LOVE or OBSESSION 38
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. He was willing to take care of her?She shook her head as she felt she was daydreaming or probably hearing things. "It's reality Nayla. Don't take my sympathy for g

Kera went out of her room, wearing a black veil over her head."If I'm being asked of, tell them I want privacy, including the Verin" she told the guard that stood at the door after chasing the gossiping people.The guard bowed and she walks out.Kera snuck out of the palace like a thief in the night, trying not to be discovered.She headed towards the stable and grabbed her horse and with that, she rode away from the palace. To where no one knows.... The next morning, Nayla escorted Bella to her home.She was asked to get some rest by the physician but she stubbornly protested.She just couldn't let Bella go without being a good friend and giving her a good send off. Besides, Bella now being mature and strong like she had wanted deserves more than just a send off.Nayla came back to the palace, and met a raged Verin waiting for her in her room. Still griping the door knob behind her, Verin approached her with heavy breaths as his menacing golden eyes blazed. His eyes kept her roo

"Why did you kill my husband?" Nayla asked him, her voice more like a whisper.Her voice gentle and soft. She didn't look hateful like the first time she knew him.That time, she was still consumed by her anger, her sorrows and pain of loosing her husband whom she just got married to.She had thought that life with Nedan would turn out better only to be widowed by this man.Who wouldn't get angry?Who wouldn't be vengeful?But now, she was calmer and even more tranquil. She was ready to know Verin, know his reason for killing her husband.And she was calm because she went aback to when Nedan was killed. If Verin was evil and heartless, he should have killed her as well.If Verin was brutal, she should have forcefully claimed her, with or without her consent. He was a King after all. But she realized he didn't. So he really wasn't heartless, there was something more to the picture that the surface.Verin didn't know what to say and just stood up. He stared at her again then averted h

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

"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.

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,

"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 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

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,
