She touched the ruby and somehow it felt like deja vu. She watched as he caressed her hair and fixed it. He stared at her neck for long as he smiled. She looked up at him as he lowered his head. But he stopped himself. Was he stopping himself because of her? “Uhh,” She was puzzled. Were we about to kiss?” “No.” He chuckled and flicked her forehead lightly. She frowned and reached her forehead. “Why did you give me a ruby?” “Because it looks good on you.” She glared at him. “Your wife will be pissed off you if you give another woman a necklace?” He was silent as he scooped her face. “Stop saying nonsense and let’s just go and have dinner.” He put his arms over her shoulders. “I have to discuss with you some other things.” She groaned and shook her head, realizing that it was another lesson. “You know what? I don’t want to hear it.” “I’ll take you around the castle tomorrow and the land that your brother was ruling.” They started walking back to the castle, escorting
He looked down at it. “Yes, that’s Gideon. Firstborn.” “This?” She showed another. “That’s Ezekiel, my grandson from Gideon.” “Wow, they are like siblings rather than~~” She titled their heads. “They are handsome as well.” Sylvester reached her chin. “Sure, they are. Their mother is exceptionally beautiful.” “Ohh,” she nodded. “Make sense.” She moved closer to him. “Do you have any women in your family?” She asked. “I have a daughter,” He said. “She~~looked like her mother but she died at a young age. We lost her.” “Oh, I see.” She nodded. “I’m sorry to hear that.” “The champagne might be cold now.” He said as she stood and handed him the phone. He didn’t take it as she poured champagne on the glasses and his phone started vibrating. A handsome face popped up, it might be Gideon. “Uh, your son is calling you.” He approached her. “How do you answer that?” “You just have to swipe this green one. Oh, it’s a video call.” She exclaimed and answered it. “Father!” Gideon exclai
Caroline was catching her breath as she tried to get away from that dark shadow. But it caught her, his tendrils wrapped around her neck as she stared at those pairs of red and green eyes. His silver hair started turning gray. “You will ruin my plan, little Caroline. You will ruin it again.” She had no weapon and the magic that wrapped around her was strong as her body hit a concrete statue in the middle of the fountain. The man started chanting elvish words as he pushed her down on the water. She reached his face as she mumbled some words, her spell, the elvish spell that was told to her to be able to come back again and manage the House of Poets. She sat up as she started coughing. Her nose and throat hurt as she looked around as she reached her throat. Sylvester reached her face and caressed her hair. “You are here.” She whispered. “Of course, my love.” He kissed her forehead and somehow, she felt a blissful warmth from that kiss. “I’ll get you water.” He went to the f
Winter woke up puzzled when she found a white wedding dress that looked like it was from a fairy fantasy. Caroline squirmed and crawled to her and hugged her.She doesn't know what to say. But why a wedding? She couldn’t even kiss Paxton as he liked. Tongue to tongue. Now a wedding? She turned to Caroline and used her hand to communicate. What’s with the dress? I didn’t sign up for this. “I’m sorry, but being with Paxton means you also have a duty as his wife and Duchess.” She sighed. “I know it is hard. But have you made love to him?” She raised her hand to answer but she was speechless. All they did was make out. They haven’t gone all the way in. “You will understand him further if your bond is completed.” She whispered to Winter. “The wedding is in the afternoon. For now, let’s have our spa.” Winter shook her head.I’m sorry, but I am not ready for this.Caroline was silent. “This is more like a political wedding, Winter. My brother loves you so much and I am sure that you lo
Dominick watched his wife prepare for their wedding. Paxton already sent out photos of his wedding. Ciel and Monique were busy taking care of their castle. Since his wife wanted to spend a lot of money on their wedding using the ones she received from the clients, he let her rush everything and have the best grand wedding reception and coronation. “You are spending so much money, my love,” Dominick said. “I am. I am wealthy.” She sighed as she took out the skeleton plan and the architectural plan for their old wrecked mansion. She also had access to their family money courtesy of her husband. “I plan to have our honeymoon by the beach. In our rest house, but then, I think that after I was crowned as Queen, the war would start.” “Yeah, you are right.” Dominick looked at Landon who was currently busy checking out the vault. They are currently in Paxton’s office, the one that he should be guarding. Christopher showed up the wirings and its internet connection. “All I need is to a
She screamed out of her lungs, people were gathered with their gardener fork, pointing at her. Everything around her felt so tall. The people are so tall. “Monster!” The woman threw a stone at her head. “Monster!” They kept chanting. She scurried away but she was caught. They tied her up on a pool and a wooden stage. They stacked up more wood and they kept throwing eggs and other things. She felt the pain in her head as blood rolled down to her cheek. She looked at Camille who looked so much like Bella and the lady named Lavinia who was recently rescued by Camille. She came forward to take her and save her but a notorious vampire jumped towards her. She fought the man as people screamed, running off. A man in a black hood, with silver hair approached her. “Not even fire can kill the Princess of the Vampires. So, I must kill your soul.” “Who~~who are you?” “You have your mother’s features,” he smiled. She noticed his long ears behind the hood. She wasn’t wrong about it. He
Lavinia nearly jumped when a ghost dropped in front of her. She reached her but was unable to. “Willow!” Lavinia called as Willow reached her neck like she was being suffocated. “What’s going on? How can I help?” She knelt on the floor. Willow reached her neck to where her necklace was. She took it out and somehow, it was glowing. “The~~” She chokes. “The Relic~of Deaths.” “This?” Lavinia opened the shell as Willow collapsed on the ground but she somehow could breathe. “Ulric was chasing me… after he tried to hurt Solenn.” Lavinia creased her brows, her heart was still palpitating from both shock and worry. “I need my father… I need my mother…” Tears rolling down her cheeks. “Please…” Lavinia nodded as she didn’t realize that tears were rolling from her eyes. “You survived that night…” She caught her breath. “Camille, the one with ocean eyes… Did she die because of me?” Lavinia’s eyes widened from realization. That’s why she’s familiar. It wasn’t just Monique, but h
Sylvester doesn't want to move away from her. She stepped back while she was trying to push him. He pulled her before she tripped into the empty fountain. “Stop!” He growled at her. Caroline froze. “You’ll hurt yourself.” He pulled her away from the fountain, away from it as he glared at it. He should’ve destroyed it and other fountains. But it wasn’t just the fountain that killed her. He turned to her as he lowered his head, his eyes softened from her scared eyes. He pulled her face closer as he leaned his forehead to hers. “I don’t understand~~this is insane.” She mumbled. “Mom must know and named me after her! This is so sick.” “Caroline,” She whispered. “Our family~~” “I am mated to the daughter of this family, Caroline. Please stop dying… if you die again, I will follow you this time. I won’t wait.” Her eyes dilated as she hit his chest. “Is this why you are always with me? Looking at me with those eyes like~~you are missing someone. Well, I have to break it to yo
