"I am busy, what is it?" Wayne drawled, going to take a sit in the corner of the room.

"I have been trying to talk to you for over a week now, but you keep rebuffing me with the same response "I am busy, let's talk later," she mimicked.

He let out an exasperated sigh "Okay, I do not have a lot of time right now. I am here, you may speak."

You may speak.

How annoying, like she needed his permission to speak or express herself. She was not here to beg his permission; she was here to cut a deal. A smooth negotiation at best, and a rough haggle at worst.

"I wanted to speak to you about something," she began.

When he saw her pause, he waved her on impatiently.

"You actually owe me a wish and I am here to collect on it," she stated.

She saw his eyes narrow in a suspicious appraisal, then he linked his fingers on his lap and cocked his head to the side "Go on."

Unsure of what his body gesture signified, she went on "I want you to allow Everette to go into fabrics and designs, to go to fashio

    He had just stepped into a black tuxedo when a light knock rapped on his door.He didn't bother to ask; he knew who it was. Without waiting for an invitation, the door was pushed open and Rojan walked in."Good timing, come help me with my cufflinks," he held out his hands to Rojan."What will you do without me?" Rojan said with a grin as he approached him, he received the small box with the jade blue cufflinks and began to roll his sleeves. He was wearing an oxblood V-neck, long-sleeve flame print shirt with slim-fitted coffee brown trousers. His unruly red hair was perfectly parted and styled with the curls sleek with wax."You clean up nicely Rojan, one would think you are putting more effort into your looks for a certain lady," he teased."I always look good," Rojan countered, then went on "How about yourself? One would wonder why you refused to compliment your mate. Does her beauty scare you? Scared you will fall hopelessly for her?"Wayne let out a scoff "You wish,""Yet here we

    She began to descend the stairs slowly, taking a step at a time.Wayne did not know when or how he had moved. But he was at the bottom of the stairs, waiting to receive her. When she reached the last step, he stretched forth his hand, for the second time tonight.She took it, letting him guide her down and onto the floor.This simple gesture made his heart tighten with emotion, she was entrusting herself into his hands, following his lead. And it sat heavy in his chest what he planned to do to her.Regardless, he would not change his plans.He turned around and addressed the crowd "The party is hereby officially open, enjoy yourselves," he said and they all clapped enthusiastically.He led her to a table at the corner and poured her a glass of wine "Care for some?" he offered."Is it alcoholic?" she asked."Yes, but it is a sweet red wine and not the rum you dislike," he explained and then added, "You look great by the way."She eyed him suspiciously "Is that a compliment?""Could be,

    An alarm rang in his head.He hoped she had just excused herself to use the restroom, to adjust her make-up, or mingle with the crowd. Still, he could not shake off the feeling of unease that seemed to race up his spine."Excuse me," he quickly said to Kefas and his family as he hurried off.He went back to the table and looked around, but she was not within sight. Rojan drew up beside him, sensing his mood swing "Is everything alright?" he asked."I told her to wait here for me and I don't see her anymore," he said, his voice deepened with worry."I'll circle around the perimeter outside," Rojan offered, springing into action."Do that, I will check within the mansion," he agreed, then added, "Please keep it quiet."He did not want to spook the guests and disrupt the party. He would search for her discreetly, he needed to fully assess the situation before coming to a definite conclusion.He walked up the stairs to her room, it was empty. He checked his bedroom, his office, and the oth

    It was not unexpected though, he knew they would try to belittle her.It was how they were wired; the royal family were a tough set of people and it was no surprise they would act this way.In fact, he had expected it, but not tonight of all nights, it was her party after all. That was why his queen needed to be someone strong to match them aura for aura. Unless they would trouble her peace and trample upon her.He debated within himself if he should intervene in the situation and rescue her, but this was a woman's affair. Wouldn't it be bad for his image to be seen meddling?"Then where do I belong?" He heard Candice ask, continuing the conversation."Anywhere but here, you are a human. You should be in your world and not here!" Peniel said rudely."Because of you, our chances at becoming Luna have been destroyed," Sheila's voice rang out in anger."You stole it, what should have been ours," Lola accused her.The conversation was becoming heated and he was planning to step forward to

    Rojan walked into the vast compound of the house.He stood in the middle of the interlocked parking lot, with eyes scanning the environment.He was looking for anything that looked suspicious or out of place. Everything looked calm and in order. Over a hundred coaches were parked inside and outside the mansion's surroundings. This place was teeming with tight security, as various defense personnel, both government and private were on duty, securing the area.His attention was drawn to an area at the back, where he saw a cluster of people. He started in that direction, intent on investigating it. He had only walked a few strides when he heard a loud yell.He knew that voice.His stride broke into a mild run as he hastened toward them, his pulse had quickened. He was just a few meters away when he heard Bernice yell again "Woah!"He practically shoved apart two men standing in front of him to get his way into their midst. Once he had parted them, he examined the situation.Clear blue eye

    "What is wrong with you Rojan? Stop spoiling my fun," she muttered irritated."Forgive me Bernice, but I can't let you do it," he said with polite disapproval.She ran a frustrated hand through her hair "Why can't you just relax and have some fun? Why are you always uptight and unhappy, just like Wayne? No wonder you both are best friends, alike in every way. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together."He stowed the pipe away in the side of his trouser "I am not unhappy. Wayne and I are not unhappy. And you are wrong, we are two different people with individual personalities.""Then why is it so damn hard to get you to do anything fun. You won't date me, you won't sleep with me, you won't kiss me, you won't dance with me, you won't let me smoke opium or whatever it is called. Everything is so black and white with you; you are no fun." She stated unabashed.His already pale complexion flushed in amazement at her open declaration. She had no filter with her words. She

    Rojan felt his mood growing salty as he strained his hearing to listen in on their small chit-chat.His eyes were fixed on them as they strolled away.Well, he was only eavesdropping in on them for her own safety.He had brought her to this plane, a strange place away from her world. It was only honorable that he watched out for her, keeping tabs on whatever, she was doing at every point in time. Even Wayne would approve of his behavior, it was an act of service to ensure she was out of trouble during her time on this plane."Believe me there's a lot of things you are yet to explore in my world," Xander said, his voice playful.Rojan rolled his eyes at his flirtatious words."Really, I can't wait," she replied dryly."After we danced…" he had stopped walking and was now looking at her "I could not stop thinking about you," his voice was husky with passion.Bernice slowed her steps and she came to a halt "Uhuh," she replied absent-mindedly."I want to kiss you my lovely one.

    Strong hands encircled her waist and pulled her against a well-muscled chest.Her head lifted and she gazed into the grey depths of his eyes, a very attractive set of eyes.Enfolded in his arms, she had to rest her hands on his broad shoulders to keep her balance.Candice let her eyes roam over his jet-black tuxedo. It was so nicely cut and fitted, that it molded around his body, accentuating his bulging biceps, his muscled chest, and the tapered layout of his lean torso. He spared no expense when it came to his looks. He knew he was handsome, and by all means, showed it off.She turned around to glance at the others slow dancing on the dance floor, trying to see if anyone was watching him. If she was drawn to his sexual appeal, many other ladies who had eyes would find him attractive too.Was it just her insecurity making her feel nervous about someone else ogling her man?Did she just refer to him as hers?Well, technically he was her man while the contract was still valid."What bo

    After a solid hour of doing nothing but crying her eyes out.She drew back from Everette and wiped at her cheeks.The wheels of her thoughts had begun to spin in a different direction. Her mind seeking an escape from this harsh reality. A whirlwind of ideas blew through her brain like a hurricane.While she agreed that she was an easy target to be used and deceived, she would be a complete fool to stay put and watch as Wayne carried out his plans and trampled all over her."I need to leave, Everette," she whispered.Her maidservant's eyes widened "What?""I need to leave immediately, I cannot just sit around and wait for him to do these horrible things to me," she repeated."Are you trying to run away milady?" Everette whispered as her eyes darted toward the door, nervously."I am not running away, I am simply leaving," she stated, then she let out a bitter laugh "This…place was never home, to begin with. I was only a passing guest and now it's time to leave.""You would not be able to

    Everette rushed to hold her."Are you okay milady? Did you confront him? What did he say?" she asked all at once with concern in her voice.She was unable to respond. Too shocked to speak, so she did what she could only do, which was to let the tears flow from deep within her soul.She felt an agony like no other.Her shoulders shook, her chest heaved and her stomach knotted. Snot ran down her nose all the way to her mouth, saliva drooled from the edges of her lips down to her chest. A vein jumped in her temple, throbbing like a migraine as she felt her world crash around her.Her whole body trembled and yet she could not utter a sound.Her eyes burned as though it was her blood that gushed from them instead of water.The emotion was so raw, so painful.He had deceived her, betrayed her trust, and broken her soul.He had everything planned out from the beginning, she was just a pawn in his game. A ragdoll he could use and dispose of, a cheap accessory that could be bought with money.

    She could not believe Wayne had written this contract.Would not believe he had so cold-heartedly drawn up such a heartless, wicked, demeaning contract for her.No, not the Wayne she knew.How well do you know him? A small voice murmured in her head.For the four months she had stayed with him, she could attest to certain things he was capable of and this was too despicable to be true.Shook her head to clear it "Where did you get this from?""I found it lying in a corner in his office when Earnest instructed me to clean it this morning," Everette responded.Candice opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She swallowed and tried again "I can't believe this Everette, I just can't," she turned on her heel and started towards the door."Where are you going?" Everette called behind her."I am going to confront him with this," she threw over her shoulder.Before Everette could say anything else, she had opened her room door and was heading out. Her eyes had narrowed to slits and she saw re

    Candice clutched the scroll in her lap as she looked outside the window of the coach.She had just finished with the elders at the assembly and Jason was taking her back home from the city.Whoof, she sighed softly.She had accomplished her mission today, had been so nervous, but somehow, she had gotten it done.Her heart was full of joy and she couldn't wait to present this gift to Wayne.It was his father's dream to remove the borders and now she had set the ball rolling.Eventually, in a few years, the borders would cease to exist. She would continue to push bit by bit until it was completely done.This gift was her token of appreciation to Wayne for all the times he had rescued her, taken Bernice in, and revived her from death's door.She didn't want to always be at the receiving end of his benevolence, wanted to be able to give to him as well.To prove to herself that she was worthy to love him and to receive his love. She would be a partner that he could count on, who would stan

    Wayne sat watching the waves from his balcony.He saw the rise and fall of every tide in the distance.The movement of the water as each wave flowed and crashed on the stones at the shore.Anyone who saw him now would think he was enjoying the beautiful scenery and the warm rays of the afternoon's sun.Far from it.For while his eyes watched, he saw nothing. While his skin absorbed the warmth, he felt nothing.His external surroundings were vague, fading into nothingness while his mind echoed a single question: What do I do next?His plans had utterly failed.The recreation of the beast did not take effect and she was still human. All his efforts had been for nothing. What was he supposed to do now?Ten years of searching, of doing everything he could to find her, and she was utterly useless to him.His future of having kids and raising a family was unachievable now.Sabine said the bones were never wrong. What if for once they were wrong?Could she really be his? What if she was not

    Well, it looked like a chair, but was different in some aspects.It was made with leather and its back panel was slanted in a way to make you recline your back, while still sitting. It also had leg sockets, in which you could insert your legs, and a large armrest for comfort.A very unique type of chair indeed, one he had not seen before.Once the carriers had off-loaded the chair and left, an elder spoke up "So this treasure you speak about is a chair?"Candice smiled broadly "It is unlike any other chair. More satisfying than silver and gold. Who would volunteer to give it a try?" She asked.They all hesitated, reluctant to try it out. However, Thaddeus owned up "I will honor you and give it a try. Be warned though, I am very critical and would not spare you my honest opinion."She nodded in agreement.With that being said, he pulled on a pulley and his elevated chair began to lower to the ground until his feet finally touched solid ground. Then he got out of his chair and slowly wa

    Entertaining.He was more than a millennium old and had seen his fair share of the world.Few things intrigued him; in his own right, he had seen everything. Could predict a situation before it occurred and 90 percent of the time, he was always right.Therefore, the girl him before him, standing in the midst of the assembly with a brave, yet frightful countenance, intrigued him greatly.How dare she summon them unescorted by her mate?A human girl, demanding they converge before her?A mortal, a weakling. An unwanted guest that had the privilege of being Luna, an informal rank.If she was not yet crowned queen, she had no right to demand their audience. They only answered to the throne.She had no real idea who they were, if she knew she would be scared to approach them. They were the very pillars of this realm, the lineage of the founding fathers. The backbone of this dynasty upon which the king ruled and thrived. Each one of them had served this nation in their prime, giving their l

    She had been pinning to go home ever since.Now that the cavalry was here to rescue them and take them back home, the thrill of returning home had faded.Leaving a hollow emptiness inside her."How fares our king and Luna?" Rojan asked casually, as though he had not just shattered her heart a moment ago."King Wayne is doing well and our Luna is bustling with energy as she follows him about his duties," Kefas replied.Wait.Did that mean Candice was now well?Rojan and her exchanged glances, then he nodded. Indicating to her that Candice must be fine.Oh, thank goodness.Even though she had fallen short of being a dependable friend, she was glad that Candice had someone like Wayne, other than her to rely on. Someone who truly wanted her was showing her how much he cherished her.Unlike a certain male, who had torn her heart to pieces without batting an eye.Leaving Rojan and Kefas to discuss, she went about gathering her clothes.

    "What's a nymph? That's a good thing, right?" She asked unsure."Nymphs are just as their name implies, promiscuous despicable creatures with excessive sexual desires or sexual appetites. Always seeking male company or partaking in harems or orgies to sate themselves. Yet they are insatiable, it is a compulsion of their nature, an inbuilt behavior, a trait, a curse." He said bluntly.A curse.The word reverberated in her mind. She could see how Rojan would see those traits to be a curse, he was after all, the prince of celibacy that enshrined self-preservation beyond anything else.Damn it, how had she ended up this way?She saw him turn around and quickly begin to wear his clothes, picking them up from all the directions he had thrown them last night.But they had not finished what they started."Rojan wait," she moved to him to hold his jacket before he wore it. He immediately left the Jacket in her hands and put distance between them."Why are you acting this way? From what you jus
