Chapter 16

Katrina's POV

My heart thumped louder than ever as I waited for what Silas would say. I beg

He wasn't going to let this man take me, would he?

him with my eyes to do something

I didn't know what their relationship was, but I hoped he wouldn't pur Silas in a fix where Silas would have to let me go.

I would rather remain here as a maid than be someone's toy.

"And besides. Since when do you like younger girls? She's like hall your age and could easily pass as your daughter. Let her come to me. The man waved his fat hands in his face, smiling a though he gave a valid argument.

I could easily pass as Silas' daughter. The man speaking was fat and short. He was balding right in the middle of his head and had grey strands of hair scattered all over

While Silas was talking and studying, his black hair had grey streaks, but it only added to his charms.

They were opposites and he dared to say that I could pass as Silas daughter.

"Didn't you hear her when she said she was my wife? Silas' voice held so much authority that it made me shudder.

For a moment, I was relieved; my heart beat slowly down because of his words. But my relief was tangled with confusion as questions swarmed through my mind.

Why did Silas defend me? He had just agreed that I was his wife in front of all these people, does that mean anything?

It seems to be one of his games and I wouldn't be doing myself any good by letting my hopes come up.

His grey eyes pierced into the man, making himn move awkwardly m his seat.

He seemed to have expected Silas to let him have me, and I was happy he didn't.

"If you don't value your life, I dare you to covet what's mine once more," Silas' voice was cold and I let out a sigh of relief.

"But Silas-"The man started but Silas pinned him down with a stare.

"Take her inside Rachael,"

Rachael only needed to be told once before she pulled me away her grip on my arm tight. Tobediently followed as she dragged me, not wanting to be with them any longer.

The moment we were out of sight, she pulled me in front of her, raising her hands

Her hand cane sien in my cheek with so much force it turned my face to the sound.

The slap came hard and fast, the sting spreading across my cheek like fire.

I could feel my head throbbing as I staggered back, subconsciously reaching for my aching cheek.

Rachael's cold eyes watched me, daring me to fight back. But I couldn't. Not here, not now.

She hissed, stepping towards me. I took a step back, raising my hands to
