KaelanAlthough things were going relatively well between I and Joye, I still felt the need to make a grand gesture, just to make things a bit better between us. "What's up with you and Joye?" Aiden asked as we both walked through the halls of the company. We had a meeting with one of the shareholders today and were currently heading towards the conference room."Does it seem like something is up with us?" I returned. I wasn't the type that spoke publicly about a personal relationship, but I knew Aiden had caught up to the recent happenings. Throughout the week I hadn't been myself, so noticing our issues would not be that difficult. "You've barely spoken for almost a week now, and you seemed down for a while. But you seem to be fine now, have you resolved the issue?""You seem very invested in my relationship with Joye, could it be you have an eye for my queen?" I teased. "Of course not, I'm only looking out for you, my lord," Aiden replied. At this point, it was useless trying to
JoyeA week had passed now since our trip to the countryside, and things were moving smoothly for the time being. My relationship with Kaelan had grown significantly, and I now had the freedom to leave the mansion and tour around the kingdom anytime I liked. Life was getting a lot better and easier, and I honestly couldn't ask for anything more. Rising from the bed, I sauntered towards the refrigerator to grab myself a bottle of water. It was the break of dawn, and for some reason, I had woken up earlier than always. Maybe it was because of the happy thoughts that were constantly popping up in my head, vivid dreams, and unending streams of reverie. It didn't matter, now that I was awake I wanted to be close to Kaelan as soon as possible. Without waiting for Mary or any of the other maids, I entered the bathroom and prepared my bath. A warm bath to compensate for the cold weather. Winter was coming soon, it was already more than obvious. After having my bath, I dressed up in the fir
JoyeI stared at Kaelan in shock, perplexed and devoid of the right words to speak. Surely he wasn't being serious about this, maybe I heard incorrectly. "You're leaving for another trip so soon?!" I asked for clarification, but his answers remained the same. "Unfortunately yes, but I'll be back soon I promise." He reassured, but I wasn't listening. It wasn't a matter of him returning soon or later, I just didn't want him to go at all. "Are you sure I can't come along? I swear I won't be a hindrance." I pleaded, but the likeliness that I was coming along were rather slim. This time it was just more than just a business trip, it seemed as though this trip concerned Kaelan, and Kaelan alone. There was no way I was coming along this time, the disappointed expression on his face said it all."I'm sorry, but I can't take you along with me this time. It might be a dangerous trip, and I don't want your life to be put at risk." His hand stroke my chin gently, and with his thumb he wiped aw
JoyeIt's been three days now, and Kaelan was supposed to return home today. It was already evening and was drawing closer to Nightfall, yet there was no sign of Kaelan. I wasn't worried though, I knew he was alright. I just didn't want to be believe or think that for some reason Kaelan has decided to extend his trip.It wasn't likely, if there were any sudden changes Kaelan would have informed me by now. Maybe his flight was delayed, or maybe he was somewhere in the city, stuck in traffic. Whatever the reason was I really couldn't care less, I just wanted Kaelan by my side as soon as possible. Although we were frequently in touch with each other these past days, I still felt lonely, and my thoughts wouldn't stop harassing me. Ever since my trip to the country side, and after hearing the words of that elder I couldn't get it out of mind. He had referred to me as "The chosen one," and it has been bothering me ever since. He didn't explain his words, and I hadn't asked of the meaning
JoyeI was first to wake, and I sat up by the bedside, While Kaelan lay naked beside me. He was fast asleep, but the throbbing in my head wouldn't allow me to get a decent rest. Maybe it was the effects that came after your first experience, I didn't know, so I really couldn't be sure. Or maybe it was because I had fallen asleep and had skipped dinner last night. It was a mild one, not something to be worried about.Sauntering towards the refrigerator, I took out a bottle of water and gulped down its content. Taking a look at the clock by my side I discovered that it was still two hours to the break of dawn. I needed to get back to bed, and back to sleep.As I settled on the bed once more, my eyes fell on Kaelan's perfect naked body, and in came the memories of last night's experience. How we were lost in the depths of our desire, filled with passion, and overwhelmed with pleasure. Last night had been perfect, and I couldn't begin to imagine just how good it would be when we get marri
Joye The drive from the mansion to the Nithercott residence took exactly an hour. Before departure Melanie had informed me that we'd be gone for three days, and after hearing her say those words I began reconsidering my words. But it was too late now, I had already given her my words, and trying to cancel midway would cause a lot of problems not just for Melanie, but for me too. "You don't have go if you don't want to." Kaelan had reminded, but I'd been too stubborn and adventurous to listen. Now I wasn't so proud of that decision. Kaelan had just returned from his trip, and I'd barely survived his absence. And now this woman was taking me away from Kaelan just two days after, it was a nightmare but I will learn to adapt. Those three days of Kaelan's absence really helped me in my growth. Although it wasn't the most pleasant days, I learnt to survive and live without Kaelan, and hopefully I'll be able to replicate that feat right here and the Nithercott mansion. "We're here!" Came
KaelanI was soaked in my own sweat, my joints felt stiff, and my skin recoiled in fear as I recalled the events of the nightmare that remains ever vivid in my consciousness. Just like every night these past two days, my dreams have been haunted by the same nightmares and it was honestly driving me crazy. Although I was reliving the same nightmare over and over again, I couldn't seem to get used to it. Every night it felt as though it was the first time experiencing the horror. As always I found myself in a burning kingdom where I could feel nothing, not even air itself. And after trying to find Joye in the mess I would always run into a familiar lady who's about to be burnt at the stake. For some reason she was the only entity who I could feel in the entirety of my nightmare. Staring down at the luminous face of my alarm clock, I made a mental note of the time before climbing down completely from the bed. "Half past four." I whispered as I sauntered towards the kitchen for an ear
Joye My days here hadn't exactly been the worst, but they weren't the best either. I would definitely say that I had been a little bit too harsh on myself, the experience wasn't half as bad as what I had expected it to be. But regardless, I was still happy that this was the last day I was spending in this place. Once I was done with this souvenir shopping, I was going back to Kaelan immediately. Speaking of Kaelan, he hasn't been sounding so good recently. Although he claimed to be alright, I could hear the stress in his voice, something was up with him and I could tell. "Are you sure this is a good idea? I wouldn't mind leaving empty handed." I said to Melanie who was too invested in finding me the perfect souvenir to take back home. She was a collector, and preferred the rarest of the rare. I knew that until she found the best item in this exhibit I wasn't going to leave her mansion. "I can't let you off without something. The queen paid me a visit, you should have something of
