NICHOLAS' POV
The serving maids quickly called the doctors while I carried her to our room and tried some simple first aid on her before any of the doctors arrived.
They quickly administered some injections on her before putting an IV on her hand. Even though they were cautiously trying to save Diana, they looked very worried and clueless and I could tell they are finding it hard to come up with a cause of her unconsciousness but I still had to ask because it's their job.
"What happened to her?" I asked hopelessly.
"Uhm... your highness, The Luna is showing sign blood lose. Her pulse are quite quicker than normal. I suggest she eats enough blood supplying foods and also get some blood tonic medicines which she will take from time to time. Aside that, they is no other problem for now. If she keeps to the prescription, she will be fine in no time." He advised, surprising me.
If anyone is supposed to have surplus blood, it
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE DIANA'S POV I'm I alright at all? What could have happened to me all of a sudden? I closed my eyes and a flashback of the breakfast incident came in front of me as if I was reliving that moment again. I saw myself eating silently until Nicholas pricked his finger and blood oozed out. I watched myself holding onto a tissue and pressing hard on his wound. I began to hear some kind of whimper which I did not recall earlier. I traced my eye to my face and I saw myself struggling for breath. Aside struggling for breath, my eyes were also dizzy before u suddenly lost my balance and fell on Nicholas, giving out a loud scream. "What is wrong with you?" Nicholas asked worriedly, scared by my sudden scream and then I realized I just had a hallucination of what happened earlier at the dining table. The whole scenario finally started making sense to me. I remembered Mom's words. "Blood is my life but I can't take it an
DIANA'S POV I wasn't sure what he meant but I knew something was wrong with the guilt in his eyes. What could be worse than killing my father? At least I know he didn't stab Dad to kill him but to lessen the pain of his last moments just like my Dad did for his Dad but what does he mean by he killed Dad with that video? A video can't be possibly more dangerous than a dagger of poison right? "What video are you talking about, Nicholas?" I asked again, more seriously this time around. "Uhm... it's nothing. I...mean you should get...some rest, I will bring in your...food." He stuttered, trying to leave the room again. "I'm done with those silly excuses, Nic. You of all people should know how keeping secrets has destroyed our lives. If we are going to make any progress in this newly formed relationship, it should be based on honesty and trust. What could be worse than the hatred I had for you when I thought you killed my father?" I wondered an
DIANA'S POV "You both failed to realize the love you have for each other but your father saw it and he decided to entrust you to him but for Five years, you were nowhere to be seen and those years were the worst of Nicholas' life. Worse than when he was an orphan child." Ava paused again and spaced out with a smile on her face. "I could still remember your father's last words before he died. It was as if he had been in a dilemma of choosing the right person to hand you over to before Nicholas showed him the video. Nicholas seeked forgiveness from your father but do you know what his response was?" She asked, putting me in suspense. "Yes!" I exclaimed eagerly. "The only way I can forgive you is if you promise to take care of my daughter. I don't think she can be in any better hands than yours." She said in dad's words. "Nicholas was very scared of these responsibilities but he had to promise him to earn his forgiveness. He tried to carry
NICHOLAS' POV I handed out the phone to Ava and gestured her to leave the room which she immediately complied to. "Who is Laura?" Diana asked curiously but I didn't want to tell her the truth for now because I didn't want anything to come between us now that we are just making up. "Uhmm...it's one of my staff, you shouldn't bother yourself about it." I replied and to end the conversation, I quickly pulled her attention to a picture of her which I had drawn before. "How do you like this?" I asked and even though it seemed like she had a question to ask, her attention was quickly drawn to the picture as she never expected me to have seen her in that dress or environment before. Her face suddenly turned very sad as she traced her hand on the picture. "Did you follow me out of the palace that day?" She asked, not taking her eyes off the picture. "I just happened to be out of the palace and I came across you." I replied sincerel
DIANA'S POV I paced about the room in anger as I thought about how I was left when they both discussed the matter. "Whoever Laura is, she must be quite special for her to have called Nicholas' personal number." I mumbled, still pacing about when Nicholas came in but I quickly stopped walking about and hurriedly lay down on my bed, pretending to be asleep. He felt him climbing up on the bed and after a few seconds of silence, I believed he must be sleeping so I opened my eyes only to see him staring lustfully at me. "W-when did...you get here?" I asked, feigning ignorance. "You know, I was just right behind you. Were you so tired that you couldn't take off your slippers?" He asked with a mischievous smile on his face and I was caught red handed. I took my eyes off him and quickly climbed down the bed to drop my slippers then I realized I was still in a long gown and I also have some paint stain on my face w
DIANA'S POV.Last night was the best night in my sexual life because for the first time, we made love and not just an affectionless sex.I laid tirelessly on the bed with only the blanket covering my nudity and when I looked towards Nicholas, he was out of bed.I sat up on the bed with a strong headache and dizzy eyes as I navigated the room in search of him but he was nowhere in the room.I assumed he might be in the bathroom until the door popped open and he entered with a tray of food and drugs in his hands."Uhmm... breakfast in bed hun? You're trying to be romantic now." I mocked as he dropped the food on the small table beside the bed."Aside from being romantic, you're feeling dizzy and I can't let you remain hungry for long since you also have some drugs to take." He said, putting on a straight face.How did he even know I am dizzy when he was already out of the room before I woke up?
NICHOLAS' POVI didn't plan things to turn out this way but at this point, I knew she definitely had to know the truth but this crowd can make things worse and I wouldn't appreciate it."I will tell you what is going on and what Kevin meant but that would be in private." I said to Diana before turning to look at the rest of them in our room, including Laura who was just coming in."You all will excuse us. That's an order." I ordered with all seriousness and they had no other choice than to leave."I'm all ears." She ordered and I stopped to stare at her."Do you find it hard to just let things pass you by?" I asked, trying to contain my anger."Yes! And I believe you should know me well by now. So just go ahead and tell me what you are hiding. I'm tired of this kind of relationship. Just when I think one thing is going right for us, you bring up another secret that will threaten to bring us apart. When is this e
DIANA'S POVNicholas didn't return to the room until later the next day while I was in the bathroom and just when I entered the room, he quickly picked a few clothes from his wardrobe and headed towards the door, pretending not to see me."What is wrong with you?" I lashed out, forcing him to stop."Oh, Hi! I didn't see you coming." He lied and I just shook my head in disbelief."You didn't come back to the room last night and all you can say is high?" I wondered, staring angrily at him."Uhm...I was thinking you...""You just walked out on me when we were talking and the next conversation we have is 'Hi! I didn't see you coming?'" I asked angrily."I felt you'd be angry with what...""You just jump to conclusions without even waiting to hear my opinion? You're such a weirdo." I lashed at him before going to my wardrobe and changing into casual wear.Once I changed into a black jeans trouser
