Introduction
A pesar de las numerosas dificultades, Cercei recibió el amor y el cuidado de sus padres, y se mantuvo humilde. Aunque su Alfa nunca los respetó y los trató como simples sirvientes, su familia encontró la felicidad. Sin embargo, todo cambió drásticamente en su decimoctavo cumpleaños cuando su Alfa mató sin piedad a su padre sin una razón válida y le aplastó el corazón sin piedad después de desenterrarlo.
Enfurecida y en busca de venganza, Cercei se sintió impotente hasta que se encontró con el rey Alfa del Norte, con quien se acostó. Este encuentro fortuito cambió su vida de forma abrupta, desvelando todos los secretos y mentiras que su madre había ocultado cuidadosamente durante dieciocho años. La revelación hizo añicos la confianza de Cercei en su familia y sus padres perfectos, y la dejó cuestionándose todo lo que había conocido.

Chapter 1
POV de Cercei
Me limpié suavemente las gotas de sudor de la frente, mi cuerpo cansado inclinado sobre la tarea de fregar el suelo. El peso del cepillo en mi mano se sentía más pesado con cada momento que pasaba.
—¡Dios, ¿puedes apurarte?! —la aguda voz de Vienna, la hija de nuestro Alfa, perforó el aire desde detrás de mí.
—Claro, señorita —respondí, mi voz llena de respeto, y aumenté la velocidad de mi fregado.
Vienna había derramado convenientemente pintura en el suelo, lo cual afirmaba que fue accidental, pero su intención maliciosa era evidente. Ahora era mi responsabilidad rectificar el desastre que había creado.
—Estúpida —murmuró Vienna entre dientes mientras me daba la espalda. Con un último acto de crueldad, pateó la lata de pintura que yacía a mi lado antes de salir de la cocina.
Me sentía completamente exhausta, y dejé escapar un suspiro cansado al observar la magnitud del trabajo que aún me quedaba. Había estado fregando el suelo durante lo que parecía una eternidad, pero la pintura se aferraba obstinadamente a la superficie, resistiendo todos mis esfuerzos por quitarla.
Una vez que estuve segura de que Vienna había dejado la habitación, dejé el cepillo con cuidado y me permití un momento de descanso.
Apoyada contra la pared fría, podía sentir el dolor irradiando por mi brazo, el dolor punzante en mis piernas y la tensión en mi espalda. El costo de la lucha física era evidente.
—Sabes que Vienna te estrangularía si te viera descansando —la voz de María rompió de repente el silencio, haciéndome sobresaltar.
—Dios, me diste un buen susto —jadeé, mi mano instintivamente presionando contra mi pecho para calmar el latido acelerado de mi corazón.
María no pudo evitar reírse mientras se sentaba a mi lado, disfrutando de un breve descanso del mundo exigente en el que estábamos atrapadas.
A pesar de haber comenzado recientemente como una de las sirvientas de los Crescent, María se había convertido rápidamente en mi compañera más cercana, aunque yo había trabajado más tiempo que ella. Quizás era porque teníamos la misma edad o compartíamos el mismo destino, soportando la tiranía de Vienna Crescent.
Mis padres habían dedicado sus vidas a servir al Alfa, Remus Crescent, mi padre como su mayordomo y mi madre como su doncella personal, nunca habían recibido una pizca de gratitud o respeto por parte del hombre al que servían fielmente.
Apoyando mi cabeza en el hombro de María, no pude evitar expresar mi frustración.
—¿Qué crees que alimenta la perseverancia de Vienna para hacer de mi vida un infierno?
—Envidia —respondió María con un toque de diversión en su voz.
No pude evitar reírme ante su respuesta.
—Sí, claro. ¿Quién no envidiaría mi ropa andrajosa, mi extraordinario talento para fregar suelos y mis tan de moda zapatos vintage desgastados? —dije, moviendo los dedos de los pies para enfatizar.
Un cambio repentino en el tono de María me tomó por sorpresa, y dejé de reír. Era raro que hablara en serio.
—Porque eres más hermosa que ella —dijo, su voz sincera y sin ningún atisbo de broma.
Me detuve, impactada por la sinceridad en sus palabras.
—¿Podemos cambiar de tema? Prefiero un poco de burla ligera en lugar de ser tan seria, por favor. Es mucho más cómodo —dije, intentando aligerar el ambiente.
Ambas estallamos en carcajadas, sabiendo que las bromas de María provenían de un cariño genuino y no de ninguna mala intención. A diferencia de Vienna, que encontraba alegría en mi miseria, María usaba las bromas como una forma de expresar su afecto por mí. A través de estas interacciones juguetonas, encontramos consuelo y formamos un vínculo único.
—¡Frega el suelo, niña tonta! —María imitó burlonamente la voz de Vienna, imitando los gestos de nuestra torturadora, lo que nos hizo reír aún más.
Incluso exageró al voltear su cabello de la misma manera que Vienna, y la vista provocó una risa genuina en mí.
—¡Vete, vuelve al jardín! —repliqué juguetonamente, despidiendo a María con un gesto de la mano.
Ella hizo una cara exageradamente indignada y volvió a voltear su cabello de manera dramática, provocando otra risita en mí. La vista de mi propio reflejo bailando en el suelo mojado y enjabonado solo añadió a mi alegría, haciendo el momento aún más encantador.
A lo largo de mi vida, muchos han expresado su aprecio por lo que veían como mi belleza. Aunque sus cumplidos eran amables, nunca resonaron verdaderamente en mí. Usualmente respondía con gratitud o devolvía el cumplido. Sin embargo, nunca consideré abrazar sus palabras de todo corazón.
No obstante, la idea de María de que Vienna envidiaba mi belleza me parecía completamente absurda.
No podía entender por qué María había dejado de lado su racionalidad para entretener tal idea. Vienna y yo teníamos la misma altura, pero su figura exudaba una elegancia madura con curvas gráciles, mientras que yo tenía una complexión menuda. Nuestro largo cabello castaño difería, ya que el mío caía en ondas, mientras que el suyo permanecía impecablemente liso, dándole un aspecto sofisticado. Sus ojos color avellana brillaban, contrastando con mis ojos verdes esmeralda heredados de mi madre. A pesar de mi tez clara, la piel de Vienna era tan pura y blanca como el papel.
Aparte de estas distinciones, compartíamos muchas características similares, como narices puntiagudas, labios carnosos y pecas que solo emergían bajo la suave caricia del sol.
La extraña semejanza entre nosotras puede haber alimentado su desdén hacia mí. A primera vista, uno podría incluso confundirnos con hermanas. Sin embargo, para Vienna, la única hija y heredera del clan MoonStone, ser comparada con una sirvienta, aunque sea brevemente, debe ser el insulto definitivo.
Después de lo que pareció una eternidad de fregar, encontré alivio en el jardín de la mansión, mi santuario. Entre las flores vibrantes y los árboles imponentes, descubrí una tranquilidad que superaba cualquier otra parte de la finca.
Cuando paseaba por el enorme jardín, sumergiéndome en la fragancia de las flores y los cantos de los pájaros, una vista capturó mi atención. Allí estaba María, luchando valientemente una batalla contra un grupo de flores marchitas con una escoba. A pesar de encontrar diversión en su situación, una punzada de simpatía tiró de mi corazón.
Al enterarse de la sensibilidad de María hacia las flores, Vienna no dudó en explotarla y le asignó la tarea punitiva de cuidar el jardín.
María, en un estado de desesperación, reunió el valor para pedir misericordia humildemente. Sin embargo, los deseos de Vienna siempre prevalecían.

"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
