It was already the next day, and I woke up earlier than usual. In fact, I didn't get much sleep at all because Desdemona's journal and the upcoming coronation filled my mind. It's as if with every second that passed, we were one step closer to being defeated.
I glanced towards Axel and saw him mindlessly looking up at the ceiling. He seemed to be in a similar state as he looked like he also didn't get much sleep with the bags under his eyes.
"Hey, you okay?" I said, holding onto his arm.
"Hmm?" he hummed. It seemed like I broke his train of thought as he looked at me with blank eyes.
"How are you?" I said softly.
He let out a deep breath before scooting closer to me. I laid down on my stomach and started playing with his hair. He mentioned once that he felt relaxed whenever I played with his hair, so I decided to do it right now.
He closed his eyes and started leaning against my touch.

RosalindTime passes, and it's only one day until the coronation.Desdemona stayed in her room all day yesterday, so we weren't able to sneak into her room at all.I was currently pacing back and forth in my room, worried about how I was going to get the journal and talk to my father afterward.To make matters worse, Winnie wasn't here to accompany me today since they are currently having their dry-run rehearsals for the coronation. Desdemona didn't even bother including me in the program, so I'm here in my room with Axel.Well, I guess that could also be a good thing since now I have the time to get Desdemona's journal from her room."You ready?" Axel asked as he went out of the bathroom."Yeah," I fiddled with my fingers. "We're not going to get caught, are we?"He went closer to me and held onto my shoulders. "We won't get caught. We're the only ones around this area. They're all busy prep

Rosalind"Rosalind...it's too late."I let out the breath that I didn't even know I was holding when he uttered those words.Late? It's too late? What does he mean by that?"What do you mean, dad?" I asked.He looked down at his table and once again removed his reading glasses. He placed his hands on the table and looked me deep in the eyes. "Don't you think it's too late that you're telling me all of this?""I'm still not following what you're saying, dad.""The coronation is already tomorrow, Rosalind. All of the preparations have been finished, and Desdemona worked really hard for this."My eyebrows furrowed. "Are you saying that the coronation is going to push through? Just because Desdemona worked really hard on it?""We don't have any other choice, Rosalind. Like I told you, the preparations have already been done. The people are expecting a new queen, and we cannot keep them waiting."I scoffed

The day that I dreaded the most finally came.I have been praying in my mind for the last couple of hours for this day to never come. However, life wasn’t like that. Time wasn't going to adjust for one person. And it definitely wouldn't adjust just for me. Time progressed normally, and it was now two hours until the coronation ceremony.I honestly didn’t want to get up from bed and witness what is about to happen, but Axel has been convincing me nonstop that we should go.“Rosalind. We have to be there.”I groaned and covered myself with the duvet.He went closer to me and uncovered my face. He knelt down to the level of the bed and started stroking my hair.“Get up, baby. We have to be at the event hall in an hour and a half.”I turned away from him. “Do we really have to go? It’s not like we have a role in the coronation or something. We’re literally just

The ceremony was about to start, but I still didn't get the chance to talk to my father. I already looked for him everywhere but I didn't see a trace of him. It's like he disappeared into thin air.I was fidgeting in my spot while Axel tried his very best to comfort me.“Calm down, baby,” he whispered into my ear. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as I heard him call me 'baby,' but they were quickly replaced with nervousness as I realized that I still wasn't able to talk to my dad.I wandered my eyes around to once again find my dad, but to no avail.“Where is he?” I was about to start biting on my nails, but Axel gently held my hand and brought it down.“The ceremony hasn’t started yet. I’m sure that he’ll be here just before it starts.”Just then, the Masters of Ceremony started speaking into the mic, signaling the near start of the coronation.

RosalindBodies.Bodies sprawled out on the ground.Blood.Blood spattered everywhere.I had expected this—for chaos to break out, but it still did not take away the shock that I felt when I saw my father drop to the ground.I turned to Axel with a proud smile on his face. I saw that he was already looking at me with a wide smile.So this was the plan, huh?I smirked in delight as the blood splattered on my legs—Logan’s blood.My father tried getting up from the ground, but Sebastian held him still. The reason why the two of them fell to the ground was that when the gunshots sounded, Sebastian ran to where my father was and pushed him down to the ground.“Fuck!” Logan screamed as his blood flowed out of the wound.Venice shrieked as she saw Logan bleeding on the ground. He was shot in his shoulder and appeared to be in pain. Desdemona, on the other

Rosalind I fell down on the ground, face first. I felt a heavyweight on top of me, making me groan in pain. Blood started seeping into my clothes as the weight pressed down on my body. I scrambled to get away from it, using my arms to escape the suffocating weight. Axel held out his hand for me, so I took it, and he helped me stand up. I looked down at my black dress and saw a suspicious liquid running through it. I touched it with my fingers and confirmed that it is indeed blood. Just a few moments ago, when Desdemona fired the gun straight at my head, only a click was heard—signifying that it had already run out of bullets. She has been firing her bullets left to right without any inhibitions all throughout the event, so it ran out before she could even kill me. However, to my surprise, when she tried to load the gun once again, a gunshot was heard all around the

Rosalind"Dad?"He smiled, although it didn't reach his eyes."Hey, Rosalind!" he greeted in an awkward manner."What are you doing here, dad?" I asked in a much gentler voice than usual since I didn't want to scare him away."Can we talk?""Who is it, Rosalind?" I heard Axel's voice coming near us. "If it's Sebastian, then just tell him to go away so we can continue what we were doing—"Axel paused when he saw who was standing in front of the door.I glared at him and clicked my tongue.He smiled sheepishly while scratching the back of his neck.I kept my glare on him. I'm definitely going to scold him later.I held the door wider and gestured for my dad to come in."Come in, dad. Let's talk."Axel moved away from the door so that my father could comfortably come in."Thanks," my dad muttered under his breath as he went inside my room.&nb

Rosalind Today was the day of the coronation. It felt like I had been waiting for this moment for my entire life, but I was still feeling more nervous than ever. Axel and I had already finished dressing up, and we were just waiting for the bells to ring before coming down. I shook my hands to get rid of the nervousness that I was feeling. Axel chuckled, looking at me while he was leisurely sitting down on the bed. I looked at him incredulously. "Aren't you the tiniest bit nervous?" He chuckled once again and shook his head. "Today's a happy day, baby. What's there to be nervous about?" I clicked my tongue. "I really do wish that I have your courage." He stood up from the bed and walked over to where I was. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin against my shoulder. "Don't worry, baby. We balance each other well." I giggled and caressed his hair. "You

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.

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

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.

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
