DIANA'S POV It took me a few minutes to comprehend what Nicholas just said. Love? What does he know about Love? Who gave him the right to fall in love after ruining my love life? I think this is also my fault too. I should never have done that. I shouldn't have kissed him. Those stupid feelings shouldn't have ignited. I came for revenge, not for love and even if I couldn't get the revenge, I shouldn't have fallen in love with him again. What kind of a daughter I'm I? If I die now, how will I face dad again? I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't realize when the tears welled up in my eyes and started falling down my cheeks until his cold palm wiped them off, sending shivers down my spine. "I love you. I love you so much that I can't imagine leaving the rest of my life without you. After our encounter, my life became a living hell. I couldn't go a day without thinking about you. When I don't see you, I get very worried. I know you harbor so much hatred for me and I know I deserv
NICHOLAS POV Laying on the couch wasn't such a big deal for me because I've done a lot of that while growing up and it's not like I'm the type that sleeps well. After Dad died, I never grew up with love, and being rejected like this only made me remember Dad. My mind went back to King Rivera's last words. And thinking about the connections between their death and the reason why they died of the same thing, I finally found it. It was very hard for me in those five years but I knew delay was dangerous and I started my whole plan the following week after King Rivera died. I will give those evil people the same death they gave to my Father and Godfather but theirs would be worse because they wouldn't want to kill themselves and will always look for a solution that doesn't exist. It sucks not to have any trustworthy person on your side and always having to watch your back. That's how the palace has been all my life even when Dad was alive and that's how he had taught me to live
NICHOLAS' POV "Not all vampires allow their scent to be perceived, especially Born vampires like us," Kurt replied. "Does that mean you..." She was still talking when Kurt pulled her into a warm, tight hug, his eyes reddened as he was on the verge of tears. "I missed you so much, Diana. I looked practically everywhere for you but you were so impossible to find. I couldn't smell you and that made things even harder. Where have you been? How have you been doing? And what on Earth are you doing in this place, going about with that face?" He asked worriedly, I guess their relationship was deeper than I thought. Diana pulled herself away from him and slowly space shifted right in front of him. I felt this sharp stinging pain in my heart and I could hardly tell what it was. My eyes narrowed with contempt as I watched them discuss passionately. This is the way I want Diana to speak with me. Free and sincere but I guess that would always be in my wildest dreams. "It's a long story,
DIANA'S POV I didn't need to be told to know what Ava was scheming. I know the right answer in my heart but I'm in no position to say it. I used to have a huge crush on Kurt before Nicholas came into my life, made me fall in love with him, and messed me up badly, and even now, I still love him a lot even after all I've been through because of him but those feelings is just in my heart, I will never reciprocate it till I breathe my last. Kurt also has a big place in my heart and I really wish I could reciprocate his love because he would have been the perfect man for me but I still can't bring myself to love him as much as I love Nicholas but I will choose him over and over again rather than Nicholas. Nicholas is the one I want but Kurt is the one I have to choose. I know what I want and what I have to choose but making a choice now will definitely hurt Nicholas especially after listening to his confession yesterday. I really didn't want to care about Nicholas' feelings but I j
NICHOLAS' POV Kurt left my room as soon as Diana left and I also went back to my room with Ava following behind me. "What was that for?" I asked angrily as soon as the door was closed behind us. "Don't pretend around me, Nicholas Alexander! You wanted to hear an answer from her. You were so desperate to know who she was going to choose and you were very disappointed after listening to her tell Kurt that she didn't have a choice in her life. If anyone had told me that you'd ever stop loving Diana, I would have called them bluff." She yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you? What's going on all of a sudden? Why did you suddenly divert from Diana? What did that girl do to you? How could you stoop so low to fall for someone Grayson had fucked?" She nagged further. I really wanted to tell her the truth but her actions today make it obvious that her jealousy will only increase if she knows the whole truth and I must therefore keep it away from her for as long as Diana is still pret
DIANA'S POV I was lucky enough to find a cab that took me to the car park as soon as I walked past the vicinity of the palace. I wish there was something I could do to make my journey faster but I was helpless and choiceless and I didn't have my fantasy book with me to check more about my powers. I had to wait at the park for other several minutes before the bus was finally ready to take off. By now, I already space shifted to my true nature. We traveled through the long roads and soon enough we were already on the outskirts of Copenhagen. We reached a major highway and our bus began to slow down as we got to a checkpoint. There was a sudden need for the traffic workers to conduct some search on every vehicle and ours was not an exception. I didn't have anything illegal with me so I had nothing to fear. Some of the security on duty entered our bus, holding a palm top in his hands. They looked closely at every individual in the car before looking back at their palm top and I
KURT'S POV Learning about Diana's marriage was annoying. This was not what we planned and j I don't know why she suddenly changed without telling me about it. I really can't accept this, especially with the fact that my father came up with the whole idea. I don't know what father is going to do when he hears about this absurd thing but I still have to tell him about it. I didn't inform Daniel before going to Dad's Chambers today and when I got there I was lucky enough to meet father not busy. "Seems like you miss me so much these days, you keep visiting me." Father joked but I could barely laugh because of the bad news I brought. I slumped into a couch beside his bed and he could already notice my sullen face. "What is wrong with you, Kurt? You haven't smiled since you came here and it's so unlike you." He commented and I decided to tell him what was wrong. "D-Diana...got married to Nicholas!" I announced,
DIANA'S POV Why is mom saying this all of a sudden? It's not like she was the cause of her own sickness. This is all my fault! I ruined their happy life with my presence in their lives. "...it is all my fault. I shouldn't have loved. I shouldn't have married and I shouldn't have thought of bringing another creature t the world to pass through this torture of a life. Diana, will you forgive me? I really wish I could take this curse away from you. I really hope it could just end with me so that you won't even have an idea such a horrible curse is in our lineage but it's too late. I'm going to die soon and leave you and your father in great pain. I am such a horrible person..." What is this curse mom is talking about? I've only heard that we are a lineage of the Last Emperor and that was supposed to be a good thing. What is this curse about? I hope to find it somewhere here. I opened the next page of the book and it was blank. I opened
