Thread: The Ward... A Victorian RP  (SHARPii & ThomasWaller)

Even as he addressed his right hand, Estella didnt say anything. Neither did she look at the massive man. Her eyes were glued to this uppity man himself, the one who had the audacity to treat her as if she was a common person, insult her and not treat her like the lady she was. He treated her like a child. He clearly did not know her and she did not appreciate the treatment either. It was an outrage and all of those emotions were clear on her face. She didnt even pay a mind to the right hand man, called Goren. He was beneath her. She clearly prized status and standing very much. Estella was brought out of her mind when the man suddenly gripped her chin and she was forced to look at him. Well, not that she wasnt already but she didnt like or appreciate him touching her. Her hand raised to try and take his away but then she was dealt a harsh smack, one that made her squeak and have her other hand rubbing it to take the stinging away. Shed never beenhit. Absolute shock came onto her face and she swallowed hard. Her eyes chanced a glance at Goren for some kind of reaction. What exactly would he do when this man said take her on his lap? She didnt want to know and if she had anything to say about it, it wouldnt be happening. But if there was ever one way to keep her silent She was breathing fast again, like when she was angry. Except she wasnt angry right now. She was scared, completely in a position she wasnt expecting and with a man who probably wanted to do more damage to her than anything else. And the fact they simply let her go. Did they not care about her safety of whose carriage she got in? A complete stranger! She was scared for her life. For all she knew, he was going to kill her! With some hesitation, Estella took the letter, her eyes drifting down to his opened legs for a split second before back at the letter she took. She opened it and read, her eyes widening in absolute disgust and horror over the sexual content in the beginning of the message and then she read one. In the end, Estella ended up crumpling the letter. Okay, now she wasnt just scared. She was also very angry all over again. Her mouth opened to speak, to lash out some rude words that a lady like her would never, ever say but she was once more stopped. The revelation sunk in as her green eyes stared up at him and her jaw pretty much dropped. It was the first time that Estella Ballantrae couldnt speak. Normally she had a response for everything. This left her speechless and not in a good way. He took the breath right out of her lungs and she swallowed hard. Her throat went dry and it was difficult to actually swallow. After a few moments, she sat back and rest her hands with the crumpled letter in her lap, sitting like the dignified lady that she was but the look on her face said she was basically talked into submission. Not that she was submitting to him but she wasnt saying anything. Not yet. Until a few moments seemed to pass. She had been looking out the little window and then not looking back at him. Her mouth opened and she spoke. Soft, quiet and calm. What do you want? What do I need to do so I can go home? But that wasnt even the beginning of what she wanted to ask. She wanted to ask why this was happening, what he did with her aunt, how this was happening and what did she do to deserve this? She stayed silent on the rest, wanting to know what he wanted her to do so she could go home. Not that home was particularly a kind place. She and her aunt never got along. It was only when her aunts uncle was still alive. He was so kind to Estella, cherished her, worshipped her practically and now he was gone and she was stuck with his niece who coincidentally happened to be her aunt, a bitch of a woman clearly with two many judgments as she made clear in that letter. Of course not seeing her own fault or the terrible person she had been. Looking back down at the letter in her hands, she gulped, an audible gulp. She looked back up at him and then down at the letter and shook her head. Selfish witch. She almost gasped.
