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
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 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
"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
"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
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
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
FIVE YEARS EARLIER"C'mon, let go". He mumbled.They had been arguing for hours and now he was just on the thin ice of going crazy? How did she do that? He struggled to escape this but he couldn't. She had not even given him a chance to decline, nor catch his breath.The possessive woman didn't seem like she was going to break the kiss any time soon. Her fingers dug deep into his back. He felt his flesh pulling even when there was a fabric covering his body.Did he want to scream in pain? In pleasure? In anger? He didn't have a clue. But his mouth was taken and controlled by her, his lips were no longer his."Hmhn".Did I just moan? Why? fuck! He hated what she did to him. He was defenseless, helpless, drowning in desire, for crying out loud he was fucking losing control.She held him like she knew every single part of him, she claimed him as if he was a priceless trophy, she took as if she needed his breath to live. She drove him mad and paralyzed him at the same time.He tried to

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
