Leoric sat me down and discussed his plan of getting I and Lustrow divorce and it sounded very awesome. The way he was speaking superbly with respect and love, made me feel too relaxed that I forgot I had to be in the room before Lustrow returned. One part of me was telling me to leave while the other part was telling me to stay and spend some more time with Leoric. That must be the evil side, the one which wanted me punished. I hurried up, dropping Leoric's hand. What if dinner had ended? Lustrow would work for me and later find out it was there. "I will take your leave now, we can meet later." I sent him a smile to assure him while he still clung on to my arm. "When will you come again?" He asked me, looking at me calculatingly. "I always feel happy when you are around me, please don't let me stay sad for long. I want to be happy happy always." I could see the sadness and loneliness in his eyes, it was almost as if he was lonely in the house. He and his younger brother
Secretly, I made it towards my room and I was certain Lustrow wouldn't be there. My dress was ragged and stained by some substances I wasn't aware of. I avoided everyone on my way by covering my self with a veil so they wouldn't see my dress and follow by multiple, questions that I knew I would not be able to answer. Hastily, I quickened my steps, I was tired and I needed to rest. My body was still tickling due to the effect of contact with the cockroach. "My lady?"Oh lord! I chanted. Someone had noticed me but I decided to pretend it was not me and continue to move until she began to follow me. "Hey who are you? Wait! Why are you covering your face?" She ran after me and pulled down my veil, revealing everything. I stood still with my head hung down. "My lady? What!?" It was Astrid, my personal maid. I used a palm to cover her mouth to stop her from speaking loudly and I guessed she understood. She grasped my arm and took me to the room. "My lady, what's all this?"
Lunar Dessa and I paced forth and back in the hospital reception expecting the doctor to come out of the ward and give us any news about Lustrow. Whatever happened to Lustrow was not known to anybody. He was fine when he came out of his private room, he didn't look weak or pale so what happened? It couldn't be because he saw me because I wasn't a ghost and he didn't look frightened before zonking out. Lunnar Dessa was worried, she kept on asking me how it happened, a question I had no answer for. If I told her that I had gone to meet him in his private room, she could hold me responsible for Lustrow's currentll condition, so I remained quiet. After waiting for hours, sitting and standing everytime we heard the creaks of the door thinking it was the doctor, the doctor eventually come out and came to us. "Your son is safe now." He told the lunar. "Thank you so much doctor, can we meet him now?" There was a tremor of impatience in the Luna's voice as she spoke. "No! You c
"Who are you?" I asked the maid who was arranging the room, who made it look very beautiful. It smelled so fresh, like beautiful flowers. I could also perceive the aroma of ginger tea combined with something else I couldn't tell, but it smelled delicious. "I am your new maid my lady. My name is Karla." She said curtsying. "Where is Astrid?" I asked her. Astrid was a very nice maid. She was an intelligent nice girl whom I liked and trusted so much. I didn't want a new maid because no one would never be like Astrid. She was the only one who could understand my pain and me myself, she gave me what I wanted. She even laid her lives for me, with her help, I was able to communicate with Leoric even without seeing him. She would deliver my better to him and delivered his message to me. She was a rare gem to me that I would never want to lose. "She has been transferred to the elder Luna's quarter." The maid said and I knew taht was all. I couldn't place the order of her retu
"Can you now tell me who you are?" I asked Karla after locking the door behind her. She had come to help me with some chores, so I used the advantage of that to lock her up, removing the keys. Whenever I asked her who she was, she had always found a way to avoid it but not today, I had held her captive and she must tell me. "I am not intending to hide who I am from you, not at all." She smirked, tossing the bedspread on the bed. "Nor will I blackmail you, I am not here to trouble you, I am here on my own mission, okay?" She said and continued with her chores. "Your mission? What mission?" "I am here to punish someone, maybe you should view me as a spy, an assassin or a manslayer." She said, her gaze still indifferent. "What!? An assassin?" I was confused. I had heard different cases of murder and assassination but I never experience one. Moreover, most of them accomplish their mission hiding their identity because they would be killed if found. If she reall
Being Lustrow's wife was very hard for me as he continued to treat me like a slave and treated me very bad. His parents were trying their best to treat me as a daughter in law, but they were too dumb to notice how their son treated me even on their presence. What could I do? I took everything with a pinch of salt and went on with life. He hit me, insulted me, harass me and usually did that in front of the maids. He always tried to prove that I was nothing higher than the maids in status but I never gave him a chance to ridicule me to that level. I knew who I was, I wasn't Kevyra but Silene, the only child of Alpha Phenrix. This was an experience that would never had occurred if he was alive. My father was a disciplinarian, even if Lustrow was my mate and my husband, behaving so arrogantly and non chalantly, my father would have made him know the difference between world and life. There was a day I voiced out, but I ended up in tears and I was happy I said what I h
"What is going on over there? Why is there so much people gathered up? Did something happen?" I asked, still stretching neck if I would be able to see what they were all busy watching. "I don't think Alpha Lustrow will be happy to see you here, please go back to the mansion." She took my arm. "No! Why would you say that? I need to know what is going on." I yanked her hands away from me and pushed her back. "My lady.... It's okay, I will tell you." She held me back. "Well... it's a maid my lady... We found her lifeless body laying there this morning. According to the investigation carried out. She fell from the terrace, but we don't know if it is murder, suicide or accident." She explained to me as fast as her mouth could send out each words she made use of, pleading me to return to my room without giving a reason, but right then, I could not understand anything anymore. I was scared upon hearing the news, then my mind drifted to Karla. She was an assassin
Karla's death was really shocking for me, it baffled me. She was here to kill someone but she got killed and that was were the confusion set in. It had been a week since the incident happened but it was like I couldn't forget about her in a moment. She was so nice and intelligent. I was already planning to stop her evil plan and I had started to make a move but her sudden death broke my heart. There were some questions I still wanted to get answered, my mind was mess as I tried hard to unravel the mystery behind her death. Lustrow made everyone believe that I could be the one who killed her because I didn't like her as my maid but because I couldn't complain about it, I decided to kill her. He wasn't planning to get me jailed, was he? No one knew yet if it was murder or accident, but most believed that it was murder. While trying to put the pieces together, I heard knocks on my door and a recognisable scent rented the air. It wasn't it a maid to have a special scent, so
