"Oh no! I will say it again.""Ahaa..."Trion looked like someone waiting to hear something interesting, with his right brow raised."Don't give me that look.""Oh my God! She's shy again."he sighed through clenched teeth.Due to shyness, Araxie began holding her dress, looking at her feet like she was discovering something new about them. "I like playing with water. It feels cool."she wanted to divert."Sure. I love it too especially using my tail, but I don't think it's the same story with you cos so far you've drowned twice and froze once. I don't think you love playing with water.""I said playing with water and not playing in water. These two are different. One can play with water on a dry land.""You've won ma'am but something is still pending."Araxie was praising herself that she managed to change the topic little did she know that Trion was still on it. Reminding her wouldn't cost him anything."So difficult to convince! What will you gain from taunting me?""Everything. You w
"The Queen's bead! I once read it somewhere long time ago. I saw its images but I never thought it's real. I thought it was only the author's fiction but.... How did you get it. I saw that only Queens of the sea have one. And why does it listen to you? Tell us Araxie."Aurora was asking a lot."Yes Araxie, how sure are you that it will listen to you.""It will surely listen to me. In fact it has already done so with Aurora's healing. A moment ago ma'am was wondering what to do about her condition but look now... look at her..""My condition. What condition?""Nothing.""Did you tell your bead?"Judith asked with a simple smile but filled with dissatisfaction."Yes ma'am.""Wow. I can't believe it though."Sara was left astonished."I can do a lot more than that.""Tell us how you got it. We're all curious as you can see."It was indeed a long story and she couldn't bring herself to tell it all to these story hungry lovers."I will tell you everything one by one.""It's okay."Thinking o
"No Mom, don't give up so easily. You have to fight back. You simply can't leave me like that. I'm coming to help you."I said but mother stopped me, "Don't come here please. This creature is very evil my child. I won't show you any mercy at all. Listen to me and run away dear. I don't want him to kill you too. You still have a wonderful life to live my dear child."she said as the vampire was pulling her on the ground, taking her from the road.I was left frightened that I even feared to get inside the car. My eyes had swollen and my lips and noise had turned red. I was trembling so much but all I could do was calling out for my mother but I guess it was too late.Wondering what to do next,I entered the car and thought of driving when I didn't know anything about the car. I didn't even know how to start it.I had thought of hiding in the car when I saw a group of six men coming. I could've shouted for help but I felt I shouldn't. They looked strange to me and I found it hard to believe
"I'm sure slapping my daughter wasn't a part of this, right?"Araxie had nothing to say other than nodding."Then why did you hit her, huhh?""Sh...she was talking ill about me... I mean my friend."Oh no! She almost exposed herself but thank God Marina didn't mind."So what? What if she said dirty about her, how does it concern you?"On hearing that, Araxie immediately fell down on her knees since she couldn't believe that Marina could ever say such a thing! "This means Judith was right and this woman here.... she doesn't love me any bit. She doesn't care if I live or die."she breathed in realization.This left some people shocked along with Araxie. They too didn't expect such words from a mother's mouth."Follow me dear."Marina grabbed her daughter's hand and took her inside the house.Araxie who was planning to go and apologise to Judith later changed her mind and followed those two enemies of hers. "You've left me with no choice but to stalk on you both. I have to know what's going
"Did you say wife? So... you remarried?""Unfortunately yes. When Tia left on my special day, I was shattered. I couldn't think right anymore and instead of being happy for a new journey, I was feeling lonely and all lost in thoughts.I couldn't imagine life without her by my side and before I knew it, the committee proposed that I should choose any random woman and crown her my queen because they were already angry with Tia's decision.""And then... Did you just choose her in a haste? Like they didn't give you time to find another woman of your choice.""I didn't choose anyone since I couldn't bring myself to. The committee members are the ones who chose her for me and made me crown her as my new queen."Beryl was already in tears."I'm sorry sir."Araxie found herself apologizing even when she knew it wasn't her fault at all."I remember I vowed not to share any physical relationship with Malinda whom they chose for me.She was so beautiful and lovely with a sexy body but I couldn't b
"I think I'm just looking my mind. I mean how on Earth could Casey be in love with this middle aged man. He looks to be in his 40's."she thought."You're scaring me. What's taking your mind?"Neel could see that Araxie was busy thinking about something though she didn't want to share it with him. He could see how bothered she seemed."How old are you?"she later asked without thinking it through."Why?"Maybe Neel found it strange."Nothing. I just want to know. ""So... you've been busy calculating my age from your mind and when you didn't seem to get it right you decided to ask, am I right?"All along Araxie was looking for what to lie and now, he was giving her an option."Yes (said with a smile), I hope you don't mind.""Of course I don't.""Thanks."There was silence between them again. Araxie couldn't stop thinking about the information Neel just told her about his girlfriend. She needed to know it all but how, when Neel looked focused on his cup of coffee."Neel. What's your girlf
"Well, when Casey told me she was leaving, I couldn't help it but to plant a quick kiss on her forehead. I didn't do that as a goodbye, I only wanted to read her mind without her knowledge about it cos she could've stopped me." He looked happy as he talked all that to her."Shut up. Just shut up Neel. I can't believe you've ruined me. How dare you show that girl my photos! I hate you sir. What am I going to do now. Oh damn it!"Araxie couldn't hide her worries and tears any longer. She was crying so much which left Neel torn between both regret and sympathy."I'm very sorry buddy. I was helpless after trying so many times to read your thoughts but in vain which made me suspicious of you and I started to think that something was fishy about you. That's why.""Oh just shut up already! How's your sorry going to help me now.... how, huhh? You've ruined everything Neel."All her life she never felt this helpless before."What can I do to help you. Let me know if you need my help."Neel said l
What brings you here and why do you look worried Betty -Araxie asked."I'm worried for you.""I don't understand. What do you mean by that?""Well, the woman is talking tooth and nail outside. She's saying she'd break into the house if you don't come out. She's called everyone and they're all gathered outside waiting for you because she promised to expose you in front of them.""Betty expected to see Araxie panicking and shivering but no, she heard was,"really?"""Yes dear. You have to use this window and run away. I'll inform you once the situation has settled down. I have a feeling that this woman is evil. You have to run away dear.""Don't worry dear. I will handle her but I will need your help.""And what's that?""I want you to promise me you won't scream or fear me after witnessing what I'm about to do. It's something magical you know.""I promise I won't do anything foolish. All I want is seeing you defeat that woman before everyone no matter what you'll do to get that done. Bu
