the deal 2
“And after that… do you believe that I would have ruined this… this…” Elle stood up and moved in the center of the room with her agitated face and spread her arms out, she stared at the walls which were painted in ridiculous shocking and eye-sore pink shade. She became annoyed at once that why she was not able to see the obvious hints and signs despite living under the same roof. Elle turned towards Mary who had been staring at her with jaw dropped, she might have already cursed herself inwardly upon not being able to see those clear signs. “This castle which is dear to Alessandro, do you think I would have changed its face if I was in love with him, and not cared for his things?” Mary was speechless on her words which were absolutely true since she had been doing everything in her power to offend Alessandro and to persuade him to let her go. The maid servant was taken aback by the realization which shook her from inside and she pondered upon her previous actions. Mary had no other grudge on her other than the self assumed association towards Alessandro, Mary finally realized that whatever she had been doing was terribly wrong and she could have negotiated. “Well, that’s… that’s accurate.” She spoke with hesitation in the voice after realizing her blunder which made Elle relieved that she finally understood and was not blind anymore, while Mary was still unable to figure out what was happening and what was the truth. Elle resumed the speech with stating other facts which were bound to be unfold sooner. “Yes, and now you have to believe me… I have no interest in him. I love my fiancee and I want to escape from here so I can marry him on the expected date.” Elle strode towards her again and made sure that she understood whatever Elle meant to say. She reached for her shoulders and placed her hands on Mary’s hands. “And for that you have to help me, Mary. You are the senior here and everyone here hears you, I have seen that the head of guards is head over heels for you… only you can help me escape from here.” Elle attempted to convince her and to take her in trust, she did not want to leave her in the dark and definitely not after acknowledging that Mary was obsessively in love with him. The woman on the other hand was not willing to settle for that much information since she needed more to know before deciding whether she wanted to help her or not. “But let’s just assume that you need my help, the question still remains unanswered… why should I help you?” Mary’s question was valid since she was not dumb as the woman appeared to be, she was just rather naive and wanted to get answers from her. Elle knew that was coming and she simply smirked at the question before replying. She did not want to keep her in the dark in that matter too, the atmosphere of the room suddenly turned dark and grim since Elle had been planning to do something real bad which was not acknowledged in Mary’s wildest dreams. “Of course, what else other than this I would leave the palace and would be out of your sight. Isn’t that enough for you to help me?” Elle wanted to see how far she could think about the whole situation, since she was not in love with Alessandro anymore. And it was simply the sexual infatuation between them from her side, and even Alessandro could not deny that after seeing the brief demonstration. Mary crossed her arms after seeing what Elle said made sense but she did not want to settle for less after knowing that she could bring up the deal again by reminding Elle whatever she had said before. Elle waited for her to speak while she witnessed the sudden switch of her body language, it made Elle put her brain in thinking again and concentrate on the matter. ‘I know I have seen her somewhere, but I can’t seem to recall where have I seen her. I’m sure she does seem familiar, I can recognize that voice.’ Elle was unable to comprehend what was happening and why was she was feeling that Mary was familiar or maybe she actually mistook her for someone else. She waited for Mary to speak whatever she had in her mind, Elle knew and could already figure out that Mary would not settle fo or less nd she had to make a deal instead. “I don’t want to help you for free and why should I actually/ You and I both are aware of Alessandro’ power and already can guess that he will find you in no time even after I help you run away from here.” She had a fair point which was not hidden from Elle, who had seen many such shitty and violent things coming from him. And now that Alessandro had gotten the backing and power his family the situation had gotten even more dangerous. He had the resources from the Petrakis family who could shake up the whole Europe for anything in just the snap of fingers. “You have to think of something you know, and definitely something which will work in my favour too if you want me to help you in escaping from this remote island.” Mary gave her a smile and wanted to make sure that Elle heard her clearly, the woman on the other hand new that was coming since she had already seen her sudden switch of aura. “What do you want then? I can’t give you monetary benefit if that’s what you are thinking about.” She immediately told her so Mary would not think of any such thing. But perhaps Mary did not want by such benefit at all, the woman laughed wholeheartedly and made Elle confused with her actions. “Hahaha! Who wants monetary benefits, hah!? I want you to make a deal with me, then I can help you in escaping from this hell.” Elle pondered for a moment about possibly what it could be since she had to do something to make Mary help her and the persuasion should be tempting enough to make Mary comply to her request. Elle simply smiled and waited for her to speak knowing that it would be something big but at the same time something which was in Elle’s possession maybe. “What is it?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
