Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
126 - end of season 1

Before the meeting was held and before Roxanne came, Elios had a meeting with his two most reliable wives after the Graean.

"You didn't kill Roxanne?" Mariana blatantly asked that.

"Who said I didn't?" reply Elios relax.

"I'm sorry for the sassness of my words, Young Master, but what looks in our eyes like you're so spoiling him."

"really? Then my goal is little by little achieved."

Diane blinked. The goal? What does Elios mean? He wants to kill Roxanne but he has to spoil her first?

"You want to know?" Elios' eyes caught the question on Diane's flat face.

"No." Diane answered quickly. "No need, Young Master. Do as you please."

There was a strange smile on Elios' face looking at Diane's perfect lie.

He obviously wanted to know but he said no because he knew Elios was not willing to share.

"You two don't have to think about anything outside of Roxanne. Whatever it is is not necessary. Just focus on watching and hearing my orders."

"Good."

"Particularly you, Maria. I know you don't like Roxanne but what I need from you is defeat. Break up in front of Roxanne. Make him feel victorious from you, as if he were a Graean substitute."

"Okay, Young Master."

"Diane, run your role as usual. So good friends that Roxanne trusts."

"I understand."

For now, Elios wants to make Roxanne feel heaven. So all his wives have to treat Roxanne as best they can, including making her think she's the queen.

"It's me." Diane knocks on Roxanne's room door while pushing the food cart. "What are you doing?"

From inside the small bathroom, Roxanne said, "Clean yourself. Just a minute."

But Diane went to open the bathroom door and just walked in. "Go away" he ordered the waiter there. Then sit in their place washing Roxanne's body. "Young Master told me to take care of you directly."

"He always told you to do the waiter's job." Roxanne muttered as Diane's hands smoothly cleaned her hair. "Elios really doesn't appreciate his wife."

"What do you expect?" reply Diane doesn't care. "Young Master is Young Master."

Roxanne. The woman was curious about something. Last night Elios said he was going to see all his wives, so after all this time, Diane was also serving Elios, right?

"That was your first experience?" Roxanne was really curious about it. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Diane, but was there no other man before this?"

Married Elios a long time ago but only released his virginity at the age of thirty. Roxanne feels detached from anything, Diane is really a patient wife.

"Hurtful?"

"Not really." Diane rubbed the reddened marks on Roxanne's back. "I think Young Master is just being wild with you. Maybe."

Roxanne glanced at Diane's neck to check if there were any bite marks or anything. But there is no. Different from Roxanne whose wrist was full of Elios marks.

"Diane's. You love Elios?" ask Roxanne curiously.

".... Do you think it can be that easy to love? Especially Young Master?"

Well, no wonder. Except for his face, Elios is really difficult to love and far from the word dream. It's disgusting to love his own twin, to kill his wife just because he's upset, all the sins and filth that's covered in his body.

The more Roxanne thinks the more impatient she is to strangle Elios.

"You alone, love Young Master?" Diane asked back.

"Which crazy person can? Besides Graean."

Diane smiled a little. "really. No sane person would want to."

"Maybe Mariana will."

"No. Maria has another lover."

Roxanne. Spontaneously he turned around, making his hand that was still in the process of recovery after a broken bone so sore. However, Roxanne was busy being surprised. "Marya? He has an affair? Who?"

"Someone who could be called the First Lady's bodyguard. Their relationship was secret, except from the First Madam. Young Master doesn't know."

"I think he's obsessed with Elios." Roxanne grimaced, responding to the pain in her hand.

"Mary just wants to secure her position. In any case if it doesn't become important, Young Master barely has any reason to keep his wife. We are different from Narendra's wives who were given jobs and were useful to the family."

Roxanne sighed, only able to justify inwardly. If they don't do something, they could eventually be killed for Elios' pleasure. It was Archas' 'mistake' to throw Elios out of Narendra.

"Then what about you?" Diane helps Roxanne stand up and puts a towel on her. "Didn't you and Young Master Eris have a relationship?"

"It's over."

Now no one wants Roxanne to love or hope for. He only wanted to kill Arkas, Eris and Elios and end Sanya as his last meal.

Even if after that Roxanne dies, he believes that it is a happy ending.
