The driver dragged in their luggage into the luxurious suite already prepared for them. The driver bowed his head and walked away. Ryan wanted to book another room for Amira but she wouldn't let him. He knows that's what the result would be. Amira will never agree to stay in another room when they are in the same hotel. She's always clingy with him, not knowing the effect it always causes on him.Ryan just doesn't know how he's going to stay in the same room with her. This situation is different from when they are still in their home. In their home, Amira would take her bath and do other private things in her room but here, it is different. He moved their bags to the walk-in closet. He noticed that Amira doesn't look happy. He wonders what suddenly went wrong because some hours ago, she was happy to be in California.“Baby," he calls softly as he moves close to her. “You don't look happy, is there something bothering you?" “Huh?..." Amira blinked her eyes. Wait…. Did she made her a
Ryan's lips nearly met the lips of Amira who stood confused not knowing if her brother was trying to kiss her or not, but was interrupted by the knock on the door. He quickly came back to his senses and withdrew immediately as he batted his lashes.He nervously cleared his throat as he calmed his racing heart before turning his eyes towards the door. “I will get the door," he stammers as he walks towards the door. He couldn't believe that he nearly kissed his sister if not for the knock that suddenly came on the door. What the heck was wrong with him? Wasn't he thinking at all?“Good evening sir," the hotel staff greeted him with a bright smile the moment he opened the door. “Good morning," he mutters. His mind is still on the moment that he nearly kissed his sister. He just can't believe that he lost control. Somehow, he's happy that this hotel staff knocked on his door at the right time, because if she hadn't, he would have kissed Amira, and what explanation would he give her afte
Amira and Ryan left their room for the outdoor dinner Sophia arranged. She asked the hotel staff to make the place beautiful and warm while different kinds of foods and drinks were arranged on the table. The arrangement looks so classical.“Ryan, you are here." Sophia beams the moment she sees Ryan and Amira approach the dinner table. She hugs Ryan and kisses his cheek. Amira's face clouded in anger immediately as she glared at Sophia. Why would she kiss her brother's cheek? Sophia also hugged Amira and kissed her cheek. Amira only faked a smile, whereas she is burning in anger. “I didn't want to eat all by myself. I needed company and I'm glad you two came. I hope inviting you is okay," Sophia said as they settle down for dinner.“You are my friend, Sophia and I don't see anything wrong in having dinner with my friend," Ryan said and poured himself some wine.“You look so beautiful tonight, Amira." Sophia smiled at Amira.Amira returned a faux smile and said, “You don't look bad ei
When Amira was getting comfortable around Justin, she thought maybe she should order for some soft drink. Her throat is becoming dry from too much laughing. Justin is just so fun to be with. Unfortunately, the juice the waiter gave her wasn't meant for her. The juice was intoxicated. The waiter was paid to give the intoxicated drink to someone else but he mistakenly gave it to Amira.When Amira started acting drunk after taking the juice, Justin was surprised, because she took a soft drink and not an alcoholic drink. He thought maybe he was the one that took her action in the wrong way. Sometimes, people tend to act drunk whenever they are happy. “I think I should start going now Justin. I'm feeling dizzy and sleepy," Amira said as she tried to stand up but staggered backwards. She couldn't maintain her balance afterwards and was about to fall but Justin caught her. Justin became more confused. He doesn't think this is just her acting drunk because she's happy, she's definitely acti
The next morning, Amira gently opened her eyes. She stretched her arms. She feels so tired and her head aches a bit. She found it difficult to sit up from the bed. She looked round the room, but couldn't find Ryan. Maybe he's in the bathroom. Her eyes abruptly caught the wall clock. She couldn't believe it's a minute past twelve noon. Does that mean she slept for so long? Why does her head hurt a lot and she's finding it so hard to remember all that happened last night. The only thing she could remember was leaving the dinner Sophia arranged and meeting a guy named Justin who made her laugh with his jokes and then she took a juice. She couldn't remember anything else.She didn't bother to think much. Her head is aching already and she doesn't want to make it worse. She is damn hungry, of course she should be. She has been sleeping for hours.She forced herself out of the bed and slightly rubbed her eyes. She couldn't hear the splashing of water in the bathroom. Is Ryan even there?“R
“Ryan! Ryan!" Amira called as she snapped her fingers in front of Ryan who looked lost. “Ryan, are you okay?"Ryan blinked his lashes and gulped down nervously. He batted his lashes once more as he got back to reality. “Ryan, are you okay? You look lost, what are you thinking about?" Amira asked once more.“Uhmm… I…" he couldn't form a word. So it wasn't real, it was just a trance. He can't believe that he's now daydreaming of kissing Amira. “I'm fine. I was just thinking of a minor issue. It's nothing to worry about."“Are you sure? You look lost, it doesn't look as if you were just thinking of a minor issue."“Baby, it's nothing. There's nothing to worry about. Just go back to eating." Ryan gives a satisfying smile to convince her. She slightly smiled back and continued eating, but she somehow felt that something was wrong. After they finished eating. Ryan went out to meet Justin. Justin told him that he has find out the man that put something inside Amira's drink, but unfortuna
When Ryan returned home. He first of all took a warm bath. He believes that what he did was the right thing, he took the right decision. The only way he can stop loving Amira is to fall in love with someone else. And Nancy is the right person to fall in love with. She's beautiful, intelligent and she's a good girl. That night, Amira came to his room. She said that she doesn't want to sleep alone. That has become her tradition though and Ryan has gotten used to it. He know that it will be difficult to stop loving Amira but he's going to give it a try. The next day, Ryan made his relationship with Nancy official. They first of all met with Nancy's parents and they didn't have problem with it. They saw how happy their daughter is and don't want to take that happiness away from her.Nancy had dinner with Ryan's family and during the dinner, Ryan announced their relationship. His parents were okay with it, they both like Nancy. Amira was shocked. She nearly choke on her food, but she pre
Amira's mind was in daze, she didn't know what she was doing. She doesn't know what she feel, she doesn't understand herself at all. But for this past few days, she got to understand something. Whatever she is feeling for Ryan is so intense and she could only call it one thing… love. Yes, she's in love with her brother… this is total madness. What was she thinking? How can she fall in love with her brother? Is she okay at all?It was so frustrating. How did she fall into a forbidden love? A love that can never be accepted and can only bring her pains. She thought drinking alcohol will make her forget her worries, that's what she always hear. Today is the first day she has ever taken alcohol and she realized that what she heard was a lie. Seeing Ryan, she wasn't able to control herself, all she wanted is him. Without thinking twice, she kissed himThe moment Amira kissed Ryan, he widened his eyes in shock. He shook and felt his body electrocuted. The last time she kissed, he was able t
~CASSANDRA POINT OF VIEW~ They decided to team up with us. By tomorrow we will start training them, I mean Daniel because I know nothing about fight "I know that we are not enough to bring Lucas down but if we all have the spirit, we will be able to take him down just as the little we are." I addressed them. "He has killed a lot of people and that's why we agreed on taking this risk and also, he killed every member of the royal family." one of the men said and I quickly glanced at him.What does he mean, is he trying to say that Andrew is dead."What do you mean by the royal family?" I ask "Yes, he killed all the royal family and also the Prime minister and his wife." he replied and I was frozen at that moment.I couldn't hold back the tears, though they are not my real parents but still .... Their death hurts a lot.And Andrew, it hurts so much because he died when trying to help me. I felt a soft finger on my cheeks which slowly wiped my tears away.I stared u
~CASSANDRA POINT OF VIEW~I was still wandering in the forest, I wonder what has happened to Andrew, I hope he is fine. I don't know how I am going to find Daniel, it is not going to be easy.

Right now I am not thinking of going back to my own world, I will only go back after I am done making Lucas pay for his wickedness.I got tired and decided to rest and I am also hungry.

They look like thugs, I was caught with fear immediately. I wonder what they are going to do to me in this lonely place.I quickly sprang up. I took some steps back while they took some steps towards

~CASSANDRA POINT OF VIEW~I was in my chambers in tears. I was forced to marry Lucas the new king and I'm now the Queen.The prime minister that called himself my father was never a good man.

I'm tired of staying here, I really need to go back to my world but first of all I will need to find Daniel and make him take his responsibility. He can't run away from his destiny because he is destined to be the King and rule his people with love and care. I stare at my image in the mirror, I was clad in the Queen's attire.Lucas killed all the governors but spared the prime minister because he is my father. That guy is so wicked, I won't be his wife for long. I will find out all his weaknesses and once I'm able to find Daniel we are going to use it against him.A maid walked in. "The King wants to see you in his Chambers," she said politely with a bow.I fake a smile. He is such a fool for marrying a lady th

Dowager speak up."But why should the King try to make Daniel the son of a mistress our next King. We have never thought of that." one of the governors said."Your majesty, we hope that we won't regret supporting you. I'm afraid the crown prince might lose the throne," another governor said, referring to Dowgar. "You don't have to worry governor Sylvester, you all won't regret supporting me, the crown prince must be the King.

~ CASSANDRA~I woke up one morning just to face what I call blackmail. I've bluntly refused to marry the crown prince but my dad just came up with an idea to make me give in. He set a rope trying to hang himself and said that he will come down only if I agree to marry the prince. I was sleeping peacefully in my room when my personal maid Zara rushed into painting, it took her a while before she told me what was happening. "Come quickly my Lady, you need to stop your father right now!" she rushed out her words. I couldn't waste time, she dragged me to the place. My new mum was there crying and the servants were also crying. "Eda my dear please accept your father's request already, you wouldn't want to see your father dead ..... Will you?

Daniel ball his fist in anger.Though he doesn't know who the girl is, he still hates what Lucas is doing. It pains him when a girl is sexually harassed. Girls are weak to fight for themselves and men take such an opportunity to harass them."You are testing my patience Lucas. Let go of that girl now!" Daniel grouses in all seriousness. Lucas scoffed and chuckled sarcastically.Cassandra is a bit relieved that someone came to her rescue, who knows what Lucas is planning to do to her."And if I said no, What would you do, Daniel.
