"I begged you not to kill him but you wouldn't listen. And all because of that stupid Ava, first, she took you away from me, and now that I have found someone else to love she wants to take that also? how can all the guys be crazy about her, I mean what does she have that I don't? I know she's pretty but that doesn't mean that she can get all the guys in the world. I'm starting to hate her she's the course of all this problem"

Damon could see the pain and bitterness in her eyes as she spoke and it pained him to know that he was the reason why tears could be seen in Zulu's eyes. And on the other hand, Chase looked hurt by her words.

Damon had already beaten Alex almost to the point of death.

"Forgive me, Zulu, I let my anger get the better part of me. I had promised to protect you and now I am the cause of your pain. I'm sorry"

"Sorry, you're telling me you're sorry after almost killing my beloved, you say you're sorry, tell me, what's your sorry going to do for me will it heal the

    Unknown "Please let me go. Damon must be worried about me." Ava cried The blindfold was taken off her eyes and she was shocked to see Travis standing in front of her. "Hello, sister." "Travis, how could you kidnap me? I demand you take me back to the palace." "Don't you get it? I have always loved you. But you choose to ignore my feelings for you. And then I heard the news of your death, only for me to see you back again. It was a sign that we were destined to be together." He blabbed "I was your sister, you psycho.""But not anymore. Now we're not related. Nothing is stopping us from being together now." "I love Damon Travis, please. I'm carrying his child." "Not for long ava" "Look, I don't remember much from my past but I know you're a good person. Don't do this. Damon would kill you if he finds you but if you let me go, I promise no one will know about this." I tried to reason with him "Travis, please don't do anything to her." A girl walked into the room.

    "You have been going for several training sessions for a very long time, Ava, and I still don't understand why a girl like you needs so much training, especially those sword fights you involve yourself in, all in the name of training," my mother complains. I let out a sigh, used to hearing her objections. "You know very well, mother. I need to find a job to help support our household, but I also feel this strong urge to train myself and become stronger. It's not just for me, but for my future as well." She shakes her head disapprovingly. "You don't need that, Ava. What you need is to find a man who is strong enough to protect you." "But mother, I can protect myself. Why should I rely on a man to do the job for me? Why do mothers think that their daughters are weak creatures who always need a man's protection?" I grab an apple and take a bite. "And please, stop worrying about me. I'll find a job tomorrow if that will make you happy and stop you from nagging me." "That's more like it

    Ava walked alone to the bus station, looking around as she took a seat. The surroundings were still and dark, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy about staying so late in that mansion. Boredom got the best of her, and she decided to take a peek at the rule book she had been given. Pulling it out, she stared at it intently. "He sure does value accuracy, doesn't he? It's almost like going to school, but instead, it's a cleaning school. Quite the interesting job," Ava mused to herself. Opening the book, she began to read the first rule. "Always arrive at six, or else two hundred thousand dollars will be deducted from your seven hundred dollar salary." Ava's eyes widened, shock evident on her face. "I'll be getting paid seven hundred dollars just to clean his house? This is incredible! In three months, I'll have a total of two point one million dollars, more than enough for my schooling and my brother's as well." Ava smiled at the thought. "Who knows? Maybe I'll work here for a whole

    "You need to stop crying, Ava. The master scolded everyone," Lady Martha murmured, still searching for the perfect skirt for me. It seemed like my attempt to reassure myself failed, as I continued to cry. "I know, Lady Martha, but what if I lose half of my salary? That's why I'm crying. Mother was so happy when she heard how much I would be earning by the end of the month." I couldn't understand why, but I couldn't stop myself from crying. Perhaps it was because nobody had ever spoken to me like that before. If it weren't for the situation at home, I wouldn't be here as a maid. I would be in school with my friends. But look at me now. If only father hadn't passed away... life can be so cruel. "But the master did say he pardoned you, right?" Nodding, Lady Martha smiled warmly. "Don't worry about that, then. Your money is safe and secure," she promised. "But you know, Lady Martha, the master shouldn't have raised his voice at me." Lady Martha stopped what she was doing and focused h

    As I watched the wolves devour the last piece of flesh, a mixture of disgust and hunger overwhelmed me. "You love it, don't you," I mumbled to myself, taking a step back and leaning against the wall to catch my breath. The task of feeding these wild animals had taken me hours, and now I felt famished. It was ironic that I had just vomited the little breakfast I managed to eat this morning, only to now find myself craving a proper meal. These creatures, given a chance, could easily kill and consume me alive."Hey there!" The blond maid I had met earlier called out, waving her hands to get my attention. "If you're done with your work, lunch is being served in the servants' dining hall," she informed me with a warm smile."I'll be right there!" I replied, grateful for the invitation. Determined to prioritize my well-being, I made a mental note to quickly clean the master's room after I had eaten. Hopefully, he wouldn't return anytime soon."I'm Ava, by the way," I introduced myself."You

    As soon as Ava finished her work, she let out a tired sigh, feeling the exhaustion creep over her. "I'm leaving, master," she whispered weakly. She realized that it was late now and she would have to walk home."Come," Damon muttered, but she remained standing where she was, momentarily forgetting that he hated having to repeat himself. When he turned around and prepared to scold or shout at her, she hurriedly stepped towards him."M-Master?" she called.Standing just an inch away from him, she swallowed nervously, bracing herself for whatever was to come. "You did a really good job, Ava," he said, his fingers moving to the necklace she wore around her neck. "And you've been a good girl." Looking up at him, she felt an odd mix of emotions. The fact that he referred to her as a "good girl" felt strange, yet somewhat pleasing. "I didn't punish you because you told me the truth, but if it happens again, I will give you a spanking.""A spanking?" The words slipped out before she could stop

    Alex released his hand from her mouth as soon as she promised not to scream. "How did you get into my room? How the heck did you even know where I live?" she whispered angrily."Sorry," I said, running my hands through my hair. I moved backward and sat on her bed, never averting my gaze from her. I watched as she dropped her bag. She still looked beautiful, just as before, but now she had brown hair and brown eyes. God, I had missed her so much."What do you want from me, Alex?" she asked, rolling her hair up into a messy bun."I just want to get to know you better," I replied with a smile. She shot me a confused look. "I know you don't know me and probably don't have any feelings for me, but I want that to change. I want us to get to know each other.""Like friends?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.I laughed and stood up. "Not friends, Ava. I want to be more than a friend to you. I want to take care of you, to love you." I moved closer to her, whispering the last part. "Marry you.""

    Ava remained still, her thoughts consumed by who would attend her funeral. Her mother and brother would be devastated. I hadn't even received my salary before I died, and it was only my second day here.Why did I always end up in so much trouble? It sickened and annoyed me. "Ava," he finally said something, commanding me to lift my head. I obeyed and watched as he tilted his head to the left. "Get back to work!" he growled. Everyone turned their gaze away and continued with their tasks."Master, I...""Shh," he interrupted. He wasn't smiling or frowning. How was I supposed to know what was going on in that thick head of his? I thought he was leaving, so why did he turn back? "I will continue this little chat later. I have something more important to attend to," he said before mumbling something under his breath. "After cleaning my room, I want you to kneel and wait until I return. If you even think of disobeying me, I will know." And with that, he left.Watching him walk away, I practi

    After the incident in which Ava saw Anna and me kissing, I thought she would come back here yelling and telling me how much she hated me for it. I have not seen her I guess she locked herself up in the room. Maybe I should just apologize I can't take this silence anymore. I wonder why ladies have to be so difficult. I mean, she was the one who upset me and now I'm about to ask for forgiveness from her. I just hope she doesn't plan on getting rid of my child cause of her crazy dreams. I made my way to our chambers only to find them empty. I checked the bathroom and the balcony but it was empty as well. Where could she have gone? I just hope she hasn't done anything foolish. "Grant, Chase," I yelled and they came almost immediately "What could be making you scream my name like the house is on fire," Chase answered. "Where is Ava? I mean, have any of you seen her 'cause I can't seem to find her." "I don't understand shouldn't she be in her room? Grant asked " I just said I can't fi

    I still can't believe Damon kissed Anna, I mean we just argued and he was already running into the hands of another woman. And he keeps professing his undying love for me. Doesn't he know that I will get hurt by what he just did? What am I saying, maybe I walked in at the wrong time.Maybe she kissed him without permission, maybe that's true but Damon doesn't seem bothered. I guess I need to confront him. I was already on my way to give him a piece of my mind when suddenly I felt someone put a handkerchief over my nose and I passed out. ••••*Unknown* "I can't believe she is pregnant for that bastard. I have always loved her but yet she never noticed or should I say she chose to ignore my feelings for her. I lost her once because I never made any effort to gain her love but not this time. Not when I finally have a chance with her." "But son don't you think this is all wrong? I mean she's…" "Enough father, I don't care if it's right or wrong. All I care about right now is making h

    " the truth is that I know I am weak " She frowns then clears her throat "I know that I am not strong so I don't need....." The next thing happening is her vomiting on my favorite rose in the palace. What did she eat? Damn, I love those flowers! Damon watches the sleeping Ava, right after throwing up, she loses consciousness, is she sick? The physician still hasn't arrived "Ava" I mumble the moment I notice her eyes blink thrice before slowly opening them, she turns and looks my way. She looks kind of pale, why didn't I notice she was sick? I was so busy being mad at her that I forgot to take proper care of her. " Damon?" She smiled " I feel so weak right now " she sat up gently, " I think I got the flu, I'm sorry" Titling my head to my left I study her gently "You are sorry? For what? Being sick? common ava or your body is telling you not to get angry so easily, you might vomit to death you know " "I'm sorry Ava, sorry for not being able to take good care of you. I just let anger

    She steps closer and slaps me "I am not weak, you take that right back " and then it hits me. She remembers Damon's gaze moved back to aggravated Ava " Why the hell are you here" I couldn't help to get annoyed as well " What if something bad happened to you, this is a battlefield for crying out loud " " a battlefield where all your enemies are lying dead, I am not weak Damon, I can take care of myself " " of course, you aren't weak " I frown "How did you even get your memory back ?" " why are you asking" she furrows her brows " Were you even bothered about my memory loss? " I frown, saying nothing else. I know this will lead to a long argument. I am about to give her the argument she wants but not now and not here. "You were happy with the fact that I lost my memory. Weren't you?" She gasped " Sebastian, take her to the palace" "I am not moving from this spot "Exhaling I tried calming myself down but before I could reply to her, Alex shoved me aside " Ava, how did...."

    " Forgive me milady " he smiles and I frown" Right now we need you to get ready for us to leave for the palace" " are we going to be living there?" I ask while moving back into the house, Sebastian nods his head and I lift the book I was given yesterday "Can this book talk? " I turn and look at Sebastian " I have a feeling it is alive" of course I am alive" I blink because all that happened was fast, the book flying from my hands and becoming human, a woman with dark long hair " A mistress that can lose her memories so fast?"" what are you" I looked closely and Travis gasped " Don't tell me Ava is running mad " he steps closer " Who are you talking to Ava? " " the book, it is human " I look at her "They can't see you?" " no mistress, only you can "She moved closer " I can give you back your memories master but it will cost you a great deal " My gaze urges her to speak "You will have to release me, you just need to say the word and I will be master of my own, people will be able t

Looking up at him, I Lean close and kiss his forehead "Sleep, I won't leave you "A smile forms on his lips. " thank you sugar" With that he closed his eyes and I could tell he was already asleep. •••• Ava kept an eye on him as he slept, he did say today he will be king, does that mean the battle is ending today? How am I supposed to get back the memory I am said to have lost " Damon " I mumble then sigh, whenever I say that name my body reacts strangely. He sleeps peacefully and he looks so handsome. Moving his hair from his face I watch him smile " I thought you would kiss me " he muttered, his eyes still closed " I won't mind if you do, so go ahead " " Why would I want to do that anyway?

    After Zulu was told by Damon to go heal Alex, she didn't waste any more time as she left immediately heading to the man she had grown to love, Alex. Zulu watches Alex frown the moment he realizes Ava has gone " Where the hell is Ava, she should be here. I remember leaving her here with you, didn't I? " he turned in my direction and I had to shrug. " I told her to stay still, I was worried about you so I left to come to check up on you " Alex ran his hands through his hair, frowning " Zulu, I told you clearly to keep an eye on her, she is too...." Waving my hands I make him stop talking, he furrows his brows, and even while hurt he still worries about Ava.
