The Doomed and Blessed, 13th young miss Chapter 21

CHAPTER 21

Did Gabriella truly scheme against Sahara? Is this the missing piece that I felt all this time?

Because of the silence, the maid looked more and more uneasy.

It couldn’t be! Why…What kind of reason?

The maid didn’t say a word, to her loyalty to Gabriella. But, she hardly needed to…

“Lock her up! I’ll question her myself later!”

“Master! Please! I serve your daughter with absolute loyalty!”

Talon sighed to her words, for they were probably true.

As much as he wished for this not to be true, he couldn’t dismiss it now…

New problems seemed to have raised up in Talons mind.

How had I punished Sahara all this time? How had Sahara felt? What else has Gabriella done? What about now, now I had not even talked to her, when Sahara had come all this way to ask!

A bottomless pit seemed to have risen and wanted to engulf him. He couldn’t imagine how badly Sahara must feel about all of this!

For a full hour, Talon’s mind was in complete chaos!

“Salem!”

His own personal bodyguard appeared in front of him, “Master.”

“…Watch Gabriella and report back everything that she says and does! You are not to leave one word or action out, do you understand!?”

“As you command, Master.”

A few days went passed and Talon found himself wanting to see Sahara wholeheartedly. In fact, he was longing for it more and more as the time passed. But, when she saw him…Her face broke his heart…

She did not smile, her eyes held no joy and he felt that his presence did not seem to matter to her at all.

He felt an absolute need to tell this little, adorable girl, that he wasn’t mad at her at all anymore, and that he generally wanted to see how she was going!

He remembered how she was before she opened up to him and realized that she had practically completely reverted back to it now. This invisible wall stopped him from wanting to tell her his thoughts and he could tell that things were the opposite now.

…As he ponders more and more about it…He was the one that had to open up her heart, to be able to have her to have faith and trust in him once again!

As regrets filled his thoughts, he felt himself at a loss.

Until now…He had never truly known how much he generally cared for her…

I wasn’t that blind to know that Talon was having troubles. But I couldn’t help it. A few times I had told myself that I’m not a saint…

He still had no idea I had been schemed against all these years!

And then to be so mad, to make me feel isolated…It was too much!

I’m a forgiving person, but right now, I needed some time.

In my previous life, it was extremely hard to gain any sort of affection. Through ignoring Talon like this, I knew I could lose his affection, if I’m not careful, but treating me like that, was not okay!

I’m quite good at enduring, but each person had their limit…

It was getting to new year again and with that, the new year festival. Honestly, I’ve seen it, been there, done that. So, I decided against going this year.

Finding excuses, each time asked, it became accomplished…Luckily!

Yet another scheme of Gabriella’s was supposed to have happened at this festival, and this was the reason Talon had happily let her stay home. It had been the mother, daughter and son that had insisted on Sahara accompanying them out. With the last words from Talon, stating that she could stay home, they could only stop asking.

Having Salem tell him of his daughter’s scheme, Talon became terrified of his own daughter’s maliciousness!

The other schemes that she had done, paled in comparison!

What is going on? Why is she doing this!?
