Two days laterBinnazun DynastyCalix's P.O.V."You called me here Queen?"I said to Delphyne who was hiding behind a pillar, her eyes cautiously scanning her surroundings.My voice made her jump on the spot. She pivoted with her hand over her heart. The expression she gave me was the one of getting caught red-handed but no sooner did our eyes meet, her tensed shoulders slouched as relief washed over her."Ah! You're finally here. You don't know how hard it has been for me to hide from my son and husband and roam inside my own house with fear." She said and let out a nervous laugh but I kept my face stoic.The previous encounter with Zac affected me in the worst way. I can't stop thinking about reconsidering my decision.Diana, Diana, and Diana. She was the only one who was on my mind these days. The notorious goofy ball which had stolen my brother’s heart. Her smile, her innocent big doe blue eyes, and her small baby face saddled me with guilt whenever I ponder on my mission of getti
The fetters of anticipation and dread grappled Calix as soon as he was confronted with the question which he had been avoiding for the past two days. His mouth turned dry and he felt as if he almost lost his voice. The menacing look in Zachary’s eyes was daring him not to lie but does he have the courage to tell him the truth?‘How come he met Zagan in the first place when he is in Moonland? And even if he did, how come Zac was able to invade the portals which were closed by Theodore?’Random thoughts corrupted his mind but still, Calix kept calm and didn't reveal the uneasiness on his face.Maybe Zagan was in Binnazun Dynasty or he really met him in Moonland because Calix himself doesn't know about Zagan’s whereabouts. But again, that's preposterous according to their master plan because if Zagan did that then he wouldn't have been alive by now.Suddenly it struck him. What if Zachary was testing him? To get his reaction. After all, they both were like brothers and knew each other ve
Inside Theo PalaceA drop of tear cascaded down the puffy cheeks of the gloomy Princess who was staring out the window hopelessly. Though she wasn’t shackled, she was confined within the four walls as per the King’s order who had surpassed all limits of cruelty. Caressing her stomach, a heart-wrenching sob escaped her chapped lips which soon took the form of loud cries.Diana burst into tears and clutched her stomach tightly, her body shaking violently as she cried for the safety of her unborn child whom the cruel King had ordered to kill.Flashback“HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?? HE IS OUR FUTURE, THEO. HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT??”Reina screamed at the top of her lungs while shooting daggers at her son who was ensconced in his throne and was giving her a vacant stare.Lord Ernest flared as his attitude didn’t settle well with him, “Theodore, don’t forget that I am the one who had given you the authority, the power on which you’re oppressing us today. Diana is carrying
Zachary’s P.O.V.Trudging through the lush bushes, I somehow succeeded in entering the mansion. Jasmine did a fantastic job in distracting those bunch of idiots. Though it was our plan, Theodore’s reaction caught me off guard. I haven’t anticipated that jerk to be head over heels for my sister. But what for? Didn’t he push her away from his life then what is he trying to prove by acting all lovey-dovey with her? I can’t understand this man.But whatever it is, this act won’t last long. Once I rescue my Princess, I will take my family away with me back to my dynasty. I need to be watchful, and make sure not to ruin everything in hastiness. My anger is my worst enemy and I am trying my best to stay calm but I swear on my Princess’s happiness, I won’t ever let my wifey or my sister visit this horrendous land ever.Snooping around, I made my way to the third floor as per Jasmine’s words that my Princess had been locked here. The guards were lined up at every corner. That fucker was determ
Jasmine's P.O.V.Why Zac isn't answering me? Is he in trouble?Random thoughts corrupted my mind as I gazed at the exit of the room, anticipating a signal from Zac which could answer my doubts.It's been more than an hour but there was no sign of Zac nor of Calix or Zagan. I intentionally kept Theodore engrossed so that Zac would get enough time to save Diana but it’s been too long now.As expected, after my return Theodore was acting like an uxorious husband. His behavior had abruptly taken 360 degrees turn. He was trying to lay all the blame on me as if I had left him or betrayed him when the reality was the opposite.I again looked at the man who had opened a war against his family for me. My eyes turned glassy because our world was now painted in reverse. It was a time when I used to beg for his attention and today when I decided to obliterate his memories from my life, he again barged in and started to stake his claim over me. If it would have been in the past, I would have gone
Rose's P.O.V."GET ME OUT OF HERE, BASTARDS!!!"Arthur screamed at the top of his lungs while banging the iron rails with his chained wrists. His face was contoured with rage and despair. And why not? He failed to protect his only sister from that obsessed beast. Not only he but we all failed to protect our loved ones from those power blinded monsters. Diana and Jasmine, we don't know how they are. What is the Theo family planning on doing with them?I again looked at Arthur who was thrashing the iron rails again and again like a madman. My eyes turned teary as Arthur loved Diana very much so it was obvious to see him dead worried for her safety. Just like me. George abducted me and caged me in the dungeon along with Diana's family, the only difference was the iron rails that separated us. We could feel the same agony, feel the same pain but neither can we mitigate it nor we could comfort each other.After caging me, George never came to check on me once. His actions befuddled me but
"HOW COULD YOU EVEN SAY THIS ROSE?"Zagan shouted while staring down at the whimpering girl. Her snivels echoed in the concrete cell but her tears didn't thaw his anger a bit.Furious with her absurd suggestions, Zagan gripped her forearm and shook her violently. Rose hissed in pain and peered at him through soaked eyelashes."Calix is dying Rose. He needs you right now or he would end up killing both Zac and himself. You don't care about him, fine but you do know that if he loses control, he can even become a danger to Diana. Aren't you afraid for her? Have you gone this incogitant in such a short span?" he growled but as usual Rose kept mum.Zagan acted according to the plan to reach Rose and get her aid. He was optimistic about his move but his efforts turned down the drain as Rose instead of helping him straightaway recanted his proposal. Zagan was shocked and hurt because Rose not only turned down his request but also ordered him to leave her alone.Zagan tried to reason her fear
"We are here."Zagan whispered in my left ear before removing his palm from my eyes. I blinked my eyes multiple times. The cold floor beneath my feet and the magnificent edifice that stood in front of my eyes confirmed that we had reached the place where Diana was held captive.Not able to control my excitement further, I looked at Zagan before screaming in delight, "So, where's Calix-"But before I could speak further, Zagan covered my mouth with his palm, he looked horror-stricken."Don't shout Rose. Kiora is here. We'll be a lump of dead meat if she finds us." He berated me.Oh yes. It slipped my mind. I nodded at Zagan making him sigh in relief. He then removed his palm and grabbed my waist to support me as we both headed to the door.But the place was eerily quiet. I couldn't help but tremble as our legs covered the distance. I so badly wanted to run away but I have given Arthur my word. Calix had warned me not to leave the mansion but I went against him, helped Kiora, and fell i
