Ariana's p.o.v
I was so over the moon when my Superior at work gave me the contract I had been praying for, I was to supervise the construction that was going to cover all of my problems, I really needed the money a lot, the only condition I hated in the contract was the fact that I had to stay in the same house as the owner of the house, Mr Edih, and rumor was spreading around of how he was a total womanizer, but according to all the woman he was a Greek god in the flesh that was worth dying for.
I wasn't very pretty, but I was sure I was somehow attractive, I mean I stood at 6'0, slim with a fair skin and medium breast, I wasn't that bad at all.
I was sitting in the car that had been on the road for more than two hours, looking at the prints of the place I had to supervise, the driver was kind enough to let me be, without being disturbed, I had a lot to plan and think about.
"Lady isn't this the place?" He asked as I looked at the huge gate that was in front of us.
"It should be" I answered as I folded the prints and pulled out some money from my hand bag then handed it to the him.
I came out with my small suitcase and moved to the gate, I regretted leaving my car back home, but I was in such a hurry that I didn't know where I had left my keys, I stood looking at the monitor and the security camera that was there.
The gate opened and a guard came out.
"Are you miss Ariana?" He asked.
"Yes" I answered quickly.
"May I see your work I.D or any form of identification?" He asked.
"Sure" I answered.
I put the suitcase down and pulled out my work ID from my bag and handed it to him, he looked at it carefully then smiled.
"Follow me" he said as I smiled back and lifted the suitcase.
He walked in while I followed slowly behind, I looked around observing the place, the place had guards moving around, it looked clean and well taken of, on my right were a few trees, on my left was what looked like a maze, I took in a deep breath admiring the big mansion that looked like a palace from a movie, expensive cars were parked outside, I noticed many were sports cars, at the door step stood a very good looking man, he was tall, taller than me, he had lovely light brown eyes and neat black short hair, his smile was friendly and he looked very welcoming, his casual black T - shirt and blue jean trousers made him look hot, he was exactly my type.
We moved closer and stood in front of him.
"I'll take it from here" he said softly as the guard nodded then left.
"Hi miss Ariana, I'm Pete Edih, welcome to our home" he said.
"Thank you" I answered calmly.
"May I carry that for you?" He asked as I happily handed my suitcase to him.
"Come with me" he said then walked in the house.
I followed as we went upstairs, we walked silently in the corridor, I held my gasp in, the architecture who had worked on this house was amazing, the details were nicely done and every material used was of high quality, when he reached the room that was at the end, he opened it and walked in with me.
"This will be your room" Pete said while putting my suitcase down.
"Thank you" I answered.
"Well then, I will let you get comfortable" he said.
"Um thanks again" I answered as he walked out and closed the door behind him.
I quickly threw myself on the big bed happily and breathed in deeply taking in the beautiful rose scent that was in the room then breathed out.
"What a nice place, my small condo can't even compare to this bedroom" I murmured to myself.
I looked at the bag when my phone rang, I quickly took it out and answered it while sitting upright.
"Yes"
"Its me Pam, I stole kens phone for a while, so,Tell me?, How is the place, Is it that nice?" She asked curiously.
"The place is so big and beautiful, I can't compare my work to the architecture and landscaper who worked on this place" I said loudly as I stood up.
"Don't say that, our boss chose you because you are the very best we have" she said as I laughed softly.
Pam was really good in cheering me on whenever I felt down or degraded.
"Thank you" I answered.
"You are welcome, now tell me, is Mr Edih as handsome as people say he is?" She asked quickly as I frowned annoyed at her.
"Now I know the reason you called" I answered.
"Oh come on, tell me, I'm dying to know, is he unfriendly and cold like the portray him to be?" She asked.
"Well, he is very handsome, but he doesn't seem cold and unfriendly, his quite the opposite it seems, his kind and friendly, he welcomed me personally at the door and carried my suitcase, plus showed me my room" I answered with a smile.
"Mmmm be careful, you already sound like a fan girl, you might fall for him" she warned as I laughed.
"I won't, I was just answering your desperate questions, I wish you could have been here with me" I said as she laughed too.
"No way, I can't leave the office alone, since you aren't here, Its now my chance to outshine you, maybe our boss might now notice me" she answered.
"Okay, let me get some rest, I will call you when I finish unpacking okay" I said.
"Alright" she answered then disconnected the call.
I lay down while thinking of how the day would be tomorrow.
Neifar's p.o.vTwo weeks later"Why isn't she waking up, its now two weeks!" I yelled at the physician angrily while he examined Lorin who was still laying unconscious. "Brother please calm down" Hythan said loudly. I looked at him then sighed. "Hythan you shouldn't be moving up and down in your condition, you are still injured remember" I said as he smiled. "I'm okay brother, it's just that I'm sad. I still can't believe you took down a group of warriors just like that without an army, I wish I too was there," he said. "Hey, focus on getting better, those bandages don't look good on you," I answered.He touched his bandages then nodded. "The herbalist was your student right, Are you a student too?, I'm talking to you old man!" I yelled at the physician angrily while he felt Lorins pulse. "Brother, his the best physician in our land, he always succeeds in everything he does, so please refrain from yelling at him," Hythan answered as the physician gasped loudly, we quickly looked
Neifar's p.o.vI picked up a dagger from the small table that was next to me and threw it near her feet. "Lorin, if what you said is really true and that you really love me, you will stab yourself, if you really were part of the plan and wanted revenge on me, this is your chance to kill me, I promise I won't fight back," I said then closed my eyes. No matter how upset I was, I saw no meaning in hurting the woman I love, the me then would have murdered her in a second, but the way I felt now was different, I embraced myself for my death by her hand, I was better of dead than killing the love of my life. I opened my eyes when I heard her cry out in pain, she stood looking at me with tears, the dagger was stuck in her stomach, her light blue dress had blood covered on it, I stood up in fear and rushed to her, she was about to fall when I held her in my arms, she groaned then coughed out blood. I quickly lifted her up and looked at her. "Neifar, I love you, I'm sorry" she cried.I qui
Lorins p.o.vI woke up and yawned with smile, I was feeling at peace and happy with myself, I turned and found Neifar laying next to me with his back towards me, my smile faded when I saw my nail scratches on his back, I quickly sat upright and touched the scratches, he shifted a bit then turned and faced me. "Whats wrong?" He asked Softly. "I'm sorry, I scratched your back badly," I answered. "Well that's a small price I had to pay for holding you the whole night," he said as I shyly looked away. "Lorin," he called softly, I turned and faced him. "As of today, I am yours and you are mine, lets never keep secrets between us, if you are sad and unhappy about anything you can tell me okay?, This is my first time to ever fall in love and care for a woman, So I will try my best to make you happy," he said seriously as my heart beat wildly. "Did you just confess that you are in love with me?" I asked. He sat upright and laughed softly. "Yes, I have just confessed it to you," he answ
Lorins p.o.vI woke up feeling happy, and for some reason sheila had not returned since yesterday, I went to the stream and took a bath quickly knowing John was somewhere near watching me, I came out of the stream and went back into the palace, as I walked into sheilas room I couldn't help but think of how much I wanted Neifar and how I didn't want to kill or hurt him.i Sheila sat on her bed counting some gold coins happily, when she saw me she smiled. "Whatever you did to my master was really bad," she said with a playful laugh. "I didn't do anything," I answered. "Well I went to attend to my master, master was really strained and in pain, its been a very long time since he required my service, I'm sure he must be dying to make love to you, although, you shouldn't think I spend the whole night with him," she said as I angrily glared at her. Why would he go to her when he had me in his arms last night. "Oh my god, you like him!" she exclaimed loudly. "Stop talking nonsense, I d
Neifar's p.o.vI woke up feeling low spirited. I took a bath in the stream thinking it would make me feel better but it did nothing, I ordered Hythan to tell everyone not to disturb me as I sat in my tent.Gabriel walked in without a alerting or calling me. "Why are you here?, Didn't Hythan tell you to send someone to follow the princess?" I asked. "Yes my lord, one of the guard did and he came back with a report, he said the princess is on her way here, she is sent by her people to kill you" he said as I chuckled. "Leave me" I ordered.He bowed then walked out. I lay down sadly going through the bad things I had done in my past, somehow I knew she would come back for revenge, she really did hate me after all.I stayed quiet for what seemed like forever, when I heard light footsteps outside my tent I shifted. "My lord" sheila called. "I told Hythan to tell everyone not to disturb me" I said loudly. "Forgive me but princess Lorin has returned" she said.I quickly sat upright with
Lorins p.o.vThe sun was setting and we didn't walk far, we were still in the Savage's land, Brian found a nice place for all of us to rest, he really was helpful. I sat on the ground feeling happy but some how surprised, I couldn't believe that Neifar had really let me go with my people, he was really a man of his words, after hurting me he apologized and I somehow felt better, right now he was all I could think of. Brian stood up and cleared his throat. "My people, when I was captured in the land of the savages I noticed something there, unlike our land their land is very fertile, they have a lot of food, jewelry and weapons, also the women there are so beautiful, instead of going back to our boring land, what do you say we take over the savages land!" He screamed as the man stood up with cheers. I looked at Brian in shock. "All we have to do is kill the leader then it will be easy to kill the rest" he said. "Yes!" The men answered together. "No!, Are you all insane? That land
