Lurking In Darkness.

The corridor led back to Bella's room who was completely unaware of the conversation just underneath her window if she looked outside.

She wasn't in her room anyways. Bella had remained where she was until her father disappeared beyond the curve of the staircase.

Only then did she allow her shoulders to ease.

Andre stood beside her seemingly pleased with himself.

“You handled that well,” he said at last.

She turned to him. “You did most of it…Thank you.” She muttered.

    CHAPTER 64A Pile of Secrets.“I hope you know what you are doing, Lady Bella." Aria muttered just again.Bella remained where she was listening to the sound of her own heart beat.Aria nods and shuts the door behind her, leaving her still in thought. The sound of Aria’s footsteps faded gradually, echoing faintly before disappearing completely into the distance.Only then did Bella exhale, this time her breath was slow but steady.Her gaze shifted back into the room, toward the place where the envelope now laid.Bella stepped back inside fully, opening the door to see if anyone was lurking outside and closing the door once more.Immediately it felt like no one was lurking around the room Bella moved immediately, whatever restraint she had been holding was unravelled as she walked out cautiously.The envelope was in her hands now and Bella stared at it. Up close, it looked no different from many others that she had written herself. And yet—It had the answers to everything?Her grip ti

    Pandora's Box.Bella did not rush out this time. The urgency was still there, coiled tightly beneath her ribs, pressing insistently with every step she took down the corridor, but her pace remained careful.It was as though moving too fast might draw attention that she didn't want.The envelope rested beneath the folds of her sleeve, pressed against her wrist where her pulse beat steadily against it.She was aware of it in a way she couldn’t ignore. Every turn of the corridor felt watched, though no one stood there. It was as though the castle itself had grown aware of what she carried or maybe it was just her.Bella exhaled slowly through her nose and turned the final corner that led toward her chambersNothing looked different so far, it was the same hallway. The same tall windows let in the faint wash of fading light. The same quiet that had always existed here…But it didn’t feel the same. Not anymore.She reached her door and paused out of instinct listening. There was no sound f

    Making Hay While The Sun Shines.Bella did not realize how fast she was walking until she nearly missed the turn that led to Eleanor’s chambers.Her breath came uneven, not from the distance, but from the thoughts pressing in too tightly for her to sort through. Every corridor felt longer than it should have been, the castle had always been quiet, but tonight the silence felt different, maybe because she was walking too fast.She slowed just before reaching the door, her hand hovering for a brief moment above the handle. For a second, doubt crept in again.If she said this aloud, there would be no taking it back. Bella clenched her jaw lightly and pushed the door open without knocking.Eleanor turned immediately. For someone who had seemed so composed moments ago, there was a flicker of something sharp in her eyes the instant Bella stepped inside. “You shouldn’t be here,now ” Eleanor said, her tone calm but firm.A box fell off her hand and the contents spilled to the ground. Bell

    A Loophole.Theo did not slow down until the corridor curved out of sight completely. Even then, his steps only paused for a fraction of a second before continuing again, as though nothing had happened. He could tell himself that he wasn't angry a thousand times but the truth was there and the silence around him no longer felt like something that he could just push off his mind casually.The feeling as it was pressed in, carrying the remnants of that encounter like a scent that refused to fade away.Much as he tried to push it away Andre’s words lingered. Not the obvious ones, not the threats or the arrogance but the certainty of not knowing where he stood in all of this.In a way he thought that he was right?This pregnancy put him at a disadvantage but also was his birth right from the first day. He wouldn't have paid it any attention but his brother chose to be an asshole about it.Theo exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening just slightly as he replayed the conversation again, pick

    Bloodlines.Theo stepped out of Eleanor’s room without looking back even with the heavy thuds his mind made amidst the unrest. He had spoken to her like a thousand times all his life but today she was strange àlmost as if hiding something.The door closed behind him with a quiet click softer than expected, but it carried the same feeling that came from his heart. The kind that settled into chaos that filled his mind.For a moment, he stood there and looked back wondering if he should return or shouldn't. The hallways were unusually quiet though it was not the obvious thing, amidst all of this.When it felt all seemed perfect in his mind he exhaled once, and began walking. His pace was unhurried as he had his hands relaxed at his sides, but his mind was anything but calm. Every detail replayed itself through his mind again as he thought about it.Eleanor’s pauses and most definitely her deflections.He thought about the way she chose each word. She had not lied but at the same tim

    Divided LoyaltiesBella remained against the door long after Andre’s footsteps faded down the corridor. Her mind felt like it was being ripped off from within.“Bella,what have you gotten yourself into." She mutters.The silence he left behind felt heavier even with the handful of words he had said

    Brothers By Blood.It was Theo when she turned. Even if she knew by his voice when he had spoken standing right there made it seem different.He stood in the doorway with his chest rising hard and falling. He was heaving heavily with his eyes darker than Bella had ever seen them. The force with

    Silk and Secrets“That was close." She muttered to herself while touching her temple.Bella did not move for a long time after Andre left the room after his assault. For her it was partly shock and a left over of anxiety from almost being caught.In a way,the room still felt disturbed, as though it

    An August Visitor. Bella did not break the seal at once even afterwards. She turned the letter over in her hand, thumb pressing against the edge until the paper bent slightly.She shut her eyes for a second. “No I won't, I made a promise to him." She turned it in her hands again and checked it on
