Lyra's POV

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him, "Why do I have to tell them you're the father?"

Philip groaned in frustration. He pinched the bridge of his nose before shaking his head, "Do you trust me, Lyra?"

I frowned and raised an eyebrow, "I used to, but you just said something I don't think I can trust. What's going on?"

"Nothing is going on," he held my shoulders. His eyes darted around as if anxious that we would be getting some company, "Lyra, please, I need you to trust me again. I'll tell you all you need to know, but right now, we have to leave. We don't know if they'll be on our tail any moment from now."

I wanted to push him away and refute the idea of leaving with him, but I was wise enough to know that staying would get me killed without a second thought.

I did trust him, and something like this wasn't going to ruin the trust when I knew that he was the perfect husband and the perfect father for my baby. There was no way I was going to let go of this rare gem.

    Lyra's POV"There's nothing to confess," he said.I didn't refute his words nor did I have it in me to hold it against him. All I wanted to do was reach the destination he had set out for me. All I wanted to do was have this journey come to an end.I was yet to find out what he was hiding from me. Yet to find out what it was that was going on with him. I couldn't even guess what it could be because Philip was inherently a very mysterious man. I didn't know what he was holding in his heart nor could I guess it.I was only sure of one thing as I watched the waves of the sea move to the bright moon that was shining on it.This issue he was keeping from me was something that I cannot guess on my own.I didn't argue with him; instead, I turned to ask him, "so are there any cabins on this ship?" I asked.His expression metamorphosed. From being one of uncertainty and curiosity to that of excitement and pleasure. He surely had prepared something for me.He took my wrist and led me away.I ha

    Lyra's POVMy heart was beating dangerously fast; the need to run away was provoked within me. I needed to get away from here as soon as I could. Being in such a place was a lot traumatizing, and I honestly didn't want to deal with any more trauma.However, as I turned to meet the man I had come here with, he seemed unmoving like a hill, stoic, cold, and utterly ferocious. His two hands were tucked into his pockets, and the wind ruffled his hair continuously. His sunglasses gave him the look of undeniable respect, and I knew at once that he was not scared, seeing the army that was waiting for us.His courage or lack of fear made me wonder if it was sane that I was terrified when he surely wasn't.I wondered if this could be a joke, a prank? Some sort of messed-up tradition.The men at the dock were about twenty, but whether or not he was skilled and adept in what he did, he surely couldn't win against all of them. And these ones seemed more skilled than the ones that Devlin had brough

    Lyra's POV"I'll show you to your room," Marilyn said, and I nodded my head.I followed right behind her as she climbed up the staircase and then walked to a door in the hallway. There was nobody around, and the place seemed poorly illuminated.I looked around, and there weren't any other persons who used that hallway. The walls seemed to have been cleaned in a hurry; the lights on the hallway kept flickering and then gave out in surrender.I wasn't pleased. I wondered if Marilyn was doing this on purpose; I wondered what was going on here. There seemed to be another force at play here, one that wasn't Philip's and neither was it mine.There was something notable from what I could see, and it was that Marilyn was suspicious, and so was the room she was leading me to.I walked to the door where she had stopped and then opened the door. I was met with a small bedroom; a small bed sat in the middle of the room, and I didn't have time to finish the scrutiny with my eyes when my nose felt

    Lyra's POV"I couldn't believe what I had just heard; I looked at him, unable to fathom the reality of the confession he just made. I shook my head. It seemed like my head was filled with air because I couldn't believe that my brain had stopped working for a moment. What other reason could there be that I couldn't understand the simple words he had just said to me?I was fighting against my rationality to not understand and not believe it either."What did you just say?"He nodded his head and walked past me, "I am impotent, Lyra," he said, and his hands found his waist, "I cannot bear children. And I am a ruler. I am a ruler who cannot bear children. At first, I thought the problem was with the wo…""Look at me when you address me."He instantly turned around and met my eyes. I was sure he obeyed before he gave it a second thought because the second his eyes met mine, they fell."I'm sorry," he muttered."What do you mean that you're impotent?"He raised an eyebrow at me, "I am impot

    Lyra's POV.I could not stay still in the same room with him anymore. At first, I had been looking to stay in the same room with him, even getting angry at Marilyn for not doing it. But now, I desperately wanted to thank her.She did a good job.It was as if she knew right from the start that staying in the same room with him was not a good idea.Under his scrutiny, I walked out.I knew Philip to be a respectful man, and he didn't chase me because he respected my decision. But having been told this news, I wondered the real reason why he didn't run after me.If he claimed to love me, would he not try to get me to see from his point of view? Would he not battle to be understood?There was only one answer to that question: he doesn't love me, and that's why he isn't affected by anything. That's why it doesn't bother him because he doesn't actually care about me.I walked back to the room Marilyn had showed me. I didn't have it in me to fight anymore. I walked to the curtains and pulled

    Lyra PovEverybody in the room turned to look at me. My words also succeeded in shocking me because this had been said straight from a place of rage.I looked to my side where Philip sat. He had paused. Unlike others, he didn't turn to stare at me, but rather, the food he was eating was suddenly not interesting. He dropped his fork and then pushed the plate forward."Yes," he suddenly said, "we're getting married tomorrow."Pamela and Kayla looked at each other. Kayla looked to be more surprised, but Pamela's own was at a minimum. None of them appreciated what I had said, but I said it anyway because their response was what I had been hoping for.I nodded my head, "Philip and I decided that we shouldn't push this forward anymore, and if we have it after I give birth, it'll be too late, so we're deciding now.""You're only like a few weeks away, what's still late?" Philip's mother asked.I knew she didn't like me as well, but I ignored her expression and smiled, "It would be. I think i

    Lyra PovI didn't know when I slept off. After Philip's mom left, I was back in the ugly dark room alone, waiting for Philip. I waited for hours, but he didn't show up, and eventually, I slept off.And I didn't wake up until I was comfortable enough to.My eyes fluttered open, and I walked around to the bathroom to wash my teeth, but that was when I saw that I didn't have a toothbrush nor toothpaste.I shook my head.This was literally the worst service ever.And that was when a knock came from my door.It was early in the morning, and I knew that the servants were about to start their business. They were probably here to clean the room, or maybe someone was here to give me a toothbrush.I was anxious. I didn't want to believe that Philip was the one standing on the other side of the door because I didn't think I could take it if he wasn't the one after I expected him to be there.I ignored how my heart thumped and went forward to get the door open.And unlike I thought, it wasn't Phi

    Lyra PovWe both turned around to look at the person who had called. It was a girl with short, straight hair. She was already making her way to us; the wind made her hair look like a mess, but it didn't stop her beauty from being seen.The girl had deer-like beauty, akin to that of a model, with beautiful bright eyes. The wind made her hair look like a mess, but it didn't diminish her beauty.She was taller than I am but not as tall as Philip, and her physique was one of a kind. She had curves that made her look divine; her legs were straight and long, and her waist was quite slim. Over her jeans, she wore a black leather shirt that accentuated how tiny her waist was.And this girl, this goddess, knew Philip."Tessa," he called her name, "what are you doing here so early in the morning?"However, as she met up with us, instead of answering that question, she wrapped Philip in a tight hug. What irked me was how tightly Philip reciprocated it.I knew damn well that this wasn't his siste

I think the person who poisoned you was Steven."I shook my head as I began to feel by body vibrate with the sense of being betrayed. Incident know I'd trusting Devlin's words were the right thing to do but at the moment, it made sense.He was the one that the assasin hadbeen warning me about.

I suddenly got tired and then I left the party after searching around for the both of you. What would make you think I'm lying?"She suddenly went quiet and her whose focused somewhere else, "what are you saying?" She asked, "Philip isn't with you?"I shook my head, "he isn't, and if you say he's not here then I have no fucking clue where he is".

The spaces between people kept getting more narrow and weaving through them became a huge hassle.I downed the alcohol in a go and then kept the glass on a nearest table before finding a way to swim through the sea of people, so that I could use the bathroom.I didn't even know where the bathroom was located.I looked around some more. Everybody wore masks and I was sure even the celebrant had her own mask. I suspected this because everywhere I've looked, I haven't seen her face. Akk I could see were different colors, shiny or dull and just eyes.I wasn't particularly looking for her fir I had nothing to say to her, anybody that could lead me to the bathroom right now was going to do me a huge favour."Asher?"I immediately turned around and saw a woman standing behind me.She wore a silver dress embedded with stones that glistened under the light. Her hair was shirt and brown and so were her eyes.

Only a few people were on the dancefloor doing nothing really amazing.As we walked further into the place, a waiter holding a tray approached us holding a tray of masks and then presented it to us.Asher picked one and then Lyra did before i settled for mine.I looked at the two of them first and saw the design of their mask, Lyra's own had feathers, jt was blue with shiny stones and quite beautiful to look at.Asher picked something more manly, it was plain black and had nothing quite noticeable. He just tied it around hisbface and instantly he blended with the group. So djd Lyra.I did the same."Well," Asher said, "be careful". Again he was here with his advice.
