CRYTSAL'S POV"Crystal, here's your new personal bodyguard, Martin," Xavier announced as he gestured towards a tall man clad in silver armour. His chestnut hair laced with some white strands framed his oblong face. There was a sparkle in his eyes as he extended his hand."Hello, my lady, It's a pleasure to serve and protect you. I swear on my life to protect you." He declared stoutly.He didn't look bad, but hell, he was taller than Xavier. This was the first time I would see anyone taller than Xavier.I swallowed and nodded with a smile as I reached out to take his hand gingerly."The pleasure is mine, Martin. Welcome on board." I said.He returned my smile with a wide grin plastered on his face as his eyes darted over my face curiously as if I were an intriguing subject he couldn't wait to delve into.His hand stayed a bit before he let go.Xavier shot him a warning look and then cleared his throat loudly. "So he's starting today. Is that fine by you?" Xavier asked me.I mean, I'm

CRYTSAL'S POV I don't believe in treating servants with disrespect or contempt because I was once in their shoes, so I know what it felt like.I perfectly understood his reaction. He returned a rather awkward smile."I-I sincerely appreciate your gestures, my lady. Thank you for your empathy towards my plight, but this is my job, and I'm more than willing to go all out for you. So, please do not hesitate to order me around even for the littlest things. I am at your service." He tilted his head.I cleared my throat."Please, Martin, raise your head," I said gently.He slowly lifted his head to meet my face.I shot him a tight-lipped smile.This was one of the sweetest gestures I have ever received from a servant! Maybe it was because I wasn't used to having a bodyguard yet. This is normal, Crystal. Quit making a big deal out of this and let the poor guy do his damn job! I admonished myself mentally.I sucked in several deep breaths.It wasn't my fault. This was new to me. All my life

CRYSTAL'S POV "You can just wait here, Martin. I will need some privacy with my best friend." I announced when we reached the maid's quarters. Concern marred at his brows."Are you sure, Crystal? I can't let you out of my sight for security reasons. I'm sorry, I'm just doing my job." He offered me an apologetic smile.I heaved out a deep sigh.He was right. I couldn't stop him from doing his job."Okay, how about you stand at a safe distance where you can still see me," I suggested.He gave it a thought and nodded."I think that is better. But not too far off, please. Be rest assured. My only concern is your protection." He said, offering me an entreating smile.I pulled a face, and then my lips thinned into a smile."Alright," I nodded, "I get that you're just doing your job."He tilted his head. "Thank you for understanding."I waved him off playfully. "Of course, I do more than you think, Martin."His eyes squinted in curiosity. "More than I think? May I ask what you mean by tha

MARTIN'S POVShe intrigued me. She was no ordinary person. I didn't see any of these coming at all; I had been taken by surprise. A spy usually should know most of the details about their targets in advance; so much digging would have been done beforehand. But Alicia had insisted that she would reveal them in bits as she pleases. For whatever reason, best known to her, she decided that. It didn't make any sense to me, though.Why would she hoard these beautiful pieces of information that seemed to embarrass Crystal? Her being a slave before was not sad or miserable to me, although it was a sorry sight to behold. I perfectly understood that. It wasn't like I didn't feel pity for her, I sincerely did. In fact, I was taken aback by her revelation. Which made me wonder how she was able to climb her way to the highest peak in the royal palace. How did a mere slave and most likely an omega do that? She was at the lowest of ranks, and yet somehow, she ended up with an alpha. Not just any Alp

MARTIN'S POV I woke with a loud groan to my bedside, alarm blaring. I jammed it shut and yawned."Fuck! I don't remember when last I woke up this early!" I muttered under my breath as I peered at the alarm clock. The time read 5:55am.Shit! My report time was 6am! And now I was left with just five minutes to get ready. Just great! How do I pull this off when I'm not a magician?I stretched and flexed my muscles.But damn it! Perhaps I would have woken up earlier if I didn't stay up all night thinking about her. I heaved out a deep sigh.Crystal Thorne...what an intriguing young lady...I wish to know more about her even though deep down I knew that it was beyond my work boundaries. Alicia had insisted that she would be the one to reveal the necessary information when that time came. But I was way impatient! I was dying to unravel this intriguing subject already! And besides, if I became too persistent, Alicia would become suspicious of me. I didn't want to rouse her suspicions th

MARTIN'S POV"I'm sorry once again, Crystal," I said again when we were outside alone and after we had jogged around the open fields of the royal palace.She shook her head frantically."It alright, Martin. It is fine. I understand that you're still trying to find your feet," she paused as she shot me a rueful smile."You know, I used to be like you when I first started my job. I was confused and scared. I wasn't sure about what to do. I was so clueless like a fawn parted from its mother."I smiled warmly at her as I listened to her.I couldn't help but admire her beauty. She was indeed breathtaking. On top of that, she was a strong young lady who had survived a lot. I owe her some respect for that!"Thank you for understanding, Crystal," I said gently, shooting her a wide grin.She was not only empathetic to my plight, she was gentle and nice towards me.I wish to know more about her, and it had been eating deep at me. The curiosity to know what lies in the deepest recess of her he

MARTIN'S POV Days passed by like a blur and then weeks and before I realised what was happening, two months had gone by. And in all of those times, a day didn't pass without my mind being preoccupied by the thoughts of Crystal Thorne, the lady whom I served under. The lady I had sworn to protect with my life. And you know what? I would gladly lay down my life for her. No one deserved that, but Crystal Thorne! Where on earth has she been all these while?! If only I had been a little earlier, we could have ended up together. Hopefully..... Well, at least, she wouldn't have had the opportunity of even crossing paths with Alpha Xavier Fernández. If only I had come into her life earlier. Maybe she didn't have to suffer. We could have run off somewhere and started a new life as a couple who shared a somewhat similar past. But was it too late?Maybe it wasn't too late after all.... how else could the both of us have met anyway?! Crystal Thorne had been locked up within the four walls of t

MARTIN'S POV I sucked in a deep breath as I swallowed.She arched her brows diametrically at me as she peered up at me, eyeing me closely.I cleared my throat."What brings you to this crappy side of the royal palace. It was rare seeing you here at this hour. This place doesn't suit your fancy, my lady." I said, with a sly smile curling up at the corner of my lips with an intent to taut her.She rolled her eyes as she moaned in exasperation."Oh for fuck's sake, Xavier drop the stupid formalities and step aside!" My eyes widened slightly as curiosity creased my brows.Don't tell me she was planning to step inside my shithole of a room!"Um...what on earth are you planning to do, Alicia?" I dipped lower as I whispered fiercely, looking both ways to ensure that no one was within earshot and in sight.She waved me off and pushed past me as she entered my tiny room. But the good part was that she didn't have to duck her head like me.I puffed out a deep sigh of resignation. There was

LEO'S POVOh shit! This wasn't good! Crystal was going to be kidnapped. What if I was already too late. I didn't exactly hear everything that they said. But I knew something was off, and I was already too late by the time I got to Xavier's chambers. I came just in time to see two men clad in black clothes and a mask covering their faces, carrying Crystal after drugging her. They put her in a horse-drawn carriage.I tried to follow the carriage as discreetly as I could until they stopped at a cavern beneath a high mountain.Damn it, but even if I wanted to rescue her , I was outnumbered.There was no way I could make it at this rare. I would just end up getting myself killed.Then what do I do at this rate? This was a matter of life and death. Crystal was in dire danger. My mother and crazy girlfriend had completely gone bonkers! I needed to get Crystal out of there as fast as possible before things got out of hand.I had no idea what exactly the two women wanted to do to Crystal. H

CRYSTAL'S POV It's has been a lonely evening....a lonely day, in fact. Xavier was hardly around. He had been very busy with having ceaseless meetings with his uncle, and tonight, he had mentioned earlier that he won't be available until later in the night or early in the morning so I shouldn't wait up for him.I puffed out a deep sigh. He had been very busy these past few weeks. I heard the coronation was drawing to a close. No wonder the discreet meetings with his uncle have risen. He had been working so hard with little time to rest. I hoped he was doing okay? I had insisted earlier that he took today's off, but he wouldn't listen.I slid out of bed and headed to the balcony for the view and to get some fresh air. Maybe that would help me relax and sleep better. Lately, I've been finding it somewhat hard to fall asleep easier.I also wonder if Martin was doing alright ever since he went exiled. At any rate, it was way better than remaining here. Alicia would have made life a livi

ALICIA'S POV Shit! Shit! Shit! As if things couldn't get any worse than it already was!Three days had passed, and I didn't hear a single word from Martin anymore. I had instructed Lucas to check on him in his quarters, but he was nowhere to be found. He didn't even report to work the following morning. So I had Lucas go to his bakcksmith shop discreetly to find out if he was there. But he wasn't....infact, until now we had no idea where he would have run off to.It's been a week and not a single word. What could have happened? If he had exposed my plans to Crystal or Xavier, I would have known by now. But something was strange. What did Martin do? He probably ran off somewhere. He was a spy, after all. It was easier for him to adapt.But damn it! I didn't expect my plans to be ruined. I invested so much into this, and yet I have nothing to show for it! What the hell was happening?! Did Crystal do or say to him? What really went down? I wouldn't be able to know when she tells me

CRYSTAL'S POVI was such a fool! How come I didn't realise that Alicia had been playing a trick on me all these while?! Xavier and Emily, my best friend, warned me, and yet I didn't listen because I wanted to give Alicia the benefit of the doubt for once. I had hoped that something good was going to come out of our friendship after she supposedly rescued me that day. Rescued? But come to think of it though...now that Martin had exposed the truth, what if Emily had been right that the whole idea about Alicia randomly showing up that day and most especially in the nick of time to save me, sounded so thought out and planned. What if Alicia also had a hand in that as well? She had insisted that Xavier get me a new bodyguard because she had been plotting to bring one here herself, which was Martin. How come I didn't see that coming?! I was so blinded to the fact that Alicia was turning a new leaf and wanted the best for me. What a fool I had been! Now, thanks to the moon goddess for swa

MARTIN'S POV A video?! Why does this sound so familiar. "What?! What did Leo do to you if you don't mind my asking? Did he-""No!" She blurted out before I could finish. I didn't want to complete that statement in the first place, silently hoping it wasn't true ."No, he didn't! I'm glad he didn't." She said shakily, and I couldn't help but feel the pain seared through my chest, watching how hurt she looked.She must have been through a lot. I wondered what really went down that day...Thankfully, Leo didn't rape her as I thought. She paused and sucked in several deep breaths before she continued:"He tried to have sex with me but I'm glad it didn't go through....so a video was made and I was threatened that the video would go public if I didn't do as I was told. I had no choice. Before I could gather my thoughts together, I ran out. I was mortified, broken, and scared to death.

MARTIN'S POV I resumed work the following day as usual, but this time, it was different. The emotions writhing inside of me were relentless. What do I do? I was restless, and I couldn't even concentrate on my job.I think the moment of truth was finally here, and for the first time, I was going to follow my heart to hell with the consequences. I would rather voice out the truth that will set me free than bottling up all these lies and guilt nibbling at me steadily.As usual, we met for her morning run, and when we slowed down for a break, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to tell her the truth. At this rate, what was even the point of hiding the truth?! It was utterly useless because I quit! I wouldn't stand by, fold my hands, and watch as an innocent, young lady's life was torn apart, and I had a hand in her destruction. No! I wouldn't be able to live with myself after that. I would blame myself for as long as i lived! So instead, why didn't I try to make things right?G
