LeiyaLyle had fallen asleep after our meal, leaving me by myself. Whenever one of us was asleep, the other had to find something to occupy ourselves with. He was probably used to it, but I wasn't. I was completely bored, left with my own unfriendly thoughts.I browsed through the books he had stacked on the shelves. They were a lot. I had picked up and returned a number of them. Ranging from romance novels to murder, to books about demons and angels. Even though I was casually looking through for something that would interest me, I was hoping to find a book on magic and spells.I was on the second shelf when a small paper that looked like it was hastily pushed into a book, caught my attention. I tried to take out the paper but for some reason, I couldn't. I took out the entire book with ease, and attempted to pull out the paper. I still had no luck with it. Baffled by how a small piece of paper was hanging tightly to the pages of the book, I examined the enRelated chapters

Juzarh LeiyaAfter the book incident, I had been weary of Lyle. I knew he was hiding something but I wasn't sure what. Whatever he was hiding, he was hiding it pretty well. He was clueless as to how I felt about him. Just as he was doing a perfect job keeping his secret, I was doing a perfect job at pretending. “Leiya,” he called my attention away from the fantasy novel I was engrossed in. “Yes Lyle?” I looked up, watching him walk towards where I sat.“Do you know how to swim?”His out of the blue question amused me. I closed the book to pay full attention to him. “No I don't.” “Great,” he gleefully threw his hands in the air. ”Another thing I need to teach you.” he sounded more excited than I was. It made me giggle a little bit.“I think I would rather finish up this book.”I mumbled, picking up the book with its pages opened. I was still trying to find where I was when the book suddenly flew out of my hand. “Leiya, I've been
Sold to the Prince of Hell Giving reasons.
JuzarhLeiya I wanted to pull my hand about his way throughout the entire journey to the small spring, but he was holding me tightly. Not the firm yet soft way he used to, a more aggressive way. He was unconsciously projecting his anger onto me. We finally got to the water and he let me go. At so many points along the way, I wanted to speak on how tightly his grip was but for some reason, I was scared. He was obviously angry about something and I didn't know how he was when he was angry. I also didn't want to find out. “Isn't it beautiful?”He was talking about the water. I walked a little away from him to also observe the beauty. It truly was beautiful. It looked so clean, crystal clear, but it was still strangely flowing backwards. “It is beautiful.” I whispered, more to myself than to him.“Not as beautiful as you.”I looked up to meet his gaze, a small smile on his lips. I wanted to be flattered, I wanted to blush inwardly and project a little

JuzarhLeiyaI quietly made my way back to the small house. My injured wrist held to my chest by the other hand, while I forced my crying to a stop. I could hear him walking behind me. He had tried calling as he followed, but after a number of tries to which I did not respond, he fell silent and just walked behind me. The subtle fear I had for Lyle wasn't subtle anymore. I was very afraid of being alone with him. I was afraid of being near him. How was I going to spend the rest of my life in this place with him? I needed to find a way out of this place. The second I turned my back to him, I knew I needed to leave. If there was no way out, I would rather take my own life. Either way, living the rest of my life with him was a nightmare I didn't want to live in. I walked into the small cottage, he followed behind me. I walked to the kitchen corner for a small bowl of water. I made my way outside, pouring the cold water over my inflated wrist. I quietly winced in pain.

JuzarhLeiyaI haven't been able to sleep properly in the past few days. Being alone with Lyle, in the same house, in an unknown town with no other residents was very distressing. I couldn't look him in the eye, my heart raced every time he was close to me, I always forced a kaigh at his jokes. Nothing was the same. The pain in my wrist had also cleared up. The mark, however, still remained. A red band around my wrist to remind me of how monstrous he could get. I also couldn't believe he didn't notice anything different about me, I wondered if he was just clueless or I was very good at pretending. Either way, he had been very much the same way as he was in the beginning. “What should we do today Leiya?”His voice distracted me from the book I was reading. Reading was all I did. I let my imagination run free. I imagined being out of here, in the real world with other people. I imagined being back at Kaltain, in the warm embrace of Helion. I imagine sitting and t
Sold to the Prince of Hell Going away.
Juzarh Leiya My life had officially become a living hell. Stuck with a man who has a behavior problem and a worrisome attitude for the rest of my life with no way of escape. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't do it. I couldn't pretend anymore. His smile that used to excite me was now sickening and repulsive. His voice that used to excite me was now horrifying.“Leiya,”He called from the other room. Anytime he called, my heart stopped for a moment. When he was around me, the air in the room wasn't enough.“You should cook for me today.” He said as he walked into the living area. I looked up from the book I was reading. It was hard to tell if he was being serious or not. “I don't know how to.”He knew this. I watched him walk towards the table, waiting for what condescending thing he was going to say next. “It's a woman's job to cook for her husband.”I wasn't sure what part of his statement disgusted me the most, but I was to choose,

Juzarh LeiyaMy eyes slowly opened. I was laid on my back in a familiar looking room. I scanned the room where I was. Soon enough I realized I was back at the small house, and I was in Lyle's bed. I lifted my arm to confirm if I had actually slit it, or I had been dreaming. There was a faint cut which meant I wasn't dreaming. I felt myself coming to tears. I had no control over anything happening. I couldn't even successfully take my own life. I dreaded walking out to meet him, I dreaded what he would do to me. I wanted to just lie on the bed until I died. As my thoughts forced tears down my face, I heard loud bickering. He was at it again, talking with the invisible person as last time.I forced myself out of bed. Whatever he was going to do to me, I was ready for it. If he was going to kill me, I would very much appreciate it. The moment I stood on my feet, I struggled to stay up. I felt so weak, my head pounded and my vision was also blurry. I had lost a lot of

RastokNaylaXerian went back with Zen and Venah after she had applied the healing paste on my ankle. I was feeling a lot better and offered to go along with them. I wanted to make sure Venah was comfortable at Zen's as well as see the blush on her face when we left the two of them for the night. However Xerian refused.They all backed him up, refusing I walk, and insisting I rest. Outnumbered and with no choice, I reluctantly agreed. I resorted to hugging Venah, bidding Zen goodnight, then they left. I walked around the room for a few moments. Limping subtly with little to no pains. In a few days, I will be able to walk just fine. When I was satisfied with the exercise for my ankle, I took off my undergarments and sat in bed. I wanted to stay up until Xerian returned, but my tired body was winning the war with my heart. I occupied myself with thoughts of Venah and Zen. They looked like they were going to get along just fine. Maybe he would take her mind away from X

JuzarhLeiya“You will regret this.” Lyle hissed. His eyes that once looked at me softly looked at me with hate. The same hate I had for him. “She will not regret anything because you will not touch her, Lyle.”Helion's delivery of a stern warning gave me more courage. I wanted to hit Lyle again. “I'm not scared of you.” Lyle expressed with disgust. I heard a scornful laugh from behind me and suddenly Lyle got to his feet. “Go on Lyle,” I heard Helion's deep tone. "You're free now. Touch her.”Free as he was, I didn't feel a hint of fear as I looked into his eyes. I knew he wouldn't dare to touch me, he was scared of his brother and he was too much of a coward to admit it. We stared at each other for a few more minutes. The silence in the room was deafening. The anger, rage and hate emitting from the both of us could be felt in the air. “Just what I thought,” Helion's scornful voice broke the silence.“Now sit.” He growled. Lyle

Valinor Nayla After Leiya left, it took a few more days for Xerian and I to completely settle back into our previous life as prince and princess of Valinor. To announce the returning of his only son and future king, the royal informat was sent to every corner in the entire kingdom. The night we returned, a big fire was lit in the town square. There was loud singing and vigorous dancing. By the next day, King Raslin threw a large feast for the entire kingdom. The castle gates were opened for everyone, both adults and children, to come welcome us. Xerian and I sat on the royal table in the courtroom, waving and smiling to everyone who came. And gifts. The people brought a lot of gifts. From fruits, to vegetables, to meat, to wine, our table was filled with them all. The day after that, the king threw another feast to celebrate our arrival. This time it was not open to the public, only other royals were invited. Kings, queens and their children from far and wide honored his invitati

Kaltain LeiyaHelion immediately let go of me. The fear in Calin's eyes showed he was being completely honest. Kaltain was supposed to be safe. Completely safe. “The forcefield," Helion mumbled in horror. “It's weak, I haven't done the ritual since the last time." My head instantly connected the dots together. Shortly after he performed the ritual, I got myself in trouble with Lyle. He was probably occupied with trying to find me and handle matters of the kingdom. When he finally found me, I left again shortly after.m, taking him in another hunt for me. Kaltain was under attack and it was my fault. Helion turned to me, gripping my shoulders with fear in his eyes. “Go to your chambers and wait for me.” It was more of a warning than an instruction. "No,” I shook my shoulders out of his grip. “Kaltain is also my kingdom.” I mumbled. "I would rather die by your side than hide in my chambers like a coward.”“Leiya," he growled in frustration, running his

Kaltain NaylaXerian made a shocking recovery after a few days. He was able to completely talk audibly, eat without being fed, and walk perfectly fine by himself. He no longer felt the excruciating pain in his stomach when he laughed or coughed. He was also looking more like himself. His cheeks were fuller, his skin was brighter and his eyes were lighter, devoid of pain, worry or anxiety. I could say he was almost like his former self. We were now ready to return to Valinor. He had been looking forward to it everyday since we spoke about it, even happier when I insisted I would leave with him. Which meant I had to speak to my sister about it. Helion was the only one aware I was also leaving. The night before Xerian and I were to leave, I was feeling severe anxiety talking to Leiya about it. Helion overheard my concerns and convinced me to be honest with her. Him and I had formed some sort of relationship while I was at his castle, and I couldn't believe he was the same

Kaltain LeiyaI impatiently walked through the halls in search of Helion. The overwhelming feeling to kiss him passionately grew even worse with each step I took. I was just stepping out of the dinning area when I ran into Calin. The first thing he did was to lower his head in a bow. My jaw almost dropped. “Your majesty." He muttered, before lifting his eyes to meet mine. I was shocked. Shock didn't express it enough, I couldn't believe my eyes. I could swear it was a different person who simply looked like Calin. Calin hated me. Even though he called out Helion's lies about my sister, he did it for his selfish reasons. He did it to get rude of me, and he did. He had no respect for me at all, and now, out of the deep ocean blues, he bowed and referred to me as a royal. With disbelief in my eyes and voice, I tried not to stutter as I spoke. “Have you any idea where his majesty, King Helion, May be?”He opened his mouth to speak, but shut it almost immediat

Kaltain Leiya There was worry behind my sister's eyes when she asked to see the prince of Valinor. I still couldn't believe she was married. It felt strange to refer to him as her husband. Even though she was older than twelve, she was still very young, barely even sixteen. But it was obvious she loved him deeply. I gave her a small nod before turning to the maid who did the strands behind my gown. “Have you any idea where the Prince of Valinor lies?" "Yes, your majesty,” she muttered calmly. "I can take your majesty there.” Not too long after that, we made our way through a flight of stairs, following behind the maid who led us to where Xerian was. We walked for a few minutes before she stopped before a door. The guards pushed the doors open after lowering their heads to acknowledge our presence. Nayla ran up from behind me when she noticed the prince on the bed. I smiled inwardly as I watched her run to his side, nervously looking over him. “Xerian?"

KaltainLeiyaThe familiar walls of the Kaltain castle , the place I had grown to call home, brought tears of joy to my eyes. Helion had to make two more trips after taking Xerian away. He first took Nayla and I, before going back to get Kamael and Cizer. He could only transport himself with two other people.The moment he took my hand, I closed my eyes. When I smelt cleaner and better air, I opened them to find myself back in my room. A smile formed on my lips. I had always dreamed Nayla would sit on my bed, listening to the stories I had to tell, and now she actually was in the room, not as a dream or a thought, but actually standing beside me. I felt a kiss on the side of my head. “Welcome back home." Helion whispered with a smile. In a heartbeat, he was gone. When he left, I noticed the maids that stood by the end of the bed. They lowered their heads when we appeared before them. “They're here for our baths.”I informed Nayla as her excited eyes sc

Archurl Leiya The moment I whispered his name, he dropped the guard to the floor. The cell doors instantly disappeared and I walked right through. His eyes shone with happiness, his voice the most welcoming I had ever heard. “My beautiful Leiya.” I launched myself into his arms. I was just reunited with my sister and now the man, who snatched my heart like the demon that he was, found us just in time. It felt so surreal. Like a dream, like the fairytales you read in a book, except it was real. It was my life and it was happening to me. “I am so sorry for letting you go again," I heard his shaky voice through my sobs. He gently pulled me away, staring deeply into my soul. “I would never do that again." I was too stunned to speak. My heart was going through a rollercoaster of emotions but I knew, I was just as elated to see him. I quietly nodded, with a smile on my face. One of relief and tenderness. Looking into his eyes, all I could think about was how much I had

Archurl Leiya The moment I was thrown into the cell, she flung herself into my arms. Our entire bodies shuddered as we cried uncontrollably, clinging onto each other as if for dear life. Just when I had lost all hope, just when I thought my mother's spirit had abandoned me, all the while she was leading me to her. To Nayla. The emptiness around us didn't matter anymore. Our injuries didn't matter anymore. The bodily pain we felt, we couldn't feel them anymore. The moment took it all away. The unrequited joy of finally being together was enough healing magic for us. It was all the healing we needed, for our souls and for our bodies. We cried and cried. There was so much to say, so much to express, so many feelings all at once, but all that came were tears. The journey that seemed almost impossible, that we had both given up on, it was all worth it. We finally got the courage to let go. We pulled back slightly, just enough to get another glimpse of each other's

ArchurlLeiyaMy eyes gradually opened. The first thing they noticed was the movement of the rocky road. It took me a moment to notice I was being carried over a man's shoulder with a rope tied around my hands and legs. One by one, my brain began to piece together the last scenes I witnessed before I passed out. The sight of Yahn's lifeless body lying in a pool of his blood flashed before my eyes. My heart sank. I began to feel all the bitter emotions afresh. I hastily looked around me in search of the others. I was held firmly, my movements were restricted to just seeing in front of me. I tried to look over my shoulder. As soon as I tried, I felt a sharp horrible muscle pain. I didn't need to be told to look ahead of me. “Put me down!”I demanded with a loud yell, banging my tied fists against his back. I banged and banged, trying to get him to react, but I was getting the wrong attention. Just then, I realized I was being carried through a crowd of amused spe
