Simon's eyes are shocked to the fullest.

“Whoa! Rowman! Inc-c-credible!”

“I know, right?” Rowan scratches his head with a nervous giggle.

“Your missy…” Simon squinted his eyes at me. “May I know your name?”

“I'm Naya. Naya Yorke.” I utter body.

Elsie, you'll have to pay for this.

“Beautiful name! Beautiful face!” Simon showers me with praises.

I'm flabbergasted. But the idea of continuing this drama once Elsie gives up control makes me cringe.

“Thank you, sir,” I purr.

“So, what about the—” Simon is about to ask when Rowan interrupts with a yawn.

“Oh, I forgot. The belly must be satisfied before our curious minds,” Simon says. “Come on in. I've prepared assorted dishes, all for you to choose whichever you like from the menu.”

“We can have the rest of the conversation while you eat,” he adds.

Rowan's brows twist at the idea. “No talking for now Simon. We can save the rest for next time… a better time… maybe when you’re not busy with work.”

“You know I'm always busy, right?” He asks.

    Everything I held back from asking Rowan is caught in my throat as I walk into my office after he had dropped me at the entrance.Almost everyone seems to be full of zest today, their chatters muffling the tacking sound of the machines.I drop my bag on my table and begin to browse my gallery on my desktops. There's a party dress design I should have started two days ago for a client. It will only take me two days to wrap it up. And I still have a week to submit it, but I want to start working on it already.“Aren't you interested in knowing why everyone is a goofball this morning?” Madison asks, flinging her red hair as she walked into my office.She's one of the few designers with a strikingly good sense of fashion. I adore her works but, just like everyone, she calls me the best.“Maddie, my hands are really tied up this morning.”“I noticed,” she chopped in with a wink, “and that's why I came to let you in on the big news.”I lift my eyes from my monitor screen. “What is that?”“Th

There's a chessboard on the glass table between us and two bottles of beer.He flashes a grin with his open teeth. “Are you going to fold your arms and calculate till eternity? Play already, man.”I press my lips tight. It's frustrating when you're playing a game with an unserious person and still getting whooped. We've played seven rounds already and he has six wins out of them. It feels like I'm just wasting my time, all to get myself annoyed and frustrated. It wasn't always this difficult playing against him. Now, it feels like he's leagues above me in a game I'm sure I introduced him to.But I'm not going to give up, yet. I can still prove that I'm a match for him. We've been playing this game together since I knew him. When did he get this good?I push my bishop two steps forward.

Maddie is quiet. I heave a sigh and take a break from the computer to look up at her.My shoulders drop when I see a guilty expression on her face.“Hey, look. You have nothing to apologize about. I always put up with her sassy behaviour, but sometimes it's just too much to bear.”“Yeah, but… I can't imagine myself at odds with my BEST friend,” she says.I flash a tight-lipped smile. “We'll figure it out. We always do.”She nods calmly.We leave when I finish with the document. There's a cafeteria by the corner and we rus

I have to be extremely careful.The car in front of me finally moves and I heave off a sigh. Traffic jams have never been a characteristic of Sacramento, but lately it has been the most constant topic on the news.I get a call from the boss and I put my phone in my ear and listen after greeting him.“Good news, Liam,” he says and my heart elates.“You see, the blood of the moon goddess’ golden daughter has proven to be a very powerful substance,” he adds. “The physician has been able to make drugs out of it that can be used to maintain my daughter's health.”“Wow!

I want the bigger one, though.I take a crunchy bite off one of the drumsticks. Yummy as ever. I might get another bucket when driving past that junk shop tomorrow. There's a soft knock on the door and my mouth stops moving. I swallow a half-chewed load of chicken. “Who is it by this time of the night?” I grumble, dragging my feet lazily to the door.I'm not in the mood to receive guests. I'm the guest of myself tonight, so everyone else should fuck off.I pull the door open and my eyes settle on Sophie's figure.

I heard things like this do happen during these competitions,” I say. “If the group is looking to invest in me, then they've found the right place.”I flag a taxi down and settle into the soft cushion of the back seat as he drives me to the office.

Once she got tired then she was going to understand that I was truly done with her and that I wanted nothing to do with her She would leave me alone then. I was waiting for her to get tired of knocking when my phone rang. I frowned when I saw it. It was from a phone number that I did not know. I picked it up, anyway. "Hello? Who is this?" I said as soon as I picked up the call. "You are Liam right? The King had asked me to contact you. He told me that you would be needing my help?" She asked me. I stood up immediately when she told me this. I had almost forgotten that the King had told me that someone was going to contact me and that they were going to yell me save the person that he wanted me to save."I think we should meet up, I will tell you where we are supposed to meet up," she said and ended the call.

    LIAMMy heart was beating fast against my chest when I left the hospital. I had been really confident that I would have been able to get Naya's blood. She was really weak and all I had to do was just take it. But who knew that even though she was sick she still had a lot of strength in her. That damn woman! Did she have to be so stubborn about everything?! If I couldn't find the antidote, then the princess and I could be dead soon. How could she just stand back and watch as two innocent people died for nothing?! Did I really have to kidnap her and force her to give me her blood? I really didn't want to go too far with her because I still had hopes of getting back with her before but I didn't think they was going to be possible anymore. It seemed that there was no other way for me to get out of this. I would have to burn all of the bridges. I was not surprised when I saw Sophie standing in front of my house when I arrived.

    NAYAI let out a sigh of relief that I did not Gen knkr that j was holding when I saw Rowan. The tears that I had been holding back started falling and he pulled me into his arms immediately. He started to comfort me. "There is no need for tob to cry anymore. I am already here. I will take care of this. You are okay now," he tried his best to comfort me. I shook my head and sobbed loudly in his arms. I did not know how long I cried for but by the time I looked up again, Rowan and I were the only ones left in the hospital room. At some point, the nurse and doctor had walked away. I sniffed as I looked up at him. "Do you feel better now?" Rowan asked me. I was still very frightened about what had happened but I was better and a lot calmer now that Rowan was here. "Yes. I do feel better...." I said as I nodded my head. "Do you want to talk about what happened....the nurse had told me that there was a man inside here? Who was it? What did he do to you?" He asked me."It was Liam

I was really scared now. I had no idea what he was going to do to me...."What are you going to do to me, Liam? Rowan is going to be back soon. If you don't want to die, you had better get out of here. He is not going to let you off if you dare to do anything to hurt me," i warned Liam. Liam just smiled evilly.

My heart was beating fast against my chest. I was still holding on to her arm and she was blinking at me as if she was trying to figure out what was going on. "What are you doing here?" Naya asked me. Her voice was really weak. She tried to sit up on the bed but she fell back down on the bed. He face went vent paler. It was obvious that she was in a lot of pain. She placed her hand on her stomach. "What happened to me?" She mumbled to herself. I scoffed at her. "You really have no one else to blame but yourself for this. You are the one who brought this upon yourself. If you had just listened to me and did as I asked, then we won't have gotten here. You have no one else to blame but yourself," I repeated this over and over again. "Liam....what are you doing here?" She asked me. If was as if Naya h

"I need you to rescue someone for me. He was taken by someone... I need to to get him out there," The King said with a frown on his face. I blinked my eyes. I could tell that he war trying to hold back as much informational as possible. I could not understand why he was doing this. If he wanted me to do something, then he should tell me what it entailed upfront so that I would be able to do a good job. "You need to tell me all that I should know about this person so that I can rescue them," I said to the King. He waved his hand at me. "you don't need to know anything more.

Was she going to come out of the place alive?.The thought of hrr dying was the scariest thing to me and I didn't really think that I would be able to take it if anything did happen to her. Henry came back with the drinks that he said he was going to get and he handed one to me. I took it from him and took a sip. I had to admit that it was really good just what I needed. Just then, the doctor walked out of the hospital room and I ran to him immediately. "Doctor....how is my wife doing ...she is not going to die, right? She is going to be okay right?" I asked him all in one breath. The doctor looked at me and shook his head and my heart started to beat fast against my chest. I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. The only thing I could think of was that she was dead. She had died. What was I supposed to do without her? How was I even going to continue my life without

    LIAMI walked out of the princess room with a heavy heart. Although I would have liked to stay and talk with her some more, I didn't want to do that. I knew her father was going to be back any time soon and I didn't want to make him even more angry with me. I was walking back to the doctors office when I saw someone I never thought I'd see in the VIP ward of the hospital. It was Rowan and he was pacing outside a hospital room with a worried look on his face. There was another man with him who also had a worried look on his face. I hid myself in a corner so he won't see me and I continued to watch him. What was he doing here? Was Naya in the hospital? I got a report from the Elders in her pack that had left the pack since her father got better. What happened to her for her to be in the hospital though? I had a lot of questions. Besides,I wasn't even sure that she was the one in there. The other guy placed a hand on Rowan's shoulder. "I am going to go downstairs and get somethi

I bowed my head as he scolded me as if I was a child. I did not dare to raise my head or say a single word back to him. I knew that all it was going to take was for me to make a simple mistake and then they were going to deal with me. I didn't want to risk it at all. "No, you don't understand it. I just want to know how she's doing. I am not planning anything. How could I dare to plan anything when you're still her with me?
