A month laterRose was in the garden, staring at the white lilies with empty eyes. The usual glow of her face was absent today and her beautiful smile was lost in the hullabaloo of the new world. Her life now seemed pointless to her. Her doleful face narrated her sorrow. Caged in the house of a Demon who claims to love her had only shattered her hopes to live again. She was simply breathing as Calix was mad for her. If she goes away from his eyesight, he goes crazy. She wasn’t allowed to meet Diana, and neither did she had the right to ask him about her sister, Jasmine’s well-being.A tear slid down her left eye and disappeared in the verdant grass on which she was currently sitting just like the wails of her heart which were always suppressed by the man who promised to give her the whole world. She failed as a sister and as a daughter. She failed to fulfill her responsibility. She couldn’t keep the promises she made to her parents. And this fact was eating her alive.Her relationship
A sob ripped through her wounded heart and in no second, she was full-blown crying. Pressing her knees to her chest, Rose buried her face in her knees and cried and cried until she was left out of tears. Her shoulders were burdened with responsibilities. She had only one will to live, to keep her sister safe and sound until she goes into safe hands. But now, she is beleaguered with troubles. His captor branded her like an animal. How will she gonna survive now? How will she be able to act savior when she herself needed one?Rose lifted her head, her soulless eyes stared at naught. Leaning her head against the tree, she started speaking in a heavy voice."I am sorry, Jasmine. Don't hate your sister who is a useless, pathetic woman who can't do anything except lament her sordid life. But now this guilt is killing me, Jasmine. My hands are tied now. That monster marked me and now even if I try to run, I can't escape him." She sobbed and closed her eyes freeing the crystal streaks from ca
Theo PalaceJasmine's PO.V."You did a fantastic job, my little girl."Zachary praised me and I smiled at him in return. But the pride I saw in his eyes for me turned made me emotional. Tears welled up in my eyes so I immediately shifted my gaze to the floor. But unfortunately, Zachary had noticed that."Hey, Jasmine? Are you okay? Is that Theo giving you a hard time?", he inquired but I was surprised by his angry tone.I shook my head negative and cleared the tears off my face, "No, it's just. Since I got here, I had only been offered insults and scolding. After so long someone appreciated me and showed me concern. Don’t worry, it’s nothing,” I grinned and kept wiping my tears.Zachary turned silent at my response. I peeked at him only to find him staring at me with a sorrowful expression."Please don't berate me again that you did warn me. I know that already-""I won't Jasmine."He immediately cut me off making me frown.Zachary then snuck in a breath before looking into my eyes de
Flashback Contd…I sneaked a glance at Theodore who was looking no less than a predator. If looks can kill, I would have been six feet under now. But I need to act smart or they wouldn't wait for a second to behead me.Mustering up some courage, I pushed George with all my force making him land on the floor. He looked at me in shock as he was caught off guard. I then stood up on my feet and shouted at the top of my lungs."IS THIS THE WAY THEO DYNASTY TREATS WOMEN? WHAT IF I AM AT FAULT BUT DOES THAT GIVE YOU OR YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER TO MANHANDLE ME AND HUMILIATE ME IN THE COURT OF JUSTICE JUST BECAUSE I ENTER A PLACE WHICH WAS FORBIDDEN!!"Tears kept embracing my cheek but I made no attempt to wipe them and kept glaring at the man of dreams with accusatory eyes. I then shifted my eyes towards my in-laws whose faces reflected discomfort and guilt. My response turned left them tongue-tied and I knew that they were ashamed to face me. Christina was also crying along with me while Christi
"ROSE, I AM ASKING YOU ONE LAST TIME, WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU CHASING THAT INTRUDER?"Calix roared and shook Rose violently but as usual, he got no response.Once that intruder absconded, Calix continued questioning Rose about his identity but she didn't open her mouth not even for once. She kept mum the whole time, infuriating Calix.Pushing her away, he screamed in frustration. He was trying hard not to hurt her although his demons were compelling him to let them out. Her defiance was not only making him angry but sad that even after staying with him under one roof for so many days, she still doesn’t trust him an ounce bit. She was hiding a stranger from him and was trusting him more than him. He could be dangerous but she was ready to opt for that risk rather than expose the truth to him.Running a hand through his unruly raven hair, Calix took a deep sigh before looking at Rose who was staring at the floor quietly."You want it to be done in a harder way, fine then. Let me enlighten
Rose jumped to her spot when she heard the same familiar voice that had deprived her of her peace. She slowly turned behind only to confront the same pair of purple eyes."Y-You? W-Who are you?"Rose asked nervously while her eyes ran over her gothic features making her heart shudder. The girl was dressed in a gaudy purple dress that had a deep plunging neckline revealing her large bosoms and a high thigh slit. Her lips were coated in black shade and her long, wavy silver hair was flowing in the air. She was wearing knee-length boots and purple gloves. Her aura radiated dominance and malice.Rose trembled at her sight. That time she had only seen her eyes, she didn’t know that her savior would be this scary in appearance. An uneasy feeling crept into her chest.“Trusting these demonic creatures is equivalent to digging your own grave. They could be our enemies who are finding ways to get to us.”‘What if he is right? What if she is an enemy?’, Rose vaguely wondered. Calix’s words had
Diana's P.O.V."Only one chapter is left. I will complete it by this week,"Closing the book, I leaned my head back on the chair and closed my eyes to relax my mind.Initially, I thought to reveal the truth of this library to Zachary but later dropped the idea because he wouldn't let me enter here again. And I will be again chided for risking my safety.But the main reason behind this was Zachary's brooding nature. Nowadays he's too tense and gets angry at the smallest things. Though Zagan had lost all the previous wars with Zachary instead of surrendering, he would double down his efforts and come back with new strategies.Also, I think that this library isn't such a big issue. Moreover, I ain’t a child who needs permission for everything. It's only a library, a place which would never hurt anyone.I always sneak into here and come back to the room when Zachary is about to return. The best part is that he hadn't become suspicious by now. Also, I don't want to give him unnecessary trou
*Slap* Jasmine palmed her left cheek and let out a cry when she received a tight slap from her elder sister. Rose lost her patience and again slapped Jasmine as she was beyond angry after hearing the whole story of how Jasmine tricked everyone to marry the future king of Heaven. Not only that, she was too mad to get Theodore that she didn’t even think twice before making a deal with Zachary who helped her in escaping. Rose further threatened Jasmine to tell her about Theodore and his family’s behavior with her and having no choice, Jasmine told her everything in detail. How she spent her days and nights in this royal palace with tears and pain. Rose was enraged by Theodore and George but the fact that her sister whom she had raised with her own hands destroyed her whole life because of her selfishness hurt her more. And that hurt only took the form of raw anger. She continued scolding Jasmine who took everything silently. "I-I am sorry" "SHUT UP!" Rose harshly cut her off making
