~Luciano~"What took you so long to say the truth!"I said through gritted teeth and she lowered her head in shame."Nikolai told me that he would kill me if I dare tell anyone that he was involved in poisoning Hazel and that I slept with him."The bitch explained."So you're more afraid of Nikolai than me?"I whipped her and she screamed in agony."He threatened to kill my mother too and that's why I agreed to his conditions.She's the only family that I have left and I don't want to lose her like I have lost everyone in my life.Please don't let Nikolai hurt my mother now that I have told you the truth that you wanted to know."Hilda went to her knees and pleaded for her mother's life.Even though I didn't want to show it. I felt her efforts to protect the person she loves. That was the same thing that I was doing right now, I was protecting Hazel because I love her so much."You should have thought about your mother's life before going against me and trying to mess up with what's mine,bit
~Luciano~I clenched my hands into tight fists, restraining myself from punching the old man across the face because he was pissing me off."I don't have all day, Nikolai. You better go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush!"I said through gritted teeth and his lips curved into a smile."The half-breed deserves death, Luciano. I didn't care about her that much but when she stepped on my lane, I decided to place her where she belongs."The old man said and I couldn't help but wonder what the hell he was talking about."You're such a coward, Nikolai. You used the cowardly way because you knew that your plans wouldn't succeed if you used physical strength."The corner of my lips curved into a dim smile and I brushed hair strands from my face."There are so many ways to kill a rat, Luciano. I know you are young and you don't know why I did what I did. Now let me tell you because it seems like your father never mentioned anything to you about what we agreed on before he passe
~Hazel~"Hazel…"I heard a familiar voice that soothed my spirits and Mia purred in my head. I couldn't tell for how long I had missed listening to the voice.All I knew was that I had missed it so much.I turned my head slowly and looked towards the source of the voice and there he was, his grey eyes was gentle and his lips curved into a smile."Luciano…"I whispered his name, my voice croaky and my throat dry because I felt so thirsty."You're awake."The prince leaned in and brushed my dark hair strands from my face then tucked it behind my ear. I closed my eyes and moved a little bit close to feel more of his touch despite my weak body.Even though I couldn't tell how long, my body had missed his touch damn much."I missed you so much."He confessed, looking deep into my brown hazel eyes with gentleness. My heart stopped beating for a while because I couldn't believe my ear.I have been waiting to hear this words come from his lips for way too long.I didn't care if he was lying to me or
~Hazel~I blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision. I tried to toss on the comfortable bed but a strong arm held me in place.I tilted my head upwards to look at Luciano who was still sleeping peacefully, half of his face was covered with his jet-black hair and I smiled at the sight.The smile on my lips faded when many thoughts popped into my head. I couldn't help but get worried when I imagined one day watching him hold someone else's hand.I blinked countless times to hold back tears. I already knew what I caught myself into the day his d*ck went deep inside me.My heart ached when I gave it a thought. I know it would not last and that's why I don't want to get addicted to him because it would be painful to let go when that time comes.But…how am I supposed to de-touch myself from him when I'm already stuck to him like glue?A deep sigh escaped my lips and I tried to pull his hand slowly from my waist so that I could sneak out like what I did last time we had sex."Wh
~Luciano~"We're under attack."My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage when I heard Gamma's words. I stood up from the couch immediately and Hazel did the same thing.I asked my most trusted soldier Michael to come and guard my wing through the mind link because I didn't want Hazel to get hurt then.Hazel grabbed my hand so tightly and I turned around to look at her with creased eyebrows. I didn't have time to joke around, this was not the right time. For now, I have to protect my people."Not now brown eyes. I have to go and fight."I looked at her hand tightly wrapped on my arm then raised my head slowly to look deep in her brown Hazel eyes and all I could see was unexplainable fear."I'm going to help you fight."She said with determination, her voice bold and her eyes fierce. She looked like a fighting goddess and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows at her."You are not in your strength, brown eyes. You're sick and weak to fight. I have asked my soldier to come and guard the roo
~Hazel~I tossed on the bed for the millionth time. I tried to close my eyes and get some sleep but I couldn't. There was an alien feeling that invaded my heart and I couldn't shake it away no matter how much I was trying to."Why is Luciano taking too long to come back to our room?" I mumbled under my breath.I climbed down off the bed, slipped into Luciano's big slippers nearby and headed for the door.I tried to open it but all my efforts were in vain,he had locked it from the outside. A deep sigh of defeat escaped my lips and I went back to bed.I couldn't fall asleep without Luciano beside me.I think I had grown too close to him. I wanted to know what he had found out about the attack too.When I was about to stand up and bang on the door so that anyone passing by could open it for me, the door clicked open and Luciano walked in.He looked so pissed off, his hair was a mess and I could easily tell that he raked it a couple of times. I couldn't help but frown at the sight.He walked
~Hazel~"What? Are you out of your mind, Hazel? How do you expect me to help you give the letter to someone who tried to attack our kingdom?"Hades questioned me and I felt some unexplainable bitterness in his voice."Luciano won't like it if he finds out that you wrote a letter for your ex-husband, trust me."Hades reasoned out and I took a deep breath.I recalled how possessively he held me in his arms as he thrust so deep and the way he made me confess some words."The letter doesn't have anything to do with the Southern secrets, trust me Hades. It's some personal stuff. You can read it if you think that I'm planning something behind your backs."I paused and heaved a deep sigh."I can do anything on this earth Hades but I would never betray Luciano. "I confessed and Hades went silent when he heard my words."Okay, I will help you out but first I need to read the letter and make sure that it doesn't have details that threaten our kingdom."He said and a deep sigh escaped my lips. I didn
~Hazel~"Well you can give them any punishment that you think suits them, it's fine with me."I smiled and shrugged nonchalantly. I wanted them to know that it'll be with any punishment that they would give them.I looked at Luciano and our eyes locked."No! I want you to be the one to decide. I told you that I would give you the permission to give them a punishment?"Luciano reminded me of the conversation that we had the night that I woke up from coma and my heart melted into a puddle.I couldn't believe that he remembered the conversation that we had. I never thought that he keeps every single conversation we always have at heart.The thought of it made me want to wrap my hands around him and kiss him so deeply. However,all I could do was look into those grey eyes that I had learned to love so much."What about they become slaves? I think that is enough punishment."I suggested and everyone in the room frowned at my words."Don't forget that those two women wanted to kill Luciano, that
