Theo PalaceJasmine's PO.V."You did a fantastic job, my little girl."Zachary praised me and I smiled at him in return. But the pride I saw in his eyes for me turned made me emotional. Tears welled up in my eyes so I immediately shifted my gaze to the floor. But unfortunately, Zachary had noticed that."Hey, Jasmine? Are you okay? Is that Theo giving you a hard time?", he inquired but I was surprised by his angry tone.I shook my head negative and cleared the tears off my face, "No, it's just. Since I got here, I had only been offered insults and scolding. After so long someone appreciated me and showed me concern. Don’t worry, it’s nothing,” I grinned and kept wiping my tears.Zachary turned silent at my response. I peeked at him only to find him staring at me with a sorrowful expression."Please don't berate me again that you did warn me. I know that already-""I won't Jasmine."He immediately cut me off making me frown.Zachary then snuck in a breath before looking into my eyes de
Flashback Contd…I sneaked a glance at Theodore who was looking no less than a predator. If looks can kill, I would have been six feet under now. But I need to act smart or they wouldn't wait for a second to behead me.Mustering up some courage, I pushed George with all my force making him land on the floor. He looked at me in shock as he was caught off guard. I then stood up on my feet and shouted at the top of my lungs."IS THIS THE WAY THEO DYNASTY TREATS WOMEN? WHAT IF I AM AT FAULT BUT DOES THAT GIVE YOU OR YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER TO MANHANDLE ME AND HUMILIATE ME IN THE COURT OF JUSTICE JUST BECAUSE I ENTER A PLACE WHICH WAS FORBIDDEN!!"Tears kept embracing my cheek but I made no attempt to wipe them and kept glaring at the man of dreams with accusatory eyes. I then shifted my eyes towards my in-laws whose faces reflected discomfort and guilt. My response turned left them tongue-tied and I knew that they were ashamed to face me. Christina was also crying along with me while Christi
"ROSE, I AM ASKING YOU ONE LAST TIME, WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU CHASING THAT INTRUDER?"Calix roared and shook Rose violently but as usual, he got no response.Once that intruder absconded, Calix continued questioning Rose about his identity but she didn't open her mouth not even for once. She kept mum the whole time, infuriating Calix.Pushing her away, he screamed in frustration. He was trying hard not to hurt her although his demons were compelling him to let them out. Her defiance was not only making him angry but sad that even after staying with him under one roof for so many days, she still doesn’t trust him an ounce bit. She was hiding a stranger from him and was trusting him more than him. He could be dangerous but she was ready to opt for that risk rather than expose the truth to him.Running a hand through his unruly raven hair, Calix took a deep sigh before looking at Rose who was staring at the floor quietly."You want it to be done in a harder way, fine then. Let me enlighten
Rose jumped to her spot when she heard the same familiar voice that had deprived her of her peace. She slowly turned behind only to confront the same pair of purple eyes."Y-You? W-Who are you?"Rose asked nervously while her eyes ran over her gothic features making her heart shudder. The girl was dressed in a gaudy purple dress that had a deep plunging neckline revealing her large bosoms and a high thigh slit. Her lips were coated in black shade and her long, wavy silver hair was flowing in the air. She was wearing knee-length boots and purple gloves. Her aura radiated dominance and malice.Rose trembled at her sight. That time she had only seen her eyes, she didn’t know that her savior would be this scary in appearance. An uneasy feeling crept into her chest.“Trusting these demonic creatures is equivalent to digging your own grave. They could be our enemies who are finding ways to get to us.”‘What if he is right? What if she is an enemy?’, Rose vaguely wondered. Calix’s words had
Diana's P.O.V."Only one chapter is left. I will complete it by this week,"Closing the book, I leaned my head back on the chair and closed my eyes to relax my mind.Initially, I thought to reveal the truth of this library to Zachary but later dropped the idea because he wouldn't let me enter here again. And I will be again chided for risking my safety.But the main reason behind this was Zachary's brooding nature. Nowadays he's too tense and gets angry at the smallest things. Though Zagan had lost all the previous wars with Zachary instead of surrendering, he would double down his efforts and come back with new strategies.Also, I think that this library isn't such a big issue. Moreover, I ain’t a child who needs permission for everything. It's only a library, a place which would never hurt anyone.I always sneak into here and come back to the room when Zachary is about to return. The best part is that he hadn't become suspicious by now. Also, I don't want to give him unnecessary trou
*Slap* Jasmine palmed her left cheek and let out a cry when she received a tight slap from her elder sister. Rose lost her patience and again slapped Jasmine as she was beyond angry after hearing the whole story of how Jasmine tricked everyone to marry the future king of Heaven. Not only that, she was too mad to get Theodore that she didn’t even think twice before making a deal with Zachary who helped her in escaping. Rose further threatened Jasmine to tell her about Theodore and his family’s behavior with her and having no choice, Jasmine told her everything in detail. How she spent her days and nights in this royal palace with tears and pain. Rose was enraged by Theodore and George but the fact that her sister whom she had raised with her own hands destroyed her whole life because of her selfishness hurt her more. And that hurt only took the form of raw anger. She continued scolding Jasmine who took everything silently. "I-I am sorry" "SHUT UP!" Rose harshly cut her off making
Jasmine and Rose remained rooted on their spot. With bated breaths, they slowly tilted their heads to the left only to find Theodore standing there along with George who was staring at them smugly with his hands dipped in the pocket of his pants.Jasmine was scared shitless but her eyes widened when it hit her that they didn’t enter from the door. Rather they came through a secret door that was hidden behind the bookshelf.“How come I didn’t even realize that there was a secret pathway here?“, Jasmine muttered under her breath, her hazel eyes still stuck on that metallic door. But the ground slipped beneath her feet when Theodore replied to her.“Because you were too busy fabricating your new plans with Zachary.”He knows.He fucking knows.Her heart stopped. She was doomed. Now he will throw her out and she wouldn’t be able to do anything. She fucked up really bad.‘Damn me’, Jasmine cursed in her mind and looked here and there frantically.Rose clenched her jaw and glared at Jasmine
"You came as a light only to push me into darknessI thought it was love but it was only a way to sate your madness""Princess"Zachary called Diana as he entered the room and closed the door, locking it. Taking off his cape, he threw it on the couch and started to unbutton his shirt while his eyes kept scanning the room, looking for his angel. Eventually, his calm expression turned hard when he couldn't spot his wife in the room."Diana?"Zachary again called her but received no response. Anxiety rose in his heart. He immediately ran to the balcony only to revert to the room as there was no sign of Diana, anywhere."PRINCESS!!!"Zachary screamed at the top of his lungs. His wife was nowhere and he knew she wouldn't have left the room as he always locks the door before leaving."Fuck!! Did someone come inside and took my Baby away? No, this can't happen. No one has the power to break the seal."Mumbling, he again started looking for her everywhere. But apart from the room and balcony,
