Down below, in the cool hum of her underground base, she walked barefoot across steel floors, robe trailing behind her like a whisper of fabric. Screens flickered to life as she approached.

She was supposed to keep whatever she was before a secret. Cursing herself with her stupidity, she got up at the break of dawn, showered, quickly dried her long blond hair, and tied it into a high ponytail, she got dressed in a one-shoulder gray sports bra with matching leggings and a pair of comfortable kicks, she stomped her way to the only gym in the compound. He knew she was coming, she caught a glimpse of him through the high clear windows facing the west end of his mansion. Awareness for him flowed through her, she gritted her teeth and she fought the urge to run from him.

And stood up, returning to the study room, she opened the secret hole beneath the floor. Looking at the dark hole, she took a deep breath, before leaping in.

She ran her hand along the damp bricks. There. A tiny crescent carving almost invisible beneath moss. She pressed it. The wall shuddered and slid open. Cassian stared. “You had a secret tunnel behind your fortune-telling stall?” She shot him a look. “Try growing up cursed in the Hollow.” Beyond the hidden doorway lay a staircase spiraling deep underground. The air smelled ancient. Old dust, cold stone, and sleeping magic. They descended in silence. Far below, the staircase opened into the chamber from her vision.

The muffled noises seem to come from under her pillow. Without waking her, I carefully reach over and slide my hand under her pillow. After a few seconds, my finger brushes along something. I quickly pull her phone out. Ding. A crease forms along my forehead as the notification flashes across the screen. The number is unknown, and I don’t recognize it. What is going on? I swipe across her screen and open her phone. Another notification from the same number appears with more unread messages. We have nothing to hide from each other. Yet, she hasn’t said anything about receiving these.

It was late at night, before her coronation as the crowned Princess of the Knostican Kingdom; her parents showed her the underground secret room which looked like a mini-library. The door to that underground room is on the floor under the big dining wood table. She needs to push hard, one floor tile and four tiles will hang down. It would be the opening door going down the secret room. Inside that secret room is another secret room, which can only be detected once the big wall painting of the King and Queen will be removed. Installed therein is a lock o

Well, I'm the fucking Devil, and I will make people roar in fear of me. I'll be the dark fog engulfing the room, with nothing to lose and so much to gain.

She had noticed that about a week ago, people had started treating her a little bit differently, but she couldn’t put her finger on why. Everybody had acted the same until she fell asleep, and then the next day, when she woke up, everybody was a lot nicer to her period, even though people were pretty nice to her in the first place.

The idea that she was being taken care of by some secret billionaire who had his own compound that was literally built into a mountain was almost hilarious to her period.
