Prologue - EMPTINESS
Last Updated:
2021-06-16 18:51:28Have you ever felt empty in your life? Ever felt no one understands you? That no one seems to care how you feel? Have you ever felt that your heart feels empty and your head is a mess? Have you ever experience the feeling of total sadness and you're unable to enjoy things?
My name is Alora. I belong to what they call the elites. I was born rich. I was the youngest daughter to one of the richest family in the country. I have 2 brothers and a sister. They were all successful people and owned various businesess worldwide.
My oldest brother is the CEO of the largest gaming company in Japan as well as the owner and President of the no.1 car company in Europe. My second brother owns the biggest pharmaceutical company in the US that manufactures and distributes medical supplies all over the world. He also owned Smith's Meds, a drugstore chain in the country.
My sister owns the largest shopping mall in the country located at Northbay City Mall and one of the biggest shareholder of 10 most popular perfume brands in the world. My parents? Well, our family's main business is jewelry. We own the no.1 jewelry company in Japan named Hoseki. The company also has its offices and stores in the US and Europe. Our parents recently launched Hoseki Corporation, the largest Jewelry manufacturing company in UAE.
And there was me. The deliquent child. The black sheep of the family. I was born with everything that anyone can dream of. But I was never happy. I was considered the problem child. I am studying at Golden Oak School for the Elite. The school for the rich and famous where money is the basis of someone's personality.
The students are divided into four classes, the Platinum Class - they are the richest heirs and heiress and the royalties in the world. The Golden Class are those living in the limelight, the celebrities and models. The Silver Class where student's parents are professional workers of those above them. And then there's the Bronze Class who were accepted by scholarships and sponsorships of the elites.
My brothers and sister graduated from this school with honors. And so everyone's expecting the same from me. I am what they call a math genius. I am smart and always a top student in primary school. I was accelerated twice so I am now 2 years younger from my classmates. I was a happy kid with full spirit and I always think of the positive side in everything. But eveything changed.
When I started high school, I was given the name Ice Princess because everyone said that I emit a cold aura. I was also popular in rejecting boys that confessed to me. They said I'm heartless and didn't care about others feelings. And that I am not capable to love someone so I also do not deserve to be loved.
I don't really care what they call me or what they think of me. For me, they are just temporary people whom I meet in this life and we'll all eventually go on our separate ways. Friends? I don't have friends. I don't need them. I still hang out with some girls but for me, they're just schoolmates.
I don't know when it started. When did I change. I remember being cheerful when I was younger but an accident made me forget some of my memories so I guess I also forgot how to smile.
Sometimes, I wonder if I am not really capable of love. I know I love my parents and my siblings. I just can't show them my affection like how they show me.
My brothers are very protective of my sister and me. They were also very generous towards me. They buy me everything I want. Sometimes, even if I don't want or need it, they will still give me expensive things. My eldest brother is 33 years old and already married for 6 years but he never failed to buy me gifts. He also got a pair of adorable twins, Mia and Mio. He married at the age of 27. My second brother is 31 and was married for 3 years. His wife is now 6 months pregnant. My sister is married for a year now and still enjoying her time with her husband. I think they don't have any plans yet of having a kid.
Me? I don't have any plans on getting married. I am not interested to any boys in school. I can't imagine myself happily married to a guy. I don't even know what I like with a guy.
This emptiness I feel inside, I don't think anyone, even me, can make it go away. Am I really that numb? Sometimes, I ask myself is there someone out there who can save me?
Darkness. I feel like it is always following me and will devour me anytime. The feeling of emptiness, fear, doubt and despair will I be able to overcome this?

Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 1- YOU BELONG TO ME
"Miss Alora, wake up. You're going to be late." It's Krista, one of the maids in the house trying to wake me up while holding the food tray. She's standing in my bedside wearing her usual blue maid's uniform with white apron. Her hair is tied up with blue ribbon. She's just 25 and was working with us since she turned 18. She is my personal maid but I considered her a friend. I opened my eyes and started moving. I stretched my arms and yawned. "What time is it?" I asked while still sitting on my bed. Krista put the food tray in the breakfast table beside my room's window first before answering. "It's 7 in the morning miss. It's your first day in senior high school and the assembly time starts at 8:30. I have prepared your bath and your uniform. Your things has been prepared as well." I nodded and started walking towards the table. Krista prepared a blue ternate tea, bacon & egg and 2 loaves of bread for breakfast. I sit and picked up the tea while looking

"Wait! What? Are you crazy?" I snatched my hand away from him and crossed my arms. I don't know how I managed to composed myself. With my head up high, I asked him. "Oh I thought you knew since you insisted that I tell you now. Anyway, you heard me right, after college, we'll get married so from today onwards, you are my fiancé." Luke said it without any hesitation. It seems to me that this is just a joke to him. "Is it amusing to you to make fun of other people? I don't know what you're talking about and even if its true, I don't want to be your fiancé. I hate you and all those people behind this!" I yelled at him so everyone who's watching us can hear it. I turned around and walked away. I don't want to hear any word from Luke. I run inside the school and went straight to the rooftop. I'm annoyed. No, I'm mad at him. It doesn't seem that he's joking and I'm mad at my parents for not consulting me first. I want to scream but my voice won't come out. I can't br

It's the first day of senior high school so I woke up and prepared early. I was chosen to be the speaker for the opening assembly. I enjoyed being around with people. When I was little, my father will always bring me to parties, events and meetings. I am an only child and the only heir to the Wilson Empire. Our family is the richest clan in the country and the second richest in the US and Europe. I am Luke Wilson. I am 17 years old and currently studying at Golden Oak School for the Elite as a senior high school. At my age, I already achieved so many things. I was a genius in computer and technology at the age of 10 and was awarded as the youngest computer science genius. I have created a computer anti-virus called Angel at the age of 12. The success of Angel gave me an opportunity to build my own company, A.E Technology.

What am I thinking? I suddenly agreed to Alora's father to marry her. Yes, we're close but that was a long time ago. Right now, I barely know her. I don't even know if she actually remember that we used to play at some villa. She doesn't even look at me now. I'm deep in thought when my driver, Ken, speaks. "We're here sir." I didn't notice that we're already in school. I grabbed my things and felt my heart pounding when I walked out of the car. Am I nervous? Why will I feel nervous about this? Almost all the girls in school wanted to be my girlfriend but we're talking about Alora. She's called the Ice Princess because she's known for rejecting boys who's trying to confess to her. Am I different to the others? Someone tapped my shoulder and when I looked back, it was Percy. "Hey man, I called you 3 times but you just passed by in front of us. What are you thinking? Is it a girl?" Percy laughed and I saw his girlfriend runs towards him. Percy is my best friend and her

"I think you found your match, Luke. That girl doesn't even look at you. I mean she doesn't look at you like all the girls here." It was Percy with his annoying sarcastic voice. "Who does she think she is? I proposed to her in front of everyone and that's her reaction. She rejected me? Luke Wilson?" I exclaimed. I know my pride as a man was crashed by Alora. She really deserves her title. Sophie pat me on the shoulder. Her voice sounded annoyed as well. "Luke, do you really think that she will just agree to marry you? Is that what you call a proposal? Can you remember what you said? You told her that your parents arranged your marriage and she belongs to you now. Do you think she will be glad hearing that? She's not a possession Luke. You know Alora will not be happy if you will treat her like a thing. I wouldn't want that either. Maybe if you asked some girl in campus they will be glad to be your fiance but you know Alora is different." "Luke, remember

I was already shocked by his first statement when Luke suddenly gets on his knees and held my hand. "Alora Elizabeth Smith, will you marry me?" I didn't expect that he will propose to me. We're not even that close. I know now that our parents had an agreement, but I'm still confused why he agreed. He's young and there are a lot of girls who wanted to be with him. I need to confront my parents about this. I want to know why he didn't oppose their decision. "Alora, I know this is sudden but believe me, this is my personal decision. You know that no one can make a decision for me even my father. If you ask me why, I cannot give you an answer because I don't know it myself. I just really want to be close to you. Earlier, when I kissed you, I know you felt it too. You know I can help you. I promise I won't tell anyone about this. You may think that I am using what you're going through but I really want to help you. So please, will you agree to be my fiance from now on?" L

Luke is making his speech in front when I noticed someone is staring at me. There are 4 rows in the center of the auditorium with 20 seats each. Our seat is in the front of the second row, and I am in the last seat across the third row. I looked on my left and saw a few girls looking back at me. One of the girls is Cassandra, she is close to Luke, and I saw them hang out a few times. She is very vocal in expressing her affection to Luke. I remember she confessed to him and promised that she will wait for Luke to love her back. The students in campus thought that Luke will eventually end up with her, but it obviously didn't happen. No one expected that the rumored Ice Princess is now engaged to the most popular and richest guy in school. Well, I didn't expect it either. And I'm not sure if we will get married after college, I mean we have 5 years more before it happens. We don't know what the future holds. What if after a few months, we both realized that this is real

"Alora, I didn't mean to do that." I frowned."What do you mean? Do you regret it?"Of course not. What are you talking about? I want you so badly, but I want you to feel something. I want you to enjoy it. I don't regret what I did but I'm sorry for not thinking about your feelings first. I won't force you to dress differently but I really can't ignore those guys when they look at you. I hope you understand that at least." He sounds frustrated and desperate. "I won't stop you from touching me. And... Your kisses, I don't hate it. Somehow, I like the way you touch me and when you're near me, I feel safe. I don't know why but I feel like I already know you. I think I can trust you." What I said is true. I don't understand what's this feeling, but his scent is familiar. Luke pulled me into an embrace. "Let's take this slow, okay? And thank you for trusting me. Tonight, is our engagement. I would l

THIRD POV"Are you sure about that?" Luke asked.She curved her lips and frowned, trying to remember the man she had seen that day. It was a vivid image because she was knocked out, but there was something on the man's face that she clearly remembered.She nodded to confirm her statement. "He's Peggy's father. Do you remember when we met the man to ask about Peggy's whereabouts? I felt something weird toward him. I noticed there was a deep scar on his left eyelid. The man in the woods had the same scar like Benjamin's. And he also asked something weird that day.""What did he ask you?" Sophie asked."He asked me if I remember him. I was confused and told him it was my first time meeting him. I ignored what happened because I thought he just mistook me for someone, but thinking back, maybe he meant the day he injected me with the serum." Luke walked to the other side of the table and sat on the swivel chair. And was in deep thought.Benjamin Miller, CEO of Miller International Securit

After the party, I put the twins to sleep and kissed them good night. Luke, Percy and Sophie waited for me in the study."That serum, do you remember what happened after they inject it into you?" Luke asked.I tried to remember, but nothing came to my mind so I shook my head."I think I passed out after that then—" I paused then frowned.Luke held my hand. "Don't push yourself, baby. Just try to remember what you can."I nodded. "When you help me escape, I think I met a man who injected me with that serum. After that, I just remembered running and that's when I was caught by our kidnappers.""And you killed them?" Sophie followed.I nodded again. "I just remember feeling scared at one point, then that fear suddenly changed into a rage when they told me about killing the three of you.""When you wake up, did you remember anything? Anything at all?" Luke asked again.I disagreed by shaking my head.Percy was on his iPad, searching for something. Then he exclaimed. "Found it!"We settle o

Half a year passed but we never heard anything about Peggy. My husband supported Jayden in his search for her, but the clues we got would eventually vanish along with the traces of Peggy.When almost everyone was busy dealing with the missing Flousian princess, I was busy with myself. I felt like the voices in my head were arguing. I knew already that I'm crazy, that my mind was messed up, and only the little one inside me was keeping my sanity.I didn't tell Luke about what I had found out about myself. I knew he would understand because my husband was a selfless man, especially if it concerned me. He loved me more than his life and that scared me the most. I knew he would still forgive me if I told him the truth."Why don't you tell your husband about yourself? It's a betrayal of trust if you lied to him." Camila said while I'm sitting in front of the mirror."I'm not lying. He didn't ask me about anything so how could I lie to him. I haven't denied anything to him." I insisted.Cam

I stood up when I felt Luke was sleeping quietly. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.“So it was you all along. Are your memories starting to come back? Or are you still wandering in the dark?” It was Camilla who was staring directly at me.“Some of it. Maybe most of them.” I smirked.“I love seeing your face like that. So what are your plans now? Can you really control yourself? Did you remember what really happened in Creepy Willow Forest?” Camila asked.I nodded, giving her a mischievous grin.“It was me. Not you. I killed those people.” I answered.Camila let out an evil laugh. Hearing her laughter was musi

"Elizabeth?" I mumbled with trembling lips. She crouched down and stared into my eyes. Her eyes were like mine, silver yet it was sparkling like crystals. I was shocked when she suddenly grabbed my face with her hand. I'm not sure if it hurts "I hate those eyes of yours. They were like from some dead girl. You were so lucky to have everything yet you are not happy. Your parents, your siblings, friends, your boyfriend and now you are having a baby." She said in a cold tone while looking down my belly. I suddenly feared her. Somehow, she was different. She wasn't the Elizabeth I knew. She was colder than Camila, her aura was darker and eerie. "Elizabeth, you're scaring me. What happened to you?" I asked, trying not t

It was exhausting. Just thinking of everything that happened makes my head throb.I really wish I figured it out sooner. If only I knew that she was asking for help then maybe all of this would not be happening to us."So is your heart getting soft now?I was sitting in front of the mirror brushing my hair when Camila spoke.I took a deep breath and looked at the girl in the mirror with her red eyes coldly staring at me.I didn't answer. I know what her point was. I've been dealing with DID because of what happened to me when I was a kid and was mad at the people who made me like this. But now that I found out my Aunt's reasons, I suddenly had a change of heart."Then are you suggesting to keep my heart tainted with bloo

After our meeting, we went home quietly. Luke hadn't said anything and was just sitting in silence. He hasn't asked me about the meaning of my last interaction with Camila.I was thinking about her the whole time. I didn't realize that she's been sending me a message ever since.When we arrived at Queen's, we went straight to Luke's office where everyone was waiting. Inside, we were surprised to see our parents.Mom rushed into me and embraced me tight, followed by the girls. Father patted me on the head then walked towards Luke. I saw his parents smiling, indicating they are very proud of him."You did great honey." Mom whispered.We sat on the couch to talk about what happened earlier. Luke seated on his swivel chair, cross
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 98 - HER WEAKNESS
The first time I met Camila was in the forest. I was terrified at that time and fear was always with me whenever we talked about her ever since. The second time was at the party. I still felt the same towards her, terrified with her coldness and evilness. However, now that we are meeting for the third time, I couldn't feel any fear towards her. I realized she was using it against me. If I lived in fear she would just keep on threatening us. She always tells me that she likes my eyes. I noticed that every time she felt excited and thrilled was the time that I was showing my weakness and fear towards her. I wouldn't allow that anymore. Especially with the baby in my belly. I was staring at her directly to her eyes from the moment she entered the room. I wanted to rush into her and strangle her like what I did to the young Santelmo. But I felt Luke's grip tighte
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 97 - MEETING WITH THE ENEMY PART 2
I was just listening to him and was surprised about the history of their family with the Wilson's. One of the guards walked towards Luke and gave some files before Paulo was able to continue. "Alfonso Santelmo, your great great grandfather. The most influential man back in the 1970's. He was friends with Matthew Wilson, my father's grandfather. Alfonso was imprisoned because of the rape and murder of Agatha Wilson, Matthew Wilson's sister. Alfonso died in 1980. He was beaten and stabbed to death." It was Luke who continued. Paulo didn't say a word but I could see that he was surprised. He didn't expect that Luke knew something about it. The case file of Alfonso Santelmo was erased from the police's database and no one knows how. I'm not really sure how Luke found out about it.
