The Dark Prince 15. The Truth.
He raced his hand through his hair. He couldn't even focus on what he was doing anymore. Sasha's words taunted him. She said things that weren't true and didn't give a damn about it. Why the hell would he abandon his mom? Is that even possible?He just needed some time and space. He wanted to heal before facing her again. And he didn't want her constant bugging of him about getting married and giving her grandkids. He knew that he won't be able to do that. He knew that he wouldn't be able to move on and was scared of her finding out that he wasn't over her. He wasn't over her death.He loved his mom so much. He couldn't believe that he was able to stay away from her for so long, but he did. Not even a single day passed without her thoughts coming into his mind like a reminder. With her, in his mind, he knew that he was bound to return even without anyone persuading him to.He laced around the room, still mad at himself and everything about him when his eyes strolled to the shiny brace
The Dark Prince 16. Harsh.
The water from her bathtub filled the sink and her entire body was in it. Who knew that this was all she needed after all? She was drenched in the sweet smell of rose and she loved everything about the way the entire room smelled of scented candles. Her eyes were closed. Her entire body lay limp and had become one with the water.Her hair was slightly wet, her white skin glowed from the effect of the candlelight that shone in the room. Yes, she wasn't wealthy but the one thing Carolyn knows how to do best is taking care of her skin and her entire body. She loved everything about body care. Somehow, that is her peace of mind. It eases her and makes her feel confident in herself.The soft instrument that played in the slightly bright room was all she could hear. It was beyond soothing. All her problems were forgotten at that moment. All she could focus on was the way every single muscle in her body that was tensed a few minutes ago became loose. All the pressure she felt was gone and he
The Dark Prince 17. Revealed.
They arrived at the estate― Sasha and Serenity. The black BMW she drove was parked as she left the key to the bodyguard and walked straight to the entrance of the mansion with serenity beside her.The large doors were opened for them as the maids in the room bowed their heads in greeting."Welcome, ma'am".There was a frown on serenity's face. She didn't even bother to look at any of them as she strode in with Sasha. All she wanted was to see her cousin. She just wanted to make sure that whatever Sasha told her was just a mere exaggeration. She didn't want to believe anything until she saw it for herself."Where is Scott?"Sasha asked immediately after she got into the main lounge. She couldn't even go in because of the last experience. She had never seen him that angry before, and in her very own eyes, he lost his calmness right in front of her."I'll go get him, ma'am"."Please do".She sat down dragging serenity down with her as they both sat."Why aren't we going to Nolan's room t
The Dark Prince 18. Rare Breed.
Bella's eyes held onto the man for a while before turning back to Caro that stared blankly like she had no idea of what was going on."What?" She asked innocuously."What is the name of the dude?" Bella whispered, tilting slightly to Caro's side hoping that the man by the door would not hear what she just said but he heard it anyway."Oh, um, Nolan".Even the call of his name made her nervous. She tried to cover it up by looking away but she was sure that Bella saw her turn red when she said his name."Nolan, his name is Nolan". Bella turned her head back to the huge man as she spoke audibly calling the attention of the other men that stood by the gate."Do you have an appointment with him?" He asked with an intimidating tone.She turned back to Caro with a raised furrowed brow in question and confusion as she quickly replaced it with confidence turning back to the man and holding his gaze"Yes! I do".Caro on the other hand had been alerted as she was in a panic. Bella just fucking l
The Dark Prince 19. Playing Along
He couldn't take his eyes off Bella. If a woman like Carolyn can have a friend like this, does it mean that she is this kind of person? Well, it could be because he kind of saw a side of her that was savagery the previous night, so he won't be shocked if his assumptions were true.He managed to drag his eyes away from her and back to Carolyn as he opened his mouth to speak."Carolyn, what a surprise". He said in a sarcastic tone. "I wasn't expecting to see you so soon".The shame was evident in her eyes but she waved it off anyway. She didn't care what he thought, she just wanted to get her phone and get the hell outta there."Trust me, I would never be here if it were up to me".He smiled with a raised brow.Yep! She is definitely what he predicted. "I see... But you are here! So may ask, what urgency brought you back?""I left a property of mine while I was being chased out, and I've come to reclaim it". She said plainly, fixing her eyes on his face.He furrowed his brow in confusio
The Dark Prince 20. Royalty
Nolan strolled into his study with a clenched fist. His eyes were dark and he fumed with fury. Ever since Kyla passed he had never let anyone, man or woman come in close contact with him. The fact that Serenity felt that she could infuriate him like that, got him even more upset. This was one of the reasons he did want to go back to The Royal mansion. He knew that he had a problem and he needed to be able to get over it before going back. But how can he go back when Kyla took over his brain, his mind, and his thoughts? For five freaking years, he still wasn't over her yet.He knows for sure that she – Kathryn Armstrong, would be worried about him. That was the last thing he wanted but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't help his shattered heart, after all, he is just human. He didn't want her to see him in his depressed state at all. He just wanted to leave and heal with time but it was all futile, he is back after five years, and he is still broken but this time, it i
The Dark Prince 21. Nolan's Return
Inside the largest estate in the states, and the largest mansion in the east, the Royal telephone rang for the first time in a while, and everyone stood in awe. It was almost impossible for that to happen and it was unbelievable. It took everyone unaware that they all paused for a while in reflex before moving after it rang for the second time.This alerted the attention of Lincoln Heridsey The Royal butler. He walked toward the ringing phone and ordered the maids to get back to what they were doing.He picked up the phone with shaky hands as he tried to simmer up some courage and placed the phone in his ear. He knows that only a member of the Royal family has access to the Royal hotline. Who could it be?The other side of the call was dead silent for a while. He could not hear a single thing, but he know that the other person can hear his shaky breath. At first, he wanted to hang up, but when that spine-icing voice came through, he felt his entire body shaking to the voice of His Imp
The Dark Prince 22. Unpredictable.
~Bleep~ ~Bleep~ ~Bleep~The alarm clock rang nonstop in the slightly dark room. Carolyn struggled to move her arm from the bed to the side where the annoying sound came from with her eyes still closed and a frown."Mgrrm". She groaned as she dragged her eyes open with all the energy she had left. Her leg had never been an issue before because she could always move them whenever she was lazy but this time, they felt like blocks of concrete. She could barely open her eyes so how the hell would her legs be any different?Anger and frustrations engulfed her and all she could do was curse. God, she hated Mondays and every workday. She finally managed to open her saggy eyes that had hell boldly written in them. She traced them to the woman snoring beside her and grunted even more."Get your ass up, Bells, it's morning".The sun wasn't out yet but it was already bright enough outside. She dragged herself from the bed and sat up, bringing her legs down and putting her feet in her soft slipper

Suggested songs: Awaken (instrumental).Beach House - Space song.Running with the Wolves - Aurora.Victory- Two steps from hell.Every single step she took down the spiral stairs brought her closer and closer to the Royal household, seated on the long large table with eyes on the stairs, waiting for her to deflect to their level.Was she nervous? ... Gravely.Her heart thumped to every step she took, as she held her breath with wide eyes and shaky fingers. She wasn't herself at all... wanting to piss her pants the closer she got to those Crazy wealthy Royals... And to crown it all, the diamond fortune dress and jewelry she wore– they weren't helping matters at all. Hell, she was fighting for balance.And as her feet touched on the very last stair, his hands appeared there, right in front of her, outta nowhere... as though he tore through time and space just to take her attention With a look of shock on her face and a slight grin on his, she rested her trembling palm on his, taking

His scent.It filled everywhereShe was too deeply asleep, too drowned in his scent, too tired to open her eyes, but when she managed to, she caught a blurry glimpse of his back and dosed back off.This was the first time in her entire life she had felt at ease, and peaceful, this was the first time in a long while she had felt as though she belonged somewhere... as though she was home.Intense black eyes.Those eyes were unable to leave her thoughts ever since she set eyes on them. When they stared at her, it was as though they stared directly into her soul. And when he aired out his deep voice in question, it was as though he spoke into her soul.Carolyn...He had called her name with that voice and she had turned into jelly blushing solely like a fool, and now, he was in her dreams, looking as hot as ever in those black outfits.He really is a prince.Do all princes look this good? She hadn't been the type to get flustered by good looks and a 'sexy as hell' strong build because sh
The Dark Prince 39. Sleeping Together.
"Are you up for it, Carolyn?"His eyes never diverted from her as he questioned her; this was the first time she did not have an answer to a question, this was the first time she was clueless about something.All she could do was stare at him while the buzzing sound in her head continued to play as she was at loss for words.Rule by his side? What does that mean?"I-I-I..." Stuttering while trying hard to breathe, he cut her off."I know you are not up for it, I also know that resculpting an already carved vase requires a lot of heat and professionalism, which is why I am going to give you a chance." with dark eyes, he mouthed and she shivered. " I will resculpt you, Carolyn."She lifted her eyes to his, staring intently. It was then she saw something flickered in his eyes, she had only just met him twice and had been up close to him only once— this was going to be the second time she had been privileged to be near him but in this short period, she had never seen this look he had in
The Dark Prince 38. Trial
"Your warm bath is ready, My Lady," Vanessa announced to Caro as she bowed slightly and exited the room. She didn't even look back or say any more than she did before she left, leaving Carolyn confused.Why did she leave like that?Did I do something wrong?She pouted swiftly before jolting up from the bed and taking wary steps with hesitation towards the large room they said was the bathroom. Her eyes grew wider with every passing second, making her gasp her lungs out as her jaws accompanied the surprise on her face.With uneasy breaths, she gulped and took a step in, carefully stepping on the glass-like floor not daring to breathe as she did so. And as her eyes surveyed the entire room, she couldn't help but tear up. Never in her life did she ever imagine that a day like this would come when she would dwell in the same place as a king or get the chance to stand in a place he once stood.She blushed at her thoughts immediately and blinked back the tears that threatened to fall out. S
The Dark Prince 37. Carolyn's Fate 2
The only sound coming from the enormous room was of knives and forks. The Royal dining room was silent as all ate cautiously in the presence of His Imperial Grace. This was the first time he was dining with them since his return and no one wanted to irritate him. Well, no one except Lady Serenity."Carolyn won't be joining us?" Serenity's voice aired in the silence as she wiped her mouth with her napkin. She traced her eyes to Sasha and then to the queen trying to stir up something to talk about with a naughty grin.She knows how well to start up a flame and cultivate it into hellfire with just the tip of her tongue. With Nolan present, now could be a good time to confirm her suspicions."I'm sure she will join us when she is fully recovered," Sasha answered her question with a wine placed on her lips afterward; at least she volunteered to break the awkwardness."Hmm, it's a bit unfortunate that her first day in the Royal household was welcomed with a tragedy, I wonder what the future
The Dark Prince 36. Confidante
His eyes remained fixed on the document he signed as more piled up waiting for him. All his five years away only added more workload on his plates and different unmatched registers that were authorized illicitly with the Royal seal by members of the boards. He spent his entire morning hours looking into those files and rounded up everything by noon.During those hours nobody dared interrupted him. His study was completely out of access, likewise the entire hallway. Scorpion on the other hand had been out for hours, carrying out the orders of his Imperial Grace. He ensured that he went into the least detail about Carolyn and suddenly grew interested in the mission when he found out intriguing things about the weird woman. He was rather fascinated and couldn't wait to return to Nolan with Every detail...The knock on the door had Carolyn jolting from the position in which she sat. She had stuffed herself and was still trying to catch her breath when Sasha came in with a smile on her
The Dark Prince 35. Carolyn's fate 1
Serenity sat on the table very calmly. She was present, but her focus was on something else. Sasha on the other hand sipped her tea calmly. She wasn't being her usual chatty self after the incident with Carolyn earlier. The fact that Nolan was so affected by it had her wondering about the kind of feelings he had for her and when it all started.She had never seen him like that before and had never seen him care for anyone the way he did Carolyn. Somehow she is the person that had managed to pull him out of his darkest days.But that wasn't what got her so quiet. Why did he suddenly order for Scott in that manner? What is going on and why does she always have this feeling that Scott is being secretive toward her? Maybe she is overthinking things or maybe it's just normal considering the number of years they were apart but still, he acts differently from before.Her hands were on her teaspoon as she continued to stir the air instead of the tea in the cup. Unaware of her actions, the tea
The Dark Prince 34. The Enemies Within.
The golden doors fled open revealing the Ruler of the East. He strolled into his study with a frown on his face and walked straight to the large seat behind the table. The woman he was with a couple of minutes ago had him questioning so many things he wasn't sure of. Ever since Kyla, no woman had been able to go close to him. He had a trauma of it and never lets anyone close, but there was something different about her. She pissed him to the point where he didn't even know when he touched her. He touched her and nothing happened to him.He had gone through so many therapies just for this for four years and yet, this woman comes and proves everything wrong. This scared him and angered him all at once. He shouldn't be feeling this way, he shouldn't be worried, he should be happy instead, but something was not right. He needed to know who she was and why she doesn't affect him."Clayton," he called the Royal guard by the corner and he stepped forward. "Yes, your grace"."Get me, Scott"
The Dark Prince 33. Ocean Blue.
His deep voice called from behind, making Kathryn turn her head to look at him. A slight smile formed on her lips as she nodded. "I'll leave you now, dear, your maidens would send breakfast over". Kathryn directed at Caro with a warm smile and stood up softly and began moving in the direction of the doors. She suddenly stopped in front of him, with a warm smile." Take good care of her". She mouthed and patted his shoulders gently before she started to move again. Her maids rushed behind her until the doors were closed shut.The room was now deserted leaving just the heartless ruler and the naive girl. His steps toward the bed were not rushed, they were calm and prideful. And the aura he possessed at that moment was similar to a burning furnace. He was already roasting her with his direct stares.Who will save her from this?Caro's eyes flew open with every step he took as she clenched even harder to the sheets. The color of her skin was the same as a cherry. He approached the bed but
