Eden hurriedly took her bath and rushed out of the bathroom, wrapping herself with a towel. She made towards door to lock it incase her husband tried to come in. Just as she was about to hold the lock, the door suddenly opened. Eden was taken aback as she quickly pulled the towel to herself. A gasp escaped her lips as she took few steps backward.“I am very sorry if I startled you” Lucian spoke, he realized he had scared her and he quickly apologized to calm her down. She sighed in relief as she blushed. Him seeing her in a towel made her blush so hard.She hurriedly dashed to the bathroom with her clothes to dress up. Few minutes after, she walked out of the bathroom but avoided his gaze as she was so shy and did not look him in the face. He however noticed it and smiled, without uttering a word. Together, they went of the room and headed outside quickly, to the elders' quarters. A meeting has been made on behalf of her.“We have to make them think we are indeed lovers so….we have t
“They are on their way to the elders' quarters” Maya announced to her mother as she walked in. Her mother was mixing a cup of tea that she was about to consume in the living room when her daughter suddenly burst in.“Oh my!” Maya's mother held her chest. The last thing she had expected was to see Maya at that very time. She had not even expected to see anyone but there she was. Her heels clanking on the floor, she walked to a chair and sat. She was exhausted although several thoughts still ran through my mind. Was Lucian going to jilt her? No, he dared not. The love between them both was quite strong and he would not even dare to do such. “Who?” Her mother questioned, rolling her eyes. She had managed to have her heart back to normal. She was surprised. “I have always told you to say whatever is in your mind. Be specific!” “Come on, mother! I hate you so much!” She yelled angrily. She sighed and bent her head. Maya's mother was quiet as she stared at Maya in shock and surprise. Wha
Maya picked up her mobile phone as it rang. She looked up at her mother and her mother looked at her as well. She was indeed surprised and so was the mother who did not know who was on the call with her. “Who is it?” Maya's mother questioned, as her daughter kept staring at her phone. “It’s….. It’s Lucian” She informed.“Come on, pick it up. Why are you still stating at it?” Her mother questioned.Maya had always been the one to rush to pick up Lucian's call but now, she was staring at the phone not uttering a word. Just like she had been pinched, she hurriedly pick up the call and placed it to her ear. “Hey…” A smile formed on her face but then, it suddenly disappeared. Her mother could not help but notice her countenance. She knew she was not happy. As soon as Maya dropped the call, her mother. Held her hands. “The elders” She closed her eyes as she wanted to be as calm as possible. “Lucian and Eden had gone to the elders today but unfortunately, they asked them to return and Ex
It felt like yesterday when her parents had died. Time flew so quickly. In a twinkle of an eye, twelve days was already up. Eden sighed as she took a final glance at herself in the mirror. She was satisfied by the look she saw but she was scared. Again, Lucian had gone out to make an important call and although she tried to take her mind off it. She could not under stand why he had always home out each time he was to make a call. Was he hiding something from her? Well, it was his personal business and nothing more. Whatever he did was none of her concern. She had a lot to deal with including her love for him. Eden had called Maya few minutes ago and she wondered why Maya had not been there. She had been trying to get to her for days but her reaction had been a turn off. Eden had tried to visit her to know what is wrong but each time she got there, Maya's mother alys told her Maya had gone out or perhaps had gone for something important. Had she offended Maya? She just could not und
Shock was an understatement of how Maya felt. Her face transformed into a ball of frown. She was so upset and walked out immediately. Eden loosened herself from Lucian's grip as she wondered what had gone wrong. What was wrong with her friend? Lucian shook his head what he had gotten himself into. He knew how much he would have to convince Maya that it was not what she was thinking. “Excuse me” Eden said and tried to run after Maya but Lucian was quick to hild her again. “Be calm” He looked her straight in the eyes. Maya was just being selfish and he knew that. She had initiated the whole plan. Why then was she acting that way? “My friend… Maya, she……” Eden tried to talk but no word came out of her mouth. She stuttered as she was worried. “Nothing is wrong. Be calm.i will go after her instead. Right now, you do not need to stress yourself, okay?”Eden nodded and silently prayed for Maya to listen to Lucian. She just did not realize why Maya was so angry. She stormed out of anger
Lucian walked back in. His facial expression was bland. As soon as he walked in, Eden raised her head quickly, hoping to hear a positive result. She looked up at him, waiting for a befitting response but he kept mute as he walked towards her. Eden constantly looked at the door hoping it would open but to her uttermost dismay, the door didn’t open. She wanted to walk even further as she believed Lucian was not able to convince her. Lucian was quick to hold her back. Eden tried to release herself from his grip but she could not. He was holding her tightly. She tried to break herself free from him again but he was not willing to let her go. Just then, the door flung open. Eden gasped as she had not expected what she saw. She looked at Lucian and he smiled at her. She smiled back at him as she embraced him again. She was so happy that she didn’t even think straight of what had just happened. Trying so hard, Maya hid her anger. Maya had walked in with a smile on her face. She crossed h
A pleasing smile formed on Maya's face as she turned to look at Eden. Maya hurriedly walked towards Eden to grab her like she was going to fall down. She looked so weak and pale. Lucian sighed in relief as he turned his back to them. If Maya had walked in a minute earlier, she would have seem them both and it would have been so terrible. “Are you fine?” Maya questioned, stretching her hand to Eden as an aid. Eden sighed as she was exhausted. All she wanted to do was go home and rest that very minute. The day's activity had taken it’s all on her. She really missed her parents. Right in the middle of the darkness, Lucian's gaze landed on a piercing eyes that was looking at him. The owner of the eyes had the face covered as well as every other part of the body. Only the eyes were bare. He tried to check who it was but the thick darkness kept it away from him. “Who are you?” He questioned, immediately becoming oblivious to whatever was happening with Maya and Eden. Just as he was abou
“Would she be fine?” Worry spread itself widely on Lucian’s face. He could not affoeds anything happening to Eden. Not even at that time.“Yes, she will be fine” The Physician smiled at him. He had not ben able to get a physician. He had journeyed for a distance before he was able to get the royal physician. “What is the matter with her? What happened to her? Is she sick? Does she need a serious medical care? Is she…”“Be calm” The physician smiled as he saw th4e look of worry on Lucian’s face. Well…… he was quite scared and hoped she would not die. She was his friend after all.“She was just stressed and nothing more. She had been thinking so much and I guess it weakened her entire body hence making her very sick. She would be fine” The royal physician explained. Lucian heaved a sigh of relief. He had lost his mind when he thought she was going to die. His whole system had taken another form, not just for their gain but she being his friend as well. “All she needs is quality rest
