Now I was back in my room and it was time to grade these guys. I started with Henry, he's a sweetheart and even though I don't feel that connection, he was still one of my favourite people.Alex probably liked me just to have sex with me, I wasn't really sure about that yet but I feel he's probably just teasing me and making me fall in love with him more. I loved Alex so much and I was trying to control my emotions even if it made me look like a fool.Blake was the best. We might have started off badly but he was the one I lived for. I never believed I would fall in love with someone until I fell in love with him. He was the star that made me shine and I would always loved him."Hailey, I've been calling your name for a long time now and you didn't even notice." Henry's voice brought me back to reality. I didn't even notice when he came in and close the door, I was so lost in my thoughts.
After having breakfast, I went to the field with the other slaves and cleared the grasses. I found Alex staring at me from the terrace and a huge smile grew on my face. "You seem a little bit interested in Alex." Henry whispered to me and I nodded."Yeah, it's like I'm in love with Blake and Alex and this is definitely not good for me, I don't want to be in a love triangle with any man.""I have an advice for you. Why don't you confess your feelings to Alex and see what happens? It's not necessary you both date but since you have that connection, it honestly doesn't look like a bad advice."I shook my head at the thought of his advice. Telling Alex about my feelings would ruin everything. "I don't think that would work."Henry stopped what he was doing for a while and stared at me. "I met Alex today and he is a gentleman, he's also very handsome. We got into a conversation and he talked about how much he liked you but you weren't in love with him. He feels jealous each time you talk
I washed my hands and finally rinsed my mouth with clean water. I left the room without saying anything to Alex and returned back to the room I always stayed in. I was confused. Why did I feel so bad that I had to puke? What was happening to me?I could feel my head spinning round until I fell down on the bed, weak and exhausted. I was feeling restless until I laid on the window. I felt like throwing up again but managed to stop myself.The door was pushed open and Henry walked into the room and found me in that condition. He became bothered about my health condition and he sat near me after I told him I wasn't feeling okay."What's wrong? Does it have anything to do with what you ate?"I shook my head. "I haven't eaten this morning so I don't think it has to do with that. I'm just confused because I don't fall sick always.""What's wrong then?" "I don't know, I just feel weak, exhausted and tired. I don't know what to think again."He patted my back and placed a gentle kiss on my fo
I just knew Princess Kieran sent them. She was the one who could do something terrible to me.Before I could do something, a huge blow from one of the muscular guys sent me on the floor and everywhere became pitch black.I stirred uncomfortably, and realised I had rolled over onto my stomach. Still half asleep, I groaned as I felt the stiffness of a troubled night settle into my bones, and shooting pains run from my neck to the bottom of my spine. As I came to my senses, I realised it was still pitch dark. But wait, it wasn't night, was it?That wasn't all, though. The pain and stiffness in my spine wasn't just from sleeping. There was a figure sitting on top of me, straddling my thighs so that I could not move, and fear gripped my throat. As soon as I tried to turn my head to scream, a hand tightened in my hair and shoved my face into the pillow, hard enough to stifle my voice and restrict my breathing. I couldn't breathe, I was dying.I bucked, scrabbling as I tried to twist my arm

Few hours later, Alex had already prepared to leave and King Raymond had given him some jewelries and water to take care of himself. I just hoped I could trust him even though he had proven to be loyal. I just felt someone was going to betray me again and I didn't know who.It was just devasting that I was paying for my father's sins when I didn't even know him. And these people refuse to accept the fact that I'm innocent. They all feel like I'm a threat and that's why they're trying to get rid of me. We all left the hall and went back to the slaves quarters. I didn't know who to trust but I just knew Henry was always there for me and he would protect me. I was also happy he found someone else to fall in love with. "Missing your mate again?" A familiar voice asked from behind me, bringing me back to reality. It was King Raymond's voice. I stopped and turned back at him, bowing my head like a slave.He was surprised by my new behavior, "When did you learn to do that? Have you finally
"Do you know about any council?" I asked Henry as soon as I got back into the room.I reckoned he wasn't going to know but I decided to ask anyway. It wasn't a bad idea to ask him.He shook his head and stared at me suspiciously. "No, I don't know what you mean by that. What happened? You're having a kind of scared and curious expression on your face."I explained everything that happened in Princess Kieran's room and he was surprised to find out that I confronted her and King Raymond couldn't do anything about it."I'm really confused."His eyes were still wide-open. "Really? Hailey, you took a very risk talking back at the Princess and confronting her. You're only putting a wide target on your back and they are going to come for you." He told me.I knew that but I just couldn't resist the opportunity to lash out at her and confront her for always trying to get rid of me when she couldn't do it herself."I was pissed off at that moment and I didn't know what I was doing. Gosh, what w
He made me lie down on his bed with the fear that he was probably going to do something nasty to me in the midnight. I was battling it hard not to sleep but my eyes were closing each time I tried to keep it open.He covered me with the bedspread so I wouldn't feel cold and laid on the bed. He was such a snake, how could he change characters so easily? And why was he trying to be so nice to me? He was such a pretender.As I thought about him, I fell into the desperate arms of sleep. It certainly didn't feel like I had slept for five minutes because I woke up because of the alarm clock near me. As soon as my eyes opened, I didn't make the mistake of closing them again. I sat up and found a tray with Green tea.Was he trying to poison me like he did to Blake? I wasn't going to fall his for his extra kindness because I knew he was just doing this so he doesn't get himself into trouble. Princess Kieran had messed things up for him so he was trying to correct it.I wondered what to do with
