Masuk~Ava~“Dad!" I muttered in shock and stood up abruptly from the bed.He kept glancing at the girl and then back at me.He adjusted his glasses to see clearly before walking in fully."Ava.” He called and hurried over to the servant sitting on the floor."She is bleeding.” He continued."What happened here, Ava? She is bleeding.”I was confused at what to do next and prayed silently for a thought to cross my mind.I have never been caught off guard without finding an escape. This present situation won't be an exception.“Tell me what happened here." He yelled and turned to the girl, glaring at her for her to speak up.But I found my voice before the girl could speak.“She tripped and fell, breaking the glass of water she brought for me in the process.”My father shot her a cold stare, like he was going to tear her apart the next second.He hated it when people destroyed things. He didn't care if it was a family member, and worst still, this situation involves a servant.He will never t
~Ava~I bardged into my room still fuming from my encounter with Nyx.She just made my day a mess!A complete mess. What happened there was far from what I planned.I paced around my room and suddenly felt suffocated.I looked down at my hand, realizing I still held the bag Nyx threw on that disgusting floor.I tossed the bag to the floor, and let out a loud hiss.I looked at my palm; the injury was still there; I only managed to tie a bandage around it, to prevent the blood from dropping down.Still in pain, I clenched my fist tightly as I burned in anger. The incident still left me in a rage as I recalled what Nyx just did. And for no reasons, I noticed my heart was skipping like I was in big trouble.“How dare Nyx humiliate me!” I said to myself.This whole drama was all because I needed her help.I slumped into my bed, still in thought on what to do. "How do I get a solution to this?” I asked myself calmly.I needed to do something real quick before I loose everything.I was about
~ Emilia ~I didn't step out of my room the whole day. Ivy came back to apply the ointment like she had said earlier and returned in the afternoon when she wanted to serve me my lunch.I ate almost everything she brought, because I was so famished at the time she came.I decided to sleep when my head began to bang and then woke up now to realize the day was almost over.I tossed on the bed, still feeling very tired and exhausted, like I had been working the whole day.I reached for my phone under the pillow, and I was shocked to see the time; it was 4:56 pm.I rolled out of the bed, not feeling the pains I felt on the leg before. It means the ointment worked perfectly and the hot water too.I owe Ivy dearly for the treatment she applied on the leg.She really outdid herself to make sure I was okay, and it worked.The leg isn't healed completely, but at least almost all the pain is gone.I sat down on the edge of the mattress and supported my body with the bedframe before standing on m
~Emilia~“Ivy!" I screamed, jolting backwards as the water threw on the floor.She stepped backwards, her hands raised to the air in confusion."I'm so sorry, Luna Emilia; I didn't mean to throw the water on you.” She fell to her knees and began to plead.But this was not my problem. The water was no longer too hot, so it didn't amount to any injury, just that parts of my shorts were wet and the ointment washed off completely from my leg.My main concern was where my phone was beeping earlier. I was sure it came from her direction, but why would Ivy have my phone to herself without giving it back?“Please forgive me, Luna Emilia; I will apply the ointment again." She continued to plead.“I know, Ivy; you didn't do it intentionally. You can now stand de…" I didn't finish the sentence when the phone beeped again and I grabbed Ivy by the wrist.“My phone, where are you hiding it? It beeped now and in your body. " I yelled, but her next reaction was even more shocking.Ivy freed her hand
~Emilia~Luckily, I met Ivy almost immediately after I left Adrian's room as she helped me walk back to my room.She was deeply sorry for what happened and said she was coming back to treat the wounds.Telling lies isn't just worth it. I have gotten myself into terrible pain because I have lied this whole time, and now it's time to face the consequences of my actions.I lay flat on the bed, waiting for Ivy and thinking about what happened in Adrian's room.My cheek burned in excitement when I remembered the way he carried me from the floor to his big comfy bed.The way he looked at me when he saw me trying to open his dresser.I must say, Adrian knows exactly what suits him well.The tattoo on his chest suited him perfectly, as did the earrings and the way his hair was always styled.I began to wonder if he was really a human or maybe a lost god.He must be among the angels sent to save the world but refused to return when he finished with his own assignment.He looked too beautiful t
~Ava~Nyxaraia's laughter echoed round the room as the papers burned.She stared at me and didn't stop laughing; she even made the laughter louder when our eyes locked.I clenched my fist in frustration, suppressing the anger that was crawling up my spine. Nyx has pushed me to the wall, and if I didn't punch her right now in the face, my body wouldn't be at rest.“Watch them burn, Grayson." Her laugh echoed louder as she slid the lighter into her pocket and began to clap.She stopped clapping and stomped out the fire on the money with the sole of her shoe and then spat on it severely.She watched the smoke evaporate into the air before she cleared her throat and walked over to where the half-burnt paper lay on the floor, dropped to her knees, and picked it up.She scooped every piece of the ashes into her palms and walked back to where I stood."Here, Ava.” She smiled and grabbed my wrist, opened my palm, and stuffed the money into it.“Here is your money, Ava. And this…" She grabbed
~Ava~How do you scream the loudest when every one of your plans is falling into place?Take a deep breath, Ava. You have your whole life planned out perfectly.I burst out laughing and proceeded to get the second copy of the printed contract agreement.Once Adrian signs this, his life will be ruin
~Adrian~I forced open my eyelids after covering my ear with the pillow for the umpteenth time.The plan was to have a full-time rest till midday, but the buzzing sound of my phone didn't allow me to do that.I didn't reach for the phone after I opened my eyes. I turned severally on my bed then ki
~Adrian~Just like I’d expected, the priestess said the death of the royal court lady was also part of the curse.I wondered if Austin had urged her to say that before I came out. Because the two of them wouldn't stop pushing me to mark Emilia.It was just looking like they both had it planned. I
~Emilia~I noticed how the guards and servants looked uneasy and in a haste to do things when I went for a little stroll around the pack.Ivy didn't come serve me my food in my room like I had told her to.I barely saw her today, just in the morning when she brought my food.And I noticed something
