“FUCKING DAMN IT!!”Diana flinched on her spot when the door burst open revealing a raging Zachary. He kicked the door shut with a loud bang. The impact was so strong which made her wonder how come the door didn’t break by his powerful kick? Her insides churned in dread when her gaze landed on his shaking form. He looked mad, very mad.Diana stilled on her spot and dared not to move a single inch when he prowled inside the room but she couldn’t stop the scream that left her mouth when he picked up the chair and slammed it against the vanity, shattering the mirror into smithereens. The shards of glasses went flying across the room and some went straight at her. Diana quickly shielded herself with her arms and cowered back in fear. Her heart was hammering in her mouth. Her doe-eyes pooled with heavy tears as she had never in her life encountered such violent outbursts. The poor angel was already hurt by his behavior and now his wrath only piled up the layers of her fears.The room sudde
Diana was staring blankly at the beige-colored walls. Her gaze kept flitting to the mahogany door as she waited anxiously for his arrival.It’s been more than two hours and there was no sign of Zachary. Diana was nearly on the edge of losing patience. The maid who brought her dinner also had no clue about the King’s whereabouts. And out of deference to his commands, she couldn’t step out of the room.But now her patience had started wearing out.“URGG!! WHERE IS HE??“, Diana screamed and jumped to her feet.“Fine then. I am going to sleep now. I am done with him,” grumbling she stood up to the couch and pranced to the bed. Her eyes once again shifted back to the door. Diana stared at it for the longest time. Finally, the dam broke and she let out a painful sob.“Damn him!!” She started crying while cursing him in her mind. Zachary had nearly crossed all his limits of hurting her. First tearing her gown then berating her listening to his mother now when she wanted to apologize, he left
Zachary entered the courtroom with heavy steps. His mind was a mess but he was good at masking emotions and wore a straight face before looking at Orkus and Calix who threw him a warm smile. But their smiles were whipped the moment Zachary ignored them and strutted to his throne. Slipping in his grand chair, he looked up before speaking in his deep voice.“You called me Dad?”Orkus analyzed his facial expression silently. He looked incensed. But why? Wasn’t he with Angel?Brushing off the unnecessary thoughts, Orkus cleared his throat and spoke softly, “Son, I wanted to meet my daughter-in-law. I know things weren’t good before but now let’s make a start fresh. Like a family,” he emphasized the word ‘family’.Zachary narrowed his eyes at him. He studied Orkus keenly but didn’t find any signs of danger. His father genuinely looked happy for him. That’s when his face softened and he nodded, “I will bring her to you one day.”His answer caught Calix’s attention, “What do you mean? Zac, y
Theo’s PalaceTheodore was standing on the balcony, his ring-cladded fingers curled on the iron rails as he stared at the orange hues sprawled in the sky in a daze.He couldn’t believe that he touched Jasmine and not just touched; he made a move at her. A move that could take their relationship to another level. The thing which Jasmine always wanted.Damn.He let out a shaky breath when that intimate moment flashed in front of his eyes. The way he plunged his fingers and fucked her virgin mouth. He let lust overpower his senses and got carried away just like that. Where was his self-control? Just how could he let Jasmine affect him so much?Heat rushed to his neck and crept on his cheeks recalling that intense night. It was so deep and passionate. Her soft petals felt like cotton candy, he wondered how would they taste? And how that seductress sucked his thumb, the emotion was deep and raw that made him go insane.He wanted to feel it again.His eyes abruptly shot open. Theodore stumb
“And then Arthur taught me the right techniques of fencing.”Diana spoke while caressing the rose petals with her slender fingers. Her lips were curved in a small smile as she lived her beautiful childhood memories in her mind.Confined in the King’s room like a prisoner, Diana had nothing to do so she befriended the birds, squirrels, and plants of the castle to spend her time. Her relationship with Zachary hadn’t improved a bit instead was turning bitter day by day. Zachary initially tried to talk to Diana but when she kept ignoring him, he also lost hope. He would get mad at her, and throw tantrums at her silence but Diana stood her ground. She knew that Zachary didn’t intend to make her cry but if she keeps condoning his mistakes every time, he would never realize his fault.Suddenly her blue orbs noticed something strange. Streaks of black smoke were dancing in the air which when caught her attention, got accumulated into a small ball. Intrigued, Diana raised her hands and tried t
Zachary lunged at Diana which made her scared shitless. But to her surprise, he instantly pulled her in his arms and hugged her as if his life was dependent on it.“Never leave me like this,” he murmured in her ear and kissed her temple. Diana was flabbergasted. She could hear the wild thumping of his heart. He indeed looked scared which blossomed several questions in her mind.“I-I was right there, Zac” Diana spoke softly while rubbing his back.Zachary then broke the hug and cupped her face, “I am so sorry for everything. I promise I wouldn’t do this again.”He spoke with teary eyes and without giving her time to react, crashed his lips on her. Diana closed her eyes and grabbed his shoulder blades for support. Zachary poured all his guilt, sorrow, yearning, and pain into the kiss. Grabbing the back of her head in his large palm, he angled her head to get better access and started devouring her lips. Diana jolted in surprise when he snaked his hand down to her chest and squeezed cupp
Theo’s PalaceJasmine’s P.O.V.Rounding the corner, I took the stairs to the third floor. But before that, I looked around to look for any signs of danger before heading to complete my task.A task that was assigned to me by the Demon King.I ascended the eerily quiet and way too long stairs with a bated breath. My breathing turned ragged by the last step. I could have used my magical powers but what if that turns it on me? This place looks skeptical and I can smell magic in the air. I can’t take such a big risk. Sweat beads adorned my forehead which I wiped away recklessly with the sleeves of my golden color gown.But no sooner did I reach the forbidden floor, than my jaw dropped. I was awestruck.Huge pillars with intricate designs on them, flamboyant chandelier dangling from the ceiling, marble floors, walls adorned with paintings depicting the family tree of the Theo dynasty, and singing the praises of their valor. A snort escaped my lips as I watched all those paintings and heade
A month laterRose was in the garden, staring at the white lilies with empty eyes. The usual glow of her face was absent today and her beautiful smile was lost in the hullabaloo of the new world. Her life now seemed pointless to her. Her doleful face narrated her sorrow. Caged in the house of a Demon who claims to love her had only shattered her hopes to live again. She was simply breathing as Calix was mad for her. If she goes away from his eyesight, he goes crazy. She wasn’t allowed to meet Diana, and neither did she had the right to ask him about her sister, Jasmine’s well-being.A tear slid down her left eye and disappeared in the verdant grass on which she was currently sitting just like the wails of her heart which were always suppressed by the man who promised to give her the whole world. She failed as a sister and as a daughter. She failed to fulfill her responsibility. She couldn’t keep the promises she made to her parents. And this fact was eating her alive.Her relationship
