Reyna Asher appeared at the door but I did not know what to feel or how to react to that. There was nothing that I could do to stop the images that replayed in my head. In just a flash it was like, I could retain all of my memories, even the half written ones. The ones that were set in stone in my thoughts, all came to light. I felt everything. The anger, hatred, pain, affection and care all at once. I remembered the song Waves by Dean Lewis which played at the back of my mind. I was expecting the feeling to pass, not that it only made it worse. The question followed, why did he take so long to find me? Was he doing it out of obligation? Was his intentions true or he was trying to hurt me just like the rest? For some reason the last question seemed answered in my head, it was whether or not I was going to accept it that was the issue. "We are going to leave you two together?" Myra and her mother were already walking away to give us time together but… "No. Please stay. Asher can
ReynaAsher felt betrayed and it seemed he didn't understand what I said the first time "I did not mean my words. I like it out here. It is peaceful and I do not have to worry about someone killing me." I said. They finally excused us when we got talking. Things were getting pretty heated but that was all it took for them to leave the conversation. I didn't spot Conan again and the rest of the family. For some reason I didn't want the family to see us here. Asher eyes stared at me alarmed. "How much do you remember?" He was on the verge of losing it. Everytime he wanted to reach out to me with his hands I pulled away before his skin touched mine. I didn't expect to see him here and maybe he fought great lengths to see me but it wasn't a decision I have to adhere to. "I remember everything. Staying in the hospital did something to me, I felt I was so scared and honestly someone was trying to kill me before." I said, not missing the surprise on his face. He obviously thought I w
ReynaHe had to excuse himself, after he saw how busy we were. I told him I was going to be with him shortly. I knew the meaning of shortly, I was going to contemplate that decision until I was ready to speak with him, which might take a while. We were almost done here but he was staring right at me but I couldn't bring myself to walk close to him or ask him what he still wanted here. Myra's father said something about the cars leaving, so I suspected that he must have gone. I felt Myra coming close to me, her breath was close to my neck."Won't you go to ask him what he wants?" I shook my head as I continued to glare at him. "If he has not gone by now, then it means that he is into you and he wants you to really come home with him. The last time I have seen something this close to a bond is between mates. You guys have a connection." I contorted trying to make sense of what she was saying. My heart started racing although I didn't like the picture Myra was painting. He had a fiance
ReynaI didn't know if I should be happy or sad. Maybe the rage has been infused inside my blood that I do not know what anger feels like anymore. Maybe I was too much into my fear that nothing makes sense anymore. I knew Asher was involved and from the moment I saw him talking to them, I knew something was up. I still remember the conversations, how I was looking for a ticket out to make sure that thing stayed as I had planned it. "I'm sorry but we do not want trouble with the werewolf king. We were a peaceful pack and we have tried to stay out of trouble, especially in things they do not concern us." Myra and Conan were trying to fight against what their father had said not I did not want her to do that. Even when I had nothing to say. I was still starstruck by the fact that I was going back to the mansion. I didn't want to cause a scene that might have its own consequences."Dad, please. All she is trying to ask is a few days just to get herself back together. She is still recover
ReynaKayla seemed different. Each time I stared at her, there was this sadness that was glued to her but she fixed a smile on her face for a long time. Long enough to know that we were standing up close but I didn't know what to feel."How are you, Reyna?" She asked but I narrowed my eyes on her. The day was already going terribly but I didn't want to be the epitome of someone's mockery. "Been…fine." For some reason Asher stood close to me and watched the both of us as the silence only grew heavier. "I'm going up to my room. That's if it's still there waiting for me. I'm so glad to be back." I forced a smile that hurt my cheeks. I was moving close to the hallway when I heard her voice."I'm happy that you were found honestly. I could come by later if you need someone to talk to." I Shook my head and made my way to my room. It was so strange that she was being so nice all of a sudden. I do not think the imagery I have of her in my head is going to fade. I was still very wary about
Reyna"Reyna, who was the maid that served you." Asher asked again. It was this attention that I was avoiding that was why I wanted to keep the truth to myself. For a moment,I hated that I regained a part of my memory. Asher was using me to push his authority on everyone. Maybe when I questioned his decisions, it was a terrible thing for me to do. Maybe it is a good thing? A good way to stay safe without the fear of something happening to me. Maybe it is a good thing. Even if I spotted the maid out it was hard to tell if it was really her decision to poison me or maybe I was just allergic to something. I started questioning myself and my decisions, there was no way to handle the situation. I was in the middle of a big situation and I feared it was going to consume me."Asher this is ridiculous!" Ksyla chimed in. I turned to face her and her face was becoming pale. She kept tapping her feet on each other, same with her fingers. She is restless."Darling, stay out of it. I want to comp
ReynaEvery night I dream of the Maud in gruesome scenes. My dreams were quite familiar with her and her words. Considering the fact that I couldn't get her to speak about who she was working for. Leonard's words also have visited my dreams and how they have been constantly tugging my sleeves was alarming. The pain knowing that everything could get worse from here gave me great anxiety. In a short while, a lot has happened to the room I have occupied in this place. Evetunkyght I sat up to stare at the void of darkness I chose to stay in. It was unlike me to be quiet about my situations but everything had been so pretty much tight lately. Slowly, as time passed I became bored out of my mind even when everything I tried to indulge my mind and heart was becoming exhausting. To save me from the stress that might accumulate, I started helping out in the kitchen. I wasn't a slave in this house, I was the one that is supposed to get married to Asher. The little bride that everyone has soon
ReynaI had the urge to answer her due to her unkindness towards me. Her hostility reminds me of home and everything in between that I had lost, staring at her. I rather lose control of my thoughts than to be conscious and not do anything about it. She was looking for ways to start a conversation, she kept tapping her feet and the sound was distracting. I paid her no mind as I became bored of her standing beside me, not saying anything.I was about to speak but she beat me to it."How are you spending these few days back." She had a wonderful smile but I just couldn't relax in her presence. I nodded."So far, been fine. Nobody had tried to poison me recently, I guess it's going great." My sarcasm wasn't something I would love to progress but it was good to snap at her like that. I saw her squint in confusion. It was obvious that she didn't like my reply but I just couldn't help it. Kayla was wearing a white sneakers, a button up shirt that showed some skin, and some baggy jeans. She h
KaylaI know that this moment is going to be the most tense moment of my life. I am not prepared for it, but I know I am going to scale through.Asher's appearance is not friendly, neither is his word. I just hope we don't end up broken tonight."Now you can't say anything,"he scoffs, 'I know you won't be able to say anything. You are just so terrible and stubborn," he expressed and he is not yet done.Those words hitting my ear were like sharp arrows. My heart is kinda bleeding at its shoot. I don't know the reason behind his anger, but I guess it must be Reyna.Opening my mouth agape, I finally have something to say. "Why would you say such a thing to your wife… what have I done wrong?" I said, so that he will explain what is wrong.Looking at me like a hungry lion, he said, "just stop the pretense, woman… have you forgotten what you said earlier? Now I am here…."I didn't allow him to finish his words when I cut his words short. "Hold it right and don't speak too much. This house i
Kayla'Geez…' that insult meets me in a place I couldn't for once I had thought it would. I felt hurt and at the same disgraced.That word of hers pierced my soul just like a bullet would do. I don't know why I took things too far, but I just have to do things my own way.Walking hurriedly to my room, her voice penetrated my ear."Don't ever dare me again… don't try me." Those are the words from Reyna and I felt so, so bad.I walk into my room and have the door banged immediately with thoughts making my heart a dwelling place. Everything is just so pathetic, 'even her…' I could believe what I just heard. There is no one that would say Reyna said those hurtful words, I will never believe it.All I wanted is for her to stay away from my husband so that he will have time for me. All I see now is like he has interest in Reyna.'I don't really want him to leave me for her. What do I do?' I let out a heavy question. All I require is an answer to it.I am kinda tired of it all. Everything i
ReynaI walk out of Asher's room with total shame and an intense anger welling in me. 'Did I deserve this treatment?' I had to let down that question, unfortunately there were no answers and with the look of things It's like a deserved it.I am really tired of everything. I could hear their argument immediately when I stepped out of his room, but I am interested to listen. I walk hurriedly to my room with tears running down my cheek.I know Kayla is the problem. I don't know why she hates me that much. Entering my room, I banged the door right behind me. Looking at how my room is properly arranged, I felt empty within myself. I let out a heavy sigh and had my eyes rotate around the whole room in a giffy. 'What do I do for real? I don't think leaving this mansion is really the solution.'That thought in my heart just has to stay, I didn't have a choice than to retain that thought. I just have it dangling in my heart while I think heavily.'What do I do?' I had to question myself aga
Asher That moment my jaw dropped, 'what did I just hear?' I can't fathom it neither could I wrap my head around her words.Instead of me seeing what she just said, all I see is her pain and agony towards the maltreatment that Kayla exhibits. That moment I felt bad for her, but what do I do? I just can't let her leave. If I do, I am just devilish and I won't have anyone with such a vague name."I am tired of it all. I want to leave," that word slides out of her lips.Immediately she intensified it, I saw brokenness and extreme pain. Looking at her face, I can see her eyes welling up. I know it's tears that want to have their way."I will take my leave now," she said and wanted to stand from where she had planted her head.I can't just let her go like she is heavily pregnant and I have to consider that. Getting up, I had to draw her back.Pulling her backwards, she falls to the bed. I could see shock all written on her face."You can't leave, Reyna…. You can't," I have to let those wo
AsherI let that word out of my lips with a long stare. I could see reluctance shown in her face. With that, I know she isn't interested in doing it. Anyways it's punishment, so it's a must.Opening her mouth agape, "but why will I be the one to make food for you?" Kayla had to let that word out. She can't just be silent.I let out a heavy sigh. Fixing my gaze on her that moment, "who do you think you are?" I intentionally let out that question, because I was infuriated."Asher… I am your wife, not a person you picked from the street. Why would I be making your dishes when someone is here doing it already?" she emptied those words on my face.I scoffed that moment and tilted backward gently. With an intense gaze on her, I let out a sigh, "who do you think you are?" I intentionally asked again. This time, I made sure it's more intense and heavy. Kayla walked up to me and stared at me in the face before she finally opened up her mouth to spell out some things I didn't expect. "I will
AsherPerceiving the aroma of the food got me on my toes. 'Today, I am going to ravish this food.'That is my thought at the moment considering the kind of vibes I am getting from my tummy. Walking to the dining table, I took my seat and lit my face with a smile as well. In no time other people converged at the dining room. Seeing their smiley faces made me happy too. I opened my food right away.'Damn!' the aroma that strained out of the food is giving. I couldn't help myself but to swallow my saliva, because my mouth watered at that moment.Observing everyone's gaze, they were all focused on ravishing the delicious food in front of them.Instead of me focusing on all of them, I kinda need to focus on eating my own food.Shoving my spoon into the food, I dipped it into my mouth.Chewing it, my eyes widened with shock, but at that moment, I couldn't help but spit the food out of my mouth. Fixing my gaze at Reyna that moment, I called her name with a harsh voice even with them focu
KaylaMy heart couldn't stop itself from rising heavily. My heart couldn't just believe what Asher just did. If anybody would have said this about him, I will say it's definitely a lie.My gaze was all fixed on him. I guess he didn't even mind what I would think about his decision. He banged the door behind him without looking back.'Now I know my place,' I muttered in the midst of my pain. I didn't expect things would turn out this way. Although I was scared at first about what just happened. Immediately he walked off, I swallowed some saliva and walked back to my room covered in lots of thoughts. 'This is the height of it all. I need to do something really quick. I can't just allow her to take over everything. No… I can't.' That is my resolve and I am bent on doing the needful. I can't just let her take over everything I have.Sitting on my bed, I rested my head on the pillow, at least I should allow the inner thoughts to flow effortlessly.Not quite long, I heard a knock on my
Kayla"Fuck!" I scream at the top of my voice as the pain dilated through my body. Not quite long, Reyna walks right back with a napkin.Seeing her with the napkin got me more furious. My eyes changed at that instant. I couldn't stop my tongue from rolling down a harsh word."Are you that dumb? A bruised hand would be cleaned with a napkin? Argh…you disgust me," I expressed in pure disgust.I couldn't just think it, nor could I believe that a person could be as foolish as her. Watching her move forward and backwards like a fool. I had to clear the air, "don't you know you need to get some water…at least for me to cool this hot hand.""Oh… I am really sorry," she said and rushed off.My eyes run through her pathetic body with pure hatred. Her attitude and manner of doing things irritates me. I don't know why Asher is just so interested in her.While my mind processed her foolishness, my bruised hand wouldn't stop paining me. "Get here, Reyna" I rolled those words out at my highest vo
Kayla.I stayed up all night waiting for Asher, hoping that he would come bursting through the door saying all sorts of sweet nothing that I loved to hear. The more I stared at the door, the tighter it remained closed. It was like the screams of my mind only echoed away with the silence and as much as I tried to wait to stop the blank noise from filling my ears, there was nothing much I could do. I sighed drifting to sleep not knowing what else to do. I thought maybe Hayden would be the one to satisfy my needs at this point because I didn't like the idea of waiting more than I have been for hours. I have tried to understand why he didn't see the need to inform me about him not making it home tonight.I miss him. I miss the man I once knew. The one that stayed up with me and listened to my worries and made them his. Everyone thinks I'm the villain but I'm not. I just hated the strange foot stepping into the little space that I have created for the both of us. Until this throne came in
