เข้าสู่ระบบCassian’s point of viewSomething was wrong, Athena kept saying she was fine but I knew her too well. My wife who usually argued with me over everything had become too quiet and distant and I hated it.The drive down to her father’s estate was silent, Athena sat beside me staring outside the window while her fingers twisted nervously in her lap. She barely looked at me, and I did try to joke about it but it didn’t work.“You know, this is not how I imagined married life, I expected more obsession from my wife.”Still, she didn’t utter a word. I won’t lie, it was kind of painful. I watched her for a few minutes.“Athena.” I called out, she looked up immediately and faked a smile.“Talk to me.” I said calmly.“What do you want me to say Cassian, I have nothing to say.” she replied sighing.“You are avoiding me, did I do something wrong ? Or is there anything I said to make you this quiet? Please talk to me.”“Nothing Cassian, you did nothing wrong.” she replied, looking away.I became t
Athena’s point of viewI really didn’t want to go back there, the moment Cassian mentioned my father’s mansion, dread settled in me. It felt like something very cold had been poured on my body.That mansion held memories, the kind I wanted buried forever. Memories like shame, humiliation and pain that comes from heartbreak and betrayal from someone I once yearned for.Cassian was already asleep, but I was still awake feeling suffocated with the memories that hurts me. I could still remember that night clearly. I hated the fact that I remembered every detail, the sounds majorly. The moans and groans, the bed creaking and my cousins laughter.I remember pushing the door open slowly, my confusion turning into horror so fast that my body had gone numb. I saw them, my fiancé buried between my cousin’s thighs like I actually meant nothing and our engagement was just a mere joke.That wasn’t even the worst part, what happened after made me almost run mad, the pregnancy, the mocking whispers,
Cassian’s point of viewMarriage felt strange, maybe because after years of having different women in my bed and making terrible decisions, I now have a wife who occupies my bed and has somehow managed to make me completely obsessed with her.To be honest, I enjoyed every second of it. Athena was standing near the window of our room dressed in a loose dark silk robe with her hand resting protectively against her stomach. She looked beautiful and distracting, I sat in my wheelchair near the bed watching her quietly.“You have ignored me for exactly twenty three minutes.” I said to her.“I’m thinking.” she replied.“About what? Me or how good my cock is?” I teased.“There’s something wrong with you.” she snapped.“There are many things wrong with me, sweetheart. I think you need to be specific.”That earned me the smile I wanted, I love making her smile. I wheeled myself closer.“Oh, your father sent another message last night.” her shoulders stiffened. “He wants us to visit and stay at
EpilogueKardor’s point of view“Breathe, Leila.”“I AM BREATHING, YOU IDIOT!” she screamed on top of her voice, I flinched at the sound. She has been in labor for three hours now, and I was already losing my mind.I actually lost my sanity the moment she screamed my name so loud that almost everyone in the kingdom became aware their queen was about to put to bed.“Why is she in so much pain?” I snapped at the healer.“Your majesty,” the healer said feeling a bit uncomfortable. “That is usually how childbirth works, you can stay outside if you can’t bear it anymore.”“Don’t you dare leave me here. I hate you Kardor, you did this to me.”she cried out, my heart sank.“She doesn’t mean it,” Roberto whispered beside me.“What if she actually means it.” I whispered back.Another painful cry left Leila’s mouth and I rushed back to her side. Sweat covered her forehead as her fingers crushed mine painfully. I wish I could take the pain away from her.“You’re doing so well,” I whispered, brush
Kardor’s point of view“She confessed.” Zeth said, I didn’t make a move, the maid just kept crying loudly.“Your majesty please….. please forgive me.”“Look at me.” I ordered.She kept quiet and raised her head.“Who sent you?”“No.. one….” she cried. “I swear.”One of the guards slammed her harder onto the floor.“She already lied three times, we found out she’s related to the old queens healer, the one the old king be-headed after the queen’s death.”“Her aunt worked for the old queen years ago, she must have been planning this for a while.”“I didn’t know it would harm the queen, my aunt only told me…”“Take her away, let her suffer the same fate as her aunt.”This wasn’t random, history was about to repeat itself.“She said the royal bloodline destroys everything and the next queen must not survive carrying an heir.” The maid screamed as she was being dragged out.“Wait!” I stood up and walked close to her.“You poisoned my wife and my child.” I growled out, fighting the urge to s
Leila’s point of viewThe palace had become quiet since Kardor fell sick, Zeth treated me like I was fragile and didn’t allow me leave the room. While Roberto kept forcing tea into my hands. The healers monitored me almost as much as they monitored Kardor. Kardor kept trying to sit up every few minutes only for Zeth to shove him back into bed angrily.“You are still recovering, stay down.” Zeth snapped.“Do I need to remind you that I’m the king here and I have the final say.”“You are currently a sick king whose words should not be taken as something important. I’m sure your brain must be hurting because you are not using it well. Just stay down and keep that mouth of yours shut.”Kardor looked deeply offended with Zeth’s words but he didn’t complain again.“You are enjoying this too much,” he whispered weakly.“I love it when opportunities like this come. I enjoy shutting you up.”I laughed quietly from the chair beside the bed. Kardor turned to me. “You should be resting.” he said
Isabella’s point of viewIt’s been four days, almost a week since I saw him, my husband. He was avoiding me, he hasn’t showed up in our room since he took my virginity, maybe me being a virgin scared him away. I am not a virgin anymore, but him avoiding me makes me feel I have some sort of disease
DiegoCarlos’s body was found in the garden at the east path, he had been left with a crushed skull and a blood stained note flapping in the air, whoever did this wanted it to be personal and loud.I went there myself to take in every detail, his body laid there cold. I took the sight in, letting m
Isabella's point of view There is something peculiar about the night air in the De’ Luca’s mansion, it always carried secrets. Today was different from every other day I’ve spent in this mansion, after the visit to the men’s quarters, it was like I had freedom to do whatever I wanted to do, this w
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
