"How do you manage everything so easily?"
She passed a kind smile taking a small sip of the tea, "I have learned from the best."
I looked at her blankly not knowing the meaning behind her words.
"My sister."
"I will never be able to do anything," I bit the inside of my cheeks nervously.
"My sister was great at doing everything. If I had not seen her in the initial days I would have thought she was born perfect," she let out a soft chuckle that made her sharp eyes squint, "I still remember the day, she was supposed to prepare everything for a small get together but she ordered the flowers that had bees in it."
Lilith shook her head with a smile reliving the memory of her sister.
"If she was here she would have told you one thing only, don't think if the people would accept you or not, you have to accept yourself as their queen first and give your hundred percent. You have to feel the pain of your people, you have to f
I woke up with something heavy holding me in my place. I tried to wriggle out of the hold but it did not work and I was just pulled back."Stop moving, Nora, or else there will be another problem to take care of."My eyes opened and the sleep vanished the moment I heard Damien's husky whisper in my ear. My heart was out of my control as my cheeks started feeling warm.I looked down and found Damien's arm wrapped around me."How can you cross the pillow border?" I screeched still in the same position."Look carefully I am still on my side," he whispered in a low voice sending chills on my body.And he was right. The pillow wall was almost two hands away from me.I tried to lift his arm but it was as useful as watering plants during the rain."Damien, let me go," I whined."Why? I quite like this position," I could imagine him smirking right now."Because I really have to pe
"This is for you," Ruhee announced with a wide grin on her pink lips the minute she entered the room. I passed a look of confusion seeing her empty hands. But shortly after her, a guard entered with a dress wrapped in a nude bag in his hands. "Where should I leave this?" "Please just leave it there," I pointed towards the nearby couch. He left the dress there and left. "Who sent this?" I asked as Ruhee unzipped the bag. She removed a burgundy sequin dress with long net sleeves. It was backless but had two golden chains crossing each other on the back and a slit on the left leg that started from just below the thigh. The dress was long and the skirt was flowy even with the slit. "This is beautiful," I said in awe. My eyes stopped on the tiny off-white card hanging out from the bag. I picked it up, 'I am sure you are gonna love it, Your favorite girl, Emily.' I giggled reading the n
Every minute passed with difficulty, it was bringing me closer to meeting all the guests. I was almost ready with my hair in an elegant bun, we decided to keep the eye makeup light and go with bold burgundy lips. Ruhee was ready as well, her hair unlike me was flowing like a river reaching her waist. She kept her lips nude but did a smokey eye. Damien was waiting for me outside but my legs were shaking. I could not trust myself to walk down the stairs. "What if I tripped and fell in front of everyone?" I asked standing close to the door. "You won't, Nora. I will be there with you," Damien tried to convince me. I stayed silent and opened the door. Damien was standing outside wearing a black tuxedo just like his hair color. His blue eyes started shining the second they fell on me. "Wow, you look beautiful," he closed the distance between us. "You don't look too bad either," I let
I was finally standing alone but two arms appeared out of nowhere engulfing me in a tight hug. "I missed you so much," Emily almost shouted in my ear. With a giggle, I hugged her back, "I missed you too, where were you? I thought your parents didn't give you permission to come here." She rolled her eyes, "This is a party full of Alphas and Betas, when I told my father I want to come here he looked happy for the first time in my 19 years of existence." I shook my head in amusement. "You look gorgeous," Emily was wearing a black gown with a puffy skirt that was reaching her ankles but the skirt had a cut in the front where the fabric was crisscrossing. She had done perfect smokey eyes with nude lips. She had her hair in loose curls with simple diamond earrings dangling from the ears. "I know," she grinned, "but you shouldn't be the one to talk you look absolutely breathtaking." I let out a short laugh, "
There were murmurs and loud whispers everywhere.I was still on the ground with Damien shielding my body from the impact. Everything happened too fast for me to understand but there was a loud sound of glass being shattered on the floor.Damien gave me a hand to stand up, I held his hand tightly and stood up slowly with a wince. A small piece of glass was in my arm as well as my leg, but it was nothing compared to what Damien had on the backside of his body.The large glass chandelier was shattered into hundreds of pieces on the floor, where I was standing.Some guests had a confused look on their faces, while others were shocked by the events."Are you hurt?" Damien checked my body for injuries.I shook my head, "I am fine, don't worry about it."But Damien didn't look convinced enough and ordered a girl to take care of my wounds.Just then Silver came running towards us, "Someone made sure the chandelier wou
"What's going on?" I followed Luca holding my dress with one hand trying my best not to trip and fall but I could not say the same for Emily.Luca and I froze when we heard the shattering sound. I turned around to check if Emily was okay or not. Emily had her hands on her mouth and her wide eyes were looking at pieces of the porcelain statue lying on the ground.I stayed silent to run after Luca who was walking way too fast for me."Now is not the right time to explain."He turned towards the left and opened the door of the soundproof room.The King and the Queen were sitting on the seats they were sitting on earlier whereas Damien was leaning on the bookshelf talking to Silver. All the heads turned towards the door when Luca and I entered with Emily following us shortly after.Damien raised his brows looking at Luca."I can't find her," he ran his hands through his hair, "she can never do any such thing.""Th
I was still not ready to believe Ruhee could do any such thing.A large part of my brain was still not ready to accept it no matter how much I tried.I changed into shorts and a pink top with full sleeves after removing the makeup.I stepped out of the room and Damien was still talking to someone on the phone. His face held a serious look with the scowl never leaving his forehead.I went towards him but he pointed his index finger asking me to wait. I gave him a nod.He finally disconnected the call."Did they find Ruhee?" I asked slowly.Damien let out a sigh, "No, there is no sign of her anywhere."I pressed my lips together tightly in a thin line."I can't believe this. Why would she do that?"Damien put his phone on the table, "We will get the answers soon.""No, if she wanted to kill me she had so many chances. She could have done that successfully and without even any witnesses if sh
I stared at the man speechlessly as no words formed in my mouth. The man I thought I would never find was standing in front of me, with a weird grin on his face. "Can you give this to him?" he moved the white sheet in front of me. I did not move from my position. "Why don't you give the list to Damien yourself?" I gave him a fake smile. "It is fine if he is busy I can come back later." "No!!" I said loudly, "I mean, this is important and he is almost done with his phone call." I glanced towards the glass door, Damien was still talking on the phone. "Stay here," I ran towards Damien. He gave me a confused look. I opened my mouth but shut it again, the door was still open and the man could hear everything, "Damien someone wants to see you." "I will call you back," he said to someone. "Hurry up," I pushed Damien inside the door earning a scowl from h
