Kyle was shocked to hear Andrew say that. He was still in shock and didn't know when Andrew freed his hand and started walking away. The moment he saw Andrew leaving, he stood up and rushed towards him and hugged him from behind.“I'm sorry Andrew. I promise to change. I promise to be faithful towards you. This is not an empty promise because I mean it. I love you Andrew, please don't leave me." Kyle cried as he hugged Andrew tight and not ready to let go. No one has ever loved him the way Andrew does. He can't afford to lose Andrew because of his stupidity. One thing he did not tell Andrew was that he was abused as a child. His uncle used to assault him and that practically turned him into a slut and he found himself not being satisfied with one man. He knows that deep within his heart he loves Andrew. He's trying his best to be faithful to Andrew and he must try harder because he doesn't want to lose Andrew. Andrew couldn't hold back his tears. He loves Kyle so much and just wants
In less than an hour, Ryan and Amira are already at the company's building. Many of the workers haven't seen the step sister of their boss. If they knew she's this beautiful, they wouldn't have waited until now to see such beauty. The male workers wouldn't stop staring at her and of course that got Ryan mad. He even shouted at one of the male staff who made his attraction towards Amira so obvious. Ryan somehow started regretting bringing Amira with him to the company. He felt like blinding the eyes of the people staring lustfully at her. Amira was oblivious of what was going on. Probably, she kept her face straight as they walked and didn't notice the commotion her beauty was causing. She was even surprised when Ryan shouted at a male staff member who came to give a report to him. Ryan harshly sent the staff away and threatened to fire him.Even when Ryan's client, who needed to sign a great deal with him, came to his office, his eyes were on Amira. He kept on complimenting her beaut
“Please take care of your sister, you know she's still young. Well, I believe there's no reason to tell you this because I know how much you love her. I'm glad son, that you accepted Hillary and her daughter and treated them as family," Ryan's father said. Ryan and Amira are ready to leave for the airport. Amira seems excited. This is her first time going to California and she's happy that she will go there with her brother.“Of course, I will take care of her," Ryan replied. Even without his father saying it, he knows that he will take care of his sister. With what his father said, Ryan believed that it is high time he fully understood that Amira can be nothing other than a sister to him. His father has accepted her as his daughter and his father believes that he has accepted Amira as his sister. He truly accepted Amira as his sister but he wants their relationship to be more than that. He knows that it will never be possible for Amira to be more than a sister to him, so he will hav
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
~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. Lucas will surely pay for everything he has done, I will make sure of that. 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. I was sleeping when I felt a soft hand running through my lapsI quickly jerk up just to see three guys staring lustfully at me."Hello beautiful." one of them said and licked his lip seductively."Why don't we have some fun." the second one add "You will like it." the third one chip in. 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 can't believe he also had a hand in the death of the King. 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

Many people from different regions in Joseon were invited and the palace was filled with people.Cassandra doesn't understand a thing, she only heard of the rebellion and she wondered what happened to Daniel. She can't believe that her father was part of it, that shows the prime minister is not a good man. He was blinded by his greed for power and more wealth and that's why he wanted her to marry the crown prince.She doesn't know how she can stop the wedding and she tries running away but it wasn't in her favor. Things are getting too much in this past world and she really needs to find a way to go back to her own world. She can't trust anyone here, they are all selfish.She remembered the history their teacher taught them about Joseon in 1427 and everything that is happening now is exactly what their teacher said. That story didn't end well but she will make things right, sh
~AUTHOUR'S POV~Queen Dowager and the governors including the prime minister sat for a secret meeting. "We need to act fast before things will run out of our favor." 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. Once he becomes the King I will reward you all handsomely," Dowager cuts in."But how are we gonna make the crown Prince the King? It won't be easy now that the King has given Daniel the mighty sword because mighty swords are given to the next Kings." another governor said.Dowgar smiles evilly as they all forward their attention to her. "It is not something to worry about because I have
~AUTHOR'S POV~Cassandra was still struggling in the water, she has drank a lot of water and was gasping for breath. When she lost the strength of fighting in the water she gave up. She was slowly falling deep inside the water as her eyes became blurry but at a point she saw an image coming towards her.Her eyes were too weak to recognize the person, she did not put effort, she just closed her eyes cos she has already lost the hope of surviving. Daniel swam as fast as he could, he came rushing to the place just at the right time.He saw Cassandra deep down in the water as she was falling deep, he streamline his body and faster swim up to her.He got hold of her and swam up with her.He came to the shore as he gently pulled out from the water with Cassandra who had already fainted. He carefully dropped her on the ground, he applied pressure on her so she could vomit all the water she drank while being drowned but she couldn't.Her
~ 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? " she cried out.I closed my eyes and opened them in frustration, this man is very intelligent. He chooses this strategy because he knows he's gonna win. What do I do now? I don't want to marry the cro
~AUTHOR'S POV~"I said let go of her, Lucas." Daniel g groan colder. Lucas' eyes have already turned red in anger. He hates Daniel and cannot take it if he tries to command him, his anger makes him grip on Cassandra even tighter. She winced out in pain."Leave me, you are hurting me." Cassandra cried. 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. You are nothing but a mistress's son." Lucas blurts out sarcastically.Daniel's eyes dim in anger as his chest was rising wi
