“I want this journey to not end if only we could keep going until we have explored everything.”“That would take a lifetime and even a lifetime is not possible to explore every area.”“That is the whole point Caspian, for this journey to never end.”“I did not think of it that way.”“I have always wanted to go to different places from where I was raised, even our journey back to the palace was a thrill for me as I had not been anywhere besides where I grew up.”“Do you believe that your father might be on the lookout for you?”“No, not all he has never acknowledged my existence and he is not about to start now. If was searching for it would be to execute me as he would have figured out that I helped you escape. I’m probably labelled a disgrace and a traitor.”“I’m sorry that you did this all to help me.”“It wasn’t to only help you Caspian, it was a way out for me, to have the freedom I have always craved and to be away. I was desperate that I would have gone anywhere but stay there,

Caspian had heeded Douglas’s words and he had told Rurina that they would not be stopping until they were in the clear.All he had was faith, and hope that he would find her, he felt sick at the thought of her not being where he thought she was.Only time will tell when he goes to the destination if she is there or not. The day progressed bit by and when noon arrived they were searching for an area where they could eat as they were famished.They stopped by a stream, and the scenery was spectacular, now he could see why Aurora had loved being out here, one did not want to leave.He knew by now that they might be looking for him back at the palace and he hoped that they would believe Douglas.He had left them notes, explaining to them that he needed to breathe as the palace was a bit suffocating for him. He had told his mother she was in charge of making the final decisions until he came back and resumed full authority.“Are you worried about back home?” Rurina asked him.“A bit, I don

Evening came and Caspian lay on his bed, but sleep alluded him. He could not find a sweet spot on the bed. He kept on turning but he was not finding a comfortable position.He was not finding it, he got up and got dressed. He went outside and he went back to the forest path that he walked with Aurora.The moon was full tonight and it cast soft light, the breeze was warm, how he would love to walk with Aurora during this moment, he wanted to share it with her.He remembered her words, as long as they were under the same moon they would find their way back to each other.He stood in the middle of the forest, he would never forget the moment when he had turned and saw Aurora walking down to him.Caspian came to realization that he knew where Aurora might be, why had he not thought of it earlier. He went raced back to his chambers and he took out a scroll, he was going to leave soon to go find her.He prayed that she would be where he thought she was. The next morning Caspian summoned Dou

Caspian waited for Douglas to come with Aurora’s friends, he could not go himself as that would raise a lot of speculation.It might also reach his mother and Nadia’s ear, he heard the door open as Douglas led them in, when they saw him they all seemed to be frightened.“You may leave,” Caspian said to Douglas as he went out.“You all don’t have to be anxious, I did not call you all to berate nor to punish you. I wanted to ask about Aurora, and you all don’t have to keep your heads down, you may look at me.”He could see them lift their heads, and their hands were clasped in front of them,“I wanted to ask if you knew where Aurora might be?”They all shook their heads in unison,“Do you have any idea where she could have gone to?”“No, My Lord, before she left, she was ordered to not speak nor see us.”“Who ordered you to do so?”They all were silent at his question and he knew that they were probably afraid if word got out they would get punished.“You do not have to fear anything,”

Caspian turned and Nadia stood there, “I thought you had retired to your chambers.”“I was waiting for you.”“Is there something worrying you?”“I have been meaning to have a chat about a few things on my mind,” Nadia replied.“Of course.”“Can we do this at your chambers?”“I would rather we go to your chambers.”Nadia seemed to be overjoyed with his suggestion, “I will lead the way then.”They walked in her chambers and he saw that it was different but he really would not know as he spent most of the time at his chambers or at Aurora’s.He sat by the table, and she sat too, “I know we haven’t had much time to ourselves as you have urgent matters to attend to as the king but I was hoping we could bond again.”Caspian was too tired for all this, why could they not discuss it in the morning?“How so?”“We can select activities that we love and we share them with each other,” Nadia replied.“That’s a sound plan.”“Do you have any suggestions?” Caspian could see that she was hopeful, did

Nadia’s parents arrived, and he, Nadia and his mother stood in the forefront as they were being welcomed.“Caspian, we never thought we would see you again.” Nadia’s father held him at arms-length.“It is wonderful to see you again Sir.”“No need for formalities, you are my son and I will make your father proud.”Nadia’s mother came up to him and smiled, “Thank you coming back to Nadia, we do not know what would have happened if you would have not been able to return.”“Thank you, I see who Nadia takes after.”Greetings were exchanged and they all made it to the dining area that was prepared, and mead was served as everyone got comfortable.“Before we all have a drink, I would love to raise a toast to my son Caspian who was given back to us and the time when he was most needed. A toast to Caspian.”They all raised their glasses after Nadia’s father’s speech, “Cheers.”The night set off, and there was so much chatter, the room was full of guests yet he felt alone, sad and the mead was

She now sat in between Paige and Meghan,“He did what?” Paige asked.At this moment, she did not give a rat’s ass if they could hear them. “Yes, she is in there with him.”“He thinks it’s a joke that he keeps playing you,” Meghan replied.“Honestly, I’m not even supposed to be mad. He did break up with me.”“It’s okay to be upset,” Paige replied.“I initiated most of those conversations.”“What do you want to do now?” Meghan replied.“I don’t know. Kelsey asked if I could leave but Chase refused.”“I think he enjoys tormenting you,” Paige replied.“Right, he seems to be the possessive type, and on a power trip,” Meghan replied.“I just need to work on catching the person that is causing all of this. I don’t want to stay with them or else I will lose my shit watching and hearing them.”“That’s tough, maybe eating together won’t be that bad,” Paige replied.“It is. We had dinner and it was awkward. Chase barely talks. Kelsey is strict, just a disaster.”Her friends listened to her as sh

They got to his place, and she went to her room; it was a bit awkward after the hug, but after unpacking her things, she lay in bed.What did those people want from her, and what power did she have? Did they know her? She tossed and turned a bit.The conversation and the hug kept on creeping in. She grabbed her phone and texted Jeremy that she would see him tomorrow during lunch.Storm wanted to let him know that she wanted to be his girlfriend. There was a light knock on her door, “Come in.”Chase walked in. “Are you going to say yes?”“I’m not getting you?”“To Jeremy?”“Yes, it’s not like you want me.”“Okay, he is good for you and reliable.”“You were all those things for me, Chase.”“I know, but I’m not as steady as him.”“You were, and even now, you come out and protect me whenever I’m in danger and you make sure that I’m safe even now.”“I will always be there for you, no matter the cost.”“I missed being in your arms.”Days had gone by and the night with Chase was forgotten an

“Who was that?”“No one.”“I’m not going to ask you twice.”“I really don’t, but I could sense them.”“What did they say?”“That I have some power and they will tell me later on.”“You aren’t planning to go alone, do you?”“I don’t know.”“You’re not that fucking stupid.”“I don’t want to fight now, Chase.”“Don’t you remember that someone is after you and you were injured?”“I know that, but maybe it is not them.”“You’re coming back to stay with me.”“I don’t want…………..”“I don’t give a shit. I need to watch you 24/7 so you don’t some stupid shit.”“No.”“What did you say to me?”“NO! You want to use your title and position to bully me. I don’t want to be around you anymore and I want to move on from you.”As Chase was about to come to her, she double-lunged and landed a blow. It caught him off-guard, her training was paying off.He looked at her with a smirk on his face and came to her as she tried again. He had her pinned on the ground. “Those work on others but not from me.”She

Chase took hold of her hand and placed it on his bare chest, “I’m real.”“Why show up now?”“Why must I not? Did something happen?”“Yes, Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend.”“And what did you say to him?”“He said I should think about it.”“Is that why you’re drinking?”“Yes, out of guilt, I should have said yes, regardless.”“So why did you not?”“I don’t know.”“Clearly you don’t want to be his girlfriend.”“And how do you know that?”“You wouldn’t be here drinking.”“I will say yes when I see him.”“Fine, do that.”“Aren’t you at least a bit jealous?”“Why would I be?”“I’m your ex.”“So? You were the one that wanted to leave my place so badly.”“You were the one who dumped me, Chase, and I told you I loved you.”“So you wanted me to lie and tell you that I loved you back?”She swallowed a huge lump. “Part of me wanted you to, I guess.”“I see how much you wanted me.”“You’re the one that made me love and lose my mind, and you know that Jeremy is not the reason why we broke up.

"You said that it was just sex.”“It was.”He let her go and she made her way to her room. He still had the power to hurt her with those simple words.Dinner time came and she was seated opposite him. The air was very tense. She had nothing to say to him.“Are you still mad at me?”“No Chase, I’m not. I don’t have anything to say to you.”“I see, so you’re mad.”“You know what? Everything in my life does not revolve around you. I want us to capture whoever is behind this.”“You want to leave that badly?”“Yes, I can’t wait.”“Fine, I will have to upgrade the security and when that is done, you may leave.”He walked away and left her there. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and went to her room. After a week, she was ready to go back to her place.Chase was not there, and she left. Part of her had hoped that he would ask her to stay, but he did not. She had not seen him the past week at all, after their chat about her wanting to leave.She finally went back to her place,Storm sat on

Storm made her way out and was glad that Chase had not heard her heading out, the alcohol and sleeping late must have knocked him out.She went and met up with Meghan and Paige,“Thought we would see Chase behind you.” Said Meghan.“He is passed out.”“He must knocked out if he could not hear you leave,” Paige replied.“Yep, I don’t know what happened, but he was pissed and broke glasses, and downed down some whiskey.”“Damn, must have been pretty bad news,” Paige replied.“Did you ask him what it was all about?” Meghan replied.Storm told them everything that had happened between,“So he wants you to be the other woman, a secret?” Said Meghan in shock.“Pretty much, made me furious too.”“So, do you know the girl he will be marrying?” Paige replied.“Not yet but all I know is that it is an arranged marriage.”“How are you taking it?” Meghan replied.“Hurt of course, but he was jealous, that Jeremy and I kissed.”“YOU WHAT?” Paige replied.She told them about how she hung out with Jeremy,
