From the roof, I could see everything. Everything seemed tiny and irrelevant, but not to Demian. Demian had a keen eye and he paid attention to everything. He knew every nook and corner of this place.

We did not talk for a very long time. But the silence was not uncomfortable. Not in the least.

“You know, sometimes I wonder if this is a test. A game.”

Demian tilted his head and raised his brow at me.

I chuckled. “I might be acting stupid. Well, what I mean is, what if all of this, all of what we are doing, what we are perceiving as our life, is just a game of some sorts? What if we are all just players? What if this is not real?”

“If so, then, there needs to be someone who made the game. There is always an inventor of a game. Who is that inventor? God?” Demian asked.

“I don’t believe in God. I think, rather than a game, I sometimes wonder if this is all a dream actually,” I said. “And when I wake up, I will be momentarily confused. I will mourn the man I married without remembering hi

    “Has the miscarriage caused something?” Alexander asked. “Will it take time for her to get pregnant?”“It must have caused something,” Demian said.“That’s why I am telling you, Demian, to marry again,” Alexander said. “At least, you would have a child soon then. Do you have anyone in mind?”I remained quiet. It was painful to hear such things. It was not like I cared much about what Alexander said. Even so, it hurt to hear that he wanted Demian to marry another woman.“I have a wife, Father. I do not want to marry again,” Demian answered calmly.“Why not? More pleasure for you.”“I will not do it,” Demian said, a little sternly.“If she does not get pregnant within the next two months, you are getting married again, whether you want to or not,” Alexander said. His tone suggested that it was not up for an argument.Demian did not say anything. It was not smart to argue with Alexander since it might backfire. But I still wished Demian would talk back.‘Stupid. Don’t be stupid just for t

    Perhaps I should have done many things differently in my life. I regret a few things, but not many. I might not even be a decent human being.If there was a heaven, would I be able to go there? Or, would I go to hell?Perhaps it was good that I did not believe in such things. I did not have to worry constantly about doing things in a certain way to please God.“Do you also think I lied? Demian and I both?” I asked.Rosalia looked up at me with tired eyes. I pitied her. She seemed lost both her son and daughter within a very short amount of time.“It doesn’t matter,” Rosalia said. “It will change nothing,” she said in her timid soft voice.I wondered if she could sing. In House Star, it was mandatory for women to learn how to sing, play musical instruments and learn how to dance. Well, I never paid much attention to those lessons and went off to the academy before my father could force me to learn them all. In my opinion, those things should be learned only if someone was interested in

    I went to Theodore the very same day I went to Rosalia. In fact, I went to Theodore right after. Time was very precious. I did not want to waste any.I knocked on Theodore’s door. I heard the shuffling of clothes, then the sound of the cane. He opened the door. Looking at his face, it was obvious that he had not expected it to be me.“Is it a bad time?” I asked.“No… No, it’s okay. I was just… lying down,” Theodore said nervously. He seemed a little awkward around me.“I thought we could have some tea. Perhaps in a living room,” I said. “Of course, if you want to. I don’t want to force you.”“No, I do. I do want to,” he said. “I just thought…”“What?”“That you would avoid me after…”“Why would I do that? You had been honest with me. I like honesty,” I said and gave him a smile. “Well then, get dressed. We can discuss a book or something.”“Yes, sure. You can wait for me there,” he said. “I will be quick.”“Of course. Let us choose the sun room. That is nice,” I said.“Yes, certainly.

    I spent a long time with Theodore. We talked a lot about books while I also said a few things about my story that I wanted him to believe.It should work. Theodore said that he never liked Rose that much.“She always… acted like she knew something about you and that she knew all your secrets. She always looked at me like that. It made me uncomfortable. When she left, I was relieved.”“But you were not surprised that she left?” I had asked.“Of course not. That woman can do anything. She will betray her own family if she wants to, which is exactly what she did,” Theodore had said with a scoff.When I left the sun room, I knew I succeeded. I returned to my chamber and lay down. I was feeling relaxed and I wanted to sleep for a while. Perhaps I would sleep till Demian came back.I hugged a pillow. I missed him. It was strange how much I missed him. It was not just a little bit. I missed him a lot even though I had seen him just last night. I missed him like he was the air that I breathed

    I found Demian in the bathroom. I entered as silently as possible, but he noticed me right away. His eyes were closed as he relaxed into the bath. He simply spoke to me without opening his eyes.“You were sleeping like you did hard labor the whole day,” he said.“Are you mocking me?” I asked. We both knew that I did nothing but read, relax, eat and sleep all day. “Is it because you work harder than me?”He chuckled. “Join me.”“No. I haven’t eaten anything for a while. If we… do anything intimate, I will get sick,” I said.“You can just take a bath with me. That’s all.”“No,” I said again. I sat down on a stool beside the tub. “I want to tell you something.”He opened his eyes and looked at me. His eyes were unnerving. They were cold and merciless… yet, I found them caring towards me.“Did you do something?” he asked.“You can say that from my face?”“I think I can read you a lot better now,” he said.“Well, I did do something.” And I told him about everything. Demian listened attenti

    I told Sully that I trusted her. But something about her always made me doubt everything she said.She could manipulate people easily. She could manipulate anyone. And I did not want to be manipulated. That was why there was always a doubt inside my head as to if she was lying to me.But then again, when she said she loved me, I believed her. I had not detected a lie in that. When I told her I loved her, I had not lied either.Could I try to trust her then? Besides, she was doing all of this for a reason.Father and I were in his office. Father was sitting on his huge majestic dark chair, a cigar dangling from his mouth. Father smoked a lot. He did not have a specific time for smoking. He smoked whenever he felt like.“I trusted Rose. I thought she was the perfect daughter. She had brilliant ideas,” Alexander said. “Now, it seems she was always a two-faced bitch like all those Stars.”Sully’s plan was brilliant. It would work. Well, it should work since everything was going perfectly.

    The plan went smoothly actually. Today was the day Rosalia, Theodore and I were supposed to have tea together. When I found out they both were in the sun room, I sent a maid with a note saying that I fell and hurt my back so much that I needed to lie down and take pain medication.Demian confirmed me that the plan went well. I felt so proud that my heart could burst out of my chest at any moment.And then, Demian said something that did not feel so pleasant.“We are going on a little vacation,” he said. I did not like the tone of it. Something about it felt like a trap.“You and me?” I asked.“Yes, but not entirely. Basically, it will be you locked up in a remote villa for the sake of your safety,” Demian said.“Ah, yes, the classic ‘princess locked up by the bad man’.”“I am the bad man now?”“Honey, you have always been the bad man. Your kind of people don’t become those gentle and brave prince who saves the damsel in distress princess.”“I see,” Demian said, crossing his arms over

    Father would not annul the marriage with Mother. Mother refused to see Father and talk to him. Her father had come to take her a few days ago. Now, they were making their way to Yelenad. Lord Helian was angry at Father. When he came here, he badmouthed Father and was very mad about how Father acted towards both his wife and daughter.I promised that I would leave a few days later. I needed to talk to the Head Priest first.Jace and I were in the villa where Mother had been staying. I went to the temple some days. But most of the time, I spent here at the villa.Jace never once returned to our estate. He did not want to face Father or Rose.“How do you think Sully is?” Jace asked.“You would know that better. You had been there before, not me,” I said. We were having our dinner on some simple things- bread, beef stew and wine. I never drank. Jace did, but only little.“I was in a cell in an underground prison. I could see exactly how Sully lived, but from what she said, I assumed they

    I was obsessed with Sully. I noticed everything about her. No matter where we were, my eyes always founds her and I could never help staring at her. I also liked everything about her. Something about the way she smiled, she talked, she laughed made me want her even more. I never knew it was possible to want someone this much until I married her.Now, I could not imagine living without her.I was always looking into the future. One of the things that I did every single day was predicting the future, imagining what would happen. In every single one of those imaginations, Sully was there with me, by my side. And she was happy. Her happiness mattered. Everything about her mattered.In the future that I imagined, I got what I wanted. Since childhood, I wanted a lot of things, but never got them. Sully could say proudly that she got what she always wanted, but I could not say the same; I wanted to though.At this moment, I wanted my wife to stay by my side forever. And I so desperately wish

    I was suspicious regarding Demian’s actions. He was acting very sweet to me as if nothing happened. I knew he was still angry about what I did, although he did not show it.Now, he said he would meet Rezef Thorn. Rezef sent Demian a letter via Leo and wanted to talk to him, not as enemies, but as normal men. And Demian agreed.“You will not hurt him, will you?” I asked Demian.“Why would I hurt him?” Demian asked, tilting his head to one side. He was not being serious; it was one of those rarest times. I did not know what to make of that. Would he truly not hurt Rezef or not?“Demian, please. Be serious,” I said.“I never thought I would hear someone say that to me.”“I never thought I would have to say this to you either. But here we are.”Demian started combing his hair.“Give me that,” I said, taking the comb from him. Demian sat on a stool and I started combing his hair. “I don’t understand what you are doing. First, you are being very nice to me.”“Is it wrong to be nice to my ow

    Leo had stayed with Rezef to make sure he was safe. Demian had put Rezef somewhere else while Leo and I were doing our work in the tent. We had to do our work a little quicker because of the fire.Kyle also died too quickly. He died before we could have our fun fully.I watched as Demian washed the blood of my body. He worked methodically. Now he was scrabbing my arm. His eyes were focused even though the task was a simple one.“Are you angry at me?” I asked.“I don’t like anyone defying me,” Demian said. “I don’t like when someone does the exact opposite thing of what I told them. I also don’t like it when my plan does not go properly.”“Plan?”“Everything is a plan. I determine everything beforehand. You being in that tower was a plan as well. I do not do anything without a plan,” he said. “You got my men killed.”“A few of them. It was inevitable, Demian. A war is going on,” I said. “But you also thought of this possibility, didn’t you?”His silver eyes met mine.Demian thought of

    Cutting off my brother’s penis had not been on my mind when I was little. But after what happened to Maxi, it was obvious that I had to do it.I looked down at my blood-stained dress. The room where Demian and I were staying was small, but clean. Cleanliness was first thing; the size did not matter.After Leo and I were done, Demian brought me here and I followed without a word of defiance. Why would I defy him? He had not stopped me from doing what I wanted to do. Well, he had chained me before. But when he found out I escaped, he actually aided me.“You have many things to answer for,” Demian said upon entering the room. He had went out to do something (I did not know what).“I know,” I murmured.I turned to face him. His arms were crossed over his chest. His hair was tied loosely on the behind.“You want to know how I managed to let Rezef know about where I was?” I asked.“If you know what I want to know, then tell me,” he said.“Well… You see, Rezef used to give me a lot of gifts

    I had been imagining this for so long. I had imagined doing so many things when I would meet Kyle again under the circumstances when I could finally take my revenge.Kyle was inside the tent, his men said. They stopped short when they noticed me. Well, they had not seen me in a while. A little surprise was bound to show on their faces.“Is anyone else inside?” I asked.“Yes. It is an alchemist. His name is…”“Leo,” I said. “I know him. Tell Kyle that I want to talk to him. The alchemist can stay though.”My brother’s personal guard bowed to me and went inside the tent. I knew that man. His name was Ezra Walsh. He had been my brother’s personal guard for the last five years. He was bald and tough looking with a scar on his right eye. I had the suspicion that he was blind in that eye, but never knew the truth.“What do you want to talk about with him?” Rezef asked.“Many things. Do you want to see?” I asked.“If you want me to.”“No, it depends on you. You can watch if you want to. But

    There were no ships here. Not a single one. I could not even take a carriage either. The roads were blocked.I was out of the estate of House Star, at least. Currently, I was staying at a brothel. I gave some money and some of my pieces of jewelry to the brothel owner and she gave me a place to stay.It was nasty here and I felt disgusted the whole time, but at least, it was safe. Not for long though. At some point, the brothel owner might want to sell me to his nasty customers. I needed to leave soon.I did not know what was going on with the war. I could not care less about that. What I hated about it was the fact that I could not stay at House Star anymore, if there remained a House Star after this in the first place.I hated everything and everyone now at this point. I did not deserve this. I did not deserve any of this.I did not want to born in that family where I had to do things that I did not want to do. I had to learn how to seduce people at a very young age. It was called t

    Sully escaped. Once again. I did not know exactly how she let Rezef Thorn know about her location, but she did do it somehow and that was without my knowledge.That woman was too cunning. She even fooled me.I was pretty sure she was going to use Rezef Thorn to get to Kyle.I had been gone for a long time because of a complication. I needed to defend the estate because part of Jade Star’s men somehow got inside the estate. It had been bloody.My left eye still hurt. There was a cut right under it. One of the men of House Star almost took my eye out.And now Sully was gone. This woman was driving me crazy in all the ways possible.She was now at the camp of Rezef Star. I could not just go there. It was hard to sneak in there. I could get as near as possible, but it would be hard to meet her there.I did not doubt Sully’s loyalty. It lay with me. She did not care about Rezef Thorn romantically. She was just using him to gain her objective.I just hated that she escaped from me again aft

    “How is Millie?” I asked.Rezef was mostly ignoring me at this point. Well, at least, he was pretending to.“She is okay.”“Treat her nicely, okay? She is a nice girl,” I said. “Do you know Father used to beat her?”Rezef’s face suggested that he had no idea of this incident. Millie did not tell him for sure. It was not like I expected Millie to tell him either. Millie had always acted like she did not deserve anything and kept her thoughts to herself all the time.Their marriage life was not going okay. I knew that from the look on his face. Millie and he were not okay. If they just ended their marriage, then it would be for the best. At least, both of them could find someone new. It would be hard for Millie, but she would get over it. There was no point in suffering when you could get rid of that suffering.Both of them were unhappy in that marriage, I could tell.“Whenever Father was angry, he would take it out on her. We… We always saw but never did anything. I regret it, but what

    My plan was simple. I always had the feeling that there was more to the little vacation than Demian let on. That was why- I started to leave trails behind. I kept the window open and threw purple pearls from the window. Demian did not notice because he had been busy trying to keep his legs from cramping and other times, he was massaging my feet.I had to be very cautious so he would not notice. Demian’s eyes were sharp. He noticed everything.That was why I had the feeling that this plan might not work.There were a lot of guessing involved. I was betting on Rezef’s feelings for me on this matter. He had to be the one to find the pearls because only he would recognize them. I had the belief that he was smart enough to know that I would not be at House Silverclaw.Rezef did not disappoint me.Now, I would have to explain everything to him, but that would have to wait for a bit.I told Rezef not to kill the guards that they took captive.We reached their camp on horses.
