EXCERPT

The Scoundrel's Wish. Coupdegrace.

"So you really used me, huh?" she bravely asked him. Marionette can't help but grit her teeth in so much bitterness.

How could he make her one of his tools unknowingly, that all along, his acts were all just a pretense?

She looked at him straight at his eyes. However, the man remained still, he didn't even bother to look away. Marionette can feel, that this man is not even guilty of what he did.

The side of the man's lips rose before pulling her into his body. "And so? What is it to you, Rion?"

"Let go of me, you lowly bastard!"

Marionette tried her best to get away but in her disappointment. He didn't even flinch a little. Rather, the man leaned to kiss her ears sensually.

At the sudden move, she gasped.

"Lowly bastard, you say? Is that how you called the Crown Prince, I, your own brother?"

She shrieked when the man, who was known as the Crown Prince, bit and licked her ears.

"Stop! Stop! You can't do this to me! Stop playing with me, I'm not a tool!"

The Crown Prince lowly chuckled on her. "Calm down, sweet. You're not just a mere tool for me. Remember that. You're my possession, my one and only jewel."
