What do you think it should be?"A sharp laugh cracked through the receiver, cold and dismissive."Lauren, don't be stupid," his mother hissed. "When you want to protect something precious on your mobile device, what do you use for privacy?"He paused, brow furrowed. The weight of her tone made him think twice before answering. "Something… or someone I love or something or someone that holds memories or a remarkable date"... "Exactly," she murmured, her voice laced with cunning. "Now apply the same logic here. Who do you think Luca would use?"Lauren's throat went dry. His mind raced, unwilling to admit the obvious.

His crown gleamed with black diamonds, his robe flowing like midnight waters."Welcome, Luca Morano," the king's voice rolled deep, commanding. "And welcome, his wife, Alessia.

Did that mean every wish she made now would come true? Did that mean her words alone could bend the very fabric of nature?She remembered how her father had snatched the diary away before she could read more. His face pale, his eyes shadowed with a fear she had never understood then. The door had slammed in her face, his voice trembling as he told her never to step foot in his study again.Had her parents known?Had they realized she was the cursed child marked by the blood moon?Her lips parted as she whispered to hers

Daisy's breath faltered when Seraphina's cold voice slashed through the chamber. She was searching for a best escape idea, as her wishes were granted too suddenly.

He doesn't know why he can't restrict her, he had known he always felt something special, different and unique for her, more than what he had ever felt for any woman before, his body was burning for passion already. "Don't let her distract you " he muttered to himself. But the way she look at him and stare straight onto his eyes makes him yearns for her.
