And her hands were soon rough and chapped in the soap water.Wendy would pace over from time to time and point out some invisible stains and dust.She would deliberately step on the part that Aurora had just cleaned a moment before, leaving some dusty footprints behind, so that Aurora had to redo th
Chloe looked as though she had just been slapped on her face.Her body trembled violently in humiliation. Her face changed from red to grey and then to pale.“…She just missed one day’s meal. It is not a big deal,” Chloe gritted, holding on to her last thread of dignity.“And that increases the dang
Aurora’s heart jumped to her throat.That was the same question that she had been wondering.Silas couldn’t be that nice to give this kind of supreme power away to Damien.So what was Silas planning on exactly?She wished that Silas could answer Chloe.But Silas simply replied with an impatient tone
Aurora blurted out, “What are you—”Morgana put one finger on her lips, silencing her, and pointed to Aurora’s left.Aurora saw a back door leading to the yard on her left.She immediately stood up, bent down, and snuck out of the kitchen quietly.The head maid was yelling at the others to give her
“Unless you know any secret tunnel leading outside, not guarded by the soldiers, then I don’t know which route is safe for us—”“…The wedding,” Westin said abruptly.Aurora’s eyes lit up.Right.The wedding!It was the perfect timing, with all the guests coming into the city and the palace packed wi
There was a short silence in the shed.Then the three of them burst out laughing in unison.“That is the spirit, Aurora!” Morgana cried, “You have got to make that bitch pay!”“I believe you already have a plan?” Westin looked at Aurora with a grin.“I do,” Aurora nodded.Kaelan pursued eagerly, “Th
Chloe took these photos herself.She was quite proud of her charms. So she took those photos to commemorate how many men she had seduced to bed.Many of those men were older than Chloe and were already married with kids.These photos came with another important purpose.Growing up in an orphanage me
It was still super hectic down there, with everyone busy working on the feast for the dinner party after the ceremony.Aurora took a couple of hours to finish the work that she had at hand and then reported back to the headmaid.The headmaid was busy working on the wedding cake.“Can I help with thi
“ENOUGH.”Damien spoke up and silenced the whole crowd.“There was no point arguing about this.” He said in a cold voice, “Take these cookies and cake to the lab and see if there is any peanut in it. The truth will speak for itself.”The soldiers received his order and hurried out of the lounge agai
Damien narrowed his eyes. “Are you telling me how to rule my kingdom?”Ellington’s mouth dropped open, “No…Of course not…I wouldn’t dare…”“And it makes me wonder why you are targeting Lady Kurt.” Damien let out a snort, “You wouldn’t think that you will naturally become Luna once I punish Lady Kurt
“Aspen…ASPEN!”Aurora took the boy in her arms and cried, “Bring the car! To the hospital NOW!”Some people hurried to bring over a car.Gabriel shivered by Aurora’s side. “H—He was alright just a second ago…What happened? Is it…poison?”“Allergy.” Aurora gritted. “Aspen is allergic to peanuts!”The
There were only 3 days left before Aspen chose the final 3.So every lady was out there doing their best to win over the boy’s heart.Some of them brought Aspen handmade cookies; some tried to buy him off with expensive jewelries; one lady even hired an entire circus to the packhouse just to make th
Damien widened his eyes.He saw a woman’s face, which was covered by dreadful burns and scars.Her skin got licked by flames so hard that it was almost impossible to recognize her original features.This was not the scene that he expected to see when he removed that mask.The room lapsed into a deat
Damien’s breathing quickened.That woman…how dared she lie to him!And most importantly, why would she hide her real identity?Who was she, really?Damien ended the phone call and went back to the dining hall.He took a deep look at the woman sitting next to Aspen. She was still wearing that mask ev
The elder cleared his throat awkwardly.He wanted to rule out Janine Kurt as well.But the King clearly said that he wanted her to stay. He didn’t show as much interest to the other ladies, only to this one.As astonishing and ridiculous as it might seem, this Janine Kurt might actually be the winne
During the next couple of days, Damien was busy meeting up with the other Luna candidates.Aurora was glad that he was preoccupied with other things and couldn’t badger her with insane questions anymore.She went into the packhouse during the day to spend time with Aspen. And during the night, she h
The tension between them started to build up again.“No.”Aspen replied loudly, “I don’t want to go to your orchard.”Blanc and Gabriel let out a sigh of relief.Ellington looked super embarrassed.“Are you sure? It will be fun. I bet that you have never been to a private orchard opened up just for
