“ It’s been great. Though, I had the challenges but luckily, I was able to overcome it. Well, I feel more safer now. . . I guess.”Diana noticed he hasn’t touched his tea since the conversation started. “You haven’t touched your tea yet.”He took the cup, sipping from it. She watched his adam’s apple move up then down. She sighed in relief, assured that he did swallow the tea. Then she faked a smile on her face, sipping from her cup.She was studying him to see if there would be any reaction in him. She noticed his breath was heavy, and his eyes grew heavy. He was blinking hard to resist the reaction, and not to pass out.“What did you do?” He grabbed the tea cup, smashing it in his grip. “Did you just poisoned me?” He said faintly, falling to the ground.Diana stood up, smiling at him. “ I never thought you’d fall so easily to my trap.”“Who sent you?” He growled, but the more he talks, the more he loses his strength. “Who are you?”Diana walked to his side, bending before him. “ Let

I wanted to believe that I changed and, he won’t be able to recognize me. But I did recognize him, I never forget so easily especially the people I love. And the first thing he said to me was ‘Do I know you?’ We were in the market so I didn’t want to cause a scene, I simply told him, I was sorry. I left him.But deep inside me, I knew who I saw. He was Edward, the first guy I ever loved. To my greatest shock. . .” She bursted in tears, Diana embraced her in her arms. “ You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I didn’t mean to bring your past back to you.”“ You deserve to know, Your highness.” She broke the hug. “ That night, Freya came to tell me that her mom wanted to see me. Then we were both going to answer her mother. . .” She licked her lower lips. “ I saw Edward, he was talking to His majesty. I couldn’t even call his name, all I did was to stare at him. Every time I see him, I always look at him, hoping that one day he will look me in the eyes and tell me that he remem

Edward opened the door, he looked at her for the last time before exiting out of the house. She couldn’t hold the tears in her eyes, she fell on her wooden chair, crying out her pains.She dries up her tears, breathing hard, then she exits the house, returning back to the palace.She sighed heavily.**Diana was laying on her bed when a knock landed on the door. She walks to open it, the moment she sees Derek, she stiffened.He wasn’t looking sound and happy today. His face wore an expression which complicated the fact whether he was angry or not. And she can’t tell what has suddenly gotten over him as he keeps coming closer to her.She kept moving backwards as he moved forward to her. She would look back then at him. When she got to the wooden stool before the mirror, she sat on it. She knew that whatever he was about to do to her, there was no running away from it.“What are you doing? You don’t have to come any closer.” She saw he was still coming, maintaining the stern face. “ Do

★ ★ ★ ★Derek was not expecting what Diana did, he was already so deep into the kiss that he wished he could pull back her lips and make her forget she is not ready for sex. He looked at her face and stared into her eyes after hearing what she said, he knew it’s easy for her to say but it’s unknown to her that Lucifer is capable of anything once he sets his eye on something.Lucifer can go any length just to make sure he gets Diana, but Diana is not ready to understand Derek.Derek stood up feeling disappointed again, this is the second time he tried and it didn’t work. The fear of losing Diana to Lucifer increased, he looked at her hand again and he noticed Lucifer was almost close to breaking his mark.“He is really desperate.” Lucifer said to himself, Diana noticed Derek was staring at the hand, she also lowered her head to look at it. At first she felt pity for Derek and thought it’s better she succumb to his demand before the whole thing gets messy, but on a second thought she

★ ★ ★ ★Derek was talking unknowing to him that Diana had already slept off, he turned to look at her and found her sleeping. “Oh wow, she slept off.” Derek said to himself while looking at her face. He placed his hand on her face, the skin of her face was so soft.“She looks so cute.” Derek said while touching her face, he helped her lay properly on the bed. When he was done he pecked her on her fore head and smiled. Derek wanted to leave the room but the fear of Lucifer coming back suddenly gripped him.He noticed Lucifer always comes when Diana is asleep. He looked at her face again.“I don’t know why she is such a deep sleeper.” Derek said to himself while looking at her. He finally decided to wait in her room and watch her so that Lucifer will not be able to go anywhere close to her.While he was in her room, he started thinking of what he can say to her that’ll make her change her mind about having sex with him.“She needs to be mine as fast as
