The Flower's Book Five: Marigold's Story

Marigold

I have swopped one cage for another.

To the outside world, I have it all. I have a handsome, powerful and successful husband. I live in a beautiful mansion with people to wait on me at every beck and call. I am no longer a Flower, but a queen. A queen to Jonathon Idle. His own slave to abuse in every way possible. Worst of all, I chose to be his queen. I have other relying me, others to keep safe. No matter what happens, I cannot break.

So, with every kiss, every smile I give my Husband, I am waiting, waiting and plotting for the day when he will die, and he will. His days are numbered, and we will all be free. Free from pain and free to love who we want.

James

Brothers cut from the same cloth. Isn't that the saying? Henry and Jonathon may be, but not me. I am the brother of the Idle men who have caused so much pain to others. I am Jonathon's second, he trusts me and thinks I would never betray him. But he couldn't be further from the truth. I am betraying him with every single breath I take. It's all a mask as I find a way to finally end him. I will do anything I can to keep the ones I love safe, including his golden-haired wife.

Together they are a unit, a force that will do whatever it takes to overthrow the king and free the ones that matter most to them.
