nipples was in his sight and he could feel his manhood twitch in is pants. But he could still think that miss Gray probably had bigger breasts and would be a lot more interesting in the bed then this terrified girl who silently sobbed.
"Now, shall we begin darling?" he asked with a wicked grin.
It was pitch black outside wich was strange with tought of that the summer had just ended.
It had been weeks and Mortmain had heard about Tessa's and James Carstair's engagement wich angered him even more. But he had a plan.
It involved a trap with his automatons and Jessamine Lovelace. She was to be freed from the silent city by the silent brothers and Mortmain was going to have a carriage following them with a few automatons in the ride with Mrs Black and then kidnap miss Gray.
The candles light flickered and then died with a strange wind sweeping away all warm source in the drawing-room to Mortmain house.
"Axel Mortmain" said a whisper from the dark.
"Who's there?" Axel asked picking up a gun he always had with him. "Show yourself!"
"If you say so" the voice responded waking out of the dark with an evil grin. Mortmain immediately knew who it was.
"How can you still be alive?" he asked, his voice wavering a little and eyes big like sources. It felt like he saw his past come to life right in front of him.
"Think of this as a payback" the man in front of Mortmain said, rising a gun and pulled the trigger without blinking.
Axel didn't react fast enough and the bullet penetrated his heart.
He fell to the floor on his knees and felt the blood slowly ooze ut of the wound. Pain shot all over his body and he could feel the world shatter apart around him. He looked up at the man who still held the gun and saw black spots dance on his vision.
He was dying and there was nothing he could do.
"Goodbye Axel" said the man with the still evil grin on his face. He lifted the gun and placed it on Mortmain's forehead.
"Forgive me father. I have failed you." Mortmain said his last words under his breath, but hoping that his father had heard them from where he now was either it was in heaven or hell, he didn't care.
The trigger was pulled and Mortmain swam away in an endless blackness, never returning to the world.
