PORSHA POV

‎I sat infront of my mirror, a dull ache still residing in my heart after the incident tonight.

‎“Anne do you think what I did in the ceremony hall was bad?” I doubted turning to face Anne. My mind recently have been filled with doubts it like I can't do anything right, anymore.

‎“Of course not Porsha. Infact you should be proud after all you saved his majesty from certain death” Anne explained, her eyes sparkling with sincerity but I had my doubts.

‎“But that's not what everyone else thinks Anne. Did you see the disgust on their faces when they walked out” I informed, as their disappointed faces replayed in my head. They all hate me and I was only trying to do the right thing.

‎“There were just surprised Porsha. In any case they only walked out because his highness did that first” Anne assured with a smile as she took my hands in hers.

‎“I tell you what, his highness will be here any second now to thank you” She added and as though hearing her words.

  • FIGHT BETWEEN FATED AND HATED    TERRIBLE MEAL

    LEVIATHAN’S POVWhen Porsha walked out of the hall with the maids, the whole room buzzed with whispers. Some people laughed… some looked shocked.Just the way I wanted.A queen in the kitchen. My queen. The great dragon King Leviathan's queen.The nobles always liked drama, and tonight I gave them one. But this wasn’t only for entertainment. I needed to see who Porsha truly was. Was she strong… or just pretending?Time passed slowly. Too slowly, and I hated waiting.Then the large doors opened again.And she walked in.Porsha entered the hall wearing a different gown. The dress was clean, fresh, beautiful. Her hair was redone. Her skin glowed like she had just taken a bath. She didn’t look tired. She didn’t look broken. She looked… confident, radiating with pride.The nobles gasped loudly.“She looks even prettier now… Dragon king Leviathan really has eyes for beautiful things,”“She seems so fearless.”“Sure! she does, but does she know how to cook?"“Cook? do you think a spoiled bra

  • FIGHT BETWEEN FATED AND HATED    SHOCKING LEVIATHAN

    PORSHA'S POV My breath caught in my throat.“Cook?"Cook for Leviathan and his family?In front of my own parents?The entire hall went silent. Then the whispers began... soft, sharp, poisonous.“She can cook?”“Does the girl even know how to hold a knife?”“Oh this will be entertaining.”Heat flooded my face so quickly I thought I might faint. My mother gasped quietly behind me, while my father shifted uncomfortably in his chair. I didn’t even dare turn toward them, I could feel their eyes burning into my back.Leviathan smirked, enjoying every ounce of my humiliation.“I… I didn’t agree to that,” I whispered sharply under my breath.He leaned down, so close my skin crawled.“You called me a coward, remember?” he whispered, his voice sweet like poison. “So now you’ll prove you’re braver. Or you’ll embarrass yourself trying.”“Leviathan...” I hissed.But he straightened and clapped his hands twice.“Kitchen staff,” he announced, “escort my wife to the royal kitchen so she can begin p

  • FIGHT BETWEEN FATED AND HATED    LEVIATHAN'S ANTIQUE

    PORSHA'S POV “Anne would you hurry up with those strips already. I don't have all day," I commanded frustrated, as per now she must have used about 10 minutes just to strip my corset and I honestly don't appreciate that. “I am doing my best Porsha,* She defended, but that only angered me more. “Well, your best isn't good enough. My parents are waiting for me," I informed honestly, the last thing I wanted was to waste so much time. I have to make sure that Mom and Dad leave as soon as possible else there would be problems. I have a terrible feeling about Leviathan, I am sure he will try more stupid things with me now that he is aware my parents are in support of him. “I have an idea Porsha," She said, stopping for a second. I turned to her, my intrigues plagued. “What do you have in mind?" I doubted with a raised brow, my curiosity plagued. She smiled, stepped forward and whispered the most ridiculous thing ever. “How about you stand still, and let me do my job," She said, burs

  • FIGHT BETWEEN FATED AND HATED    BATHING RITUAL

    PORSHA'S POV I stepped off my carriage feeling an unfamiliar sense of dread. Taking in a deep breath I walked down the path leading to the river banks, my feet trembling with every step. The ground felt like it was collapsing underneath my feet. As I approached the ritual sight, I spotted Leviathan, mom and dad standing there. It was a full moon so the blue light emanating from the river cast a warm glow over their face. I walked towards Leviathan, taking a stand next to him. The moment his eyes fell on me, they widened. It was like he had just seen a ghost. There was excitement in his eyes, accompanied by a hint of excitement. A small smile playing at the side of his lips.I felt a shiver run down my spine as Leviathan's gaze lingered on me. I tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but my heart was racing. Mom and Dad were watching, so I had to play it cool.The priest began to speak, his voice low and smooth, "As the ritual dictates, the couple must bathe together in the river, to p

  • FIGHT BETWEEN FATED AND HATED    WEDDING RITUAL

    PORSHA'S POV “Porsha it's time," Anne's voice cut through my dazz. I flickered my eyes repeatedly, trying to stabilize myself before turning to her. “Oh! That's right. Let's go," I voiced reluctantly. It was one thing to go for the ritual and another to actively take part in it. Gosh! As if one ritual wasn't enough, why do parents have to do two. “Is something bothering you Porsha?" She doubted, her eyes filled with curiosity and upmost concern. “I'm fine Anne," I lied simply. My tone low and steady. The last thing I wanted to do was rant. I have grumbled enough about Leviathan. I was sure that he was planning something nasty, Something that would get underneath my skin, like with the apple incident.But it's fine, I can indulge whatever he wants to throw at me, so long as he doesn't try to disrespect my family in anyway.“Are you sure, cause you don't look bright," Anne questioned once more, scanning my face for answersLetting out a small sigh, I took one final look at my refle

  • FIGHT BETWEEN FATED AND HATED    RITUAL

    PORSHA'S POV I burst into an uncontrollable laugh, for Leviathan to even fountain the fact that I might be in love with him is just hilarious.“You think I Porsha of Vikland is in love with you?" I asked rhetorically in-between chuckles. “You must be delusional. I assure you I have 0.00% for you. The only thing that exists here is neutral respect."Truth be told I feel nothing but hate for Leviathan but I fear confessing how I truly feel would result in an unnecessary argument and I am not cut out for that. Leviathan glanced at me for a while, his expression unreadable before his lips curved into a small smirk. “I am glad we are on the same page, cause I would hate for you to fall in love with me, knowing fully well that I don't have a beating heart which can return those feelings." A small ache rose in my chest, of course he was as heartless as the come. It is heartbreaking to be married to a man who lacks basic compassion.“We should leave now, we don't want to keep your parents
