Cassius pov
It's been a long ti since i had walked with such haste in the estate, all the staff were looking at with widened eyes, but this was not the ti to care about it, when i reached the underground area, only one guard was standing there, i don't need anyone to tell where the other guard was.
Taking back Daisy was one of the biggest mistakes, she needed more protection.
I had seen the eyes of marquees when he had left. That was why I didn't co here even once when I got requests to et her and was told that she was not ready to leave until I personally went and t her.
I knew there must be a trap so I let her be. She would have gotten tired and would have left by herself and if not, she could spend all her life there, it would be a matter of celebration at the end of the day.
But who would have thought that Marianne would go there, she did not even consult or inform once. Looks like I need to be stricter with the rules for her safety.
As I walked I could hear the sound of crying and pleading. And as I had expected, she was already in the trap.
When I looked at the girl, she was standing there strongly not at all affected by the accusations she was receiving and thank goodness when Isabella blad her, it was clear her wounds were self inflicted, all the marks on her skin were bent, as if she had used her other hand to make them.
How crazy, her family and she was to go as far as hurting herself.
I walked in and as expected she ca towards and started crying and pleading. I thought that i could bear it like always, but when she touched my chest with her filthy hands i finally snapped and jerked her hand.
Who would have known that she would lose her balance and fell down.
*************
Since the ti I was born again, I have seen a lot of changes happening from my past life. But this was sothing I had not expected even in the next seven lives.
Weren't they lovers, then why do i only see disgust in his eyes, as if sothing filthy had touched his body.
When i had touched him on our wedding night there was anger and pain in his eyes, when he had denied , he had just turned his back on , but never had he pushed back then. And the disdain he had, he had started it when I was clinged to him even after many denials.
It took a lifeti to co out of the shock when his eyes t mine. Once again there were many emotions that I failed to recognise, but still his eyes were binding and I was not able to look away.
"Cassius, i.. You.. how could you." ca the shrieking voice of Isabella, only then was we able to hold ourselves.
Was I going insane, losing myself into his eyes that also in the underground room in front of Isabella. Since when did my resolve turn this weak!
"I think all this sobbing and pain had affected your brain lady Isabella, that you even forgot, I am much higher in rank than you. Calling by my na as if we were close enough, even Marianne did this when we were alone in the room, sharing our intimate monts, and here you are, I wonder what relation do we have.
If i did not know any better i would have thought you were the once i was married to but not your sister in the past. So, it's better that you follow the etiquettes in case, rumours spread out.
My wife is very understanding as she know well, but it could not be said about you as you are still maiden, and need to get married soon." the more he spoke the more we both were getting shocked.
Isabella's face was completely white and I would have been enjoying his misery if he had not been sermonizing our relationship.
In the na of lord which intimate monts were he talking about, when have i taken his na when.. Wasn't he pointing towards the.. Oh my, I was the maiden here, not she, how could he say so many lies with such a blank face.
My face flushed as he continued,
"Now tell , how did these injuries happen to your body?" he asked with a colder tone and even I shivered the way he looked at her.
"Cass.., your highness, i was beaten, how shall i make you believe " i thought in the past that she was smarter than her mother, then why was she repeating the sa facts, and why was he not taking her side.
"Guards" he growled in a low voice.
"Yes, your highness"
"Lady Isabella's ntal condition is not good due to staying in isolation for a while, take her to the physician and then send her to marquess palace." he instructed and the guard held her both hands.
For the first ti i felt pity for her, she put all her stakes on a man, who did not even feel a bit of remorse in treating her like this.
"I can walk by myself, keep your filthy hands away from , I said, leave my hands." she continued shouting, but the guards did not pay any heed to her incessant shouting as they dragged her out.
I took a deep breath as I escaped a disaster.
But then another was still standing in front of . When I opened my eyes he's already staring at , his eyes were filled with anger, he took slow steps towards , as his eyes never left mine.
"What are you doing here?" he asked in a very low and dangerous voice, sothing that i hardly see in him.
"I ca to see her," I said, with a strong voice matching hers.
