ANMELDENKardor’s point of viewShe said wait but her fingers were still curled around my shirt and her lips were back on mine. I deepened the kiss instead and she melted beneath me instantly, I swallowed her moan as I pressed her further into the bed.Damn! I want to fuck her so hard.My hand slid down to her waist, trailing every inch of her body. I kissed her jaw, down to her neck.“Kardor,” she whispered breathlessly, her fingers moving into my hair.“Wait.”I stopped and lifted my head to look at her. Her cheeks were flushed pink and her lips swollen from my kisses. But I noticed she was suddenly nervous.“What is wrong?” I asked, trying to calm myself down.“Can you please use protection this time?” she asked, biting her lower lips. I stared at her in shock. She looked away, avoiding my eyes.“I….. I’m not ready for pregna… for… a …child yet.” she stuttered.“Please give me some time.” she pleaded.Something tightened painfully in my chest. She wasn’t ready to sire an heir, my heir.The
Kardor’s point of viewThe walk to Cassian’s wing felt kind of weird to me because it’s been years I’ve been there.Leila was beside me holding my hand, her hold tightened on mine every now and then as we moved through the southern corridor of the palace. This part of the kingdom had been abandoned for years, dust still clung to the walls despite the fact that the maids were rushing around trying to prepare the place after hearing of the forgotten prince’s arrival.I still could not believe he was back here, back to where he belongs. Like, finally the forgotten he has returned.The moment we stepped into the large sitting area of the wing, I saw him. Cassian was sitting near the balcony in a black wheelchair, with one hand resting lazily against the armrest, while the other flipped through a book. The evening wind moved through his hair, making him look so much like mother.He looked up and those familiar green eyes met mine, a grin spread across his face.“Well…” he drawled out lazil
Kardor’s point of viewIt’s been two days, two whole days.That was how long my wife had abandoned me for her newly traumatized brother. Not that I blamed her though. After everything that happened, Roberto needed her, we all knew he was barely holding himself together. Zeth has practically refused to let him out of his sight and Leila has been spending most of her time moving between both of them like her absence would hurt her brother more.But still, I missed my wife terribly. And apparently, suffering in silence was no longer beneath me. I learned against the wall outside the hallway of Zeth’s wing. I waited patiently with my arms crossed over my chest. A few of the men from Zeth’s harem walked past nervously, bowing when they noticed me. I ignored them, focusing my attention on what was ahead.I wonder if Roberto already knows about Zeth’s harem or the part that he has been chosen as Zeth’s sex slave. Father didn’t have a problem with Ischavor being killed by his son, he said tha
Leila’s point of view“I meant he tried to hang himself.”The words didn’t make sense, it was like my mind was refusing to believe them.My breath caught, “What?” I asked not believing my ears. A lot of things were already running through my mind and one of it was that, it was my fault.“I got there before….” Zeth’s voice broke. He dragged a hand through his hair. “Before he could finish it.”I stumbled backward, and then it came back to me, something Roberto had said in the hallway days ago, spoken so casually that I didn’t even treat it as the warning it was. He said he would rather die than have someone like Ischavor as a father.“No…” I whispered, my hands trembling. I pressed my hands against my thighs to make it stop but it didn’t work. “No, no, no….”“Is he alive? Is he fine?” Kardor asked.“He is alive, he is in the healer’s wing. ” Zeth replied.“Please.” I looked at Zeth, not caring how desperate I sounded. “Take me to him. I want to see my brother.” I begged Zeth.One minut
Kardor’s point of viewHer voice was very low, but it had a great effect. Roberto froze, this was one thing he hadn’t prepared for, not her pulling away. I knew they have this great sibling bond and it must have hurt a lot to hear Leila talk to him like that.And Leila, it was clear she was in great pain. Roberto’s hand dropped down, his lips parted like he wanted to say something else, maybe something to fix or even undo everything that had just happened. But nothing came out, his eyes searched her face desperately.Leila didn’t move, she didn’t reach for him. That broke him, he staggered back like he had been strucked. Then he turned and ran.Zeth wanted to go after him, but he looked unsure. Then I noticed father watching from one of the windows. He was observing what was unfolding below. I moved towards Zeth.“Father is watching. I whispered.“Roberto! Son!” Isabella called after him, but he didn’t look back.Leila walked straight into her mum’s arms and held onto her tightly.“Wi
Kardor’s point of viewDeparture had began, Leila had said her goodbyes to her parents few minutes ago. It had been brief and emotional enough that I had stepped in before it got really emotional. She was back now, in my room as I instructed.I stood at a distance and watched the De’ Luca family prepare to leave.Bruno De’ Luca stood near his car, speaking quietly with his wife. He looked like a man trying to hold himself together after giving something away, his wife kept glancing back toward the building like she could still see her daughter through the walls. And there was Bruno Junior looking like he had a lot to say, but was waiting for the right moment, he was leaning against his father’s car looking bored. There was something in his stance, the way he crossed his arm around his chest.“BJ looks like someone about to cause trouble.” Zeth said quietly beside me.I didn’t respond to Zeth, because somehow, I knew I already knew what the boy was about to do. My instincts have never
Bruno’s point of viewShe goes still beneath me, I felt her body relax, that was how I knew she was gone. Sleep took a total hold of her, it dragged her under and her breathing evens out too fast. Her body slacks with exhaustion. I pull back and moved to the edge of the bed, my elbows braced on my
I turned around to face the person that had broken our moment, a tall man with a commanding presence stood behind us, he should be in his early thirties.“Tiano,” Diego called out.“Yes, boss.” He replied, giving me a small nod before he shifted his gaze to Diego.“Everyone is waiting at the courty
Isabella's POVHe was taking me to the other wing today, to see the side of the mansion I’ve never been too, a little part of me was nervous because I really don’t know what to expect. I was ready, fully prepared, I wandered out of my room when I got tired of waiting.If the left wing was this huge
Miguel was the first person I saw when I stepped into the dining room, he stood near the table arranging food into a tray. The sight of him alone made my breath hitch, he was the only familiar face in this unfamiliar world and the one reason I agreed to being part of all this was because of her.Mi
