The bathroom was beautiful. The shining mirrors, the beautiful glass windows. The big bath. I started going inside the bathroom, admiring and gaping at the comfortability he had made.He was truly a man of enjoyment.I stood by the bath, still admiring. It was filled up and covered with foam. I was starting to get a little bit tempted but I managed to hold my ground. No no Nayla, you can't afford to backslide. My hatred for him had started to disappear a little but I was still his maid. I chose to be his maid. I shouldn't be like this.It was against my values. I wouldn't find myself loving or pretending to be loving someone because of the comfortable life he would provide for me. I want someone who would make me happy and know how it feels to be loved. To me Love surpasses all comfortabilities in the universe. Suddenly I felt strong hands holding my wrist as someone emerged from the foamy water. It was Verin.The way he had come out of the water startled me that I jumped in fear.

..."Nayla, are you perhaps chanced. I'm feeling bored, could we knit together?" Asked Lyla. I had just put little Bella to sleep, she was much more calmer than before. Maybe because she knows her parents were coming to fetch her back and she was so ecstatic about it. "Yes sure." I replied.As we were going to Lyla's room, I suddenly bumped into someone."Rana!" I screamed with joy and surprise. "Nayla! How are you?" Rana's eyes started to well up."I'm alright, how are you here? Why are you here?" I asked, confused but my happiness overshadowed them."I'm a servant here" her head fell low as she stared at the floor.I was bewildered. My friend was spared? "You weren't killed?" I asked Rana."No. Alpha Verin spared my life. He only made me to become one of the maids here"I was surprised. Verin could actually spare her life, despite her being the maid of his enemy?" I'm still on serious observation. The maid's head is seriously keeping an eye on my every move" she told me as if sh

"I, myself couldn't do a thing. Many days passed, and my sister wasn't found. I sent for people who would look for her and one of my men told me they found her body. I went there and it was really her. She was mercilessly killed by those people. It took me days to get over my sister's death. Then, I decided to give her a befitting burial in honor of her.After the burial, Bella also became missing. She was missing for two whole days. Worry was eating me up, but thankfully I received a news that the Royal palace are in custody of a small child. I made my research and found she was the one, so I came here." Explained Bella's uncle.There was a deafening silence. Gosh, Bella had really gone through a lot.I couldn't help the tears as I looked at the child. Why must she go through this? This world is full of cruel people. "If... You don't mind, can she stay... here a little... longer, till she gets better at least" I requested, stuttering a bit. Verin stared at me for a while before he

She was dumbstrucked. This thing that was happening to her made her mind go hazy."I am here to help you through your journey ahead of you. You are no ordinary. But you need to discover yourself"the woman answered." Help me how? Journey what? Ordinary? I'm all confused?"" Don't overwhelm yourself with confusion. Let's just let Destiny do it's work for the time being. For now, let me know what bothers your soul" she said, voice so gentle.Nayla found herself calm. All the questions slowly flowed away from her mind. She found herself, letting out her burdens to the mysterious lady. Meanwhile...In the underground part of the palace, stood a very dark and eerie looking room.It had been secluded from the outer palace because of some mysterious reasons. A veiled lady slept on the floor.Her face was covered by the veil. Her hair was spread out like a flower that decorated the floor. Her caramel smooth skin, shining along with the candles that was suddenly lit up. Lyla walked away from

"So to fulfill your quest for teaching me a lesson, you endangered a little child you're so pathetic" Nayla angrily said" Oops, did I make your little goodness plan failed " Kera did some puppy eyes and blinked them, like an innocent kid." Your Majesty, I know where Bella is " Nayla had her eyes fixated on Kera as she shot her a dead glare.She had grabbed the men's attention and Verin asked her, a little confused."Tell me where she is?" Was his response"But Nayla, if you knew where she is, why bother the entire palace about it. You could have just get her" Kera blinked her eyes again, pretending to be confused as well "Don't play the confused one. What is it? Yes, Luna Kera. Why don't you tell us where she is? "Nayla wanted to prove to Verin that it was Kera behind the disappearance of the little girl." What do you mean? That I'm behind her disappearance? " Kera pretentiously asked, like she was confused"Where did you hide Bella? Please tell us all" Nayla started to beg." Sh

"Bella, would you like to stay with Luna Kera for the meantime?" I suddenly asked, cutting her off from what she had been saying.She had been telling me about the fun rides at the carnival cruise she had gone to. "Yes, but where are you going to?" She asked, confusion evident on her face."No where, just need to take care of something""But I thought we would spend the time together. I had a lot of things to show you" said the little girl as she bowed her head and stared at her hands."Don't be sad. I thought you liked Luna Kera? Isn't she now your friend too?" I tried to cheer her up."Yes she is but I thought we would both spend some time together""I have work to do. I'm a busy lady" I placed my hands on my waist and straightened up my face like a serious busy lady I claimed to be."Indeed" Bella laughed at my actions.Though that was what I wanted.As we strolled down the beautiful crystalized staircase, walking hands in hands, I saw Lyla and Verin as they spoke at one corner.Th

"But Verin, you know I don't like it when one of your mistresses talks back at me or even dared to insult me but Nayla did. And she's just your servant girl!""She's still a Queen, you know. Besides, she must be hurting as well. She lost her husband" Verin calmed her down as he explained to Kera.Kera was surprised.Verin is supporting Nayla over her? Wait.. is he really serious right now."Are you really still going to choose her over me?! Don't talk to me Verin.Don't talk to me" she hissed as she crossed her hands over her chest."No, I'm just trying to be humane and a little considerate. Nayla lost her husband, because of me. I killed the husband of the woman whom... I don't know why I have some usual feelings for. I'm starting to feel guilty" he simply said."Wait wait wait" Kera adjusted herself to face Verin and faced him.So... He was only feeling guilty right? So he doesn't really have any feelings for Nayla right?"You're just being guilty Verin. Don't be. You did the right t

"Who's there?" Nayla asked but got no response. She looked through the keyhole again but saw nothing, and the lights was unexpectedly put off.The pitchy state retroverted.She recollected her vertigo and buckle under the realms of unconsciousness...."Where's Nayla. Please Your Majesty, take me to Nayla " cried Bella.She stood at the door of his room, hands folded together in front of her and her head facing the earth. She was scared of him, she was scared to vex him but her fear and need of Nayla was taking full control of her little senses that she couldn't hold the urge but ask.Since when Nayla was taken away, she had cried bitterly. She blamed herself for everything that just happened.The maid that took care of her in Nayla's absence consoled her but she was still feeling guilty and scared."It isn't your fault. Lady Nayla would be back okay. Just have a little patience" said the maid."But... But the King was so angered that he let them take her away and it's because of me.
