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
~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
The movement of each person in the hallway was evidence to show how busy it was in the palace. Serenity sipped her coffee silently as she watched from the balcony of her room. Her eyes patrolled downwards. She watched what each and every one did and found pleasure in it. She was the happiest person that morning. After Kathryn delivered the News to her and Sasha, she was shocked. If just visiting him the previous day could bring him back, she would have done it five years ago.The smile on her face was just the tip of the iceberg of the excitement she felt. This is going to be the best party of the year and she couldn't wait for him to come already. But amidst these thoughts, she thought of the woman she saw the previous day. If Nolan was coming, was he gọing tọ bring her too? Was she the one that talked him into coming back? What is her plan? Why did Nolan pick a woman like her? She clenched her fist at her thoughts and frowned immediately.She had already decided that no woman would
Kathryn sat in front of the dressing mirror surrounded by maids that perfected her makeup and styled her with the best jewels. Her eyes were just fixed on her reflection. Her excitement was hidden because she was composed but it was clear that she was at peace. it was written in her eyes.The maids were careful as they added even more beauty to her already pure beauty. She wondered what her son would be like after five years. Even if she had seen him in pictures, she wanted to see him in person. She wanted to hold him and feel her flesh and blood again. She wanted to tell him how much she had missed him all these years and how she searched everywhere just to get hold of him. She couldn't wait for him to come. She was overwhelmed with joy.She was still in her thoughts when the doors opened to The ladies of the Royal household."Your majesty". Serenity greeted with a smile. "Hello, your Grace". Sasha also greeted her with a smile.Kathryn's eyes were on them as she returned their smil
The sky was already getting dark and the entire castle was packed. This time everyone was present. From the ministers to the Senates, and even the chief commanders of different states. They sat on the large table of power close to the throne that held the queen. It was a grand and powerful party held for just one man. The most relevant man in the country.After hours of waiting,The black Bentley bentayga stopped right in front of the mansion as men in black suits were scattered around and stood in their positions. The Royal mat was dropped to the floor, and the Royal trumpets were raised high in the air, ready to be blown, The Royal announcer took his position and every single person stood on their feet to Welcome Their Imperial Grace. The entire hall went silent, it was As if time froze because not even a single sound was made.At that moment, the doors of the car were open to the powerful being. He stepped down from the car with grace, pride, and power, carefully examining his cast
As the party went on, they feasted and feasted with wines and champagnes of different sorts. His Welcome party was the most Celebrated and had never been heard of in the history of Celebrations before. Everything happened there, ladies from the wealthiest backgrounds fought their way to introduce themselves to him, many failed, and many got to meet him. It was the event of the yearThe Royal floor was open for dancers, many princes danced with their partners, and others followed after a while. A toast was being made to him, and the celebration continued. Serenity returned after spending some time with her lover and Sasha stayed by the queen's side the entire night. Kathryn had to retire early since it was already late and Sasha followed her. Aunt Gracie and the other countesses chatted continuously, she knows that the castle was the largest in the East and knows that every member of the Royal household had a chamber so she wasn't bothered about gọing back. While others left one after
Men in black?They looked like they had come to capture someone. She just stood there speechless with a shock-ridden face. She couldn't speak, she could breathe and she couldn't move. She stood there like a statue.What was this about?The man standing in front of her with his hands crossed backward looked grim and seemed to be in charge there because he stood in front of the door, while the others stood behind him like they were guarding him. He was also in a black suit but his was very different from what the others wore. It was obvious that it was tailored and it was somewhat a butler's attire. His hair was perfectly combed back, his posture was like that of a hulk, and his composure was at its peak. He seemed very cultured, lenient, and approachable. His skin was creamy tanned and he looked advanced.Who is he?His eyes were directly on hers, as they traced from her head to her toe with a raised brow. Was this the lady the queen requested for or was this the wrong address?"Are yo
Nolan's eyes opened to the sun rays penetrating through the curtains. He squinted his eyes at the light and raised his arms above his head to stretch a little. His hair was still arranged, and his face had no wrinkles. was as if he didn't sleep at all. He was still in a laid state, his head still on his pillow when he heard a knock on the door. Just two times.Scorpion strolled in. His hands were behind his back and he was in a black tux- this was his professional uniform. Immediately, he walked to the curtains and opened them wide. He turned around to take his position and wake up his Royal Majesty the only way he knew how to but paused when he saw his dark eyes open. It was at that moment he realized that he was late."Good morning, your Grace". He managed, covering up the shock.Nolan did not respond. He didn't even say anything, he just sat up, pulled up his covers, took his legs down, and slid them into his extremely soft slippers as he stood up and strolled into his bathroom, mo
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
"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
"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 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
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
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 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"
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
