“I'll come see you tomorrow, Agnes” I said with a kiss to her forehead before stepping away from her. I turned to face the doctor.“Thank you, Doctor for your help”“You're welcome” He replied and I nodded and left the room and stepped into the corridor. I could breathe easier out here, away from the stifling heat and suffocating detergent.Servants bowed to me as I walked past them and down the long corridor. I did not exactly have a particular destination in mind but I found my feet guiding me towards the garden once more.The weather outside was harsh and extremely hot but the air was more refreshing and less stifling like the ones inside and I continued to walk even further, my feet stepping on the grass beneath me.After a few minutes of walking, I finally settled on one of the bench with a deep sighs, just staring up ahead of me.I saw the Prince walk over to where I sat from the corner of my eyes as he sat down beside me and I turned to face him.“Prince” I greeted with a relie
Instead of searching for words to say, I leaned in further and brush my lips against his briefly before moving away.“I don’t hate you and I’m not afraid of you either. I just thought since we are not married, it would be better if we, uhm” I swallowed nervously, unable to say out the word out loud.“Did someone say something to you? Is that why you’re saying all these?” he questioned with a raised brow.“What? No..no but you are the Prince and have a reputation in society whereas I don’t and even though you say we are engaged, I don’t want your name to be taint because of me” I explained calmly, my heart beating loudly in my chest.He nodded once and pushed away from me with a deep sigh.“I understand what you are saying, Iris but I don’t care about those side talks and gossips but I can’t say same for you so I will have servants arrange one of the rooms for you as soon as possible”He said sharply and turned to walk into the bathroom, leaving me to state right after him. Maybe I was
I saw my life flashed before my very own eyes. One minute he was aiming for my throat and the next minutes he was getting thrown back against my reading table so powerfully that it broke into halves with a crumbling sound.Looking back up, I was relived to see Logan standing in the same spot my attacker had been just a moment ago as he stood shirtless and in a protective stance with his large blade in hand.Seeing Logan’s unexpected appearance in the room, my attacker didn’t stay down for long from the impact before he was back on its feet, moving Just as swiftly before throwing himself at Logan who was obviously standing in his way of getting to me.Even as a human, Logan was nothing but a beast as he kicked and slice the mask man, leaving absolutely no room for counterattack from his own end.I have never witness a supernatural fight before and sitting so up close and personal has its little disadvantage. I was practically in the way as my room was barely enough to contain the ragin
Logan led me through the long corridor, down a hidden stairs as we went deeper into a much darker route before going through a specific door.I could barely see in the darkness as I was led further into the dark hall, the only thing in the air was the sound of feet hitting the hard concrete floor.Logan gave me a small light after I bumped into him a few times so I could see in the darkness. I felt as though I was trapped in this space, my breath starting to come out short.I can’t help but imagine being held behind this bars of cages. The thought alone is enough to make me want to turn back but I had gone too far to turn back now.As we approached the cell further, my nostrils was immediately hit by the most wretch of smell. I couldn’t even bring myself to imagine what the sources was.We walked further and Logan stopped in front of the one I assumed to belong to lady vena. I stepped closer to the steel cell bar trying to get a glimpse of the woman lying on the small dirty form on th
“I needed to see her and speak to her about what happened. I felt she could tell me the truth”“What truth, Iris. Where you went is no place for you. You shouldn’t have gone there” He barked.“I wasn’t alone. Logan was with me” I explained calmly hoping it would be enough to make him see that I wasn’t in danger when I went there but instead he huffed and threw a punishing look at the door as though he wanted to go hand one to Logan since he was just outside the door.“Still doesn’t matter. He wasn’t permitted to take you down there” prince said with a sigh and I continued.“He didn’t want to so I sort of threatened him” I admitted with quiet voice and he arched a brow at me.“I know I was wrong but I spoke to Lady Vena about what happened and i want you to please set her free” I said with determination.“What? Have you gone mad?” He croaked in disbelief as he stared my startled form down with narrowed eyes.“Did you forget she tried to kill you several times already?” Prince questione
A week has gone by since that day and I was back in my own room once again after successfully convincing the Prince to let me sleep in my room of course.Most of the broken items were fixed and new ones were brought in to replace the completely broken ones.This morning, I had rolled out of bed with a sigh. I went to bed last night but couldn’t sleep. I kept hearing strange screams down the hallway.Even with my necklace, my hearing ability was still heighten to an abnormal degree and so far, throughout last night, it felt as though I couldn’t close my eyes without listening to someone being severally tortured.Try as hard as I may, I couldn’t put my ears to the ground without catching a wind of that painful grunt and hissing in pain.I sighed once again, pushing the thought out of my mind as I brushed my hair into a neat bun before walking into the bathroom.After I had finished dressing up, I heard a knock at the door and I went to the door and unlocked it, sliding the bolt out.Agn
I returned back to my room and decided to have a shower then nap a little. When I awoke again, I decided to go visit Prince in his room later that night.I got to his door and knocked and then waited for response. I’m not sure if he was in or not but o was hopeful he was.Before I could knock again, the door opened and prince stood in the door way. He really had not expected me as he stood with confusion in his eyes, staring back at me.He was completely shirtless and displaying a bit of muscle. His hair was also ruffled as my eyes trailed him further.He smiled , leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed.“You miss me already?” He asked teasingly and I felt my cheek heat up at his comment.“Can I come in?”“Sure” He laughed softly and stepped out of the door way to allow me into his room.I walked in further before turning around to face him.“I’m sorry, I didn’t realized you were about to go to bed already” my eyes found their way back to his stomach and I swallowed.“is
I took a step towards him and stopped, not sure if helping him was a really good idea. I mean, if he was kept here then it must be for a reason and letting him free might get me into trouble, that’s if I’m not already in trouble of course.“I can’t” I said, shaking my head from side to side.“Please” He half demanded and plead before another groan tore through his clenched teeth.My heart breaks at the sound of his anguish. So much so that, I just wanted to rip the chains from him and set him free once and for all as I stood staring at his skin getting deeply burned.“please” He let out once more and just lay still without moving and I gasped.For a moment there, I just stood wondering what just happened.Was he dead?Oh my!I jolted forward, forgetting my initial hesitation that I had before as I ran to him, closing the distance between us quickly. I fell to my knees beside where he lay on the floor.“Mr…prince…um..wake up” I called out as I reached out and cup his face covered in
