“Hello?” She said, yawning and stretching her other arm after answering the phone that was on the side table. She's still half awake.
“Ahmm… Who’s this please?” She glanced at the caller again when she heard a woman’s voice. It was obviously a young innocent woman base from her soothing voice.
She cleared her throat. “I am Anna Crimson.” She then realized that it was not her phone but Dye.
“May I speak to Mr. Fletcher ma’am?” She was startled by her politeness and so she answered with respect.
“I think he’s busy with his personal things. Can you---------”
“Who’s it?”
She was stopped by his voice and she lifted her head to look at him. His hair was wet and there wer
‘To my lovely Aphrodite, I love you. Always. Forever.’She was thinking nonstop about the picture and the words that she saw in Dye's wallet. She didn’t want to think about it but she couldn’t help it.He’s a cold man and it’s always hard for him to approach, yet having a picture of a young woman in his wallet means that she’s someone really special in his heart.“Let’s go?” She said. She was just wearing the same and she didn’t tie her long black hair. Even if she was a little bit disappointed, she still need to make herself happy. And because of this, she’ll spend his money without limitations.“It’s fine if no one will join me.”“I'll go with you young madam. Although there’s a lot of things that needs to be handled, we must not neglect you at all cost.” Lafarga stated.She was surprised. She was expecting Nico to
It was already two hours had passed but Anna was still frustrated of the things she would buy. She was literally sure that she wanted to revenge him but there was guilt whenever she watches the price tag.Whether it’s a clothe or a thing, it would not be less than five digits.So this is the feeling of being in a celebrity place? A store that sells expensive things but some wasn’t even that of a good quality? Sure that popular people would brag about the brand but didn’t even consider the usage.She glanced at Lafarga who was scanning the whole place then stared the tag again. She was now holding a couple necklace.She wasn’t that sure why she imagined Dye and her wearing it. The thing is, they weren’t even in a relationship, nor were they in a mutual stage. Diamond was starting to act strangely but that doesn’t mean that she’ll assume things.Well, she did. Slightly.“I
When she woke up the next day, Dye was nowhere to be found in the room. It was just six in the morning and it was already late if they're in the military place. She unconsciously sniffed the pillow beside her and the faint smell of him still lingers. She wasn’t sure if when did she fell asleep last night, but she was literally aware that she was slightly comfortable even when Dye was beside her. It took her an hour to freshen herself after taking a cold shower then she went out to walk around in the subdivision. She only saw the maids so she told them that she’ll breath some fresh air. “Luxurious indeed.” She mumbled as she look around. She was only wearing a simple sleeveless black shirt and white shorts paired with a simple white slippers. She was a little bit familiar of the place. The designs, the breathtaking views, as well as the solid and catchy structure of the houses. She was sure that she saw this in the magazine for many times.
“Why did you leave the house?” His eyes cold and his eyebrows narrowed. It was already ten minutes since they went inside his library but it was his first words.She gulped, “I-I was just looking around but then I realized that I am not really that familiar with the place so I lost my way home.”“So you decided to stood there and do nothing?!” She was stunned when his voice raised. “What if we didn’t saw you there? Are you planning to die outside?”“I was about to call for help but-------”“Help?!” She was cut off by his mad voice. It was the first time for her to witness him so angry at her.“In this world no one will help you but yourself. Reality is not what you really expect. Asking for help is not the solution Anna, it’s about being conscious of how dangerous the world is even if you’re in the safest place!” He shouted
“We'll visit again next time.” Nash spoke.She found out that the man with a blue varsity jacket is a popular model and celebrity not just here but also in abroad. He’s a twenty-six male with a light personality.Dye smirked before drinking the wine on his glass. “I insist. You’re all not welcome here next time.” He said as if it was an order.“Fuck you man!” They laughed because they know that Diamond was serious about it. It’s their very first time to be prohibited by him.Before, it was so easy to access his house that they would even sleep here anytime they want. Diamond wouldn’t mind at all. However, now is a different case.They talked a little more before they bid their goodbyes. It was such a nice talk and she couldn’t help but wonder why Diamond’s friends are all good-looking?‘Maybe it’s his policy? Lol!’“What a
She woke up finding herself in a white room. There were things that was beeping and some high advance technologies that she didn’t thought would exist.Wait! Huh?!“Thank goodness you’re awake young madam.” She explored her sight and saw an old woman who’s wearing a maid's uniform. The woman was a little bit familiar.She slowly sat down on bed. “Where am ‘I?” She asked softly.“You’re in the young master's private mansion young madam.”“Private mansion?” She repeated. “What’s your name?” The old woman was slightly shocked but soon recovered.“I'm Helen young madam. The right hand of your husband in this mansion.” Helen answered. She was surprised because of Anna's gentleness and innocence.Anna felt dizzy all of a sudden. Husband? Funny!Why would everyone address her as their young madam? While Dye is the young ma
“This is a private room inside my brother’s hidden bastille. I’m sure that you heard this too.” Akira stated to slightly answer her confusion.Anna didn’t talk so she continued while waiting for the person whom she just texted a minute ago.“My brother mentioned to me that he already brought you here before but only at the ground floor.” She sighed and crossed her arms in front of her chest.“This is a hidden place or an underworld castle that’s located in a forest called Lindilac. Solely, this belongs to my brother and you might figure out that he’s way too far from being kind hearted.”“…”“Yes. This is more like a prison. People from ten different cities would give him a sacrifice. Whether it’s a random person or those who have royal bloods. Sucking their blood is the only solution for his curse.”Anna gasped. She had expected this but i
It was already an hour after he showed up, yet the room remained silent.Dye spoke to Helen and his sister Akira for a moment before they went out. Now, it was so awkward for the both of them who are the only people inside a silent, clean, and closed room like this.“So, when should we get married?”She spat the water that she was drinking when the man at her right side spoke. She was sitting on bed with her back leaning on the headboard while Diamond was sitting on a single chair right next to her bed.She didn’t even saw when and how did he got his chair.She cleared her throat. “I-I think you’re mistaken general. I would never ------"“Why won’t you marry me but you would want to have a family with a lowly human instead?” He formally asked as if their talking about business.She sighed as the glass of water disappeared from her grip. “Marriage is not about nego
“Good day ma’am. Good day sir.” The person whose wearing a white uniform said as she bowed her head for them.“Good day!” She greeted back and went to an unoccupied table with exactly six chairs.She didn’t care about how the crowd looked at them as they all went in, they were obviously just gossiping again. She put her sling bag on the table and waited for the waiter to get near them.“Good day! Welcome to our restaurant. Please choose the dishes and delicacies based to your likings.” An estimation of 5’3 guy said, wearing a black shirt with a white apron-like around his waist.It took five minutes for them to choose. Aside from the fact that it was Anna's first time here, the men who told her to tour her around were actually the one making it difficult. They’re all telling her that they’re full and that it’s inappropriate for them to share a meal with her.S
After that night, she began to understand his situation more, yet she became more like a stranger to him. He didn’t have time for her and always went to the city of Mandue.Diamond would often say that Freon and him needs to talk, but she was not as dumb as he thought she would be. It was pretty obvious that he would go there because his past lover, Aphrodite was there.The servants would look at her with pity but she would just ignore it like what she always do. Although Diamond was still sweet to her whenever he had the time, but it didn’t change the fact that their time together was getting lesser and lesser. If only their children were there.“It’s fine, really.” She said as she looked at the four men in front of her with their black suits.Nico smiled as he scratched the back of his neck. “But the young master told us to guard you young madam. It’s your first time to look around outside the palace, so it&rsqu
Mr. Richard drove for an hour before they reach the castle. She needs time to calm herself after witnessing such unexpected happenings.When she went outside the car, she forced a smile as she looked at the old man. “Thank you Mr. Richard and sorry for the trouble. Though Diamond is still at the city of Mandue.” She said.Mr. Richard smiled as he looked at the woman outside the car. “No worries young madam. If ever the young master will ask about you, I will tell him that you went home because you’re not feeling well.”Anna nodded, that was what she said. “Very well. Thank you and please take care.”“You're always welcome madam.” He said before the car window closed and the engine started.She waited at the gate for the car to disappear from her sight before she went in. She saw some guards who were greeting her which she replied using a forced smile to hide the sadness t
“Did you see what happened earlier? It was quite mind blowing! Hahaha…”“Totally. The way Aphrodite ran towards king Diamond as if his wife wasn’t around. Even though the woman named Anna was gorgeous, I still feel bad for her knowing that king Diamond’s first love returned. He’s probably going to choose his past over his present.”“Yeah! Everyone knows how crazy king Diamond was to that woman. I never thought that she’s the long lost princess of the eleventh city though.”“Yeah right.”Anna was silently listening inside a cubicle. She heard their footsteps fading away before taking a deep breath. What happened earlier made a huge headline to the crowd.After that very moment, she told Diamond that she needs to go to the restroom and then left right away. Escaping from the awkward situation. She also felt disappointed when he didn’t even stop her or talk to her. Hi
An elegant music and crowd welcomed them inside. It was a majestic type of celebration, not like the other occasion that they had been before.“Let’s all welcome the arrival of the king of Cabrine! The sin of pride from the seven deadly sins, the lion's dean. King Diamond Fletcher!” The crowd looked at them when a man's voice echoed.From the look on their faces, they were all surprised and obviously fell into a trance after seeing such perfect figure with a gorgeous woman on his side. Majority of them were speechless.“Whose that woman?”“She's gorgeous bro.”“Diamond is totally breathtaking, but is that woman his rumored wife? How about Deity? I heard that king Freon found her.”She heard whispers everywhere before the crowd began to clap loudly. They walked on a green carpet towards a throne where the king of magicians, king Freon was sitting with his green cape on his shoulders.
“Mommy? Will you please give me another sibling so I can play with them?” Eugene pleaded using his adorable voice. His brothers also waited for her answer while Diamond was obviously holding his laughter’s.She took a deep breath before calming herself. “Let’s not talk about that baby, let’s talk about your new toy. Did you like uncle Lilac's gift for you?”Eugene jumped out of his father’s grip and went to his new toy car. “Mommy, daddy! I love this toy.” He almost shouted.She was relieved when she was able to divert her son's attention. However, she noticed that it was the opposite for Dye.He felt pissed knowing that his damn brother gave his son a gift yet he also flirted with his wife. Surely his brother was still playful like always. He didn’t change at all.As usual, they stayed at the castle until dinner. Anna was still the one who cooked dinner for them which th
When she woke up the next day, she was glad that Diamond was still on her side, cuddling her like usual. She gave him a kiss on his lips before she went up.Well, she was surprised that Dye was still on bed, maybe he felt exhausted after their hot and pleasurable session together. They even did it trice after talking.She did her morning routines and wore a nude off-shoulder dress below the knee, paired with her soft brown slippers. She just like to wear dresses and of course, no one could tell her what to wear. Not even her cold-possessive husband.“Mommy! Look at this, uncle Lilac took us a picture.” Eugene, the most silly one ran towards her and met her below the stairs.She lifted him up and kissed him on his cheeks. “Good morning baby.” She greeted before looking at the picture that he was showing her while walking towards the living room.It was her three little sons picture. They are wearing their current
Three days after, Diamond returned but unexpectedly he was still sweet to her. He hugged her tight and told her that he loves her very much. All she could feel was his longings and sincerity which was opposite to her expectations.When she asked him where was he for three days, he would say, “I came back to the human world to check on something. Did you miss me?” While wearing a grin on his face.It was then that she realized that he still didn’t have any idea about King Freon's message. Will she tell him about it? Or she’ll keep it to herself?“King Freon came here three days ago.” She said, laying comfortably in his arms. They just finished their hot session.“Why did he come here?” Dye asked, playing with her hair. They were on each other's arms under the thick comforter. They’re both naked and sweaty.She sighed and lifted her head to look at him. Her head was on his chest, listening to the
“Yes… Aphrodite is back, and she wants to see him as well.”She felt like there was a stone that was stocked inside her throat. She unconsciously crumpled her shirt as she surprisingly looked at Freon who was now smiling widely as if he was mocking her stand as Dye's wife.The sweats formed on her forehead yet she still acted calmly outside. “Why does she want to see my husband?” It was a shameless question but she just want to know.Freon chuckled and his white teeth showed up. “Isn't it obvious miss Crimson?” It was a sarcastic tone and he also called her as ‘miss Crimson’ instead of ‘Mrs. Fletcher'.She stared at his grey eyes. “What are you trying to say here Mr. Freon?”He laughed. “It's obvious that they still have feelings for each other after more than five decades of parting. Do you know that they were inseparable before? King Diamond lov
