A groan slid past my lips as I turned, pulling a good amount of the duvet with me. My head was heavy despite the fact that I was resting on two giant, super soft and cozy pillows. I felt three gentle taps on my head and I moaned, pain coursing through my body.The amount of pain I'd felt in the last week and more, I was certain I hadn't felt that much pain in my life. Even when I tripped the first time on my bicycle, or when I was burned during one of my big kitchen experiment, the pain never lingered. In a couple of hours or days, I was fine again. But now, headaches were like oxygen and I'd even used a cane to limp, something my father hadn't even attempted yet.Another three taps came again, these ones a bit louder than the first three. They left a dull ache in my head I was sure one of the concoctions Madame Alexis left on my bedside table would cure. But right now, the distance between me and my bedside table could be compared to the Pacific ocean and more."You'll get through th

"Just the lady we've been waiting for." Noah announced the moment the double doors were pushed open to let me in. Two guards stood at attention, flunking both sides. Their faces held no expression, lips are eyes trained to depict emptiness. Just like their sould were, I presumed. "Come in, come in."A sigh escaped my lips as I took the first step into the dining area. Chefs and cooks were in a line behind Noah, probably awaiting my arrived. Eric and Ethan sat away from each other whilst throwing one another murderous gazes and Noah, Noah sat at his usual seat, a big smile on his face. Immediately I stepped in, two new guards replaced the ones that came in with me. It had been like that since I woke up to a new day this morning. Every hour, a new guard would replace the one by my side.When I'd woken up this morning, four guards were at my door; two inside my room and the other outside. By the time I was ready for breakfast, I was already seeing new faces. On my way to the dining room,

Ethan's words rang continuously like an annoying bell in my head. I'd replayed that scene over and over again and truthfully I was already feeling a headache coming on.Where did I go wrong? I thought. I thought Ethan and I were close and he'd almost told me that day, if I hadn't been so stupid to cut him short, I wouldn't be in this dilemma right now. What went wrong?Mentally, I traced back my steps. I don't think I'd done anything that would restrict him from telling me about it, so why did he just black out like that? Or was it Noah?No, it couldn't be. He had no idea I was making my findings about his dad. Or did he? Did someone tip him off? Could it be the same person that told him about my parents coming to see me? It couldn't be. I only just decided to investigate him, so how would he know?I ruled that one out. Unless he now had Diana's celestial powers, I doubt he knew about my plan. He was just out to make my life miserable and that's what he'd been focusing on. Funny enoug

Its been days since our last run in with each other and I must say, Noah was taking the insult really well. It'd been three days, and we hadn't even so much as bumped into each other. Talk less of having a conversation or better still, an argument. My last statement definitely got to him, that's why he was so shocked and obviously at a loss for words. I barely knew Noah, but there was one thing I was certain about, Noah hated being compared his dad. The main question now is, was that a good thing or not?I shut my jotter frustrated. I'd gotten it just before I went snooping in Noah's study. It was useless at the time because there was literally nothing on it. Not even a doodle and why? All because of Noah freaking Sage.I tried to reach my back but the pain I felt was out of this world. According to Madame Alexis, I'd bruised my back. Clearly, she tried to pry out what kind of mischief I'd gotten myself into, but I was one tough nut to crack."Your highness." A knock at the door stopp

The air in the garden was chilly and it was strange because we were nowhere near winter. The flowers looked dull, trees were stiff and the songbirds weren't even chirping. Not one was in sight and I sat there, holding my journal to my chest and barely rocking myself on the swing.I thought back to two days ago. Two days ago when I'd gotten my revenge on Noah. Two days ago when I embarrassed him in front of his so-called important people. But how dare he? How dare he not invite me to his lunch? If it were to be an opportunity to embarrass me or probably kill me, he'd jump right at the opportunity. That served him right. The disgrace and everything else that came with it, he deserved it all and more even. I didn't pity any of the invitees either, the all looked weird, especially that sleazeball Emirates."My Queen." The door to the garden opened slightly, Laura's head peeking through. She had a sheepish smile and something about her demeanor didn't seem all right. " Good day my Queen."
