For the next few hours, Maya stayed in her room, rereading the contents of the letter over and over again. Such action only did well to increase the agony in her heart, causing her to grow pensive as time wore an on. The Royal family had finally contacted her after all these years and this is what they send. Maya couldn't believe it. Dinner was the only time Maya stepped out of her room and since her mood still hadn't improved, it caused an unnatural tension to hang in the air, seeing the usual cheerful princess, quiet as a tomb. Naomi, already used to her princess behavior just served her dinner, leaving her alone. It was Dexter who kept peering at her, wondering what went wrong. "Do you want to want to talk about it?" He asked when the silence finally became unbearable. " They're moving the time I'll be leaving the villa forward" Maya suddenly announced, surprising everyone on the table. " It's no longer three months from now. I just have a month left." She wa
( Back to the present) Maya eyes widened as she remembered and it only grew wider till it felt like they would pop out of their sockets. Dexter's fingers still under her chin, his lips twitched on seeing the reaction. She reeled backwards, her mouth wide open in shock. " Dexter!" She screamed before clamping her hands over her mouth, stupefied. Dexter allowed his lips to stretch into a smile, his eyes glowing. " You remember." He said, his voice low. Maya's heart began thrumming. " Dexter!!" She repeated, still finding it hard to believe. Oh heavens...! Oh heavens!! How did she not see it!? How did she not recognize him!?! She stared at him again, her eyes clear. Now that she remembered, everything had changed. The once intimidating man didn't look so... Intimidating anymore. He still had the aura around him yes, but he didn't frighten her anymore. He walked closer to her, running her hands through hair before resting on her cheeks..." How could
" The rumors are true! You did get married!!" The new lady cried, her cheeks flushed. Maya stared at her, confused. Who is she? She began to ask Dexter but cut herself short when she saw the deadly look on Dexter's face as he stared back at the stranger...The air in the room changed as Dexter glared at the stranger, his eyes growing dark, veins popping out from his neck." Get out." Dexter groaned, his voice calm and deadly. The stranger flinched, gripping her clothes tightly, her face turning crimson." But!.." she began, opening her mouth to speak again. Dexter cast a pointed look to the guards behind her and immediately understanding, they dragged the beautiful stranger out, her screams of refusal echoing in the room. She glared at Maya as was dragged out. Soon the door was slammed shut and silence descended.He turned back to Maya who still had that confused look on her face. They were silent for so long till Maya spoke up." What just happened? Who is that?" Maya asked, looking
Dexter arrived at his study and the guards in the entrance bowed, opening the door for him to enter. He walked into the room, greeted by the dark gloomy place. Settling into the chair, he picked up a few scrolls and began doing hsu work. A knock came on the door and he paused, glancing at the door. He beckoned for whoever is behind it to come inside, getting back to work. The door opened and a burly figure walked in, but with a with a much more welcoming aura. Closing the door behind him, he inclined his head. " You called on me, Your Majesty." The man spoke out, his head still bowed. Dexter glanced at the man, Leaning back on the chair. He was his personal aide and one of the closest person to him. He all had a notable rank " Yes, I did." He replied easily, looking away. " Call on the rest of the noble. We'll be having a meeting. I plan on introducing Maya to them as my Queen." He told him. " Yes, your highness." He replied, feeling elated. It's just
The room fell silent at her entrance. All gazes fell on her and her breath caught in her throat. Clenching her fists, she raised her head even higher, taking uniformed steps to the end. The air of regality clinging to her like a cloak, she refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing her unnerved. She could feel their piercing gaze on her but she tried her best not to shrink from it. Her eyes searching and falling on Dexter who was sitting at his throne. He looked furious but their eyes met and his gaze softened. She took in a deep breath, relief flooding her like a wave. Murmurs broke out as she walked, their snide remarks drifting to her ears. Not her business, she repeated over and over to herself, tuning them out. Her job was to get the Dexter. After what seemed like forever, she finally got to his side. He stood to his feet, closing in on the last few steps. Once again, he reached out his hands to pull her up and she placed her hand in his. He reached it up to his
She had fainted. Lifting her from the ground, he stopped anyone who tried to offer their help in carrying her. Taking her bridal style back to his chambers, eyes glued to her face, he started noticing things he didn't see before. She was still as beautiful as ever but she wad a lot thinner now so she weighed almost nothing. His hands tightened around her midriff as he strode to his chambers, barking out orders from the side to have Rosa, the head maid in his chambers. He arrived at his chambers and placed her on the bed, Opening the windows so he could let fresh air in, He went back to her side to help undress her but found it confusing so he gave up. Just then, a knock came on the doors and after giving approval, the person behind walked in. It was Rosa. She walked closer. "You called on me, Your Majesty." Rosa announced, her head bowed. He took a step away from Maya, her gaze still on her face. " Get her out of this clothes." "What happened?"
Please? Please? Hey, I'm yours! She almost let out but she bit it in. Instead, her cheeks colored as she stared back at him. " Do you even need to ask?" She whispered back, her heart racing. His lips twitched, his eyes glinting. " No, I don't." He murmured back, his lips descending on hers. Maya's eyes fluttered close as she kissed him back. He straightened to his full height, towering above her as he joined her on the bed. Inundated by him, she clung to him, wrapping her hands around his neck. One strong arm wrapped itself around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Her fingers tangled in his hair, pushing his head closer as he explored the depths of her soul. Her entire body was on fire now. She was burning for him. He pulled away just a little, to catch his breath. She was panting as well, her lips slightly parted. Maya stared into his eyes, they had grown dark, filled with a dozen emotions but one being the most prominent. Desire He went in a
(Far away, in the outskirts of Madonia: Albanie) Fleurie stood in her father's study, her head bowed, heart racing as she bit her lips. She flinched when her father banged the table, her heart skipping a beat. He returned from the council meeting a while back and has been in a terrible mood all this time. She'd come to ask him how it went and this is the reaction she got from him. " Of course he refused to take back his decision! She's going to be his queen!" He said aloud, his voice laced with anger. Fleurie shivered at the intensity of his words, taking a step back. "M-maybe it's all just a big mistake." Fleurie tried to say. " I'm sure he didn't mean it." She added in an attempt to calm him. Gavin glared at his daughter, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of a stupid mistake is that?!" He growled at her. Fleurie recoiled. "And you!" He barked, causing her to flinch. "After all these months, how come you didn't try to mak
