"So," Kays addresses the crowd of women again, having calmed down a little after my appearance. "You will each be allocated a certain sum of money to start your new lives. You probably won’t be able to live in luxury, of course, but it will be enough for a fresh start. If you spend it wisely—on education or on starting your own business—you can settle well in life. Buy yourselves a home, invest it, or get married—that’s up to you, and I frankly don’t care. You deceived me shamelessly, driven by greed, so be grateful even for this. Besides, in your former lives, most of you didn’t have even as much as I’m giving you now."Grumbling and complaining, the women followed Darius, who had just entered. He would arrange all the necessary payments. Left in the hall were Fisa, Madina, and Aifa, who approached us."And how exactly are we supposed to understand this?" Madina looks at us indignantly."Exactly as it is," Fisa bursts out laughing. "Damn, if I’d known that Kays was the king, I wouldn

“I saw her and couldn’t tear my eyes away. The brunette captivated my mind and refused to leave it. She turned out to be an orphan and was helping a local farmer with his goods. I started visiting the market more often, and that’s how everything began. We confessed our feelings to each other, and I wanted to make her my wife. My parents were not impressed at all—Bahira had no family or home. Laverna wasn’t exactly thrilled about my first love either, though she pretended to tolerate it. We secretly married in an ordinary temple, and the next day we appeared before my relatives as husband and wife. Oh, what a scandal that was!”I think I know exactly what kind of scandal it was. Clearly, that was the very one I saw in my dreams.“At that time, our lands were constantly under attack, and my marriage only added to my parents’ worries. I decided to prove myself in their eyes and gain magical power—to help defend our lands with magic and reduce the loss of lives. I knew there were certain

“Come on, just a little more, and I’ll take off the blindfold,” my man says, leading me by the hand.“Before you murder me somewhere in the bushes, remember—I broke your curse, by the way!”I hear Kays let out a heavy sigh.“Don’t get your hopes up. I might fuck you—but for that, I need you alive.”“Oh! I’m not against that!” I laugh. With this man, I’m never against it.“Alright—one more step… and that’s it.”Kays unties the blindfold, and I fall into absolute rapture.We were standing on a small ledge before a vast lake, surrounded by the most breathtaking forest scenery. The sun was already setting, casting orange reflections across the water. But that wasn’t what stunned me most.At the bottom of the lake lay millions of small stones—and larger ones too—glowing in different colors, creating an utterly unreal picture.“Kays, this is incredible!” I squeal with delight, taking in this natural wonder. “Look—there are even schools of fish visible!”I turn toward my beloved and lose my

“Nice talk, smooth operator,” I still grumble.“What’s a ‘smooth operator’?” he asks, and I roll my eyes.“Nothing. This world wouldn’t understand it.”“Iza, what are you even imagining now?” Kays sighs, gives up, pulls on his trousers, then gently wraps me in his arms, lifting my chin so I look at him. “We’re fighting over something that doesn’t even exist. Why?”“It’s just… I love you so much that I’m scared… scared you’ll regret being with me… scared you proposed out of a sense of duty—for lifting the curse…”I’m cut off by my beloved’s demanding lips crashing into mine.“Thinking really is bad for girls,” he smirks slightly as he pulls back. “No sense of duty would ever make me marry a woman I don’t love! And I definitely don’t plan to regret my decision. In fact, I’m counting on you giving me a few more beautiful little prepedollies and some brave princes,”At that statement, my eyes nearly pop out of my head.“I’m not a little boy who doesn’t know what he wants—I’m a very mature

I never thought that a single word could make my soul grow this cold. I hear my heart pounding somewhere in my ears, leaping into my throat the moment I realize who it is.“Kays!” Bahira looks at my fiancé with emotion, anguish, and pain—and with tears, she rushes into his arms.The brunette stands frozen in mute shock, staring at the girl in his embrace in disbelief—then wraps his arms around her tightly in return.Inside me, everything snaps in that very second. The vilest, most repulsive feeling spreads through my body like a slow poison, seeping into every organ, every living cell of my existence, extinguishing the light within.And this isn’t jealousy. Not anger. Not the all-consuming despair that crashes over me in a second wave.It’s the feeling that you don’t belong.That you are extra.“Iza…” I faintly hear Iolanta address me softly, with worry. “Are you okay?”“Ah…” I’m as if in a trance—none of what’s happening feels real. I turn my lost gaze to my anxious friend.“Iza,” th
