Immediately after I got out of the ballroom and out of their scrutinizing gazes, I broke out into a run, taking off my glass slippers in the process. I had to send a message to the King.But the problem is.. where is he??I have no idea about his whereabouts...Entering my room, I pace for a while and in the process, spot a black shiny book under my pillow. I walk to my bed in haste and reach under the pillow to find that it was a phone.I couldn’t help but squeal in delight and appreciation. The first thought that crossed my mind was to reach out to Dante but quickly brushed it aside it could be a trap and doing so will be me falling into it.Opening it, I was stunned to see my picture as the wallpaper- A picture of me sleeping peacefully in my room at dusk. I unlocked it easily and searched through the phone to see it was new and void of information.Except for a contact no that was saved as Mate.The king’s no...I sneered in contempt and let out a sad smile while thinking if I sh

I looked to see Zane supporting my weight in panic and concern. I turned to him and requested something I needed very urgently.“Can you please take me to my room?”He lifted me up and sped to my room as fast as he could.He got to my room, opened the door, and dropped me on my bed. He covered me with the duvet and wished me a good rest before quietly leaving the room. I stared at the doors for some minutes before turning to sleep, the situation with Dante wearing me out immediately.***I woke up much later feeling more refreshed but not wanting to interact with anyone because I had done more than enough these past two days. I looked at my phone to see that I had slept for about four to five hours and it was evening already.I rolled over to stretch and remembered I had a book to read. I couldn’t help but pine for my family and to distract myself, I reached over to the bedside to notify the kitchen staff that I needed my dinner up here instead alongside a cup of hot chocolate.I dra

However, the more thought of his words, the angrier I became, and eventually couldn't keep my emotion in check.Seeing the change in my expression, he took some steps toward me showing a bit of concern, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"I raised my hands to stop him from getting closer to me.What's wrong?I snickered out this time around before looking at him squarely in the eyes, "Your words, that's the problem, your highness." I said the 'Your Highness' in a sarcastic way. before continuing."You assure me of my comfortability in your clan only 'if' i do as told like a puppet without a mind of her own and in the same sentence, failed not to threaten me if I decide to have a thought of my own or don't follow every instruction given to me. Am I not quite laughable with this situation and conditions in which I, someone whom you so much as confess your undying love to, am currently in?" I continued my words in a drag sarcastic tone.As I spoke, his expression gradually changed f

LorelI couldn’t help but be emotional because the song reminded me of Liam and how past relationship and could not help but refer to him through the song at the same time. Also, I could feel part of myself referring to Zane which came as a surprise to me. Speaking of which, my eyes widened and jolted in surprise when I remembered I'm supposed to be preparing for my date with him. I shook my head, pushed all the emotions I was feeling aside, and rushed out of the bathroom, bumping into Shanghai on the way. “I’m so sorry, Shanghai!” I apologized.She smiled kindly at me and turned to gesture to the outfit on the bed. I walked closer and saw that it was a long-sleeved mini bodycon dress with an opening in the chest area and a mini slit in the front.Touched, I looked at her gratefully and rushed to put it on. Seeing that iI had my shower cap on, I carefully took it off and then shook my hair to create the full fluffy large curls that made me look exotic.I didn’t react as I heard Sh

I struggled effortlessly to swim to the surface of the ocean but the more I struggled, the more I sink further down the bottomless pit. My will and struggles become weaker and eventually, I had no energy in me to fight against the torrent of the waters I sank deeper into the ocean feeling myself lose my consciousness gradually, and before I knew it darkness encircled me, and drew me within itself. For what seemed like just a few minutes later, I let out a tightly drawn gasp of air and flew my eyes open but what met them was total and desolate darkness. The same that consumed me when she was on the verge of losing consciousness. However, I could feel that I was no longer surrounded by water but rather I was lying down flat on what seemed like a concrete floor.Trying to control my emotions and not allow fear to consume my being, I move my hand around me the floor not truly knowing what I was looking for in my doing so."Hello, is anyone there?" I called out hoping that someone was t
