"Now, ask," he demanded right after I woke up and was about to confront him. I know that he's expecting me to ask right away and yeah, that's what I was about to do, actually.
"Who... Are you?" That words just came out of my lips and I don't even know why I asked that. I know him. Yes, I know him as my man- the heir who's planning to take his family down because of their evilness but now, everything has changed and I think I don't know him anymore. He seems to be a completely different person that I don't know when he was actually with me for a while now.
I don't know... It just feels like I've been lied to. It seems like I've been blinded by the truth and those whom I hate are actually the ones whom I should trust. That the things that I've been believing in this world are pure lies which I was unable to figure out for I was only believing a specific thing which I think was the truth.
I have been hatin
Cayden decided to introduce me to his father again without hate. I guess our first introduction and first impression of each other really is an awkward one and it's not good at all.I don't even know how I'll face him after that. Maybe I've been somehow polite yet it's obvious that those were all fake and I don't know if he knows that I have no idea about them that time.I don't want my man's father to have a bad impression on me. It won't surely leave my mind and will bother me every time I'll meet him so might as well talk to him again without me thinking bad things against him and wanting to kill him.I can even remember everything that happened that day and I don't think my attitude that day is nice at all.Well, that's also because of how his father acted at that time. I guess he really is that cold and sarcastic for me to prove that what I know was right and he actually
Family... That's what they offered me yet I'm having a hard time deciding whether to accept that or not.Since the day my own father betrayed me, my definition of family changed. Back then, I see it as everyone's home and safe place, but now, I think it's nothing but a name. The family isn't the ones you should trust your life with because just like everyone, they will betray you like no one.I've been there and maybe my own experience made me kinda bitter about it. It's just that having a family means being comfortable with them but what if you got to the point of your life where it became a threat to you?Maybe not everyone experienced that or maybe it's just me that's feeling that way. I've closed my mind already for any explanations.For a few days of staying here, the family that I judged- the Vasileìas gave me another impression of them- a positive one, and there
"So, you're here, huh?" A deep voice behind me asked and that made me statued on where I am standing. For a year of staying with him, I already know.his voice and I can and will never be mistaken.How did he even get here and how the fuck did he manage to enter the palace's vicinity?I immediately turn around, wanting to make sure if I'm right and there I saw him again- not with his kind and an angelic face but a devilish one which I have never seen on him before.It's him- that old man whom I treated as my father because he really is but then he just gave me misery and betrayal.But no... How did he get here? How did he manage to pass through the security? This can't be happening now!He smirked at me when he saw my puzzled and worried face so I made my expression hard and brave for him not to see that I'm surprised to see him here.&nb
"What's the matter, mi Reina?" Cayden asked me the moment he noticed my worried expression."He's... Here," I said, didn't bother to tell his name yet he immediately got it and that left him a hard yet worried expression just the same as mine the moment I saw that old man again."Who?" He asked even though I know that he definitely has an idea whom I'm talking about."My father-" that's the last thing I said before I saw him walk out of the door without even letting me know where he'll go but I know that he'll just inform his parents about what happened. He didn't even bother asking me what he told me but it would be better to talk about this with everyone.We won't waste our time from now on or else he'll have his own way faster than ours.Honestly, I have no idea what I should tell him and how I should approach him. We've bid each other our goodbye
It opened. Yes, it did. At first, I thought it won't for the first time my hand landed on it, it created an irritating and unknown sound which I think is part of the explosion that will happen because I failed- we failed.That time, I was ready to accept that I failed and so as ready to die with everyone here but when the door suddenly opened, that's when my hope came back, I was overwhelmed that finally, everything will now come to an end but no, I shouldn't celebrate this early yet. We haven't seen the Clepsydra yet- if it's still here and I hope it still is.My father should not get a hold of it anymore or else all of it will be messy again.I am the first one to step inside the room and there I saw an hourglass-shaped container with lots of tubes connected to it. There's nothing in this room except for that but no one tried walking towards it aside from Cayden's father.He
Damn it. My head feels like hell and it feels like I'll be sick any moment from now when I haven't actually drunk any alcoholic drinks for a while now.I just feel so dizzy. I freaking want to vomit everything that I ate and that made me run towards the bathroom.I just continued puking even though I felt a presence behind me which I think was Cayden. I felt him hold the hairs that are covering my face and caress my back softly."Mi Reina? What happening to you? Are you hurt? Do you want me to call a doctor?" He asked worriedly but I shook my head as a response and cleaned up."No... I'm fine. Maybe I just ate something bad yesterday," I answered but that's not actually what I think it is. Lately, I kinda feel something different in my body and I don't know if this is good or bad.I don't know. I don't want to admit it but it doesn't mean that I don'
"No, Heszhia! You need to stay here! I can't let you risk yourself and our baby for such a stupid decision!" Cayden exclaimed when I told him that I'll fight. I still can manage to do that even with this situation of mine. I trust myself."But-""No buts. You'll stay here and won't come whenever we're planning," he said and left the room with me still standing on where he left me.My most fearful moment has come. A war will happen again and this time I'm part of it- I want to be part of it yet Cayden won't let me. There may be a huge chance for them to win but everyone knows that they are the evil ones. My father has poisoned their minds already and if they will engage themselves in the war, then they will be fighting against the Vasileìas whom they think as the other way around when the truth is they'll be teaming up with the real culprit in this misery that we're experiencing.&nbs
"Hello, my gorgeous daughter. Missed me?" He asked wearing his smirk and that made me step backward; my breathing hitched and that made me observe my surroundings and find out that I'm away from Cayden and from everyone that I know."Dad- oh, should I call you Trevon? After all, you don't deserve being called dad. You don't even deserve being a father because you never acted one," I said insulting the hell out of him I want to get on his nerves. I want to see him lose his patience with me but he doesn't seem to be affected by that, rather, he just laughed at me which I didn't expect will be his reaction but well, what should I even expect? He's insane after all.And yes, I already know his name. Maybe he didn't tell it to me back then but it isn't hard to know."Thanks for that compliment, my lovely daughter but I'm not here to have such a conversation with you. Goodnight for now," he said but I know wh
