Louisa's POV
I couldn't believe what I had just heard and stared at Josephine.
"You've heard her. Apologize," Lucas looked at me and said.
"I won't apologize for things that I haven't done," I said with tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass.
Lucas grabbed my arms and said, "I don't give a fuck. Apologize to Josephine."
Will struggled in my arms, trying to kick his legs at Lucas. I had to hold him tightly in my arms, so he wouldn't attack Lucas.
I bit my lips so hard that they started to bleed. Then, I turned to Josephine and said, "I'm sorry."
Josephine slapped me and said, "That's for you stealing away my guards!"
Then, she slapped me again and said, "That's for you being rude to me!"
Alpha Titan stopped her and said, "OK, niece. Enough slapping for a Lady today. That poor girl has already apologized, so why don't you leave her alone?"
Josephine gloated and said, "Why do you put that servant girl in the Luna Tent, Lucas? Isn't that reserved for your Luna?"
Lucas walked towards Josephine and said, "I'm not putting her in the Luna Tent."
"But I saw she was in there a few minutes ago!" Josephine said.
"Don't believe what you see, believe what I tell you, Jo," Lucas lifted her up abruptly in his strong arms and held her in his arms.
Josephine exclaimed in excitement and wrapped her legs around Lucas' waist.
"No! Lucas! Put me down!" She giggled and groaned.
"I will put you down," Lucas stared into her eyes and said. "Where do you want me to put you down? On a chair? A table? In a bath?"
"No! Lucas! It's in the middle of the day! What are you doing?!" Josephine groaned and twisted her body, wrapping around Lucas like a snake.
Lucas walked into his tent while holding Josephine in his arms.
Alpha Titan walked towards me and said, "My niece has been spoiled and she isn't used to not getting what she wants. Lucas loves Josephine. They've been through a lot together and she's her rightful match. If I were you, I would stay out of her way."
Then, he walked away with his soldiers.
As soon as they were gone, tears started to pour down my cheeks. I felt I was a sponge, being saturated in water and then squeezed.
Will pressed himself against me and sobbed together with me.
Then, the extremely unpleasant feeling gripped me again.
Whenever Lucas was having sex with other women, I would have to go through tremendous pain. I couldn't do anything about it. It was completely out of my control.
I stumbled into the Luna Tent and placed Will on the floor. Then, I fell to the floor and started to roll in pain.
Waves of pain darted through my chest, like the ripple of sheet lightning.
"Doctor! Help her!" I heard Darren's voice from distance.
I heard the sound of Will's cry and I wanted to stretch out my arms to hug him, but I just couldn't control my arms.
My breast was contracted by pain like screws clamped on my heart.
Then, I saw Jafar in front of my eyes. I could see that he was holding a needle in his hands.
"Calm down, Louisa. Everything will be fine." He said in a steady, calm voice.
Then, I fell into oblivion.
That wasn't my first passing out because of the pain.
But that was the first time I saw something in my unconsciousness.
It was like a delusion, but it felt so real.
I felt that I was floating in the air, flying through the ocean and forest. The wind was blowing through my hair and I could see the masts of ships parking next to a deserted port.
When the wind seized, I started to fall and eventually landed like a fallen feather on the surface of a pool of water.
Then, I saw a giant serpent's head slowly emerging from the water.
It stared at me and opened its wide mouth, exposing its long venom fangs in front of me.
I thought it wanted to attack me, but it didn't. Instead, it stuck out its forked tongue towards me.
Somehow, I knew it wanted to speak.
"What do you want to say?" I asked. "I can understand your words."
"I only speak with a forked tongue," it hissed while slowly moving its head from side to side. "Do you still believe me?"
"Yes, I do," I said. Animals never lied to me. Not even in my dream.
"It's in the water," it hissed.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
It didn't answer me and suddenly submerged beneath the water.
The splashed water got on my face and made me shiver.
Then, I woke up.
In a blur, I saw Lucas in front of me, holding a glass of water.
"Fuck, you're awake. Finally." Lucas said, holding me up in his arms and placing me in a bed.
I immediately huddled in the corner of the bed, holding my knees.
"Where are you going?" Lucas frowned and asked. "Come here."
I refused to get closer to him, looking around to see if there was anyone around to help me.
To my disappointment, I was in Lucas' tent. No one was around.
"Why are you trembling like a wide-eyed little mouse? Come here, so I can hug you and ruffle your hair," Lucas opened his arms at me and said.
"No! Go away! I don't want to have anything to do with you!" I shouted.
Lucas sighed and said, "I didn't mean to hurt you this afternoon. It's just because Titan was there. Josephine was his niece, you know. And it's very important for him to believe that I'm on his side."
"I don't care!" I cried out. "I don't want to hear any of your explanations! You will rot in a hole after you die and you'll rot in the hole alone!"
Lucas looked amused. He approached me, held me in his arms, and pressed his body against mine, so I wasn't able to go anywhere.
"Tell me some more things about that hole, little mouse. What kind of hole is that? A big one? A small one?" Lucas asked me, kissing me gently all over my face.
"Don't do this! There's no use! I won't forgive you for what you've done to me! It's not fair..." I groaned, protested, and eventually gave up struggling.
He snuggled me and said in a softened voice, "Tell me that you love me."
"I don't love you," I turned my head away and said.
"Tell me," He said, spreading my legs apart with his legs. I noticed that he had that naughty smile on his face again.
I just couldn't say no to that evil smile.
"I love you," I said in a soft voice.
He looked very satisfied, pulling up my dress, and said, "Tell me that you'll follow me everywhere I go, even into a hole."
I frowned and said, "I don't want to end up in a hole."
"But what if I'm in it?" Lucas asked. He had a serious look on his face as if my answer was of great importance to him. The tip of his full-sized erection was probing around my private area, which had already turned moist.
My heart was pounding so fast that I couldn't even catch my breath.
"I'll follow you... everywhere you go... even into a hole."
"Great." Lucas gloated as he pushed himself into my body.
"Ah," he moaned. "I won't be dying alone in a hole, then."
