_Present day_

Sira walked through the deserted street, her hands crossed beneath her chest as the sea's breeze wisped through her hair, her dark skin glistening with silver hues under the full moon. The sea crashed against the barricade in lumpy shadows that spilled against the bare floor. She walked faster, putting one leg in front of the other as if in a speed walking competition, looking ahead as she concentrated on the street light that seemed only a few feet away. It was mesmerizing to her how it seemed like the distance between her and the street light never changed, almost like she walked but still remained on the exact same spot. Confused, she scanned the area, looking toward the sea as it crashed and spilled. Her thoughts swam around her head, making her agitated but not afraid. She looked at the street light scrutinizingly, trying to judge the distance for about the 9th time, looking back at the tree she never passed but that seemed to have always been there, wavi

  • My Lover Is A Demigod    In The Shadows

    The young woman sat at a table by herself by the wall in her favorite study hall. Her deep brown braids were packed up in a messy bun, with a pencil serving as a hold for it.This was her favorite hall because people in this hall strictly came here to read, and the hall overlooked the green outside, where many read under trees or came to gist on the grass and have a quick break from classes.Unfortunately, if Sira were to look through the wall-like windows, there was little commotion outside; everybody was either in their dorms reading more or in exam halls. The few who came for short breaks looked too stressed to enjoy their sandwich and barely had time to get their gist as they were going over what they felt they had read but felt like they would forget somehow. Unlike most days, Sira didn't pay attention to the other students. Her full attention was focused on her computer, which she used to scheme yet another document for her economics course. She was

  • My Lover Is A Demigod    Summer Plans

    As usual, the summer sun was without filters and shone proudly, demanding the attention of the residents of the island. Not a cloud dared to mar the bright blue expanse of sky above. Students walked around the school in flip flops and tank tops, their excitement palpable in their friendship groups as they planned for the summer holiday. The school was awash in a riot of colors: the vibrant purples, oranges, and reds of the blooming flowers set against the verdant green of the leaves."It will be so fun, guys," Talia said as she bubbled with excitement while adjusting her designer sunglasses with golden frames. Talia's family is properly rich as her father owns one of the biggest hotels on the island.  Her family beach house, just a few kilometers away from the hotel, will be empty that summer as her parents were vacationing in Paris for the whole season, leaving Talia with free reign over their sprawling beach house just a few miles away from the hotel. Even after 25 y

    The room was filled with excitement and anticipation as the girls tried on different outfits and experimented with makeup and hairstyles. The girls giggled and chatted, making the room a mess in the process with clothes strewn all over and makeup scattered on the dresser.As the girls were busy getting ready, Luci walked into the room in her usual manner of not knocking, surprising everyone with a zip-lock bag containing two squares of brownies. Her thick black hair was left in a free afro and adorned with tiny yellow butterfly clips that added a pop of color to her ensemble. She looked stunning in a light nude brown crop top that showed off her gold belly button piercing, paired with a low-waisted ankle-length skirt that had a thigh-high slit, revealing her slender legs. Her outfit was completed with a pair of strappy sandals that gave her the sophisticated hippie girl look she is known for."Santa Mama is here with your treats, girls."Luci's announcement caught the attention of Sira

    Sira's heart raced as she stood in the presence of the man who had captivated her in ways she had never experienced before. The feeling of intoxication that enveloped her was beyond words. She felt as if she were floating on cloud nine, with a million butterflies fluttering in her stomach. Every moment spent with him was pure bliss. His mere presence was enough to make her feel glorified, as if she were the most special person in the world. The way he looked at her, with an intensity that made her feel like he was devouring her, sent shivers down her spine. It was a look that made her feel like she was the only thing he craved and needed in this world. With every passing moment, Sira melted under his attention. The way he spoke, the way he moved, and the way he made her feel all made her want to be closer to him. Being with him was like finding something she didn't know she was looking for—a missing piece of her soul that she had been searching for. And as she sa

    "Why Are you still in bed, miss?" Talia exclaimed as she walked into the room to find her friend tucked into the blanket with only the top of her brown braids visible. She dropped her water bottle on the dresser and dragged off the blanket from Sira's body, causing her to roll over to the other side of the bed with her face pressed on the pillow. "What Are you doing?" Talia asked loudly as she turned on all the light bulbs, "Today is the trip, remember? Get over your hangover". Sira moaned at the reminder as she rolled over facing the ceiling, her eyes narrowing as she squinted at the fluorescent light."Have you been crying?" Talia's voice was laced with concern when she noticed Sira's face as she sat down on the bed. She examined her friend's face closely realising eyes were smaller than they usually were, looking like tiny black dots in their sockets. Talia moved closer to her friend, taking her hands in hers and stroking them like she normally does whenever she is down.Sira releas

    The heat from the tension in the car could melt an iceberg. They weren't talking, and none of them were on their phones either. It seemed like they were all waiting for someone to break the silence, but it was already 20 minutes into the trip and still no one had said anything. Gerald was driving, and while Luci sat in the front seat, her hands rested on the armrest as she stared out the window like there was something incredible going on out there. Her tawny skin looked blotchy, like she had been crying all night. Sira looked at her in the mirror and felt a pang of guilt spread over her. It was her fault that Luci was going through this, if only she had known about Gerald's feelings for her, she would have kept him at arm's length.After a few seconds of staring out the window, Sira would move on to staring at the back of Gerald's head as he drove the car. She had always liked to watch him drive, he was always perfectly calm when he drove.Now seeing him drive reminded her of the nig

    She knew where she was, yet she kept her eyes closed, hoping steadfastly that she was wrong. She hoped what she remembered was a dream that was far from reality. Dreaming was enjoyable, and it was pleasant when he placed his lips on hers like they were always meant to be there. His lips were soft like baby skin and sent butterflies fluttering through her whole body, first from her lips to down her throat, flowing all the way down to the tips of her fingers and tips of her toes, and finally shooting up to her brain. It was a pleasant dream indeed, although the memories of having such a dream cannot be entertained."Are you awake now?"With the sound of Gerald's voice, she had to accept reality. She opened her eyes, and it was definitely not a dream. Gerald was in a pair of plain maroon boxers, and beads of water hung on his chest hairs. There was nothing unattractive about his shirtless body in that moment; his lean chest was well defined with muscles, and his waist narrowed down to his

    Luci had her afro in two buns, with two strands of twists decending on her forehead. She was wearing a matching set of plain red bikini. Her skin looked a little more tanned than it usually was, giving her a nice glow in the sunlight. She laid down on the sun lounger, looking at the waterfall as the sun caught its water beads as it fell into the kidney-shaped pool.Sira observed her from some distance with a tray of drinks in her hands, willing herself to go talk to her like she planned. At that moment, she didn't know what exactly she wanted to say, all she knew was that she needed to say something to her.She sat on a Sun lounger beside Luci's own, facing her as she placed the tray beneath her. Luci turns her head and smiles at her."Here, Pina Colada," she says, giving Luci the drink."Perfect, exactly what I need," she says, taking a sip. "That's strong.

     "Rora, what's going on?" she asked, concern etched on her face as I watched her wave her hands in front of me. She was trying to rouse me from my thoughts, but my mind was still stuck on the king and our enigmatic conversation in the garden.Soka's dark skin glistened in the dim light of the kitchen, her curves accentuated by the simple white dress she wore. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, but I detected a hint of sadness lurking beneath. "Where did you go?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.I shrugged, trying to brush it off. "Just lost in thought, that's all." But Soka wasn't buying it. She knew me too well. "Who is he?" she asked, her voice low and conspiratorial as she dried the wooden bowl with a towel. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I tried to play dumb. "Who?"Soka rolled her eyes, her thick braids swaying with the motion. "Don't give me that, Aurora. I know the look, and this is definitely it." She was ri

    Under the royal poinciana's vibrant orange blooms, he stood expectant, his hands clasped behind his back. As I entered the garden, his eyes locked onto mine, and he spoke my name, "Aurora," for the fifth time, his voice low and husky. I couldn't help but shoot him an annoyed glance, my patience wearing thin."I didn't mean to lie to you," he said, closing the distance between us, his stride confident and purposeful. I felt a flutter in my chest as he drew near, his shadow engulfing me and blocking out the warm sunlight."So, what exactly did you mean to do?" I snapped, my tone sharper than intended. Realising my rudeness, I collected myself, hanging my head in a subtle nod.He sighed, his shoulders sagging in defeat. "I do it all the time. Sometimes I just need a little escape from being...all this." He gestured to his royal attire. "That day, we talked t felt like we were friends. I haven't had that in years." His voice dropped, taking on a vulnerable tone. "I can disguise myself and

    Zao POV"Tradition is tradition. We do not know better than our fathers," Miniter Stan said calmly, stroking his silver beard in a attempt to appear unruffled. The others nodded eagerly, whispering among themselves in agreement. Kibi, however, shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting towards them with a hint of unease.I've seen men like him before - intelligent and innovative, but born with ideas too revolutionary for their time. These conversations are futile, I thought to myself. No matter how much I might desire to challenge their outdated beliefs and wipe the smug looks off their faces, I am bound by my position. As king, I possess veto power only in matters of war, and even then, the council's influence is not to be underestimated.The weight of tradition and the council's resistance to change hung in the air, a palpable force that stifled progress and silenced dissenting voices. I knew that to challenge them would be to risk everything, and yet, a part of me yearned to break fre

    Aurora POV"Aurora." His voice was unmistakable, that deep but soft timbre echoing through the corridor. My first instinct was to keep moving, to escape the sudden tension building in my chest. But, of course, I couldn't. I was just a palace maiden, bound by duty and protocol. So, I turned around, bowing my head in the usual royal courtesy. "Your Highness," my voice sounded shaky to my own ears.I saw his shadow move closer, his presence looming over me like a dark cloud. Within seconds, he was standing right in front of me, so close I could smell his scent - a subtle blend of sandalwood and citrus. My heart raced, my mind reeling with conflicting emotions.uuu"Aurora," he said again, his voice softer, more intimate. I bowed my head further, avoiding his gaze. "Please, Aurora, speak to me," he added, his tone suddenly timid."Yes, Your Highness, what would you like me to speak about?" I replied, trying to keep my voice neutral, my head still bowed. His presence was already flooding my

    Aurora Pov Princess Deze, resplendent in her red gown, glided towards the table, her eyes locked onto King Zao's imposing figure. Her boldness was tempered with respect, her composure unwavering as she approached him. "Your Majesty," she said, her voice like music, "I request the pleasure of my maiden, Aurora, joining us at the table." King Zao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he nodded graciously, his gaze flicking towards me. "Of course, Princess". He didn't show any sign of knowing me, he barely looked at me. I felt a flutter in my chest as I took my place at the far end of the table, trying to blend into the background. The King and Princess Deze sat at the head of the table, their conversation flowing like a gentle stream. The food arrived, a sumptuous feast of dishes from both the Southern and Northern Kingdoms. Steaming plates of jollof rice, fragrant with tomatoes and spices, sat alongside delicate bowls of egusi soup, its melon seeds glistening like tiny jewels. Suya sk

    -Past Time- Aurora POV The palace was abuzz with the Princess's daring fashion sense, a stark contrast to the modest attire of the kingdom's females. Her deep necklines, vibrant hues, and bold headpieces had already inspired some nobles to revamp their wardrobes. At her first lunch with the palace's female nobles, she wore a stunning, hugging dress with a train and deep V, captivating every female present - except Eni, the daughter of the King's top minister and potential king consort after Princess Deze marries King Zao. The scene unfolded like a delicate dance, with the Princess gracefully gliding into the grand hall, her dress shimmering in the light. The nobles parted, their eyes fixed on her, as she made her way to the table. I watched with bated breath, my hands trembling slightly as I adjusted the delicate silverware. The Princess's confidence was infectious, and soon, the room was filled with laughter and chatter, the nobles eager for her attention. Lady Eni, however, r
