Chapter 12
The Consequences
A/N: Big warning here! This chapter contains a violet assault scene! I will put a warning again where the scene starts and where it ends but this one will be a bit longer and more graphic than the one before please read at your own risk!
Jacob was furious! He had just finished reading the latest dispatch from Paul on Bella's condition. How dare Rosalie put his lover and heirs at risk! He knew that Bella would have never put their children at risk by trying to escape in her condition so it must have been her arrogant friend's idea.
It was an impulse move on his end to bring Rosalie to the secret manor he had on the outskirts of the Shadowlands. It was a small, unassuming and where he kept his less than honorable dealing. His cousin Paul placed an illusion around the grounds to keep the place hidden. The ladies he employed to attend Bella, save Angela, were also enchanted to not reveal their current location. He wanted Bella to feel comfortable during her pregnancy so he had Rosalie brought.
Currently, Bella was still unconscious from the fall but, she was in stable condition. However, one of the twins she carried did not survive. Jacob swore that he would make Rosalie pay dearly for costing him one of his children. He wanted to head back to the compound and see her, but he was having a problem breaking away now.
When Samuel came to him and told him about the fight with Bella, he suggested to his brother that he take some time at the Bynmor Mountains to clear his head. The Bynmor Mountains were the sacred ground of the Earth Magicians where they could go to commune with the nature around them and Argus, the God of Wildlife and Nature. The climb to get there was no easy task but proved therapeutic to the Rock's people. Samuel took him up on his suggestion, never suspecting his twin brother of malintent. Once Samuel laid the foundation of his disappearance, he made his move.
One would think that as twins, Samuel and Jacob would have a close relationship but that was the furthest thing from the truth. Jacob has always carried a hatred of his brother since they were children. Samuel, being the eldest and heir, was always given more attention than him. While he could never say he was neglected, anything he ever accomplished was always compared to his brother. Anything he did was always overshadowed by Samuel. At the Solar, Samuel advanced a lot faster than he did in the basics of magic and called forward a great wolf to his side as a familiar, whereas he manifested a serpent as his. Since they were twins, the amount of magic they were born with was equal however Jacob wasn't quick to grow his abilities and causing Samuel to fly past him in strength.
However, Jacob felt he was far more intelligent than his twin and more forward-thinking. If he were given the chance, he knew that he could lead the Hallam Clan to greatness. But since Samuel was deemed as heir, he was never given the chance to truly show his potential.
It wasn't fair! He never had to work hard for anything in life. Everything came naturally to him when he struggled and scraped to get to where he was. He didn't think he'd ever be able to stand out of his brother's shadow, that is until he met the beautiful Crown Princess.
Bella Kenna was everything he ever wanted in a woman. Even at the age of 8, he knew that they were meant to be together. He would admire her from afar while at the Solar and dream of the day they would finally be together.
But then everything changed when she met Samuel. He was there when Bella ran into his brother in the courtyard that day and it felt like everything changed in his small world had come crashing down. Once again Samuel has claimed what was rightfully his. How could Argus be so cruel?! How could the one thing he wanted more than anything else in this world be stolen by his twin? Wasn't it enough that Samuel had everything a nobleman could ask for? He had to claim Jacob's woman as well?! That was when he decided, Samuel had to be eliminated.
Jacob was suddenly pulled from his thoughts when a knock came at his door.
"Come," his voice boomed. His mother, Gia, entered his chambers.
"Mother" he greeted his mask of a dutiful son firmly in place. "Has there been any word on Samuel?"
"No, not yet our scouts have just returned. They haven't been able to track him anywhere," Gia replied.
"This is my fault. If I haven't suggested he go to Brymor alone then," he started appearing to upset to continue his statement.
"Oh, my son this is not your fault. You were just trying to give your brother some form of comfort," Gia said, comforting her younger son.
"That's not what father thinks," he replied. His father was always weary of him like Goran knew that he was a bad egg. He was never as close to him as Samuel.
"Stop that. No one blames you. Besides, I came to give you good news. Commander Laurent is coming here to speak with Goran now. I'm sure he will be able to help find Samuel," Gia told him with a smile.
On the outside, Jacob seemed pleased at the news however he was nervous. Commander Laurent was not a man to be trifled with and he had no intention of him picking up his trail so fast. He was sure his little Crya wouldn't betray him. While she wasn't Bella, she was a pleasant necessity for his plans to come to fruition. He would remain faithful to his fiery queen once they were married.
He would need to send word to Paul to handle Rosalie. There was no way he would continue to let her stay in Bella's presence now and she couldn't be allowed to return to her family. She would need to disappear….
Bella stared blankly out into the garden outside the bedroom she attempted to escape from the other day. Once she woke up from her fall not only did, they tell her that id one of her babies died after her fall, but Paul killed Rosalie. She was furious and started kicking and screaming at Angela and her daughter before she felt a pinch in her neck and then darkness. She couldn't believe it. Rosalie, her best friend, and confidante was dead because of her impatience. All she had to do was wait for a proper opening before trying to escape and Rose would still be here. How could she ever face little Amaya, who adored her big sister, or the Kai clan ever again?! The blood of their beloved daughter and her unborn child was on her hands.
She was broken from her thoughts when Angela and Tana came out to the balcony with lunch.
"Good afternoon, ma'am. I got you something light for lunch today," Angela said as she set the small bowel in front of her. "The Sanator will be here shortly for the procedure, and it will be best to not have anything heavy on your stomach at the time".
Bella didn't respond as she processed words. The dead child would need to be removed from her womb to prevent any dangers to the surviving one. As much as she didn't want anyone to touch her, she didn't want to endanger her remaining child either. So, she picked up the spoon and ate without any fuss.
Angela felt bad for the grieving expected mother. She may not have cared much for Lady Rosalie, but she didn't wish her harm. The stress of losing her friend wasn't something Bella should have to deal with at this delicate time. She also couldn't imagine losing a child before they were even born. Angela loved Tana with her entire being and couldn't even fathom having to lose her at any point. She was about to leave when Bella called her name.
"Yes, ma'am".
"What happened to Rosalie's body," Bella asked.
Angela hesitated before saying, "I believe that Jared was charged with returning her to her family".
As she headed out, she couldn't help but think about the lady Rosalie.
'Poor girl,' she thought to herself. Right now, she was sure the girl wished it was true she died that night…
Rose paced back and forth in the room she was assigned. When Paul and his brother caught up with her, she screamed she watched as her friend fell from the high wall. Then she passed out and then the next thing she remembered she was in a different room with four other ladies.
She was confused until they told her where she was. It was a pleasure house owned by Paul and Jared. They brought her here as a punishment for her crimes. Rosalie was astonished. How dare Paul think he had the authority to charge her and punish her for any crime?! And besides, he was the criminal, not her! He was the one who kidnapped both noble ladies and facilitated the rape of one of them!
Right now, she was dressed in the clothes that were given to her, a revealing silk pure white gown that reached her feet. However, the was without sleeves and showed off her breast, leaving very little to the imagination. It was something that Rosalie would never consider wearing and she was terrified of what it implied. The white collar around her neck suppressed and magical abilities so she could use her powers, so she was a sitting duck waiting for the slaughter.
The door opened and Jared walked in with a rough-looking man dressed in all black and brown. Rosalie backed into the wall in fear.
"And there she is my friend, a water witch here in the flesh for your enjoyment," Jared told the man who smiled at Rose with sinister glee.
"Well, I'll be damned! I didn't think you or your brother would be able to secure such a treat," the man responded.
"As I've said, Vermillion will always see to its patron's desires," Jared said confirming what Rosalie feared. "And since you will be the first of her clients tonight, you get to have her while she's still ripe. Of course, such a luxury will cost extra".
"To defile that bastard Kalan's daughter after what he did to my family, I care not what it cost," the man said throwing a bag of money Jared's way as he approached Rose.
"Try not to make a mess my friend I still need her for the rest of my clientele," Jared told him in amusement as he left the room. But the man paid no attention to Jared as he kept his eyes on Rose as she trembled with fear.
"Do you know who I am girl," he asked her. Rose shook her head as she had no idea who this man was.
"My name is Caius Voltuir," he said. It then made sense to Rose. A while back, her father had a conflict with a small clan from The Rock. A man named Aro Voltuir attempted to claim territory in Kaimana stating that their God spoke to him and tasked him with claiming the lands of Athena. It was ludicrous and The Hallam clan was adamant they had nothing to do with the rouge clan and gave her father grace to do as he saw fit with them. Kalan and the Stratiotes made quick work of eliminating them.
"I see that you recognize the name. you will pay for what your father did to mine," Caius said as he removed the black cloak he was wearing.
"My father did what he had to do to protect his lands. Your father was a fool who went to start a fight he shouldn't have," Rose remarked. Caius slapped her with enough force to make her fall onto the floor.
"You shut your mouth slut! My father was a great man chosen by the Gods," he screamed at her. He grabbed her by the hair and threw her on the bed and started tearing the dress off her body.
"Chosen by the Gods? Is that why he left his men to die in the battle while he ran for his life like a coward?!" Rose asked him laughing, infuriating Caius with her words.
"Your fucking cunt! You think your family is so mighty! Let's see how they feel when I send their precious daughter back to them covered in my seed," he shouted.
*Starts Here*
Rose tried to fight him off. She screamed, kicked, and hit him but he was a lot stronger than her. She did manage to scratch his eye but that only made him more violent. He punched her twice in the face breaking her nose. She was dazed from the impact flipped her onto her stomach and pushed himself inside of her, breaking her virginity. Rose tried to struggle but he kept her face down into the pillow where she screamed and cried out from the pain.
Caius delighted in her pain. This was retribution for his father and his family name. After Aro lost his battle with the Kai family, they were banished from The Rock in disgrace. Not only did they go after the water clan without permission from the Goran Hallam, but they lost the same battle they started. They became the laughingstock of the entire city! All because of them! Caius swore he find a way to make them pay for everything that was taken from them! What better way than to defile Lord Kalan's beloved daughter, his true heir as everyone called her?
"Do you think this is how my father felt when Kalan sent his minions after him? Helpless and begging for his life. Come on tell me again how my father was a coward! Say it again," he demanded of her. But Rose wouldn't respond to his taunts.
"This is for your father's sins! And this is for our disgrace," he said as he pulled himself out of her. Rose's slight relief was short-lived as he shoved his member into her other hole.
Rose howled in agony as Caius tore into her rectum tearing the muscles inside and causing her to bleed.
"Ah, yes! This is even better," Caius called out over her screams. Rose cried and begged him to stop and just kill her! Anything was better than this.
But Caius ignored head her words as he thrust even hard into her, the blood giving him lubrication and helping him to move with ease. It seemed to last forever to Rose but for Caius, it was over too quickly as he pulled out and sprayed his seed over her backside.
*Ends Here*
His breath was heavy as though he ran for miles as he looked down at the bloody filthy witch. He smiled at his handy work. Maybe he should have finished inside her cunt and left her with a bastard so that she'd always remember him.
"Next time," he said out loud as he pulled his trousers up. He would be paying the bitch another visit if she survived tonight. He walked out the door to meet Jared who was waiting for him.
"How was it," Jared asked smirking.
"Perfect. Please inform me if she is available tomorrow night," Caius told him as walked past the line of men waiting for their turn. Once the word was out that a water magician was placed in his establishment, a few men came forward wanting a taste of her. Seems like Kalan had many enemies across the land.
The next one to come up was a disgruntled pimp that was banished from Kaimana for his crimes of capturing and attempting to sell women into slavery. The man paid Jared and approached Rose who was still weeping from her first encounter. She didn't even notice the next man before he slapped her.
Jared smiled as the bitch began to scream again. It was going to be a very long night for the Kaimana heiress.
Bella was laying on the bed as the Sanator, Angela, Jessica, and Tana stood on the side of her. she introduced herself as Esme and apologized for the loss of her child. This was a procedure that no one took joy in. removing a dead child from the mother's womb was a tragic part of their job. Bella didn't acknowledge her condolences and just raised her shirt.
"Just get it done," she said to her, no emotion in her voice.
Esme felt sorry for the poor lady but did as she was told and pulled her power to her hands, causing them to glow. The procedure was simple but dangerous when carrying more than one child. Esme would need to isolate and disintegrate the dead fetus while keeping the surviving one safe. It was a delicate procedure that required extreme focus and precision. One wrong move and she could damage or even kill the surviving twin. But first, she needed to isolate the living twin, so she tried to sense its heartbeat. However, what she found caused her to smile.
"What is Sanator Esme," Angela asked her.
"It seems like I'm not needed afterward, my lady," Esme responded as she stood upright.
"What are you talking about," Bella asked in frustration. She just wanted this done and over with so she could be left in peace!
"My lady I was only expecting to feel one little heartbeat in your womb but there are two," Esme said smiling. Bella sat up at the implication. She didn't dare to hope, could it really mean what she thought?
"What are you saying Sanator," Angela asked.
"I'm saying, Miss Angela, that both of her children are alive and well," Esme said.
