Amel closed the door and returned to the room afterwards.
"I need to go now". She said.
"But, I do hope we could continue this conversation soon enough, especially when you've become more reasonable".
"I don't think so, because I still need to understand what you're talking about and you haven't made it clear to me". Diego replied, his hands still crossed below his chest.
"Just imagine yourself being close to Princess Carlotta" she said with her eyes closed.
"You could have her; while I get what I want".
And with that, she opened the door and walked out of the room.

It was a long walk for Amel to Lord Lorenzo's room and as she got closer, her heart kept beating heavily in her chest. Of course, she knew he was calling for intimacy, but she was helplessly scared of his roughness.
She hoped it wouldn't affect her child because she sure wasn't ready to lose it.
She finally got to his chambers and awaited one of the
Lord Lorenzo felt bored and exhausted.For someone like him, it was extremely hard to feel this way and he wondered if it was as a result of the encounter he has with Prince Aiken earlier that day.His mother's words wouldn't stop ringing in his ears:*Someday, you'll become a father and I'm so sure you'll never want to watch anyone hurt your child* he couldn't get rid of those lines.Become a father? But how?.How, when he was under a curse? How, when he had lost his previous wives in the process of giving him a child?He was cursed and was never going to have an heir, a successor. When he dies, his legacy would be gone and rulership passed onto another.He dropped the feather he was writing with and covered his face with his palms, taking a deep breath. Over the years, he's never felt so torn, so broken.He was nearly diving into the dark quiet side of him when he heard his door opening. His eyes were still covered but he cou
"Arghhhh!!!" A female's scream was heard.It snapped the distraught out of Lorenzo's head as he heard that familiar voice""Carlotta!" Ginevra shrieked, her eyes dilating in shock as she saw the arrow flying into her leg.She couldn't even stop her from reaching to the ground.Carlotta writhed in pains, her heart pounding heavily as she stared at the arrow stuck in her leg. What just happened??"Oh, goodness! Carlotta, are you alright??!" Ginevra was muddled.Why would Lord Lorenzo shoot the princess?? Did they do wrong by standing there to watch him??She looked up at him and found him just staring at them; then she lowered herself to Carlotta on the floor."It hurts, Ginevra!" Carlotta whimpered."It hurts, just get me some help!"Lord Lorenzo stood and watched them, realizing his mistake. It was Carlotta! He had thought it'd be someone else! Curse the madness, he wasn't even thinking.He noticed as
Ginevra gasped, and Carlotta also flinched when she felt someone lifting her up.There was no way it could be Ginevra. No. The hand felt so cold and hard, and evidently, it was…Lord Lorenzo??He lifted her up in a bridal style and settling on, she could now see his face.Those troublesome eyes of hers widened in shock as they stared at him."What are you doing?" She wanted to ask, but restricted herself, especially without the fact that her lungs had suddenly gone cold.But, what was he doing??? Why was he helping her up???She never expected such from him.Lord Lorenzo could notice the shock on her face, but ignored it anyways as he started walking with her."Oh!" Ginevra muttered and ran ahead of them, so she could lead the way to the room.The few seconds walk she had in Lord Lorenzo's arms made Carlotta feel something different. His arms had been so comforting, cold and hard. Yes, it hardne
Ginevra came into the room with a cup of tea. The physician Lord Lorenzo sent left few minutes ago and the pain in Carlotta's leg had subsided.Ginevra walked closer to her friend and found out how lost she looked."Carlotta? Are you alright? Is the pain still much?"Carlotta sighed and shook her head."No. I'm better. I'm just thinking about what happened earlier. Come on Ginevra, aren't you surprised?"Ginevra shrugged and dropped the cup of tea on the drawer beside Carlotta's bed. "I am but he was just trying to show how sorry he was. Remember? He shot you."Carlotta sighed again. She couldn't get that image off her head. It was actually the first time she would be making a physical contact with Lord Lorenzo. She couldn't forget the way he held her, she felt so safe and small in his arms."Carlotta? You need to take that tea and sleep now. It's late." Ginevra said and Carlotta shook her head."I don't think I can sleep just
Queen Greta sat behind her desk in her chambers, writing on the long brown scroll. She scribbled on it effortlessly as she wrote the letter for her daughter, Carlotta. She could not describe in words how worried she had been ever since she left.*My precious daughter, how are you doing? I hope you been doing great and hope the Lorenzo community is treating you well.I've been worried sick about you my dear. I’ve tried convincing your father about you coming back home but he is not listening to me*The queen continued writing until the whole script got filled up.After pouring her heart into the scroll, she dropped the ink in her hand and folded up the scroll then kept it at a corner on the table. She would send the letter once she was sure the king was too busy to notice it.She stared at the window and stood up, noticing it was almost midday. She wondered what Carlotta was doing at the moment as she walked to the window and parted the
Lord Lorenzo walked steadily to the girls with his expressionless face staring intently. When he moved closer, Carlotta noticed he was staring at her leg and that really made her heart skip."What are you doing out here? Do you ever listen to instructions?" His voice was sharp and hard.Carlotta moved back a bit. "I wanted to get some fresh air." She mumbled staring at her feet.Ginevra was holding her breath as she stood there. She didn't want to breath. She thought it would only make Lord Lorenzo notice she was there too.Lord Lorenzo turned, facing the water. "I can see you are getting better. Get ready tonight. Liam will come and escort you " with that, he turned and started heading back.Carlotta stared after him, her upper lips swollen as she pushed her tongue against it."He's so mean" She mumbled still looking at him.She saw him climb up his horse, said something to Liam and started riding away while Liam stood there staring
"I feel so tired." Carlotta groused as she stepped out of the bathroom. Ginevra was on the bed, already dosing off."Do you think I should go to Lord Lorenzo's room? Should I go and apologize for being disobedient again today?" Carlotta asked but got no reply.She turned to look at Ginevra and rolled her eyes when she noticed she was already fast asleep. She sighed and moved closer to the bed then stared into her friend's face.How long would she continue staying with her here in the palace? She knew Ginevra had things to do too but chose her over whatever that was."Thank you Ginevra. You are such a wonderful friend." She mumbled and smiled then walked to her closet to get dressed.As soon as she finished dressing up, she heard a knock on the door. She turned Wondering who that was."Who's there?"There was no response outside the door.She walked to the door and opened it. Her eyes widened then she blinked twice with surprise
Carlotta was gobsmacked and couldn't kept her surprised face as her arched her brows with her bukgy eyes.Hmm. So the grumpy Almighty Lord Lorenzo can be romantic.Of course, he can never plan all these for her. It's obviously an event planner handiwork - Carlotta thought. She was so sure not to let Ginevra know because she believed no one would believe her as she could not even believe her own very eyes. All Lord Lorenzo of Lorenzo community knows how to do most is Fights that always ends with Bloods.She begrudgingly walked on the roses on the garden beautiful green grasses and she made her way towards the table which was in the center of the garden. Lorenzo was facing the other direction and wasn't looking but noticed she was there already with Liam behind her."Greetings, My Lord" she bowed her head as she got to where he was as his eyes rampages through her. Even a blind man would be awed at Carlotta's beauty. His eyes glinted and almost immediately
It was really fun and entertaining at the orange festival with a lot of activities on and Lord Lorenzo to watch for princess Carlotta.Should it be from the masquerade dance or the warriors entertaining the community citizen with sword fight as it was not a bloody one but the one to display martial arts with people cheering from different angles of the square.What about the housewives and concubines dances?It was a gracious moment to watch as Princess Carlotta watched and cheered them up along with other viewers even though she was also a housewife."That's so unfair of the housewives not contacting you for the dances. You should also participate, you know." Ginevra shouted to Princess Carlotta over the sounds of drums for her to hear."Do you think they'll have the gut to meet Lord Lorenzo's wife, huh?" Princess Carlotta asked, shouting with a smile."No one even have the gut to enter the mansion." Ginevra laughed with her eyes focused on the women on the
"Lord Lorenzo?!" Princess Emilia gasped."What is it about Lord Lorenzo, huh? Do I have any business to do with him?" She stated trying to cover her expressions."I discovered you did not want this marriage so I want to give you to someone you want, princess." He said.Huh. Princess Emilia gasped again.'How does he know that?'"And how do you intend to do that, huh?" Princess Emilia wanted to say that out but kept herself shut and just watched."It's just an exchange, only on one condition," he continued."You'll get me Princess Carlotta and then you'll have a chance to get Lorenzo.""Tch. How dare you call Lord Lorenzo by just his name, huh?" She wanted to shout at him. At least, there should be some respect for him.Everybody does fear him, even Kings refer to him as Lord."And you think he'll give me a chance, huh?""Well, let's see. You're one beautiful princess and can get any man at their knees. A little seduction won't harm anyone,
Lord Lorenzo was on his way from the court to his chamber when he remembered Amel."Liam" he called to Liam who was walking behind him."My Lord""Go check on Amel and get me the physician. If she's awake, come with her too.""Yes, my Lord" Liam walked to his front, bowed his head and left for Amel's house.*The physician helped Amel tidied up and dressed her up."You should take your medicine, now. It will ease your pains down there." Madame Gwen stated as she looked down at Amel's leg while Amel only watched her as she mixed some herbs powder together."Yes, ma'am""Amel…" the woman called and looked at Amel intently."You will not fail me on this, right? I'm doing this because of how worthy you are to me.""I will not fail you, Madame." Amel smiled in assurance and just then a knock came on the door."Let me get the door. That should be from Lord Lorenzo." She opened the door and Liam's head popped in."Oh my, my guess is right
Princess Emilia was at the exit of Gianna's chamber and about to leave for the garden she was to meet Carlotta when she saw Ginevra and Diego. They path they were taking was the way to Lord Lorenzo's quarters.Ginevra was looking more worried.Huh. Could Carlotta be in Lorenzo's Chamber?Or is she being punished? What could make Ginevra be so worried?"Hey" she called but Ginevra was too hasty to even notice Princess Emilia as Diego also hurried after her.Hmm. She shrugged and walked away. *Carlotta paraphrased thought the letter and couldn't believe her mother. She checked her mother's name again and again as she couldn't believe her mother could write all these. She thought her mother wasn't in the support of her getting married to Lorenzo but here she's stating for her to behave like a wife.Who told her she doesn't behave like a wife?But did I really ever behaved like a wife? - she thought and chuckled at herself."You're wasting my ti
Jayden's POV *I finally left Kayden's house and drove back home thinking about what he said.But the question is, where do I start from?I don't even know where she lives and so I don't even know where to start the search from?After driving for somewhat minutes, I finally drove into our compound and parked neatly at the parking lot before alighting as I made my way straight to the entrance door and soon I was already in the living room."Hey mom, dad." I simply stated as I walked pass them. I'm really tired of their never ending nagging and so I think I'll just go to my room and get some good deep slumber."Arnaldo is back, son." Mum announced with a valid excitement in her voice.Yeah, Arnaldo is mum's elder brother's son. He's my cousin and he's just like a son to my parents.I and Arnaldo grew up together and always share everything thing together.We have an inseparable bond and we were always together that people actually thought we w
Jayden's POV *After driving for what seemed like forever, I finally got to Kayden's mansion and driving into the very large and spacious compound, I parked my car neatly at the parking lot and alighted before heading to the entrance door.Stopping at the entrance door, I pressed the doorbell as I stood, waiting patiently for him to come open the door for me.And in a few seconds, the door opened, revealing my crazy buddy with a smile plastered on his face."Yo man!" He exclaimed as he dragged me inside.For goodness sake, can't this dude ever be responsible, huh?He's always playing every time like he's still a kid."Hey stop that man, you ain't a baby anymore, okay?" I huffed as I yanked his hand away and rolled my eyes before stepping into his beautiful living room, well furnished with different beautiful furnitures, and portraits of him hanging almost every part of the living room."It's been a while man, I was just happy to see you, so stop
Jayden's POV*After so much pressure from both mom and dad, I had to order my security man to open the entrance gate for the jobless reporters.And after lots of questions from the press which I did answer with accurate sense to avoid future embarrassments and other things, the press were about to go but my mum ruined everything.She ruined it all that I was left wituh no choice because there is no way I can try to tell them the truth and they'll believe me.Not with what mum said. Not that.I'm so screwed.I mean, how would you want me to deal with these whole thing?Just how!?When mum already told the press that the girl is my girlfriend whom I've been hiding for months.I'm so damn frustrated right now and I don't know what to do.Everything is happening so fast and just like a nightmare.This is as worst as jumping from frying pan to fire.For heaven's sake, I tried dodging and getting away from some sh*ts but no, it's only f
Donald's pov "Close your eyes!" She yelled at me. I wanted to scoff but I thought against it and obeyed her begrudgingly by closing my eyes. I felt her body moved and after some seconds, I couldn't feel her close to me again. I squinted my left eye opened and when I was sure she wasn't close to me again, I fully opened my both eyes. She was still on her towel and she was beside her closet but she had a shirt on already. "Why did you have to barge into my room? What if I was in my nudity?" She scoffed. Seriously, is this Sophia talking? Sophia that would always walk into my room even without knocking and she wouldn't even care if you I was naked or something. Humph! Seems my teachings are really helping. "I did knock, okay? But you didn't answer the door and so, I decided to come in – who knows, you might have been in danger." I defended myself. "Yeah, whatever." She sighed and took out a trouser from her close
Emily's POV *My heart kept thumping heavily against my ribcage as I stared down at my ringing phone.It's Arnaldo calling.He has probably hear the news. Should I even call if rumors?Gosh!!More tears came pouring out of my eyes as I hugged myself tightly.I can't possibly pick the call now, right?My hand can't even seem to pick the phone. The call dropped later.I mean, what will I possibly tell him if I pick the call?How will I explain this to him? I feel so ashamed of myself.I'm really gonna make that Jayden suffer for it.After some minutes of living in my miserable life and crying session I don't think there's a solution for it, I finally wiped my tears and dragged my body up the couch before walking sluggishly to my room.I got to my room and threw my body on the bed, and began my crying session again.I'm so tired of this sh*tty life of curses, while reminiscing on what happened.I know it's not my fault but st
