Rose jumped to her spot when she heard the same familiar voice that had deprived her of her peace. She slowly turned behind only to confront the same pair of purple eyes."Y-You? W-Who are you?"Rose asked nervously while her eyes ran over her gothic features making her heart shudder. The girl was dressed in a gaudy purple dress that had a deep plunging neckline revealing her large bosoms and a high thigh slit. Her lips were coated in black shade and her long, wavy silver hair was flowing in the air. She was wearing knee-length boots and purple gloves. Her aura radiated dominance and malice.Rose trembled at her sight. That time she had only seen her eyes, she didn’t know that her savior would be this scary in appearance. An uneasy feeling crept into her chest.“Trusting these demonic creatures is equivalent to digging your own grave. They could be our enemies who are finding ways to get to us.”‘What if he is right? What if she is an enemy?’, Rose vaguely wondered. Calix’s words had
Diana's P.O.V."Only one chapter is left. I will complete it by this week,"Closing the book, I leaned my head back on the chair and closed my eyes to relax my mind.Initially, I thought to reveal the truth of this library to Zachary but later dropped the idea because he wouldn't let me enter here again. And I will be again chided for risking my safety.But the main reason behind this was Zachary's brooding nature. Nowadays he's too tense and gets angry at the smallest things. Though Zagan had lost all the previous wars with Zachary instead of surrendering, he would double down his efforts and come back with new strategies.Also, I think that this library isn't such a big issue. Moreover, I ain’t a child who needs permission for everything. It's only a library, a place which would never hurt anyone.I always sneak into here and come back to the room when Zachary is about to return. The best part is that he hadn't become suspicious by now. Also, I don't want to give him unnecessary trou
*Slap* Jasmine palmed her left cheek and let out a cry when she received a tight slap from her elder sister. Rose lost her patience and again slapped Jasmine as she was beyond angry after hearing the whole story of how Jasmine tricked everyone to marry the future king of Heaven. Not only that, she was too mad to get Theodore that she didn’t even think twice before making a deal with Zachary who helped her in escaping. Rose further threatened Jasmine to tell her about Theodore and his family’s behavior with her and having no choice, Jasmine told her everything in detail. How she spent her days and nights in this royal palace with tears and pain. Rose was enraged by Theodore and George but the fact that her sister whom she had raised with her own hands destroyed her whole life because of her selfishness hurt her more. And that hurt only took the form of raw anger. She continued scolding Jasmine who took everything silently. "I-I am sorry" "SHUT UP!" Rose harshly cut her off making
Jasmine and Rose remained rooted on their spot. With bated breaths, they slowly tilted their heads to the left only to find Theodore standing there along with George who was staring at them smugly with his hands dipped in the pocket of his pants.Jasmine was scared shitless but her eyes widened when it hit her that they didn’t enter from the door. Rather they came through a secret door that was hidden behind the bookshelf.“How come I didn’t even realize that there was a secret pathway here?“, Jasmine muttered under her breath, her hazel eyes still stuck on that metallic door. But the ground slipped beneath her feet when Theodore replied to her.“Because you were too busy fabricating your new plans with Zachary.”He knows.He fucking knows.Her heart stopped. She was doomed. Now he will throw her out and she wouldn’t be able to do anything. She fucked up really bad.‘Damn me’, Jasmine cursed in her mind and looked here and there frantically.Rose clenched her jaw and glared at Jasmine
"You came as a light only to push me into darknessI thought it was love but it was only a way to sate your madness""Princess"Zachary called Diana as he entered the room and closed the door, locking it. Taking off his cape, he threw it on the couch and started to unbutton his shirt while his eyes kept scanning the room, looking for his angel. Eventually, his calm expression turned hard when he couldn't spot his wife in the room."Diana?"Zachary again called her but received no response. Anxiety rose in his heart. He immediately ran to the balcony only to revert to the room as there was no sign of Diana, anywhere."PRINCESS!!!"Zachary screamed at the top of his lungs. His wife was nowhere and he knew she wouldn't have left the room as he always locks the door before leaving."Fuck!! Did someone come inside and took my Baby away? No, this can't happen. No one has the power to break the seal."Mumbling, he again started looking for her everywhere. But apart from the room and balcony,
"NO, I CAN'T DO THAT!! HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK SOMETHING SO LOW AND DEGRADING?"Rose yelled and looked at Theodore who was glaring at her with spite."Who do you think you are to question the authority of King? You came here with a plea then why the drama now? You want to save Jasmine and I am granting your wish." He retorted.Rose fumed, "But not at the expense of Diana's happiness. Yes, I am angry at her, and in rage, I said those things to Jasmine but it was only because I wanted her to stop thinking about you and concentrate on her life. I knew your condition will only revolve around Diana but adultery? You want me to seduce her husband? Are you out of your mind? I thought of you as a gentleman. Never knew your mind is only drubbed with crap, full of loaded shit. Disgusting.""SHUT THE HELL UP!!"Theodore roared and instantly removed his sword. Rose shuddered when he placed the lethal weapon on the side of her neck. She gulped feeling that dreadful cold touch on her bare skin.Shoo
“You betrayed me, brother. I told you everything so that you can help me win Rose not to take her away from me.”George shouted while glaring at Theodore with watery eyes who was sitting on his throne, his ring-cladded fingers vigorously tapping against the armrest.A frown settled on his brows when he found no response from him. Theodore was staring ahead; his expressions were inscrutable.His jaw ticked. Storming towards him, he yelled.“WHY DON’T YOU ANSWER ME, HUH?? BECAUSE OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS, ROSE LEFT ME!! SHE AGAIN ESCAPED!! THAT FUCKING JASMINE MADE ME PROMISE THAT I WON’T LOOK FOR HER SISTER EVER AGAIN!! AND I HAD TO PROMISE HER. ALL THANKS TO YOU!!!”FlashbackGeorge and Jasmine were pacing back and forth in the room. Their eyes kept flitting back to the door.Especially Jasmine. She was counting the seconds on her fingers and biting her lips from time to time. Her dreading heart kept predicting the consequences of their secretive meeting.The creaking of the door halted th
Diana’s P.O.V.Staring at the shackles around my wrists, I let out a soft sigh and turned my gaze back to the window. A lone tear escaped my left eye as I rested my head against the headboard and gazed at the splotches of orange hues on the blue canvas. These orangish-yellow colors would soon cover the whole sky giving it a splendid view.Every day the day ends with a beautiful and romantic evening. This fact had been tickling my fancy since I was a child. Soon, it grasped me in his claws and forced me to believe in love, and incited a bone-deep feeling in me to look for our soulmates. And I being an idiot blindly followed that and kept dreaming for my Prince. Nature had been fooling me since childhood. Gives me a temporal joy just like this beautiful evening when the truth is that once this charade ends, I am left in sheer, endless, and unfathomable darkness.Everyone fooled me even my love.Promising me of a better and safe future, making me dream of vague and hopeless things only t
Diana opened her eyes as soon as the mild fragrance of flowers hit her olfactory bulbs. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun that was staring back at her from the horizon. His bright red color was now faded to orange. Tears welled up in her eyes as just like her it seemed to lose all its spark and spirit and appeared dull and weary.Averting her eyes, she then looked around only to find the verdant grass, the exotic flowers which had also started withering, the snow-covered mountain which didn’t look appealing as usual, and the huge, lush valleys that were staring at her in sorrow. The birds weren’t chirping either as if they all were silently grieving for the injustice which had happened to her.Diana sighed and dropped her bleak eyes to the ground unable to look at the gifts of God sharing her grief when she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked down only to find the heart-shaped pendant strung in a gold chain that Zachary had gifted on her birthday resting on h
Calix chased Diana who simply walked ahead lifelessly. He didn’t dare to face her but he felt the need to comfort her. After all, he was equally responsible for the injustice that she had to go through today.“D-Diana” Calix called her from behind but she didn’t stop. He increased his pace when suddenly he felt her figure fading in the air. Shock entered his sapphire hues. Panicking, he tried to catch her but his shoes were abruptly glued to the floor.“What the hell?”Calix growled and again tried but soon his legs were also paralyzed. It was as if someone had tied his legs with an invisible rope.“What is happening? DIANA!! DIANA, DIANA STOP!!” Calix screamed and struggled violently but Diana disappeared in thin air.“NO!! DIANA!!!” Calix shouted and burst into heart-wrenching sobs. He knew what he had done with Diana was unforgivable. He knew everything yet chose to betray her. The girl was innocent yet he kept quiet just as he did in the past. He helped Zachary win her when he kne
Calix had his back leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he looked at Rose who had not for once removed her gaze away from the mahogany door. His eyes then dropped to her left leg which was bouncing non-stop. Calix was well aware that Rose was worried about what was happening behind those closed doors. They both shared the same feeling cause just like her, his anxiety was also mushrooming with every passing second. But the vigorous and harsh tap of her heels was now giving him a headache.“DAMN, Will you please stop this?” Frustrated, Calix bellowed at Rose who jumped in her place.Huffing, he looked away but was startled when Rose suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hands in her soft ones.“Cal, I am scared. What if Orkus demands something absurd from Diana and threatens her to accept his condition? You do know that your King and Queen despise her to the core. What if they try to take advantage of this situation and hurt her?” S
“Try to understand Princess, he had lost a large amount of blood. There’s no way he would be able to make it.” One of the wizards exclaimed as he pressed Zagan’s chest who abruptly started to wheeze.Jasmine was also rubbing his palms which were turning cold with every passing second. The girl who was always conscious of her looks was in a vulnerable state. Her beautiful, thick hair was messed up like a mare’s nest and her hazel eyes had turned red due to excessive crying.Jasmine was losing hope as Zagan was showing no signs of improvement. He was still losing blood and his wounds weren’t healing. The wizards were losing their minds because their best medicines turned unraveled, extinguishing their hopes.Jasmine looked at the head wizard, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!! THEODORE HAD ONLY STABBED HIS BACK NOT HIS HEART.” She shouted, her eyes shooting daggers.The wizard huffed and threw her a pissed look, “But you’re forgetting that it was Theodore’s sword. The appar
“Please Barbas, there must be some way to cure him,” Delphyne pleaded to the man who was staring at Zachary’s unconscious figure hopelessly.After the fierce combat that took place in the Theo Dynasty, Calix wasted no time and took Zachary back to their home, Binnazun Dynasty. It was because apart from Barbas no one had the power nor the skills to cure Zachary.Diana, Jasmine, and Rose also accompanied him. Zagan was taken to a separate room for treatment while the royal family except for Jasmine who was with Zagan was assembled in the King’s room.Barbas gulped the lump that formed in his throat after hearing Delphyne’s pleas. He opened his mouth to speak only to choke on air.There’s nothing he could do now.Barbas along with his cohort was trying his best to treat Zachary but the wound was too deep. Zachary’s life was hanging on a thread as he had lost a good amount of blood. Barbas left no stone unturned but Zachary showed no signs of improvement. Delphyne was losing her mind as s
Theodore's P.O.V.BASTARDASSHOLEMOTHERFUCKER.And, and-Fuck, I even fail at cussing him.Oh, how badly, I wanted to snap his neck like a twig and then feast on his blood. I was ready to turn into a cannibal today and why won't I? He snatched every person who was supposed to be mine. From Diana to Jasmine, he's taking everyone whom I had developed feelings for. But to my dismay, I can't do anything but simply watch him throwing shades at me.It's my fault. It's all my fault. Why the hell did I let Jasmine go? I was blinded by my vengeance that I didn't even realize when she became indispensable to me. At least she was by my side with her own will. But no, my madness for Diana blinded me to even glance at her way. I pushed her away from me and today when I want her, she hates me to even come near me.Sighing, I looked at my wife only to see her shedding tears for her new lover. The scene twisted the knife in my already wounded heart.What's so good about him? Can't she see my efforts
Christian rushed to George and held his shoulders as the injured prince staggered to the ground with his hands on his chest.George was blazing from the inside but his flagging strength stalled his revenge game. Cursing internally, he then looked at Diana whose blue eyes were already fixed on him.Diana on the other hand had mixed feelings. On one side she was happy to save her friend from this psychopath but the irony was that the psychopath was none other than her friend.To save one, she tried to kill the other.Diana slightly flinched after noticing the pained look in his eyes.Who knew that their friendship would fizzle out one day?But her remorse was only exuberating George.'Maybe she would help me out?'He internally prayed for Diana to side with him but her next words vitiated his hopes."I am sorry but you deserved it."George was stunned but Diana didn't even spare a glance his way and headed to Zachary and the others.Rose looked at Jasmine who was drenched in sweat."Wha
"Don't you dare."Zachary snarled, glowering at Theodore who had his sword aimed at Jasmine's neck. Jasmine on the other hand was numb. Her bloodshot eyes were fixated on Zagan who was lying on the floor covered in a pool of blood.Though Theodore stabbed Zagan, the attack wasn't fatal. The slow cadence of his breath was the signal that the injured demon was still alive but brutally injured. He needed aid or else excess blood loss would kill him.Jasmine frantically roamed her eyes here and there, searching for something which could be of her help when she spotted Diana dragging her feet to a corner. A frown etched on her face but her eyes widened when she followed her steps. Avoiding eyes, Diana was heading to the venomous bayonet that was lying next to George's feet.The same weapon with which Kiora tried to attack Rose.A shiver ran down her spine.Diana had no idea that it was venomous because she was unconscious during the nasty fight. But if by any chance, a manhandling or scuff
Zachary's words came as a shock to both Diana and Theodore.Jasmine’s face beamed with happiness. Nodding vigorously, she ran to Zachary like a child only to be pulled back by a terrified Theodore.Clutching her arm, he coiled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest before looking at Zachary."S-Sister? Don't play with me, Zachary. You can leave with your wife and Rose but leave my wife out of this. She isn’t going anywhere." He snapped at him but Jasmine could hear his erratic heartbeat.He looked scared and that too of her leaving him?What an irony!Zachary smirked and moved forward. He grabbed her hand and peeled her away from him.“Wife? Don’t make me laugh, Theodore. Yeah, sure she is your wife whom you had never given the place she deserved. Have some shame man and to clear your doubts, yes, she is my sister. The eldest daughter of the Binanzun Dynasty and the rightful owner of not only Hell but also Heaven. She is neither a swindler nor a fucking peasant."
