On opening my eyes this time around, I was hit by total darkness. It was so dark that when I raised my hands, I could not see them, and the more I realized how completely dark it was, the more fear began creeping in on me. It was not one that I feared the dark but the feeling of the unknown in my current situation had me feeling scared. The unknown of what happened to me, why my body aches from head to toe, of what they did to make me be in such pain, of what might be lurking in the room that I have no awareness of. But most importantly, the unknown of not knowing the identity of those that took me as I could still remember how the guard that took me changed into another person before me. But one thing I was sure of was, they weren’t Dante’s enemies but were one of those that were after me. Hence I needed to get out of here. I need to find a way to escape from here. Though I didn’t know yet who it was that was behind all this, I didn’t want to wait to know because I knew that no m
Snickering, I looked him straight in the eyes, “And I will say it again even though you think otherwise, I am not yours. I’m not a possession or property that you think that you can just come from nowhere to claim and take away.”“Well too bad you think like that I’m not going to continue this argument with you.” He waved his hand dismissively at me before taking slow steps toward me.“Bringing us to the reason why you are here, if I’m not wrong, you already know just from seeing me.”“I… I don’t know what you are talking about. Why am I here?” Of course, I did, but I chose to pretend not to know.He looked at me suspiciously before saying, “Is that so? Or you are just pretending not to know but seeing as you are close to the Lycan and how you went into hiding after our meeting, I cannot help but think that you do. Well, it doesn’t matter if you are or not I will let you in on it.”Fear gripped my heart once more at this, as he reminded me of my association with Dante because if he kn
I knew I got them with that and continued, “Why should I eat the food given to me by my kidnappers? How sure am I that it is not poisoned?” “No ma’am, it is not poisoned. We would never try to poison you.” One of them turned to reply to my question. “Why should I believe your word for it?” “That’s because you are of importance to our master.” She simply stated before turning around and leaving the room with the other maid. Perplexed at the way the two maids had just treated me, I snickered and walked to the food they placed on the table and saw that they’ve placed various sets of continental dishes on the table like roasted chicken, cream potatoes salad, chicken wings with chili and garlic, buttered potatoes, baked mushrooms and spinach, macaroni cheese, Corn & Cauliflower Soup, Chicken & Cheese Salad, Paneer Steak, Eggy Bread, Batter Fish, Corn & Raw Mango Salad, Barbequed Chicken, French Fries, and Pancakes. At first, when they came into the room I didn’t notice the number of di
I carefully crossed the expanse to inspect more and ensure I was alone before rushing to bolt the door and lock it securely with the key twice. They say I’m safe but can waltz into my room anytime they like without any warning at all. I shook my head in irritation and tried to keep from bolting out the door. I walked back silently and shut the door to the shower, all the while thinking of how to get out of this place. Perhaps it was a plan to distract and get me to be comfortable or feel less threatened than I should actually feel in this compromising situation. I could agree that I had never reacted normally to situations such as this but did they think I was going to just jump on the bed set in the room and feel at home? Taken and separated from my children? Thinking about my children had me immediately on my feet and pacing around the large room in anxiety. Were they worried? Were they safe? Were they taken but kept in a separate room? Were they going to use me and my children a
That’s not right. I open my eyes and look up, way up to see a large blonde man with grey eyes, a squared jawline, and broad shoulders. I stepped back in initial fear but his eyes softened and he opened his mouth to speak when a throaty voice interrupted. “Good day, miss. How may we be of help and where in particular did you have in mind to go today?” I tore my gaze away from the man before me, who stepped back to give me space and looked to locate the owner of the voice. My eyes widened because they looked exactly alike! Squinting my eyes in bewilderment and puzzlement, I realized that they were twins! Looking closely, I realized the one that just spoke had two piercings each on his frontal lobules (earlobes). “Aren’t you both just beautiful?!” I sputtered in awe. The one who I saw first, coughed and caused my eyes to avert from his brother to him immediately. I saw his ears gradually but surely turn red and I laughed out loud before realizing what I said. I gasped in shock and co
I flinched in defense, subconsciously curling into the men behind me as they warily took position to defend me.“Tch...Tch….That’s no way to greet your brother-in-law, Princess.”My skin curled at the nickname and I couldn’t help but scoff loudly as I slowly untangled my fingers from the front of Darius’s shirt. Trying to ignore the feeling of dread that washed over me as his deep hoarse voice teased my sensitive ears and grated on my nerves.I all of a sudden didn’t understand why I should be scared and timid. Sure they were not human but then, FOR GOD’S SAKE, I didn’t BEG to be in this situation. So if they opted to bring me here, against my will (dare I add), then they could as well comfortably put up with whatever attitude that situation births.I’m adding one thing to my plan right now. And that’s the element of surprise. They will never get their desired reaction out of me anymore, therefore, becoming unpredictable and harder to attack.In the span of 10 seconds- I had restrate
*** Zane couldn’t help but roar as he paced his office in frustration. Why did he have to always be surrounded by incompetent people?? Abruptly, he paused and in three strides his long legs ate up the distance from the large window in his office to his desk, it was this window from which he used to overlook the whole kingdom so he didn’t have to walk around. The tall wide windows extend beyond the exterior and interior wall but sweep away from the wall in a graceful arch of five windows. The elegant window has more glass area but stops at about 24 inches and is finished and emphasized by a vinyl dado panel, decorated in gold and brass. Zane stopped at this desk, banging it in frustration before picking up his office phone and barking out commands. In less than 2 minutes, the large office door burst open and people flooded the office. Dylan and Darius walked in cuffs, looking a little bruised and rough with 4 four more guards accompanying them, the three maids that were in the dini
A doctor rushed out of the ward and to his office in worry. He had to be right. He couldn’t help but pace for some minutes before picking up his phone to place a call. He rushed to the door, opened it, and stylishly looked outside the office to observe and check if he was alone. He went back in fearfully and realized the person he was calling had picked up. He sighed and hurriedly said hello before rushing out to explain, “Something is going on here! I’m bothered because I feel that this is blue blood in the theater! Please relay this to the boss, brother.” “HELLO…brother.” The doctor dropped the phone in dread and could feel his heart in his mouth as he dropped to the floor. The door opened and a man entered the office with a smirk on his face. He continued to talk into the phone. “Brother, won’t you talk to me now? What EXACTLY should I tell this...BOSS? The doctor started to sputter and choke in fear as he scrambled to the corner of the office. “S..sir. I mean Y...Your h...h
