CASSANDRA NIGHTINGALE….I left the hotel at five o'clock in the morning. Mr Iceberg was still sleeping. I left a 'Thank you' note for him. I knew that I had thanked him last night. But still, I thanked him one more time. As he had to face a lot of trouble for me.First of all, he saved me from drowning. And then he took me to the hotel. And he stayed the whole night there on that uncomfortable couch for me. He could have left me alone. But he stayed just to make sure I was fine. He was truly a gentleman. I did not know that I would ever meet such a gentleman in my life. When there were many demons lurking around me to devour me. I reached home and found everything silent. Everyone was sleeping at that hour. So I began heading to my room silently. When I was passing the living room yesterday's scene flashed in my eyes. Taking me back to the moment when they told me that they sold me in the name of Marriage.FLASHBACK My legs felt numb and could not take the weight of my body. I col
TRISTAN KING…..I was sleeping peacefully when my sleep was disturbed by the sound of my phone. My phone had been ringing continuously. I opened my eyes feeling irritated. The moment I opened my eyes it caught me off guard as I was sleeping on the couch that too in our hotel’s suite room. Why am I here? Then the last night's incident rewinds in my memory.I looked around the room but there was no trace of her existence. As if she was not here. Suddenly something caught my attention that was lying on the coffee table under the paperweight and it was a chit. I extended my hand to take it and something was written on it."I don't know your name. So Thank you Mr stranger. Thank you for saving my life. I can't repay your favor. Because of me, You've to bear so much. I'm sorry for that. I hope you'll forgive me. Once again Thanks a lot."A smile crept on my lips. Why she's sorry? She's really stupid.I shook my head and got up from the couch to freshen up."Aahh!" A yelp came out of my
ALESSANDRA….. I sighed looking at my book as I remembered Sebastian's message. He told me not to wait for him as he would be working late at tonight. I wanted to thank him for helping me last night but then thought he might be busy so I let it be. “Why are you sighing continuously?” I snapped my head to look at Reece. He was looking at me, tilting his head. I can't help but stare at his gorgeous face that was glowing under the sunlight. Indeed, this guy was handsome. And his greenish-grey eyes were the most beautiful, and captivating. "I know I'm handsome but if you keep staring at me like this it will make me feel uncomfortable. Why don't you take a picture? It will last long.” I snapped out of my daze and blinked my eyes at him. He was holding a teasing smile on his face and I let out an annoyed scowl. “Oh, please! I wasn't looking at you. I was thinking about someone else. You made a mistake." I waved my hand in the air and he laughed. “You don't have to be embarrassed about
ALESSANDRA……. “Don't forget to take a painkiller later. It will hurt a lot." I was amazed by Reece's concern for me. Why does he care about me so much? “Okay, doctor. I will keep that in my mind." I said in a mocking tone. But earned a glare in return. “I'm serious, Sandy. You can't neglect such wounds. Though the Doctor has dressed it properly but tomorrow don't forget to change the dressing. Or it will get infected. And yeah, stay away from water for some days. Let it heal first then you can spend the whole day in water as much as you want.” I laughed at his last line. "Now don't laugh. Why is your house near the forest? Are you some kind of vampire or werewolf? I have read in the books that they live in such places. Tell me, are you one of them? You are even beautiful like them.” Reece's sudden question caught me off guard and I kept looking at him in shock. And he suddenly burst into a guffaw. “What! I was kidding, babes.” He was still laughing when I was breathless. He didn
ALESSANDRA……“Whoa! You got yourself a bodyguard.” As I was passing the main gate I heard Reece's surprised voice beside me.“Kind of," I said flatly not liking everyone's gaze on me. Sebastian told me he would send me with Beta Celix but Delta Kaiza showed up in the morning to bring me to my college. And he didn't come alone. He brought four more warriors with him. It was so embarrassing.“I thought you said you are capable of handling this situation. Then what's this? Are you afraid after what happened the day before yesterday?” He never left a chance to tease me. And I glared at him."I'm not afraid of. It's just that my family is a little overprotective of me.” I told him and he nodded.“They should be. Well, how is your wound now? And why didn't you come yesterday, I missed you.” He wrapped his arm around my shoulder but I slipped away from him."I told you, I don't like being touched,” I yelled at him in a whisper and he raised his hands in surrender."It was a friendly gesture.
SEBASTIAN……“Don't worry, I will be there on time." I heard my own voice but everything around me was dark.“I will be waiting for you, my love. To celebrate our fifth marriage anniversary with you. I'm the luckiest woman in this world and you love me so much. And I can't thank the Moon Goddess that she paired me with you.”I still remember the beautiful smile on her face when she said that. Then she leaned and pressed her lips on mine. We kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. The kiss was short but full of love and passion. I felt blessed to have her in my life.Love. This word was always close to my heart. I have learned about love at a very young age. I have seen how my parents love each other. I have watched how a man loves a woman, just like my father loves my mother. I wanted to feel that intense feeling. That's how I want to love my woman or more but not less.When I used to watch my parents, I used to adore them and think I would love my fated mate like him. When I rea
CASSANDRA…. I opened my eyes and found myself in a different place. I looked around carefully then I realized that I'm in a hospital. I looked down at my wrist. There was an IV attached to my wrist. At first I couldn't understand why I was even here. Then I tried to recall what happened to me and how I ended up here. I closed my eyes and tried to recall, then I went to the flashback. I remembered how Mother beat me with the lash to death. I was almost near the experience of death. But Alas! I was still alive. A sigh left out of my mouth and I looked at the white ceiling blankly. I thought I could be free now. But no. My all happiness shattered into pieces when I found myself alive. Suddenly I heard a clicking sound and with no time the door opened. I looked at the door and saw a man coming inside. Fear of the ball started to grow inside my stomach. I clutched the bedsheet into my fist tightly in fear. I tried not to shake. "Don't worry. I will not do you any harm." The per
ALESSANDRA….. “Melanie, do you think Sebastian will like it?” I asked Melanie and she nodded her head happily. “Of course, he would like it. My mouth is watering just from its fragrance, how delicious would it be to eat? I'm sure today he’s going to kiss your hands, my Luna.” A rush of heat reached my face, making me flush only thinking about him kissing me. I turned the gas off and washed my hands. “Serve it on the table. I will go and freshen up. And don't forget to call Sebastian for dinner.” I instructed her while leaving the kitchen. “My Luna, it would be good if you call him yourself.” She was holding a teasing smile on her face. “Don't worry, I will leave after arranging the table. So that you can have a great time together.” She winked at me and I blushed hard. Me and Sebastian? Have some romantic moments together. Not a bad idea. After freshening up I changed my simple top into a loose deep V-neck black top with pink shorts. I looked at the reflection before me in the m
