Nayla was appalled. He's Verin brother."You're...""Yes" he quickly cut her off as he made a small chuckle."I know you're stunned. My brother and I are too opposite worlds" he added as he retracted his posture and placed his hands into his pockets."My bad, I didn't let you in. Come into my kingdom, will you?" He stretched out a hand for her as he looked at her."I can move on my own. I'm not weak" she rejected him. Yes he was intoxicatingly beautiful but she didn't find him that way at all."Ouch. You're the snotty one" he murmured as he led the way.They both strolled, in awkward silence. "So why did you kidnap Bella and why do you need me?" Nayla tried to break the silence"Too much questions for a snotty woman like you. Just hold on, you will find out" he answered, much rudely than Verin.They passed through the thick black bushes. A thorn clutch onto Nayla's dress and as she tried to free herself, it ripped off.It had thorn and exposed her white laps. Another thorn caught the

I hate all these! " She cries." Don't cry Nayla. You're only feeling this because you are stubborn" the voice of her mysterious well wisher appeared in her head.She raised her head and saw the elegant woman, wearing a black gown. "Thank goodness you are here. I am so""Confused" the woman completed."Nayla, you're only being stubborn. The signs are there" the woman said to her." What signs?" Nayla was confused."You're in love. You have fallen for Verin but you refused to accept it" the woman said to her.Nayla was now st

The palace looked deserted and forest-like. The premises grew grasses, what surrounded the palace were bushes and thick sharp thorns.Just as Verin stood gracefully on the walls a voice echoed, so authoritatively in the premises."I know you would come brother" Rayman said."Stepbrother" Verin hissed as he corrected."But we're of the same Father" Rayman smirked as he surveyed Verin.He was sitting on a majestically decorated throne, just at the corridor of the courtroom that faced the grassy premises.The palace was awfully quiet and looked deserted."He is not my father!" Verin growled."Oops, but Atlana is his wife" Rayman taunted" Don't you dare mention my mother's name, Rayman!" Verin's intimidating aura blazed, taking the atmosphere under it's control.The atmosphere became tensed. Everyone felt captivated and spellbounded by Verin's sudden appearance.He was looking so scary and invincible that even Rayman started to get unknowingly scared to his wits."Why are you here?" Raym

He started to attack every men that came his way.He was strong, but was surprised that the men were much stronger.But still, he didn't give up and kept fighting till his last breath.He was ready to protect Nayla. He was ready to give his all."Why don't you just give it up? You're loosing anyway" Verin smugged at him."I won't rest until I give my everything to protect my wife" replied Nedan, still attacking. Suddenly he threw his sword and it sliced some strands of Verin's hair. This action seem to have angered Verin.Verin swiftly slashed his dagger at Nedan's neck and Nedan fell to the ground, weak.Nedan carried his head up to face Verin, though still weak."You're nothing but a weakling" Verin gave a smug smirk."You might be the winner, but I will never bow to you. And I know my wife will forever carry me in her heart and will avenge my death" Nedan hissed.He turned to the carriage and faced Nayla again.She was running after him

"Nayla, you want your little Bella alive, don't you?" Rayman's voice echoed, demonically in the premises.He gracefully sat on his throne and faced both Verin and Nayla."She will be alive only if you come to me" he flashed a Devilish grin on his faceNayla turned to Verin. Her heart was in chaos.Even if she badly wants to be around Verin, she just couldn't let the little girl get hurt.It will kill her insides if anything bad happens to Bella."Let me go" she whispered softly. Verin stared back at her with so much unwillingness in his eyes."I can't" he told her, voice hoarse.He rapped her even closer to him."Just let me go, if you truly care for me" she whispered again.Her heart wished to stay with him and she knew not whyBut at the same time, she couldn't take Rayman's words for granted.He had showed her Bella.

Thank goodness she wasn't that far away from Verin so she was still fast enough to save him. It happened so fast. She couldn't believe she would be that fast. The arrow hit the floor and the grass started to burn. Just after that, multiple arrows started firing at them. ToNayla subconsciously placed herself in front of Verin as a shield facing him and the arrow that was flying towards him with an ineluctable force, struck her hard and pierced deep into her back, just below her waist.Though, the fire quenched before hitting her, it's sharpness still pierced into her skin.She coughed out blood and as she stared at Verin. Her hands that were holding him slowly loosenedShe was about to be fall off to the ground but he caught her. She closed her eyes."Nayla" his hands were shaking as he held her. His knees also started to give up their strength and he fell to the ground."Open your eyes" He shook her gently but she only smiled."This is my 'thank you' for saving me the last time" s

Nayla could feel the exasperations boiling within Kera so she tried to comply.Getting to the palace, Lyla and the other maids quickly arrived and helped Kera, to take Nayla and Bella.

She wanted to stand up to get it but Verin stopped her. "Come inside" he uttered loudly.A maid came in with a food trolley, bowed at Verin and went straight to the table.She settle all the dishes on the table and bowed at Verin with her hands in front of her when she was done. "You can leave" he ordered her and she left the room.He stood up from the chair beside Nayla's bed and walked towards the table as he took a plate of food and walked back to Nayla.This time he settled down on her bed, beside her and faced her."Here" he took a spoonful of food over to her lips, giving her an expectant look to comply."I can feed myself" she puffed her cheeks. "I know""So why?" "Because I'm the reason for what happened to you so I must take care of you" he told her with a gentle voice.She blinked as her eyes widened in surprise.

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
