I don’t know what came into my mind when I invited Rosalind out to the Bloom Festival. Maybe it’s because she looked so wistful while looking at the city’s night view, or maybe it's just because the guilt of leaving her with Alpha Nathan was eating me alive.
I still can’t forget how excited she looked when I asked her to come down with me. She tried gauging my reaction, whether I was joking or not, and when she realized that I wasn’t, she scrambled to get dressed and practically flew out of the room.
Now, we were strolling through the heart of the city—where the Bloom Festival is taking place. She walked ahead of me, looking like a kid in a candy store. She wasn’t even paying attention to her surroundings anymore. She was about to bump into a fruit stand, but I was able to pull her away before an accident could happen.
I held onto the small of her back and led her out of the fruit stand&rsqu

RosalindI don’t know how long I’ve been wandering around this place, but I don’t care. Being in this place, I felt the feeling that I have long been craving while being in the palace—freedom.As a young princess, I used to visit the cities that surrounded our kingdom with my mother. I don’t remember much, but I remember always going to an orphanage to play with kids my age. My mother was well-known around this area. She loved to get in touch with the people.As I grew older, I lost touch with the people and started being surrounded by the same stoic faces, same polished infrastructures, and same uptight rules. That’s when I started wanting to become the queen—so that I could change the rules. Because for me, being a princess isn’t being a perfect girl stuck in a palace. Being a princess is to keep in touch with people and give them the help that they need.I smiled nostalgically when I saw

RosalindI didn’t know how to respond, so I turned to Axel for help. I was hoping that he would say something, but like me, he said nothing.“Boss! It’s time for us to take our positions. The flower’s going to bloom in a bit.”It was a good thing that another photographer called the old man’s attention, so we didn’t have to answer his question anymore.He glanced back at us and pointed towards an empty bench near the flower.“Go and sit there while waiting for the flower to bloom.”I looked a the chains that surrounded that particular area, and it looked like it was only for VIP’s.“Can we sit there?” I warily asked.The old man smiled. “Don’t worry. Just tell them that Mr. Stanley allowed you to be there.”My eyes widened in surprise. Mr. Stanley? Isn’t that...?“See you later,” he i

Rosalind“I think I’m starting to like you.”When I realized what I had just said, my eyes widened in surprise. I pursed my lips together and wished that I could just take back the words that spilled out of my mouth.Shit. I shouldn't have said that.I dreaded Axel’s reaction. He slowly turned his head to me, and I couldn’t guess what emotion his face held.I still remember the day when he told me that we shouldn’t fall in love with each other. I’m a hundred percent sure that he’s not going to like what I just said.It felt like the world slowed down as I waited for him to speak out about what he thought.He leaned in closer to me and furrowed his eyebrows. “What did you say? I didn’t hear anything because of the crowd.”I let out a breath that I didn’t even know I was holding when I heard what he said.Alright. So he didn

RosalindI froze in my spot as I looked at her cunning smirk. I quickly got back on track, though. I didn’t want her to think that I went somewhere last night.“What do you mean? I was just here,” I said innocently.Her smirk slowly transformed into a scowl, and I saw her tighten her hold onto my sheets, wrinkling the white cloth.“Tell me the truth while I’m still acting nice. Where did you go last night?”I sighed and still continued on with my act. “I told you, mom. I didn’t go anywhere last night.”She scoffed. “So, now I’m your mom when you’ve done something wrong.”I held in the urge to roll my eyes. My parents usually wouldn’t care about my well-being. If I had gone missing for a couple of days, they probably would not have noticed until they saw my face plastered all over the media. What makes this situation different?

AxelRosalind went to her room while I went to an abandoned attic in the palace. This is where I placed all of my weapons in case I needed to use them. I took the entire backpack of weapons and made sure to close the attic before leaving.Before going back to the stable, I wanted to check up on Rosalind to see if she was already resting, so I took a longer route just to visit her room.When I got there, I didn’t expect another person to be in Rosalind’s room. I narrowed my eyes to get a closer look and saw that it was Desdemona, Rosalind’s mother.Thinking that I should just leave the mother-and-daughter pair all alone, I quietly went on my way. However, I suddenly heard them arguing, leading me to go back to my hiding spot.As I listened to their argument, I couldn’t help but wonder what their real relationship was. I feel like I shouldn’t be listening in on their conversation, but my curiosity got t

AxelI woke up feeling warm and with a light weight on top of my chest. I didn't have to open my eyes to infer that it was Rosalind. It seems like she still hasn’t moved from her position ever since we started napping.I groggily glanced at the clock on the bedside table and almost sat up in surprise. However, I stopped myself from doing so because I didn’t want to wake Rosalind up.I’d already been sleeping for three hours, and the sun was about to set. I looked at the forgotten backpack of weapons on the floor and cursed under my breath.“Shit, I need to go to the stable.”I looked at Rosalind and smiled when she snuggled deeper into my chest. However, I erased that smile when I realized that I still needed to interrogate Alpha Nathan regarding his situation with Logan.I carefully lifted Rosalind’s head out of my chest and placed it on her pillow. I slowly stood up from the bed and saw

RosalindWithout opening my eyes, I reached out to the spot next to me. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw Axel lying down next to me. I don't know whether he stayed with me the whole time, but my heart fluttered when I saw him next to me last night.I was expecting to feel a familiar warmth, but the space next to me felt empty. I opened my eyes to see if he was still beside me, but to my disappointment, he was not.I mean, what did I expect?I trudged towards the bathroom, bearing a sour mood due to Axel's absence. However, it quickly dissipated into thin air when I saw a sticky note stuck to the bedside lamp."Training :)"I smiled when I saw his note. It was just one word, but it was enough to make my heart beat faster.I kept the sticky note in one of my treasure boxes and changed into more decent clothes before going out of my bedroom and into the kitchen.My stomach growled when

RosalindEver since Axel interfered with our family argument two days ago, Desdemona has been more silent than usual. She hasn't been bothering me at all, and even Venice is cautious with her words and actions whenever we come across each other.Sebastian, Axel, and I were all seated down on the ground playing some type of board game. Axel and I wanted to rest more, but Sebastian barged into our room, holding a scrabble board. He told us that he didn't have anything to do in the servant's quarters, so he came up here after stealing one of the board games displayed in our living room.The game was nearing its end, and it was Sebastian's turn to place down his letters. The game has become progressively hard since we don't have any spare letters to pick from anymore."Arter?" I asked, tilting my head to the side in confusion. "Is that even a word?"Axel also frowned beside me."Yeah. It's what they call people who make a

Axel sighed as he packed his bags once again.“Are you ready, love?” Rosalind called out from the bathroom.Axel smiled and tried to sound cheery. “Yes, love. I’ll just load the bags in the car.”“Alright, I’ll come down after peeing,” she called out.“Stay here while I load our things, love. I’ll go back here to come and fetch you.”Rosalind flushed the toilet and moved out of the bathroom. “Wait, let’s just go together,” she walked toward her husband. She held onto her back as she walked since her stomach had gotten so big that her back failed to support her by itself anymore.Axel clicked his tongue and shook his head when he saw her struggling to walk. He placed their bags down on the ground and walked over to where she was. One hand held onto her back while the other held on

Axel excitedly dialed Cupid's number, ready to tell him about the unexpected news. As much as the two of them try to deny it, they both know, deep inside their hearts, that they treat each other as very good friends. "Yo," Axel said into the phone. "I have something to tell you." "Axel!" Cupid greeted in an equally jolly voice. "I was just about to call you too. I also have some great news." Axel became a little suspicious when he heard that Cupid, too, had some good news, but nothing could really take away from his happiness after the news that he had just heard. "You go first, then," Axel presented since he is in a good mood. "Nah, man. You go first. You're the one who called me first. Go ahead," Cupid responded. "No, you." "No, you go first." "No, YOU go first." "No, you're the one who should go first." They endlessly said to each other. In the end, Axel sighed in frustration. "Let's just say it at the same time, alright. Then we'll explain it individually afterward." "Fi

"Did you get it?" Rain excitedly said as she went out of her office. Liam looked up from his laptop and focused his attention on Rain. "Get what?" Rain sighed in frustration. "The invitation!" "What invitation?" he asked, confused. Rain walked closer to him and went behind his back. "I told you to check your personal email more often. Come on, open up your account." Liam quickly opened up his personal email account and clicked on the latest message. He read the contents of the email. "A high school reunion?" "Yeah," Rain nodded her head. "Let's go together." Liam smiled. In the course that they have been dating, he could feel that Rain had changed for the better. She had gained so much confidence over the past few months, and Liam feels proud knowing that she had grown to love and appreciate herself even more. "Yeah, let's go together. I also miss some of my high school friends." Rain smiled. "That's settled, then. Let's also buy our outfits together." *** Rain and Liam t

"This is it," Cupid removed his hands from Gillian's eyes, revealing a spacious yet cozy-looking infrastructure filled with antique designs. "Our new bakery." Gillian looked at the infrastructure in awe, and suddenly got teary-eyed when she realized that they were going to be having a new chapter in their life. Cupid chuckled as he observed his wife's teary eyes. "Why are you crying? This is supposed to be a happy event, love." Gillian wiped her tears with her sleeves and tried her hardest not to cry. "I know, love. I'm just so proud of the two of us." Ever since Gillian and Cupid had been married, they started thinking more about their future. They both knew that Cupid's investments would be more than enough to provide for their everyday needs, but they still would want to have a steady, stable income where the two of them can work together. And as someone who enjoys cooking and baking quite a lot, Cupid suggested that they open a cafe near Briana's restaurant. He thought that

No matter how many times Axel wakes up to Rosalind in the morning, he still can’t get over how beautiful his wife is. He smiled and leaned closer to her face, tracing her features from her eyes down to her lips.“Axel, stop that,” Rosalind swatted his hand away and scooted farther away from him.“Love, stay here,” Axel whined and pulled her closer, peppering kisses all over her neck.“I’m tired, Axel,” she grumbled and closed her eyes to get more sleep.“Why, my love? Didn’t you get enough sleep yesterday?”Rosalind clicked her tongue and glared at Axel. “Of course, I’m tired! You fucking ruined me yesterday.”Axel smiled with pride. “But you liked it, right?”Rosalind rolled her eyes and turned away from Axel, trying to hide her reddening cheeks. "Whatever. I'm going to sleep."Axel chuckled and placed a chaste kiss on top of her shoulder. "Rest well, my love. I'll be cooking some breakfast.""Mmh," Rosalind hummed, willing herself to sleep once again.

Olivia and Dallas gazed back and forth between Liam who was on stage and Rain who was sitting right next to them. Olivia couldn't help but let out a small chuckle when she saw Rain's flushed face as other people also started teasing her. "How the fuck did he know what I was going to wear?" she asked. Dallas shook his head. "I went with him. He definitely didn't know. He just grabbed the first sweater he saw at Target. Must be destiny or something." Rain knew that Dallas was joking when he told her about destiny, but she couldn't help but blush at the thought that they might really be destined for each other. Liam, who saw Rain from a distance, was also shocked to see that they were wearing the same sweaters. He smiled to himself as he watched Rain getting teased by her other co-workers. 'I knew that going to Target would be a good idea,' he thought in his mind. "Good evening, everyone!" Liam finally said into the mic. The crowd cheered and clapped their hands, ready to star

When Liam told Rain that he would show her how he truly feels, she thought that he was just joking. There was no way that the guy she has been liking for the past seven years would suddenly show interest in her and make the effort to prove it.However, much to her surprise, he wasn’t lying. Ever since that day, she would always see her favorite coffee on top of her desk. On the weekends, flowers would suddenly show up on her doorstep. And during the end of her shift, Liam would always be waiting for her to take her home.She arrived in the office and saw yet another coffee, accompanied by two blueberry muffins, on top of her desk.“Damn, girl. I’m jealous of this admirer of yours. You’ve been receiving free breakfast for the past week!” Olivia saidRain chuckled and handed Olivia one of the blueberry muffins before taking a sip from her coffee.

“I like you, alright?” Rain bursted out.“I’ve liked you for so damn long that it’s killing me inside! I know that you don’t see me that way, and I also know that you have something going on with Claire, that’s why I hate myself for even thinking about you—for thinking we could be together. So, stop doing this—whatever this is that you’re doing. To you, this might only be an act of friendship, but to me who has liked you from the beginning, I am starting to misinterpret your actions. It’s so fucking difficult for me to act platonically with you if you keep doing these things. So, please. Stop. I’ll also stop bothering you from now on.”Liam intently listened to every word that Rain said. He never expected this, to be honest. To him, Rain was like an honest friend that always had his back. She would always be there to comfort him whenever he felt down, and even when he had problems with Claire, she’d always be there to listen. Looking back on it, Rain must have suffered a lot because o

Liam felt giddy as he parked his car in the parking lot. Even if he didn’t get much sleep last night, he still somehow feels energetic. It’s like there’s something, or rather, someone he’s looking forward to seeing to in the office. Rain, on the other hand, had a full night of sleep but she still felt like she didn’t get enough rest. She placed her things down on the table and sat down on her chair with a deep sigh. Olivia saw this, so she walked towards her and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Hey, you alright?”“Mmh?” Rain looked up at Olivia and smiled. “I’m great, Liv.”Even if Rain smiled, it somehow didn’t feel genuine. “Did everything go well yesterday?” Olivia asked, wondering if something bad happened during the dinner, causing her to act like this.Everything went well. Too well, if you ask Rain. Liam and her had the best conversation they ever had, but it only reminded her that their relationship stops at that. She hates herself for thinking that the two of them could ac
