The next morning....
The fresh sun rays, illuminated her golden hair like fire. Her pale skin was covered with tear marks, and her pillow was yet wet. She was taking deep breaths, with a faint smile on her face as if dreaming about the happy times she had spent in the royal palace. Her eyes flickered as the fresh sunrays, fell upon her delicate features. She looked a carbon copy of just her mother, equally gorgeous with long eye lashes. But she never really bothered to wear expensive clothes or look feminine. Her thick glasses were places on top of the book which she was reading last night, while her loose satin gown was partially lifted up to her knees as she slept like a scared little baby on her tiny bed.The birds chipped on the wall of the terrace, as if singing a happy song in contrast to the sad song playing in Eva’s mind. “Thump Thump! GET UP!” The loud knocking on the door and a piercing voice of a female woke up the girl from her peaceful dream and straightened her back with a jolt. She swiped back her messy long hair locks and rushed towards the door to open it. With trembling hands, she opened the door only to see the lady she abhorred the most, standing right in front of her.“You lazy girl. You are late again. Here take this.” She threw a pink coloured beautiful gown on her face and handed her over a ruby set, with matching earrings. “Wear this and come dressed in an hour. Or is my coronation today” The lady grinned proudly, throwing daggers at the sad looking girl. Diana was today going to be declared the successor of the king and will soon ne bestowed with the most prestigious royal stature as she was the widowed wife of the king.Diana, the royal queen married King William six years back, and thus achieved the status of the queen and Eva’s step mother. Originally hailing from a middle class family, she always had her eyes upon the king ever since Eva’s birth mother Sofia passed away due to a heart disease. Diana had started to stalk the king, ever since the news of Sofia’s death was printed in the tabloids, eight years back.
After several months of stalking, finally Diana pretended to have met with an accident near the Royal palace. She was rushed inside the palace to be shown to King’s doctor and the king was informed immediately. King William was a man with a golden heart and cared for his people, even in this modern world. He instantly rushed to see the civilian who had met with an accident and that is when Diana could finally come face to face with the king. “Oh, my head hurts. I cannot remember anything.” A distressed looking Diana pretended to have forgotten everything after hitting her head with the glass of the car window. King William looked at the damsel in distress, wanting to help her in anyway as he could. “Relax. Do not worry my lady. You are in the royal palace and you have nothing to be worried about.” He gently held Diana’s shivering hand, trying to calm her down.Diana took the opportunity and gripped his hand tightly, taking deep breaths. Her face full of makeup and hair tied in a high bun, clearly depicted that she was all prepared to show her best side to the king. But the king thought of nothing else and instantly ordered for Diana to stay in the royal palace till she does not remember her family. “Oh thank you. You are so kind.” Diana gave her best innocent look and looked at the handsome royal man, dressed in a royal blue suit. “It is my duty Miss. The staff and the doctor shall take care of you. I shall get the right wing of the palace open for you.” The man bowed a bit in courtesy and walked away instructing his staff. Diana smirked as soon as everybody’s attention was diverted away from her and took out her cell phone, which she had been hiding in her dress.‘Work done mother.’ She texted her mother happily and smugly and an instant reply from her mother lit up her face.‘Don’t forget the rules of seduction. He is a man after all and you are beautiful. He should not be able to stay away from you for very long. Seduce him so much, that he forgets his earlier wife’s death. Good luck daughter. We shall keep meeting secretly.’ Ever since that day, Diana had been barging in the King’s personal wing and gaining sympathy. From pretending to have anxiety issues to making king take care of her personally, finally she managed to woo his heart. She had been a nice company to Eva as well and Eva too was happy with her father’s decision to get married again. But after sudden demise of her father, everything changed. Diana was no longer the same friendly person she pretended to be and had also banished Eva to enter the main premises of the palace.......
Eva looked at the lady as she held her pink gown. Diana was dressed in a beautiful pastel green coloured gown, which once belonged to her birth mother. The tiara she adorned on her head was given to the queen of the palace, with now Diana wore proudly on her head. A tear dropped down from Eza eyes as she looked at Diana and how she tried to look like her birth mother. “Not even half as graceful and pretty as my mother you are. No matter how much you try, you can never be the queen of people.” She glared at the lady, full of botox and fillers, mustering all her strength.“Why you!!” The lady’s already stiff and raised eyebrows arched upwards in anger and she planted a tight slap on Eva’s face. “SLAAAPPPP!!!” The weak and feeble girl fell down on the floor and tears dropped down from her eyes at a rapid pace. Her lip was swollen and a sting on her cheek made her anger reach to the pinnacle. “One day, I will get what I deserve.” She turned to look at Diana who sneered and closed the door behind her. “One hour and come down. You dare utter a word about me and I shall have you thrown far away in the dungeon and tell the world that you have gone for your higher studies. And you know , I can pretty much do that.” Diana shouted loudly while closing the door. Eva sighed and got up from the floor, wiping away the blood from her lips. She then with a heavy heart, walked inside the tiny attached bathroom and stripped off her clothes revealing her slender and pale body. She was a beautiful 22 year old girl, but highly naive. Her father had not just papered her a lot but had also encouraged her interest in studying and painting. “I miss you papa.” She let the cold water droplets fall on her bare body, as she quickly started to rub the extra soap. In another two minutes the girl had already draped a towel around her body and was looking at her reflection in mirror. A week and pale girl with long beautiful golden locks with a beautiful body was standing. She was perhaps the most beautiful girl, even without a hint of makeup, unlike the other princesses of royal kingdoms, who dressed there best, had plenty of makeup and worried too much about there makeup. The royal princess’s were only trained to woo a royal prince, marry her and bear her kids. But, Eva was different. She wanted to paint and study literature and did not want to marry.The girl had dried her hair, when there was another knock at the door. Eva quickly opened the door and smiled looking at Samantha. Samantha was the only staff member, who was originally her birth mother’s maid. She not only loved Eva, but also secretly supported Eva and made sure she is fed well.
“Good morning princess. I have brought you breakfast, a few books and also today’s newspaper.” The lady dressed in white knee length skirt and hair tied in s bun.“The newspaper? Something interesting besides queens coronation and guest list?” Eva frowned holding the newspaper and gasped looking at the headlines. There was a picture of Rick and Troy getting all cozy outside a bar with two girls dressed in skimpy clothing."What is this? I... I thought he loved me Samantha." A tear dropped down from her eye as she kept gazing at the picture of the boy she had loved with all her heart.
"I know princess, you do love him. But, what about him? Does he even love you? Love is never that easy my dear." The middle aged lady patted Eva's head, wiping away her tears. "At times you have to find your true love and times you have to win it."
"Will he be here at the coronation ceremoney today?" Eva's eyes blinked as she looked at Samantha in much hope.
"Yes. But I believe your priority should be the kingdom right now. Queen has raised the service tax already and if she gets her free will, the country will be doomed and people will come on roads to opppose the royal family. Only you can save our heritage my dear. Love can wait." Samantha held Eva's hand with determination, looking on her teary eyes.
“This... this cannot be true.” Teats dropped down from the feeble looking girl’s eyes as she saw her ex fiancé, holding a blonde girl cosily in his arms and almost locking his lips with hers. “He... he is not like that. He definitely misguided by his friend Troy.” Eva crumbled the paper in her hand as more and more tears dropped down from her eyes. “I am sure he is the one who brainwashed my love. I know Rick is too innocent.”She sat down on the bed, throwing away the gown handed over to her for the coronation ceremony. “I give up. I give it all up. I don’t want to be a part of this royal world. Let her have the power and crown. I shall run away from here, as far as possible.” She wiped away her tears, as she could a stabbing pain in her stomach. The sight of Rick snuggling with another girl had yet again broken her heart into million parts.“KNOCK KNOCK”Eva turned to look at the door as more tear drops travelled down her cheeks. “Co
Meanwhile....Inside Troy's office..."Ohhh! Ohh! Boss! Faster! Faster! Yes!" The girl's loud moans, filled with pleasure echoed in the entire room. The room was actually the man's luxurious office, and currently the office table was used as the bed.A beautiful blonde girl was kneeling on the gigantic wooden table, while her olive colored dress was pulled up entirely, upto her face.Her tiny stringed panty was clinging to her heels, while her curvy hips were exposed towards him. Her breasts were touching the surface of the table, and the tall man had inserted his hardness inside her. Her screams were reaching in all corners of the room, as the man moved inside her rapidly.His strong muscular hands had clutched her waist tightly, and he was panting heavily as he moved his hips to and fro. He was dressed in an expensive black colored formal suit, looking extremely dapper. Only his zip of the pants was open, revealing his long hardness. He
Troy smirked looking at the beautiful lady from head to toe, who was already busy admiring her looks. " What would you like to have ma'am? Tea, coffee or something hotter?" Troy smirked as his gaze fell upon the lady's pumped up breasts, ready to burst out from her attire.The red head lady who was busy admiring Troy's looks, blinked several times as if coming out from a trance. "No, thank you sir. We are in a hurry. Shall we start the interview?" She sat down fixing her hair, smiling at Troy pleasantly."Sure. You can check me out as much as you want... oh... I meant... you can ask me as many questions as you want." Troy winked looking at the lady notoriousely, making her blush instantly."Hehe.. your flirting skills are so good. But right now, I am just here for the interview and also we would like a quick photoshoot." The lady took out a recorder from her bag, along with a white apple tablet, placing it down on the table in front of her. She quick
"Hello... hello?" Troy blinked several times in utter confusion as he heard the click sound of the line being cut. "She cut the call already?" He frowned looking at the phone's screen, which had his picture as a wallpaper. This was an year old picture of him standing topless for the playboy magazine."Now what the hell is wrong with her?" Troy frowned and then walked out of the office instantly, wiping away the sweat from his forehead. The only person Troy was afraid of was his grandmother, Mrs. Herarld Dawson, his only living family. Troy was closest to her grandmother ever since he was born and perhaps that is why she was the only person who could control the untammed tiger.Troy walked out of the luxurious building, walking straight towards the exit door. "Bring the car. Right now!" He looked at the middled aged guard standing next to the door, dressed in a uniform, who nodded his head and rushed towards the parking area of the gigantic building. In anot
"Marry?" Troy looked at the old lady's crying face. Her cheeks were flushed and she had clutched her hands together very tightly, as if in deep distress. "I... I ... don't feel too well. Call the family doctor... I..." The lady suddenly clutched her chest muscles and frowned as if in deep pain. "What?? Grandma!??" Troy stood up on her feet holding the lady's hand, while he instantly pressed the tiny intercom lying on top of the fireplace. "Yes ma'am?" A lady's voice errupted instantly and Troy screamed at the top of his voice. "Doctor! Something is wrong with grandma. She is in pain. Come fast to her room." Troy tightly held the old lady and looked at her pale face. Suddenly her flushed cheeks had gone pale and she had closed her eyes while her lips were parted slightly. "What is happening grandma? Don't worry the doctor is coming." Tears dropped down from Troy's eyes as he looked at his unresponsive grandm
"What? Right now? You need to rest grandma, we can do this later too." Troy held the old lady's shoulders trying to make her lie down again. His heart was pumping rapidly, as the mere thought of marrying an ugly girl like Eva, wanted to make him throw up."No, it cannot wait. Take me there, if you care about my health even a bit... cough... cough..." The old lady looked at him with pleading eyes and Troy let out a loud sigh."Fine. I shall tell the staff to get the wheelchair." Troy wiped the sweat from his forehead. His life was about to take a sudden upside down twist and he had a very bad feeling about it. "I hope she refuses to marry me. She is now my only hope."One hour later......Inside the palace, the royal family consisting of Diana and Eva were standing at the entrance of a gigantic hallway, were greeting the guests happily. Eva was ratger sulking and was dressed in a black dress as if attending somebody's funeral. Diana was
"Oh dear! Thank you! Finally, I see some ray of hope for our royal palace. I shall go and tell Mrs. Herarld instantly. She is eagerly waiting for your reply." Freda kissed Eva rapidly on her cheek and rushed towards the corner of the room, where Troy was standing alongside his grandmother.Eva let out a deep sigh and turned to look a giant painting of her parents, which was once gifted to royal palace by a Turkish king. "I don't know, what I am doing but all I know is that I have to win back the royal palace, the company and also Rick. There is no stepping back now." Eva murmered softly, and a tear dropped down from her eye. She hated Troy and had always dreamt of marrying Rick. "Of course, he doesnt live me but is marrying me under pressure. I shall make sure I marry him under my terms and conditions."Meanwhile.....Freda rushed towards the two of them, in much excitement. Troy was pretty sure that Freda had come to reject the proposa
Troy hesitated for several seconds and looked at Eva in confusion. He did not know, if he could confide in with her."It is alright. I am equally unhappy about marrying you. You can tell me whatever has happened with you. We are in this together." Eva shrugged her shoulders casually and pouted her lips.Troy looked at her for a few seconds and let out a deep sigh. "It is my grandma. She wants to see me married and she has had several panic attacks due to my deeds. But, what do I do? I don't want to get married and let go off my freedom. I love my life and I don't even believe in this marraige institution in first place. But, I am scared that if I disagree to her, she will have a heart attack." Troy spoke in one breath and let out a deep breath."I see. I had already guessed it, looking at your grandmother. I empathize with you. Marrying somebody you hate is the worst nightmare and breaking up with somebody you love is worse." Eva looked at Troy in much disgust.
