*Selene's POV* Where is that thing? I threw another peice if clothing over my head and grumbled at the empty open suitcase before me. Still not here. I looked around at the mess I made in the room and sighed,where could my pills be? Fine,I confess that lying to Dominic about taking the meds probably wasnt my wisest moment but I think its highly unfair for the universe to punish me by hiding the medicine entirely. “What are you looking for?”Ares's voice asked behind me. “You still aren't ready yet?” I ignored him and begin checking in the drawers,not bothering about the state or tidiness of the room. Ares leaned against the door frame and watched me helplessly look around,after five minutes of unsuccessful hunting,I finally decided to drop the no speaking ban. “If this is one of your tricks Ares,I swear,youll regret it big time.” “What exactly am I being accused of here?” “My pills.”I stated,pointing accusingly. “You were the ones with the bag during the entire trip and no

*Yolanda's POV* “Yes,we are in close talks with the hospital and trying to get her discharged,we intend to accept Noelle with love and open arms,we was taken advantage of and manipulated by the beta in collaboration with Selene–as you know,Selene is the biggest threat to the royal marriage and I guess this time she won.” Some lights flashed and pictures were taken,I kept my face straight,refusing to even acknowledge the presence of Athena beside me,who was staring me down with eyes that I'm very positive would catch on fire with just a handful of gas. “You mentioned that Noelle was vulnerable and taken advantage of by Elais–does that mean he's the only one who's going to be punished for attempting to corrupt the royal blood?” “We are trying to ensure that Luna is mentally well,so even if there's a punishment,it'll be light,as she has already done the right thing by taking out the bastard from her stomach.” Athena reached under the table and squeezed my hand,I pulled my hand fro

*Greta's POV* I knocked on the door again,feeling a small wave of anger about to rush through me. What's so hard about opening a damn door–I already wasted time trying to get through this makeshift security of hers. A woman in a dress that could pass as lingerie walked by chewing gum. “Hello,”I began nicely. “Looking for a good time?”she grinned. I almost jolted out of my skin,what about me looked like I was looking for a night companion. “No,no I'm looking for Cassie.I was told this was her office. Is she here?” She walked closer to me,and I moved back,my eyes widening in horror. “Is that really what you came for or are you just shy?”she held an immense level of bold eye contact for the words she was saying. “What?” “We don't just sexual desires here,you can be free with me–” I've had enough of this crap. “Look here–” She burst into bubbly laughter. “Look how flustered you are,might as well pass as a tomato with those red cheeks,I was just joking.” I did not find it

*Dominic's POV* “Have you been taking your meds?”I asked,signing the last documents on my desk. “Yeah,yeah.”Selene replied,bored. “Is he corporating?”I asked further, “Is he buying into the act?” “If he wasn't,he wouldn't still be here now,would he?” “Dont get mad at me Mia cara,I'm just checking in.” Selene did a loud sigh,its been two days since she left with him,the least she could do was pretend to be excited when she spoke to me,maybe I was being too harsh“Have you managed to make sure he won't get any news from here as well?” “Surely you don't doubt my capabilities Dominic,talking to you like this is risky and he might catch me and I don't know if you are familiar with losing but I do not lose,and if anyone,even you–gets in my way,I won't hesitate.” “Okay,okay,calm down”I obliged. “I guess I was just missing you.” I couldn't afford to anger her now,we'll fix her tone when she's back. “One call per day,”she said firmly. “I'm staying here for merely a few days,I assur

*Elais's POV* “We can't get in contact with Ares..”the man said in a near whisper as if scared that raising his voice will materialise the situation and make things more real. “Then what am I paying you for?”Athena asked, walking to him, he bowed his head and cowered back “I don't care what you idiots do but have Ares on the phone by tonight or you'll all be jobless. Am I clear?” “Yes Ma'am.”he muttered. “Leave!” The man scurried away and closed the door behind him. Athena walked calmly to the desk and faced me. “Elais,do you understand the gravity of the situation yet?”All I wanted to do was be beside Noelle,comforting her right now“Yes.”“This is a mess!”Athena yelled,tearing newspaper after newspaper on her desk. “Our monarchy is hanging on a thread,a thread you just snapped at with scissors.” I tapped on the table.“You have jeopardised any lick of respect the public had for the royal family by failing to keep your dick in your pants!” I sighed. “And there's no w

*Selene's POV* I leaned in,ghosting my lips over Ares's,close enough to melt into his skin,but far enough to pull back when I wanted to. I don't know how much confidence in myself I had to not sleep with him during this trip,but that's the game,its a bite and blow,being fast and cunning enough that it remains flirtatious and not just plain flat annoying,I've done it several times before,this will be no different. He took the bait and attempted to kiss me but I pulled back and fought the twisting sensation at my lips to form a victory curl. He frowned,and waited. I felt my heart almost drop at his disapproving look but I had to keep an upper hand,I shined up and started for phase two. I unbuttoned his crisp white shirt and kissed his neck,leaving red lip stick on my trail. I tugged on his collar to a point of crumbling its ironed bodice between my fingers as I moved. I wanted his external appearance to reflect the dishevelled interior of what I was about to leave him. Something
