“We have to turn around, the road is badly damaged. We will stay in a hotel tonight and have my helicopter pick us by morning” he informed Lia. “Okay!" Lia nods without demanding to know much. There was no need of asking since he wouldn't unconceal a thing about himself.Before they got to a road side hotel, it was already nightfall. Walking into the reception, a lady walked up to receive them.“Welcome Mr and Mrs?”“Liam and Dahlia” He replied.“This is Campville hotel” the receptionist said with a welcoming smile. “Fortunately, we have just one available room for now. It is warm and comfortable for a newly wed” she winked at Lia who rolled her eyes and looked away. Liam knitted his eye brow in embarrassment, looking at the middle aged receptionist who got the wrong picture. He cleared his throat and looked away to another direction, like he was searching for something on the wall, but suddenly a plan came into his head, to use that as an advantage to taunt her. “We are not a cou
Seeing how agitated she looked, he clearly understood that she was nervous. He proceeded taunt her even more.“You don't have to all antsy, I'm a gentle man, so don’t worry. I won’t do anything funny to you. Not unless you want it” He said.“Pervert! She blurts with a clenched fist. “You will be dead even before you try”Hearing this, he decides to dare her further. He climbs into the bed, beside her."We all agreed that you are using the couch right? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" She shivered, thinking of what could happen if she stays too close.“I'm not carved out for couches. My skin is tender. Besides, the bed is wide enough for two. How about we demarcate the bed with the pillows into two equal halves, and enjoy our beauty sleep?” he suggests.“You do it, and I will choose first” she watched him demarcate the bed into two unequal half and dived into the bigger part.“You cheat! She yelled pulling him by his legs. But he lay sprawled on the bed. “You are the most exaspe
It was morning, she opened her eyes to breakfast resting on the bed shelve beside her, and a note on the tray. “Good morning sunshine!” It then came back to her in a flash, all the events of last night. She could remember vividly, how he asked her to be his girlfriend and how she had said yes. She touched her lips and smiled. His kisses were still fresh on her lips. The scent of his body still dominated the room. She inhaled it and smiled again.“Awake ah?” He asked from the door. Immediately, she adjusted herself and sits up. She didn’t want him to know she was too excited about the whole thing. So she avoided his gaze and tried to act cool. “Did you sleep well?” He asked unwrapping the paper bag with him. “Yes of course” she simply replied and uncovered the food on the tray. “I ordered some new clothes. I think they should fit perfectly” he shrugged. But there were no response from her. she just nodded and pretended to focus on the food. She was too nervous to speak. “Are
Liam rushed back to the mansion knowing something was wrong. He could sense Zaiya's presence, her scent was all over the air. He wondered what could have brought her to earth without his consent. But above that, he had to make sure Lia was okay. Walking into the living room, there was no trace of Lia. Turning to his side, he saw Zaiya wearing a welcoming smile."Welcome my prince" She bows with her face to the ground. But he turned his face away in disapproval, knowing what she had done."What did you do?" He roared angrily, his anger stirred a tremendous thunderclap."I exposed her to the truth my Prince, she had to know. She deserves it!" Zaiya replied courteously, with her face still bowed to the ground."And who are you to decide what she can and cannot know?" He thundered. The cloud darkened, following his dark gleaming eyes that portrayed great anger."Forgive me my prince, I was just following orders, a fealty" She tried to defend from his anger."Whose orders? How dare yo
"Dahlia, please open the door, I need to talk to you, Please?" Katy begged outside the door, but she kept mute and avoided her. But she wouldn't give up that easily.She had her strategy to lure her out, her last resort. She wasn't sure it would work but she tried regardless. "Dad just flew in this morning Lia, he wants to see you" Katy Lied."What?" Lia slammed the door open. "Tell me you didn't tell him anything?" She stared at Katy who reciprocated with a shrug."What was I suppose to do Lia? I was scared for you. Look at you, so pale and skinny. Am your sister for god sake, what ever hurts you hurts me too. How could you be so selfish?" She yelled at Lia who looked away sadly. "Liam has been looking throughout the whole city for you, he is going insane. How could you put him in that kind of situation?" Katy asked."You're right about one thing, I was selfish for shutting you out. But how come am the only one who is taking the blame? You should have seen what I saw Katy, how I felt
She fluttered her eyes open to the cold morning breeze rushing in through the curtains. The birds chirped just beside the garden beside her window. She tossed about on the bed and stretched her body with a long yawn.It then occurred to her that she had fallen on her own bed."But how?" She asked inwardly. With her eyes, she searched around the room for him, but there was nothing to show that he was ever in that room..For a moment she thought the incident of yesterday was a dream. A sudden relief flashed across her mind as she tried to assume nothing happened. But she could also vividly recall talking beside him while he lay frozen on the bed. She stood up and opened the curtains, the warm morning sun greeted her face. She lingered to enjoy the warmth and perhaps, rethink about the yesterday's incident.The moment was interrupted by a voice behind her. She turned to see Liam standing beside the door. He was looking as handsome as ever. His gorgeous yellow eyes paired with the
Lia laughs briefly at his ridiculous assumptions. The more she tries to believe him, the more it seems impossible to believe. She has taken weeks to digest his mysterious shift from a presumed normal guy to a supernatural being. Now this? She thought with her hands on her chin."You expect me to believe all this right?" She asked, as soon as she stops laughing. "I know it might sound funny. Am sure nobody would believe that. But it's all clear Lia, you don't seem to remember anything from your past life, you said it yourself. Am sure you didn't just fall from the sky""It's called amnesia Liam, am sure I am no where connected to your alien girlfriend" she replied, refusing to attach any other meaning to her life."Remember the signs I asked you about? It's a broken message from Dah'ila, from you. I couldn't have been mistaken. In the kingdom, ACLEUXX means love and the other part of the message was found yesterday. CAHLEAR means unbroken. This is not a coincidence. Our first kiss happ
They sit in front of the Michaelsons, after which he drives her back to the city.Things between them were beginning to get back to normal, only after he assured her that she was the only one in his heart. They spent a lot of time laughing and discussing about personal issues they dared not say out before.Only then did she really see the other part of him, the chatty one."I bought a new mansion. I bet you are going to love it. It's just like the previous one, but an advanced version and less old-school" he mimicked her."What happened to the one you live before?" She asked narrowing her brows."That mansion holds memories of thousands of years. My isolation, my shadows, pains and regrets. Things has changed since I met you. Am someone better. Living there is like serving a new food with an old plate" "Are you going to put it on sale?" "No, I am just going to fade it into ashes and let it float with the air and vanish out of existence" he replied."You mean burn it down?" She aske
