The following days that unravelled were like boxes of torment that had been stacked up so high, they had started falling over one another. Victoria had run out of tissues and she had used more than the tears that had been running out from her eyes for days now. She sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ornate patterns on the wall. Jack’s house was nothing short of a mansion, with its marble floors, towering ceilings, and endless hallways, but it felt empty. Cold. It wasn’t her home, and no matter how much Jack tried to make her comfortable, she couldn’t bring herself to feel at ease. Jack had been patient at first, understanding even, but as days turned into weeks, the tension between them grew. She had refused to touch him, she refused to let him into her heart or her thoughts. The man she was married to now was a stranger—a choice forced upon her by her family. And each day she spent in this house, surrounded by its suffocating air, felt like a betrayal to herself.

"I need to figure out a way to get Victoria away from that man, he does not deserve her at all. I doubt if he even knows what she is worth!" Paige spat out, driving himself back to his clan. He had seen enough of today and already made his mind that Victoria was the one for him. He would be doing himself a huge favour if he got married now before he's crowned the clan leader of the kin clan Though no one had confronted him about settling down, not even the elders of the clan but he was not retarted to know that the clan would expect him to ascend the place of power with his queen by his side and Victoria was the woman for him. Paige got to the path that led to his close friend's house, the one who would become his right hand man once he is crowned the clan leader. He needed to see him briefly before he headed back to the heart of the empire which was where he resided as the future clan leader. Paige's picked up his phone and tried calling his friend but there was no response from

Thomas was scared to his death as he walked out of the imperial building. How in the world had Paige thought that He would lie to him that The Saint Dragon was still alive and he had once been married to the woman that Paige wanted. Not only was the thought of it concerning, but the fact that Saint Dragon was alive was terrifying and the worst of it all was that Paige had not believed a word. "I'm definitely done for." Thomas said to himself, walking back to his car with his shoulders drooping. As soon as Thomas opened the door to his car. A thought struck him. "Oh, I should have thought of that!" Thomas said in an elated tone, hopping into his car with a relief. He would fulfill Paige's wishes by getting Victoria to him but before anything goes wrong, he would flee from the clan before he jeopardises his life. "Exactly...." Thomas thought to himself aloud, "that's exactly what I'm going to do" he concluded and started the car, before driving away. ****Back in his home, Thomas

"Let me go!" Victoria shrieked, kicking and thrashing as the men forced her into the back of a black SUV. "Shut her up!" one of them barked. ****** "Can you keep your voice down, it's very hard to drive with your screams ringing in my ears!" Thomas shouted in frustration while he clutched the steering wheels tightly. "Why don't you take me back to where you took me from and maybe I'd stop screaming my lungs out!" Victoria retorted. "We'd have you tie her down, maybe, it's quite difficult to hold her down like this!" One of the men at the backseat holding Victoria down suggested. Thomas ignored what the man said and Instead looked out the window as he continued driving. "If you'll just keep your mouth shut, you'll realise that I'm doing you a great favour by taking you away from that man!" Thomas finally said. "Let go off me....don't touch me with your filthy hands!" Victoria continued to yell out. "...and as for you, what makes you think that I was uncomfortable where

In the darkness of the night, Victoria could still see the men grimacing in pain as they all tried to get back up on their feet. She struggled to get over the shock of having Saint walk away from her without bothering to ask her to come with him. She didn't know if to follow Saint or go back to Jack Sparrow; but the logical answer would be to go back to Jack's house and remain with him. There was no need to trying to patch things that was impossible to mend. "That bloody bastard!" Victoria emotions suddenly got the better of her, "he couldn't even lift a finger to save me!" She yelled out into the night, not caring who had heard her. "Why....why did I agree to divorce Saint and get married to a useless man like Jack Sparrow....that bloody idiot!""Oh gosh....I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid for letting Saint off just like that!" Victoria continued berating herself and tugging her hair in frustration. She sniffed back in the tears that threatened to cascade down her cheeks. She could
