Serena

On cue, the crowd parted, giving me a clear path as I walked towards Blondie, the first person I wanted to converse. Behind me, I could feel the eyes of the women; could feel the tension among those who still saw me as competition and admiration to those who saw me as their savior.

But to be honest, I didn’t have a strategy yet, one that would successfully take a quarter of these women out from Lord Hale’s possession. Maybe I was giving them false hope since basically, I’d be doomed too two days from now, but it was better than sulking and submitting to this precarious fate.

Blondie smiled at me when I reached her. I smiled back and extended my hand.

“We haven’t been properly introduced yet. I’m Serena McAllister,” I stated, waiting for her to reply.

She took my hand and shook it. “Rhea Thompson. I’m glad to see you here.”

“So do I,” I expressed with a wider smile.

I turned to face the crowd and saw that they had dispersed already; some had gone to a nearby hallway leading to their quarters probably and some had grouped outside the interconnected balconies of the foyer. The black-haired bitch earlier was nowhere in sight. Good riddance to her.

“Sofia gave you dead glares before she left,” Rhea informed, giving me a lopsided grin.

“Sofia?” I lifted a brow.

“That busty woman earlier who made an enemy out of you already,” she explained whilst crossing her arms over her chest. Dressed in a Venus-cut white satin gown, she almost looked like a goddess. She had a unique beauty to her, the kind where she didn’t need make-up but still, she’d stood out.

“Oh her…” I chuckled and continued to watch the giggling women in one of the balconies.

“When we arrived as a new addition to their master’s harem, she was quick to express her leadership,” Rhea continued. “Maybe that’s the reason why she had an instant dislike to you because you’re a queen.”

“Women like her should just be ignored,” I remarked. “I don’t want to waste my time stooping to her filthy level.”

She laughed briefly, taking delight on what I said. “I couldn’t agree more.”

There was something about Rhea that I instantly had a connection to. Something warm and fuzzy. A soul sister — maybe that’s the right word to define her.

“So, what’s our escape plan? You got an army on the way here to rescue you and hopefully, the rest of us?”
