“Tell me please,” he insisted, waiting impatiently for me to say something. I lowered my face to breathe out and then steadily pushed my body towards him to let him fill me in his arms and comfort my aching soul.
As soon as our bodies met, I noticed his heart racing like a speeding car inside his chest. I bet he didn’t expect me to react like that. He instantly wrapped his arms around me and hugged me, saving me from the world.“I was so--- sca---red, I tho----ught you wi---ll take their side and pro---bably make me plea---,” I didn’t even finish when he broke the hug and cupped my face in his hands.“No! never!” his eyes expressed the intensity he had applied while answering me, “Cordelia! No way I would ever let anyone hurt you,” hos words sounded like a melody.“As long as I am alive, no harm will come your way, no matter who is the person against you, they are against me,” as he whispered again, I felt my body reacting differently.Was it because of the link orI woke up before Conrad the next day and since it was his off day, he had planned to stay in the bed for longer. I wanted to leave the room and get some fresh air, clear my head as I had been drowning in many thoughts and worries.We had spent some time together that was more than enough for others to raise their eyebrows at us, especially Kruz but more importantly, I was worried about what my feelings for Conrad.There was no doubt that I had fallen for him beyond my control, but what was going to be the outcome of it?I reached the garden after hard and harsh stares of everyone and let out a sigh. Inhaling and exhaling in and out, I felt better in the fresh air.As I turned around to walk towards the other side of the garden, I saw Kruz making his way in my direction very angrily. I knew he would never let it rest until he has bothered me about it.“What do you think you are doing?” he stopped right when he was a step away from me, his eyes digging holes through min
I was shocked at the sight, totally didn't expect him.Conrad was holding her in his arms whilst she had her buttons open and her brea*ts out."Cordelia!" he saw me watching him in shock and knew that I had seen him with her. He suddenly let go off her and sprinted in behind me but I turned around and then grasped some strength to toss towards him again.I picked up the file and forced a weak smile onto my face while making eye contact with him."You have left this file behind, Sire!" I murmured, shocking him with my expression and the tears in my eyes.“Cordelia, it isn’t what it looks like,” Conrad knew the smile on my face was fake as I was hurting badly deep down inside. “No! you don’t have to explain anything, sire!” I smiled again, watching Selene bringing her eyebrows together to form a furrow and cover her chest. “Cordelia, please stop. I know you are thinking there was something going on between us and that’s why you are---listen, let’s talk,” he was
We didn’t talk after that and I told him very clearly that I didn’t want to sleep in the bed with him. He was silent as if he was busy calculating everything, especially the link thing.I fell asleep before him and woke up in the middle of the night very thirsty and feeling dizzy. I decided to march up to the kitchen and get some water as my throat felt like there were million tiny needles stuck in my throat.“Look who got thirsty,” I recognized the voice, it was Mr. Kruz, there was no way something happened and he wouldn’t arrive. I knew he would show up out of nowhere to somehow make my life stressful. He would not waste a single moment to rub any failure into my face. “I heard you got abducted tonight or were you trying to run away?” he slammed the fridge’s door on my face, bringing his face a little closer to my face until I moved away from him. “Is that what you have to say?” I was honestly tired of his empty threats now, if he had some show to showcase then h
As we sat down in the car, I felt a feeling of extreme emotion in my heart and then in my eyes in the form of tears. “Stop here, I need to buy a bouquet for the lady,” Conrad stopped the car and then walked out without noticing that there was someone left behind who was suffering from his actions. Since I was feeling this suffocation, I got out of the car to stand under the clear sky and breathe some fresh air and that’s when I saw him walking in my direction with the bouquet in his hands. A smile crept over my lips when he stopped in front of me and handed me the bouquet, I wish I could have accepted it but he had not only made me angrier by going on a date with Selene but because of many other things as well.“I don’t need it,” I handed it back to him and after some seconds of shaking his head, he added. “It’s not for you, I want you to see if this one or that none,” he pointed at the one his guard was holding as he came towards me. It angered me a lot and I
The date ended with them sharing giggles and laughs. They had spent over hours talking about nonsense, I can’t believe full on adults could waste their times on such topics. Conrad never for once asked me how I was doing sitting there and doing nothing, he was just enjoying his life to the fullest with this girl. “Take Cordelia home, I will drop Selene myself.” Conrad, who had now been ignoring me all of a suddenly, told the driver to leave me home. My mind instantly blocked all the other thoughts and one thing appeared in my thoughts, he would make out with her. This is how every date ends, when the guys leave her at home, they make out. And it made sense, he would be striking two birds with one arrow. I wanted to eye him for sending me away but this guy did not even acknowledge my existence. Conrad, who didn’t get up to receive her in the beginning was now opening the car door for her. “Ma’am!” the driver shook me awake and gestured me to get inside the car. I was
It had been almost two hours that he hadn’t returned after dropping her. Her house wasn’t built on the hills or mountains that it was taking him so long. I had been awake on the couch with my face in my hands and my heartbeat going up and down. I was let to acknowledge his arrival when he opened the door and walked inside very tiredly.I wanted to not act so desperate but this link or whatever it was, it had been beginning to make do things that I wouldn’t usually do under normal circumstances. I watched him rubbing the back of his neck and signing every once in a while. “So, did you use a cond*m or you were too desperate to not waste time that you forgot about that as well?” before I could even repeat the words in my head and decide that they were probably not the very best thing to say to an Alpha king, I had already sputtered out to him in rage. “What?” the look on his face was enough to help me discern that I have messed up, “You heard me right. I thought you
"What is going on here?" Conrad's eyes made me feel guilty when I only did it so that I could escape this pain of broken heart and scattered feelings. I was not being difficult to get, I had a reason to push Conrad away. So that I could get away from the enchantment of his love which was nothing but a result of the link I was tied to him with.I looked away from meeting eyes with him, but I knew Conrad and Kruz were looking in the eyes."I'm so sorry for bothering you. She needed some action with me, I hope there is no problem," Kruz didn't mean it in a sarcastic way, he was speaking very casually like the way he speaks to Conrad in daily basis. I know that he knew that there was something going on with Conrad and me so he knew Conrad was upset when seeing us together or at least mad that his toy was being used by Kruz because I think even Kruz didn’t take Conrad’s feelings for me seriously."I'll need her beside me tonight, I am feeling immense pain even before I have fall
In the next few days, we have put all the issues aside and had started to focus on breaking this curse. “Morning,” Conrad responded to the maid but then he received a call so he left me in the garden alone with the same two maids. I had a feeling that they were going to bring up Selene once again to annoy me. “Did you tell you that he likes Selene?” the maid with blond hair called Cindy mumbled, battling her thick eyelashes and making me frown once again.“No! why would he tell her, she is not someone important who deserves to know,” the other one called Gallinda retorted, these two were truly some sort of villainous just running around thinking bad about others and wishing bad things on them.“Oh yeah! You are absolutely right,” Cindy covered her mouth to snicker in order to piss me off. I honestly didn’t want to do this that day because I had some things planned for the day.“Leave the food tray and leave,” I had to act like them to annoy them back. Hearing me ord
