Selena's POV
My body was shaking nonstop, fear and confusion have taken over the best part of me.I sobbed in sadness while I remained in the cage like an animal just like the rest.My throats had grown dry, I was so hungry but I felt sorry for myself aswell.People didn't seem to care that we were in cages, they only passed us and someone only smiled in an unusual way at us.They were dressed in awkward manners, like in the 80's.I threw my face away, I felt so embarrassed to have people looking at me like that in such state.Suddenly I heard the loud blare of a trumpet.My eyes widened at once.I forgot that I was in a cage and tried to stand but ended up hitting my head on the cage.The people in the cage with me burst into laughter, that wasn't funny to me at once."Shut your dirty mouths up!" The man yelled again, he had thus fury in his eyes.The trumpet blared again.It wasn't a pleasant sound at all.I plaShe led me into a room.It was beautiful but not as the one in Mr Chancy's house but it was better off than the one in my old house.I stood by the door while she shut it.I looked up at her face, I realized that she was a servant in the palace.She smiled at me."Do you mind having a seat? I know you must be so exhausted and hungry" she said.She looked beautiful with her hair packed in pony tail.Well I noticed that most maidens that came with the queen to the market had their hair tied up in pony tail and they were dressed in shimmering clothes just like this maiden standing before me.I moved over to the seat and sat down.I couldn't deny that I was very much fidgeting.My hands and feet were constantly shaking.She smiled.She moved over to a pot made of gold and scooped out some water from it with a small cup.She walked up to me and handed it over to me.I looked up at her face.She nodded with a broad
Selena's POVIn few minutes I was done eating.I wiped my mouth with the napkin gulping down enough water down my throat.Everything in the tray tasted very delicious, it was more like the fruits had a different taste to the usual and normal tastes I know.Nina smiled at me."You are so good with food" she said.I gasped."I don't understand you..." I said.She smiled."I only meant that you like food" Nina answered.I rubbed my hands behind my neck nervously."I was only very hungry, I haven't eaten well in a long while now" I said.She nodded."It's okay Selena, I understand" she said."Let's go now, the queen awaits you" she said stepping out of the room.I followed her behind humbly with my hands comfortably placed in front of me just like she placed hers.She closed the room.I could see maidens dressed just like us walking up and down the hallway.I bowed my face staring down on the floor
Selena's POVThe queen cleared her throat.I looked up at her and noticed she was still looking at me.I lowered my gaze at once while I kept twisting my fingers on each other.I was so nervous and couldn't wait to leave her presence.I was feeling very stupid at this point cause I didn't know what to do and what not to do.Alot of things which were okay in my country was totally wrong in their Kingdom."Listen up Selena..." she said to me.I looked up at her."Keep your silly face down!" She thundered.I almost fell from my kneeling position as I trembled."You would be assigned to take care of my son's chambers with the other maidens down there, I want my son to be more comfortable and always have the best" she said.I was silent with my head still bowed."Now listen to me Selena..." she said.The way she called my name made me want to laugh, she stressed the last part of it like she wanted to sing with the name
Selena's POV"The prince??" I mumbled this thought in my head.My eyes were every where, I wanted to see this prince of their whom I have heard a lot about within a little space of time.He walked into the room.A silver haired tall young man.His skin was so white, as white as snow.I gasped with my hands on my chest.I clenched tight to the edge of my blouse.I couldn't move an inch from where I was.He was the most handsome man I have ever seen.I didn't realize that every one have gone on their knees.The prince was staring at me now.I couldn't control this feeling burning within me.My face broke into a soft smile."Why are you still standing?" He asked.I was far lost in my thoughts, drawn-out of my present environment.The girl beside me pulled me by the arm.I was startled.I looked around and fear gripped me.Everyone was on their knees except me.I went on my knees at once.
Selena's POVI was asleep when I heard a tap on my leg.It was quick but the hands felt soft.I opened my eyes slowly.I gasped shivering with fear as I sat up on my bed."No...! It can't be, Anabelle you are dead" I said fidgeting.She smiled walking few steps away from me then she turned around."Am I really dead?" She arched her brow."Stella told me you were dead" I said in tears.Anabelle walked closer "you forgot about me so soon and allowed me to die."Tears streamed down to my cheeks "I didn't allow you die Anabelle, Mr Chancy lied to me, I was deceived all these while..."She placed her hand on my cheek "I miss you Selena.""I miss you more Anabelle, I miss you so much but I am stuck here, I wish I could go back and avenge your death" I looked up at her face.She smiled shaking her head."I don't need you to avenge me, I want you to have peace" she said.I scoffed.More tears went down my face "
Stella smiled from chin to chin as she watch Louis sip a glass of juice.They were sitting in a beautiful restaurant."You love this place don't you?" Stella arched her brow.Louis nodded "it's nice place."Stella smiled.Louis took a glance at his wrist watch, it was 8:00pm and he wanted to get excort Maryann home from work, they have been dating for a month now.Stella noticed a mood swing from the way he looked disturbed."What is it?" She asked."I... need to go pick my girlfriend from her work place" he informed.Stella raised brows with her eyes fluttering."Your girlfriend??" She asked looking surprised."Yes... my girlfriend" he answered looking a little confused.Stella laughed."So what am I to you? Your sugar Mummy?" She asked.Louis scoffed looking confused."No you're not, we are friends Stella" he said."Are you nuts?" She yelled.Louis gaped."Wait a second... all these while I h
Stella parked her car in front of Louis's house.She took a deep sigh turning to Louis."Guess what??" Her eyes glittered.He shurgged "what exactly do you want me to guess?She scoffed."Why are you so stiff?" She asked."Stiff you say? I am not stiff Stella" he answered with a frown.She hissed "anyways whatever is getting you upset is non of my business."He rolled his eyes "I am glad you know...""Yeah... whatever" she leaned closer to kiss him.Louis made a smart shift.Her eyes widened."And what are you trying to do?" Louis asked almost yelling."Why are you screaming? I am only trying to kiss you goodnight" she explained."I don't need you to kiss me goodnight" he opened the car and stepped down.Stella looked baffled."What is wrong with you Louis?" She screamed in anger."Nothing is wrong with me, it's obvious that you have nothing important to say, I would see you whenever I see you" he s
Louis got home looking very unhappy.He lay face up on his bed lost in thoughts.Stella's words to him kept ringing in his head.He took a deep sigh sitting up."How can she ask me to marry her?" He thought aloud biting hard on his lips."How can who ask you to marry her?" His mother interrupted.Louis was startled."Mother???"She smiled walking into his room."I am sorry if I scared you" she said."You really did..." he placed his hand on his chest.She shurgged "I am sorry, just that you came home looking unhappy."He stood up from the bed taking off his jacket "it doesn't matter mother, I am fine.""If so then who is asking you to marry her?" She asked.Louis was silent."Are you going to start lying to your mother now?" She asked again staring at him.Louis bowed his head for a while and sighed.He removed his shirt and hung it aswell.He sat down on his bed wearing just his shorts and sin
