After my little talk with Mara, my supposed well wisher, I found myself beside a tree."Thanks for revea...ling..." I turned around but she was gone."For revealing the truth about Nedan" I whispered, the remaining of my sentence."Where have you been?" I saw Kally running towards me.I could tell she has been worried for me."I went to admire the place, let's all go back to the palace" I told Kally and we walked to Verin."Where were you?" I heard Verin's husky voice. He looked like he was offended."I...I went to take a look around, sorry for disturbing you both" I immediately apologized.The ride back to the palace was awkwardly silent, even Kally refused to talk.I noticed she was taking glances at me and felt like saying something but couldn't.When we were alone, I quickly took the opportunity and inquired what happened between she and Verin in my absence."Nothing, I mistakenly provoked my brother so I had to remain quiet" Kally replied."Oh...What did you do?""Nothing, I just

Verin watched Nayla, his mind going in circles.His heart racing, and palms sweating.Staying alone with Nayla wasn't good for him. He didn't know what is going on with him.He looked over at the pond, not talking to Nayla.Nayla turned her horse around and head to a tree.Her mind was in chaos as well. It wasn't long ago she found out about her husband's atrocity."Like I said Nayla, don't get too worked up. You're only confusing yourself the more" her well wisher appeared in front of her.Nayla jumped down off her horse and walked towards her well wisher."You're always appearing when I need you at times. Thank goodness you're here" Nayla pouted."I want to come clean Nayla. Come with me" her well wisher stretched out a arm for her. The woman led her to a tunnel, Nayla not saying a word.They reached the entrance and the woman entered."Where are we going?" Nayla asked, baffled a little."Don't be baffled, step into this tunnel" the woman instructed."But I don't..""You don't trus

Nayla stared at Verin, her heart pounding loudly.She felt quite hot as Verin approached her instead. 'Why did Kally say this?' she almost cried to herself.Kally was on her own horse already and same with Nayla.Rather than asking for his horse, Verin climbed behind Nayla."Let's go out for a ride" he said, brushing his breath against Nayla's back neck."Uhh...uhm V-verin" Nayla stuttered, feeling embarrassed."What is it?" He asked, as he grabbed her waist gently."C...can you get your own horse instead" Nayla told him, shyly."Nope, I want to ride this horse with you." He told her, firmly."But-""You're still my maid, and this is an order" he told her, strictly.Nayla turned around to stare at Verin, showing her dislike on what he is doingVerin smirked as he stared back at her. The two just kept staring at each other.Kally watched the both of them, and giggled inwardly.She had never seen Verin being this cheeky with any woman before, not even Kera.She had noticed Verin, stealin

It's been weeks since Nayla found out about her husband. Nayla patted Kally as she rested on her lap.They were both enjoying each other's company, in the warm afternoon, inside Kally's room."I'm sorry, my husband caused you so much pain. I will do everything within my strength to make it up to you" Nayla said, stroking her head softly."It's not your deed, Nayla. At least, I'm lucky to meet a good being like you, since the past few days. You're truly good Nayla" was Kally's soft reply."Don't say that, I'm not perfect. I only wish the best for everyone around me, since my arrival here, I have longed for my friends and I think I found them in you" Nayla said, smiling"Then I am lucky to be called your friend, Nayla. Thanks for helping me get out of my traumatizing past. I had never thought I'd forget about those memories" Kally almost teared up"I'm happy that you're forgetting about it, please don't try to remember it. Do you want to go out for a walk?" Nayla suggested."After lunch,

...Nayla staggered, reeling with shock as those words escaped Verin's lips.Her husband? Her Nedan was the one whom Kally said was her enemy?"Don't be surprised Nayla. Your husband Nedan is a foolish human king who doesn't know how capable of a monster I could be" Verin said, walking towards Kally.Verin held his sister's shoulders and took her to Nayla's front.Taylor held Nayla's shoulders, gently so that she doesn't fall."My sister here had a friend in Nedan's kingdom that she went to visit... Your foolish husband, grew into liking her and decided to defile her, so heartlessly! I had to go against my own rules and teach that scoundrel a lesson..." Verin said, his hands tightened on his sister's shoulders as he watched Nayla's appalled face.Nayla couldn't speak, her mouth moved but no words came out.Verin, full of restraining anger took his sister away from Nayla and turned around to leave.He sees Skyler and gave him a hard glare. "You're a fool Skyler, a big one!" Verin mutt

"Ahh, that was fun!" Nayla screamed, as she spread her hands wide, floating on the water.Kally saw she was enjoying herself so she decided to do the same. She also spread out her hands and closed her eyes, letting her get used to the soothing water.It was warm, which was strange because it was a cold night.Skyler and Taylor served as the watchmen, guarding the girls."You're not talking, since you saw her right?" Skyler asked, looking at Nayla."She's beautiful, you didn't warn me. I could prepared myself to be even more goodlooking tonight" Taylor said, his hands in his pockets.His eyes were greatly fixed on Nayla the whole time.Skyler only looked at Taylor, a smirk on his face but he didn't seem pleased by what his friend had said.Not that he didn't want Taylor not to admire Nayla, but he was worried because if his friend should fall for her, he would only get hurt in the end and Skyler knew why.Skyler knew Verin had fallen for Nayla, and there was no place for anyone in Nay
