AUTHOR He smiled inwardly at his observation. Deep down, Anita was jealous because she knew that Nolan never liked her.He removed her hands from his chest. It was irritating to his person. She was angry at that action." You have no reason to be furious, Anita, I will still divorce you." I promised her, watching in satisfaction as she got more angrier.She looked as if she wanted to kill me but she couldn't. The law didn't give her the right to do so. Especially to the Baron."I know your plans, and I assure you that they won't work." I told her. If it were possible for her face to get redder than it already was, it would.She wasn't able to regain composure. That made him smile. " So you want to run away with Nancy?" She asked unable to stop herself."What do you think?" He asked. "I know that you wouldn't want to dare me." She said."What more can you do?" He mocked. She could no longer intimidate him. That era had passed.He knew that she'd set Nancy up or try to kill her."Ani
NANCYI was shocked at the question. I wasn't expecting it at all. The look in her eyes shows that she wasn't going to be fooled by anything I said." I didn't do anything." I replied bowing my head. It was the custom. I willed my heart to stop beating fast.It just didn't seem right that she was asking after Sylvia. I knew she didn't care about her. She was only looking for an excuse to pick on me." Girl, don't test me." She warned. I looked at her and looked down.Well, you can't do nothing. You have no evidence that I did it.After that thought, I became calm. A wave of serenity washed through me. She must have seen the switch in my stance.I watched as she rose and walked away towards me. She circlede but I remained in my position."I don't know what you're doing, but I'll soon catch you." She threatened, snarling in the
AUTHORThey looked at each other and Amara jumped down from his body, as she adjusted her dress.They looked at the door warily." Come in." Conan said.Roman came in. "Another maid says she's assigned here." He informed them wondering why Amara had been in there for long if it were only a drink she wanted to serve.Conan was tying a towel and Amara looked away. She looked guilty. Wasn't he betrothed to Diana?"Tell her to go back, I changed the roster.." Conan instructed.Roman didn't believe the bull. But, he nodded anyway, taking a second look at Amara before leaving the room.Amara felt weird. After coming down from the high of the kiss. She saw the disbelief in Roman's eyes. He thought she betrayed Diana."What do we do now?" She asked Conan.Conan was surprised, he didn't care what the guard th
CONANFor two weeks, things had been going on well between Amara and I. I had just concluded a meeting, with Nolan. I sneaked to see him, disguising as a guard.Diana intercepted me on my way to my room. The witch knew I paid her no mind at all.She must have been waiting for long.Ever since that stunt she pulled the other day, I didn't want anything to do with her." Good evening, Conan." She greeted." What do you have to say?" I asked." That's quite harsh to say to your betrothed." She said." Wow, that's such a shame." I replied." I know you've been going to see Amara." She said.That made me stiffen a little. I called her bluff." I find it hard to believe that you've not reported me to the Baroness. How generous of you." I said. That's what she was known for." That's because I want to make a proposition." She said. " Let's hear it." I said." I need you to marry me in paper and have Amara as your concubine." She said.I doubled in laughter. She was a clown. Marry her? She
AUTHORIt was after 6 months, that Nancy was finally able to sneak in to see Nolan. She was able to do that with the help of Micheal, the guard that loved Amara. He distracted the other guards, and this gave her the opportunity to enter.When she arrived at Nolan's cell, she almost wept. He had become a shadow of himself.His beards had started growing rapidly, filling his face. There was a crazy look in his eyes.She sincerely hoped her worst fear had not become a reality." How are you doing Nolan?" She asked skipping all formalities.Nolan cocked his head and stared at her." I'm great." His voice gruff from atrophy." I sent you a letter." She continued. He looked as of he wasn't seeing her.*'May he not be going senile.'* She prayed with everything she had." Yes." He said after a while. Why was he taking time to respond."So..." She trailed off. He stared at her blankly." You promised to tell me Anita's secrets." She whisper yelled, cautious of eavesdroppers." Did I?" He ask
Anita looked angry. " Where is my necklace?" She asked.Amara feigned innocence, " I don't know where it is ma'am." She answered." You cleaned the room last, how come it disappeared?" Anita asked furious at Amara's attempt at lying. That necklace was very important to her. She kept it in Conan's room, because she knew it was safer there. " Don't test me." She threatened. Meanwhile, Amara wondered why she was just looking for this necklace now.Something must be important about it, and she intended to discover it." I'm truly not a thief ma." She cried bring out the great waterworks.Anita wasn't a sucker for tears. It was a destructive weapon. Many liars employed this tactic." Take her to the dungeon." Anita ordered." I'm sorry, your highness, why don't you inspect the room again?" " Are you saying that they were lying?" Anita wondered."Please check again." Diana pleaded. " Go back and check." Anita ordered the guards, waiting for it to be a mode of distraction. She was so go
AMARAI snuck to see Roman, his wounds needed to be tended to. He was really brave to endure the beating. If it were another, he'd have broken." Hi, Roman." I whispered, watching as he groaned when he attempted to sit upright." Amara." He whispered." I'm sorry about this." I apologize. " How did you manage to come here?" He asked." Micheal." I pointed the lamp in his direction, and unlocked the door. I washed the wounds with antiseptic, he groaned at the impact.I could only imagine the pain he was going through.I moved on to rub the balm on his back.The healer took a liking to Sylvia, and since then, she had been helping us. She helped Nolan get better too.He groaned, loudly. I stopped as I heard a footstep approaching. I switched off the lamp.Micheal said he has distracted everyone. It was dark. My heart panted. If I was caught, it would be brutal.Anita would do worse than what happened to Roman.This was big trouble. Shockingly, it was Conan. I heaved a sigh of relief."
AUTHORThe room was brown walled, no too much decoration, very simple. It had a soothing aura. Diana supposed it was either because she was here for the first time, or because it was a healer's house.There were too many bottles in the room, and Diana wondered the use of all of them.From where she sat, her eyes caught a shiny object wedged between the door.Curiosity led her towards it. Behold, it was a chain, emitting heat.'How is that even possible?' She reached for it, and it moved.She reached for it again, and it moved. Her hands almost touched it, and it slid under the door. That was weird.She reached for it the third time and it wedged itself in between the crack in the door."Good morning your highness." The healer.Her back stiffened. A blush formed on her face, as she stood up awkwardly." Morning." She replied. The healer's face betrayed no emotion.But she felt that she was laughing at her." I have a complain." Diana started.Diana looked distraught. " Please have your
