The keys jingled as Nathaniel walked over to Marinette, two guards at his side.

"I think you've learnt your lesson now," He said, handing the one of the guards the key to unlock her chains.

'Thank God!,' Marinette thought.

She had wanted those chains off of her for days. Her arms were killing her from being up for so long. And she had stomach cramps from not eating in days.

Her clothes were dirty, from being on the dirty floor for so long, and her neck killed her because she has been sleeping in very odd positions.

This experience was really new to her. She had never had any of this done to her in all her nineteen (almost twenty) years of life.

The guard unlocked the chain and her hands were free. She let out a sigh of relief when she rubbed her bruised wrists. The bruises weren't pretty. The chains were super tight, so they left black and blue rings on her pale skin.

Marinette was suddenly pulled up to stand on her feet, rather harshly.

The guard pulled her hands behind her back and ushered her out of the room roughly. Her legs hurt from sitting in that one position for such a damn long time!

He pushed her into this room that looked like a bathroom. Juleka stood near the tub with her hands behind her back and her head bowed.

"Strip," A voice came from behind her and she immediately knew it was Nathaniel.

"I'm not going to strip in front of you," Marinette said, her voice hoarse but stern.

Juleka physically tensed when those words passed the princess's lips.

'Does she not learn her lesson?!' Juleka thought as she glanced up slightly at the scene in front of her before quickly putting her head down.

Nathaniel chuckled and Marinette stiffened when she felt his breath on the back of her neck.

"You really want to test me?" Nathaniel whispered into her ear and she shivered.

"I am married and I will not get naked before a man who is definitely not my husband,"

The word married peaked Nathaniel's anger and he used his hand to grip her neck from behind. Marinette was shocked by the sudden contact and her eyes went big in fear.

"I'm in a slightly good mood today, love. Don't ruin it with your foolishness," He said and Marinette gulped.

He lifted his head and saw Juleka.

'she was still here?' He thought.

"Juleka!" He called and her head shot up.

"Yes sir?" She answered quickly, her voice shaking slightly.

Nathaniel could be scary if he wanted to be and it was not secret that he scared the living shit out of Juleka.

"Get out. Stay close, I'll call for you soon," He ordered.

Juleka nodded and headed to the door quickly. She felt Marinette's pleading eyes boring into her, but she chose to ignore them.

'I can't help you, I'm sorry,' She silently apologized to Marinette as she shut the door behind her.

In the room was deadly silent as Nathaniel stood behind Marinette and continued to grip her neck.

"I'm giving you one more chance, sweetheart. Strip," Nathaniel ordered once more.

The stubborn as hell princess made no move to do as he had said.

Nathaniel gritted his teeth in apparent anger.

The sound of clothes ripping was heard in the room, along with Marinette's scream of shock.

Nathaniel tore the dress and it rubbed harshly against her pale, delicate skin as the garment fell into pieces.

Marinette pulled away from Nathaniel and tried to cover her barely clothed body as much as possible. Marinette looked at the man in horror and she used her small hands to try to hide her body.

"Remove the rest," He said, referring to her panties and bra.

Marinette shook her head. There is no way in hell she's going to do that.

Nathaniel sighed before walking up to her and gripping the straps of her bra.

"No! Let go!" She pleaded and she fought against him.

It was obviously no use. Soon enough, the rest of her clothes fell to the floor in very poor condition.

Tears pricked the corners of her eyes and she used her hands to cover her body from Nathaniel's hungry eyes.

She felt violated.

It was disgusting.

"Get in the bath," Nathaniel said, pointing to the bath filled with water and soap.

Unconsciously, Marinette's feet moved towards the bath. She felt Nathaniel's eyes on her naked back and butt.

Nathaniel saw that the whip marks on her back weren't fading at all and he felt kinda guilty.

Marinette slid into the tub, silent tears running down her no longer rosy cheeks. The bubbles came up to her chest, right above her breasts, and only showed a small amount of her cleavage.

Nathaniel was about to move towards the bathtub, but someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," He said, the annoyance evident in his words.

The door opened and a guard stepped in.

"What do you want, Couffaine?" Nathaniel asked the guard who was trying to subtly glance behind him.

'is that the princess? why are there torn clothes on the floor?' The guard thought curiously.

"Your mother called, your highness. She said that you should come back to France immediately!" The guard said and Marinette tensed.

'We're not in France?' She thought, slightly confused.

Nathaniel let out a groan, "What could my mother possibly want?"

The guard shrugged and glanced at the girl in the bath tub who had a blank expression on her face.

"Go tell your sister to come back. I'm going to make a call," Nathaniel said to the guard, before brushing past him and heading out of the room.

With another glance at the tattered clothes then at the princess, the guard walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Not even a minute later, Juleka walked into the room with her head hung low. Marinette didn't even spare a glance in her direction.

Walking over the bathtub, Juleka took note of the torn up clothes on the floor and narrowed her eyes.

Juleka then did what the prince told her to do. She bathed the unmoving princess, scrubbing all the dirt that was scattered across her body and washed the muck out of her dark hair.

Marinette stayed silent, allowing Juleka to bathe her, and just sat staring at the plain wall.

"Are you okay?" Juleka asked worriedly.

Marinette gave her a small smile and replied, "Yeah, I'm okay,"

Juleka wasn't convinced.

"That damn Prince!" Tom exclaimed, barging into the room then slamming the door behind him.

Sabine jumped in shock by the sudden noise and dropped the book she was reading.

She was afraid to ask what was wrong, but she did anyway.

"What's wrong?" She asked, cautiously glancing at her husband.

"The stupid boy is convinced that someone at the wedding kidnapped Marinette. And now he has arranged a meeting with all of them for some kind of 'interrogation', " Tom made his way over to the bed and plopped down, laying his head on Sabine's lap. His actions shocked the small lady, to say the least.

"That's actually a good idea. What if someone at the wedding took her? Is he contacting everyone on the guest list?" She asked, running her fingers through his hair.

She felt him nod.

"Why are you so against the idea?" Sabine asked a little while later.

"It's just stupid. Marinette ran away. No one took her!"

Sabine resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Tom still had the thought of Marinette running away tattooed in his head and it annoyed everyone to their wits.

"You still think she ran away?" Sabine whispered, low enough so Tom didn't hear.

A little while later, Tom's soft snores met Sabine's ears and she let out a sigh.

He hadn't hit her a lot lately and she was glad for that. He has been less angry and more composed. She wondered what could be going on in his head...

Sabine missed her daughter and without a doubt in her mind, she knew Adrien would find her.

"You!" Chloe yelled as she barged into the room.

"What is it now, Chloe?" The girl rolled her eyes at the blonde.

"I can't believe you guys actually went through with the plan! I told you not to do it! You and Nathaniel are just desperate!" Chloe yelled, her face red and her hands clenched at her side.

"I assume you got the email from the Dupain-Cheng Kingdom," The girl chucked and took a sip of her red wine.

"Oh I got it alright. What is wrong with you?" Chloe glared at her.

"Oh shut up, Chloe. You don't even like that bitch. Why do you care?"

Why did she care? Chloe didn't necessarily like Marinette, but she didn't hate her. She would never wish anything bad upon her!

"Silent now Huh?" The girl smirked.

"I'm going to go to that meeting tomorrow and I'm going to tell them everything. You and Nathaniel can't get away with this!"

The girl rose from her seat and stalked towards Chloe who took several steps back.

"Oh Chloe, you're too nice. But I'm afraid I can't let you do that," The girl snapped her fingers and two big bulky men appeared beside Chloe, grabbing onto her.

Chloe's eyes widened when the girl pulled out a needle out of her bag.

The girl smiled innocently and injected Chloe.

Black dots dotted her vision as she blacked out in the arms of the unknown men.

"Night Night,"

This is supposed to be where I apologize for updating so late, but I'm sure you're all too upset with me to care.

This chapter was just something I threw together because I'm getting a short break from school. It's not perfect and I apologize.

What are your thoughts?

On several occasions while writing this chapter, I've been calling Juleka "Juvia". I was watching Fairy Tail 😑✊.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'll try to update before this month ends. (THIS IS A PROMISE!!)

bye bye little butterflies 🦋🦋
