I slowly follow him behind whilst everyone downstairs stares at me like I’m about to get a scolding.

He takes me to an office. Leonard probably established it for him so he’s have where to be coming to whilst in the warehouse. He sits behind the desk and folds his hands on the desk.

The first thing I noticed was how sleek everything looked—cold, almost. The walls were painted a stark white, and the furniture was all modern and angular, with sharp edges that matched the tone of the room. It was a far cry from the cozy, cluttered space he used to have when we were together.

The desk, positioned perfectly in the center of the room, was practically bare, save for a slim laptop and a neat stack of papers. It was all so… sterile. I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. There was no trace of joy here. This place was almost too polished, like it was trying to make a statement about who he is.

I walked further in, glancing around at the few pieces of art on the walls. They were

    I’m woken up by my phone ringing. I check the time and it’s literally 3AM in the morning. I sigh and check the caller ID. It’s Leonard, I pick. “Really? At this time!” I all but yell. “I told everyone to come over to my place. This discussion is very important. I’m at the warehouse and I need you to be present for this.” He says. “Couldn’t this wait till a later time?” I ask whilst yawning. “Nope. Just get here.” The phone disconnects. I sigh again and quickly do what I need to do in the bathroom. I throw on some random clothing and leave my place. It takes me a few minutes to get there because my place isn’t that far. I won’t lie though, driving at night is scary. I reach the warehouse and park. I notice two other cars parked outside. Leonard wasn’t joking about this rushed meeting. I head straight to the meeting room. Kane, Leonard and Isabel are the only ones here. “Where are the rest?” I ask even though it’s only Shannon I’m truly asking for. “She’s now for the rev

    It doesn’t take me long to realize what Michael just said. “This is bad Michael.” I say. “How?” He asks. “I know that now it’s easier for us to leave but if the rebels found out we’re free they’ll think we betrayed them and just brought them out to be locked up.” I say. “So what exactly are you suggesting we do?” “We need to find them and talk to them before Leonard gets his hands on them. We need to tell them how this is a trap and they have fallen right into it.” “Then we better get to moving.” He says. “Where are the others?” I ask. “They don’t live here so I’m not sure but it’s not too early for them to come over when they see what’s on the news but obviously Leonard would be the first to hear about it since his king. I’m sure he’s in his palace right now and not here because he would be notified and told that he’s needed.” Michael says. I nod. “How do you suggest we get to them?” I ask. “I don’t know but we need to leave this place now. It won’t be long before we’r

    Shannon stops reversing right beside a huge tree. “It’s time baby. You have to leave. We will be right behind you.” Shannon says. “When you get caught make sure you do it live so that the rebels will be sure of the location Shannon gave them. I won’t be far. I’ll be hiding so that when they come I’ll help them get you guys out and free.” I say. They both nod so I open the car door and leave. I immediately hide behind the tree. Shannon starts to drive insanely fast. She’s going off with so much speed that I know for a fact she’s going to end up hitting her tires with the stuff they sprawled out on the road. I sigh knowing they're all depending on me. I need to find a way to reach the mass group before they reach here and all get locked up. I look at my surroundings and see how all the guards are focused on the moving car. I use the opportunity to follow the side that everyone’s ignoring and start running through the bushes. I keep running ignoring the tree branches that cut and

    Once I get into the car I look up and notice it’s already getting dark. I take the driver's seat. I take off and the rest of us drive right behind me. The GPS on the car is showing us the location so I know exactly where we’re going. It doesn’t take us much time to start hearing police sirens. Luca told me he’d prefer to take another car so he gave me an earpiece to contact him and the others with. I grip the steering wheel, my eyes fixed on the convoy ahead. The blue and red lights of the police cars flash in the distance, it is a cruel reminder that my time is running out. My heart pounds in my chest, each beat resonating with the rumble of the engine beneath me. Everything we've planned, everything we've fought for, comes down to this moment. If I mess up it’s over. They are depending on me so I have to do my best. "Luca, are you in position?" I ask, my voice a low whisper through the earpiece. "We're ready, Aurelia," Luca's voice crackles back, steady despite the tension.

    We reach what I believe to be the safe house but I’m not sure because all I can see is sand. The rebels told me that it was just camouflage and there's actually a door there. They all proceeded to enter that door and I was left confused. I enter the door and it’s a staircase I first see. I descend the narrow staircase, my steps echoing in the tight space. The door to the safe house creaks as I push it open, revealing the hidden refuge beneath the earth. The air here is cool, carrying the scent of damp soil and something metallic—probably the steel beams that brace the ceiling. Luca insisted on that extra support according to Michael. I’m grateful for it. This place has to hold, no matter what happens above. The walls are lined with rough stone, cold to the touch, but sturdy. They’ve been here for centuries, long before our time, before this war. A single bulb dangles from the low ceiling, casting a weak, flickering light across the room. It’s enough to see by, but shadows lurk in t

    “Arrange a meeting with Leonard for me today.” I tell Sofia. It’s 8am in the morning and I barely could sleep. I felt like my head was getting pricked with thrones. I keep contemplating whether or not I should do what he requested.. I decided that fooling him into believing I agree will give me a chance to kill him. I’ll deal with Isabel after, I’m not scared of her. I don’t wish to kill her but if she tries any nonsense with me when she’s queen I will most definitely become her biggest nightmare. “Are you sure that’s a good idea-” “Just do it.” I say cutting her off. I had called her to come this morning so that I could tell her what I need her to do for me. I could call him but I fear that he might be able to track my phone and after our last call I’m not willing to risk it. If he calls I’ll pick but I’m not going to call first. I stand up and immediately regret it. I have a banging headache. I lay back down on my bed. “I’ll go get Michael.” Sofia says softly. “No he’s sick

    I’m presently entering my room when one of my members calls out my name. “Yeah?” I ask. “Aurelia, there's a group of guards on their way!” She says. Immediately she says that the dots in my head start to connect. I had been planning on running away yesterday which was the day I shot leonard but I decided to get everyone ready first… guess I was wrong to do that. It turns out that Leonard was smarter than I thought. He still managed to track my phone after our call the day before yesterday and I can see his men approaching us from a distance. It was a trap. He probably knew I would try and take him out for some time so he gave them an order before I even got to meet up with him yesterday. I’m sure that’s the reason why Kane happened to come to the warehouse immediately after I was down with what I did with Leonard.. he didn’t even look shocked, it was almost as if he expected it to happen. They're both useless fools. “Sound the alarms!” I say quickly and make my way to the ann

    We reach what I believe to be a duplex in the middle of the forest. For some reason it looks familiar to me but I can’t pinpoint how. “Do not move, do not scream. Only do as I tell you.” Christian leaves the car and comes to my side and opens the car door for me. “Very chivalry of you.” I roll my eyes. “Just get out of the car.” I reluctantly do and we both move into the house but Christian is walking right behind me. I’m busy thinking of ways to escape but honestly there is no point because I have no idea where I even am. But knowing the amount of people that care about me will be worried sick gives me a sense of hope that I’ll be found. This is practically the second time Emaine is kidnapping me. Wonderful, At Least I remember one. We reach the entrance door and he knocks. The door opens but the person I see has me shook. “Leonard?” I say, befuddled. “You’ve done your work Christian. You may leave.” He says. Christian nods and leaves. He makes sure to close the door be

    My eyes have been shut this whole time that when I open them I realize none of this makes sense but I don’t even care. I get off him and kiss him so hard I’m sure I left a bruise somewhere. I finally allow us to breathe. “I’m so sorry baby.” I whisper whilst hugging him. “Shh..” he says and rubs my back. I step away and he wipes my tears. “I know you have many questions.” He says whilst holding my waist. I nod with snot probably coming out of my nose. “Ask.” He says. He’s trying to distract me. “How are you here.. the letter! Your silence on the phone? London?” I speak without thinking . “Michale called yesterday. He told me he didn’t want to tell me about your wedding but I told him we already met and you told me about it. He then told me it’s happening today but I still didn’t want to bother. I had concluded that I’d kill myslef the day you get married. So I was prepared until he told me the kind of danger you might be in and I immediately got on the plane. The only

    “I’m so sorry Leo.” I say but he ignores me and I can see his heart shattering. I know how much he loved his sister even though he loved to pretend otherwise. I then look at Luca who seems to be staring at Isabel like he’s in a trance. He’s not even crying. There’s not even tears. He’s just staring at her. I sit flat on the floor between the two dead bodies whilst the war outside is still happening so it’s not like I can go anywhere. Elena suddenly calls my name but I’m too shocked to look at her. She shows up in front of me and hands me the same envelope that mom gave her. I take it from her and open it. I look down first because I want to see who it’s from, this is not the time. I see the name Kane there and I immediately start to get the most painful headache ever. I close my eyes and I could swear I’m in a trance where all I’m seeing are memories. They're all coming back. Rune was my stepbrother. Leonard killed him. I loved Kane alot and I also loved Rune a lot. Emaine

    I sigh when I realize Michael and I have walked past half of the aisle and look up. I finally have eye contact with Leonard and the way he looks at me makes me want to drop my gaze back down. He looks amazing in his black suit. His hair is slicked back as well and he’s carved his beard. He’s staring at me like I’m the best thing he’s ever seen and that makes me smile. We finally reach the small stairs and Michael untangles his hand from mine. I see him glare at Leonard before he lets me go and I walk up the stairs. I stand right in front of Leonard. He's on the right side whilst I’m on the left. The priest is in the middle. My girls are behind me and vice versa with Leonard’s men. I so badly want to ask Shannon where Emaine is but I don’t think it’s appropriate. I hear some whispers whilst I’m up here but I can’t hear what their saying. Everyone sits down and I finally hear someone say that it’s not right for my mom to be here but the king's mother isn't. I snort and Leonard rai

    One week later I’ve been thinking about Kane and I’s conversation all day and my heart feels like it's exploding every time. I don’t know whether it’s the memories of my past that have been coming back lately but they are affecting the way I feel about this entire situation. Leonard decided to rush our wedding because he felt like something bad would happen in between. Apparently the rebels are angry at me for betraying them. they’ve started to riot again. I didn’t betray them but it sure as hell looks like I am now that I’m getting married to one of the revolution's enemies. They must be feeling the same way Michael feels. I would definitely try to find who is commanding them now that me, Michael and Luca are no longer there just so that I could talk to them and try to find a reasonable understanding or come to an agreement between one another to stop the violence and just let the wicked leaders lead. The people will handle it during the elections when they are choosing their own l

    I lean back in the seat, tracing the edge of the invitation card in my lap. It’s still strange, seeing my name next to Leonard’s in elegant, golden script. I went to see them today, to invite Michael, Elena, Shannon, and the others to the wedding. A part of me hoped they’d all be there, that maybe they’d want to share this with me. But every single one of them declined. Their rejections feel like tiny, sharp pinpricks, pressing deeper the more I think about it. As we slow at a red light, I glance out the window, watching people hurry across the street, faces blending into each other. Then I freeze. In the car beside me, a familiar face leans against the window, lost in thought—Kane. My heart skips. Without thinking, I lean forward and tap the driver’s shoulder. “Please, pull over. Right here.” He raises his eyebrows at me through the rearview mirror but nods, steering us to the curb. I roll down my window, sticking my hand out to catch Kane’s attention. “Kane!” I call softly, hop

    Everyone keeps congratulating me but for some reason I don’t even feel like this is real. Leonard told me he doesn’t want to waste much time on our wedding and I agreed so we’re getting married in a week. I decided to go to kanes place to tell Michael and the others. For some reason I can’t get Kane out of my mind….ever since he helped me that day by getting me away from that weird ass man in the library stuck with me and I haven't been able to thank him. I didn’t even thank him for trying to get to me the time that Leonard had kidnapped me. Leonard invited his hateful relatives for our engagement. Apparently the tradition is that they have to all come and dine with me, I refused to do so.. they came regardless but I wasn’t there to see them. Leonard had understood that I needed to leave so he let me go to kanes place which is where I’m heading now. He insisted that I take some of his guards so I did. I don’t know how Shannon, Michael, Elena, Luca and even Kane will take this news…

    Hearing that Aurelia was in love with Leonard was one thing but seeing it in her eyes did something to me. The moment we got home I didn’t speak to anyone no matter how much they tried to get me to speak. There’s no use for me to stay in Rome if the reason I’m here is clearly gone… I don’t want to give up but as long as she doesn’t have her memory back I have to leave. I decided to write her a letter, I hope that when she gets to read this her memory will be back. I’m presently packing. I'm going back to London. I don’t plan on getting talked out of this so I’m planning on going when everyone’s asleep besides Shannon, I'm going to give her the letter personally because I know she’ll deliver my message. I step out of my room silently and knock on her door a few times. She opens it whilst brushing her eyes with her hands. She looks like she hasn’t been sleeping… but she does look very tired. “Kane?” she asks, voice hushed. "What are you doing here? And...with a suitcase?" I st

    I sit in my room, the dim light casting shadows on the walls. My heart still races from the commotion downstairs. I expected my mother, Shannon, to leave with the rest of them, but she didn’t. She’s here. I hear her soft footsteps approaching before there’s a light knock on the door. “Aurelia, may I come in?” she asks, her voice gentle but firm, like always. “Yeah,” I whisper, unsure of what to expect. My fingers fidget in my lap as she steps in and closes the door behind her. She sits beside me on the bed, the mattress dipping slightly under her weight. There’s a brief silence as she studies me, her eyes soft but observant, the way a mother’s should be. I look away, my throat tight, already feeling the emotions bubbling up. I know what this is about. “I didn’t leave with the others because I needed to talk to you,” Shannon says, her voice soft but serious. She reaches out, taking my hand. Her touch is warm, familiar, and it instantly begins to break down the walls I’ve tried to

    I sit on the edge of the couch, my eyes scanning the room. Kane leans against the wall, arms crossed, his face unreadable. Shannon and Luca sit across from each other, both looking deep in thought. Elena is quiet, but I can feel her eyes on me, waiting. Emaine sits off to the side, her posture stiff, clearly uncomfortable. I clear my throat, trying to break the silence. "The revolution has been regrouping. We don’t know who their new leader is, but I have reason to believe they’re planning to take action soon." Kane uncrosses his arms, his lips curling into a grim smirk. “Let them. If their first plan is to kill Leonard, I’d be more than happy to let them.” Before I can respond, Shannon jumps in. "That’s not a good idea, Kane. Especially if Aurelia isn’t leading them anymore. They see her as a traitor. If they try to kill Leonard, they’ll go after her too." Her words hang in the air, and I can feel the tension rising. Luca’s phone suddenly rings, cutting through the weight of the
