Chapter 1

CLARA Breathe Clara, Breathe. This dress made me feel like I was trapped in a tube. I guess that's why it's called a tube–dress, my sister had insisted that the bridesmaids all came dressed in the attire for her wedding. It was quite hard being in the dress, almost to the same degree the meticulous task of actually putting on the dress.A tight sleeveless dress, hugging my body in the right places and showing off my curves. It was for this singular reason Cassandra had opted for the tube dresses, she said the dress was capable of bringing out the sexiness in everyone, and she wasn't wrong. It was a flowy satin, with a sleet that went up above my knee and a sweetheart neckline that dipped low enough to show an appropriate amount of cleavage. "Clara, you better be down in a minute! The limousine leaves for the ceremony in fifteen minutes!" A loud yell from my mother shot from downstairs, her tone thoroughly dipped with urgency. "Yes, Mother!" I responded and then returned

Chapter 2

CLARA"Do you, Prince Roberto, take Cassandra Williams, as your lawfully wedded wife? To love and cherish forever, till death do you part?" Jared, Roberto's handman, who served as the officiator of the ceremony asked. Prince Roberto looked at me, taking my hand into his. His gaze softened as a smile brightened his face. "I do." He said and cheers erupted from the numerous attendees. Everyone was happy, smiling, jubilating, everyone except the bride – or can I even call myself that?Those two words of his echoed in my mind as a swarm of guilt gripped my heart, accompanied by a wave of uncertainty and fear. "Do you, Cassandra Williams, take His Majesty Roberto as your lawfully wedded husband? To love and cherish forever until death do you part?" The million-dollar question shot at me, firing a billion bullets at my heart. I swallowed nervously, looking up at Alpha Roberto and feeling my insides tremble. Every fiber in my body screamed at me to yell 'No' and run out of the hall and a

Chapter 3

CLARAI sat in the garden, my fingers deftly working the knitting needles as I hummed a soft tune. The breeze was gentle and cool, rustling the leaves of the nearby trees and carrying the scent of blooming flowers. For a moment, I was lost in the peacefulness of the garden, enjoying the quietude that enveloped me.But then, I saw him. Roberto, my 'husband', approached me with a bow and arrow in his hands. As soon as I laid eyes on him, my smile faded and my heart quickened its pace. I didn't want to see him, let alone speak to him. He strode towards me with purpose, his eyes focused on me with a bright smile on his face. I tried to ignore him, but he stopped in front of me, his presence looming over me like a cloud. I could feel his eyes on me, his gaze piercing through me."Cassandra," he said, his voice deep yet still calm. I frowned, my knitting needles stilling in my hands. I didn't want to talk to him. I didn't want to be anywhere near him. Reluctantly, I set my knitting aside

Chapter 4

CLARAMaria’s words rang in my head as I paced in my chamber. It had been three days since our last encounter, and it was as if he had disappeared entirely. I hated it, but I felt worried about him and ashamed even. I wanted to fix things with him, but I wondered if I even deserved it. Furthermore, I had treated him horribly as if he were the one to blame for my sister’s running away and the mantle being placed on me. Likewise, I had been foolish and immature in my way of handling, most women wished to have the kind of husband I had, one that was kind and patient even when he felt upset. The sound of the door being swung open captured my attention. “Still no word of him, Maria?” I asked, turning to face her, trying to make my tone as calm as possible even though I felt as if I was losing my mind. “I am afraid not, your Majesty.” She said her tone a bit grave, her attention on the floor. “If what I am hearing has any accuracy to it, then I believe he traveled for some serious busin

Chapter 5

CLARA. The maids scrubbed my skin so hard, I could still feel it even after the bath was done. I sat in front of the mirror as they began applying essential oils to my skin and dressed me up, in the white one, as I ordered. After we were done, I dismissed them all, put on my robe, and left my room as I made a beeline for the one directly across. My heart pounded heavily in my chest as I made my way to his room, different thoughts swirled around in my head. *What if he doesn’t want you?*You ruined your chance with him, and now you think attempting to warm his bed will change that? Pathetic.I shook my head in an attempt to get them off my mind as I focused on the task around me. Maria was right, I did not have to try to be someone I was not. I did not need to feel so tensed about this, I should just be myself and let everything else play out, however, it was not my duty to change what happened in the past, but I could change the future, our future. I got the door and immediately

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Whatever pain he must have been feeling and whatever doubt I had been having was out the window. All that mattered right now was the both of us. Me, laying naked and glowing amid the bed sheets. He, looming above me and drowning me in the swirls of his warm deep brown eyes. "Cass, are you sure you want this?" Roberto paused and asked. "I wouldn't have taken my dress off myself if I didn't". I looked from his eyes to his lips and back to the eyes and the lips. I bit my lips seductively, not breaking eye contact with him. "Oh damn it". And he slammed his lips on mine. The warmth of his lips on mine sent all my senses flying. And slowly, his lips moved against mine. It felt like heaven and earth had collided, time had stopped and everything else had transcended into nothing. It was just Roberto and I, wrapped in our cocoon of love and passion. Love. Did I just say love? No! I couldn't love him. Not yet. I wasn't his Cassandra. I was Clara and it was Cassandra he loved, not

Chapter 7

I stared at the dress in front of me. It was a shiny bright blue sleeveless dress, tight on the upper part and free from the waist down. It stopped just at my knee. The back was open up to my waist with a large rope that could be tied into a bow at the center. Following it was a glimmering silver mule heels and a silver necklace with a diamond pendant, to match with an earring. Roberto had had the tailor send it in in the morning. The dress was two, one a body hug from bust to knee, the other, the one I picked was the flair. Roberto said the blue color matched with the color of my eyes. Roberto. At the thought of him, I smiled. Since two nights ago when we had sex, we skyrocketed into unending bliss. A knock sounded on the door and I stilled. Who could it be? "My Queen". I smiled. Roberto. I opened the door, all smiles. "Your Highness". I shifted to the side so he could gain access to the room. "You're still not dressed. Having problems with fitting it in yourself?" A smile was

Chapter 8

CLARA Being in my position was hard, very hard. I had to shake hands with nearly everyone and smile at everyone. The ladies, I hugged them. Some of the males that came to greet Roberto and I didn't accept handshakes, instead, they chose to kiss my hand but Roberto would scare them off with a growl. What's with the big bad Alpha King? Not like I'm his mate or something. As much as I felt really bad all night for two reasons, I had to maintain my composure. The first reason was that everyone that came forward to greet Roberto and me referred to me as Luna Cassandra. At a point, I nearly lost my sanity. Cassandra! Cassandra!! Cassandra!!! She was living her best life, mine was taken away from me. Yet, when I was trying to adjust to this unplanned life, everywhere was Cassandra. Reminding me I didn't belong here. I felt like an imposter. Roberto thought he married Cassandra and I, Clara, had to play along! Pretend to be Cassandra. The second reason of course was Roberto. Since the incid

Chapter 9

CLARA Yesterday had rolled by and Roberto had not even bothered to call me. Who was I kidding? He didn't even have my contact. I paced the room up and down, wondering what to do with my day. It wasn't easy being stuck in this giant mansion with nothing to do but use my phone, watch movies, or sleep. Then my mind went to Roberto's letter. He had left his credit card saying I could go shopping wherever I wanted and spend whatever amount of money I wanted. The funny thing was, I didn't even need the dresses, what did I even want to shop for? I needed to do something fun. I stared at the sweater I was knitting which lay on my bedside table. It was a bright yellow. Reminded me of summer but funny enough, summer wasn't a time for sweaters. A maid came to announce that my breakfast was ready and I changed into something comfortable to go downstairs. There goes the greetings again. I answered as much as I could. The rest, I nodded as usual. "So Maria. What interesting thing do you think

Chapter 10

CLARA I didn't know when a loud gasp escaped my lips. The men turned their attention towards the door and I quickly dashed back into the room, my mind racing up and down and thinking of how to escape the mess I just got myself into. Did I see what I wasn't supposed to? Would I be killed because of that? Surely they won't unalive me. I held onto the piano, backing the door and trying to still my breath when I heard the door open. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" My breath hitched. Oh, dear Lord! I swallowed the huge lump that had gotten stuck in my throat and it made a loud noise. "You heard me and you definitely don't want me to get to where you are". I closed my eyes, praying to the moon goddess that this cup would pass over me. I felt a hand gripping my arm, a gun pressed to my back and I was turned over. "Who are you?" The man's face was hard and scary. He wore a black suit with a black shirt. The gun was still held tight in his hand, his finger dangerously near t
