Eira's POV “ I want to get scarfs,” I pointed at a shop that sold all types and designs of scarfs. “ Alright, we'll be outside waiting for you or would you prefer us to help you pick out scarfs for you?” Kia asked. I hated how he acted like my personal guard even though he was. Why can't he be less professional??? “ Oo! Oo!!” Anakin raised his hand like he was the one Kia was asking. “ I can see you have a splendid taste in things, Cleo and the winter is approaching. But given your inexperience in shopping, I think it'll be a good idea for me to follow you in,” he cleared his throat. “ Absolutely, not,” Kia hit the back of his head. “ Cleo will decide that and I don't think if she had to take anyone it would be you,” Kia snapped at him. “ Prin…Cleo, what's your decision?” Mona nearly added my title. “ Yes, what's your decision? Should we…” “ Just stay outside and don't you think of coming in with me. I'm talking to the both of you!” I raised my

Eira's POV We walked into the main streets and at least I and Kia were finally paired up. Mona and Anakin walked behind us arguing all the way. “ Is there any place in particular you'd like to go to, Your Highness?” Kia asked. Why was he still addressing me formally? “ Erm…” “ What am I saying? I doubt you know anywhere. Aren't you always in the palace?” He asked rhetorically, not once making eye contact with me. “ You don't really have to put it that way,” I sighed. Besides, he was one to talk like he wasn't from a similar family background with me. “ If you see anything that you like as we're walking, you can tell me so we'll get it for you,” he informed. I thought after winning him in today's sparring session that he'd treat me more like a friend or at least treat me like he would treat his fellow knights but here he is treating me like something fragile and naive. I hated it. “ Can I do that as well? I know a lot of great places we can buy thi

Eira's POV I ended up wearing something casual, well at least that's what the other maids and Mona claimed. This was anything but casual. They had picked out a matching pair of a cross-button shirt and a slim fitting trouser. The cross-button shirt came with a cape and badges of all kinds, it was also laced with gold chains hanging from it's breast pocket. I wore a white glove to match my seemingly casual look. “ When you said casual, this wasn't what I had in mind,” I whispered to Mona as we headed outside. “ You said you wanted casual, not something cheap,” she answered. “ Besides, how in the world did you convince yourself that you were going to find cheap clothes in your wardrobe? Have you forgotten that you're supposed to be the princess?” Mona nagged. “ Maybe I should just get that then while I'm in the market. Cheap clothes are perfect for outings,” I stated, living a low profile life once in a while wouldn't be that bad. “ Don't think of doing an

Eira's POV Three months later Months had passed by since I began training with Kia and Anakin. I honestly was out doing myself, who knew I'd have a talent in fighting? “ Are you ready for today? You do know that today is D-Day,” Mona said walking behind me as we headed towards the training ground. “ Honestly, I'm freaking out inside and your question isn't exactly helping to calm me down,” I said, taking a deep breath. “ I know I'm not helping right now but you've really improved. With your current ability, you're definitely a lot stronger than the lower ranking knights. Your current strength is on par with Class III knights which rather impressive. No one shots up the ranks this easily,” she analyzed. She certainly knew a lot about knights. “ I doubt my skills are up that level though,” I sighed, depressed. “ Do you think you'd be able to win?” Mona kept bombarding me with questions. “ Take a good look at me and ask me that question again,” I squ

Eira's POV The moon shone down on the palace, giving it an otherworldly radiance which made everything familiar appear strange and enticing at the same time. I looked sideways at Mona whose eyes gleamed with excitement mixed with uncertainty as she was already half way out of the door. I never one day thought I'd be sneaking out…it felt criminal. “ I have no idea why my heart keeps pounding,” I sighed. “ Then we can just decide not to go,” I knew Mona wanted this outcome more than anyone else. “ No! I can't just stand Anakin up,” I said in a hushed tone. “ I'd actually love to see the look on his face if that happened,” she really didn't get along with him.We silently moved through the deserted corridors of the palace covered in thick carpets that muted our footsteps. The air remained still and silent except for the breeze that let themselves in, every now and then. As we drew near, a figure became visible in the darkness. “ Sir Anakin?” I calle

Eira's POV After our talk with my mom, I and Mona headed back inside. Maybe I should really consider taking Mom's advice. “ Mom may be right, maybe I should take the first step,” I said to Mona who walked behind me. “ I'll do my best to support you but just try not to be too forward about it,” Mona advised. “ Even if I wanted to be forward about it, I don't think I can drop my pride to throw myself at him like that,” I sighed. I wasn't crazy enough to do something so embarrassing as throwing myself at him. “ Heyyy! Princess Cleo, you left so suddenly. Are you feeling better?” Anakin popped out of one of the rooms as I walked through the hallway. “ I never said I was feeling terrible to begin with,” I frowned. “ A thank you for asking would have sufficed though,” he winked. “ Ahem… There's something I wanted to ask you,” I cleared my throat. “ Hmm, this is new. It seemed like you weren't fond of me for quite a while,” he picked his ears nonchalant

Two weeks laterAnastasia’s POV Abel had been sentenced to what I would call a lifetime worth of jail term on various charges like murder, attempted murder, embezzlement, bribery, threats and so on. He kept yelling at us without a single form of remorse but I'm glad that case is closed. Meanwhile Bourne Groups and MooBi entertainment have began their collaboration deal and Bourne Groups stock prices have gone up just from the anticipation of such a huge collaboration ongoing. “ Anna, are you paying any attention?” Stella nudged me in the arm. “ Sorry,” I muttered. We were at a court procession, it was that of Cora's. Cora had turned herself in to the police and had agreed to take responsibility for her actions but she was yet to know that I and the others had decided that she wouldn't go to prison. I didn't like her but I wanted to understand her since she was somehow like a sister to me, with our identities switched at birth, I feel the need to be there for

Kasper's POV~"Yeah, I'll get back to you on that......*noise in the background*.....". "What's with all the fuss?" I thought as I walked over to the end of my office where the wall is totally made of glass. Looking through, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Hordes of paparazzi flooded into the company building following someone in a black suit. "Is that.....Uncle Abel?" I thought as I squinted to look clearly. I couldn't see the face from so high up but the figure and mannerisms certainly were his."....ello? Sir? Are you there sir?" The voice from the other end of the phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I had totally forgotten that I was on a call. "Oh I apologise. I got caught up with something" I explained, "Perhaps I'll call you back later and we'll talk about it thoroughly. How's that?" "Sure thing sir?""Alright....beep!" I hung up and continued to analyze the situation. If that really was uncle Abel, he would probably be headed to my office. I had been expecting him act

Athena's POV~Sitting on the bench along the lobby in the hospital, I felt hollow. Everything felt like a dream. I couldn't believe it at all. "Audrey switched our babies? Audrey?" I thought. How could somebody I trusted so much betray me like that? She was my best friend. I trusted her like she was my sister. How could she do this?! "Oh mo....Please stop crying" Cora said to me as she offered me a tissue. I turned to the side and took a look at her. It was awkward and heartbreaking. This girl for whom I did everything wasn't even mine? I felt chills run down my spine as I thought about it. "Yeah, it's just gonna make it worse" Anna who sat beside me too on the other end said. I looked at her too. How was I supposed to feel now? My actual daughter....in front of me and I never knew all this time. "Just relax, okay?" Cora said as she gave me the tissue. I took it and wiped the tears off my face.Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop!"The doctor!" I sprung up in anxiety. I had been waiting. I still

Audrey's POV~"They're not here yet?" I thought as I took a glance at my watch. She said she wanted to meet me here about fifteen minutes ago, Anastasia that is. I looked around the cafe to see if maybe she was sitting somewhere else but there was no sign of her. "Maybe I should call her" I muttered as I dug my hand into my purse to get my phone. Then suddenly, I heard the jingle of the small bells at the entrance and my eyes darted in that direction. It was her. "Anna" I called with a wave as a smile cropped up on my face. My daughter truly was gorgeous. She saw me and walked over to my table and sat down. "Geez, what happened? It's not like you to be running late" I said with a smile. " Sorry, I got caught up with something" she apologized. " Work huh? Have you managed to make a designs yet?" I asked. " I have actually but none of them are to my liking. I guess I've been on a bit of a block lately " she said. She didn't look too happy as she said it. "Was something bothering he

Mom’s House - The next dayAnastasia’s POV “ Are you going out?” I came out of the kitchen as my ears picked up the sound of footsteps moving towards the front door. “ Yes, you're ears are rather sensitive,” mom complimented. “ Nah, not really. Besides, why are you heading out? I mean, I just came not too long ago and I'm making lunch,” I pouted. “ By not coming too long ago, you mean coming in the morning before nine and staying till past noon?” She placed both hands on her waist arching her brows as she questioned rhetorically. “ Haha, guess I've been here for quite a while,” I scratched my head awkwardly. “ Mhmm, you have. Anyway, I'll be back soon enough. I want to get some things then drop them at the orphanage before coming back so don't wait for me before you have lunch as I might take a bit before coming,” she smiled before heading for the front door. “ But...” “ Bye!!” She yelled, banging the door behind her as she escaped from the house. She wa

Anastasia’s POV Kasper and I sat on the chairs in the balcony and got a minute or two after we arrived, we didn't say a word. Maybe it was because we didn't want to talk about the night we came out to the balcony which ended up rather hot or we were simply unsure of how to react to the news of what truly happened to Aurelia. “ I don't know what to say to you,” he let the words escape his lips like air he had held in too long. “ What do...” “ I know we've already settled this issue of Aurelia’s death before and I regretted treating you the way I did but this is different. I feel guilty - guilty because I had made you suffer a lot for someone else's crimes,” he pushed his hair backwards with both hands. “ I couldn't exactly blame you, after all, I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes,” I turned to look at him but contrary to his usual self, he wasn't staring back at me. “ Thinking about how I blamed you and forced you to get married to me just s

LYRONSix years later The plane touched down at JFK International Airport. It was bustling and rowdy as always. It's been six years since I last stepped into the US, yet it felt both familiar and foreign. My mind went to Amil, he most likely hadn't moved so it wasn't entirely impossible to not bump into him so I'd do everything to prevent that from happening. “ Daddy?” Eleo tugged at my pants. “ Yes, Lee?” I snapped back into reality hearing my son calling out to me. He was the cutest five-year old. “ Is it necessary to keep this on?” He pulled at his face mask looking sulky. “ Just bear with daddy a little bit okay? You won't need to wear it when we get into the car,” I kneaded his soft cheeks. “ But it's uncomfortable,” he complained. “ I know but you don't like when those people with cameras show up, do you?” I tried my best to convince him. I was yet to reveal Eleo to the public and I doubt I planned to do that anytime soo

LYRON Zara paused in her footsteps and everyone turned to look at her. I glanced at her then at Jason. Were they somehow acquainted? “ Do you two know each other?” I was forced to act seeing how much Zara avoided looking Jason in the eye. “ Yes… No!” They chorused. Their responses different. “ Do you or do you not know each other?” I raised my brow, staring at her suspiciously. “ I don't know him personally but we've met due to my line of work before. Isn't that right, Jason?” She finally looked at him. “ … I guess so,” he hesitated before answering. “ See? It's nothing serious,” Zara laughed awkwardly. I knew something was up but I'd trust her to handle her own affairs and if she ever feels the need to tell me the truth about their relationship, I know she would. “ I'll show you up to your room,” the butler brought us back to our reality - moving in. “ Alright, thank you,” I appreciated. “ I'll help you unpack,” Zara s

LYRON The plane touched down at Heathrow airport. The seven hours spent felt like eternity and to be honest I felt a little tired already. “ Are you feeling alright, Lyron?” Zara walked up to me. “ Not entirely but it's not that bad,” I admitted. “ It's your first time flying so that much is expected,” she tapped my shoulder. “ If you feel sick or strange, do let me know. We can't stress you or the baby,” she smiled. “ Thank you,” I smiled barely. Zara was extremely considerate and caring and I couldn't have asked for a better friend but I was still hung up on what I and Amil shared. To be frank, I still had feelings for him and if he were to reach out to me now, I'm not sure if I'd be able to not walk away. “ Onii-chan!” Leilani screamed as she ran away from Ryan who was goofing around and bugging both she and Lance. “ Ryan keeps tickling me,” she hugged my legs and reported to me. “ Ryan, aren't you a little too old for thi

Amil's POVTwo weeks later I threw a vase to the ground towards my new agent. She shuddered in fear. “ This won't do, you know. I'm the one who broke the news to you so why are you taking it out on the new girl?” Steve sighed. “ I'm the one to decide who I take out my anger on,” I retorted. “ And this is the reason nobody wants to work for you,” he sighed before taking a seat. “ You may go, Emma,” he dismissed her. Looking at me with a trembling body, she bowed her head before excusing herself. “ Well, I never asked them to work for me either,” I snapped. “ Then why are you so bothered by the fact that Lyron left? Shouldn't you be relieved that he quit? I thought that was your original plan, what made it change?” Though his face showed no sign of slight, I knew how he truly felt. “ That doesn't matter. I told you to look for him and you come back telling me that you haven't been able to find him,” “ Do I look like

Lyron's POV “ I didn't think this would happen,” I cried. “ I told you before to kill whatever feelings you had for him and you went ahead to develop it,” Zara was annoyed I knew. “ So what are you going to do? You can just abort it you know,” she reminded. Three months had passed since I and Amil had sex when our rut and heat clashed. I had signed the contract after the three days of non-stop sex and Amil had become a lot nicer to me. He was more considerate of my feelings and opinions and would even let me throw tantrums - it was as though we were dating but I only came to realize that I was the one deluding myself after his engagement to Skylar, a top model and the only daughter of a well known investor was announced. Even after his engagement was announced, we still kept having sex and he would always say the sweetest things to me afterwards while I was completely shattered inside. Still, I was happy to see that he wasn't interested in his fiancee and kept

Lyron's POV “ I'm about to come down with a headache because of you. What do you mean you've been avoiding him for over two weeks now?” Zara pinched her nose bridge. “ I can't bring myself to face him after that night,” I rested my head on the desk. “ He looks like he's about to kill me because it's kinda obvious that I'm avoiding him,” I pulled on my hair. “ I'd honestly feel the very same way of the guy I slept with suddenly starts ignoring me after that especially if we have to see each other on a daily basis,” she sipped from her drink. “ So what do you think I should do?” I needed her advice at the moment. “ It's obvious, hear what he has to say,” she shrugged. “ But what if it's not something I want to hear? You know how Amil is,” I sighed. I was worried about how he would react and if he'd find a way to blame me for what happened. That was my first time as well and I honestly enjoyed having sex with him but I can't guarantee he felt the same
