Kira. I have been so anxious and uneasy for the past few days now. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't do anything and I feel helpless about it. We only had a moment and he just disappeared into thin air without even saying anything to me. How am I supposed to live this way? Where has he gone to? What if something happened to him? Did he leave me again? Did I scare him with my emotional breakdown? My steps were back and forth restlessly. I was still in my nightwear but I didn't give a damn. I needed to do something, I can't sit here and can't die of curiosity and worry. I need to talk to Gus. As I took gentle steps back inside the room, I heard a knock before the doors were pushed open. Vanessa and a few other maids strolled in. I know what they are here for so I took the opportunity to get what I wanted. They all looked at me with worry and confusion in their eyes; they could sense the uneasiness in my eyes and movements but I said nothing. "I need to talk to Gus, can you ge
Kira.I couldn't believe what I heard. It resembled a dream; a sad dream at that, but something about his return had my organs jumping for joy. I didn't want to be happy but I couldn't help it. Immediately after the information was passed to me, I felt life slowly crawling back into my body. It suddenly became a lovely dream. I suddenly don't feel betrayed anymore, all the pain I felt before his return dissolved into something else. It dissolved into tears. Those tears that had threatened earlier began to roll down my cheeks and I couldn't help it. I didn't care that there were maids everywhere, I just wanted to let it all out. It is my way of feeling relieved.Immediately, I started running towards the door. I hear Vanessa calling after me, "My Lady...," but I didn't give a care about it. At this moment all that mattered to me was to see him; all my body wanted was to be held by him. I wanted to be drowned in that warm embrace yet again. I didn't want to waste a single second, I coul
Kira.Before I couldn't stop myself, I ran into arms. I feel him stiffen to my grip, and I feel the tension, I know I am overreacting but I just can't help it, I can't stop myself; we formed a bond and he just disappeared into thin air, I was worried, scared and felt helpless about it.I stay in his arms and we hug for I don't know how long, but when I let go, it felt as though a million and one eyes stared at me. I froze when they all looked at me as if I had committed a crime. At first, it was just Gus and both guards staring but when I let go of him, I saw the gaze of a man from behind and a couple of others; they had accompanied him from wherever he went and I was oblivious to that.I was not familiar with the faces I saw, my eyes grazed them one after another until I see just one person I recognizes, Aries. She was just at the left amongst a few others that had accompanied The Lord.I look up at him but the look in his eyes had me confused and cowering. There was fury in his eye
Kira.Is this what it feels like to be on the clouds?Is this what heaven feels like?I was buried underneath him and everything that he is, taking what he gave and giving all I've got. It was passion, it was desire mixed with pleasure, it was longing, it was real. He craved me in the same way I did him and even more, and for the first time since I met him, I experienced what I have always dreamt about for four consecutive days and it was real; I have dreamed of it this way, but this, this is even better than my fantasy, this is heaven. Being under him is heaven. My eyes were shut, and I was engulfed in his scent, his minty breath and his shallow scent of lavender and honeydew mixed in gracefulness but all I could feel was the heat centered on my lips as he took and tasted all of me, I shuddered profusely underneath him, not being able to handle it. I wasn't ready for him but I just couldn't stop myself.I felt his hand going up my thighs gently like a professor of the human body... H
Kira."You are hurt?"I saw the worry in his eyes change to fury and my heart thudded nonstop. A few minutes ago he desired me like I was the only person in the entire universe, but now there was nothing but anger, the love had been replaced with it."How did you get hurt?" He questioned, already interrogating and pulling me gently from the bed to check if I had other injuries."M-My Lord." I was going to deny but before I could say anything, he grabbed my waist and lifted me gently, taking me to the couch at the center of the room, already dissipating to my level and taking my sprained wrist in his palm. I didn't dare to utter one word, I just stayed silent, escaping his bad side for just for a few seconds, he already looked pissed enough.You haven't answered my question." His eyes were on my wrist as he spoke to me— as if he didn't want me to see how pissed he was when he directs his gaze on me, he had stayed with me for just a day but he knows that I read his emotions through his
As I walk down the aisle for what seemed like an eternity, I took deep breaths to calm my wandering thoughts and surged nerves. I feel the stares from people – my relatives, and I gulp down my saliva. I managed to raise my eyes as the auspicious stares only made me tenser.This was not the kind of marriage I dreamed of growing up as a kid and an adopted daughter, this was far from it. I have always dreamt of falling in love with a simple man and getting married to him with just a few friends invited, living a simple yet peaceful and happy life. But this is what I get, a grand wedding with a missing groom. I was getting married to nothing but thin air.He wasn't there, and neither were any of his family members. Why would they do that when they are helping us out by allowing their son to marry me?My gaze wandered to my father's face. He sat in the front row and gave me a bitter look. He instigated this. I am getting married to someone I have never met because of him. And for what? Al
Kira."I'm Oden Himmer, the Monsorries' chauffeur, and I'm here to take you home."He motioned for me to enter the black limousine that was waiting for me right outside the church's front doors, treating me like a queen as he opened the car's front doors.I walked over to the car and hesitantly climbed inside, looking out the car window at the church as though it were my final time to view it.My heart was thumping loudly in my chest as the car steadily accelerated. I started to ponder what life would be like in my new home. Father sold me off to the wealthiest family in the country, who are way out of our league. What kind of lifestyle would that be? How do the people there behave? Am I going to be welcomed?They may not want me in their family, based on how I was treated at the wedding. Nobody from that place was there.I sat in the moving car staring out the window as people and objects passed by, feeling already cold and alone. I didn't even notice when I dozed off. Who can blame
Kira.I was stunned by the fortress' size and magnificence as I walked deeper and deeper into the structure that appeared to have been sculpted by Zeus himself. I followed Gus closely as he walked with perfect poise, absolutely bewildered. I had no idea where I was because every pillar we passed and hallway we entered was identical to the one before it. I simply followed him, sinking more and further into its darkness like a lost child.This mansion looked to have some sort of history tied to it. Its walls shouted artistic design, and the sculptured knights in armor at each pillar's corner gave me chills from head to toe. It brought back memories of the old movies I used to watch, and it reminded me of how ferocious knights once were. Gus and I were both really small in comparison because of how big everything else was. I felt as though Hercules' era was being transported to me.When he eventually rounded a curve and entered another hallway, something felt off. It was frighteningly gl
