CLARAThe morning light filtered through the grand Windows, Illuminating light. "Hmm," I mumbled under my breath as I tossed on the bed restlessly."Roberto?" I called out weakly as I tapped the space next to me and was shocked to find out that it was empty."I'm here," I heard his voice from afar. "Good morning." I felt the sudden pressure on the bed and then a gentle kiss on my forehead."Good morning," I yawned in response, stretching like a starfish. My eyes were still dimly shut due to the...oh, I began blushing as the events from last night flashed."You okay?" He chuckled."Yes," I nodded as I sat up. "Just happy,""Hm?" He arched a brow. "I wonder why,""Like you don't know why," I hissed and pushed him away. I was definitely not in for his teasing this early."What?" He laughed. "I'm just asking,""Whatever." I rolled my eyes and ran to the bathroom.'That was awesome!' Rae cheered, it's been long since I heard her this cheerful."Wow, so all you needed was one-"'Bah bah,' s

CLARAThe sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the clearing where we were preparing for my father's burial.The air was thick with sorrow, and I could feel the moment pressing down on me. My heart ached as I watched the men from our clan digging the grave, their faces somber and respectful.My father may have not been the best father or husband, but he was a good leader to some extent. I remembered how he trained most guards and handled his cases. It's no shock that they miss him.In a way I do too, I may have disliked him but he didn't have to meet his end this way, it's so unfortunate."Clara?" Roberto called softly, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure you're okay?"He looked concerned, his brows furrowed. He had a strong presence, but at this moment, he felt like my anchor."I'm trying to be strong for Mom," I replied, glancing over at her. She stood a few feet away, her eyes fixed on the ground, lost in her thoughts. Soon, she would be the A

CLARAA few weeks later.The drive back home was extremely exhausting, I've lost count of how many times, I asked the driver if we were at home yet.I knew the way back home, I just missed it and I was excited.Yesterday, the workers from our palace returned in order to have the palace prepared for our return."Are we there yet?!" I groaned as I stomped my foot on the ground."Almost, my lady," the driver replied."Ah fuck this."A few minutes later, the driver pulled up in the driveway and I quickly cheered loudly running out of the car.I stepped into the grand Hall of the palace. "Holy fuck! It's good to be home!" The echoes of my dad's burial and my mother's crowning ceremony still resonate in my mind. The air was thick with the scent of fresh flowers that Olivia picked on my return back home.I glanced over at Roberto, who stood beside me, his eyes reflecting a mix of pride and exhaustion."Can you believe it is finally over??" J said, letting out a breath I did not realize I wa

CLARAA week later."It's Storm's wedding!" I jumped up from my bed feeling a sudden rush of energy.My alarm went off immediately after I got up, I ticked it off and dashed into the shower, humming and singing to myself, as I scrubbed my body.Lately, I've been using the same products Roberto used. God, I smell like him and it pleases me so much!After I was done bathing, I tied a towel around my chest and called for Olivia, who arrived within minutes with a tray of food and snacks in her hand."Good morning, my lady. Did you sleep well?""Oh yes, I did! And thanks so much for the food, kindly drop it there," I pointed at the desk opposite me as I sat on my bed, checking my face out with my small mirror."Does my skin look okay? I think I lookpale," I asked Olivia, who studied my face and shook her head."No, not pale at all,""Sure?""Yes ma'am.""Okay then, now please get me the dress. There isn't any time and you have to go prepare! Hope the gifts are well packaged, yeah?""Yes a

CLARAI made my way through the crowd, the air was thick with excitement and the sweet scent of blooming flowers. The sun shone brightly, casting a golden hue over the garden where Storm's wedding was set to take place.Rows of white chairs lined the aisle, adorned with delicate ribbons and fresh blooms, creating a picturesque setting that felt almost magical.I could hear the soft strains of music drifting through the air, a gentle melody that seemed to echo the joy of the occasion. Guests were chatting animatedly, their laughter mingling with the sound of birds chirping in the background.I spotted Storm and his bride, looking radiant as ever.

I placed my carefully wrapped gift among the others, a token of love and support for my friend on this monumental day.Just then, the officiant stepped forward, signaling that i
