NORANo, I don't agree with that!" staring at Gavner as he gave me reasons why I shouldn't let anyone trample over me. I am quite surprised because I haven't seen this side of him before.But he didn't understand my point... there was never a time when I didn't want to retaliate, but I had to hold myself back from doing so.I knew too well that I should not be bothered by the situation I put Rodriguez in, but I had no choice because I defended myself from his callous attitude.I just wondered, What gave him the right to think he could get me... on his bed?That was crazy!The fact that he still makes me feel like a nobody in the castle still sickens me to my guts.Taking a deep breath, I said, "Gavner, I understand exactly what you are trying to tell me, but..." He cut me off again several times I lost count of.He shook his head continuously as he slightly pushed me against the headboard, helping me relax my back.No, Nora, you do not understand," he says calmly as he sits beside me o
THIRD PERSON POVQueen Naida paces around her chambers, her mind and soul occupied with different feelings that she can't differentiate.She was happy that Horace had finally regained consciousness after all the months of lying lifeless on the hospital bed, but she was still worried.She was extremely scared and heartbroken.The way Horace spoke to her at the hospital brought back incidents that happened years ago to her memory.She shook her head as she heard a knock on the door. "Come in quickly," she ordered.The door creaked as it was pushed open, and a maiden walked in with a cup of coffee in her hands. Quickly she walked up to Queen Naida and offered her the tea, "Your tea, my queen." the maiden as she stood back."You can leave," Queen Naida ordered, waving her hand toward the door.As soon as the door was shut, she took a deep breath... sure that the maiden had left, she picked up the cup of coffee and gulped down the entire contents in the cup.Rubbing her palms over her face
NORAWhen Gavner told me that Horace had finally regained consciousness, I couldn't believe it.My jaw dropped as I stared at him.After waiting for so long, he finally woke up."I need to go and see him," I said to Gavner as I pushed the duvet away from me and stepped down from the bed.Gavner shook his head as he stretched his hand, trying to stop me, but I was going to consider anything he was going to say to me.The fact that I even forgot that Gavner was now my mate actually made me sick to the stomach... I didn't even get a chance to think about how he felt when I jumped down from that bed.Walking straight to the wardrobe, I pulled the handle open as I accessed the clothes neatly lined up on the hangers. Without wasting any more time, I quickly dragged out a short gown and put it on."It is necessary for you to go and see him," Gavner asked as he walked up to me, helping me zip up my dress.Trailing his fingers on my back as he gripped my waist slightly. Slowly, I turned around,
Candra was just analyzing how her day would go when she got a message that Horace demanded her presence at the hospital.Baffled, she gets to her feet as she mistakenly pushes the glass of wine to the floor.'Why would he send for me?' Candra asked herself as her heart began to thud fast in her chest.All she knew was that Horace was supposed to be dead... he wasn't supposed to even survive the accident, so how was he awake?How was he demanding her presence? Why was he there?Realizing how she was stuck on three men, including Marcel, whom she has been sneaking away from. Never in her life had she sneaked around in the castle, but now she is not just sneaking around because of one, but three.Knowing that she wasn't on Marcel's side again ever since Rodriguez asked her to move in with him. Marcel was furious, but she made sure he never got the chance to run into her in any way."Goddammit!" Candra screamed as she pushed everything on the vanity table to the floor.'Does he know about
NORAGrasping my shoulders, Gavner held me tight as he leaped into Doctor Charlie's office. I couldn't withstand the pain of what had happened... Not only did Horace push me away, he even tried to strangle me.All my life, I could swear that nothing like that had ever happened to me. I know I've been hurt many times, but at this level, I felt a piercing pain in my chest.A pain that couldn't be subsidedDid he push me away because we quarreled before he left?There were a lot of questions running through my mind, and I wasn't getting a straight answer.I was sick and tired of it. Feeling Gavner's breath on my neck made me wonder if he was aware of what Horace would do to me.Leaning closer to me from behind, she said, "You have to calm down and stop worrying too much... it's not good for your condition." He whispered into my ears as he dragged out a chair for me to sit on.As much as Gavner was right, how did he expect me not to think too much after what just happened?Horace clearly p
THIRD PERSON POVSitting in front of the steering wheel as Candra drove from the hospital to the castle with Horace sitting beside her.Her head is conflicted, as she has no idea what will go wrong the moment he gets to the castle.Rodriguez has no idea that Horace has regained consciousness, nor does she... if only Gavner had not called for her, she wouldn't be aware as well.She stared straight at the road while she drove, feeling every thud of her heartbeat in her head as she tried to maintain composure.'What do I do now?' Candra asked herself as she reduced her speed, hoping that it would take longer before she got home.She thought she'd be happy that Horace remembered her and not Nora, but it turned out to be the opposite because she was the one who plotted his almost-death accident.Imagining what would become of her the moment Horace realized that she was the one responsible for his predicament made her choke."Are you okay?" Candra tilted her head the moment she heard Horace
NORA"I haven't been seeing you lately... what's going on?" I asked Lilith as we strolled out of the castle gates.It had been a while since I saw her last, but I didn't bother because I knew too well that she had things going on in her life that she needed to take care of just like me.One thing I noticed was that she became more energetic than before. She told me she was busy cultivating, but I don't think cultivation did that.Biting on her lower lip as she felt a lump in her throat, she said, "Ambrose, he is like a father to me. He transferred all his powers to me because of what might happen in the future," she said calmly.Though she was calm, I knew she wasn't happy. It must have been something she didn't want but had no choice because eventually, it was still going to take place."Oh my!" A consoling sound left my lips as she nodded her head.I had no idea who Ambrose was because I had never met him, but I hoped he was fine wherever he was."How is he now?" I asked, feeling con
NORAMaking it a responsibility, myself and Gavner decided on our hands to make sure we always visited Evelyn and Nickolas.Even though I had no idea that Gavner was more dedicated than me, he always made sure Nickolas was doing fine and that Evelyn had everything she wanted.I was happy to see that Evelyn took Nickolas like her own child, and it just made me wonder if having Nickolas was her fate and that was why he was brought to her.Was the moon goddess aware that she was going to be an amazing mother to the little child? I found peace in my heart when I realized how loving she was to him.During our drive to see Nickolas, Gavner kept on humming beautiful sounds that made me feel at ease.Even though we discussed nothing much, he always knew how to make me feel good.Pulling my hand out of my jacket, I placed it on his arm, making him tilt his head, stare at me, and smile lovingly. It made my heart throb.I knew he was worried about Horace going back to the castle, but there was no
