On the Other Side...

As Liam took his seat in class, Rayan leaned over and asked, "She still hasn't stopped bothering you?"

"No, man, it's such a pain in the ass. I can't even do anything about it without hurting Aunt Elizabeth. I've lost count of the number of times I've rejected her advances. I can't even have a few peaceful days at home," Liam said, massaging his forehead to relieve the tension.

Rayan patted his friend's shoulder, trying to ease his irritation.

Their conversation was cut short as the professor entered the classroom.

Meanwhile, outside, a Lamborghini Veneno sped through the university gates at lightning speed, captivating everyone with the driver's skillful handling. When the car came to a stop in the parking lot, a stunning girl with deep blue eyes and straight chocolate brown hair emerged.

She stood at 5'8" and wore a white knee-length one-piece dress paired with simple stilettos and a brown leather bag from Guess. Her outfit perfectly complemented her fair skin, enhancing her beauty even more. She looked like a goddess descended to earth, leaving everyone, both girls and boys, mesmerized by her presence.

She glanced around for a few seconds before walking towards the admin block.

Finally, the first day of college ended, and students poured into the corridors, heading to their various destinations.

"It's just the first day, and they already started with the lessons," Vickey complained as the group made their way towards the parking lot.

"As if it makes any difference to you. It's not like you were listening to a single word the professor said," Jude retorted.

"You..." Vickey pointed his index finger at Jude, trying to come up with a retort, but no words came out. He huffed and walked towards his vehicle angrily.

"These guys—when are they going to grow up?" Jenny commented, shaking her head at the two idiots walking ahead.

Once they reached the parking lot, Alex called out, "Guys, I just got a few passes for the 'Neon Lights' event tonight. Shall we go?"

"We don't have any other plans for today. Let's go," Ria said.

"I never say no to good music and booze," Jude added.

"Okay then, let's go," Alex said.

Neon Lights was held at the beach, vibrantly decorated with LED lights. Food trucks offered a wide variety of options, while DJs and live bands performed on stage, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Liam and his group danced, drank, and ate until they were too drained to stand. They collapsed into an open tent near the seawater, chatting nonsensically.

Suddenly, a cool wind blew some sand particles into Lily's eyes. She tried to rub them out, but it only made things worse, causing her eyes to water from the discomfort. The others tried to help by blowing on her eyes, but it didn't work. They thought of using water to wash the sand out, but there was none in the tent. Liam grabbed an empty bottle and hurried to the water dispenser nearby.

He filled the bottle quickly and rushed back to the tent. In his haste, he didn't notice someone walking in front of him and bumped into them, causing his water bottle and the other person's phone to fall. Since the cap of the bottle wasn't screwed on properly, water spilled all over the phone.

"NO!" "FU*K!" they exclaimed simultaneously, glaring at each other in frustration.

    Liam stepped forward wordlessly. He knelt, lifting the bundle out with surprising care. Up close, the box looked even more alien, its edges seamless, its surface etched with that old royal crest so finely it almost seemed to breathe under the soft terrace light.As Liam held it, a faint pulse of familiarity brushed the back of his mind — a flicker, like a forgotten dream he couldn’t quite catch. He frowned, fingers drifting over the delicate engravings.Sharon’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts, oblivious to the storm flickering behind his eyes. She brushed off her hands and nudged him with her elbow.“See? Told you it’s impossible to open. Believe me, I tried hammers, acid, enchantments and even bribed a shady locksmith once. Useless.”But before she could finish her triumphant rant, Liam moved. Almost without thought, he crossed to the stone table at the terrace’s centre. He laid the box down gently, then h

    A gentle voice drifted in from behind them at that moment “Why, in the gods’ names, are you all laughing like a pack of drunk hyenas?”Liam’s head whipped around so fast he nearly toppled off the fountain’s ledge. Gracefully walking towards them on the lantern-lit path was Elena with an elegant brow arched. A stray curl fell over her forehead, making her look far too lovely for Liam’s sanity.As she drew closer, Liam sprang to his feet and offered his hand to her with exaggerated gallantry “It’s nothing darling, they are just pulling my leg” he said, shooting a glare at his so-called friends. As Elena slipped her hand into his, he added quickly, “Come, sit here with me—”But Elena halted him with a light touch to his chest “No, I can’t stay. I just got a call from Master Kai, I have to leave now, there’s some work to handle.”Liam’s face fell immediately,

    The rest of the event unfolded exactly as it should have… elegant, filled with laughter and warm words.When the final toast was raised beneath a canopy of lanterns swaying gently in the twilight breeze, Elena and Liam slipped away from the endless line of well-wishers to join their closest friends by the secluded fountain courtyard.The air smelled of blooming night jasmines; gentle music drifted from the main garden. Edward and Elizabeth were laughing over some childhood story; Cassandra and Alistair bickered playfully over wine at a distance while Alisha leaned close to Ria, whispering something that made her giggle behind her hand.Liam sat with Elena tucked easily against his side on the wide stone ledge of the fountain. She toyed with his fingers idly, smiling at something Cassandra said about her brother’s dancing.But then Elena rose lightly, brushing a kiss to Liam’s temple. “Excuse me for a moment, I need to use the powe

    The Queen Mother shook her head, fondness warming her features as she regarded the young woman before her.“You remind me of your mother and Elizabeth when they were of your age,” the older queen murmured, her voice pitched for Elena alone “But far braver than they ever dared to be. May the gods keep your courage strong, child.”“Thank you, Your Majesty” Elena’s smile softened, and she dipped her head once more in respect. Then, catching a familiar ripple of deep laughter over her shoulder, she turned slightly and there he was.Liam, freshly bathed and roguishly handsome in his formal attire, hair still damp at the temples, strode through the canopy’s entrance. His eyes, searching the garden, found Elena’s at once, and the mischief that flared there nearly made her cheeks betray her all over again.Alistair followed her gaze and let out a knowing huff of amusement “Ah… and here comes your

    “Mine…” he growled softly, every kiss sealing that promise into her skin “Only mine…”Elena’s soft gasp turned into a half-laugh, half-whimper as his lips marked a slow, heated path down her neck. She clutched at his shoulders, eyes fluttering shut when he found that tender spot just above her collarbone, the place he knew made her forget the world existed.“Liam…” she breathed, though it came out more like a plea than a scolding.“Mmh?” he hummed against her skin, mouth curving into a wicked smile that she could feel rather than see.“Stop— wait—” she managed, but any protest dissolved when he nipped lightly at her pulse, then soothed it with his tongue. The sensation made her knees weaken and a soft, helpless sound escaped her throat.When he finally lifted his head, his eyes were dark, pupils blown wide with possessive heat. Her own reflection trem

    Louis, who had lingered nearby with arms folded, watched the tender moment with a grin tugging at his lips. He let the silence settle like a blessing over the garden before clearing his throat deliberately.“Alright, sentimental uncle,” he drawled, mischief dancing in his tone, “you’ve stolen enough of my daughter’s peace for now. Go wash off the dust before you frighten the nobles, the ceremony is about to begin.”Liam lifted his gaze, scowling playfully at his brother “Yes, yes, Lord Father-Hen. Don’t glare, I’m going.”Louis just chuckled and clapped him on the shoulder once more, pushing him gently toward the main corridor that led his room in the manor.Reluctantly, Liam rose to his feet, casting one last glance at the sleeping baby and the proud mother beside her before turning away, boots silent now against the marble floors polished for the celebration.He tugged at the collar of h
