ADRIANI couldn't do it. I couldn't continue like this. How everything went downhill in mere seconds is still shocking to me. Aria is gone. Dylan is...dead. We were outnumbered. There was no way I could do anything about Veronica without her harming Aria successfully. I wasn’t prepared for the situation I saw at hand. When I saw Aria, hurt, in pain, I lost myself. She was bleeding profusely and she was in great need of a physician. I couldn't allow her to die. It was exactly how I had thought it to be. Veronica needed me because her heart liked me in a twisted sort of way only she understood. She called it love. As I studied the situation, I already knew what she had in her mind even before she uttered those words. 'Tis the only reason why she didn't end our lives when she had the whole subjects at her disposal. "Reject her." Adairs had boomed in my head. He was in agreement too. "We have to save her. Aries can't die, like this." I had to sacrifice my freedom, happiness and love for
ARIAFaint noises, more like whispers from a far distance. My body felt rigid but warm and cozy. I tried opening my eyes immediately but it took a great amount of energy and strength. I could barely keep them open for a few seconds before I closed them back again. I took deep breaths through my very much dried up nostrils and shifted my head on the softness it was laid on. A pillow. The events of earlier came back gushing to my head and instantly I realized I wasn't dead. I was alive. This gave me the energy to open my eyes again with doubled strength than before. It was dark. The cyrtains were drawn. I was in what appeared to be a small cottage room with minimal furnishings. There was no one present. I was on a bed and wrapped warmly in thick bed covers. The whispers had stopped and I realised they were coming from outside the bedroom or cottage. Probably passers-by or the occupants.I groaned as I lifted my hand to take the covers off me. I wanted to check my wound. From how sore a
ARIAONE WEEK LATER. "Want some soup with the bread?" Ferris asked as she served Gregory a heap of roasted rice and corn on his plate. I watched Gregory dive into his meal immediately, feeding himself large spoonfuls of rice into his mouth. Ferris made sure I ate light. I had relatively gotten much better, so much more than I expected I would. The pain was faint and lately, it started to itch a little bit. It was healing nice and well. I was taken care of so well and I couldn't be more grateful to Ferris. Truly she was the last person I expected to be kind to me. I couldn't resist asking her why she willingly helped me. She said I was never wicked to her, not even when I ascended the throne as Luna. Truth was, she had been scared, I would subject her to ill treatment but none came. "Yes please." I was having a huge appetite today. After eating fruits I still had space for bread. I ate quietly and slowly until Gregory broke the silence. "Yes. Luna, I have made some important discov
ADRIAN"Greetings, my king." King? His king? I wasn't their king! I had finally accepted it. Veronica has successfully achieved for what she has aimed. My sanity, peace, strength and happiness. I was hunched over my study table, my hands gripped the edges so tight my knuckles were white. Honestly, Gregory came at the wrong time. His voice and choice of words seemed to infuriate me more. I growled loudly, the voice coming from deep within me. I placed my hands on the table and swiped the contents on it, along with the tumbler filled with the vile orange liquid . It shattered on the floor, the contents splashing everywhere, the colour staining the tiles instantly. I scoffed. This is what she wants me to ingest! How perfect. The papers flew in the air before it scattered everywhere around my study. I watched the papers dance in the air before it kissed the wet ground, the colour slowly permeating the white papers. I was still angry. How dare she? Was this how my life was to become? Me
ADRIANI was calm, happy and somewhat excited. Why? Aria was safe and healthy. Veronica's threats were useless! As long as she was clueless about Aria's location, I was contented. Gregory had assured me that much and I trusted him, every word very astute. Because of all these series of fortunate events and this good news, I suddenly realized how weak and so tired I have been. It was time for dinner. And today, the king of Cosmos would be present at the dining table. I walked with my head held high, holding every soldier's gaze who showed surprise at my presence. Even Veronica was surprised. Her eyes enlarged for a slit second before she masked it up with a gentle smile. A maid hurriedly served me different dishes on different plates as though I starved myself for days. I started with the drumsticks and the little pepper sauce on the side. I enjoyed the flavour that bursted in my tongue and hummed. "I see you drank the portion. Finally!" She clapped her hands. She smiled brightly, h
ARIAIt was nightfall, the sky was almost at its darkest. Ferris had gone to a gathering with her friends. She wanted to have fun and also use the opportunity to find out what she could about our pressing matters. Gregory had a night duty at the palace. It was only I, alone at home, in the cottage. I had eaten in the darkness. I widened my vision and was able to see my surroundings. I had a bath and dressed for bed. It was only a dull ache now. I sighed out as I stared at my naked self in front of the mirror. My once upon a time flawless body was decorated with two scars now. All caused by an arrow of Veronica's. Just as I snuggled in the warm comforters, I had a slight noise by the main door. It was too early for Ferris to return so what was happening? Or perhaps she forgot something? I waited, with my eyes staring at the roof for Ferris intrusion but it never came. It wasn't Ferris. Ferris would have used her key and gotten access to the house. Same went for Gregory. So who was a
ARIA"Arhh." I moaned out as Adrian pounded harshly into me. "Huh huh huh." I breathed out loudly as I pushed my arse back to him, making his cock push deeper into my wet cunt. I reached down my clitoris and pinched my bud between my fore and middle finger. My parts were all wet with arousal and the feeling was intoxicating. And the sounds our lovemaking made, so pleasing to the ears."Uhmm." I cried out. My eyes blinded with passionate tears as I battled to flip. I wanted to look at his eyes fill with pleasure because of my wetness and warmth. I wanted to feel the power it came along with. I wanted him to know how he made me feel, how vulnerable I was to his passion. I was his slave and he is my captor in this passionate romance. "Fuck, Aria. Your cunt is so tight and wet. It squeezes my cock so tight and well." Adrian bent down and bit my ear playfully as I wrapped my legs around his waist, meeting him thrust for thrust. I came without warning, I shattered unexpectedly, my eyes bri
ADRIAN. She was snoring so loudly. Yes. Tis good that she's asleep. The seeds Ferris had provided indeed worked. At first I had doubted if Ferris knew what she was doing. I scoffed at the pumpkin skin she had grinded into fine pieces. She assured me it had no peculiar taste and it dissolved well with other liquids. And true to her words, Veronica had gulped down her wine without so much as a wince. She suspected nothing and now, the witch of the wild west was asleep. I eased off the bed and walked out of the chambers. The guard at the door looked at me questioningly. I shrugged it off and acted natural. "My queen is asleep. Guard here with your life. I have urgent matters to attend to in the study." The guard looked pleased. The dull head loved how I spoke about Veronica. He fell for it. They all thought the portion was in my veins. Bloody fools. I walked away freely and entered by study. Gregory was already there waiting for me. I bolted the study door quietly after giving the att
