Chapter 101

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE MAX’S POV I knew that my uncle Magnus didn’t like Leslie for unknown reasons, but it was hard to tell why he desperately wanted me to get rid of her.“I cannot leave my lover, Uncle. Is this why you asked her to leave us? So that you can lecture me on the dangers of keeping her as my Luna?” I looked at him with annoyance on my face, but he didn’t care.“Catherinea would have made a better bride, Max.”“But she is not my lover. Father tried to force me to marry her.”“Your father knew what was best for you, Max. That’s why he agreed with Lord Alpheus for you and his daughter to get married. That union is going to mark the beginning of a strong union between the north and the eastern territories. You need them…”Mr. Magnus grabbed one of the chairs and sat down after he was tired of pacing around the room while he was still trying to persuade me to get rid of Leslie.“Sadly, my father is dead. And even if he knew the best for me, I think I know the best for mys

Chapter 102

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWO LESLIE’S POV Max had been quiet all through the night. He only said the words he thought were necessary, and by the time I was done taking my bath alone for the first time since we were married, he was already asleep.It was a good sight watching him sleep peacefully after that horrible encounter, but I also knew the reason why he was mute that night.I saw his uncle and the Manager leave the rooms while I was on my way toward the door. He must have been offended by what they told him, especially his uncle. Eventually, I managed to get some sleep myself, and I woke up the next day, realizing that the CEO was still sleeping. It was the first time I had woken up before him, but I decided to let him get enough rest. I knew that the fall after Chloe threw him off from high up must have almost broken all his bones. “Are you leaving me all alone?” He asked, his voice weak, while I remained the way I was. “Don’t tell me that you were trying to sneak out of the b

Chapter 103

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THREE LESLIE’S POV I was right. Everyone blamed me for what happened the previous night, even the servants who worked in the mansion.I saw the looks in their eyes when they came to attend to me that morning. Even from the way they carefully moved to me, I could tell that they dreaded me.“Luna Leslie?” One of them said with a shaky voice; she seemed to be the bravest among the five of them“May I?” She pointed at the dress she wanted to take to wash.“Go ahead,” I said, but she was still reluctant to pick it up.I was certain that she was afraid that I could sink my claws into her if she bent down to pick up the dress. So, I left the room for them. I couldn’t watch them act as I had never been nice to them.With a heavy feeling inside my heart, I sauntered along the passage, and it wasn’t long before Kara appeared, wielding her weapons in both hands. “Luna Leslie.” She bowed as soon as she stood in front of me.“Are you okay?” She asked when she realized that

Chapter 104

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOUR LESLIE’S POV Listening to the sound of the river cascading, I felt a little warmth inside me.Kara stood next to me, watching over me while I played with the water.I would have wanted to swim and have a bath in the water, but as a wife, that would have been beneath me.And I was not willing to do anything that was going to make me lose the respect I had in the kingdom. That was if I still had any left. “This is so peaceful, Kara,” I said, turning to Kara, who nodded with a smile as well.“I am glad you like it here, Luna Leslie. The CEO used to love to come here most times; he spent most of his evenings here.” I thought about what Kara said, and even though I wanted to act like it didn’t matter, I didn’t think that I could get rid of the curious thought that ran through my mind. “Why did he stop coming here?” I asked, and Kara sighed before she gave me a response. “King Max was very close to his mother. The only evening they didn’t come here was when ei

Chapter 105

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVE LESLIE’S POV I was very unpleased as well, watching as Mr. Magnus walked slowly toward us; the smile on his face was almost too real to deceive me. “I was told that you had gone this way, Luna Leslie.” He said, the deceptive smile on his face still intact.“Mr. Magnus? I expected you to be in the hall with the CEO and the others.” Kara said, taking a few steps closer to him. “Such a boring meeting.” Mr. Magnus scoffed. “I have become very tired of hearing them speak the same language and deliberate on the same issues every day. I am sure you wouldn’t understand because you are just a bodyguard.” Kara was offended by his words, but there was nothing she could do about it. Mr. Magnus was not just the King’s Uncle and only family member; he was also one of the elders and a very powerful one at that. “I would like a word with the Luna.” He said, and then turned to me with his sinister smile brightening in delightful contempt.Kara said nothing, but even Mr.

Chapter 106

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIX LESLIE’S POV Those words hit me so hard that I was forced to take in a deep breath at once, but it didn’t last for so long before my heart started beating very fast again. Mr. Magnus had gotten into my head, and it was bad enough that he already knew that his plan was working out very fine for him.“I know that you seem to be enjoying the position of Luna of this Kingdom, but I can make you a Wife, but not of this territory.” Mr. Magnus stared at me for a while.Maybe because he wanted to be certain that I was paying attention before he continued. “I can give you back the crown you lost before you came here, Leslie. You can be CEO Wife of Silver City again.” I couldn’t deny the fact that getting back my crown from Caelum was what I had always wanted, but I didn’t want to get it from Mr. Magnus.I knew what he was capable of doing, and the only reason why he had offered to help was that he wanted me out of the way.“What do you intend to gain from all these

Chapter 107

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVEN MAX’S POV The meeting with the elders lasted for so long that I almost thought of ending it right in the middle. It was the longest time that I had sat down with them, deliberating on so many issues that were brought to me. But instead of concentrating on the issues that seemed more urgent, they seemed to be concerned about the affairs of I and me, under the excuse that they were worried that I could get killed. But I dismissed them and their opinions as soon as I considered the meeting over, and some of them grumbled away, feeling very offended and unsatisfied. “They will never give up,” I grunted in annoyance, and then I turned to Asher, who seemed to be carried away by whatever he was thinking.“You seem troubled, Asher,” I said, and the Manager turned to look at me.He had been standing close to me the whole time, but it seemed like I was the only one left in the hall. “It’s nothing.” He said, but I didn’t believe him.“I have known you for so long,

Chapter 108

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHT MAX’S POV Mr. Magnus decided that he was going to remain silent even though it was just us alone in the hall, and I was waiting for him to tell me why he wanted to see me.“We don’t have all the time in the world, Uncle. I am sure you still remember that I have to get some rest.” I sighed, and thinking that he was going to say something the moment he took two steps forward, I paid keen attention to him.But he ended up clearing his throat while he held onto his silence.“She has to leave.” He finally said something when I thought that he was going to remain silent. “Who has to leave?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t know it was Leslie he was talking about.“Your lover, Leslie. She is unfit to be the Luna of the Eastern territory.” Mr. Magnus saw the angry look on my face the moment he was done talking, but it didn’t seem like he was bothered about it. “Why do you think that she is unfit to be Wife?” I asked, still struggling with the annoyance that crin

Chapter 109

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE ASHER’S POV My uncle was stunned the moment he heard what I said, but I was already done talking, and I was not going to take back my words. The shocked look in his eyes was very intense, and I could tell that he was hoping that I was going to say something else, something different from the things I said earlier.Then I felt a familiar sensation that caused me to return my gaze to the window at once.I saw Leslie walking toward the mansion through the path that led to the river. I could tell that she had gone to the river, and I wondered who must have taken her until I saw Kara right behind her. I sighed, and then I heard my uncle's footsteps as he walked up to me and stood in front of the window.“I know you love her, Asher. But sometimes love is not enough. Sometimes, duty is more important than any other thing, even the feelings we have for each other.”“That will be all, uncle. I would like to be left alone now.” I turned to face Lord Magnus, my pier

Chapter 110

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TEN LESLIE’S POV The silence in our midst lingered, and I didn’t want to be the first person to speak. I hoped that one of them was going to say something to break it. “This is not a good idea, Wife Leslie. If CEO Obed has a hand in the witch’s attack just like you suggested, then that means that she must have informed her of her failed attempt.” Asher was the first to speak, and I was glad that it was him.“CEO Obed is not a fool, Wife Leslie. He knows that he may be a suspect at this moment, and he will be ready to defend himself.” He added, and the king nodded in agreement. Kara as well supported the Manager, but she didn’t want to admit it, probably because of the feud that existed between the two of them.I saw the displeasure written in her eyes the moment I asked her to call Asher for me, but she refused to tell me what made them enemies when I asked. “If I didn’t know you any better, I would have thought that you were afraid of CEO Obed,” I said to Ash
