"I didn't do it; I'm innocent!" I heard the fat maid say, her voice urgent and desperate, as they dragged her away from the hall. It seemed reality had just dawned on her.

As for the maids in the hall, they never stopped calling her names. In that instant, I realised I wasn't the only one happy about the fact that she was in trouble.

As I watched her being dragged away by two guards, I couldn't help but smile, savouring the satisfaction of my accomplishment.

But then I knew I had just started. "This is just the beginning," I muttered beneath my breath.

Immediately, I pulled my gaze from her and fixed it on Akira, who was still looking hurt and greatly disappointed, and I made my way towards her.

"Oh Akira," I called as soon as I was close enough, "I'm so sorry about what just happened." Shaking my head as I spoke.

My voice was tinged with sadness, and worry was etched on my face. It was a facade of compassion I had worn to mask my hatred for her.

But as soon as the words left my

    Lena"Yesterday when I saw her walking towards Akira's chamber, I followed her and eavesdropped on their conversation," I said, my voice full of pride and confidence.As soon as I began to speak, Royce folded his hands in front of him, his eyes glinting with anticipation as he waited for the full details.Seeing the expectation glinting in his eyes, I shrugged my shoulders, because that was basically it. "Well, an idea popped up in my head after I heard their conversation and boom!" I added.Although I had been thinking about how to set her up, I had never thought about a way to get it done as soon as possible.In fact, I never thought I was going to do it anytime soon. Seeing how they seemed to trust her, I had thought it would be difficult to get her entangled in my web, I never thought it would be so easy to get her off my path for good."After listening to their conversations yesterday, it dawned on me that Akira had just created a perfect opportunity for me." I swiftly added, my

    LenaAs I stared at Asher's face, I could see the worry etched on his face, the uncertainties that gleamed in his eyes, causing me to silently scoff at him.Deep within me, I knew he was worried about Xenra, but I didn't care. I didn't even pay attention to the look on his face, since I knew she was doomed for good, and Asher wouldn't be able to do anything about it, even if he wanted to.Even though he was sad, I decided to grab the opportunity, and remind him of how grave her crime was."I never thought Xenra was that kind of person," I began to speak, my face a mask of disappointment as I peered out the window, where his gaze was fixed."I'm sure the reason why that girl had the nerve to steal from your sister is because you're too lenient with her, all because she saved your life," I pointed out, even as I attempted to poison his mind against her."You've given her so much importance, which she has taken for granted; now look at the result of your kindness towards her." I said, ge

    Asher"What would be her judgement?" Akira's words broke into the thoughts that had kept me busy."I want the judgement to be as soon as possible. I don't want it to last for long. Thinking about it is making me really upset." She said, her voice tight and determined.As I stared at my little sister, I could see how hurt she was, and I knew she just wanted to close every chapter about Xenra so that she could move on from the hurt she was feeling."Exactly what I was telling your brother before you came in," Lena swiftly chimed, her voice firm and steady."There's no need to pet the situation; the judgement should be as soon as possible," she said.But then, how could I get myself to pronounce a judgement on her? The thought of it alone filled me with a great sense of uneasiness, and I couldn't get myself to do it.As soon as the words left her lips, Akira turned towards her, the furrow on her face etching deeper."I wasn't talking to you; I was talking to my brother," she said, her wo

    Asher"Excuse me, Alpha, I need to rest my head," Lena told me as soon as the words left my lips, while I nodded my head in response. I wasn't in the mood to say anything to her. In that instant, she bowed her head and walked away, while Royce bowed his head and swiftly excused himself.As soon as the door closed behind them, I turned towards Akira, and I saw the sadness that had masked her face and the sorrow that had settled in her eyes.I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was pondering the implications of my words and the gravity of their impact.The fact that Xenra was going to remain in the dungeon for close to a month had really shaken her initial resolve.I knew she was sad because of her affection for Xenra. I knew she really didn't want Xenra to go through such torment of the dark, but she knew she had no choice."Are you okay?" I asked her, my voice calm and concerned, while she nodded her head in response, even though her eyes were screaming, "I'm not okay!"Then I de

    XenraMy heart was heavy as I seethed in the corner of the room I was thrown into, my jaw tightly clenched in a fuming rage.Although I wasn't locked up in the dark dungeon as I had expected, which had left me confused, I was too engrossed with the anger swirling inside of me, to pay attention to it.Deep within me, I was certain; I didn't need anyone to tell me it was either Royce or Lena who had framed me up. The look I had seen on their faces confirmed it."It couldn't be any other person but one of them." I pondered aloud.I knew a mere maid couldn't have done it so fluidly; even though they all hated me, I knew only someone of high rank could do such a thing.Everything was carefully plotted and executed, and it almost seemed as though Akira had a hand in it herself, but then I knew she wasn't that kind of person.As my thoughts lingered, the look I had seen on Lena's face and the small smile I saw on Royce's face kept replaying before me, further infuriating me."But why?

    XenraAsher's words dropped into my heart and left me shocked, as I never expected him to say that, not to mention how determined he was.But then, I knew I shouldn't dwell on that. He had just posed a tough question to me, and even if I had my suspicions, I knew I had to be careful.I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. The words felt stuck in my throat, and I couldn't help but swallow hard.I opened my mouth to go again, and even though something within just wanted to scream their names, I just couldn't get myself to tell him that.I mean, how could I tell him that the prime suspects were his lovely mate, Lena, and his loyal beta, Royce?I knew he wouldn't even believe me, not to mention that the people would think I was doing everything possible to be his mistress since I saved his life. I knew I shouldn't do that; I didn't want to complicate the issue.Meanwhile, Asher's gaze remained unyielding as he stared at me, waiting for my response. His expression demanded an an

    XenraThe anger in Asher's face was intense as he stared at me, and as if that wasn't enough, he continued,"I'll see to it that justice is done accordingly." His voice was tight and rough as he spoke, gesturing with his hands.His expression resigned as he tried to mask the hurt he was feeling, but I knew I had hurt his pride and he was only trying to keep his composure even though he wasn't in any way cool.After about a three-second pause, he continued, "I think I believe everybody's words. I shouldn't have bothered trying to look for a way to save you." His voice was calm but tight."I think it's clear to me now that you really stole the heirloom," he continued. "I think because of what happened between us, you feel entitled; you feel you now have the right to speak to me the way you want, right?" He asked, his brows raised quizzically as he stared at me.Although I knew he wasn't expecting an answer from me, he only wanted me to see how much I had crossed the line.Asher pulled h

    XenraA great sense of sadness settled in my heart as they led me out of the prison. I couldn't stop wondering how I'd cope being with a whole lot of people.Deep within me, I knew if I was taken to the slave's prison, it'd be difficult for me to regain my powers, since I wouldn't be able to give in fully to it.I didn't need anyone to tell me that I wouldn't be able to exercise my spirit as much as I should and might lose it in the process.As I pondered my thoughts, the sight of Akira walking towards us snapped me back to the present and sprang hope within me.But as she drew closer, she took the path by her left, and I realised she wasn't coming to see me, but then I wasn't going to allow that opportunity to pass me by."Lady Akira," I swiftly called out to her, my voice rushed and urgent, which halted her in her tracks immediately.In that instant, I rushed towards her, but was held back by the guards even before I got closer to her."What are you doing?

    LenaAs I pondered what Royce had just told me, something dropped in my mind, snapping me off the thoughts that had kept me busy.My head whipped towards him, and in that instant, I asked, "Did you just say 'hidden dungeon?'" My voice was rushed and urgent."Is that nowhere that fat maid?" My brows slightly furrowed as I stared at him."Yes, my lady, that's where she is." Royce firmly replied. Hearing his response made me snort, and I began to slice the beef on my plate again.As I did so, I continued, "You can just tell the men to start experimenting with her by pouring some of the content in her body. After all, she's useless now to everyone." The words had barely left my lips when I continued savouring the beef again, even as I relished the satisfaction of what I had just said.A light chuckle broke out of Royce's lips instead as soon as he heard my words, the sound of which belied the hesitation in his heart."As long as I like the fact that we think alike, my lady, remember when

    LenaWithout saying another word, Akira turned and walked away. In that instant, I turned towards Asher and said to him, "I'm really sorry if I said something wrong," My voice wrapped in feigned remorse. "I didn't mean to offend anyone."Only then did Asher pull his gaze away from Akira's retreating figure and fix it on me. "You should learn to keep your mouth shut," he said, his voice heavy, his words tumbling out in a rush."It's not every time that your opinion is needed." He added, his voice echoing the annoyance that was deeply settled in his heart.As soon as the words left his lips, he stood up and left. His steps were heavy with determination as they carried him back towards his room.In that instant, my lips spread into a broad smile, and I almost couldn't stop myself from chuckling in excitement.Deep within me, I was excited that they had both fallen for my plan.As soon as they disappeared out of my sight, I began humming my clan's song of victory again and picked up my t

    LenaI could see the curiosity glinting in Asher and Akira's eyes as we waited patiently for Asher to read the letter.As soon as Asher opened the letter, a slight furrow creased his forehead, followed by a momentary silence, making me even more curious about what he had read."What does it say?" I asked, my words laced with urgency, but Akira didn't say a word as she waited patiently for Asher to read the content aloud.After about three more seconds, Asher began to read."This is a request to you, Alpha Asher, and to your sister, Lady Akira.Having been found as a single and most eligible lady in our time, I request a meeting between Lady Akira and my son Jefferson to discuss a marriage between our families.If it would please you, I request that Lady Akira pay us a visit to get acquainted with my son, Jefferson.Signed: Alpha Scott."As soon as Asher finished reading, he folded the letter calmly, his gaze fixed on what he was doing, but the expression on his face betrayed no emotio

    AsherOne week later.Despite how hard I had tried to shove the thought of Xenra being locked up in the dungeon off my mind, I just couldn't successfully do that.For the past week, I had been persistently plagued by the thought of her, even though I couldn't understand why I was so concerned about her.The thought of her and her predicament kept lurking around me, haunting me like a ghost in the dark, making it almost impossible for me to concentrate on anything else.Even though I wanted to justify my actions since she was rude to me, I still felt my heart pierced.Even though I had only wanted to help her. I had gone to the prison to talk to her and see how I could help her, but she was so rude to me, making me look like a fool, making me wonder why I even wanted to help her in the first place, since she didn't need my help.I felt insulted as she threw my words to the ground like something worthless, and that was when I decided to teach her a lesson.I wanted her to show some remo

    LenaAs I stared at Xenra, I saw her lips curl into a determined smirk, but the anger and hatred in her eyes were unmistakable.As soon as I saw the look on her face, I scoffed, accompanied by a light chuckle, even as understanding dawned on me.In that instant, I realised she only wanted to rile me up, and I wasn't going to listen to what she had to say or give her the satisfaction she craved.I folded my hands in front of me and heaved a sigh. "There's no need to listen to a bluffing, worthless, lowly maid like you," I said, my lips curled up in satisfaction."I know what you're trying to do, but it's not going to work," I slammed my words at her, my voice bearing the weight of my resolve."Just in case it hasn't dawned on you, you're a loser, and I doubt you'd be leaving here anytime soon!" A chuckle broke out of my lips as soon as the words left my lips, the sound of which bore the amusement and satisfaction that were deeply seated in my heart."You might not know this, but let me

    LenaAs I watched her being pulled by the guards, I couldn't help the feeling of contentment that swirled within me.But then, I knew I had to maintain my charade and add more fuel to the flames.In that instant, my head whipped towards Asher. "Can you imagine? She's so full of pride and arrogance." I said, my words heavy with a feigned anger.But the words had barely left my lips when Asher turned and walked away, and in that instant, Akira followed him, her maids walking after her.Being all alone, I couldn't stop the smile that curled my lips. I was glad the Alpha had locked her up in the deepest dungeon, which was a good sign for me.It meant that he had totally severed every connection or whatever feelings he might have for her.Deep within me, I was certain she was off my path for good, and the next thing I had to do was to proceed and wait for the best moment to strike."Enjoy all you can now," I muttered under my breath as I watched Asher march towards the palace, "because you
