Obsessive lover
The awkward posture made the situation appear even more intense than it really was, and gave the whole scene a comedic representation. Elle lifted her head up and began to authoritatively ask Mary about the order Alessandro gave to her. She did not expect him to stoop so low but somehow deep down she still believed that it was a made up lie by Mary and Alessandro would never do something like that just to take his revenge from her. However she still dared to boldly ask Mary about that, whereas the maid had been terribly frightened though it left a bitter taste in her mouth that she was defeated by Elle and now that woman might stay in the castle for long. Numerous flashes abf thoughts appeared in her mind as Mary began to think and foresee Elle’ marriage to his beloved and desired man Alessandro. Unbeknownst to her that he did not want to stay with him at all and already had a fiance, Elle had seen in her eyes that Mary was in love with Alessandro and that’s what she had been planning to use against Alessandro. ‘Haha! I have finally found something to use against you Alessandro. I will make sure that you will get what you deserve!’ Elle was aware that she needed to win Mary’s trust and that she needed to assure her that she was not in love with Alessandro, that’s why she decided to tell her the truth but before that she needed to confirm that Mary would help her rather than backstabbing. “What did you say, huh?” She tried to sound calm and serene but attempted to show that she was pissed on her for giving her such a task. Mary on the other hand was not calm wince she could not keep her trembling silhouette under check and Elle’ constant staring was making her uncomfortable whereas the cunning woman was not willing to budge at all. Elle resumed her speech while she pressed precisely pinched her chin beneath her thumb. She was not willing to let go of Mary that easily and definitely not after knowing that she had been struggling to keep her emotions in check but in the process she had destroyed so many lives and the self esteem of so many women. Elle glared at her as a small tear crept on Mary’s cheek out of fright, she could possibly imagine every kind of crazy thing from Elle now. Well, after witnessed what she was capable off she was terrified utterly which made her imagine and silently pray that Elle would NEVER notice the knife laying on the side table within the fruit basket. “What did you say, huh? Repeat that!” Elle commanded her while she made Mary wince in slight pain as she dig her nail of the thumb in her chin that it began to bleed, but Mary did not move an inch since she could not afford any more damage than that scar on her chin. Hence she stood there on the floor sitting on her butt which had stiffened and she could not lift herself up. However Elle smirked which sent a shiver down her spine and Mary could literally feel the small hair on her body rising in fright, the woman could feel her body turning ice cold but despite all the grim situation she had been into… Mary felt ashamed of herself not because she was defeated by Elle. But because she did not have the courage to say her feelings to Alessandro and that’s what made her envious of Elle in that moment because she wanted to be like her_ strong and independent, a woman who knows her worth and knows what to get whatever she desired! “Your master Alessandro told you that I’m not his girlfriend?” Elle repeated her words which she thought Alessandro might have said to Mary because the maid vaguely spouted them before but she wanted to hear them again from her. Hence Elle whispered them again while keeping her expressions sly and smirking which was her first thing to do in that moment since it could practically radiate an imposing aura from her. Mary could not speak which infuriated Ekle who was expecting a quick reply from her, but it appeared that she had to make her speak forcefully. “What? Did the cat get your tongue, huh?” She shouted at Mary whichmade her flinch and Elle released her chin which caused a scar on the skin. Elle didn’t want to let her go without answering her questions hence she shouted again loudly to oppress her. “SPEAK UP!” Mary closed her eyes which she opened after realizing that nothing hit her and saw Elle staring at her waiting fir the answer. “Well, if you would tell you the truth I might not consider killing you right here.” Elle practically scared her as much as she could, while the woman pointed out at the knife laying on the table within the basket. The sly fox had already known how the shit works and that skill was taught to her by Richie, who wanted to prepare his woman for any kind of danger since he was not a man without enemies. Mary saw her stood up from the floor and walked back towards the bed, there was the moment when she tried to reach for the knife Elle just told her about. But before she could do something the threatening sound of elle resonated in the quiet room. And the particular moment felt as if some thunder bolt night have hit the room and the devil lady arrived. “And do not even try to do anything stupid, you have already seen what i can do and i hope that’s enough for you to understand that i can kill you in every possible rat and painful way.” Elle clearly warned her although she knew how to cause minor injury but she did not know how to actually kill someone, but upon seeing that Mary was intimidated by her Elle tried to scare her even more with her bluffing. The woman had never even killed any mouse let alone murdering an actual living man, which helped her in creating that particular scary atmosphere. Elle did not want her to step up ber game, hence she turned around and sat on the bed by putting her right leg on the left one as she intended to keep up her aura composed. Elle wanted to protect herself but in the meantime she wanted to have Mary wrapped around her pinkie finger, the woman said with her gaze in the direction of her nose which made Mary wonder if she could really kill her or it was a white lie. But nonetheless she began to think about the knife and gulped down her fears that Mary was willing to speak the truth. “Y- yes… vaguely.” She stuttered while replying to Elle acknowledging that if she lied now then she might not see tomorrow’s sum, that’s why the woman was willing to tell her whatever Elle asked for. “How vague?” Elle shouted at her while gritting and the very gesture made Mary scared that she began to sob, however the very act made Elle roll her eyes in utter disbelief that the particular woman was the same one who had been impeding on her before. And wanted to intimidate her but now was pleading to her to stop torturing her. Mary began to sob even more loudly and crept closer to Elle as she knelt near to her feet and whimpered. “Master said to take care of you, I… I was not…” Mary burst in tears and lifted her hand to touch Elle but then paused fearing that her cheek would hurt immensely if she slapped her once again. Elle on the other hand was taken aback by her sudden apology which made her become suspicious of her act. ‘Why is she suddenly asking for forgiveness? Is she crazy, huh?’ Mary consistently asked Elle to forgive her for behaving brashly and to demand her to do stuff. Maybe Elle somehow grasped that she was nothing more than an ordinary girl who was trapped in her own insecurities and lackings. Mary was surely presenting her insecurities and weaknesses to Elle without even knowing and she definitely did not have any idea that she would use those points in her own favours. “Please… please forgive me, please… I did not mean to do that… please…” Elle wanted to help her in getting to know Alessandro better, she really wanted Mary to get to know him so she could possibly realize if Alessandro has even the slightest attraction towards her or not. Since Mary was genuinely and obsessively in love with him, which caused the woman to do every possible thing in her hands to drift away from every woman around Alessandro. Elle felt sympathetic towards Mary who had been crying wholeheartedly while pouring her heart out in front of her seeming rival.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
