After all, she was the discarded princess, that not only his father, the Emperor hated, but the other princes and princesses in the palace.
“Are you here?” Lara knocked on the door and a man opened it.
“Miss Reid,” the man was looking at the window, he was tall and muscular. His hair color was silver and shined with the light from the moon outside. However, even with all his mysterious and dangerous air, he was still handsome.
Lara moved inside and closed the door, then she took out the papers from her cape, “I have the contract here, Your Highness, please sign it.”
The man didn’t turn around but smirked. That woman was the only one with the gut

“Sign them and fuck off.”Those were the words Amanda Lind wanted to hear the most and she finally got them. However, she couldn’t look happy nor amazingly enjoying the whole situation.She couldn’t even stand up and clap or laugh in glee. She couldn’t shake the hand of the man who just a second before was her husband, though it was a political marriage, and just for one year. She just wanted to take his handsome face between her hands and kiss it saying ‘Thank you, asshole! Let’s not see each other in this life again.’All she could do was to exclaim ‘Freedom!’ in her mind and wait.Her expression was of some distressed wife that was abandoned. That face she was showing could be the best design of the most powerful actress. ‘I can win an Oscar with this.’She needed the drama, and she knew how to add it, a single tear came running down her soft cheek. “Why are you doing

For five consecutive days, from the moment she landed in the most paradisiac beach. She went on a happy holiday and the song she was humming was evidently the ‘I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world…’“Cutie, are you alone?”“Yes,” she said when two boys with handsome looks and beautiful bodies appeared before her. ‘Goodness, those abs…’ she even licked her lips when the two of them laughed and sat beside her.She was hoping to find someone like them to pass the time and eventually lose herself from the long year of the ‘watch but don’t touch’ torture that ML had made her go through.However, as nothing in the main villainess life can go easy, she ended up drunk.

"Good, my little beauty, now take off your clothes for us to see the goods."The need to throw up grew on Emma's mouth. She put her hands up and they thought she was going to start stripping, however, just when she was reaching her belt she stopped. "Are you changing your mind, little girl?"She smiled, "you sure are the scum of the world, it is only right for me to remove you from this lane and let you wash your sins.""What are you saying bitch?!"One of the man behind took out his whip and tried to hit her but just then, she moved fast and took the whip with her bare hands. The three became stunned for a second but before they could move, she trapped them inside a space sphere each of them.

She planned to start her own business and live quietly, with just a small business and nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.“Good, this is a good place,” she smiled and looked around. The place had been renovated since the moment she bought it from an old couple.

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room.

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions.

However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity.

As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care.

She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night.

The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market.

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away.

They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group.
