Chapter 27: A LetterVisheia's POVHis words shocked me like a sudden storm stopping me in my tracks. But then, the weight of his betrayal sank in, and I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Damn, that's funny," I managed to say. His plea for us to reconcile felt empty. I had given him all my loyalty and love, yet it was never enough. I felt like I couldn't meet his standards.He was the last person I thought would hurt me. I trusted him completely, believing he would never betray me. But he did, leaving me feeling foolish and deceived. I had no clue he was hiding something behind my back."Don't lie to me," I told him, my voice filled with pain. "I'm not Vishiea. If the rumours are true, then maybe being alone is what you deserve. Own up to your actions. You hurt her, didn't you? Then deal with the consequences," I said firmly, staring at him with a mix of hurt and determination.He deserves to feel the pain he caused. Every time he reached out, I was there, no questions asked. But whe
Chapter 1: Sign of Eternal LoveHer POV“Once upon a time, there was a princess named Cassie. She’s beautiful and lives in a high castle at the top of the mountain. She was happily living with her father and mother, the king and queen of the kingdom. One day, when she turned thirteen, she met a handsome man,” Their eyes grew with curiosity.“Is he a prince?” One of them asks me. I slowly nodded and smiled, “Yes, he’s a prince from another kingdom.” Another kid raised her hand.“What is his name?” I chuckled. Such a curious child. “His name is Prince Jasper. He’s handsome and brave.” They giggled; they probably liked his name.Another kid raised her head, “What happened next?” she asked innocently. Sure, sweety, I read the book again.“She met him at her birthday party. They talk, play, and laugh together. Since that day, Prince Jasper always visits her to play. They grew up together and then slowly fell in love,” I said with a big smile. All of them smiled widely and giggled.“But the
Chapter 2: Anniversary GiftVishiea’s POV“Can you postpone your work tonight?” I asked him calmly while caressing his hair. He removed my hand from his hair and shook his head, “I can’t. I need to finish this before sunrise,” He replied without looking at me.I close my mouth shut, “But…” He stopped what he was doing and stared at me. “Look. I’m busy, can’t you see?” I close my mouth again and sigh. I bit my inner lip, “But it’s us….” He glared at me.“For God’s sake, Vishiea! Do you think I’m joking? I’m damn busy and can’t grant your wish now!” My jaw dropped. He changed. He had never yelled at me like this before.I messed his hair and leaned back on his chair. “Look, I’m tired. I can’t take you out tonight or what.” Okay then. I slowly nodded and stood up.“Take your time then,” I bowed and started to leave. When I reached the doorway, I looked back. He’s looking at me. I smiled at him and nodded, “I’m sorry.”He didn’t say anything or even chase after me like he always did befo
Chapter 3: The BetrayalVishiea’s POV“How could you do this to me?” I asked in disbelief and took a step back. The woman quickly pulled the blanket to cover her naked body. While he was on the other side, he just remained silent while looking at me.Why he’s not talking? Isn’t he guilty at all? I closed my fist tightly, “Talk to me. Explain this shit! What are you doing, Darius? Really? On our anniversary?” The girl’s eyes widened in terror. I glared at her. Everyone knows about our relationship. That Darius and I were mates. But she still agreed to hook up with him!I bit my bottom lips and tried to calm myself down. I didn’t think he could do this to me. I thought I was the only one he wanted to spend his life forever. I thought he would never hurt me.The woman attempted to leave, but I stopped her, “Hang on there. Don’t you fucking dare to leave!” I warned. She looked down and hid in a corner.I glared back at him. “Please, say something, Darius. Don’t make me upset like this,” W
Chapter 4: Farewell, MotherVishiea’s POV“Your father was held for trial, and your mother… she died,” I fall to the ground. My world seemed to crash when I heard him say that. What? I looked at him in disbelief. No, not my mother. I just saw her this afternoon. This can’t be real. None of this is real!“Vishiea!” I glare at Darius. I quickly stood up and left. I don’t want to hear anything from him.“My lady! Don’t drive!” Our butler worriedly stopped me. I looked back and shook my head, “No, I need to go home now. Don’t worry, I’ll be safe,” he couldn’t do anything but nod his head. I got inside my car and drove towards our house.When I arrived, I saw more than ten warriors escorting my father out of our house. His eyes were filled with tears. He is murmuring my mother’s name, “Cynthia”.I rushed towards their direction and hugged my father even if the warriors surrounded him. He cried hard when he saw me.“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Your mom…” He sobbed. He’s the bravest man I’ve e
Chapter 5: Her PromiseVishiea’s POVMy father placed his arm on my back and pulled me close. Today is my mother’s burial, and my father managed to attend, but the royal warriors surrounded him. This is the first time I have seen him since he got arrested a few days ago.The sky is dark and gloomy. It looks like it will rain. And I was not mistaken; the heavy rain poured after loud lightning and thunder. Tears kept falling as I looked down at my mother’s grave. Even on her last day, Darius did not show up.I wanted him to come and ask forgiveness for my mother. But I’m just hoping that something will never come true. He’s not even guilty at all for hurting me, cheating on me on the day of our anniversary. Another sigh escapes from my lips.After this, my father will return to the palace for his last trial.

Chapter 6: Her New Identity Vishiea’s POV “Vishiea? Are you ready? Miss Kiara wanted to see you now,” I heard someone say behind the door. I took a deep breath and sighed, “I’m ready; just wait for me there,” I replied and stood up from the chair. With one last glance at myself in the mirror, I approached the door and opened it. I saw Dylan’s face. I know he’s sad, but he’s masking his genuine emotion with his smile. I raised an eyebrow when I saw him only staring at me. “What?” I snapped. He grinned and was about to mess up my hair, but I stepped back. “Not my hair, idiot. Where is Mother Kiara?” I asked. He laughed softly, “All right, fury. She’s on her room’s balcony. Waiting for you,” He answered. I nodded, “All right then. I’ll go ahead and meet her,” He nodded. “Sure, but let me walk with you.” Even if I declined his offer, he still did what he wanted.
Chapter 7: Mainland Vishiea’s POV “Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?” Dylan asked me while helping me to pack my clothes. I shook my head, “No, I can manage. Just take care of her. Mother Kiara needs someone to look after her, and I can’t do that now,” I answered. He let out a sigh, “Okay then. Please be safe.” I will go back to the mainland tomorrow. Mother Kiara receives an invitation from the palace. They were celebrating the Blue Moon Festival—an annual festival I used to celebrate with my mate… oh, ex-mate before. “How long will you stay there?” He asked again. I stopped folding my dress and looked at him. I don’t know. The festival will start tomorrow and until next month. Which festival will consume three weeks, I think? But I will stay there longer if needed. “Vishiea?” “Oh, probably a month or more. Depending on the situation. If
