Dylan walked into Jasmine's room with a smirk on his face. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He knew that he would finally have his revenge, and he was going to relish every second of it.Jasmine's heart sank as she saw Dylan's expression. She knew that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was. She tried to speak, but Dylan cut her off before she could say anything.Dylan's anger was like a raging inferno, burning with intensity and fury. His face contorted into an expression of pure wrath, his eyes flashing with a dangerous gleam. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as the adrenaline surged through his body.Every fiber of his being was consumed by a seething anger that threatened to overwhelm him. He could feel his muscles tensing, his fists clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His breaths came in short, sharp gasps as he struggled to control the torrent of emotion that threatened to burst forth like a volcanic erupti
Sebastian sat all alone in his room. The hot and humid day made him feel blank as he was impatiently waiting for the time when he would be crowned the new king, that was if after his mother's plan had worked out perfectly well. He was just sitting all alone as he wondered how great and nice it would be to become the next king. “That feeling… that feeling of being the new king. I will have maids, servants, and slaves bow down to me and worship me alone." "The entire kingdom will bow down to me and call me their one and only king. I will have all the women that I want in bed, have dominion over other little kingdoms, have all of those plots of land and large fields.”“How great will it be to become the next king? I will marry as many wives as I wish to, and anyone who doesn't do what I want or say will I divorce? She can go back to her people, I don't care.”“No, I will go and marry from a rich family, a well-to-do family from an enormous kingdom whose daughter is the princess, and t
Jasmine was on her knees, tears streaming down her face as she begged Dylan to forgive her. She didn't know what she did wrong, but she knew she had to plead with him to let her go. "Please, Dylan, I beg of you. I didn't do anything wrong. Please, let me go," she pleaded.Dylan looked at her with an icy stare, his jaw clenched tight. "You should have thought of that before you tried to escape. You broke the law, Jasmine. You are a criminal now, and I cannot let you go unpunished," he said in a cold, hard voice."But I didn't do anything wrong. Please, Dylan, listen to me. I am not a criminal," she said, her voice shaking.Dylan turned away from her, his hands clenched into fists. He walked over to the window and looked out, his face twisted in anger. Jasmine could hear him muttering under his breath, but she couldn't make out the words.She tried to stand up, but her legs were weak, and she fell back to the ground. She looked up at Dylan, who was now pacing back and forth in the room.
Jasmine sat on the floor with a frustrated sigh. She could barely understand why Dylan was doing this to her when she did her best just to come back to him. She felt disheartened because he didn't even care about her. The look on his face showed how displeased he was about her and she wished could just take her own life to please him.She tried to fight the tears in her eyes but nothing was working and age had no choice but to fall on her knees and let the tears pour freely. She wondered if he would finally be happy once she was gone. Would that really please him?She sighed and shook her head. She once promised herself to be strong and that she wanted to do it but she knew that wouldn't be possible because she felt like she wasn't meant to leave any longer in this cruel world.Even the last person she believed would love her back was not against her and saw her as a threat to him and needed to be eliminated.Maybe she could have died the day her mother gave birth to her or even stil
Sebastian sat in his room, quietly enjoying the comfort the silence brought.In the midst of his thoughts, a knock came. "Who is that?""Your highness," the guard spoke from behind the door. "Step in," he commanded and shortly the door was pushed open as the guard entered and bowed respectfully."What is it?" He asked immediately."The alpha would like to have a word with you," the guard reported.Sebastian frowned because this was the first time ever since that incident with his mother that Dylan asked for him which means that something was up. He decided to go see what it was since sitting there would give him no response."Take me to him," he said, standing up. The guard led the way to Dylan's quarter which made Sebastian even more uncomfortable.He walked inside and behold he saw a lady who looked quite familiar, kneeling in front of Dylan. She had her back facing him with her head bowed low while Dylan sat like a king in front of her.He slowly walked towards them as he tried t
Dylan watched her reaction. "So what do you have to say?"She gasped. "This is impossible," she whispered, almost breathless."I thought you said he was stabbed." He said, feeling angered by her. He was actually hoping that she would finally tell him the truth but who would've guessed that it was all a lie? Maybe him but he badly wanted to believe her.Jasmine snapped her head back to Dylan, pleading with her eyes. "Please, I'm telling the truth.""No, you're lying," he spat harshly. "You could've lied once but you chose to lie twice." He looked at Sebastian who was enjoying the show of emotions. "Get out,"he said beneath his breath. Sebastian wasted no time in doing that as he spared Jasmine a smirk when she looked at him.He then left the room.Dylan stared into those eyes, waiting for the telltale sign that she wasn't going to cooperate any further. That's what he always did - waited patiently for someone to break down and tell him the truth because he hated it when people told li
Trust me!" she cried. "Please, Dylan, trust me... please." He stared at her for a moment, taking everything in. There was no way that the person in front of him could ever love anyone. It was preposterous to even think that someone would ever fall for him. I wish I could but you just won't understand," she cried, shaking her head. "There's nothing else you need to know right now."Dylan sighed loudly. "Fine. Whatever.", he muttered, "if you can prove that I am wrong about you then go ahead and tell me whatever you've been keeping hidden, especially the documents you stole," he ordered and Jasmine's eyes widened. Why would he think she stole from him? It was absurd."Dylan. Please, I haven't done that," she pleaded but her attempt at lying was futile. Dylan just didn't care about her words and he doubted that the girl could change that. He also doubted that he would ever believe that she was truly repentant. "I can't even begin to explain myself.All I want is for you to believe me. O
"You won't believe me," she said, pretty sure that he wouldn't.He hated liars too but he knew deep inside he could never hate a liar more than this one woman in front of him. He was a victim of lies too. Lies by omission.She looked down at the ground, not daring to meet his gaze. "Dylan, I love you." She mumbled quietly."Do you know who I am?" He asked, his tone low and threatening.she swallowed nervously as she tried to hold onto her composure and look directly into his eyes. "Yes," she whispered and he pursed his lips slightly."So you do know who I am and also that I'm not capable of loving anyone, especially someone like you.""Yes but I still do," she said, trying not to seem intimidated even though it was obvious.Oh?" He replied sarcastically, not believing what he heard but there was something else that had caught his attention. "I suppose you do." he sneered. His gaze softened and he sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. His sarcastic replies made her gulp in fear. "
Anita turned around only to see Dylan and Travis standing there."Guards!" Dylan called angrily. "Cease her and check her room to see if there's anything there. Tomorrow would be set for your punishment."Dylan watched the guards dragging her away as she begged for him to listen to her. "Your Highness, I saw this in her room and many more." Dylan grabbed the letters and only then held information."That woman," he growled angrily."Travis," Jasmine beamed and quickly rushed to hug him. "Oh my God, I'm glad you're okay.""Yeah me too," he hugged her back. She pulled back and turned to Andrew. "You look okay as well, though as if you had a heart attack?" She teased and he smiled at her."Believe me when I say I never thought a heart attack would come in handy." He winked and she laughed.The rest were confused by their interaction but Jasmine and Andrew understood each other. She turned next to see Janice which made her smile widen."Janice, I've missed you. Where were you?""I'm sorr
"Who are you?" The king asked angrily.His aunt shifted closer to the king to whisper into his ears. The king's eyes widened in surprise."Oh so you're Dylan, my rival. I never knew I would be having you here tonight if not I could've been expecting your presence. But nothing has gone wrong and I think it would be wise if I give you the honor to serve the king which most servants find hard."Dylan knew better that he was mocking him and he wasn't surprised when the king signaled the servants to bring in drinks."Let him serve the king," the king laughed devilishly. Dylan clenched his fists when the guard offered him drinks to hold up for the king. His aunt smirked at him.So this was where she was all this while. He should've known better than to expect anything less from that family. Just remembering everything that he got to know from Sebastian made him boil but he held it in.Dylan bore the humiliation until he was done being a slave under the king. He waited patiently and slowly
Dylan felt restless and he felt the need to talk to someone, anyone in particular. He stood and found himself walking to the dungeon only to hear a sound coming from close by.He paid close attention and rushed over when he saw a guard struggling with blood all over him."What happened?""A... Attack. We're under attack," he struggled to say. Dylan looked close and saw the stabbed wound on his chest. He stood up and rushed over to where he believed Andrew was but no one was there. He became worried she quickly rushed to Jasmine's room but it was also empty. "No!" He screamed as his heart beat in his ears loudly."This can't be happening," he said while fidgeting in the room. What is going on? His rival was fast enough or maybe he was distracted instead."I see everything seems to be a shock to you," he heard a familiar voice from close by."Sebastian," he spat angrily as he turned around."I wasn't expecting you to find out this way, in fact, I wasn't expecting you to find out at al
Dylan's eyes scanning the crowd before him. The people had gathered in the main square, eager to hear what their leader had to say. They whispered amongst themselves, wondering what this urgent announcement could be about."Dylan, Dylan, Dylan!" they chanted, as he raised his hands for silence."Everyone," Dylan began, his voice carrying across the square. "Today, I stand before you with a heavy heart. It has come to my attention that one of our own has betrayed us. One of our own has been stolen from the kingdom's treasury."The crowd gasped, their eyes widening in shock and disbelief."I speak of none other than my own friend, Travis," Dylan continued, his voice trembling with emotion. "He has been banished from this kingdom, never to return."The crowd erupted into a mixture of cheers and jeers. Some were happy to see justice being served, while others were outraged at the banishment of one of their own.Dylan continued to speak, his voice growing louder and more forceful. "I assu
Dylan sent her away after and she dragged herself away from him. Dylan paced around his room and he found it rather unsettling with her calm and silent she was. What was going on with her?He shook his head and decided to go and check on things himself. He also needed to go to the meeting with the elders concerning the war. He went off to the place and was startled to see the guards already there and waiting for him."What is going on?" He asked them with a frown."There's something you need to know, alpha," they said immediately as he sat down."What is that?" He asked with a creased face."We found out that someone is stealing from us."He furrowed his brows. "Who could that can?""Well, before your return Travis wanted to keep everything safe so for that reason he decided to keep things under his watch and that means taking in some things is his responsibility.""He took the royal guard for example until you returned before he gave them back to you. Well with that said, my lord Tra
Dylan was stunned by the news he just got. He was already feeling guilty for locking Jasmine up and he was already regretting everything he did but he tried not to let it disturb him. Yet he had this feeling like she failed her and he needed her to trust him.He sighed and looked around the room in frustration. He couldn't even trust her and yet here he was bothering her after all the lies she told him. However, he felt alone and needed her by his side. He suddenly felt like she should be worth him and not far from him.What was he going to do? He felt lost and he needed advice but had no one to meet. The only person he could meet for advice also betrayed him. Who should be really trusted then. He shook his head as ye tried to control his thoughts.Was there any chance for him to find true love? He doubted there was. Not after what has happened to him. He looked around the room and sighed. What should he do?He loved Jasmine but she ended up breaking him as well. She broke him the mos
She took in deep breaths as she stared through the door and watched as they all walked around. She felt relieved but at the same time bothered by their presence, just needed to escape."So what is the plan?" She heard his voice from behind her."What else than to make sure we get out of here." She immediately crouched to his level. "I think it's best if we act it up, like act as if you're having a heart attack or something.""Would that work? I mean there is a higher possibility that it won't work at all.""Well we have no other option but to try." She revealed and sighed. "I just want to leave this place before it's too late," she replied."How can you do that?" "Simply by act, exactly what I just told you. That would be the simplest way out of here and you know I'm telling the truth.""I guess you're correct but I think guards wouldn't fall for such tricks immediately.""Then it's our job to make them fall. Look, I'm trying my best to leave here and you and I know how impossible it
"Hello…" She called him but he refused to speak to her or even turn to look at her."Aren't you… aren't you the physician who treated me?" Jasmine asked as she approached him and began to speak to him.After hearing that, he turned his eyes but didn't turn to look at her."What are you doing here sir? Did Sebastian send you here after he got stabbed or who did?" Jasmine asked him and on hearing that, Andrew turned to look at who was talking to him."You….I recognize you. Why are you here? Who brought you here?" Andrew asked her as soon as he saw Jasmine and recognized her."It was not a funny experience sir. I got kidnapped and ended up here." Jasmine replied simply."And no one has come to save you?" He asked in surprise."Yes, no one did and I even doubt if anyone even knows that I went missing." She replied again."And how is what you are saying even possible? Was Dylan the one that put you here? What did you do to him for him to keep you here ?" He asked her but she just sighed."
She leaned against the cool surface and waited for the dizziness to subside. That smell... She remembered it somewhere but couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes focused on the wall again and she realized that it was getting lighter. She looked around cautiously but everything seemed normal.Nothing was out of place and the floor was covered by the carpet. Everything looked exactly the same. Except for the feeling in the air. It felt thick and oppressive but at the same time warm and comfortable.The strange scent began to disappear when a bright light appeared.No shadows. No dark shapes. Just light. It was definitely coming from the windows, which were open. How did it get open without opening it first? The only explanation was that somebody opened it. Or perhaps... she thought as a shiver ran through her. The smell was getting stronger. She closed her eyes and concentrated on listening closely.Except that the smell continued, stronger and stronger. Was that what she smelled ear
