Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 35 – NEVER MINE TO KEEP
HELENA That day, I had nothing to say to Julian other than agree to stay. It was clear he was not going to let me leave and I couldn’t disobey him. after talking for a while, I made breakfast for us. After eating, he left his guard and went to the next village where he used to live. He was gone for two hours before coming back with his things and insisted on staying with me for a couple of days.I tried to protest telling him about how inappropriate it was, and he only told me that I was his anyway, who cared what those villagers thought. That was how we spent five days together. I moved to grandma’s room and he took mine. Living with him was not bad at all. He helped around the house.Chopping wood, which was shocking for a prince. Going to the market to buy us food and helping with the cooking. I enjoyed being with him and the fear I had held on to felt like a joke compared to reality. Those days I could breathe easy and sleep well. Which was a first after grandma passed.But of co
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 34 – BRING HIM BACK
QUEEN DOWAGER “My queen, I have news.” The spy I had sent after the prince came back. “Tell me.” that boy must think I had time to play childish games with him. must he make this difficult for reason? “The prince has moved into the woman’s house.” I slammed the table. The teacups rattled and the tea my maid had poured spilled forming a dark stain on the tablecloth.Much like the stain the crown prince was leaving in my heart. “Take palace fifty palace guards and bring him back.” the king walked in right at that moment. “If the crown prince refuses to return on his own, bring him back in chains. I want him in the palace at down!” Who did that boy think he was. Openly defying me like that, for an orphan nobody!Defying me, his grandmother was one thing, but putting the future of Dasha at risk was another. I glanced at my son, the one I had placed upon the throne with my own hands. He stood there looking at me as if I were a monster. I never thought my son would be this weak. He certai
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 33 – THE CONFESSION
HELENA I stood there, staring at him in stunned silence. My mind had gone completely blank. He wanted me, a maid, to become his legal wife. Not a concubine. Not a consort. His wife. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or convince myself I had misheard him. my heart pounded wildly as I searched his face for any sign that this was a joke. Finding none, I finally found my voice.“Your Highness, if you are doing this to repay the debt of me saving you from the fire, there is no need. It was this subject’s duty to protect Your Highness.” Shock spread across his face. By the gods, he didn’t know. I must have offended a god in my past life to have such terrible luck. I had survived the palace, survived the village, survived the forest.Only to go and confess everything to the prince myself. “What did you just say?” his brows drew together in confusion. There was no escaping this now. I couldn’t pretend I hadn’t spoken or ignore what had just confessed. I turned away and tossed the words ov
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 32 – COULDN’T LEAVE
JULIAN I watched her walk away. I watched her disappear into her room. I watched the light inside go out. yet, I couldn’t bring myself to leave. I remained beneath the old tree, staring at the closed door as though it might suddenly open again. My entire body felt drained. What went wrong? My mind replayed every word I had spoken.Every pause, every look, every mistake. I searched desperately for the moment everything fell apart. I wanted to find it. because If I knew what I had done wrong. I could fix it. more than anything, I wanted Helena to know I had meant every word. Not one of them had been a lie. She might have been worried about the difference in our status.But that meant nothing to me. I rubbed my forehead in frustration. “You are an idiot, Julian.” A groan escaped me. “How could you forget something so important?” I had confessed my feelings, but I had never told her what those feelings meant. To me, there was never another choice.I wasn’t asking her to become my concub
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 31 – DOUBT
HELENAI stared at him in silence while my mind raced in every direction. His eyes remained tightly shut, his confession hanging between us like a blade. Who was he acting for? I had always known the royals were cruel. I had seen enough to know mercy rarely existed within the palace walls. But I had never imagined they could be this cruel.They would use any weapon to achieve their goals. Power, fear, money, death. But love, love as a weapon I had never expected them to wield. The prince certainly had an imaginative mind. Did he truly believe I would fall for something so ridiculous? Did he think I was that desperate?That lonely, that foolish? When I gave him no response, he slowly opened his eyes. The moment our gazes met, panic flickered across his face. Real panic. His lips parted before he spoke. “Say something.” His voice was barely above a whisper. He couldn’t even look directly at me. as though my silence hurt more than any words I could have spoken.It almost looked…no. I sho
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 30 – FIRST ATTEMPT
HELENAI stayed like that for a while, until silence was the only thing I could hear. My heart beat calmed as I stood with determination. I had one thought in mind, get home, pack a bag, take the silver and run. I could wait till morning, that was a risk I was not willing to take. I walked to the gate got inside.I hurried into my room and packed only what I needed. Clothes, important documents and every piece of silver I owned. Everything fit into one bundle. My gaze wandered around the room. every corner held a memory. The wooden cabinet grandma insisted on polishing every week despite its faded colour.The little stool where I had sat as a child while she braided my hair. Th cracked teapot she refused to throw away because grandpa had made it for her with his own hands. Now of it was valuable to anyone else, yet every piece carried a part of my life.My fingers brushed over the edge of the table as I walked past it. countless meals have been shared there. countless evenings spent l
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 24 – THE HUNT
JULIANThe stag burst through the trees, its hooves pounding against the damp earth. I smiled as I urged my horse forward, refusing to let the animal escape. The thrill of the chase had always been my favourite part. Not the kill itself, but the moment prey realized there was no where left to run.
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 23 – DECISION MAKING
HELELA Zane leaned against the wooden fence, watching me in silence as I kept sighing, deep in thoughts. He knew better than to rush me whenever I was sorting through my thoughts. After a long while, he finally spoke. “The royals will be here in three days.” Another sigh escaped my lips.I lifted
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 22 – PEOPLE’S NATURE
HELENA I stared at the old man in disbelief. For a moment I wondered if I heard him correctly. He said I was ungrateful, yet I wasn’t asking for charity or a loan. I was asking to be paid what was due to me, for the land they had been using, for free. How was that being ungrateful?“Chief,” I said
Surviving the World to Escape Him CHAPTER 21 – THE PUSH
HELENA Julian left looking pleased with himself. He glanced at Zane with a provocative look before mounting his horse and leaving with his friend, who acted more like a guard than a friend. Money though, it had a way of making one humble themselves in front of those with silver. The moment Julian
