The Heir's Bride Chapter 10
CHAPTER 10NEOLA*flashback*"Zia!" I pulled at my skirt. "Zia,"I remember my ten year old self struggling as the rain pour harder on me. "Where are you? Zia!" I opened the front door only to be pushed back on the porch steps."Idiota!" I raise my hands, trying to protect myself as I feel the pain slash through my arm, the belt slapping on my flesh. "You little vermin stole my money, si?" I covered my face to protect it from my uncle and his belt. "Zio. Zio Benny, Zio Benny, I didn't stole anything..." I cried out as he pulled at my hair. "Zio, please..." I sob, still trying to get away from him and his belt. "Mama mia! Benny, what are you doing?" Zia Alonza pushed my uncle and held me on her arms as they both fight again.I could still hear myself screaming at them to stop fighting. I tried to call for my papa and my brother but they did not come for my aid. They weren't always there to save me...*end of flashback*"Neola?" I stared at the spitting image of my mom, her brown hai

CHAPTER 11NEOLA'What? Oh my god, Neola!' I pulled the phone off my ear to avoid myself from going deaf. Geez, the woman can scream. "Yep. He already knows that I am Neola." I sat down on the couch near the window which overlooks the sea as we both talk. We are back in Normandy, France. The view was just breathtaking I almost forgot that I was talking to Elle.'Then what will happen now? Am I going to get murdered?'"No, of course! You silly. He doesn't know that--""Doesn't know what, exactly?" I turn around just in time to see his smirk turn into a full blown smile. "Lucas, didn't your mother taught you that eavesdropping is not good." I whisper shout at him as I cover the speaker on the phone. He just laugh at my worried face as Elle asked out loud, 'Am I hearing my brother laughing right now?' I didn't have the time to answer her as the phone was suddenly snatched from my hold. "Yes, you are." I just have to admit it to myself that no matter how I reject my feelings, it still

CHAPTER 12NEOLA"You know full well that Elle deserves explanation for the way you acted right? You left her again for the second time." I whisper shout at him as I held unto his waist, hanging on for dear life, not risking anyone to hear our conversation as we passed by the royal gates. He has to reconcile with his sister since she is the only family he have. Plus, he accepted the fact that he wanted to have her back.A couple of media men began swarming our ride and I pulled Luke's coat, trying not to fall as Midnight began kicking and whinnying like a horse. Oh, right. He's a horse. I was about to take a glance when a flash of camera blinded me for a second before I hear the wooden doors locked. Galloping further inside the grand hall, the trumpets where blown, signaling our arrival. There are so many guest: royalties dressed in extravagant clothing, princesses descending the carriage yet soon I found myself looking back at my brother, his eyes glinting with mirth as he held Ell
The Heir's Bride Chapter 13
CHAPTER 13 NEOLAIt has been three days since that eventful dinner. Me and Luke hasn't talked since. I am annoyed at him for not taking my side but I know that he was also irritated towards me for acting like a child. My head hurt so much from crying every night. I have gone to bed without even touching the dinner they sent me. I felt sad and lost. I am so alone in this. I just want to go out and escape. But I can't just leave Luke like that. Sulking like a spoiled child, I throw the pillow off the bed and stood. Clenching my jaw, I decided to do the thing that would help me cheer up: I jump on the bed. There are no springs to creak but the floor groan. I imagine Mia being the mattress and I jumped with much more than strength that I ever possessed before. I do not know why I have acted like that. Not to mention that the king and the queen was there. My manners have eluded me and the green monster, which is jealousy, accompany me instead. Collapsing down on the bed, I counted un

***CHAPTER 14 NEOLA I bolted up, my vision blurry. The ring coming from the alarm startled me. I took my robe and padded my way out the door. Knights are running to and fro. I was about to retreat back to my room when a knight stopped in front of me. His eyes held worry and determination as he took me by the arm. "Faster, we need to get you downstairs." We started to walk down. I could hardly see in front of me because of the thick smoke coming from the west wing. He tighten his hold on my arms and lead me towards the safe room where the other members of the royal family and guest are currently located. "Excuse moi, but what is your name?" I asked as he guided the way, " Edam, mademoiselle, Je suis Edam." He nods once again before he pulls at my arms and hurried me through a staircase. We descended down to the room and he push me towards the door. "They are already here. I will go up and see for other distress members." He gave me a nod before he closes the door in front of me. I
The Heir's Bride Chapter 15
CHAPTER 15 NEOLA When I said that my Ego was in pieces, I mean it. I am so embarrassed I couldn’t even look at Sebin as he opens the door for me. I scrambled up the stairs, clutching my sketch book tight. How stupid I am to hide under the bushes! I should’ve gotten inside before they saw me. Huffing, I remove my boots and lied down on the bed. I can feel my face and neck hot of embarrassment, my hands shaking. My sketchbook is sprawled next to me. I took it and sigh. The mountain was really majestic. It made me smile and forget what has happen. Sitting up, I walk towards my table and open the drawer. I took out my journal and sat before starting to cut the artwork I made. I secure it with some tape and, write, ‘Like the mountain that sat on the horizon, the wind grazes the grass and humbly lift my spirits’. I shook my head at how cheesy it sounds but I love how it seems vulnerable. It comforted me. The knock on my door made me stop short. I keep my journal inside the drawer

*CHAPTER 16NEOLAI attend to the needs of the small kitten under my care. I ask Gigi to prepare my night bath when a maid suddenly arrives to deliver a box. She timidly enters, biting her lip as she put the box on the table in front of me.Intrigued, I got up from my seat and took it, only to hear Gigi speak. "Miss, this is Carol. She will be the one in charge of making your dresses. That box contains the dress, I hope you will like it." I watch Gigi as she squeeze Carol's hand. I remove the ribbon and take off the lid of the box. There in front of me was a winter dress resembling a wedding gown. I ran my hands on it, surprise at how light it is compared to how it appeared. The little diamonds caught light as I took the dress out of the box. I went to the mirror beside the balcony and gasp. The dress is just so beautiful. I decided to try it on and Gigi help me with it. Carol gently assisted and the three of us work on how to tie and properly button the back side. It was perfect

CHAPTER 17LUKE"Grandpa, you can't do this" "Yes I can. I am king." He stubbornly says, his hands tightening on the arm of the chair. We made eye contact with each other. His nose is flaring as he glares at me. I sigh. "Yes, I know, Grandpa," resigned, I settled back on the chair, " I know you are king which is why I am trying to insist that you should consider." "Why should I consider? I do what I want because I can!" his voice raise as he glared at me. I bit the inside of my cheek and said, "But grandpa, if I cancel the engagement it will appear as though I am not serious. The people will doubt my credibility." "That is not true. They will trust whatever you do and support you. How can a broken engagement destroy your reign as king? They will forget about it once you marry Fleur, and that is final." "Grandpa please, give me a month. I am still not sure of my feelings. Do not rush me into this things, please..." I pleaded, my voice thickening with emotions. The king look at me
