Eight hours since the jealousy drama, eight hours since Kyler walked out of the dining room alone, and I sat down to eat everything I could.But his words were nestled on my skin, my brain, and every part of my body. I remembered them all too well. However, he looked disappointed to be called a monster, and now I think about it. That's why he was named a ruthless and evil king. He was cunning and full of deceit.EARLIER."Jealousy? You're mine, Isabelle, I own you," he catches my wrist and pulls me to the table, and I sit. Before I know it, Kyler spreads my thighs apart, and I hear my dress rip. "Every part of this body, your breast, eyes, ass, and those sweet juice are all mine," his hands crane to my neck, gripping it slightly and forcing me to face him, "Your lips are mine, your soul and body is mine, you let any man touch you, he would be dead and buried and you, tied to my bed to remind you whose Queen you are," "I'd like to see it. Watch you murder your men. I'd like to see the
"I'm telling you, she's mad at me. What do you want me to do? I can't stand it," I release my arrow, "She asked me if I loved her, and I told her honestly, I do, but she said I lied," "You caused it... you never do that, using Isabelle to hurt Victoria, and you did now, she believes it," Kesem replies, walking to pick the arrow while I push another in."I hate her with Victoria," I lower my bow and turn in the direction of the gentle footsteps."Sire, we received a report," Perry says. "Concering the man looking for Her Majesty, we traced him to the palace, but Victoria got him first, and I believe the words he said were true, partly, he is Her Majesty's boyfriend," he sighs. Jealousy, I remember Isabelle's words because it's crawling in me as Perry reports. "They were lovers," I swear, if he says the word, 'LOVERS' again, I'd have his head hung in the market "But he went on a mission and got stuck since he was injured, he returned after hearing about Lake downfall," "But we are mar
After seeing Leon again for the first time in months, I had an upset stomach, and I don't even know if I was excited, annoyed, irritated, or happy, but I know I was surprised."Your Majesty? Are you okay?" Ayn called for me while I vomited all my wine and food. Gosh, Victoria, the only reason she's still here is because I allow it. I know that well, but I can't even order her out. My conscience won't allow me to. Guilt would eat me up if something ever happened to her.I stepped out of the bathroom, and she immediately handed me a napkin, which I used to wipe my mouth. I walked to my bed and sat by the edge, staring at the clear blue sky. Damn Victoria, I thought maybe I could annoy her, but she rocked my world by finding Leon. I should be happy he is alive. I am. But I hate he has to see me with another man, and I know Kyler won't let me go so easily. No, that's not the problem. Is it Kyler, or I won't let myself go easily? I sighed heavily without knowing how I put Ayn, Kia, and Bet
"Isabelle," I broke the kiss, but my hands gripped her waist tightly. I swallowed, staring at her.She looked around, and Kesem and Perry had taken Leon away the moment she kissed me. "I'm sorry," she said, trying to slip out of my arms."Sorry? For what?" I ask, holding her even tighter. "For kissing me? Or for using me? I don't mind Isabelle," She lowers her gaze, sucking on her lower lips, "I mind," she says, her eyes dancing around my face, "I mind when you use me," she replies. Of course, I know what she means, and I know what she's talking about. It hurts me more when she brings it up."I'm sorry, Isabelle, words can't explain how sorry I am for saying that,"Her hands caressed my face, and as always, they were soft, smooth, and warm. "Don't..." she swallowed and exhaled, "Please don't hurt him, I beg of you," she says softly and struggles out of my arms. The moment I let go of her, she walks away without looking back.ONE WEEK WITHOUT SPEAKING TO MY WIFE, I have almost lost it
It's been a week since I saw Leon. Days passed, and I secretly watched Victoria. She hadn't made any move but made friends with ladies around the palace. Most didn't even know she was an ex-queen. It wasn't my business.The tournament was in an hour. Ayn walked in with my gown for the first round. The second I heard was tomorrow morning, and according to Ayn and Betty, it was that time of the year when ladies fell in love and sent out secret love letters to knights and men they admired. I have heard their excitement nonstop for one week. What I didn't expect was Betty being over the top."I'm going to make you the prettiest at the tournament," Betty says excitedly. "Other ladies are going to make themselves pretty so they can get attention from the warriors, but every warrior would be focused on the Queen since the tournament is in your honour, my queen," she says, adjusting my lipstick. "So you have to look your best,""I'm married, Betty, I don't expect any man to look at me," "It'
ROMANTIC, THEY SAID, I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE WITH Kyler in the ring, giving me blood pressure, and my hands are glued to my chair handle. Who suggested he open the tournament? I'd like to have their head, let alone be involved with a sword challenge. Gosh, he got my heart running away. I haven't seen Kyler hold a sword against anyone before, apart from piercing a knife into Victoria. Shit, I have to admit, he is so hot, but it scares me whenever his opponent gets him. However, Kyler won the first five rounds he fought in. He keeps winning, and I don't think he would be coming to sit beside me anytime soon.The winner of the sword battle gets to have a dance with the queen at this night ball. And I can tell he is trying so hard to be the one. I don't mind, but I need him safe first. "Final round! And we have His Majesty! Kyler Castiel and Leonard Jones!" I almost lost my grip and slipped from the chair I was sitting on. I know it's not possible, but what in the hell is the announcer say
"The assassin must have been very skilled with knives, Your Majesty. The cuts look shallow but deep," I shook my head, staring at the dead bodies. It isn't doing any good for my head. "Send their names and their families if they have one. I'll go through it tonight and send my regards. The palace would hold a funeral for them," I say, walking out of the room.I needed to return to Isabelle as soon as I could. I can't bear leaving her alone. I have no idea if I am their target or Isabelle is their target."Also, send the most important documents to my chambers. I won't be using my study, and send more guards to ky study; however," "Yes, Your Majesty," Perry says. "I'm sure they are still in the palace, so make sure the guards are observed. Also, block the main gate. No one goes out or comes in. We have to catch that person," I say, and I am almost close to my chambers when someone catches my attention. A blonde, he looks different," "Is something wrong?" Kyler asks, and I blink, lo
I lost count of how many times I asked Lee to pour me wine. She started off frowning at him, but now, she's smiling so hard, and I hate to see him see that side of her. Not that I don't want her smiling, but not to him.It didn't take so long for my ass to get up and walk towards them, but the music stopped playing. The closer I get, the more I see Isabelle smiling at me."Hey," I call, and her hands wrap around my waist, staring at me lovelyly. "You're one impatient man. What am I going to do?" She says, smiling. I can see her set of white teeth. I don't know what it is, but staring at her from this stance makes me more impatient, and I want to leave. Heavens, she's too cute."Should we leave?" I ask, but she pulls away, shaking her head."I have to see my ladies. I'll be back," she says, slipping out of my arms. Another thing that pisses me off is that she slips out of my arms when I'm not done embracing her."Drink?" I hear behind me. It is Nash, Huh? I turned around, and Cade was
