"b.i.t.c.h? h.e.l.lo?!"I opened my eyes as I groggily looked at Jacia. Concern was written on her face as the rest of my crew members surrounded her. I looked at them with shock. Why were they all here?
"What"s wrong?"
Zarfia looked at Jacia before answering.
"Miss Mila the Marquis has changed his mind and said that we don"t have 6 days anymore. Instead we have to set sail tomorrow."
Excuse me? Tomorrow? I looked out the window of the study. The sun was setting. I jumped off of the chair as anxiety filled me. That son of a b.i.t.c.h! How am I supposed to prepare for everything now? What is his purpose for moving up the date? I walked quickly to the door and opened it as I entered the corridor. My crew members followed me as I designated jobs to them.
"Jacia, Clarabella, and Daniella. I"m putting you three in charge of the food and supplies for the trip. I will give you the gold needed to go to the marketplace and finish shopping. If anyone refuses to sell to you tell them that you have been sent by the daughter of the Duke of Avalon. Meet me by the gate of the mansion."
"Aye, aye captain."
I then turned to Zarfia and Lutious.
"I want the two of you to a.s.semble Baron, Francois, Weston and their crews in the garden so that we could discuss the next course of action."
"Aye, aye captain!"
"Wilhelm and Clark, I want you guys to go to the Marquiss" sons and bring them to me with their knights."
"Aye, aye captain."
"Josh and Ash, I need you two to accompany me as I go talk to the Marquis. After that I want you two to start making emergency life boats with me as well as organize the ammunition and weapons."
"Aye, aye captain."
Josh and Ash"s response was more tired than that of the others. I chuckled. This was only the beginning to my small revenge for their actions yesterday. I"m going to work them to the bone!
As my crew members and I reached the entrance of the Marquis"s mansion we split up into the designated groups. I handed the girls a pouch of gold given to me by the Marquis as they took several maids with them to the market. I tapped my temples as my mind whirred like a machine.
Ugh! Son of a b.i.t.c.h! Why is he have to do this to me now? I don"t even know the make or model of the s.h.i.+p. Not only that, my plan to make life boats is now going to go bust!
Josh and Ash stood behind me as I screamed into my hands. I have never been this stressed since my college midterms. Calm down Mila. You can deal with this. The first thing to do now is meet with the Marquis.
Josh and Ash followed me silently as they whispered. I finally reached the Marquis"s study door. I knocked twice before his voice mockingly said.
"Come in."
I kicked the door open. The Marquis"s tea cup shook as he flinched. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. I stormed into the room and slammed my hand on the table as I softly said.
"Mr. Marquis, what is the meaning of your actions? This goes against our initial agreement and plan."
The Marquis chuckled as he sat back on his elegant sofa. He crossed his legs as he calmly said.
"Mila dear, I apologize but it seems like you have already met the condition of this deal. What is the harm of moving up the date of our plan when the condition is already completed?"
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What condition?"
The Marquis raised his eyebrows as he sipped at his tea once more. This was the first time that I had felt such anger. My fists shook as I felt my face flush. Despite my annoyance the f.u.c.ker in front of me was as calm as h.e.l.l. His cold features relaxed as he continued to sip tea.
"Mila dear, do you know how unsightly a lady looks when she"s angry? Calm down and sit down. Based on what the servants have told me this morning. You and Baron have already consummated. Why should we delay the trip to turn him in when he is already infatuated with you? Or is it because you now have some doubts about this deal? Did you actually fall for him? How unfortunate."
The Marquis then chuckled mockingly as he set his teacup down. He then looked at me and said.
"I mean, after all women are only useful for deceit. The only thing that you have which is remotely necessary for the plan is your sweet voice and body."
Cras.h.!.+
The Marquis"s eyes widened as he looked at his smashed teacup on the wall. Tea spilled down the wall and stained the white rug below. He then looked up at me and started trembling. I was standing in front of him with a glare. My left hand was bleeding as shards of the cup which I had crushed and threw on the wall pierced my skin. I then touched my cheek leaving blood on my face.
I smiled and sat on the table in front of the Marquis. The Marquis trembled as I held his collar with both hands and leaned in. I whispered threateningly.
"Mr. Marquis. We have had a deal. This deal does not change even if the condition is performed earlier. Women are not toys which you can use and judge. I am not just a pretty face Mr. Marquis. I don"t just shake my hips and seduce a f.u.c.ker. I use my mind ever more than a f.u.c.king idiot like you. I will tell you this for the first and last time. Do not underestimate me or tell me s.h.i.+t like that again or you won"t even see the sun rise once again tomorrow. Do you understand?"
The Marquis nodded as the sound of guns clicking filled the air.
"If you understand what our Miss has just said answer her properly."
Josh and Ash each pointed their pistols to a side of the Marquis"s head. Sweat beaded the Marquis"s forehead as he nodded and said in a soft voice.
"I understand."
"Now Mr. Marquis. You will give me two more days for the trip. Is that possible?"
The Marquis opened his mouth to refuse when Josh pushed his gun into the Marquis"s temple. The Marquis closed his eyes and nodded.
"Yes. My dear Mila, I will give you not only two but three more days."
I smiled and released his collar. Josh and Ash backed away. The Marquis exhaled in relief as I stood up and walked to the door. Before leaving I turned and said.
"It was nice doing business with you Mr. Marquis. I"m glad that to u understand the severity of the situation. Have a nice day."
I slammed the door behind me as the Marquis"s scared face engraved itself in my mind. I smiled.
Holy f.u.c.k. I"ve truly become a pirate. To be honest it was kind of fun. I can"t wit for the days to come.
