She hummed to an unending song as she moved around the room. Surprisingly, she woke up on the right side of the bed. With no idea of what made her so calm and relieved she began her little duties she had to do. In a few minutes she knew Nalia would be here to take her to the woman she talked about.A few minutes later, just when she was done with all the work, Nalia arrived. "You ready?""Yeah, sure." Eleanor replied, rubbing her palm on her skirt.“You look quite happy.” Nalia commented, with brows raised in surprise. “I mean you’ve been quite the opposite these days. Sorry to say though.”“It’s fine. Honestly I have no idea why I am, but there’s no need to be worried. It’s not a bad thing huh.” As far as she knows, being mysteriously happy should be a sign that good things might happen.“Okay let’s go.” Nalia says, shrugging her shoulders. “It’s quite a long work to Kyla’s place, so we better hurry.”“Bye sophia!” Eleanor yelled, hoping she hears her from her room.“Bye Ladies, be c
“Surprised?” Sabrina burst out laughing out loud hysterically. “Oh my god, I never imagined how the look on your face would be, but trust it definitely worth it, and I'll do this over and over again just to see this look again.” Ariel shook her head in disbelief as she burst out laughing again.“Elliot, what is this?” He never thought he could ever do something like this. Hell! They were brothers and this is definitely the most shocking thing that has ever happened to him.“It is what it is Axel.” Elliot answered with an evil smirk on his face. “Oh, I forgot you might be so dumb to realise all that is going, so I’m going to spare a littlle of my time and do the explanation.”He nodded at one of the attackers, or rather his secret soldiers and he left immediately, returning with two chairs which Elliot and Sabrina sat on respectively. “Okay, here we go. Storytime.” Elliot rubbed his palm together, faking enthusiasm. “First of all Axel, I’d love to say you have been so stupid and really
“What idea?” Eleanor asked curiously, moving closer to her.“Well..” She scratched her head nervously before speaking. “Well, you can speak to our king, maybe he might give out some soldiers to you.” Nikolai and Luciano stared at each other as if deliberating if that was a good plan. “He might refuse you know? Not everyone wants a problem with Cordenia.” Luciano spoke, knowing well that most of the kingdoms avoided troubles with them, ever since what they did to Narva. Now Daekhram is one small village with very little number of people, that would definitely be the last thing they’ll want to do.“You can try and see what he says.” Eleanor said, trying to encourage. “Sure. Let’s see what happens then.” *“How'd it go?” They all stood up when the door opened and both brothers stepped in. “How did it go?” Eleanor held so much hope in her eyes as she asked.“Well, nothing. He refused.” She breathed out a small sigh, feeling quite hopeless again. “So what do we do now?” She wrapped he
Eleanor was shocked to the bones, as this was the most unusual thing ever. Nevertheless, she wrapped her hands around her, accepting the hug. “I know I would definitely look like a coward, but I’m sorry.” Ariel said after disengaging from the hug.“Ermm… I..” They all turned to the door when they had noises, a loud voice yelling. “Let go of me!! You bitch!” Gwen could be seen; effortlessly dragging Sabrina into the room then throwing her to the floor.”She stopped yelling and looked around the room, seeing all eyes on her. “Luciano, no, no.” Eleanor rushed to him, holding him back when he rushed to Sabrina, with rage in his eyes. “Let her be.” Thankfully, he stopped struggling against her, he looked around the room last time before storming out.“Nikolai?” Ariel called, finally noticing him at the corner of the room. He raised his hand, motioning her to stop as she walked towards him. Then with the help of a guard, he left the room, Gwen also rushing to follow him.“Where are you now?
*STOCKEM*"Oh dear Sabrina." Sabrina looked up from the ground when her door opened and her sisters stepped in. She rolled her eyes, taking her gaze to the window."Oh my god, she looks so sad." Zara said with fake sympathy."Sabrina, you have no idea how much we missed you." Annika spoke, coming to stand before her bed. "Tell me, what was the wedding with the prince like? Was it how you dream?" She asked, faking an innocent smile. "Or where you were kicked out?""Just leave." Sabrina pointed her hand to the door, heaving out an exasperated sigh."Leave? But we just came here." Zara said, pouting her lips. "I'm not in for this, just leave!" She yelled unexpectedly."Ooh, I forgot you're a tigress." Annika said and burst out laughing, Zara joining her immediately. "Oh poor Sabrina, just see the look on your face. It must've been so hard. So hard realising your plan failed woefully, you failed." Zara scoffed before speaking. "You left here with so much pride, but look at you now? No w
*Eight years later*"Mother, I have it all ready!! Take a look!" I looked to the door to see Alex, my four years old son, trying to pull a big bag into my room."Alex seriously?" I chuckled and walked to him, collecting the bag from him. "This is way bigger than you, you should've left it for me." I patted his head, leaning down to plant a kiss on his hair."But I'm so powerful and strong!" He raised his hands up, clenching his fists tightly. "Father said so.""Yes, you're so strong but this is way bigger than you." I still replied nonetheless. "Where is your sister?" I asked, trying to stop him from starting an argument again."Erm, I..I think I left her in the room." He placed his hands under jaw, pretending to be thinking about something. "Alex." I folded my arms, raising my brows at him. "How many times do I have to tell you to watch over your sister?""Ermm, I don't know. How am I supposed to remember how many times but I can guess twenty seven, yes!" He raised his small fingers
Pain. Excruciating pain ran throughout her body as the whip landed on her back for the umpteenth time. Tears mixed with tears ran down her face to the ground, wetting it lightly. Yet, she relentlessly raised the hoe, digging it into the ground to get rid of weeds. It's all slavery. When agony becomes a very part of your life that's what she calls slavery. Working relentlessly, paying for crimes they know nothing about. Striving hard to survive. Striving hard to survive a tormenting phase of life. Yet, they've been going round and round in this tunnel and haven't seen even a glimpse of light. She's the most courageous. She fears nobody. She was brave. But then she's subjected to slavery, where she has no powe
*Few weeks earlier* *Eleanor's POV* "Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor!" I heard my mother's voice yelling my name from the front yard. "Mother, I'm right here," I replied. My mother emerges from the front yard to the back yard where I'm sitting right now. "Where are you?" "Up, up here mother." She looks up to find me sitting on a tree in the back of our house. "Oh dear gods, Eleanor, I've told you times without numbers to never climb a tree, you're a lady." *Oh god not today* "Mother come on, you know I really love it," I said with a smile plastered on my face. "Down." mother warned with her signatory frown on her face. *Not again* "Mother," I tried protesting. "Down!
