LAURAWe got to the kitchen. The moment she opened the kitchen door, I felt the same exciting feeling I felt when I first entered her kitchen. The luxurious kitchen utensils, the needed floor and the bright pink walls, all looked so beautiful. She started off by washing the bowl she intended to use for her cooking.“You wanted to tell me how you were kidnapped and how you escaped, right?” Cassey broke an egg into her bowl.“Yes, it was not a coincidence or an act of revenge. It was a well thought out plan by Rhett” I continued. “Before he was locked up in the dungeon, he instigated Killian, and that was how he ended up locked. He paid off the security guard to free him early in the morning.”“Why early in the morning? Wasn’t he supposed to be released that morning?” She asked, stirring her flour mixture.“Apparently, that was also part of his plan. He knew we would never have gone after him if he just disappeared. So he had to resort to such measures for gain,” I continued. “After he
LAURA“Hmm!” I exclaimed. “This tastes great. This particular Mac and cheese is definitely from the ones you’ve made before.”“Thank you so much, Laura,” she said smiling. “I doubted the recipe while I was writing it, I never knew it would turn out perfect.”“That’s the word! Perfect!” I finished my plate. “Can I have some more, please?”“You don’t have to ask, take some more,” Cassey dished another spoonful on my plate.“Can I say something?”“Yes, you can.”“Why don’t you serve your Mac and cheese at the party tonight?” I said.“There’s a party going on tonight in the palace?” She asked, surprised.“Yes, there is. It's to celebrate I and Killian’s return,” I continued. “And I think your delicious Mac and cheese should be served at the party.”“Oh no, I don’t think Killian would like that.”“Forget about Killian, I would like that. And I’ll like to see who’ll object to that,” I said bitterly.“I don’t want to cause quarrels between you and him,” she said, facing down on the floor.“N
LAURA“Laura! Laura!” Killian called running after me. “Where are you going with this? Don’t you know there are guests here?”“I know, but why are you so angry? Does this food look poisonous? Or life threatening to you?” I said furiously.“That’s not my point, Laura —““So what are you trying to say, Killian? That Cassey’s food are no good for your expensive party?” “That’s exactly what I meant! I don’t mean her food isn’t good for expensive parties, look at what you’re hold,” he commanded. “What did she cook?”“Macaroni and cheese.”“Which party have you been Mac and cheese at? Does this look like a house party to you? There are important people here so don’t —“Without letting him finish, I left him there and headed for the stage with the bowl of Mac and cheese in my hand. I climbed the stage and stole the microphone from the host.“Can everyone answers a question for me?” I asked be the small crowd murmured “yes.”“Will I be committing a sin if I had served you all macaroni and c
KILLIAN‘Ding dong,’ I rang the doorbell.“Who is it?” Lucio asked from behind the door. “It’s Killian at the door,” I replied.“Come on in, Killian,” he said as he opened the door and welcomed me. “Here, sit.”We both sat on the couch. “I came here to reveal to you an idea I got recently.”“Ok, tell me,” he said, curiously.“I think we should set a trap for the mysterious attacker tomorrow,” I said.“And why not today?” He asked anxiously.“It is because there is a party taking place tonight.”“Tonight? I haven’t received such news.”“I know, I’m the one organizing the party, I just thought of the idea to throw a party for I and Laura’s return,” I replied.“I don’t see any harm throwing the party,” he added.“Ok, fine, we’ll postpone our operation till tomorrow.”“Wonderful! I’ll be on my way. Goodbye now,” I waved and left his room.I left Lucio’s room and headed for mine. In no time, I got to my room. I exchanged greetings with Luke while I made way to go into my room. I haven’t wo
KILLIAN I walked to my bedroom and sat on the bed.I can’t fight this guy, from the scars on his face, he looks like he had killed thousands of alphas and taken over kingdoms in plenty, I thought.I sighed heavily to the thought of fighting that man. I dozed off that night while thinking.“I see you’re ready for the fight,” Gertrude barked. “Shall we begin?”He quickly transformed as I rushed at him seeing an opportunity. He caught me by my neck midair, while he glared into my eyes with so much hatred and bitterness.I broke free from his clutch and swung my right arm at him, but he caught it and he pulled me closer to him. He then pressed both palms on the side of my head. “Argh!” I screamed in pain.He applied more pressure as I tried to push his hand away but he didn’t budge. He lifted me above the floor and applied more pressure. I could feel my forehead fill up with bones that were now separating from the middle of my head. “Argh!” ‘Pop!’My head popped like a big pimple. His
KILLIAN “I think we should get him now,” Lucio whispered.We quickly transformed and rushed at my attacker and he also rushed at us. Lucio and I swung both our right arms at him and he clutched them and swung the both of us behind him.I stayed behind while Lucio went to attack him. Lucio punched him right across his face as he backed up unsteadily, I saw my chance and took it. I leaned into the air, welcoming my right foot on his chest. He fell to the ground and immediately got up again. Lucio and I rushed at him again. I went with my right foot, he caught it and dropped my leg. Lucio threw a punch at my attacker with his right arm. In defense, he blocked it with left forearm. And with his left arm, he punched me hard in my lower abdomen. Lucio, on his left, connected a kick to his rib cage. He winced in pain, holding his rib cage. Lucio tried another kick, but he dodged it. I hid behind an abandoned car, holding a stick ready to ambush my attacker. Lucio, on the other hand, mean
LAURALucio got angry and in a fit of rage he accepted the open challenge. He also called off the party angrily, he ordered everyone to go home immediately. I saw a strange look crawling around his face. A look I have never seen on him before. A look of fear. While returning back to my chamber I bumped into Cassey.“Oh no, Laura, what have you done?” She asked, wearing a sad look on her face. “You completely spilled my whole dish.”“I know, but don’t be sad, your dish isn’t needed anymore. The guests are already leaving.”“But why are they leaving? And why are you leaving as well?”“The party has been called off by Killian,” I said, leaving slowly. “Come to my chamber tomorrow and I’ll tell you why.”I hurriedly left the banquet hall and headed for my room. I got to my room and quickly freshened up. I wore my nightwear and sat on my bed thinking.Why would this strange man issue such a challenge? And why did Killian react in such a manner of fear? He looks frightened and scared of hi
LAURA I sat on a bench that was in the garden. The same blood runs through their veins and the zeal to abandon their responsibilities also runs in their veins. If I am not wrong, I think their father also ran away from his responsibilities, I thought.“Hmmm, Gova, I’m tired already. I don’t know what to do. Was I cursed? Did anyone cast an evil spell on me saying I won’t ever have a man by my side?” I said looking at her grave. “Why can’t I settle with a man?”Gova and I talked till the sun set. I had to go see Cassey and inform her about Killian’s departure.I knocked at her bedroom door but I didn’t get a reply, so I left her room and headed for her kitchen. ‘Ding dong,’ I rang the doorbell.“It’s open, come in,” Cassey's voice came from behind the door.I entered her kitchen and saw her cooking. “Hmm, what is that glamorous smell?”“I’m baking a cake,” she said smiling. “You’re here, is there anything you want to talk about?”“Yes,” I sighed heavily. “You were right about Killi
