CHAPTER 60: 60: BUY HER OFF

Sue

"What are you doing here with our slave?" Damon was the first to speak and I felt a hot wave of embarrassment at being referred to as that.

Hugo didn’t seem deterred at all, instead, he rolled his eyes and tugged me closer into his side.

"I was taking a pleasant walk with this gorgeous woman before you all interrupted us." He responded smoothly and my stomach swooped a little.

"Well, she’s our slave, we didn’t give her permission to take walks." Landon snapped and I rolled my eyes in irritation, hating the sight of their scowls right now.

How dare they feel angry right now??

"I don’t remember when maids have to get permission to go on walks right now." Hugo drawled and Angelo snorted as he stepped closer.

"Didn’t we ask you to stay away from her, Hugo?" Angelo asked and Hugo rolled his eyes as he stepped even closer.

"You asked me to stay away from your mate, but apparently you don’t plan to get married to her any longer. Now, she’s just your slave, isn’t she? So, you have no right to ask me to stay away from her." He responded in a sharp voice.

I could feel the princes gazed on me, and I completely avoided their gazes, choosing to act like I wasn’t here right now. However, I could already tell I’d still have to answer to them later.

"You already answered your own question. She’s our slave and we can ask you to stay away from her if we want to, cause she’s our slave." Angelo snapped in response, his eyes filled with rage.

Again, I couldn’t understand why they were so furious.

"Infact, I have a better idea. Since she’s just a slave right now, why don’t I buy her off you guys’ hands?" Hugo continued and the silence that stretched out between us was so loud, I was certain if a raindrop fell right now, it would make a sound.

Hugo wants to... buy me...?

"Are you mad?" Landon was the first to speak, his voice clenched tightly and clearly restrained with so much anger.

Prince Hugo only threw his head back and laughed for a bit before he continued to speak. "Why do you sound so angry? You’re literally getting married to other women tomorrow? It should mean nothing to you to agree to sell her off to me."

"We’re not interested in selling her off, she’s not an object to be sold." Angelo finally bit out in response.

"Of course she isn’t. No one can mistake such a beauty like her as such. I meant that I’d like to buy her off your hands and set her free. You’d like that, wouldn’t you, gorgeous?" Hugo glanced towards me this time and I nodded without hesitations.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see the moment the Princes finally had enough.

In the next moment, Angelo was reaching forward and wrenching me out of Hugo’s hold, pulling me right into his side. Now that I was being held flushed against his side, I could feel how he was literally trembling from anger.

"We appreciate your kind offer, however she’s currently paying for the crimes if your father like you must have gathered, so she can’t be freed till we say so." Landon gritted out this time and I pursed my lips, anger dancing in my stomach once again.

"Since when do slave owners hold their slaves like this?" Hugo asked as he folded his hands and that’s when I realized that Angelo had his hand around my waist in a tight grip, and now that I was aware, it was all that I could think about.

I expected Angelo to let go of me, but he didn’t, to my utmost shock.

"You should leave whenever you’re done with whatever you came here to do." Angelo bit out once again and Hugo rolled his eyes.

"I came here to visit her, but since you’ve kept her away from me, I’ll see her tomorrow at your own wedding. I’m certain you’ll be too busy exchanging vows with your betrothed brides to interrupt the two of us by then." He drawled as he shoved his hands in his pocket, then he was blowing me a kiss before casually strolling off.

I let out a sigh of disbelief as I stared after him, while beside me, Damon let out a sharp breath.

"Mother fucker, I’m gonna kill him one of these days."

I swallowed emptily, fully aware that since we were alone now, I was undoubtedly doomed.

"What the hell was that?" Angelo asked as he stared down at me and I swallowed emptily, my heartbeat accelerated fast as I refused to meet his gaze.

"I don’t know what you mean,"

"Didn’t we give you orders to stay away from him?" He gritted out and my heart pounded away as I shook my head slowly.

"I- I didn’t know it still mattered now that I was a slave." I pointed out, still pointedly avoiding their gazes.

This time, Angelo let out a loud laugh that made a shiver roll down my spine.

"You didn’t know?" He demanded and I finally met his gaze cause I was starting to get annoyed.

"Yes. Since I’m a slave, why do you care?" I demanded.

"You now have someone you all fuck, and you have who you’ll all marry and make your Luna tomorrow. Why is me meeting up with Hugo a problem?"

"It is a problem because we say it is." Angelo snapped and I scoffed while scowling up at him.

"If you refuse to stay away from him again, you know what I’ll do," he reminded me and I rolled my eyes.

"Look, you can go hurt my pack members if you want. News flash, I don’t care about them cause they never cared about me either. I just didn’t want you to do this cause I know I’ll feel guilty about it for the rest of my life. But if you’ll keep holding that above my head after ruining my life like this, then go ahead and hurt my pack if that’s what you want!"
