I had to say that after he ascended to the throne, Desmond gave off a vibe that made him seem even more mature than before. I stared at his attractive face as I thought to myself that he would indeed make a great king, if only he wanted to be one. Now if only that king would just keep his words and the promises that he made to me, then all would be perfect. “What about my father? Is he going to end up being the new president of this country?" I asked directly."It's a surprise," Desmond replied with the response that I dreaded the most."I somehow knew that you would say something like that," I muttered darkly to express my disappointment."I have to say that your father is actively campaigning for votes now, so you should be glad that your sister is back; otherwise, you're going to be the one who needs to be out there working for him," Desmond said before letting out a dry laugh. "I guess I have you to thank," I remarked a little sarcastically."I can't have you joining him becaus
**The following morning**"Diana. Wake up, Diana! Don't you have somewhere to go today?" I asked as I reached out a hand to tap my sister softly on her shoulder. Diana didn't even stir in her sleep at first, but then her eyelids began to flutter. I recalled from the night before that there was a very important interview and photoshoot that she had been looking forward to. It had been a while since she had been officially featured on the front page of a magazine, and she was excited about this opportunity. That being said, I had no idea why she seemed to be sleeping in when she was supposed to be up and about and getting ready."Wake up, Diana! You have an interview to go to today and a magazine photoshoot. I also have to get my ass out of the hospital today," I reminded her, in case she had forgotten. Diana wasn't the most diligent of people, but she was clearly responsible when it came to everything that she cared about, and I knew that she cared about this magazine photoshoot. "Wa
I struggled internally for a moment, but I knew that there was no way that I could turn her down. Donna looked so sad and also a little stressed. She was right that getting this shoot right was important in returning her to the social scene. Also, it wouldn't be so great for her to mess up her first magazine shoot after returning to the country. I let out a loud sigh as I closed my eyes when I realized that there was probably no other way out.“This is because of the weather, isn’t it? Is it that time of the year already? I guess it sucks that your allergies never completely went away. How are you holding up? Do you want to take that medicine that you always take?” I asked before letting out a soft sigh.I had failed to realize that it was already that time of year when Diana’s weather allergies would start acting up. Being stuck inside, I had failed to realize that the air outside might have gotten heavier and it had been raining on and off for a few days. Suddenly, I felt slightly g
Along with a couple of other bodyguards, I headed towards Dahlia's hospital room. It was a path that I had walked so many times that I was certain that I could arrive safely at her hospital room with my eyes closed without using much effort. "Wait here," I instructed the rest of the guards before turning to nod my head in acknowledgment to the other guards that were already on guard in front of her hospital room."You're finally here!" a sweet-sounding voice greeted me the moment that I entered the room.I watched as a very beautiful woman dressed in a casual dress approached me. Slowly, I closed the door behind me before turning to give her my undivided attention. The bright smile that she had on her face as she tilted her face upwards to stare right into my eyes told me that she was beyond thrilled to see me."You have no idea just how long I've been waiting for you. I thought you would arrive here much earlier in the morning," she said before showing me a sweet smile."Should I be
"Why would I ever get jealous?" I replied bluntly."Well, I guess that's a slight shame. Then again, I guess sometimes we don't have a good understanding of our own emotions, am I right?" she asked sweetly before smiling seductively at me."What about you? Do you think you have a good understanding of your emotions?" I asked, wondering as our eyes locked in an intense stare."I'm not sure if I understand my feelings very well, but I think that I understand what I want really, really well," she replied in a seductive whisper as she slowly reached out a hand and placed it against my beating heart. Her beautifully alluring eyes were filled with desire as she stared into my face while her hand slowly stroked my chest suggestively."Shouldn't we wait until we get back home?" I asked. Things were starting to get even more amusing than I ever thought possible when I entered the hospital room. Instead of heading back as fast as possible, it seemed like she was intent on seducing me right then
Diana did not look impressed at my lack of reaction to her teasing words. Although, I did realize that if I hadn't called her out on her act, we would probably be doing it right now. Any fool who couldn't tell the two sisters apart would have surely fallen into her trap."You know, I really hate you," she confessed before smiling sweetly at me."Then get off of me already," I said, with the warning edge in my voice."Not yet. We need to talk," she said as she pressed her hands on top of my shoulders as if they would help keep me in place.I had no idea why she needed to be sitting on top of me for us to have a decent conversation. Diana's mind seemed to be racing as her eyes started to dart to the side, and I couldn't help but wonder what she was trying so desperately hard to figure out."This is going to sound quite crazy. I hate you, but for some reason, I feel like I can trust you now. Maybe it's because you can tell that I'm not Dahlia," she said before she hesitated. My patience
Thankfully, both the interview and shoot for the magazine ended early, and I was able to make it back quickly to the hospital."Lady Diana," one of the bodyguards said when they saw me."Please move aside, I need to see my sister right away," I said hurriedly. However, instead of stepping aside and opening the door for me right away, the guards glanced at each other with a hesitant look on their faces, as if they weren't sure about what to do. That was when it occurred to me that Diana wasn't the only person inside my hospital room."Is Bradon here?" I asked, trying to keep my tone calm.He called to tell me that he would come and pick me up. I should have told him that I had to go out in Diana's place because she suddenly fell sick. Although I doubted that he would agree to letting me take my sister's place for the photoshoot, maybe I should have told him anyway. My body froze in place, and I found that I wasn't sure what to do. Bradon was clearly inside with Diana right now.My hear
Bradon was supposed to pick me up from the hospital, but I had to take my sister's place at her magazine interview and photoshoot. Diana was supposed to be sick in bed. When Bradon arrived to pick me up, he should have met Diana, who was supposed to explain my absence. I wasn't sure how things were supposed to turn out, but Bradon making out with my sister while I was away surely surpassed even my wildest imagination."Are you feeling alright, miss?" the driver asked as he glanced at me through the rearview mirror. I quickly turned away to hide my face because I feared that he might recognize me. "I'm fine. Please just continue driving; I'll pay you, that's not a problem," I said to reassure him while hating just how broken and upset I sounded. My voice was cracking, and it sounded like my throat was dry. I could feel the taxi driver staring at me through the rearview mirror for a moment before redirecting his attention back to the road. I could no longer ignore the tears streaming
