Nolan's eyes opened to the sun rays penetrating through the curtains. He squinted his eyes at the light and raised his arms above his head to stretch a little. His hair was still arranged, and his face had no wrinkles. was as if he didn't sleep at all. He was still in a laid state, his head still on his pillow when he heard a knock on the door. Just two times.Scorpion strolled in. His hands were behind his back and he was in a black tux- this was his professional uniform. Immediately, he walked to the curtains and opened them wide. He turned around to take his position and wake up his Royal Majesty the only way he knew how to but paused when he saw his dark eyes open. It was at that moment he realized that he was late."Good morning, your Grace". He managed, covering up the shock.Nolan did not respond. He didn't even say anything, he just sat up, pulled up his covers, took his legs down, and slid them into his extremely soft slippers as he stood up and strolled into his bathroom, mo
Nolan stepped out of the bathroom, wrapping a robe around his body while he walked out. He still looked as hot as hell with slightly wet hair and the most dangerous look printed on his face. His skin shone brightly underneath the chandelier that was just above him and his eyes were even dimmer under the light.He took slow strides into his closet and his special maids had already taken their places in the room. They were twelve in total and each of them had a special duty they carry out. The first maid was in charge of his hair. Her clothes were pure white, and her hands were covered with pure white gloves also. The second maid was in charge of his face. She also wore pure white clothes and just like the first maid, her hands were also in pure white gloves. The third and fourth maids were in charge of his skin and massages. The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth maids were in charge of his clothes. They decide whatever he wears and work together with the royal designers. The ninth and
His palm covered her wrist, and before she knew what was happening, her body started to move toward the direction of the door. it was like a split in time. He pulled her.All eyes widened at the scene before them and Kathryn's lips lifted. Sasha was right all along.There were slight murmurs and whispers in the air. Lincoln was still finding it hard to believe what was happening. He kept looking in the direction of the doors with his hands crossed back, he maintained his posture.Scorpion, on the other hand, prayed in all he believed in as nervous sweat beans surfaced on his forehead slowly. This was happening way too fast.What is he going to do if he got caught in the middle? He will be dead for sure, that is a fact, Nolan will kill him. He was too engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear when Kathryn asked him a question, he only realized that she was speaking to him when she was already halfway through the speech."... love each other so much".Wait, was she talking to me?
Sasha finished taking her bath prepared for her and threw on her clothes which were also already arranged for her. She had the most amazing night of her life and had a big smile on her face. This was the most excitement she had ever felt in a long time and Carolyn was the cause of it.The previous night when she talked about her to the queen and they had one of the deepest conversations they've had in a while, she only thought of how much time she was going to hang out with her and how they were going to be the best of friends that talk basically about everything.She had always wanted to know more about Nolan's life – his love life. and now, Carolyn is the gateway.She still maintained her smile when she stepped out of her chamber and started into the hallway. She didn't even care about meeting with the queen yet, she just wanted to have breakfast before she goes back to her normal duties.Her steps were not hurried, they were far from fast – they were gentle. She was out of the firs
Lavender.The smell of lavender and vanilla filled the air, mixed with the fresh smell of freshly plugged roses and warmth. The softness of the sheets she laid on gave her a certain kind of feeling of peace.Is this heaven?Am I dead?She had never felt this kind of peace in her entire life and the only rationale she could think of was that she died in the presence of the hottest man she had seen in her life. No wonder it is called paradise.Her lips lifted to a warm smile as she gently opened her eyes only to meet with the darkest shade of black she had ever seen. He stared back at her and took her breath all over again.Holy shit!Did he die too?How come he is here?"She's awake".Another voice call her attention to the left, making her realize that they weren't the only ones in the room. She recognized the voice and traced her eyes to where it came from.Sasha?"Dear, you gave us a big scare". She took her eyes to the edge of the bed only to find The queen. Immediately, she sat u
His deep voice called from behind, making Kathryn turn her head to look at him. A slight smile formed on her lips as she nodded. "I'll leave you now, dear, your maidens would send breakfast over". Kathryn directed at Caro with a warm smile and stood up softly and began moving in the direction of the doors. She suddenly stopped in front of him, with a warm smile." Take good care of her". She mouthed and patted his shoulders gently before she started to move again. Her maids rushed behind her until the doors were closed shut.The room was now deserted leaving just the heartless ruler and the naive girl. His steps toward the bed were not rushed, they were calm and prideful. And the aura he possessed at that moment was similar to a burning furnace. He was already roasting her with his direct stares.Who will save her from this?Caro's eyes flew open with every step he took as she clenched even harder to the sheets. The color of her skin was the same as a cherry. He approached the bed but
The golden doors fled open revealing the Ruler of the East. He strolled into his study with a frown on his face and walked straight to the large seat behind the table. The woman he was with a couple of minutes ago had him questioning so many things he wasn't sure of. Ever since Kyla, no woman had been able to go close to him. He had a trauma of it and never lets anyone close, but there was something different about her. She pissed him to the point where he didn't even know when he touched her. He touched her and nothing happened to him.He had gone through so many therapies just for this for four years and yet, this woman comes and proves everything wrong. This scared him and angered him all at once. He shouldn't be feeling this way, he shouldn't be worried, he should be happy instead, but something was not right. He needed to know who she was and why she doesn't affect him."Clayton," he called the Royal guard by the corner and he stepped forward. "Yes, your grace"."Get me, Scott"
Serenity sat on the table very calmly. She was present, but her focus was on something else. Sasha on the other hand sipped her tea calmly. She wasn't being her usual chatty self after the incident with Carolyn earlier. The fact that Nolan was so affected by it had her wondering about the kind of feelings he had for her and when it all started.She had never seen him like that before and had never seen him care for anyone the way he did Carolyn. Somehow she is the person that had managed to pull him out of his darkest days.But that wasn't what got her so quiet. Why did he suddenly order for Scott in that manner? What is going on and why does she always have this feeling that Scott is being secretive toward her? Maybe she is overthinking things or maybe it's just normal considering the number of years they were apart but still, he acts differently from before.Her hands were on her teaspoon as she continued to stir the air instead of the tea in the cup. Unaware of her actions, the tea
