(Migumi's POV)“Are you sure you will be okay?” Aiden asked for who knows how many times already. I glanced at the man sitting on my bed. He looks dashing in his black suit. His hair is pushed back neatly and his handsome face brings more class to his overall appearance.“Tara will be there, too. Don't worry about me,” I assured him.He gave me a reluctant look.I received an invitation from Prince Anthony for his birthday this morning. I told Aiden about it and that's when I found out that he received an invitation too and just didn't want to tell me because of my previous encounter with his cousin.He didn't want to stress me out but there's no way I’m going to leave Tara alone with that guy. I don't trust him and I’m worried that he might do something to my friend.“You don't have to go. I’ll watch Tara for you. I know that you're not comfortable with Anthony and I’m also uncomfortable when he’s around you,” he said, making me heave a deep sigh. I checked myself in the mirror for t
(Author's POV)Lady Charlotte looked at Migumi with disdain. She dared to wear a luxurious white gown in a grand banquet where the likes of her don’t belong. Does she really think that the people of the Kingdom will accept her as their Queen Luna?“I’m not looking for trouble, Charlotte. I just want to find my friend,” Migumi told her. She regretted checking this restroom. Had she known that the contemptuous lady was here, she wouldn't have entered. She doesn't have time to fight with her.The noblewoman, ignoring her words, started to walk towards her. She walked in circles around Migumi as if judging her everything.“What makes you think you can steal Prince Aiden from me?” she slurred.Migumi didn't respond. She was just standing still while hoping that Lady Charlotte gets tired of her bullying. Her disgusting behavior doesn't really pick a time and place. She just picks at people whenever she likes.“I bet he fucked you already. You reeked of his semen. Is that how you managed to
(Migumi's POV)I have searched every single one of this hotel but there isn't even a strand of Tara’s hair I could find. I tried looking for her especially at the door where they had disappeared which is where the restroom is located but she is nowhere to be found.My jaw clenched upon remembering Charlotte’s attempt to sabotage me.She really took her time to spill slippery liquid on the floor, hoping that I would fall for it and submit to her plans of embarrassing me.She doesn't really know when to stop, huh?I have tried to be civil with her but there are just times where she’s becoming too much. I thought she loved the prince but there are countless times already where she had spoken ill of him.Doesn't she feel guilty about talking to the person she loves that way? Does she really love him in the first place, or does she just want power?This is the exact reason why I didn't want to encounter her today. I knew that my mind would be cut in half. One is worried for my friend while
(Migumi's POV)“We should go, Migumi. I’ll just update once she comes out. I’ll talk to her myself,” Prince Aiden convinced me but I didn't respond.We have been standing here outside the room in the attic where I found Tara and Prince Anthony doing their thing. They haven't come out from the room yet and it seemed like they didn't continue their sexual activity either because we don't hear sounds of moaning.I am not convinced, however, that whatever they're doing inside was agreed upon by both parties. The frightened expression on my friend’s face tells me a lot of stories. I have to know what really happened.They should be out by this time. Why does it seem like Prince Anthony is hiding her from us?“You haven't eaten dinner,” he reminded me. I pretended to not hear him and remained standing outside the door.I’m not certain but the cold breeze coming through the slightly open window from the attic tells me that it’s already midnight. It’s probably around 3 o'clock in the morning
(Migumi's POV)Aiden brought me to a nearby Tea House. It is already 4 o'clock in the morning and the cold breeze of the air is starting to make me shudder.The expensive white gown I’m wearing doesn't really help with warming my body at all.Fortunately, the prince gave me his blazer, making me feel warm. He also wanted to calm me down with a cup of tea, that's why he brought me here.He hasn't asked me about what happened yet.I don't really seem to be in a good situation to talk about it. I’m still overthinking my mistakes. I don't even know if I could ever win over my guilt.It didn't take long before I heard his heavy footsteps approaching. I lifted my head to greet him. In his hands are two cups of smoking hot tea. He put them on our table carefully. “Have some of this chamomile tea. It’s known for its calming effects,” he said.I wrapped my ice cold hands around the warm tea cup. I could see steam coming out of my mouth as I exhaled. It seemed to be colder here in the capital.
(Migumi's POV)Tara approaches us with a smile on her face. I happily faced her, trying my best to hide my previous embarrassment from last time. I don't want to make our friendship awkward because of that.It’s just a pure misunderstanding.“You look wonderful,” I complimented her green dress. She looks elegant and sophisticated in it. Her messy hair from the last time I saw her is now neatly tied into a bun with a cute ribbon.Tara gave me a faint smile. “You too,” she replied briefly.She glanced at the guy standing beside me who currently has his arms wrapped around my waist. She gave him a small smile as well.“May I borrow her for a moment?” she asked.Aiden and I glanced at each other.He’s still worried about my impending transformation but since it is already Tara who is asking a minute with me, he just nodded and smiled. He knows that I am also worried for my friend. It’s a good time to apologize for my wrong understanding of her relationship with Prince Anthony, too.“Let m
(Migumi's POV)It must be the champagne that’s causing this insatiable heat in my body. I find myself doing things I wouldn't do normally.For instance, tearing his clothes.“Woah! Woah! Easy there. Hahaha!” he chuckled with both of his arms raised in the air. I looked at him hungrily like I wanted to eat him. “You're so wild…”Me? Wild?I have to say that that is the first I have ever heard someone say that to me.People usually describe me as sweet and gentle.I put my naughty hands on his hard chest, feeling his heartbeat on my palm. I looked straight into his eyes as I felt the heat of my body increasing every second.Why does he look so hot tonight?“Show me BDSM…” I begged him like a puppy. He smiled sweetly. I sucked his finger when he put it in the corner of my lips.He has not undressed me yet. I’m starting to feel impatient. I just want him to fuck me now.Isn't that what BDSM is about?“Are you sure about that?” he asked teasingly as if to make me beg for more.I wrapped my
(Migumi's POV)I woke up to the sound of rustling leaves. I hear birds chirping. I hear water flowing somewhere.I opened my eyes, noticing that I was laying on a bed of moss. The damp earth pressing against my cheek. I scanned my eyes at the tall trees surrounding me. Their thick branches not allowing the ray of the sun to shine through directly to my face.Where am I?Where is Aiden?I sat up, my head spinning. The memory of last night, the clawing of the sheets, the slapping of the skin, the loud moaning, all came flooding back. I was making love with Aiden, and then… nothing.I scrambled to my feet, my legs shaky. I stumbled towards the sound of rushing water.Where is this place? Did Aiden take me somewhere without my knowledge?As I reached the edge of the clearing, I gasped.“What…” I muttered confusedly.A river, wide and swift, flowed before me, its surface reflecting the azure sky. But it wasn't the sky that caught my eye. It was the reflection staring back at me.My own ref
