Se connecterAuthor's Point Of View Instead of returning to her room, Zerina wandered the third floor like a lost spirit. She sat in the shared lounge, gazing through the tall glass windows until boredom tugged at her. Eventually, she stepped into the balcony, seeking a better view of the sunset. The sky was painted in streaks of purple, orange and soft pink as the sun dipped below the horizon. It was breathtaking.She sighed.The beauty of it made her chest ache—especially knowing she couldn’t share it with him.Pulling her gaze away, she explored the length of the balcony. It stretched across the mansion, immaculate despite being exposed to the elements.Golden vine patterns curled along the railings. The marble floor gleamed white beneath her feet, matching the interior’s design. A round table and chairs sat neatly arranged, as though someone enjoyed tea there regularly.She walked toward the table, intending to sit—Then she saw it. Her eyes landed on a ladder that extended all the way up to
Author's Point of View"No," was yet again, his solid answer. He really couldn't believe this girl at all. He predicted it would be something silly but she surprised him by jumping into another dimension of silliness .Zerina's Point Of ViewLysander looked utterly speechless. I held my breath, waiting for his response. After a few seconds that felt like an eternity, he finally spoke. "No," he said firmly. That was it. Just one word. He looked genuinely incredulous, as though he couldn't believe I had even asked such a thing. Maybe he had expected something childish or trivial from me, but why do I feel like he looked at me as though I had apparently leaped straight into another realm of absurdity. "Go and rest, Zerina. I have important matters to attend to tonight," he added coolly. He rejected me outrightly. "B-but, Lysander, I—"Before I could finish, he placed a finger over my lips, silencing me instantly. I knew that look. He wouldn't give in so easily. If I wanted him to ag
Author's Point of ViewLysander was standing beside the window, one hand resting against the glass. His eyes were still cold and cruel, but Zerina noticed something different this time. There was no jeweled hardness in their depths. She stepped inside cautiously, and had no idea what to do in the dimly lit room. She felt his hand touch the side of her neck, a hint of colour washed into her pale cheeks. Her breath hitched instantly.Surrounded by silence, she could almost hear his breathing and her slightly disturbing heartbeat pounding in her ears. "I made tea for you." She said softly. "Hmmm." That was all he gave her.Carefully, Zerina managed to find her way in the dark, her fingers trembling as she set the tray down. She poured the tea into a cup and handed it to him with both hands, silently praying that he would like it.Lysander took a slow sip from the tea. Zerina watched him closely, trying so hard to read his expression, to check if he liked it or not but the man's face,
Zerina's Point Of View I ran along the staircase, using my eyes to search for Mr. Wilson. The marble floor seemed to stretch on forever, a cold, unforgiving expanse that matched the dread pooling in my stomach. I didn’t know what to do. I hated this feeling—the heaviness in my chest, the guilt weighing on my thoughts like a physical presence. I hated knowing someone was angry with me, especially when I didn’t fully understand why. And worse… it was him. Lysander. My heart twisted at the thought of him, at the idea of facing his cold, piercing gaze. I let out a slow breath and turned around, my eyes landing on the tall, composed figure standing near the corridor. I exhaled. Mr. Wilson, the epitome of dignity and calm, his posture was perfect, his expression serene. But I saw it—the faint flicker of concern in his eyes, the way his hands were clenched slightly behind his back. “Mr. Wilson…” I called softly, my voice barely above a whisper. The butler turned immediately, straighten
Zerina's Point Of ViewAll the way home, Lysander didn’t say a word. He drove the car with his eyes fixed straight ahead, his grip tight on the steering wheel. The air around him felt heavy and suffocating, and I didn’t need anyone to tell me that he was not in a good mood.I wanted to explain what had happened. I really did. But every time I parted my lips, the words refused to come out. My throat felt tight, my heart pounding too loudly in my chest. I was nervous—terrified, even. I couldn't bring myself to say anything.I didn’t know if I had done something wrong, but the guilt crept in anyway. Why was he so angry? Was it because of me? I felt like I owed him an sensible explanation, yet I couldn’t find the courage to speak. I stayed quiet the entire drive, hesitating again and again until we finally arrived at the mansion.Lysander parked the car and got out, walking towards the house without waiting for me. I followed slowly behind him, my steps uncertain. By the time I entered th
Authors Point Of View His voice was as cold as an iceberg. Zerina didn’t know why such a voice—so sharp and distant—could make her heart settle in such an awkward moment. They had only met a few days ago. She didn’t even know him well. But one thing she was certain of was this— She felt safe with him. He made her feel safe. Dave looked up and met a handsome face carved with cold, withering eyes. The kind of eyes that didn’t need to raise their voice to command obedience. Just one glance from him made people move. Almost instinctively, Dave loosened his grip on Zerina’s wrist. The moment she was free, Zerina stepped back, instinctively moving closer to Lysander. Noticing her movement, Lysander lowered his gaze to her, his eyes still icy but laced with something strangely protective. “Are they troubling you?” he asked. His voice was calm. A touch of warmth appeared in his eyes. Zerina glanced at the two people in front of her. She didn’t want Lysander dragged into her family’
