"Sus! It's okay! Of course, it's a pity I didn't go to Dianne's wedding. I was abroad those days. That was big, huh!""I would have hired you as a photographer, e. Then you have other appointments so we won't bother you anymore.""It's really unavoidable conflict of sched sometimes. By the way, I'm opening a restaurant next week. You should come! You can come there with Travis or–""Noel, Travis and I broke up," I said softly."Oh!" He laughed. "I'm sorry."I shook. "It's nothing bad.""We'll start in a few," a staff announced.Noel and I went to the table because he was also a juror. I greeted the head of Loreal politely, then the other judges. Greco is on the sidelines, silent but imposing. There were two vacant seats between him and the older businessman. He glanced at me and then to the seat next to him, urging me to sit there. That was really my plan so I sat there. Noel sat beside me."I didn't expect you'd be here," I said softly to Greco.He tilted his head a bit to look at me

Sammy drove us out. I smiled and waved at her. I checked my wristwatch while walking back to the parking lot. It's already past eight. I thought maybe Greco’s flight was early tomorrow. So before getting back in the car, I turned to him."We can part ways here. Thank you for your company. Your flight is tomorrow morning?"He nodded. "Why do you need a dress, anyway? Party?""No. It's the art exhibit funded by Suncrest Corp., you heard about it?"He paused a bit. "Yes, I was invited. But I won't be around by Friday, so ..."I nodded and alarmed the car."See you by Saturday, then?""Alright.""Don't miss me too much, okay?" tudyo ko.His gaze went sharp and I chuckled before going to my car.My work on Evan's resort started officially the next day. He apologized for what happened last time. Of course he should. I did not ask for details of what happened after I left because I was not interested.Evan took me to meetings. I wasn't entertained even a bit the whole time. I thought, maybe

Demitri, his brothers and Prince Evan joined us in our table with Father, Orion, Lucia and her parents, Aunt Amelia and Uncle Benedict. I then started explaining to my newly found family what I had went, how I met Demitri and how I became the crown princess of Solterra. They all were surprised, of course except Orion and Lucia because they had known it all along. Demitri also announced to everyone that we are getting married as soon as possible.Marriage has never been in my mind ever since. It felt like I am too young for it and I still have so many things to do, to discover, to explore, without a man beside me. Before, I always wanted to be independent. Someone who doesn't depend on others. But since the moment I realized how I feel for Demitri, I knew then that I have no chance to turn back the time and avoid meeting Demitri with all my might. I have no chance of unloving him because he is the man who gave me so much hope and love. He sheltered me. He showed me the kind of affection

"Surprised, sweetheart? You see, I am also a dragon summoner. The two of us are the same. We fit for each other. I guess it's what they call destiny?""Destiny, you fool! What did you do to them?! Where is Demitri?!" I yelled and lifted my hand in the air. My blazing sword appeared and I held onto it tightly as I sauntered forward.I lashed my sword in the air, creating waves of fire, but he blocked it so fast with his wind blades."I heard you are pregnant? One month? Two? It's not visible yet so I wonder. I suggest you should just kill that child. Its father is dead, after all. You can bear mine instead."I couldn't contain my anger anymore. How dare he tell me to kill my child! How dare he! He should die today. His blood should spill in my hands. There is no forgiving for someone as evil as him.I flew towards him. The blade of my sword collided against his. Using my other hand, I gave him a heavy blow in his chest. He took a step backward and smirked as if it didn't affect him eve

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt like I was reborn in new and more powerful body. I could feel the overflowing energy on my veins, the heat of fire around me, my soul aching for blood, and my every nerve screaming for death.Ren Lancaster's death."You really look so much more beautiful when you are all on fire. Maybe I should marry you soon. What do you think, my queen?"I moved my hands in rhythm with the beating of my heart to form the phoenix attack."First, I'm not your queen. Second, I will never marry you," I said firmly and sent him the huge blow of phoenix attack-fire that formed like a phoenix that could burn even a soul.Although he was fast enough to dodge so he won't have it bad, the blow was so powerful it still affected him. His left forearm up to his elbow was burned. I smirked. I knew he can dodge the attack, but I also knew there's no way he won't be injured.His smile vanished. There was no time to waste, I didn't give him time to recover. I sent him a rain of ar
