Chapter: Chapter 4:The message The door creaked as Rosy pushed it open, her fingers trembling against the wood of her house. Everything inside her screamed don't go in, but she knew what will happen if she turned back . She stepped in anyway , the silence of her aunt's compound weighing on her chest like a concrete block. It was the kind of silence that didn't last. The kind that only paused so it could strike louder. The air smelled of soap and burnt oil, but beneath that something sharp and bitter. As soon as the door closed behind her, she heard her response. “So you have finally remembered you have a home?” Her aunt's voice sliced through the silence like a knife,sharp and angry. Rosy flinched .She turned slowly. Her aunt was standing in the hallway, arms folded, eyes blazing like the heat from an open flame. Rosy hadn't even dropped her bag before the yelling started. “Where the hell have you been, Roseline?” She çalled out her full name.it always came out when she was in trouble. When did w

Chapter: Chapter 3:The man Stephen. That was his name. The name of the man Rosy had spent the night with. The man who took her upstairs, made her feel like the world was spinning and not in a beautiful way. The man she now shared silence with in a room too quiet for comfort. He tried to wrap his arms around her the moment they reached the suite, pulling her close like what happened between them gave him permission. Like her body was still his even after the damage he had done. “No”,She whispered, twisting away from him. Her voice was soft but sharp like the tip of the knife that only needed pressure to cut. “Leave me alone”.He froze. His hands hovered in the air for a moment before he slowly dropped them. No one had ever told him to get out, not with that face, not with that money. Not with his presence, so polished and expensive it felt like he didn't walk.But Rosy didn't care about that. She didn't care about his face or the amount of money he had. All she could think about was the night.

Chapter: Chapter 2:The sting of shame I stared at myself in the elevator mirror like I didn't recognise the girl staring back. My brown skin was usually smooth, clear and unapologetically mine. But now it was covered in red blotches. Not just any marks, but his marks. His mouth had left them on my neck, my collarbone… My chest . They were everywhere. Loud, messy whispers of a night I didn't remember agreeing to. My fingers trembled as I pulled the collar of my cloth higher, trying to hide the evidence of what i couldn't remember or didn't want to remember. My mouth tasted like cotton and regret.I felt so irritated by my skin.Shame is a suffocating thing. It creeps in through your pores and settles heavy in your lungs. I couldn't breathe, and was deeply confused . How did I end up in that room?. I pulled my jacket tighter around me, like it could erase what had already been done. What if someone saw me like this?God, I'd be ruined. The hotel had strict policies about staff conduct. I co

Chapter: Chapter 1:A stranger's sheet There are mornings when you wake up and everything feels new. The air smells like hope,the light tastes like peace, and for a moment, it's like the world has forgotten to be cruel. This isn't one of those mornings.This one wraps around me like wet wool- heavy,Itchy, suffocating. I blinked slowly,my head pounding like a drum echoing through my skull. My limbs felt sore and heavy,my body aching as though I had been working for days without rest. Everything felt wrong. The first thing my eyes landed on was a pair of worn out slippers on the floor,slightly crooked. My slippers. That was familiar, but then my gaze trailed upward to the lavish Chandelier overhead, the silk bed sheets wrapped around my naked body, the quiet sound of air conditioning. As I turned left and right confused, the next thing I realised was that I was naked. Lying on a bed I didn't recognise. Panic crawled through my bloodstream like poison. Where am i? I tried to sit up but something or some

Chapter: : The final chapter The palace was quiet—too quiet. Even the birds that usually fluttered outside the grand windows of the king’s chamber were absent, as if nature itself mourned the weariness of the man within.Alexander sat on the edge of his bed, the heavy robe of royalty pooling around him like a shroud. The golden crown, once proudly perched upon his head, now lay abandoned on the floor, its polished surface reflecting nothing but a broken legacy.He had sent the servants away hours ago, requesting solitude. But truth be told, he had been alone for far longer than that—ever since Daniela left, ever since the boy vanished. Ever since he traded his humanity for power.The voices from the past echoed relentlessly in his mind."You want her to be queen? There is a way…""Put this powder in her drink. It will cloud her mind and draw her to you.""Rub this oil on your palms before you touch her—she will not resist.""You must act fast. The elders are watching. You need an heir."At the time, it all seemed

Chapter: Chapter 143: The kings silent battle The palace was quieter these days—too quiet for a man who once ruled with noise, power, and pride. Alexander sat by his window, fingers toying with a half-filled goblet of wine. Outside, the moonlight brushed the edges of the thatched palace roof, casting ghostly shadows on the walls. Chisom had long drifted to sleep, her breathing soft, steady. But Alexander was wide awake—again.It had been six moons since she was brought to him, her skin soft as silk, her smile gentle, her body yielding. Each night, she came to his bed, and each night, he held hope in his loins and in his heart. But morning always came with the same bitter emptiness. No signs. No whispers of cravings. No swelling belly. No child.He had tried everything—spiced roots, fertility herbs from the palace medicine woman, and even late-night rituals performed by the native priest. Still… nothing.Alexander rose from the bed, pacing the cold marble floor with heavy feet. A fire burned in the hearth, but it did little to tha

Chapter: Chapter 142: A home built with love The morning sun filtered through the bright white curtains of their new apartment, casting golden rays across the hardwood floor. Lydia stirred beneath the duvet, her hand instinctively reaching out to the other side of the bed.Empty.She blinked, sat up, and glanced around. The soft scent of brewed coffee and toasted bread teased her nose. A smile curled on her lips.He’s in the kitchen again.Throwing on a light robe, she padded down the hallway and into the warm, open space where Gabriel stood shirtless, wearing joggers and flipping pancakes with an exaggerated chef’s flair.“You’re going to burn them,” Lydia teased, leaning against the doorframe.Gabriel turned, spatula in hand, and grinned. “And good morning to my beautiful wife.”She walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. “Good morning, chef husband.”He kissed the top of her head, then plated a stack of fluffy pancakes. “I thought we could eat on the balcony today. The sun’s not too harsh yet.”They

Chapter: Chapter 141: Shadows in the palace walls The early morning sun filtered through the intricate lattice windows of the palace, casting golden shapes across the polished floors. Drums beat faintly in the distance, signaling the dawn of a new day—and a new queen.Chisom sat quietly on the edge of a carved mahogany bed, her feet barely touching the polished ground. Around her, the royal maids fluttered like bees, tying her hair into delicate loops, rubbing her arms with perfumed oil, and whispering instructions she barely absorbed.“Your new robe, my queen,” one of the maids said, presenting a cloth woven with silver threads and royal blue patterns. “You must wear it before you greet the king.”Chisom nodded faintly, still unsure how to wear the title of "queen" in her heart. The palace air was thick—not just with incense, but with the weight of expectation. She could feel it in the walls, in the eyes of the elders who measured her with unspoken judgment, and in the stiff bow of the guards who had served another before her.As sh

Chapter: Chapter 140:The choice of a king The palace air brimmed with anticipation, thick like a brewing storm. Inside the grand hall, the scent of burning incense drifted from gold-plated bowls, curling in the air like whispers from the ancestors. Soft drums echoed in the background, played by two palace boys, steady and ceremonial. The marble floors had been scrubbed to glass-like shine, reflecting the rows of candles burning along the corridor.Alexander sat on the throne, robed in deep crimson, his royal crown resting heavy on his head. His face was unreadable—a mask of calm, yet behind his eyes, something stirred. Pain. Memory. Resignation. This was not how he envisioned choosing a queen.Beside him, a guard stood silently, holding a scroll with the names of the maidens. The chamberlain motioned, and the doors opened.One by one, the virgins began to enter.The first maiden, Awele, stepped forward with her head lowered, her feet bare, anklets chiming with each timid step. She was beautiful—smooth dark skin, full lips, an

Chapter: Chapter 139: The search for a new queen The sky above the palace bled into a melancholic gray, the sun hiding behind thick clouds as though mourning with the king. The royal garden, once Daniela’s favorite place, stood untended. Wildflowers grew in stubborn defiance through cracks in the once manicured paths. The scent of blooming hibiscus clashed with the scent of time—that old, dusty silence that lingered in places where laughter had died.King Alexander stood still on the palace balcony, arms crossed behind his back, cloaked in heavy velvet. He wasn't the same man he was two years ago. The weight of loss had carved lines into his once-youthful face. His shoulders drooped beneath invisible burdens. Power still clothed him, yes, but it no longer fitted him like pride—it clung to him like grief.His eyes scanned the horizon—the same trail Daniela had once fled down with the child. The same trail the guards had failed to watch. His jaw clenched at the memory.Every now and then, he imagined seeing her figure walking back, ch

It was her final year, but nothing felt final in a triumphant way, it felt like a slow, humiliating death of everything she once believed in. Ever since the incident, the confrontation with principal Hawthorne, the accusations and the public disgrace . Anna had been stripped of more than just her reputation. She was denied Access to the dining hall in the dormitory. No official announcement had been made, but the message was clear: “You are no longer one of us”. She walked past the kitchen like a ghost, her stomach gnawing at itself, but if she dared step in, the cook will chase her away like a stray dog. Sometimes the younger students whispered behind her back

Chapter: Chapter 10: Broken vows mended heartsAnna's feet pounded against the cold hallway floor as if she could outrun evil itself. She clutched Olivia's journal to her chest like a sacred relic,her breath ragged, her eyes wide with fear and fire. Behind her, footsteps thundered. Doors creaked open. Voices called her name- not with concern, but with intent. She burst through the side corridor, turning sharply towards the administrative place. She headed towards the principal's office. She burst into the principal's office without knocking, shoving the door open so hard it slammed against the wall.“Principal Hawthorne!” She shouted. The head of the school,a tall, grey haired man with a stone set jaw and eyes colder than marble, looked up slowly from his desk. “Anna,” He said calmly but cold. “What is the meaning of all this disruption?”. She didnt answer or apologise for barging in. She just went straight to the point. “ I need to speak to you now”, She said, voice hoarse but determined. The principal blinked as if he

Chapter: Chapter 9: Broken vows mended hearts There was a typhoid outbreak in the college that claimed life of students.Spring painted the world in soft particles,its touch reviving trees, teasing the earth with budding wildflowers and warming the walls of the public school like a promise. Birds returned to their nests and the once frozen grounds hummed with the Stirrings of life. But within those walls, where laughter should have returned with the season, a silent war raged.Typhoid was rampant in the school that it destroyed so many souls. Coughs also echoed down the hallways. Feverish cries shattered the hush of classrooms turned into infirmaries. It was a public school so they were not treated well since their education was free.Nearly half the girls fell to the illness, their bodies too fragile from hunger and bitter winter's to fight back.Anna remained one of the few untouched by sickness, and for this she was released into the wild beauty of May’s embrace.

Chapter: Chapter 8: Broken vows mended hearts It had almost been a week Anna had been looking for her friend Oliva. She had cried so much thinking she was dead. Even the teachers and the dormitory mates had forgotten about her when they didn't see her for almost a week. It was only Anna that still felt hurt because she and Oliva were close.The school bell clanged in the distance, its echo fading into the cold dusk. The girls poured out of the classrooms, their chatter muffled by the bite of the wind. But Anna didn't move. She sat beneath the old guava tree behind the dining hall, arms wrapped tightly around her knees, her back trembling with each quiet sob. She had never felt more alone. And then she could hear footsteps . She flinched and was about to run. But it wasn't a ghost or a teacher coming to scare her. It was Olivia. Anna stared in disbelief. “Olivia?” Her voice cracked.” Where have you been? We have all been looking for you.I …I thought something happened to you”.Olivia hesitated for ju

Chapter: CHAPTER 7: Broken vows mended hearts The sharp wind clawed at the girl's threadbare shawls as they trudged down the long gravel road leading to the church. It was Sunday , the day of worship and Sunday walks to Mr. Peter's church were no respite from the Cruelty of School life, they were just another reminder of their poverty and powerlessness. Anna's fingers were raw from the cold, her thin shoes offering little protection against the cold ground. She winced with each step, her stomach aching from days of near starvation. Despite her own hunger, Anna had taken to giving away the larger portions of her meager meals to the younger girl's , those whose hollow cheeks and trembling hands stirred a sharp ache in her heart. She didnt have much to give, but it felt like the only power she still possessed- the power to choose kindness, even when the world offered none.The church loomed ahead, it was a Gray stone building with an iron cross on its roof, surrounded by frost- Covered trees that rattled like bones i

The thin blanket barely held in any warmth, and her breath rose heavily as she sat up. Around her, the other girls stirred rubbing their cold stiffened hands together before shuffling from their hard mattresses.Anna had barely gotten used to the cold stone floors beneath her feet, and this particular morning was the worst of all. The water in the communal basin had frozen overnight, Leaving the girls to splash their faces with whatever droplets remain unfrozen.Teeth chattering, Anna scrubbed her face and pulled her rough, tattered uniform over her thin frame. The uniform, once a deep shade of blue, had faded over time to a dull grayish one, the fabric worn thin in places. She ran her fingers through her tangled hair, tying it into a loose braid before stepping into the freezing hallway where other girls were already shu
