She was sitting on the terrace sipping the beer from a can, looking at the sea, enjoying the balmy breeze when someone came and took the beer can from her hands.
“I am finished, man. I am done…” She leaned back her head and closed her eyes, “I am so done. They have turned against me. The friendly folks are no more there, who were calling me their daughter-in-law. Can you believe this? Before the news of me being NOT pregnant, they were planning a grand engagement party.” She laughed sarcastically.
“But now they are again treating me like a no one. So that makes me stand again where I started. Back to square one.”
She was not crying but she was so upset that she would not mind killing one or two suckers from the palace.
“I was never a fan of becoming someone prominent or being the center of attention. But why do they think that it’s their fuc*king right to take away my self-respect? Why?”
She could not get a good sleep. Though Ezequiel had been disturbed by her continuous tossing and turning in bed but he did not complain.This morning he brought her breakfast in bed with every intention to spend the day with her but unfortunately was called for urgent meetings.“I am canceling the meeting.”“No Zeki. Don’t. I am perfectly fine.”“I don’t want to leave you alone honey.”“You should.” She tried to stuff her mouth with a half-left croissant on her tray, “Please go ahead with your meetings. You have got some very handsome staff here. I need to flirt with them.”Ezequiel choked badly on his coffee, “Are you kidding me?”Placing his cup aside he held her hair a little roughly and kissed her. There was no hurry. He took his sweet time to taste her lips and mouth as if he was trying to mark his territory.Hmm. So mister is jealous. She
“I am thinking to leave, Zeki. I don’t want to waste my time sitting here idly. My degree is very important to me.”She was talking to him while rearranging files in the side cupboard of the study. When she did not get an answer she placed back the pile and found him engrossed in some file.“Zeki?”No reply.“Ezequiel?”This time just a short “Hmm.”“Everyone in the palace is planning for the Coronation ceremony. I don’t think it’s wise for me to stay for that. The oath with all those formal words … I can watch it on TV, I promise. I will not get into any trouble if that’s what worries you. My friends are asking me to go there and attend classes otherwise my professors might be very rude.” She was not scared of the lady who called herself Alda. There was no need to tell Ezequiel anything about her encounter with the crazy woman.He was still too
“Honey, I am so sorry. Poppi and Elli were missing you. But we were kind of relieved that you must be happy. Enjoying to the fullest. Spoiled by the Royal family. But we did not have the slightest idea that you were going through so much.” Clara held her hand and started pressing it with worry.“Yeah.” Hazel took a deep sigh, “I was so sure of my pregnancy. Never knew ‘A False Positive’ even existed.” She chuckled.“I understand. You must be shattered when you heard the news.”“I was. I gave hell to Ezequiel as if it was his mistake. We were trying for it. But I didn’t know it could happen so easily without even trying much. But once it did. We were happy. Ezequiel was over the moon. And when I got to know that it’s not there.” She pointed towards her tummy, “Now, I don’t want anything more than a baby.” She pouted her lower lip with a long face but Clara stood
“My God. We are going to die tonight. Instead of having the best orgasm of my life here, I am serving these rich shitty people.” A waitress complained without being aware that the manager was standing right behind her.“Lena. It is because of these shitty rich people’s tips you survive. And it’s because of their presence you will return home with your pocket full of tips. Trust me you will not enjoy an orgasm on an empty stomach with a deflated pocket.”The stern voice straightened Lena. She pouted for getting caught and left the back room with a grudging face.The Coronation ceremony was about to start. The hall was full. Customers were asking for drinks and poor waitresses were on their toes juggling between customers, their orders, and their desire to have a look at the TV.The ceremony was about to start and most of them were trying to be helpful to Hazel by letting her watch the TV maximum as it was her boyfriend&r
“So. How is the feeling? Being announced the fiancée of a crown prince?” A girl who was also the daughter of a courtier asked her.“Oh, she must be feeling over the moon. Just look at her. She can’t tear away her gaze from his hot body.” The other girl remarked quite audibly causing everyone around her to erupt with laughter.“Aurelia. Now he is yours. Don’t wait for five days. Go and claim him now. Tonight.” Another one suggested Aurelia. They all seemed happy for her but Aurelia knew they all were reeking of jealousy.They all were daughters of courtiers and here Aurelia was the one who got this golden chance to become his soon-to-be wife. And soon. She could achieve that too.And the credit went to her parents.Aurelia wanted to feel happy but something was not right. She could feel it in the air. Before the ceremony, she was tense. After spending the last night tossing and turning in her be
She heard a ringing sound. Was it her phone? A wine bottle was placed near her on the rug. She was sitting on the carpet hugging her legs trying hard not to get any anxiety attacks.She had switched off her phones due to the continuous beeping of messages and calls. All of them were from her friends, Ivy, Dustin, and Ezequiel. But what was this fuc*king gurgling?The thought of Zeki was enough to make her cry. But why should she? She did not want to talk to anyone so sent a single message to all of them not to bother her.The single message was sent to everyone. Everyone except Ezequiel.Shit! Again the same name.She leaned her forehead on her knees, trying to chew her lower lip. Ezequiel always found it sexy.Fuc*k off Zeki. She stood up with frustration and started wearing an overcoat. She needed to get out of here. Get out of this apartment. It reminded her of Zeki. Everything reminded her of him. Even the engagement ring on her fi
Maria James had been holding her breath. She had watched her son exiting the hall with his fiancé. She knew she must rejoice it. Because it was a sign that he had accepted for the time being that Aurelia was his fiancée.But she knew her son better. He hated pretenses. Whatever he did, it was due to the face saving of his parents.Taking excuse from her guests she left the hall too. Just to follow them. Her son was upset. He was not happy. But right now she did not have a choice. Did she?She did saw them talking about something. He even touched Aurelia’s chin. She was at some distance so could not tell if it was friendly chat or not. But when Ezequiel left her, she seemed disappointed.When Aurelia walked away Maria quickly went towards his chambers.“Honey! What happened? Are you leaving? Are you going back to Hazel?” Maria James entered through slightly ajar room to find him packing his small bag.“No
“You did what?” Joshua literally shouted in frustration, “You got engaged to some random girl just because your mommy and daddy …”“Stop it Joshua. I thought you already watched it on TV.”“Don’t you dare stop me, Ezequiel. We were under attack. Nobody had fuck*ing time to watch the Coronation ceremony. Did you talk to our Luna?“I tried. But she is not taking my calls.”“Serve you right.” Joshua seemed too angry to hear anything.“Oh come on, Joshua. These human kingdoms can’t run like our packs. There is a lot of selfishness and greediness.”“Fuck with these humans, Ezequiel. Tell me. Did you call our Luna before the engagement or …”“I tried calling her before the announcement. But she was at work and could not receive it.” But Joshua was not ready to listen to any of the explanations.Just then Jos
