...Sunna who had locked herself up in her room looked at her phone that kept vibrating.Jason had been trying to call her so many times, but she was not sure if she was supposed to pick it up.When it stopped ringing, she looked at it. There were so many text messages from Jason too. Was he worried about her?[Are you okay Sunna?][Did he do anything to you? I am sorry I could not help.][Thank you for defending me yesterday.][Answer my calls Sunna, I am getting worried.][Did he ask you not to talk to me? Please, do not do that.][Sunna, call me immediately you see my texts. I am worried.]She sighed and closed her eyes. She wanted to reply to him, but she was not sure what she was supposed to say to him.She was feeling guilty that she had tried using him yesterday. And now,she felt like she had betrayed him.She felt like she had cheated on him because of the things that her brother had done to her.She ran her hands through her hair in frustration. What was this now?Ring! Ring!
Then he stood up from the bed, his expression lonely, like he had been abandoned by the thing that he loved most.Sunna opened her eyes wide when he stood up ready to leave. Was he really leaving like that?Even though she said those words, she was expecting him to get mad her at her.She did not expect that he would actually listen to her and decide to leave.She quickly held his hand. It was all unconsciously. "Brother..." She called.Deagan turned to look at her with raised brows. But he did not say a words first."Are you leaving?" She asked, ashamed by her own question. She had asked him to, what was wrong with her?"Didn't you ask me to leave?" Deagan asked her in confusion. Why was it always so hard to understand her at times?Sunna immediately put her hands around him and hugged him tightly. "Do not leave..." She said. She spoke like she wanted to cry.Deagan sighed. He was not sure what to do with her anymore. What did she exactly mean?Did she want him to leave or not? But
"Sunna..." Jason called worriedly when she picked up. "What is wrong? Don't you want to talk to me?"Sunna sighed. "It is not like that Jason," she said. "I am just con..." She stopped midway. She was not supposed to say that to him."I understand," Jason replied. "Are you okay?""Mmh," Sunna said. "Jason, actually...""Are you free now?" Jason cut her short again. He knew what she wanted to say."It is late now," Sunna reminded him. And Jason felt like hitting his head on the wall. It was actually late. He could not see her now, especially with that brother always around her."It is okay," he said. "I will see you another day. Sleep tight dear.""Mmh, you too," Sunna said. At least he was not saying so much. "Remember to pick up my calls," Jason spoke up again. "And tell me if something is not right.""Okay," Sunna nodded once again. She felt bad for him. She should not have assumed his calls.Maybe he had been worried the whole day about her when she was just looking at her phone
Then he laughed sarcastically. "Best friends?" He asked. "Do you even think that I will be willing to be your best friend and watch being loved by another man?"Sunna looked at him. Why had he changed all of a sudden. Why was his voice like that?It was full of ridicule! It was like he was looking down on her. And she felt her heart ache."I do not want to be your best friend Sunna," Jason spoke up again, looking into her eyes. " You either be my girlfriend, or nothing at all.""Jason please, I cannot lose you," she said and held his sleeve, trying hard not to cry. But Jason yanked his hand away. "I wasn't looking for friendship when I first found you. I want to love you, that is all!"Sunna felt her eyes fill with tears. Is that what he wanted? He did not want to be close to her any more?She looked at him, thinking that he would change his mind. But he said nothing more.She swallowed hard. Then she nodded at him. "It is okay," she said. "It was nice having you around, Jason. Good
When Deagan finally walked into the room, she stood up hurriedly. "My prince!" She called, wanting to hug him.But Deagan raised his hands immediately. "It is okay," he said, " Take a seat."Her hands froze midair, and disappointment could be seen on her face. She had thought that she would be able to hug him, because she was going to be his mate!Why was he always distancing himself that much? Was she not even a little as good as Sunna?While still in a daze, Deagan took a seat and looked up at her. "I am here to talk about us," he said. "Let us begin?"And these words brought her to her senses. He wanted to talk about them? Their marriage probably?She forgot about her previous disappointment and smiled. "Yes, the wedding preparations are in progress. I would like to have the best wedding ever, my prince," she said.She wanted to have something big, bigger than any other thing that had ever existed.She wanted to make all the women in the world jealous. Yes, she wanted that fame.O
And her name clicked in Tecla's head. 'Sunna! Yes, that bitch!' She was the reason of all that!"Is it because of her?" She asked Deagan. She was not going to allow that tiny girl get everything that belonged to her.Deagan observed her for a second before nodding. "Yeah, I have loved her for so long. I think that it would be hurtful for both you and I, if we proceeded with this marriage," he said.Of course, it was not like he had any intentions of proceeding with it."What about me Deagan?" Tecla asked, a tear falling from her eyes. "Where should I go? Everyone knows that we are mates!""We shall have to tell them otherwise then," Deagan said. "Let us cancel it first."Tecla looked like she had been lost. She had nit expected that she would be called here to cancel her wedding. "My prince... please... I love you. I want to be with you...""You are a great girl Tecla," Deagan said. He was already getting irritated. "You will find a better man, someone who will treat well.""No!" Tecl
She preferred having these few people that gave her genuine love. It was better than all the pretenders she knew of.But when she transferred to a new school, she met Gerry. And since then, they were the best friends ever. And she became the fourth person around her.Even though Gerry was only a year older than her, she had treated her so well, like a big sister. She was someone Sunna would never want to lose.However, all through the other years, she had never met any other genuine friend. The others were those who pretended to care, but would talk behind her back.And it was only in her second year of campus, a year ago, when she met Jason.It has been the same year that Deagan had left. And she had always felt so lonely and sad.At first, he had tried texting and calling her. But Sunna, had always assumed her.She was not even sure how he had managed to get her number. And she also did not know what his intentions were.Her brother had always told her to stay away from men, since
...The king was busy his chambers when he was informed that Tecla was requesting a meeting with him.He creased his brows. But he still allowed her in.But he was a bit taken a back when he saw her cry. "What happened?" He asked.However, he did not need to be told anything. He knew that it all had to do with his son, and the wedding."My king!" The girl cried even more. " It is the crown prince..." She said, trying to wipe away her tears.The king sighed. Just what had that boy done today? Couldn't he still for a while?"What did he do? Kissed that girl again?" He asked. He was feeling like giving up with all that stuff."No... He asked me to cancel the engagement... And the wedding. He does not want us to get married any more..."She was crying so bad. Anyone would pity her and think that she had been badly bullied.But the king was less surprised. He had actually suspected that something of the sort was going to happen."Did something happen?" He asked, this time calmly."No...I d
