" How did you get the gossip?" Nayla cuts in. "I have maid friends" Nayla was in a trance for a while. He didn't acquire her like the others. Maybe he's not that bad? No! He must have just been tired I guess. She thought to herself. Cherrie started dozing off and Nayla gave her chance to sleep in the room that was provided for them both. As she tried to give her a quiet environment and exit herself, the girl's hand caught her wrist. "Don't go, I'm still scared please" she begged. Nayla decided to stay and offered her laps as a pillow for the young girl. Verin barged in without knocking, Nayla turned to look at him. He stood at the door and just stared at her. "We ar-" "Shhhh! She's sleeping." Nayla cuts him off with a whisper. It has been a while so the teenager was already fast asleep. Nayla gently removed her laps from her head and replaced it with a pillow. She slowly climbed off the bed. She walked up to Verin. "Are you ready to go? Or you're still going for another huntin

"But on one condition" he added his smile now turning into a smirk. No way!!! It's not fair! "I shouldn't have given myself high hopes on you" I pouted out. His laugh echoed in the hall, pausing everyone from their business. "Are you in or not?" He asked me. I didn't know if I should agree or not and just remained quiet. "What is the condition?" I asked. "You will have to entertain me when I return" "But how?""You know what I mean, my sexy maid" he grinned seductively at me" I need to get going. Let's go Kera" he said and started leaving. He was done already? I watched his broad back facing me, hypnotizing me with his overwhelming, otherworldly beauty. "Listen maid... I know you're just a maid but I don't know why I feel like you're a threat. STAY AWAY FROM VERIN!" I heard Kera whisper behind my back, jolting me from my trance. I turned to look at her. "How can I stay away when he's always around me?" I could only ask. "I don't care just mind the way you go around him. He's of

They were dumbstrucked to see that someone managed to tease this Mr Serious. "Okay, okay fine your name is pretty too" she smiled at him. Adam, already frustrated, walked out of the hall. Lyla turned to Nayla. "Aren't you hungry? Why haven't you touched your food?" She asked her. "Oh yes, I am" she smiled at her as she took her fork to start eating her food. She then looked at Lyla "Umm, no offense but I have a question." She said. "Okay?..." Lyla answered. "Who are you here? Like I haven't seen you around. And neither of you" she added as she pointed at the two other good-looking guys. "I'm Verin's stepmother and those are his step brothers except for Adam" Lyla replied. Nayla paused and just looked at them. "What of Verin's father and mother?" She asked. "They're dead" Getshan said with a pitiful face. She was shocked. She didn't know what to say.That was when she started having this feeling like she was sad. Why was she sad for no reason and all of a sudden? Was she sad for th

"Let me first clean up, please""No. I'm hungry and I don't want to be waiting""But-""Go get me my food rather than being ungrateful that I didn't punish you for walking up late and sleeping on my bed"I was angry, why can't he just stop being a pest. I murmured frustratedly as I dashed out of the room. I tried my very best not to engage in any conversation as I felt dirty. All I needed to do was to bring his food quickly so I can clean up. I reached the kitchen and quietly whispered to Yulia to help me with Verin's meal. She handed the trolley filled with food on it and I quickly hurried through the hallway. Then an idea popped up in my head. "He's troubling me, this early morning. Ughhhhh, I will give him a taste of his own medicine" I said to myself. I went back to the kitchen and sneakily took a bottle of chili peppers. I sprinkled almost half of it in one part of his food. As he ate, I quickly jumped into the bathroom. Ahh finally... Some refreshing feeling. I was busy taki

This man was a total definition of shamelessness. The gown was very short. He had purposely given her the short dress. It's length ended just few inches after her hip line. Exposing her fresh, sweet laps and thighs. "But why?""Because I want my maid who always stay around me to be beautiful""Who told you beauty lies in short and skimpy dresses?""It matters when it comes to you, baby girl " he smiled at her. The last words that came out of his lips rendered her speechless once more. "Done " he said as he elegantly straightened up and looked at her. "Climb up the tree" he ordered her. "Why?" She creased her brows. "Oh you want to stay there so when the tiger comes, it would hunt you instead?" He smirked. He was right but what? Tiger? She walked towards the tree and started climbing it. Verin had want to help her but he was astonished to see she was an excellent climber. "You didn't tell me you can climb a tree" he uttered, surprised. "You didn't bother to ask" she snorted. He

"It's fun, Nayla. It's fun!" He answered, equanimity showing in his face. The place became graveyard silent. Nayla looked into his eyes as she crossed the distance between them. She stepped on the leg of one of the tigers and jumped in fright. She stopped a few steps away. The first thing she looked for was his fingernails. She was shocked to see them retreating back, just like that lycanthrope in that night. "You..." She tried making a sentence. Verin looked at her, patiently waiting for whatever she wants to say. His heart seemed to be scared, due to the never ending poundings. He felt scared, like he didn't want her to say or know anything about him yet. He knew that she had her doubts about him not being normal but he didn't want to tell her anything yet."You're not... Normal" she finally managed to say the words. "You know all along, why acting surprised?" He tried to hide his fears by smirking at her as if not bothered that she knows something. She was quiet. Yes... He was

She breathed in and out for a while and turned to him, he was already walking towards her. When he got to her, he gathered her in his arms."I'm okay" she protested"You're not, be grateful I'm helpful to you" he hissed."I did not ask for your help" she tried arguing. Verin loosen his hold and dropped her on the floor. She winced in pain as she brushed her butt. "Ouch" her mouth twitched at him as she short dead glares at him. He walked passed her as if he wasn't bothered by her glares. "Where are we going now?" She asked. "Back to the palace, where else do you want to go?" He asked, still walking without looking at her.She got up and tried meeting him, but she wasn't fast enough. She was staggering here and there that she bumped her head on one of the tree. "Hold on" she called out. Luckily, he obeyed and halted for her to reach his side. She managed to reach him and rested her hands on his shoulders. "You're slow" he smirked. "I'm feeling lightheaded because of the poison an

Verin calmly walked to her and carried her in his arms as he kept walking. Her skin started to turn bluish purple. She was in danger. His heart started racing. She needs a physician's attention. He started leaping from one tree to another, and then to a hill to the other. He stood at a hill. He could see a village just some miles ahead. He jumped on another hill that led to the starting point of the village. Verin increased his steps as he got to an ancient old house. A young lady who looked like she was in her early forties came out into the frontage. She saw Verin holding Nayla.Her faced twisted in worry as she realized Nayla's condition. "Oh dear, what happened to her?" She asked as she walked towards them.Verin was trying to control himself from worrying. "She... She's in danger. Help her" he told her."Come with me " the lady ushered him into her house. The house was cranky and old fashioned. She told him to lay her on a small bed. The bed made some creaky sounds but that w

After my little talk with Mara, my supposed well wisher, I found myself beside a tree."Thanks for revea...ling..." I turned around but she was gone."For revealing the truth about Nedan" I whispered, the remaining of my sentence."Where have you been?" I saw Kally running towards me.I could tell she has been worried for me."I went to admire the place, let's all go back to the palace" I told Kally and we walked to Verin."Where were you?" I heard Verin's husky voice. He looked like he was offended."I...I went to take a look around, sorry for disturbing you both" I immediately apologized.The ride back to the palace was awkwardly silent, even Kally refused to talk.I noticed she was taking glances at me and felt like saying something but couldn't.When we were alone, I quickly took the opportunity and inquired what happened between she and Verin in my absence."Nothing, I mistakenly provoked my brother so I had to remain quiet" Kally replied."Oh...What did you do?""Nothing, I just

Verin watched Nayla, his mind going in circles.His heart racing, and palms sweating.Staying alone with Nayla wasn't good for him. He didn't know what is going on with him.He looked over at the pond, not talking to Nayla.Nayla turned her horse around and head to a tree.Her mind was in chaos as well. It wasn't long ago she found out about her husband's atrocity."Like I said Nayla, don't get too worked up. You're only confusing yourself the more" her well wisher appeared in front of her.Nayla jumped down off her horse and walked towards her well wisher."You're always appearing when I need you at times. Thank goodness you're here" Nayla pouted."I want to come clean Nayla. Come with me" her well wisher stretched out a arm for her. The woman led her to a tunnel, Nayla not saying a word.They reached the entrance and the woman entered."Where are we going?" Nayla asked, baffled a little."Don't be baffled, step into this tunnel" the woman instructed."But I don't..""You don't trus

Nayla stared at Verin, her heart pounding loudly.She felt quite hot as Verin approached her instead. 'Why did Kally say this?' she almost cried to herself.Kally was on her own horse already and same with Nayla.Rather than asking for his horse, Verin climbed behind Nayla."Let's go out for a ride" he said, brushing his breath against Nayla's back neck."Uhh...uhm V-verin" Nayla stuttered, feeling embarrassed."What is it?" He asked, as he grabbed her waist gently."C...can you get your own horse instead" Nayla told him, shyly."Nope, I want to ride this horse with you." He told her, firmly."But-""You're still my maid, and this is an order" he told her, strictly.Nayla turned around to stare at Verin, showing her dislike on what he is doingVerin smirked as he stared back at her. The two just kept staring at each other.Kally watched the both of them, and giggled inwardly.She had never seen Verin being this cheeky with any woman before, not even Kera.She had noticed Verin, stealin

It's been weeks since Nayla found out about her husband. Nayla patted Kally as she rested on her lap.They were both enjoying each other's company, in the warm afternoon, inside Kally's room."I'm sorry, my husband caused you so much pain. I will do everything within my strength to make it up to you" Nayla said, stroking her head softly."It's not your deed, Nayla. At least, I'm lucky to meet a good being like you, since the past few days. You're truly good Nayla" was Kally's soft reply."Don't say that, I'm not perfect. I only wish the best for everyone around me, since my arrival here, I have longed for my friends and I think I found them in you" Nayla said, smiling"Then I am lucky to be called your friend, Nayla. Thanks for helping me get out of my traumatizing past. I had never thought I'd forget about those memories" Kally almost teared up"I'm happy that you're forgetting about it, please don't try to remember it. Do you want to go out for a walk?" Nayla suggested."After lunch,

...Nayla staggered, reeling with shock as those words escaped Verin's lips.Her husband? Her Nedan was the one whom Kally said was her enemy?"Don't be surprised Nayla. Your husband Nedan is a foolish human king who doesn't know how capable of a monster I could be" Verin said, walking towards Kally.Verin held his sister's shoulders and took her to Nayla's front.Taylor held Nayla's shoulders, gently so that she doesn't fall."My sister here had a friend in Nedan's kingdom that she went to visit... Your foolish husband, grew into liking her and decided to defile her, so heartlessly! I had to go against my own rules and teach that scoundrel a lesson..." Verin said, his hands tightened on his sister's shoulders as he watched Nayla's appalled face.Nayla couldn't speak, her mouth moved but no words came out.Verin, full of restraining anger took his sister away from Nayla and turned around to leave.He sees Skyler and gave him a hard glare. "You're a fool Skyler, a big one!" Verin mutt

"Ahh, that was fun!" Nayla screamed, as she spread her hands wide, floating on the water.Kally saw she was enjoying herself so she decided to do the same. She also spread out her hands and closed her eyes, letting her get used to the soothing water.It was warm, which was strange because it was a cold night.Skyler and Taylor served as the watchmen, guarding the girls."You're not talking, since you saw her right?" Skyler asked, looking at Nayla."She's beautiful, you didn't warn me. I could prepared myself to be even more goodlooking tonight" Taylor said, his hands in his pockets.His eyes were greatly fixed on Nayla the whole time.Skyler only looked at Taylor, a smirk on his face but he didn't seem pleased by what his friend had said.Not that he didn't want Taylor not to admire Nayla, but he was worried because if his friend should fall for her, he would only get hurt in the end and Skyler knew why.Skyler knew Verin had fallen for Nayla, and there was no place for anyone in Nay

Nayla took a rope and tied one of its end, firmly to a pillar beside Kally's window, outside, and let the other end fall to the ground. The rope was quite long.When she was done, she turned to Kally."Would you get down, first" she told, Kally " But what if it's not strong enough, and I fall? " Kally asks, not sure if she can still trust Nayla."You don't trust me yet, that's fine. I expected it" Nayla mumbled and then turned to the window."I will get down first, and then you'll follow. It's that okay? " She asked Kally, not facing her. "Fine" Kally answered.When Nayla got down, she waited for Kally and soon Kally followed."Thank you for trusting me this once " Nayla thanked her.Kally didn't know why she was doing what Nayla is asking her to. She was still scared of going out of her curtains, let alone outside her room but now she's with this woman, whom she doesn't even know her name."You know my name, what's yours? " Kally asked her. " Nayla " Nayla smiled at her. " Nayla,

"What?" I was beyond shock.Seeing Lyla cry so much, made me emotional so I could only just hug and comfort her.Lyla sniffed in her tears as she went on;"One terrible evening, Kally, decided to go visit her friend at the neighbouring human kingdom. Verin had assigned men to protect her. Kally didn't want to be noticed as a royal and she didn't want to intimidate her friend and her family so she decided to go as a normal commoner.She told the men Verin had assigned to stay alert if she needs their help but she didn't want to be followed. The heartless King of that kingdom, saw her and abducted her before she could ask for help..."As Lyla explained, my eyes were solely fixed on Kally.A tear dropped down her cheeks and then blurry visions started knocking at my mind. I didn't know where they came from but all I knew was that, the visions I saw weren't about me.In my vision, I could hear the tearing and ripping of clothes and the cry of a lady who was forcefully held captive.

I silently broke the lock with the vase, and when it was opened, I immediately dashed in.The room was empty, almost abandoned if possible.The thick black curtains made the room a bit dark, if not for the brightness of the day that overshadowed the darkness and made the room a little viewable.I wandered around the room to find what had caused the loud thud but couldn't find anything strange.Sighing that I just got curious for nothing, I decided to leave when...Another loud thud brought me back.I retracted my steps to follow the sounds but still couldn't find any secret door.I checked every curtains and every place that I thought looked stealthy but nothing look unfamiliar or mysterious to me.Realizing nothing, I decided to go out of the room, when...I heard a creaking sounds. I halted my steps to observe again and I didn't hear anything. Then I took another step forward, heading towards the door and this time, I heard that same sound'Where on earth is this sound coming from
