Chapter: Chapter 7(Zephar's pov)My food couldn't get past my throat, his every stare made the food stuck in my throat.“My prince, can I ask you something?”“Ask,”“Ehrm… why are you always looking at me, I'm not doing anything wrong,”“Just eat.” He stood up and went to his bed and laid down facing up. I felt quite at ease, I happily munched on the chicken laps and focused on the berry pie crust, it was only made for royals and can't be seen in an average family's home.The raspberry juice smiled at me and I took the jug and helped myself into my cup and glumped down every drop, I lost myself in eating and forgot I was eating the prince's meal. An expensive fruit cultivated only for the royal family, I ate the grapes and left none of it.“I didn't know you have a large stomach,” I heard the prince say just when I was about to pick up the dried persimmon and drop it.“No, help yourself.” I watched him walk behind me and loosen my hair tie, my long hair fell in its length and he dug his fingers into it

Chapter: Chapter 6(Zephar's pov)My body pressed against the cold walls, I looked down and saw voids surrounding my legs, something beneath gripped them. I was afraid to know what it was, it kept cribbing up and it got to my waist. My spine snapped, I got henged, my mouth spew out blood like running water.I held my burning throat, it was as if I swallowed something very hot. My body slammed hard on the ground and I was dragged away by the void. I couldn't speak, I couldn't fight back, my eyes refused to open.I started hearing voices in my head, Selith was calling my name, I was pressed down. I just couldn't move.“Zephar, wake up, you need to try to come out of it,” I could hear Elsin’s voice. Malek was shouting my name but I couldn't see them, their voices were closer in the dark void.“Zephar? Wake up, just wake you…. You have no excuse to die.” Prince Darius spoke in my ear, everywhere became warm, my body turned hot as I shot up and looked around breathing tirelessly and coughing.“Sixth prince?”

Chapter: Chapter 5(Zephar's pov)The prince’s nose landed on mine, he moved side to side and rubbed my nose with his. I was so shocked that I couldn't move or push him. He was so aggressive, his fingers dug through my hair and I just stood there.He left me and stood straight, his eyes fell to my height and I removed my face. He lifted my chin up again and pulled me closer to his chest.“Call my name again,”“My prince, I can't do that,”“I said, call my name,”“Darius.”He brought his nose close and rubbed mine again again. This time, he was slow and steady as if he was measuring the shape of my nose. My body betrayed me, my hands moved on their own to his chest and I grabbed his robe and held him tight.He continued sending tickles, his hand still on my waist and his other hand roughing my hair. A moan slipped out of my mouth, I pushed him and looked away breathing fast.He didn't say anything, he arranged his robe and went to his seat and sat down facing the window. The food server knocked and I rus

Chapter: Chapter 4(Zephar's pov)Everywhere became quiet, the crowd turned to prince Darius. He didn't flinch, his hand held his sword and his face turned unreadable. He still held me tight so as not to lose sight of me.“Oh! My brother, step away from the servant and explain why you're covered in a dead man's blood,” The fourth prince, Ronan Sylas turned to him."I had a man killed in the eastern corridor," he answered calmly. "He's a servant and I found this on him.” He reached into his coat and pulled out a small black vial with smoke around it. “But I've unalived him," then continued. "He had confessed that someone in this room paid a ransom for him to poison the first prince cup,"“And who did he say paid him?” Ronan narrowed his eyes.He scanned the hall and I noticed his eyes drop at the eighth prince. Vaughn hadn't moved from his seat, his eyes were closed and his hands still on his knees."I don't know yet," he turned back to Ronan. "But we will find out soon, I understand that he's your only

Chapter: Chapter 3(Zephar's pov)The prince's gaze shifted to me, he removed the magic covering my sight and pulled me to my feet. The fear in my eyes, he watched me clutch on my dress and gently pat my hair.“Prepare for the ceremony,” he told me.“But he just said he'll kill you before you get to attend,” I reminded him.“Have you forgotten who I am because I let him slash my robe? I said prepare!!”I took his dress and placed it on the bed. The prince sat down and watched me rub the perfume sack on his clothes. The fragrance lingered in his room allowing us to breathe in his definition of peace and quiet. He stood up and stopped inches from me so I could smell the lavender rising from his skin.I reached for his collar, my fingers brushed the sides as I pulled it over to straighten it up and he stood there and let me work. I fastened his trousers and laced his boots. My very motion was precise, practiced. He sat down and I tied his hair to his style before helping him with his earrings. He stood up

Chapter: Chapter 2(Zephar's pov)“Is this how I die?” I shut my eyes and gripped my dress firmly. Then, I felt my long hair fall to my back and opened my eyes widely and looked up at him. He cut my hair tie into pieces with his sword trick.His face held no expression, no one could read him. He kept staring at me without saying anything. Everywhere was silent until he made a move and completely left the bunker.I fell to the ground trying to understand what just happened, his sword went through my hair tie without touching my hair. My friends ran to me and helped me up. My mind was still blank, Malek sat me down at the waiting bay area.“He spared you?” Elsin was surprised as I was.“Everyone is shocked,” Selith said and I jerked off.“I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet,” A fake cry.“Let me tie your very long hair you have refused to cut, I'll style it into a ponytail, you can do your thing when you get to your dorm,” Elsin said and brushed my hair to the back and styled it.“Wow, so handsome, you're

Chapter: Chapter 7(Nikolai's POV)Before Tristan spoke, the court clerk called the case, announcing the names of the parties involved. The lawyers stood, introduced themselves and confirmed their appearance.“Lawyer Tristan?” He turned to the judge.“Are you sure you want to defend Mr. Jonas?”“Yes, my lord.”The judge glanced through the documents before addressing the matter. The plaintiff's lawyer rose first, explaining the complaint and presenting the evidence supporting their case. “Mrs. Laura here claims she saw Mr. Steven Blake here leaving the hotel room her her husband, Mr. Jonas,”“She claims also that they've had disputes concerning a business transaction and Mr. Steven threatened to kill his friend, Jonas,”“Objection my lord,” Tristan raised his voice.“Objection overruled, prosecutor Harris, please, continue,”“Thank you my lord.”Everyone became quiet apart from Harris, I picked my snacks one piece and squinted my eyes to see the expression on Tristan's face when his objection was overr

Chapter: Chapter 6(Nikolai's POV)The sharp slam of the study door echoed through the penthouse.Tristan strode across the room, his footsteps heavy against the floor. His jaw was clenched, and the file in his hand bent beneath the pressure of his grip.He stopped beside the desk and dragged a hand through his hair. I was jolted from where I was standing, he hadn't set his eyes on me.“Unbelievable.”His voice was low, but the anger beneath it was unmistakable. He paced once, then stopped abruptly, staring at the phone on his desk as though it had personally offended him.Another frustrated breath escaped him. His noise had reached me from the bedroom, I stirred beneath my blanket, I frowned at the disturbance.I was about turning to leave when I heard a second sharp sound, Tristan slammed his drawer shut making my heart race.What could make him this angry in the morning?For a moment, I stood still, blinking into space and waiting for his next move. As I predicted, I heard Tristan's furious voice, it

Chapter: Chapter 5(Nikolai's POV)Tristan threw the blanket back on the bed and I covered myself up and pretended to still be asleep. He could no longer stomach it, as soon as he left, I got up and locked the room and went to relieve myself.I went to the closet and took out a blue bra and flinged it.“What are all these doing here?” I asked myself, the box was filled up with colorful bras.“Am I… omg!!”“More than fifty?” I shouted after counting up to fifty and took out one of the brown bras and wore it, arranged myself and went to get breakfast.I sat down and Mrs. Joyce came to me, smiling like something was amusing her. She placed the menu Tristan had laid out for me to follow in front of me, still smiling.“Mrs. Joyce, why is he still at home, isn't he going for work?” I called her close and whispered to her ear.“He took permission, he said he wants to stay with his lovely wife,” She muttered to my ear and blushed but that sounds irritating to my ears.Grace passed with a cup of coffee and cooki

Chapter: Chapter 4(Tristan's POV)“Fuck,” Nikolai groaned and shrugged me off his back and I rolled off.“Prevert,” he called me and opened the door.“I'll get you more bra and silicone breast my wifey,”“You disgust me, Tristan.” He slammed the door shut, I heard his heavy footsteps until they receded and I got up from the floor and sat down.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and decided to go to find out what Nikolai was up to. I opened the door of my room and saw a mess.“What are all these things, Niko?” I stepped inside.“We are married, right?”“That doesn't give you the right to invade every part of my life you little man,” His eyes widened.“Li… li… little what?” He stood up and went to the closet to drop his clothes and I stopped him. I shaked my head and he shaked his head too.“Who is this guy?” He walked past me and I paced across the room, dragging a hand through my hair.He came out singing a song just to get on my nerves and I held his hand to drag him back. We heard tiptoe at the

Chapter: Chapter 3(Tristan's POV)I was sleeping when Nikolai moved closer to me. I woke up and found him curled against me, his head on my chest and his hand wrapped around my waist.I looked down at him and watched for a moment instead of immediately pushing him away.“So warm,” Nikolai mumbled.Suddenly, he woke up and realized exactly where he was, his cheek pressed against my chest and his arm wrapped around my waist and I was already awake, staring down at him.“Good morning, wife, comfortable?”He moved with the speed of light and stood up and pointed at me with his funny frowned face.“Don't bite your lips,” I teased him.“You moved first, Tristan,”“Says the guy with his head on my chest and his hand wrapped around my waist…. don't be ridiculous.” I laughed and left the room for him in the dining room.Grace served my morning tea and left, I sipped with ease, it's steam moving to my face when I raise the cup. My phone ran and I quickly checked the caller.“Hello, prosecutor Harris, what is it

Chapter: Chapter 2(Nikolai's POV)He placed me gently on the car seat and closed the door, he got in from the other door and started the car.Everyone stood outside cheering for us to drive home safely. My phone kept blasting with Nicholas’call.“He's not saying anything, is he not going to expose me yet?” I asked myself.He started the wheel and we drove off, he placed his hand on my thigh and I slapped it off, my face straight on the road, I just want to be finally free from him.“Your brother said you're missing at my wedding, are you?”“Why haven't you said anything or exposed me?”“This marriage is tied to an important business merger. If the marriage is terminated now, the deal will collapse and our both families will suffer financially and you especially don't want that,”“He's strangely right,” I told myself.I didn't want to look at him, I faced my phone then through my glass and back to my phone.We got to his penthouse, the tight security opened up after he gave them his card. He drove in an
