I couldn’t believe my eyes or my ears. Everything was starting to feel a little too fast, a little too real. Juniper’s words were as though he was driving knives into my body. No matter how hard I tried to keep my composure, I just couldn’t. I couldn’t believe that the one person I trusted with my life had set me up and made me a fool. At a point, I just stopped trying, the tears flowed down and I was so sure that I wasn’t going to be stopping anytime soon. Everything was starting to make sense in my head.Questions I should have asked before, I was just asking them. The doubts I should have chased before, I was just trying to chase them now but I was too late. Way too late.“So everything was all you” I whispered, biting on my bottom lip as he stared at him and Juniper nodded as he got up from his seat.“I thought I already made that clear already, everything was all me” he replied as he started moving around placing some things in the shed and I frowned.“You know I gave you a chanc

Nothing at all could describe the pain and ache in my heart as Juniper spoke. His words were like tiny sharp prickles drilling into my chest and no matter how hard I tried to pretend that I didn’t care that what he was saying didn’t matter, I couldn’t help it. I had confided in him and yet he was using it against me. The thought of everything that had happened rushed to my head and my head started to spin. A part of me was still finding everything that was happening a little too real, unbelievable.How did I not see through at all?“Why are you doing this to me?” I whispered, tears running down my cheeks. He was supposed to be my best friend and yet here he was torturing me.“You know while I baited my time here, nothing seemed to ever faze Jonathan. He was so well protected and there was no leakage, nothing at all. There was no way I could penetrate into his impregnable wall and even the news about the palace was scarce. He had no weak points, only strong points but I knew that the t

AMIRA’S POVI had no idea how long it tk me to open my eyes but the moment I decided to do so, it was a sharp pain and ache from the back of my head had registered in my mind first and it took me several minutes before slowly opened my eyes and tried i adjust my eyes to the environment and know where I was. It took me a few minutes, but I soon realized that I was in a shed. The shed looked old and rusty and it had a faint smell of old books in the library. It definitely wasn’t used so well. That was what I was sure of.I tried to stand up and it was then that I realized that my hands and legs were tightly bound and panic set in as I tried to loosen myself all to no avail. As I tried to free myself, I immediately remembered how I had found myself here in the first place. I remembered Juniper hitting me with a stick, the displeased look on his face as I fell to the floor. I hadn’t been hallucinating.I looked around as I shook my head while trying to loosen myself, “Juni wouldn’t do th

“Amira, Amira, wake up, wake up” a strong jolting jolted me awake and I jumped on the bed with a fright. I turned to see Serena staring at me with wide eyes.“Are you okay?” She asked and the previous night memories came washing over me in an instant. The secrets I had found made a lump form in my throat. I had stayed in the medicine room, drinking in every detail and what I had found out had terrified me. It was a lie, it was a sham and I had walked into the room late to sleep.“Amira, Amira” Serena called again and I came back to myself while she stared at me with narrowed eyes.“Are you sure you're okay?” she asked and I quickly nodded my head.“Well, the king would soon leave for the war, I thought you might want to see him before he leaves” Serena said as she grabbed my hand, “Amira, talk to me, what’s wrong?” she asked and I turned to stare at Serena wondering whether to tell her what I had learned first but instead I got off the bed and rushed out of the door.
