How do you like Enzo's parents?
KEILAHI immediately pushed Enzo away when I heard the door open.“Mom?” Enzo exclaimed, making my eyes widen in surprise.Mom? Out of all the people that would catch us in such proximity, it’s his mom.“Oh, goodness. I must have interrupted something intimate,” she chuckled.I immediately bowed my head and apologized.“I’m deeply sorry, queen.”I thought she was going to reprimand me for even going near her son, but I was surprised when she suddenly held onto my shoulders and lifted my head up.“There’s no need to apologize, honey. My son is still single. He can do what he wants.”“Oh, we’re not together,” I explained. “Really?” she said, quite disappointed. “I was sure that something is going on between the two of you based on how close you were just now.”I blushed and shook my head. “I’m really sorry, ma’am. I didn’t mean to be so close to your son.”I heard his mom click his tongue. “Such a shame, then,” she said. “I already like you better than the original candidate.”Enzo chu
KEILAHI smiled excitedly as I heard the festive music coming from outside of the castle grounds. However, my smile quickly dropped when I suddenly felt someone hit me in the back of my head. I held onto my nape and turned around. "Stop daydreaming, blind bitch," Evelyn said, pushing me to the side."You're never going to be able to attend the festival even if you die," Sofia added, causing the two of them to chuckle."You're not so sure of that," I muttered under my breath, continuing to wipe the kitchen counters. I was hoping they wouldn't hear my side comment, but unfortunately, they did. Evelyn scoffed. "You're really getting brave these days, huh? You weren’t like this before.""She must be proud now that she's Alpha Enzo's servant. But she must know that he's going to forget about her in two days time—when he's finally going to marry Isabelle," Sofia chuckled. I continued wiping the counters, acting like her statement didn't affect me at all. Although, it probably did—much
KEILAHI was in the maid’s quarters, smiling to myself as I played with the ring on my finger.Marilyn sat down next to me and nudged my shoulder. “Who gave you that ring?” she asked in a teasing voice.I bit my lip and suppressed my smile. “No one,” I said, trying to keep my happiness to the minimum level.“I’m sure that it didn’t come from just no one. You’re treating it like it’s a natural treasure.”“It is,” I muttered under my breath. “It’s quite expensive, I believe. Of course, I’m going to keep it safe.” “Or maybe it just came from someone special,” she said in a sing-song voice, making me blush even harder.I shook my head and looked down at my lap.“Someone like...Alpha Enzo?” she said, causing me to lift my head. “H—he didn’t,” I stammered, giving out that I was bluffing.“Really?” she pried, causing me to let out a sigh of defeat.“Fine,” I muttered under my breath. “He gave it to me.”She squealed, but I quickly interrupted her.“We’re good friends, I think. He gave it
ENZO "Who are those for?" my mom asked as we walked back to the castle. The two of us were wearing caps since we didn't want to be recognized by others. However, my mom's voice was recognized by a passerby, so the two of us had to cut our trip short. "You already know," I muttered under my breath, smiling as I looked at the box of cream puffs I had bought for Keilah. She squealed in delight. "This still feels like such a dream. My boy finally has someone to love once again." I smiled. "And I can't wait for her to be officially mine." "Just one more day, Enzo," she said, patting my shoulder. "Just one more day." We arrived at the mansion, and the atmosphere seemed more solemn than usual. "Well, I'm gonna go freshen up. You go meet Keilah, then tell her to come to me so I could give her the present I bought." I nodded my head and excitedly went up to her room. I entered her room, but found no one there. Then, she must be in my room. However, she wasn't there too. Not even
ISABELLEI bit my lip as I looked at the ring I was currently wearing. It was the one that Keila supposedly "stole," and it was also the one that Enzo gave to her yesterday.You may be wondering how I could have possibly known. Well, it's simple. I was there. I saw the very moment when he bought a gold ring for Keilah. They weren't too smart with their disguise, so I could see them from a mile away. I'm not ignorant. I can feel what's going on between the two of them, and I don't like it one bit. So, when the king lost his ring, and Keilah conveniently had a very similar one, I decided to take my chance so she wouldn't be able to attend the engagement party. But now, that plan's ruined too. I've been acting kind all my life, thinking that it would be the way to get everything I want. And for the most part, it did. I'm loved. I'm famous. I'm the one they look up to the most. Heck, even Keilah has fallen victim to my act. But I guess acting kind isn't going to cut it this time aro
KEILAHI stopped breathing for a second. Lunette is my second name. Keilah Lunette Lockhart—not many people know about my full name. Only the royal family and my parents' close friends called me that when I was younger. "Lunette, right?" she repeated. Her hand hovered over my cloak, and I flinched, causing her to retract her hands. "Can I?" she softly asked. After much thought, I slowly nodded my head. Noelle had never given me any reason to distrust her, so my heart unconsciously opened up to her. She slowly lifted my cloak and let it fall down on my shoulders. She gasped softly as I felt her gaze on my face. "It is you," she muttered under her breath. "Faith and Jude's daughter." I took a sharp intake of breath. "You know my parents?" "Oh, honey," she exclaimed. "We were the best of friends. Mason and I were so happy to have such kind constituents living right next to our kingdom, and we had quite a good relationship when they were still alive. We met you a couple of times
ENZOI shook my hands in nervousness as I greeted the people that arrived at the venue. I don't think I've ever felt this nervous in my life, and it's all because of one person—Keilah. However, aside from being nervous, I was also excited about what was about to come. "This is such a nice party, Enzo," my uncle Simon said as he shook my hand. "And who's the lucky lady? Isabelle, isn't it?"I chuckled and shook my head. I guess a lot of people still expect Isabelle to be the one I'm going to marry. But I've already made up my mind. "Take a seat wherever you'd like," I said, diverting the topic. He merely nodded his head and went on his way. The venue was jam-packed with people since all of the constituents from the Belmont and Elixir kingdom were invited to come. My mom chose the perfect place to uphold this event. It's an open field located between the two kingdoms, making it accessible to everyone. My mom and dad finally arrived at the venue, and they were bombarded with greeti
ISABELLEI smirked to myself. Things are going according to plan. "Princess Isabelle," a person I didn't know went over to shake my hand. It was a commoner, and she had a pathetic smile on their face. I held in the urge to grimace as I looked at her filthy hands. I gently removed my hand away from her and took a step back. "Congratulations on the engagement party, princess," she said, despite looking confused as to why I wasn't shaking her hand. "I hope the marriage between you and Alpha Enzo can bring good things to us, commoners, too."I faked a smile and merely nodded my head. I didn't want to interact with such people. Besides, the marriage is for me, not for the commoners. The night progressed, and Keilah was still nowhere in sight. I looked toward Enzo and saw him still wandering his eyes around. Unfortunately for him, Keilah's not going to come. She adores me way too much to defy my words. I knew she wouldn't dare take away what was supposed to be mine. The time for the
